What you might not know about Lucianne Goldberg
Posted By: Magnante, 11/2/2022 4:46:26 AM
Lucianne would have laughed uproariously at what is happening in San Francisco and at what Elon Musk is doing with Twitter. (snip) the Lucianne I knew for the past 27 years was probably the most discreet person in public life. She knew just about everybody in politics and the media. She knew lots of the nitty gritty embarrassing details in the lives of the rich and famous but she never publicized them. She had a bawdy sense of humor and might have been outspoken in private discussions (snip), but she was not a malicious gossip. Only the Clintons brought out her knives.

fracture his ribs and back, and destroy
his car 19 replies
The Bay Area is experiencing mobs of bicycle riders stopping to attack and seriously injure drivers who provoke their wrath, while riding around in large groups that the cyclists call “ride outs.” ABC7News (KGO Television) reports:
A Santa Clara driver suffered fractures to his ribs and back after a mob of bicyclists brutally assaulted him following an accident involving one of them.
This is the latest in a string of violent incidents involving large groups of bicyclists, popularly known as “ride outs”, a rapidly growing trend where large, often informal groups of cyclists -- from dozens to thousands -- gather to ride through city streets.
Venezuela is free!
20 replies
Oh, what a fine morning it was to wake up to pictures of little orange puffs over Caracas with the news that U.S. forces took out Hugo Chavez's tomb (snip) every detail was already planned out. (snip)
"The Venezuelan opposition has already mobilized to secure government buildings and work toward establishing a legitimate administration." (snip) This is Trump's greatest achievement, one that is sure to have reverberations, none good, for the ruling claques in Cuba, Nicaragua and Iran. He truly is the new Liberator of the Americas.
Ben Domenech has a very interesting take on Vice President Vance in an essay on The Transom.
>>[T]he truth is: They hate him because they view him as a traitor to their class, after they welcomed him with open arms.<< He recounts the rapturous response Hillbilly Elegy received upon publication and the instant celebrity conferred upon Vance, in so small part because it satisfied a need of “people on the center left trying to make some sense of (or offer some dismissive explanation for) the Trump phenomenon.”

personnel to NATO bases in the US, Canada,
the UK, and Germany 6 replies
An operation dubbed Atlantic Eagles, underway now, is a small but potentially very significant step toward integrating Japan’s military might into the NATO alliance. Four F-15 Eagles, along with 2 C-2 military transports and 2 aerial refueling aircraft, a KC-46A and a KC-767, are visiting Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, CFB Goose Bay in Canada, RAF Coningsby and Brize Norton in the U.K. and Germany's Laage Air Base.
This marks the first time in history that Japanese warplanes have been deployed to Canada and Europe. A total of 180 personnel from 4 different Japanese bases are traveling with the aircraft
Today, Tuesday, September 16, two physician groups with contrasting philosophies are giving congressional briefings on medical treatment for infertility.
There is a debate in medical circles on the best type of infertility therapy. The birth rate in the U.S. is 1.62 per woman and declining. (snip) The first physician group to testify today will be by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the very well funded professional organization of IVF physicians. This will be followed by a presentation from advocates of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM), who hold to a newer and more holistic philosophy of women’s health care, with testimony from physicians and patients on infertility therapies.
Why “No mas dolares” going south?
10 replies
I just spoke with my friend Allan Wall, a Mexico analyst, and we discussed the fact that dollars are not going south, i.e., remittances or “remesas” in Spanish. This is the report:
According to the Banco de México , “In July of 2025, remittance income from the exterior [mostly the U.S.] totalled 5.33 billion dollars, a decrease of 4.7%.”
That’s 4.7% less than July of 2024. (snip) it’s embarrassing that Mexico, a country rich in resources, must depend on someone sending a monthly transfer to his mom. They unleash criticism of a government that won’t develop its own resources, such as oil, but would rather depend on foreign welfare.
A history of violence
8 replies
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a horrific reminder that the left is based on nothing other than terror, violence, and aggression.
This has been true since Karl howled to Friedrich that the bourgeois would someday pay for his plague of skin boils. The history of the Left is a history of violence. Scarcely a single leftist government has gained power without violence or the threat of violence. No leftist government has ever remained in power without violence.
Violence is built into the very foundations of leftist ideology. Marx himself fantasized in print over the apocalyptic events that would accompany the revolution of the proletariat
A prominent star among Japanese CEOs, Takeshi Niinami, was just defenestrated from his high-profile job as CEO of Suntory Holdings, Japan’s largest producer of spirits, with sales of $11.2 billion dollars last year. (snip) Niinami has been an atypical CEO by freely speaking out on issues of public interest, and continues to serve as the head of Keizai Doyukai, translated as “The Japan Association of Corporate Executives,” a group of individual executives focused on policy issues, usually regarded as more progressive and open than the other two major business groups
British voters still are asleep
10 replies
Here's the current breakdown if a British election were held today: Reform:30%
Labor: 21%
Conservative: 17%
Liberal Democrats: 13%
Greens: 9%
In other words the parties that have brought Britain to the brink of civil war by supporting mass immigration still command 60% of the vote. Not a picture that suggests massive support for dramatic change. I know, the "first past the post" system would give Reform, at 30%, a large Parliamentary majority, but that doesn't mean the country would be remotely close to unified behind a Reform government.
How do you solve a problem like Ketanji?
34 replies
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has become a problem for her Supreme Court colleagues, attacking them in dissents and generating counter-attacks in majority opinions. (snip) Jackson unleashed a tongue-lashing on her colleagues, who she suggested were unethical, unthinking cutouts for Trump (snip) Jackson has attacked her colleagues in opinions, shattering traditions of civility and restraint. Her colleagues have clearly had enough. She now regularly writes diatribes that neither of her fellow liberals — Justices Sonia Sotomayor or Elena Kagan — are willing to sign on to. (snip) She accused the majority of an “unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role” and vented that she “cannot abide” such a “narrow-minded approach.”
The “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing arrangement has put the United States’ hundred billion dollar+ intelligence budget at the service of the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, vastly benefitting the intelligence agencies of Anglosphere allies. But, to the shock of many, the Trump administration is cutting them out of key areas of interest. (snip) There is no love lost between President Trump and the collective Deep State of the Anglosphere.
In concert with Deep State operatives embedded in the US intel community, spooks from half of the other four members collaborated in trying to bring down President Trump’s first campaign and then successfully hobble his first term in office.
I confess to a tiny drop of pity for Trump-haters within the tidal wave of amusement I experience watching them deal with the successes President Trump already has experienced. The worst of it for TDS sufferers right now must be the border, where within mere weeks, and to the enthusiastic approval of the American people, President Trump has stanched the flow of millions of unvetted foreigners down to an almost undetectable trickle.
Consider the dilemma this creates for the Ministry of Progressive Propaganda, also known as the New York Times.

Who Cares If Democrats Boycott Trump’s SOTU?
31 replies
A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.
Brazilian social media influencer Bianca Dias died on Thursday following complications from plastic surgery.
The 27-year-old social media star reportedly suffered a pulmonary embolism — a risk tied to major cosmetic procedures — after experiencing shortness of breath while recovering from a recent surgery at her family’s house near Sao Paulo, TMZ reported.
Dias was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to save her.
The bank admitted on Friday that “more than 50 Trump accounts” were cut off in February 2021, weeks after the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, according to the New York Times.
The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet.
Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”
Speaker Johnson Denies Jesse Jackson Family

Request for Him to Lie in State in the Capitol 28 replies
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There are very strict protocols governing who can lie in state. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney was denied that honor. Generally, the honor is reserved for presidents, noted military leaders, and select government officials.
Mayor Mamdani Urges New Yorkers to Help

Shovel Snow — But They Must Show Two
Forms of ID! 24 replies
New York City officials are looking to hire 1,000 emergency snow shovelers as a major winter storm moves toward the region.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade.
“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said.
”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added. Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants,
"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
"Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, "It's just like when Joe Biden said, 'Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.'"
The California political machine is officially in panic mode.
With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely.
Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumps all candidates from all parties into one single primary election.
The only rule?
The top two vote-getters advance to the general election
Party affiliation doesn’t matter
That means:
If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.
Biden Briefed and Approved Mar-a-Lago Search
21 replies
A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home.
The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home.
In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team.
Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.
Dems will roll out their perfect agent

of subterfuge, Abigail Spanberger, in
response to SOTU 20 replies
Abigail Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia, who has been tapped to deliver the Democrats’ State of the Union reply Tuesday night, is the perfect avatar for her party’s deception.
With her long blond bob, minimalist makeup, pinched face and brisk air, she looks like the sort of competent working mom you’d encounter at school drop-off in any affluent suburb. In other words, she seems like somebody you instinctively trust.
But don’t be fooled by appearances. Spanberger is an expert at subterfuge, having spent eight years as an undercover CIA case officer, aka a spy, under Barack Obama and John Brennan, in the era when Democrats turned national security back on itself.
Former Vice President Mike Pence just reminded the MAGA movement what a duplicitous traitor he is — and always has been.
On Friday afternoon, Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s three liberal members to strike down President Trump’s signature tariff policy, a central tenet of his 2024 campaign.
Pence, who is widely despised across the conservative grassroots, took to the X platform to celebrate the decision:
Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.
Trump Calls on Netflix to Fire Susan Rice
18 replies
This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist.
On Preet Bharara’s podcast, Obama’s scandal-scarred former U.N. ambassador promised that any corporation, law firm, university, or media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted when the left is back in charge. “It’s not gonna end well for them,” she warned, casting basic engagement with the Trump administration as a kind of original sin that must be punished.
And now President Donald Trump wants accountability.
On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.
Black homeowners are fuming over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat that he’ll raise their property taxes by nearly 10% — with some telling The Post it could force them out of New York City.
“Mayor Zohran Mamdani you are out of your goddamn mind,” Cambria Heights resident James Johnson seethed.
Critics like Johnson, 35, a Democratic City Council candidate and an activist for the predominantly black and working class Queens neighborhood, argued the proposed tax hike was a whiplash-inducing departure from Hizzoner’s campaign promise that only the ultra wealthy would see their taxes go up under his administration.
