Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Join Jim and Greg as they dig into reports that White House officials tried and failed to remove one of President Biden’s biggest liabilities. They also have plenty to say about America’s perilously low fertility rates and USC deciding to punish its graduates out of fear of some radical students.
First, they pop the popcorn and discuss the New York Post report that de facto White House Communications Director Anita Dunn tried to get Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to take a new job in order to hire someone much more talented than Jean-Pierre at the podium. But Jean-Pierre doesn’t want to leave and the Biden team can’t fire her.
They also shudder as the U.S. fertility rate drops to a record low of 1.62 births per woman. That is well below the rate of replacement and also spells big trouble for a government incapable of any spending restraint and that is in the midst of an avalanche of retirements in the baby boom generation. The current path is unsustainable and Jim offers young Americans encouragement that they can and should get married and start having babies.
Finally, they denounce the University of Southern California’s decision to cancel the main commencement ceremony out of fears there will be disruptions related to Middle East grievances. They explain how this only rewards the troublemakers and Jim stresses that the Class of 2024, of all groups, deserves to celebrate commencement.

Greg said about KJP checking the boxes, “She’s a woman, obviously.” The presumption, sir! Are you a biologist?
What if the commencement speakers have prepared remarks, but don’t follow them at the event? Maybe have them pre-record, and then lip-sync.
Breaking the rules to advance leftist goals is always rewarded, big time.
She would become the Greta Thunberg of anti-Zionism.
