  • How to Lose the Immigration Fight

    David Cole - Jul 17th 2025 10:59am EDT

    The worst thing about the “stollen 2020 election” claim becoming canon on the right is that it’s helped wash the soft-brains of MAGAs of any notion that there exists a political pendulum. The reality of that pendulum – the electorate swings right, then left, then right – has never been questioned, the same way cows […]

  • Aphrodisiac Dave!!! Nazi Babe Magnet

    David Cole - Jul 11th 2025 9:06am EDT

    Remember in 2022 when Trump’s favorite Naziboi Darren Beattie said of me, “He’s just an ugly dumb guy?” Well Trump’s own Justice Department just released a report claiming that I’m the female far-right’s most powerful aphrodisiac! “Ugly dumb guy,” eh? Turns out, Darren, that your Eva Braun cosplay wife masturbates to me nightly. I’m kidding […]

  • Z-Man’s R-Tards

    David Cole - Jul 7th 2025 5:52pm EDT

    Hope y’all had a wonderful July 4th! Me? I got drunk and watched fireworks. The Cheviot Hills fireworks — previously seen only from ground-level at my house, now viewed from above: Last week’s piece about Z Man, the late lamentable bearded faggon, made me the target of Z Man’s WHITE KNIGHT ARMY! A great irony. […]

  • The “Z Man” Story

    David Cole - Jun 30th 2025 2:10pm EDT

    Okay, this is just downright odd. Eerie, even. Thursday night I’m sitting in my hotel room thinkin’ of the next Substack to write. I try to alternate between my “homeless Dave” travelogues and matters of political or ideological import. And I sez to myself I sez, “one of the questions I was most frequently asked […]

  • Penthouse Dave!

    David Cole - Jun 27th 2025 6:33pm EDT

    A few updates and scattered musings. Meaning that many of you will unsubscribe. You unsubbers are a nutty breed. Back when I was writing for Taki’s, and I’d post something political here, you’d be like “why should I sub here when you’re posting the same stuff you do at Takimag?” But when I started chronicling […]

  • The FORBIDDEN Takimag Pieces!

    David Cole - Jun 23rd 2025 6:04pm EDT

    During the ten-plus years I wrote a weekly column for Takimag, and the five years I did The Week That Perished as well, there were a couple of times I was told to back off. Then in the final month of my tenure, April 2025, that “couple” became “many.” But let’s not get ahead of […]

  • “Operation Trespass” starring Dave Cole

    David Cole - Jun 20th 2025 3:34pm EDT

    Curiosity Killed the Kike On my way from filthy Santa Monica to my hotel back in my beloved Beverly Hills, it just so happened that I was going to have to pass by my house. Well, the house that used to be mine. I’ve been gone since May 31st, and curiosity got the better of […]

  • “Frownie Brownies and Attackie Blackies”

    David Cole - Jun 18th 2025 3:07pm EDT

    Okay, here we go! Time to run the pieces I had in the pipeline before my decade+ at Takimag ended. I submitted this piece on April 21st, a day before I told Taki that conditions had become such that I could no longer continue to write for him. But I made it clear I didn’t […]

  • Back in Beverly Hills! And a History Lesson

    David Cole - Jun 16th 2025 5:16pm EDT

    [NOTE TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS: In-between posting my unused Takimag pieces, and new political ramblings when I see fit, I’m also blogging my experience as a homeless guy living from hotel to Airbnb to hotel again, all my possessions in a duffel bag. If these posts don’t interest you, no need to unsub. Just don’t read […]

  • Dave on the Great L.A. Bean Riot of ’25

    David Cole - Jun 13th 2025 6:47pm EDT

    Look, I ain’t keen to write about politics. I have 14 weeks of Taki’s columns to release (things I’d already written before I left), so why the hell should I write anything new…for FREE. For FREE? What am I, Jesus or something? I spent 10+ years getting paid for this shit. These days I just […]

  • Homeless Dave…The Adventure Continues!

    David Cole - Jun 10th 2025 6:17am EDT

    So I left the fancy Larry Fishburne hotel, because nice as it was, it was expensive. Three nights was fine. Also, the sauteed spinach I got from room service as a side dish to my lobster bisque last night REALLY disagreed with me. Like, badly. Let’s just say the maid who opens the door to […]

  • If I Should Die Before I Wake…Blame Larry Fishburne

    David Cole - Jun 7th 2025 4:13am EDT

    This is just a brief update, so the people who are like “Unsubscribed! It’s too short!” are right now prepping to do so, their fat ugly little Down Syndrome faces beet red at the prospect of reading something too brief. One day I’d love to put the “it’s too short” people in the same room […]

  • Regrets…and Thanks

    David Cole - May 29th 2025 7:13pm EDT

    I want to thank you all for getting my GiveSendGo over the line. Nobody likes to admit weakness, but I kinda needed the lift. It’s been a less-than-good year, even though I try to live by the Norm Macdonald “ass cancer” standard of, “is blood pouring outta your ass? No? Then you’re okay.” And thankfully, […]

  • My Unused Takimag Content

    David Cole - May 26th 2025 2:15pm EDT

    Years ago I realized that the key to enjoying the Taki’s job was to write compulsively whenever the mood hit. Full columns, The Week That Perished, so that I’d never have to sweat a deadline. I COULD write something new on Friday (my column deadline was Sunday night), or I could just use one of […]

  • Duffel Dave

    David Cole - May 24th 2025 2:03pm EDT

    June 1st is my out date for my home now that escrow’s closed, so I’ve loaded everything I need into a duffel, as my plan is to vagabond around the Westside until I see whether my GiveSendGo for a new book and the republication of my first, banned book reaches its modest goal. If so, […]

  • David Cole: Book or No Book

    David Cole - May 23rd 2025 3:16pm EDT

    This will be the shortest post I’ve ever done. Which means I’ll get about 500 unsubs, because I know you guys, and when a post is too lengthy, you unsub. So I’m assuming you’ll do the same if it’s too short. “For what I’m payin’ to subscribe ($0), I wants me sum CONTENT!” This post […]

  • The Essential Cole

    David Cole - May 18th 2025 11:43am EDT

    Oh man, am I gonna get unsubs for this! A RERUN! For three years I’ve been bringing you new Substacks weekly monthly whenever the fuck I feel like it, but now, as I’ve been getting a flood of new subs post-Takimag, I feel the need to “curate” (as the kids say these days) the top […]

  • The Takimag Story, a Great Miscalculation, and a Mexican Wake-Up Call

    David Cole - May 5th 2025 10:27am EDT

    Many of you have asked why I’m no longer with Takimag, and as much as I’m a compulsive anecdotalist, I’ve decided to not discuss it publicly. The details don’t favor Takimag, but I can’t overlook that Taki gave me over ten years of gainful employment doing the only thing I love to do, the only […]

  • L.A. Bueno?

    David Cole - Apr 15th 2025 1:08am EDT

    Leftists and rightists alike refuse to understand L.A. Rightist dimwits like Ukrainian/Jewish podcaster Michael Malice, who claims “L.A. is the second Detroit,” and other rightist dimwits like this tard who claims “they lock their doors and windows in Compton because it’s all black,” live continually in 1992. And when I, who actually did live in […]

  • The Battle of Ape Bridge

    David Cole - Apr 8th 2025 12:00am EDT

    Did I ever tell you my favorite memory from the George Floyd riots of 2020? I live-tweeted about it at the time, but since my X account was nuked, I suppose I can tell the tale again here. To set the scene… I’ve written many times about Century City, the mega-wealthy neighborhood (like so much […]

  • The Third Worlding of the American Mind

    David Cole - Apr 1st 2025 1:10am EDT

    You know what I hate? Liberals! Ooooh, I hate ’em so much. Bet you do too. C’mon, shake your fist at ’em with me. C’mon, do it! Shake harder, boy; they’re still here! The thing I hate most about liberals is how dumb they are! Dumb, dumb, dumb, amirite? Like, did you hear, there’s this […]

  • Darryl Cooper Cites Me, Incites Me

    David Cole - Mar 25th 2025 1:50am EDT

    What do you do when your entire identity has been built around a “they” that’s oppressing you, but “they” don’t actually seem to be oppressing you? You’ve taken on “victim” as your identity, but you’re not being victimized enough. So you’re forced to live vicariously through “Hitler the victim.” Ah, Darryl Cooper again. My least […]

  • Home, Homeland on Deranged

    David Cole - Mar 18th 2025 7:31am EDT

    I’m gonna start this week’s column with a very disturbing piece of video. In 1985 two dumbasses in Reno, 20-year-old James Vance and 18-year-old Ray Belknap, got drunk and decided to blow their brains out with a shotgun. Hey, at least there wasn’t a TikTok to livestream it. Belknap did it right, sending what little […]

  • My New Column, My Worst Day

    David Cole - Mar 12th 2025 12:08pm EDT

    Here’s this week’s column. It’s personal and self-indulgent, like everything I write. But it does have import, at least to me (like everything I write). Link: Of Course Elon’s a Nazi Okay, I’m getting a TON of new followers but few new subscribers. You know, jerkasses, it’s subscribers, not followers, that help boost a Substack. […]

  • Of Course Elon’s a Nazi

    David Cole - Mar 11th 2025 1:27am EDT

    Friday, November 1st, 2024. I’m at home going through my nightly routine (trying but failing to muster the courage to pull the trigger) when I suddenly start to get dozens of texts from unknown numbers. The first one reads “Is this you? Fuck FUCK holy shit!” Another Thomas Sowell text? No, can’t be; I’ve got […]
