Brent Baker fills us in.
This poor woman is so out of touch it defies logic, but that comes easily to the left. Meanwhile, Ms Baron she can join Jonathan Capehart in his PBS playhouse and enjoy a great big sob.
New York State Attorney General Letitia James, soon after Donald Trump’s smashing victory, announced she would continue her efforts to collect the $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump for allegedly inflating his worth so to receive better terms on a loan he was seeking.
Time was, up to–let’s say around midnight this past Tuesday–most people reacting to a threat from the AG of New York would have their lawyers issue some sort of wimpy– “please don’t hurt me”– response to her threat along the lines of
We are in receipt of your recent demands addressed to our client. Please be advised we will protect our client’s rights to the maximum extent possible against any unjust actions undertaken by your office.
Or similar rubbish.
There has been a sea change. Consider the response of Mike Davis, a possible contender for Attorney General of the United States in the new Trump administration, to James’s threat.
I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.
Left-wing thugs can still threaten us as they did in the past, but now they don’t scare us. They are the ones who should be scared. About time.
From the New York Post, of course:
And a bit of the copy:
The Yankees great also posted that the win was “massive” for “our great country” and praised Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Vice President-elect JD Vance, and “the people.”
“I’m most proud of the people. We did it!” the two-time World Series champion wrote.
Indeed.
Liberal PBS News commentator Jonathan Capehart was left aghast at the preliminary election results suggesting that former President Donald Trump is in a strong spot.
“There’s a shift right and then there’s a shift to Trump,” Capehart vented on the program. “I am mystified in some ways simply because we’re talking about a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted-on-34-felony-counts former president.”
The poor dear, go back to your PBS playhouse. The real world is for big boys.

Your Tatler has listened to so many recordings in his life he cannot possibly estimate their number. He has also reviewed a good number of them, how many he cannot say. It hardly matters; when it comes to the one you see above, without a doubt, and risking hyperbole–but so what–it is the most beautiful and expertly performed recording he has heard in many, many years.
The title explains its contents and, in addition to the splendid audio (192k.0 kHz when streaming), it comes with well written and informative notes.

Bishop Robert Barron Pans ‘Conclave’ Movie: ‘Run Away From It As Fast As You Can’ |
From the article:
Bishop Robert Barron is urging Catholics to skip the new film Conclave — a fictional movie that depicts a papal conclave — saying that it “checks every woke box.”
“If you are interested in a film about the Catholic Church that could have been written by the editorial board of the New York Times, this is your movie,” Barron, the bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, said in a post on X after watching the film himself.
“The editorial board of the New York Times:” Golly, how could it possibly be worse. Read it all.
The 2024 Presidential election is the most depressing one that your Tatler can recall. At this writing it does finally appear the prospect appears favorable for Donald Trump’s victory, a man this blogger has been a fan of since he first came to public attention with his rescuing the restoration of Central Park’s Wollman Skating Rink in 1986. Nevertheless, unlike in the past, a possible Republican victory this election gives no pleasure to Bickerstaff. It looks as if our country has simply gone too far to the left to be saved.
Nearly every major institution has been co-opted and corrupted by the left: government, of course, local, state, and federal, our educational institutions, along with our media and cultural ones. Most depressing, sexuality has been turned upside down, with the adaptation of the absurd and downright preposterous notion one’s sex is merely a matter of changeable choice. If a man desires to be a woman, or vice versa, voilà, it is so. If said former man wishes to go even further and have his genitals removed or, similarly, a woman desires a penis, major medical institutions are only too happy to oblige, often at the expense of the rest of us.
It is difficult to see how even the excellent Donald Trump can arrest and reverse the overwhelming decay this country is suffering. Perhaps it can be, however, the only way this blogger can see that happening is through the power of prayer. With God’s help our country can come out of this wretched situation; His love, agape, for his creation has not ceased in the slightest despite the decadency and decay of our times, but His creation has to want to be saved and that can only be accomplished by our loving Him with all our hearts, and with all our souls, and with all our minds.
Can it happen? Yes, but it will take a mighty collective effort of will and prayer in this country to make it happen. Let us pray.
It will be making its way down here shortly.
On the eve of Election Day Bickerstaff recalls, when he was but a lad, his father telling his children not long after the 1964 election: “They told me if I voted for Goldwater there would be inflation, our cities would go up in flames, and crime would soar. I voted for Goldwater and by God, they were right.”
Has anything changed?
Barry Goldwater, a prophet without honor, not even in his own country.
