Oh, and by the way, Kamala Harris is best buddies with the owner of The Atlantic, Laurene Powell Jobs
Laurene Powell Jobs, the very deep-pocketed owner of The Atlantic, is an extremely close friend of Kamala Harris and a big supporter.
Surely that had nothing to do with the Atlantic’s publication of a poorly-sourced hit piece on Trump by Jeffrey Goldberg two weeks before Election Day. The allegations in the article have been denied by almost everyone involved except for Goldberg’s anonymous sources and the Trump-hater John Kelly.
Here’s some of the history of Powell Jobs and Harris:
Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, has been friends with the Democratic presidential nominee for years. In fact, these two powerful women are so close Harris has referred to Powell Jobs as part of her family.
In 2017, then-vice president Joe Biden swore in Harris as a U.S. senator, and right after the ceremony they posed for a photo in the Capitol with her family. Then she asked Biden to take a picture with her “extended family,” according to a report from The New York Times. Powell Jobs—one of the richest women in the world—was quick to jump in.
Powell Jobs and Harris have been friends for two decades, and she’s also made other “quiet” donations amounting to millions of dollars to an organization backing Harris, three people briefed on the gifts told The New York Times. Powell Jobs also allegedly played a “key role” in helping usher Biden out of the race, making room for Harris to step up.
There’s a great deal more at the link, but you get the idea.
Why am I not surprised? They’re all family, and the whole family ushered Joe Biden out the back door.
My big wonder now is, will Biden “step down” before January 20? My bet is he will, right after Kamala loses on Nov 5. That way she will be the nation’s first woman (and Indian) president. But like Roger Maris and his home run record, Kamala will always have an asterisk after her name in the history books.
The modern Democrat pary seems to be awash in money from such plutocrats, many of whom are idle, unaccomplished inheritors. This is the main reason they’re often able to outraise their Republican counterparts by significant margins.
Yesterday, somebody linked a picture of Laurene Powell Jobs hanging out with Ghislaine Maxwell. May have been a deep fake, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was real.
I think Joe will hang onto the presidency until his term ends, and he will pardon his son Hunter and, as an additional measure, his entire family, after the election.
Published and broadcast media, left-wing think tanks, and left-wing administrations are heavily populated by the same people. They rotate among positions, or their spouses do.
Look what we have here

She is – or was – buddy-buddy with Ghislaine Maxwell, too.
There’s a picture of them lounging together in this article about how shitty The Atlantic has become.
(Edited to add: Miguel got there first and better)
Our rulers, Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg, and Musk all seem a little “neurodivergent.” Maybe they always were, but I wonder if something isn’t wrong with Laurene too.
As a local guy, I have to say that the magazine took a wrong turn 20 years ago when it left Boston for Washington DC.
