Saturday Morning

Jonah Goldberg is irritated and alienated. Since you ask, yes, I can relate...

Comments

[matt - deplore me if you must]

The Grand High Dudgeonor has spoken.

The NYT/WaPo/major news/establishment metaverse (since it's mainly fantasy) invokes a delirium of self righteousness that has finally managed to piss off most of the country and for that matter, the Western World.

From banning farting cows to cutting off our oil to spite our faces to CRT to Common Core pretty much everything they have told us is false and/or destructive.

The search for excellence is now a dumbing down that started in our universities of all places.

Every now and then a Musk comes along and dazzles us, but it is in discovering and inventing and creating lasting meaning that we move forward. And if ever there was a symbol to sum up the damage and mediocrity it is Biden and his crew.

Off to the Huntington Library and dim sum. There's a Holbein the Younger exhibit at the Getty that looks interesting. I may save that for next week.

In other news, we are formally out of our house in Southampton that we sold. The last of the treasures we wanted to keep are on a truck on their way to Florida. Family home since 1913 when my grandfather built it for the massive sum of $5,000. When not travelling with my Air Force dad, we lived there.

Then while we were in London and getting ready to come back, the spouse designed a total renovation and supervised it until it was ready for occupancy. On the day we moved in, I sat outside with a vodka tonic when Esliabet came out and announced it was time (she was 9 months pregnant:)

So, it was the house Frederick was born in. Actually, the hospital, just down the road. We raised him there with frequent travels to our condo in Florida. When he was in 7th grade, we moved back permanently but still kept a place in Florida. He graduated and started high school at Mercy in Riverhead. Then the diocese decided to shut it down and we were not going to send him to the nearest catholic high school which was in West Islip, an hour drive away.

That's when we started looking boarding schools and hit on Canterbury in CT. Great independent catholic school. 2 years there for Frederick and we could easily visit for the football games, his wrestling, and spring Crew regattas. Elisabet wanted him to finish is last two years at her alma mater at Atlantic College, Wales. They had a 2 year International Baccularate program. Now after graduating, he wants to matriculate in Media & Culture at the University of Amsterdam.

So, he is all over the map and we are settled in Florida. No regrets but I can feel a shallow spot of family history.

[clarice]

People who insist on being above the fray, leave rats to devour us. Maybe neither side is perfect, but one side is definitely better than the other or no side.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Let's Go Jonah!

[clarice]

I can understand your nostalgia, Jim.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Our side is, at best, pining for the days of JFK, though some of us are pining for the era of Harding and Coolidge, and even some a bit more radical, for Arnaud Amaury. :)

The other side is appointing actual communists, you know, the older and equally brutal cousins of Nazis, who announce as goals the bankrupting of the oil, gas and coal industries and imprisoning people who believe they are in charge of their health and bodies. This side is pining for and shooting for, and if allowed to will no doubt achieve the days of the Holodomor, caused by their ideological and spiritual ancestors.

FTS and any dumbass with a head the size of a haystack and a brain the size of a pea, like Jonah Effing Goldberg, stupid enough to think the first side deserves a pox on its house.
He's a stupid POS who would enable the triumph of tyranny were the people whose side he used to litter with his fat-ass-presence as worthless and stupid as he but who will instead do whatever is necessary to prevent the triumph of evil while bad, fat, fatuous, limp dick "men" like St Jonah the Sanctimoious do nothing.

[clarice]

Iggy, you said it better than I did.

[sbwaters]

Since you ask, yes, I can relate...

It’s a start. ;-)

No regrets but I can feel a shallow spot of family history.

"Can’t go back there, anymore." — But at least, once, you were there.

Time! Time! Time! See what’s become of me!

[sbwaters]

Ig, I admire your focus and wordsmithing.

[Jim Eagle]

There is a black guy named King who is playing soccer for Norway in a World Cup Qualifier against Latvia. Keeping with home language he should change his name to Konge (Norwegian for King:)

[Jane]

TM,

I read Jonah(for the first time in many years) and I wanted to punch him.it was worth thinking about but I came to a very different conclusion. Jonah hated Trump long before he took office - and by making that very clear he pretty much destroyed NR. I never figured out why although I assume it was a NY thing.

Lots wrong with the GOP, but liberals, particular the lying press are beyond the pale.

[Jim Eagle]

Now here is an interesting niche market: Used Farm Tractors

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wild-bidding-wars-erupt-used-141507973.html

Some tractors from times like the late 90's are selling close to today's tractor values.

[Jim Eagle]

Jane,

Upper West Side versus 5th Avenue at Central Park.

Plus he is a Queens guy. IOW's takes no crap from anyone. My spouses currently in the Rockaway's and loves the honest answers to any question.

[Momto2]

Just received a message from MM's son that she has had another episode and is back in the hospital. I will update when I hear more. They don't seem to know yet what's going causing this.

[Jane]

Clarice, I never knew I was a “domestic terrorist”. Not one but twice. Will they make me get rid of my TeaParty sign?

[Jim Eagle]

Momto2,

Smoking will catch up to a senior if they are still puffing.

[Pinandpuller]

I heard Jonah Goldberg likes to cruise.

What’s more, if I were he, I’d worry about being tossed over by the sailors in a storm.

[Pinandpuller]

Wow Jack, I knew you were connected, but you found a truck driver.

You’ve got juice!

[Pinandpuller]

That’s a comment on the times and, specifically, #Biden’sAmerica.

It’s in no way directed AT you if that’s not clear. FTR.

[Pinandpuller]

Technically, I am a truck driver because I have a Class A CDL with a Hazmat endorsement, but you can’t afford me , because I won’t go anywhere that I can’t carry a gun.

[Pinandpuller]

“Ms. Smith, I see here you have a PhD in Women’s Studies. That and a $20 gold piece will buy you a cup of warm roasted dandelion root drink.”

[Davod]

Pin and Clarice:

Re. the women's material sent to Russia as part of Lend Lease.

The Russians received $11.3 billion in WWII dollars from the US, so $181 million is a drop in the bucket.

Clarice. What better way to hide thievery from the US side (Or US/Russian)than to 'ship' non-military material to Russia. If the material was never sent - bombs and bullets may be missed, but material for women?

“The women of Russia have every reason to be well dressed, even today, thanks to Mr. Hopkins. In the three years 1942-1944 we sent the Russians dress goods costing more than$152 million, plus $24 million of satin twill, and ribbons, braids and trimmings, costing millions more—a grand total of $181 millions for women’s apparel. (In the same period the Russian Army got only $21 million of uniform material).—George Racey Jordan"

[Davod]

More info on Lend Lease, especially from the Brits (Who were supporting the Russians, at the expense of their own forces):

Did Russia Really Go It Alone? How Lend-Lease Helped the Soviets Defeat the Germans

[matt - deplore me if you must]

Please join me in prayers for MM2. Sounds like she may need them.

What you didn't know, Davod, is that that satin and lace went into frilly things for the nomenklatura. Much like Muslim women, the Soviets, like Robert De Niro in the film Stardust, enjoyed rouging their cheeks, putting on a pair of G.I. issue nylons and going out to the Lubyanka, which had a night club on the top floor.

It was said that Stalin had a thing for a man in blue velvet.

This is all from the secret histories stored in the Lubyanka basement that were briefly available between 6 and 8 AM on Tuesdays in March of 1990.

--Ig, I admire your focus and wordsmithing.--

Even I couldn't figure out what I said in that last paragraph when I reread it.

The edit function at JOM2 is nice, along with the universal disdain for fat tubs of shit like the odious Goldberg.

[Pinandpuller]

Just imagine how big egos would be if judges in America were addressed as “My Lord.”

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--I read Jonah(for the first time in many years) and I wanted to punch him.--

Good for you Jane.
I bet he'd drop like a sack of door knobs.
Which makes sense because, he is a knob.

[Narciso]

I had no problem figuring it out, I know the converse is not always true, there were signs as far back as a dozen years ago, when he was evincing category error,

schiff tried to end nunes career, one of the only people who had a clue back in 2017, we didn't realize the level of fabrications that were involved them,

[Pinandpuller]

GUS and I were having a conversation last night (or early this morning) about making a living inside the boundaries of one’s moral framework.

People like Jonah Goldberg, David French and Candace Owens are Editorial Hitmen.

[Narciso]

I don't see how candace ends up in that circle, pin, she doesn't always get things right but as gaff put it in blade runner 'who does'

Maher .. there’s lots of “resegregation” and a belief that “you’re either a racist or you don’t know you’re a racist.”

[Dave (in MA)]

Iggy seems to like Goldberg more that some of us do.

[Pinandpuller]

This is funny, don’t know if I ever knew this. You know the thing:

“Jonah Goldberg's career as a pundit started almost literally from his mother's coattails. In 1998, nobody had ever heard of Jonah Goldberg, but his mother was a principal player behind the scenes in Bill Clinton's sex scandal. She advised Linda Tripp to tape her conversations with Monica Lewinsky, and Lucianne Goldberg later brought those tapes and assorted sordid allegations to the attention of numerous reporters, Paula Jones' attorneys ... and her son Jonah.

With his mother, Jonah Goldberg listened to the then-secret Lewinsky tapes, and with this inside knowledge.”

[Dave (in MA)]

Davod, a while back it occurred to me that I hadn't picked up any Dire Straits records since during Reagan. I found a fairly cheap CD box 'The Studio Albums 1978–1991' of all their albums that I could order. Now I have to pick up their live albums at some point.

[Pinandpuller]

Does Australia sell Coffee Mate?

I feel like it would cause a lot of confusion.

[Jim Eagle]

Good Morning: Anyone got the latest on MM2?

[clarice]

I had an instant message from her last night on FB. DIdn't say anything about her condition.

[clarice]

Good morning, JOM!https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/11/all_he_had_was_a_handgun.html

[clarice]

Actually, I think the IM's were from a scammer who had hacked MM's account.

[sbwaters]

Excellent, Clarice. Clear, cogent, compelling.

Left unsaid and no less true is that it is a clear indictment 50 years of failure of public schools, colleges and universities, political parties, and the deep state.

[Momto2]

Great Pieces, Clarice (as always) - Thank you!

I haven't heard anything new from MM's son this morning.

[Melinda]

Nicely summed up, Clarice.

[clarice]

Thanks!

We had a 3 day hiatus when no birds showed up to gobble our holly bberries. Today a flock of robins is at it.Apparently the berries are a big treat because the birds dive and swoop all over the trees.

[Momto2]

Sounds beautiful, Clarice! My bluebirds are hanging around - checking to make sure I've cleaned out the houses in preparation for next spring. It's a chilly 30 degrees here so some of my other birds are enjoying the suet.
