Jun 6Failed to save articlePlease try againPlaywright Jonathan Spector mined rich material from the Berkeley mindset for his Tony-nominated play ‘Eureka Day.’ (Cheshire Isaacs)Spector talked with KQED’s Brian Watt about his Broadway debut, the serendipitous foresight of his story, and a Kennedy Center production that he’s grateful never came to fruition.
The Democrat Party’s “Speak with American Men” Project (Member Post)

1 month ago | ricochet.com | Brian Watt

The brain trust of the Democrat Party still cannot understand why Kamala Harris and Tim Walz didn’t attract and sway young American males to vote for them, and who instead turned out to vote for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. So they’re spending millions of dollars and commissioning an exhaustive research effort to actually speak with these younger grunting, primitive, knuckle-dragging, troglodytes. Of course, it speaks volumes about how ideologically entrenched and clueless Democrats are.

For All You White Male Christian Cis-Gender Macho MAGA Men Out There (Member Post)

This one is for you. Sometimes removing a corrupt and dishonest bureaucrat is like removing a tick that burrows further into the skin. One quite nasty pest, Susan Rice, managed to burrow into the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee sometime before President Trump’s inauguration, presumably still with Top Secret clearance since she was a former national security advisor and, for a time, a prospect to become the secretary of state.
Lucky She Hasn’t Been Court-Martialled (Member Post)

Please note that members of the military and, in particular, commissioned officers can be relieved of duty by the Secretary of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief at any time. They don’t need to provide a reason or an extensive explanation of why they are doing so. And as much as this action may irritate them, they don’t need the permission of egomaniacal district court judges.

Paging Jessica Tarlov Re: Astroturfed Anger at DOGE (Member Post)

Feb 26, 2025 | ricochet.com | Brian Watt

Jessica Tarlov is the token Democrat talking head often appearing on the Fox News program The Five surrounded by four more level-headed center-right and conservative commentators including Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine Pirro, and often Dana Perino. It’s a thankless job but someone must do it. Typically, when Tarlov is unavailable, Harold Ford, Jr., a calmer and much saner thinker, takes the Democrat seat at the table.
Marco Rubio is Wrong! (Member Post)

Feb 26, 2025 | ricochet.com | Brian Watt

In a recent interview, Secretary Rubio responded to the reported demand by Zelensky in the developing peace negotiations. Rubio said (emphasis mine):“I haven’t heard him [Zelensky] say that, so if he’s out there saying that, I don’t think that’s a realistic demand to have,” Rubio continued. “We need less nuclear-armed countries, not more — nor do I think that solves their problem as they view it.
The Pirates of the Judiciary (Member Post)

Feb 12, 2025 | ricochet.com | Brian Watt

District judges are not elected. They are appointed after being nominated and approved by the Senate. Some of them appear to be doing the bidding of desperate Democrats who are rudderless and shouting epithets to the wind. For example, District Court Judge John Bates has just ruled that the Trump administration must restore information regarding transgender surgeries and transgender ideology that was removed from the websites for HHS, the CDC, and the FDA.
The State of the Union Address is Going to be Lit (Member Post)

Feb 11, 2025 | ricochet.com | Brian Watt

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has invited President Trump to deliver his State of the Union address on March 4th. The event is sure to be raucous. Given all the revelations about fraud, waste, and abuse that Democrats refuse to address specifically, Trump will hopefully read out each example. Whether he pauses to shake his head or look directly at the Democrats and say, “Really?” or “Have you no shame?”…or “American taxpayers’ money to terrorists and terrorist affiliates?
