  • The Week That Perished, Sunday – April 28

    David Cole - Apr 28th 2024 11:16am EDT

    The lead story in today’s Week That Perished concerns the tram ride accident at Universal Studios, Hollywood. It’s actually become a controversial topic around here. Universal is accused of downplaying the severity of the injuries, and, indeed, compliant news orgs are no longer mentioning the many injuries (including one critical) that resulted. Universal draws a […]

  • Three Things a Week From Ol’ Dave…How’s That Sound?

    David Cole - Apr 26th 2024 11:07am EDT

    So I’m tryna get into a Substack groove here, and it seems to me that the best pattern I can fall into is to post three times a week: The Week That Perished on Sunday (with added commentary to sweeten the deal for my kind, generous Substack subscribers), my regular column on Tuesday (ditto with […]

  • This Week’s Column: Burning for the FACTS!

    David Cole - Apr 23rd 2024 11:03am EDT

    Hey Folks, Trying to make up for lost Twitter traffic, I’ll be sending out my weekly Takimag column here. If that doesn’t suit you, if you think that’s one email too many from ol’ Dave, go ahead and unsub now, because it’s gonna be a regular deal from now on. To make it less rote, […]

  • The Right’s Burnt Offerings

    David Cole - Apr 23rd 2024 4:34am EDT

    In a column last December, I pointed out that whenever some schizo shoots up a place, and it’s revealed that he left a trail of “red flags” behind, rightists indignantly say, “Hmmph, why wasn’t the FBI on top of that? The crooked politicized FBI is so busy harassing Trump and the J6 peaceful protesters, they […]

  • Elon’s Coddled, Swaddled Nazis

    David Cole - Apr 16th 2024 12:00am EDT

    To get the formalities out of the way, yes, I was perma-banned from Twitter by the “free speech” Musk regime. And I gotta say, I’d come to really like many of my followers, so please remain in touch on Substack (it’s free, you cheapskates). Why’d I get banned? A tale old as the hills: A […]

  • Dave Open Thread!

    David Cole - Apr 15th 2024 6:19pm EDT

    I’ve been meaning to do another video, and I will, real soon! There’s much to tell. Crippling gout in both feet – the main reason I’ve been so sluggish the past two months. And a giant rat named Ratibor hiding under my washer/dryer. Here he is, scurrying away after briefly getting caught in the no-man’s […]

  • Funny as a Crutch, or a Wheelchair

    David Cole - Apr 9th 2024 12:00am EDT

    Yes, for those who are asking, Elon nuked me from Twitter. Perma-ban—irreversible. Yes, it involved the Holocaust. But let’s talk about that next week, okay? Because a great man died last week, and I’d like to honor him. And recall the time I stalked him. Joe Flaherty was improv comedy. As Dan Aykroyd stated in […]

  • Dining Nazis, Whining Jews

    David Cole - Apr 2nd 2024 2:37am EDT

    I’ve done three straight weeks of politics, so let’s lighten the mood with the Holocaust. Wait, that came out wrong. I mean, let’s lighten the mood with Hollywood. And the Holocaust. Readers have asked for my opinion of The Zone of Interest, this year’s Best Foreign Film (it was also nominated for Best Picture, a […]

  • Tucker the Spear Chucker

    David Cole - Mar 26th 2024 4:04am EDT

    Race sentimentalism is a favorite topic of mine. Having attended majority-black L.A. public schools in the 1980s, and having lived the best years of my life while doing so, I myself am prone to sentimentalism regarding black/white relations, especially after a few drinks (i.e., every waking moment of my day). Whether it’s mainstream conservative sentimentality—“blacks […]

  • How the Hard Right Could Lose an Easy Win

    David Cole - Mar 19th 2024 3:48am EDT

    One more Super Tuesday piece. George Gascon, the Soros-backed mass-murdering district attorney, was up against a slew of candidates looking to take him down. Gascon had to get over 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff in our “top two” primary system, and the friend to all rapists and murderers didn’t even come […]

  • Primarily Speaking: Notes From L.A.

    David Cole - Mar 12th 2024 12:00am EDT

    Congratulations, MAGA. You got your Biden/Trump rematch. Just so you know, us opinion journalists were hoping for a long, eventful primary…because we need material. As Eric Swalwell laments to his Chinese concubines, it wasn’t supposed to climax this quick. But climax it has, and only the fanatics are pleased. The “god-king Trump” MAGAs on one […]

  • Immolate to the Party

    David Cole - Mar 5th 2024 12:00am EST

    Last week, murdered college student Laken Riley trended on Twitter, with conservatives pointing out, correctly, that Biden hadn’t said a word about the young life that was violently taken by one of his beloved illegals. Author/strategist Ryan James Girdusky tweeted, “If only people went to the streets to demand change in the name of Laken […]

  • Lyle, Lyle, Crock of Guile

    David Cole - Feb 27th 2024 12:00am EST

    “Amaani Lyle” sounds like a shady dude who lurks in the darkest corners of Times Square selling cheap knockoff suits. “Psst…hey, mister, you wanna designer suit for only $30? Check out my man Lyle! He got so many expensive brands, we call him ‘Amaani Lyle.’” “Shouldn’t that be Armani Lyle?” “Naw, dude, Amaani suits are […]

  • “Experts” Part II: The Dementia Guardrail Paradox

    David Cole - Feb 20th 2024 12:00am EST

    I grew up with a healthy skepticism of doctors. As anyone who knows the Cole origin story is aware, my biological father was the Beverly Hills surgeon/personal physician to the stars who’s accused of killing Elvis by getting him hooked on drugs and feeding his habit. Dr. Cole absolutely was a pusher, and Elvis wasn’t […]

  • “Experts” Part I: Water on the Brain

    David Cole - Feb 13th 2024 12:00am EST

    As I write this, L.A.’s in the middle of a weeklong superstorm of biblical proportions. We’re being pounded harder than Lauren Boebert on a first date. Twelve inches in one night, which breaks L.A.’s record (though not Boebert’s). Remember the merciless September 2022 SoCal heat wave, when every red-state rightist gyuck-gyucker tweeted “L.A. can’t keep […]

  • Cartoon Gun, Real Bullet

    David Cole - Feb 6th 2024 12:00am EST

    A common 1940s Looney Tunes running gag was a dude saying, “Now I’ve seen everything,” then shooting himself in the head. The idea was that once you’ve “seen all there is to see,” you blow your brains out. I’ve known a few suicides in my time, and that’s never been the cause. It’s usually crippling […]

  • Psychos and Psyops

    David Cole - Jan 30th 2024 12:00am EST

    Can I call ’em or what? From September 2023: “The GOP is lucky as hell that Dems haven’t realized just how unstoppable a ‘1994 Democrat’ would be today, especially in city and state elections.” By “1994 Democrat” I meant a Dem who’s tough on crime, against open borders, and not into the tranny shit (which […]

  • The Final Solution to the Rightist Problem

    David Cole - Jan 23rd 2024 12:00am EST

    1991–1994: the heyday of “Holocaust revisionism” in America, with four major national TV shows (60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Montel Williams, Phil Donahue) giving “revisionists” coverage. I had the unfortunate distinction of being the only dude to appear on all four programs. During every show, my colleagues and I would face a simple question, usually from […]

  • “Screw the Jews” Might Bring Bad News

    David Cole - Jan 16th 2024 12:00am EST

    Last week we talked about overcorrection. This week, let’s see how the right’s gonna use that shotgun to blow off its remaining toes. As I pointed out last year, the GOP goes into 2024 with several strikes against it, at a time when, under different circumstances, the election would be a cinch considering the massive […]

  • The Putz and the Pendulum

    David Cole - Jan 9th 2024 12:00am EST

    My 2023 word of the year was “intractable”—problems that aren’t going away. Dysgenic black America, the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Every proposed “final solution” is a fantasy (“national divorce!” “White homeland!” “Two-State!” “From the river to the sea!”). So now I present 2024’s word of the year: overcorrection. In short, overcorrection is when something requires remedy, but […]

  • Year-End Cleanup, Part II

    David Cole - Jan 2nd 2024 12:00am EST

    As we ring in 2024, here’s Part II of my annual “bits that didn’t merit a full column but I still want to get them off my chest” year-end rant. Santos and Sinners A prediction: George Santos will become the J6 of 2024. Rightists will once again allow themselves to be maneuvered into not just […]

  • Year-End Cleanup, Part I

    David Cole - Dec 26th 2023 2:15am EST

    I usually take it easy on myself for my Christmas and New Year’s pieces by penning less labor-intensive columns. In part because I love the season too much to get bogged down by weighty matters, and in part because I assume that my readers are too busy with family and friends to want anything heavy. […]

  • Calvin and Hobbled

    David Cole - Dec 19th 2023 4:58am EST

    Here’s a little secret regarding opinion pieces: It’s all about “angle.” You look at something in the news, and you find an interesting angle for your readers. Case in point: the recent L.A. freeway fire that crippled the I-10 Downtown. As there’d been a homeless encampment under that stretch, the angle for conservatives was obvious: […]
