Even waking up to this couldn’t tamp down my disgust that we have a racist sitting in the Oval Office. pic.twitter.com/gkgVMhdiBj

Movie director (A Few Good Men) and actor (All in the Family) Rob Reiner continues to rain thunder down upon Trump’s racist, restrictionist immigration policies from behind the guarded gates of the Malibu Colony, where he is a leader of local political efforts to keep Malibu’s population from growing.
A friend writes:
I looked up where in Malibu Reiner lives. Apparently the 90% white Malibu isn’t exclusive and guarded enough for Rob. He lives in the Malibu Colony: the gated community within Malibu. He has walls within walls within walls to protect his privacy.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Spend July at Rob Reiner’s Malibu home for $100,000
By LAUREN BEALE
MAR 12, 2015Rob Reiner, whose “All in the Family” role launched his stardom in the 1970s, is the latest landlord of note to put his Malibu beach house up for lease. For $100,000 you get July, and that’s a relative bargain. …
Set behind the gates of Malibu Colony, the 2,755-square-foot summer spot features beamed ceilings and skylights. There’s a family room with a fireplace, five bedrooms, six bathrooms and steps to the sand.
List of home values in the LA area:
Listed below are the priciest neighborhoods in Los Angeles and their median sale prices in 2017.
The Colony: $13 million
Trousdale: $9.3 million
Carbon Mesa: $8.587 million
Beverly Hills Gateway: $8.020 million
Malibu Cove Colony: $8 million
Beverly Hills Flats: $7.6 million
Malibu Road: $7.446 million
Serra Retreat: $6.35 million
Broad Beach: $3.85 million
Point Dume: $3.785 million
But don’t worry, Rob isn’t homeless when he’s renting out his weekend house in Malibu:
Mister Reiner continues to own a gated compound hidden behind high hedges and a towering wall of shrubbery in the Brentwood area that he’s owned since the early 1990s, when he picked it up for $4.75 million.
I edited the last slightly to make it even harder to find Reiner’s houses, because I’ve worried about celebrity safety ever since John Lennon would remark upon the irony of him living in The Dakota, which did not work out well.
But not everybody shares my concerns. In another tweet, Reiner sounds kind of like he’s issuing a casting call for a new, improved John Wilkes Booth:
Having a racist in the White House has brought things into sharp relief. We are engaged in the last battle of the Civil War. And the sooner he is gone the sooner the arc of morality in the universe will arrive at justice. God bless MLK.

“It’s like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln … except this time the President is the racist bad guy and the actor is the hero!”
And here’s a 2015 article in the Guardian mentioning Reiner’s name in passing:
Malibu’s celebrity homeowners try to block public beach use
Owners of beachfront mansions hire security guards to issue trespass notices as decades of public access to the California coast come under threat
Mr. Reiner draws a lot of water in this town, Lebowski.
I bet JPod rents it from him where he writes articles about Israel needing a larger border wall and its right to deport all dark skinned Jews back to Africa.
It surprises me that no one organises bussing in of a little diversity to Malibu.
Regularly.
Filming it would be even funnier. The residents' reactions would be priceless. You'd have to get a whole lot of bums there at once though, so they'd feel emboldened enough to not be intimidated by the security guards.
I'd love to see large pro homeless protests right out in front of Rob Reiner's beach place.
With a few specific exceptions most celebs, even A listers, are trivial to locate. They are protected by the same means all wealthy and notorious people are protected by in third world countries, i.e., walls and guards with guns.
One reason that celebs love places like Malibu is that those places do a good job of intimidating the casual loopy (but not dangerous) fan. The crazies are what the walls and guards are for. Really serious professional operators are something that celebs don’t worry about much, and don’t have to for the most part.
Heck with Google and a couple of other sources you can easily track down most of the K Street bag men and the goons who run the Chambers of Commerce. All of whom qualify as mortal enemies of America. And most assured they are far worse than a bearded old road apple like Meatwad.
God bless MLK
I wonder how many people in Rob Reiner’s neighborhood look anything like Martin Luther King?
Even waking up to this spectacular view from my gated compound far away from the Mexifornian favelas couldn’t tamp down my disgust that our political leadership is made up of exclusionary racists.
Ironic performance art?
His “browning of America” as the righteous belligerent in a civil race war does seem a little too on the nose…
Oohh… apocalyptic. Pre-teen-style apocalyptic, but still.
“Mission Accomplished” announcement soon, then?
At this point Rob Reiner is just f…ing with everybody, he is in the boundless over-reach phase of his lordship. Next he either ascends to divinity, or – if things don’t work out – the peasants show up with pitchforks, or worse….
I wonder how many people in Rob Reiner's neighborhood look anything like Martin Luther King?
Quincy Jones?

The really dangerous loonies often aren’t well organized enough mentally enough to do much intensive research into where somebody lives. So I try not to spread information easy enough to help some nut like the guy who shot John Lennon. For example, I’ll edit out the name of Manhattan building that a celebrity lives in, but keep the neighborhood.
Isn’t Section 8 designed to inject blacks into neighborhoods like this one?
BTW, I've never looked into how much administrative leeway is available in this Section 8 program. But considering what Obama did with AFFH, it seems like there must be some. Trump should really be using whatever power he has to reign in the Section 8 beast.
(Community/neighborhood approval would be a great step. Reiner could stop being such a hypocrite and vote for the diversity he claims to love.)
Why would you go out of your way to protect Reiner? Your cuckoldry is astounding.
It doesn't really matter if the nut ever viewed this blog, Steve will have contributed to an "alt-right climate of hate" similar to the right wing climate of hate in Dallas that forced a Communist defector to kill the Democrat President.
Regularly.
That would be a really funny stunt. Somebody could rent some twelve-passenger vans and shuttle bums from Skid Row to the beach. A small group of people could get hundreds of ‘em out there in just a few hours.
Filming it would be even funnier. The residents’ reactions would be priceless. You’d have to get a whole lot of bums there at once though, so they’d feel emboldened enough to not be intimidated by the security guards.
Hilarious!
How about the druggies kicked out of rehab. Give them some money and snacks and then drop them off for the day at the public beach access point in Malibu!
Still a Meathead.

What time did Rob wakeup?
One thing that Microsoft recently, inexplicably hobbled (because security? licensing? bandwidth?) is Bing’s formerly great “bird’s eye” map view aerial photography with which one could zoom in and out at oblique cardinal angles with unlimited height for quick acquisition. Now one is restricted to single resolution close-up views of fewer areas, Bing having disabled bird’s eye for many of their maps.
They used to sell books listing where all the stars lived.
https://www.amazon.com/Movieland-Directory-Addresses-Historical-1900-Present/dp/0786443375
Plus movie star houses have well publicized pedigrees – Reiner’s Brentwood house used to be Norman Lear’s and before that Paul Henreid’s and before that Henry Fonda’s.
It took me about 5 minutes of Googling to figure out where Reiner lived based on the abundant clues. (Convenient walking distance to both Brentwood Country Club AND Riviera!)
And then there is a website of movie star addresses that just gives it to you , which really takes the fun out of it.
so this is not exactly top secret information.
I always thought it was funny that (((Sorkin))) and (((Reiner))) wrote and produced A Few Good Men and came away with the impression that normal Americans would find Col. Jessup to be an irredeemable villain and accept Lt. Sam (((Weinberg))) as the Jiminy-Cricket on Tom Cruise’s shoulder, acting as his moral guide and conscience. Jessup’s henchman is Keifer Sutherland’s Lt. Kendrick, who is more or less any Jew’s fever dream of a Southerner as career military officer.
I imagine that neither ever knew personally the sort of American who would serve in the Marines nor who ever had, and how he would perceive Jessup’s code and emphasis on battle readiness. It stands as a sort or Rorschach test where the Jews who made the film think it means one thing, while lots of the people who view the film think it means something else.
I admit, at the time it came out, I didn't appreciate what they were up to with that film. Now, of course, I get it.
Are we sure that Rob Reiner isn’t engaging in some kind of elaborate put-on?
OT:
I think that this was the first big event of a momentous year in American history:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/fifty-years-ago-north-korea-captured-american-ship-and-nearly-started-nuclear-war-180967919/
I’d like to see ol’ Meathead’s reaction if a flotilla of Haitian boat people washed up on the shore of his private beach.
.
.
I think Steve probably doesn’t want to be the subject of an extended two minutes of hate in the unlikely but well deserved event that some foul fate should befall Meathead.
It doesn’t really matter if the nut ever viewed this blog, Steve will have contributed to an “alt-right climate of hate” similar to the right wing climate of hate in Dallas that forced a Communist defector to kill the Democrat President.
The (Media mafia) coverage, analysis of the President Kennedy assassination coupled with the same media mafia coverage of the 1968 Chicago Democrat convention was what pushed me at a very young age to simply notice that the "American" (yeah right) media was lying.
JFK was actually anti Communist in the early 1960s - JFK tried to have Fidel Castro removed, even assassinated.
A Leftist, Pro Castro Communist murders President Kennedy and Walter Cronkite and the entire Lib Left Jewish media goes on and on how Right Wing Conservatives in Dallas TX were to blame for creating a
Climate of hatred.
Lib Leftist Jewish media folks do this all the time - spread the meme that Conservative White people have supernatural powers to change, control the climate i.e.
Global Warming now called:
Climate Change
Neither the Big Lebowski nor Mel Gibson IRL came out the better after encounters with Malibu PD. I suggest your bum van drop them off a quarter mile from city limits.

01:25:59 Keep your ugly, f–king, gold-bricking ass out of my beach community.”

I don’t think it’s all that elaborate. I don’t think he likes Trump, obviously, but I don’t think he’s really crying himself to sleep at night about him either.
You could imagine someone saying something like “Man, it sure sucks that I have to spend my time banging these hot chicks all the time, when there are all those starving kids in Africa, but a man’s gotta go what a man’s gotta do!”. If someone said that, what would you think he was doing?
Obviously, if he was that upset about Trump, he wouldn’t have bothered to take a picture and then post it, would he? I think he’s just being a prick. Not too complicated.
Filming it would be even funnier. The residents' reactions would be priceless. You'd have to get a whole lot of bums there at once though, so they'd feel emboldened enough to not be intimidated by the security guards.
As you say, organisation and coordination are the keys. Preferably with drop off points close to Reinerland.
And give the happy diversers sandwich boards, placards and tee shirts declaring
“Rob loves us! And we love Rob Reiner !”
I’m afraid I miss the “irony” of Lennon living in the Dakota. Is this one of those imagined British irony things?
This. We need to figure out how to make our government punitively desegregate and integrate his neighborhood for a change.
Servants’ quarters in Malibu should be subject to ICE raids the same as any meat packing plant in Iowa.
Rob Reiner is also a key figure on the Committee to Investigate Russia, along with Bootimus Maximus.

“Arc of morality in the universe” is the the sort of phrase a man shrieks after the first net misses him, but before they tighten the straightjacket on him.
Yep, Archie had him pegged early on.
My sense of humor was exhausted back during “punch a Nazi.” I’m certain that in the second Trump term, or years later, that’s exactly what they’ll all be claiming. They imprisoned a diapered octogenarian (who was exonerated by an Israeli court!), but will insist that their calls to violence, genocidal hate, sedition, and slander were all a big not very funny joke. Remind me, are you allowed to joke about bombs in an airport? These people have been playing whatever angle is convenient and getting away with everything while working class people are crushed by Draconian and double standards.
A filet-mignon-head.
I have a great idea. Reiner should learn from Europe.
If Trump is building a wall to block migration by land, Reiner and neighbors can coordinate migration by sea. Have the Dreamers come by boat and land on the sands of Malibu. That can be his next movie. The Sands of Malibu, with some Mexican guy playing the Juan Wayne character.
Then, he can enjoy the great view of beachfront as millions of Third Worlders come wading ashore on boats and rafts. It will be wonderful as the storming of Normandy.
I imagine that neither ever knew personally the sort of American who would serve in the Marines nor who ever had, and how he would perceive Jessup's code and emphasis on battle readiness. It stands as a sort or Rorschach test where the Jews who made the film think it means one thing, while lots of the people who view the film think it means something else.
Funny or not, millions and millions of Americans, whether consciously or sub-consciously, came away from that film with exactly that impression. Even right-wingers love that movie.
I admit, at the time it came out, I didn’t appreciate what they were up to with that film. Now, of course, I get it.
I hope not — Postville was permanently destroyed (after the Mexicans, Obama sent in Somalis), and meanwhile almost every member of the huge scam, except for Rubashkin himself, successfully fled “persecution” to Israel.
Advocating for Reiner would be cuckoldry: protecting yourself from lawsuits is good sense and upholding the general order (vigilantism is bad no matter the victim) is citizenship.
An inspiring scene from Sands of Malibu.
I think it’s just that he was kind of “workers of the world unite” politically and yet he was living in an uber-luxurious, Gothic palace, where millions of tons of dirt from the excavation of what became Central Park kept its occupants cosseted in silence.
It's left-wing hypocrisy, the same thing we see from Bono, Al Gore and Rob Reiner.
They are. Neither are raided frequently enough to discourage either employers or employees.
Filming it would be even funnier. The residents' reactions would be priceless. You'd have to get a whole lot of bums there at once though, so they'd feel emboldened enough to not be intimidated by the security guards.
LOL
Hilarious!
How about the druggies kicked out of rehab. Give them some money and snacks and then drop them off for the day at the public beach access point in Malibu!
So this would kinda be the opposite of that--payback, really--by getting healthy bums and dropping them off at the doctors' natural habitat.
It’s only fair because Reiner didn’t actually put down “16XX Pxxxxxxxxxxx Ave.”
No, not like this one.
Hilarious!

There are a lot of rehab clinics in Malibu, perhaps along the lines of Tracey Ullman’s Some Kind of Therapy Clinic.

Sargent Barnes is another war-flick antagonist whose villainy consists of acting out a mostly sensible if brutal ethos. It’s hard to ignore that Barnes, like Col Jessup, is dedicated to his professional duties above all else and acts only to further the mission. To Oliver Stone’s credit, the moral ambiguity and complexity of the characters’ in Platoon seems very much intentional, unlike the one-dimensional cartoon character of Lt Kendrick, as you note, who serves as little more than a cheap foil.

Good idea, the CIA probably has analyists scouring web forums looking for clues about where potential targets might be located.

If memory serves, one of the big hospitals in Los Angeles got in trouble about ten years ago for sending discharges to Skid Row in taxis. Apparently if a patient looked like a bum, the staff would bundle him in a cab when they were finished treating him, and then tell the driver to roll him out when they got downtown. Maybe somebody’s disheveled-looking grandpa regained his senses and spilled the beans?
So this would kinda be the opposite of that–payback, really–by getting healthy bums and dropping them off at the doctors’ natural habitat.
Well, that ain’t irony.
It’s left-wing hypocrisy, the same thing we see from Bono, Al Gore and Rob Reiner.
He’s still in character after more than 45 years — what an actor — I can smell a ‘lifetime achievement award’ coming.

Niles Crane? or Rob Reiner?
Imagine: Man of the people living high on the hog.
My nephew is in the US Border Patrol, and for some while did undercover marine interdiction out of San Diego. When I asked what contraband they captured–it was people and drugs. They both traveled the same routes.
I wonder how many people in Rob Reiner's neighborhood look anything like Martin Luther King?
What gets to me is all these people talking about God. It seems so manipulative. But I’m not sure who they are trying to manipulate. Or why
I thought it was the Rosemary’s Baby thing, involving a VW Beetle at the same address.
Some self-awareness!
I was thinking five bedrooms and six bathrooms in 2,755 sq ft doesn’t strike me a palatial by any means. I’m sure it’s been a worthy investment.
Steve beat me to it…
Damn the taco trucks! Full speed ahead!
The crack of dawn, by the looks of it. I believe the shot points east towards greater Los Angeles. Is the hump on horizon right the Palos Verdes Peninsula?

I hated it - it was nothing like the summers in Laguna in earlier years. There was nothing to do, and, until I learned to drive in 1964, aged 16, nowhere to go. Why she changed venues like that I'll never understand.
$100,000 a month? I'd be surprised if she payed even a fiftieth of that.
I admit, at the time it came out, I didn't appreciate what they were up to with that film. Now, of course, I get it.
Looking back at the film with new eyes, it does really seem like an effort at what Jonathan Weisman might call (((Semitism))) doesn’t it?
Malibuites feel crowded. They typically have narrow houses with virtually no yards. Pacific Coast Highway is right out your front door. David Geffen was so rich that he ultimately bought up five houses or lots in a row on Billionaire Beach, but Reiner isn’t in that league.
In general, Malibu is a nightmare of bad town planning, but the people who own there don’t want it to change since its problems serve as justification for keeping the population strictly limited.
Looks like a DNA strand. Indeed, they're called "ribbon farms".

But there are no more arrogantly historically-ignorant poeople than these bastard stepchildren of Zapata. How dare a white Hispanic consider himself to be a completely different species than the brown ones? How dare you be racist to us? Has that ever not been the case for the entire history of the Spanish speaking New World?

What? I thought that Col Jessup was the hero of the movie.
Whoa, whoa, just hold on a minute. Even I know that Rob Reiner’s Dad was some kind of hotshot movie or TV guy too. What does she mean, “launched his stardom”? Carl Reiner was a big shot in that business; his son was just “the meathead”, and living up pretty well to his old moniker up to the present day, I must say. Kudos, as it were.
Anyway the fact that I know this and Steve Sailer hasn’t mentioned it is kind of triggering me right now. I will go back to teaching some slow-learner on a previous post about health care to calm myself down.
.
Stay out of Malibu, Sailer! Especially the golf courses!
To give Meathead some credit, he wasn't famous before All in the Family, and his brother and sister aren't famous at all, so I think Beale's sentence is accurate.
“Was it a millionaire who said, ‘Imagine no possessions?’”

Reiner got his start through nepotism. Without Carl he would not have had a career in show business. Study the films he’s directed: not once was he the most important creative force on the project

You’re saying it wasn’t his matinee idol good looks and rakish charm?
he is smart, charming and attractive in his own way–he’s talented but not an important director. He’s not an auteur
Israel has never even thought about depoting African Jews. In fact they have gone to great lengths to import them. It is the regular Africans that they deport.
I think part of Reiner’s problem is, rather than being mindful of the inherent dangers of appearing to embody a time-tested negative Jewish stereotype, he lean’s into it as if it’s a feature, rather than an inherent existential “bug.”
That is, he’s never learned the unwritten rule for effective persuasion of never going “Full Jew.” When he gets tired or excited, it seems to be his go-to behavior, and it’s never been pretty to look at.
He even wrecked at least one of his comedy movies doing just that. He allowed his proclivity for Jewish shmaltz to undermine the genre of the film, The Princess Bride, employing serial Jewish scene-chewer Billy Crystal to go “Full Jew” in a scene that effectively trashed the integrity of the entire movie! It could have been a great comedy, and Reiner trashed it for eternity. Because broad vaudeville level Jewish humor to disrupt an established genre is funny to Rob, even if it forces the audience out of the story, and fuck you. For me, it’s the major reason the film is a “cult classic,” instead of a Classic. Reiner, in an artistic sense, isn’t above “shitting where he eats,” because fuck you, that’s why.
In another glaring example, Note the Wasps suddenly, as if taken over by witches, engage in standard Jewish shmaltz, effectively taking the audience out of the scene. Again.
I would finally say to Reiner, while borrowing off of a classic comedy…
“Fat, dumb, and Jewey is no way to go through life, son.”

What better way to fight anti-Semitism than to act in ways that anti-Semites have long accused Jewish people of acting?
People like Rob Reiner are so safely insulated from the effects of the policies they advocate that I have to wonder if they’re eventually going to bring the whole thing down on us all? When he’s not pushing for an open door immigration policy, he’s pushing for a constitutional crisis by way of heightened tensions with another nuclear power. Do people like him (and the Clintons, McCains etc) , in their Forbidden City enclaves, eventually bring down all civilizations?

They saw that article in the NYT about Penelope Cruz being Hispanic just like them.
As much as I enjoy Steve’s Twitter feed, I’m starting to worry that he’s spending too much time there. Battles with Rob Reiner and John Podhoretz may be fun, but they’re junk food. The real stuff are the more substantive blog posts and articles.
Look what happened to Mickey Kaus. He was completely destroyed by Twitter. He spends all his time tweeting out inside-baseball stuff that is incomprehensible unless you take the time to call up the whole thread. He hardly ever posts anything longer than a tweet these days.
The best way to deal with Twitter, if you must use it at all, is to religiously delete all but the most recent 50 tweets. This does three things: (1) It reminds you that Twitter is ephemeral, (2) it discourages you from spending too much time crafting something that will be gone in a few days, and (3) it removes incriminating history that will come back to bite you someday when armies of autistic enemies decide to take you out.
I'm sure the $PLC or similar have some archiving software which will save all of a target's tweets, in fact I'd have thought there is such stuff in the public domain.
In the UK some Tory MP is currently being attacked because when he was a student of 21 with no idea of a career in politics, he suggested on social media that people on benefits should have vasectomies rather than babies.
I find even reading the stuff takes a lot of time. Social media is certainly addictive and that applies even to the high brow material.
What does one do?
His father also protected him after Reiners hardcore sense of entitlement provoked him to sexually assault Mary Tyler Moore. Consider how screwed up in the head you’d have to be, as a 14 year old, to believe that fondling the ass of the adult costar of a major sitcom, at her workplace, is “okay”?
And then laugh about it later?
You really have to be essentially off your rocker. There has to be something deeply wrong with you. If, as a teen, I went to my dads work and tried that, even at that time, I’d have to be out of my mind!
But to Rob and his dad, it’s hilarious getting the best of a shiksa! No matter what the pedigree, a shiksa’s a shiksa, am I right? Hello? Is this thing on?!
Lebowski might say that Rob Reiner passes a lot of water in Malibu. Too bad the genes got diluted, as his dad Carl was talented and a frequent guest on Johnny Carson.

5 bedrooms in ~2800 sq ft doesn’t sound that luxurious. Malibu is crazy expensive even for California.

These have to be AstroTurfed and it wouldn’t surprise me if Chuck and Marco were behind it themselves.
I really don’t wish this for Malibu, except that I also do, because of residents like Rob Reiner.
Filming it would be even funnier. The residents' reactions would be priceless. You'd have to get a whole lot of bums there at once though, so they'd feel emboldened enough to not be intimidated by the security guards.
The ultimate troll would be to crowd fund a rental of Reiner’s house and then relocate 3 dozen Guatemalan illegal aliens into the home (and a camera crew).
Think of the laughs. The smugness. The moral indignation. I would throw in $200. Maybe more.
Why would they do that? Also, it’s happened before that these groups showed poor discipline and loose leadership.
My guess is he was aware of the irony of having written the song “Imagine” while residing in one of the most exclusive buildings on the planet.

BTW, I’ve never looked into how much administrative leeway is available in this Section 8 program. But considering what Obama did with AFFH, it seems like there must be some. Trump should really be using whatever power he has to reign in the Section 8 beast.
(Community/neighborhood approval would be a great step. Reiner could stop being such a hypocrite and vote for the diversity he claims to love.)

That’s from last April saying he’d got another sign off. But I’ve read several like that over the last couple of years, so who knows when he can send the bulldozers in.
He bought the land in 2005.
No, Section 8 is for formerly conservative Orange, Ventura, San Bernadino and Riverside Counties.
Obvious question to Reiner:
Instead of a civil war, wouldn’t it be simpler, more polite, more decent, more just … to just separate?
He can live in his ever-browner nation, but people that don’t want to–want to just kind of live in the same old nation they grew up in–don’t have to. Win, win.
Would Reiner go for this? Why not? Of course, to ask is to answer. Reiner’s interest is not having diversity for himself–easily arranged by moving from Malibu! Rather it’s to harrass white gentiles–to make sure they can’t have a nation that they run, with their norms, that is comfortable for them to live in and prosper. Rubbing white gentiles faces in diversity is what is engaging Reiner’s passions here, nothing else.

I actually followed through the twitter of those guys. What enormous morons.
Meathead… All In the Family… Archie Bunker… wasn’t Archie Bunker modeled on the Jewish father of the producer, Norman Lear? But of course it targeted those dumb and prejudiced WASPs. Modern fiction technology then “programs” people to believe that what they see is reality.

And before you all kick off, Speight is an ancient Yorkshire gentry name, coat of arms and all. Contains no bagels.
re “Battles with Rob Reiner and John Podhoretz may be fun, but they’re junk food. The real stuff are the more substantive blog posts and articles.”
as much as you may think a Reiner or JPod is a mediocrity, u r wrong: JPod is a serious blogger/opinion maker. He actually has his own opinions, and defends them with gusto. Reiner may be a minor filmmaker, but that does not make him stupid. He’s extremely clever and has managed to endear himself to many conservatives, including Laura Ingraham. Just cuz u don’t like them …
One reason that celebs love places like Malibu is that those places do a good job of intimidating the casual loopy (but not dangerous) fan. The crazies are what the walls and guards are for. Really serious professional operators are something that celebs don't worry about much, and don't have to for the most part.
Anyone with a functional brain can find these buggers. Just look at Schumer where the Mexers showed up to raise hell at his home today. Same with Garcetti when the BLM gave him a warm welcome at his home.
Heck with Google and a couple of other sources you can easily track down most of the K Street bag men and the goons who run the Chambers of Commerce. All of whom qualify as mortal enemies of America. And most assured they are far worse than a bearded old road apple like Meatwad.
Below link to a photograph of a typical Pacific Coast Highway bus stop in Malibu, similar (but with only 1 bench) to the one just outside the gates of the Malibu Cove Colony, no doubt “sufficient” for the “brown” people who daily attend to the domestic needs of the Reiner household.

I still think a sitcom with Rob Reiner as a liberal version of Archie with his daughter dating a Trump supporter would be brilliant. Reiner may be an ass politically, but if you saw The Wolf of Wall Street you know he’s still a first rate comic actor.

Plus movie star houses have well publicized pedigrees - Reiner's Brentwood house used to be Norman Lear's and before that Paul Henreid's and before that Henry Fonda's.
It took me about 5 minutes of Googling to figure out where Reiner lived based on the abundant clues. (Convenient walking distance to both Brentwood Country Club AND Riviera!)
And then there is a website of movie star addresses that just gives it to you , which really takes the fun out of it.
so this is not exactly top secret information.

I imagine that neither ever knew personally the sort of American who would serve in the Marines nor who ever had, and how he would perceive Jessup's code and emphasis on battle readiness. It stands as a sort or Rorschach test where the Jews who made the film think it means one thing, while lots of the people who view the film think it means something else.
Exactly. I was in the Marines at the time, and after the first guy told us how great it was, a bunch of us went to see it in our dress blues. We cheered Jessup’s speech.

How long is every Jew’s worldview going to be about bubbe’s and zayde’s difficulties with the Tsar?
Does Rob Reiner think people have forgotten about the still ongoing Harvey Sweinstein sexual abuse scandal that has engulfed all of Hollywood? The guy lives and works in the most disgusting depraved cesspit and he actually thinks he still has moral high ground to stand on. Is he insane or just plain clueless?
It’s come to the point where anything the liberals oppose can be considered good for America, because they oppose everything that is good, and embrace everything that is bad for America and for everyone else but themselves.
That was the French colonial style. Everyone had to have his piece of the river– Mississippi, St Lawrence, etc– and the lots were barely a house wide, but a mile long.

It doesn't really matter if the nut ever viewed this blog, Steve will have contributed to an "alt-right climate of hate" similar to the right wing climate of hate in Dallas that forced a Communist defector to kill the Democrat President.
Agreed and very well said.
The (Media mafia) coverage, analysis of the President Kennedy assassination coupled with the same media mafia coverage of the 1968 Chicago Democrat convention was what pushed me at a very young age to simply notice that the “American” (yeah right) media was lying.
JFK was actually anti Communist in the early 1960s – JFK tried to have Fidel Castro removed, even assassinated.
A Leftist, Pro Castro Communist murders President Kennedy and Walter Cronkite and the entire Lib Left Jewish media goes on and on how Right Wing Conservatives in Dallas TX were to blame for creating a

Great idea. Someone should troll him by photo-shopping such a flotilla onto his serene photo and send it back to him. Maybe that view would lift his spirits.
Not all heroes wear capes
Rob Reiner being Carl’s son falls under the heading of “common knowledge”.
To give Meathead some credit, he wasn’t famous before All in the Family, and his brother and sister aren’t famous at all, so I think Beale’s sentence is accurate.
I hate to break this to you, but this sort of thing was funny 60 years ago. Plus, you are really overselling what happened by calling it sexual assault.
One thing that Microsoft recently, inexplicably hobbled (because security? licensing? bandwidth?) is Bing’s formerly great “bird’s eye” map view aerial photography with which one could zoom in and out at oblique cardinal angles with unlimited height for quick acquisition. Now one is restricted to single resolution close-up views of fewer areas, Bing having disabled bird’s eye for many of their maps.
The photo also tells us one of the reasons the area remains so desirable (despite being nothing more than a rather narrow beach hemmed in by a dangerous highway): that view is almost exactly the same one I would have seen if I had been so foolish as to get up at the crack of dawn in any year from 1960 to 67 when my grandmother would take a house for a month for the “benefit” of her many grandchildren at more or less that very spot.
I hated it – it was nothing like the summers in Laguna in earlier years. There was nothing to do, and, until I learned to drive in 1964, aged 16, nowhere to go. Why she changed venues like that I’ll never understand.
$100,000 a month? I’d be surprised if she payed even a fiftieth of that.

Rob Reiner hasn’t done much of note in recent decades, but from 1984-1992 he directed seven distinctive and decent movies in a row. This impressive winning streak caused him to be overrated for a time, but now his career is underrated.
Another illustration of how boomers were allowed to do whatever they wanted, and then they demanded that Gen X behave by new standards. The “Demon Child” movie fad ended with the start of the Millennials. Social Security, and so on.
“Listed below are the priciest neighborhoods in Los Angeles and their median sale prices in 2017.”
Ok, for the uninitiated, where are these SoCal neighborhoods (aside from the obvious places)? It seems as though Malibu is well represented, with four (or more?) neighborhoods, but what part of SoCal are the other neighborhoods? Guess Taluca Lake has seen better days since its not on the list. Did Bel Air make the list with any neighborhoods?
I mean, for Steve, many of these neighborhoods would appear to be fairly well known but for the rest of Americans, maybe not so much. So maybe a breakdown of these other SoCal neighborhoods would help put things in perspective.
Maybe Yonkers in Westchester County, NY.

It’s nothing like Family Ties. It’s the inverse of All In The Family.
You’re terrible at this.
Yep. After plundering the little people, they use their ill-gotten riches to hire private armies. The bad news is, they remain on as the Lords of the manor in the petty fiefdoms the society devolves into. Cf. Ancient Rome.
No. It’s designed to inject blacks into white, working class neighborhoods like the one depicted in “All In The Family” where Reiner’s fictional father-in-law lived.
Why?
Anything below the high tide line is federal property. As long as you stay on the wet sand, the security guards have no right to block you.
It would never occur to a WASP millionaire to even try to restrict long distance beach walkers.
(After all, nothing is more SWPL than a long distance beach walk.)
For instance, it is possible to walk the entire New Jersey shore, with the exception of Deal.
Deal is a the wealthy, predominantly Jewish enclave where the Kushners live. It was the only town which refused federal beach replenishment aid, mostly because they liked the fact that the broken beach (in some places the ocean smashes right up against the sea wall, with no beach) blocked beach walkers. They even passed a law that anyone swimming or wading off the Deal beaches had to be wearing a personal flotation device, to give the local police a pretext for harassing any fishermen or surfers “intruding” on what they insist, in defiance of all federal laws, is a “private” beach.
Thanks for the contents of your ass. It's been an education.
However much your beef is fictional or non-fictional, Deal, NJ has a population of 750 and its beach front is about 1 mile long. Household incomes therein average about 25% above New Jersey's mean and household size is about 15% below the New Jersey mean, so the per capita income is about 48% above New Jersey's mean. It's as affluent as you'd expect of a tiny professional-managerial class enclave. The Jews resident are largely Sephardic.

I’ve toyed with the idea of keeping a Dead To Me Now Thanks To Twitter list; of folks whose work I genuinely liked/admired until their toxic virtue-signaling on social media involuntarily triggered a loathing for them, that makes compartmentalizing their work separately from them an impossibility.
I know that this is one of the things level-headed, rational people insist they would never do. But I think most of them are lying; not maliciously, but who could have foreseen the toxic omnipresence of social media, or how catastrophically enstupidating its effects would be? (And, yes, the irony of “enstupidate” not being an actual word is not lost upon me.)
Anyway, jot down your own Dead To Me Now Thanks To Twitter list during an idle moment; you’d be surprised how easily, and quickly, the page fills up.
