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.

Milei’s Free Market Master Class, FBI Snooping on Purchases & Searches, Speaker Johnson on Thin Ice?

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. He and Greg have three doozies for martinis today. First, they loudly cheer new Argentina President Javier Milei for going to the World Economic Forum in Davos and boldly championing free markets and denouncing excessive government regulation and collectivist policies. Why aren't more American conservatives able to defend freedom and condemn government intrusion so well?

Next, they hammer the FBI for snooping on our purchases and searches (without warrants of course) and apparently determining that people who shop at Cabela's, read the Bible, or support Donald Trump are some sort of threat.

Finally, they roll their eyes and unload on a few House Republicans for threatening to boot House Speaker Mike Johnson for agreeing to another continuing resolution on federal spending. The frustration is certainly understandable but, for multiple reasons, simple math tells us that vacating the chair won't solve anything.
