Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.

Another Saturday edition of the Ricochet Podcast with a super-sized running time and a legendary guest: The Podfather himself, Norman Podhoretz, whose seminal book Making It has just been re-released to mark its 50th anniversary. We talk about the book, and about the world, both past and present. Also, in-fighting at the White House, North Korea saber rattling, and what was your first concert? Well, we bet it wasn't who Peter Robinson saw.
Public service announcement: if you’re not a member of Ricochet and enjoy this podcast, be one of the 1,500 and join today.

Y'all seem to be making a lot of assumptions about behind-the-scenes stuff that led to the President's bombing of Syria. Rumors abound. But with such extreme emotional commitments both for and against Trump, why put faith in any of them? We might not know how much strategy was behind the decision until we see how it relates to future strikes and diplomacy.
Nuking the Norks isn't an option. But perhaps saturation bombing the capitol should be. Have even the Castros so brutally kept their people down in poverty and desperation? Coordinate with China and South Korea to obliterate the entire North Korea regime and let its people learn from their neighbors what commerce can do. Whatever follows won't be pretty or easy, but neither are their present circumstances.
Rob, a teenager who doesn't see the point of attending college probably shouldn't go immediately. How likely is that person to commit to studying and developing a career foundation, rather than succumbing to social idiocy, if he or she doesn't want to be there? A couple years working will either enlighten to kid or prove him right. If colleges aren't strongly biased in favor of freshly graduated applicants, then the parents' money will be as helpful if and when the child determines college is necessary.

The “job signaling” function of college has been hijacked to financially rape the middle class and indoctrinate and financially support leftism everywhere. The graft and waste is incredible. This is going to end badly.
I wish the Koch Brothers would start a two year college where you completely opt out of the job signaling (no accreditation) garbage and just go to get educated by smart libertarians / conservatives / Camille Paglia / VDH types with the only purpose of thinking clearly and being a good, productive person. The Right needs way more people--in the big picture sense--- that get how the Left is driving this country into the ground. Then you marry this with something that isn’t going to to be outsourced to robots or globalized labor.
Prager U and Tom Wood’s Liberty Classroom are sort of inceptions of it.
I just saw this.

I’m pretty sure the dog story is false.
Also, Newt Gingrich has zero merit. He’s the Tom Friedman of the Right.
