Okay, if Jonah Goldberg’s rapid rise beyond his talent or intelligence level, early hiring and continued association at National Review, fervent Never Trumpism, employment of his wife by Haley at the UN, best pals status with Ben Sasse, etc., weren’t enough, we have today the column from him that absolutely cements him as a Deep State/CIA stooge:

What, 9/11 with connections to the Bushes? Heaven forbid, could never be! A whole column on “conspiracy theories” without mention of the term’s invention and use by the CIA to divert from the Kennedy assassination, etc.
So on a hunch I’ve long had (we already know his mom was a long-time political dirty trickster with great access to undercover political spy assignments), I just went to look up a little info on his father. So many CIA operative types now being multi-generational spawn.
And I found this, just as I’d suspected:

Interesting post on Goldberg. Thanks.
His sexual orientation is listed as ‘straight.’
So is mine although I’m giving considerable thought to officially changing it to ‘normal.’
