  • 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: […]

  • Oh Sadist, Can You See

    David Cole - Dec 12th 2023 12:00am EST

    At Christmastime, I tend to gravitate toward lighter topics. Because why befoul such a wondrous season with ugliness? So on a lighter note, last week a BBC Kelsey Grammer interview went off the rails after the Frasier star was asked if he supports Donald Trump. Grammer said yes and then tried to redirect the interview […]

  • ‘Tis the Season…for Dave

    David Cole - Dec 4th 2023 2:06pm EST

    HAPPY DECEMBER! Here’s a new video. And I know…roughly 20 of you right now are saying “What? WHAT? The free content Substack I voluntarily subscribed to of my own volition is posting new free content? This shall not stand! I must UNSUBSCRIBE, as I am incurably retarded and do not understand the cause and effect […]

  • The Right’s Derek Chauvinism

    David Cole - Nov 28th 2023 12:00am EST

    Quick quiz: Who was Jerry Parr? Don’t Google it, that’s cheating! Without looking it up, do you know who he was? Odds are, you don’t. Jerry Parr was the Secret Service agent in charge of protecting Ronald Reagan on the day he was shot in 1981. When the gunfire began, Parr pushed Reagan into the […]

  • Sieg Nile! The Nazi/Muslim Question

    David Cole - Nov 21st 2023 12:57am EST

    I love it when the world catches up to Dave! Last week proved that my favorite obsessions can go mainstream (I look forward to the day when my newest fetish, “Never leave the house and drink yourself to death,” becomes what all the cool kids do). Two separate videos, both relating to Israel/Gaza, went viral. […]

  • Bunny Dreams and Abortion Nightmares

    David Cole - Nov 14th 2023 3:52am EST

    This week—a lesson from a “bunny.” You’re likely familiar with Twitchy, rightist aggregator of the left’s wild and wackiest tweets. Twitchy was founded by Old Granny Malkin (ever since Michelle Malkin tried to preserve her faded youth and relevance by hooking up with child Nazis, I can’t think of her without seeing the “let’s haul […]

  • The Abyss Gazas Back

    David Cole - Nov 6th 2023 11:52pm EST

    Enough with Gaza. I’ve done three columns in a row on Oygenflaygin vs. Akbar, and that’s plenty. If there’s one thing I despise about opinion columnists, it’s the fetish of covering the daily “big thing.” So this week’s column will be an in-depth examination of why the “Angels of Death” episode of the 1970s British […]

  • Halloween Bonus – The SPOOKIEST Film Ever Made!

    David Cole - Oct 31st 2023 5:21pm EDT

    Happy Halloween! If you’re looking for something spook-spook-spookifying to watch tonight, have I got a treat for you! In 2010 I had the honor of participating in the full restoration of Thomas Edison’s 1910 15-minute silent film masterpiece “Frankenstein.” To mark the movie’s centennial, we restored it with Edison’s original title cards. This is the […]

  • Wailing (at a) Wall

    David Cole - Oct 31st 2023 11:52am EDT

    I’ve no next of kin. When I die, I have no idea what’s gonna happen to my house. Not that I don’t have a plan: After I stroke out on my bedroom floor, my corpse will putrefy and the stank will be absorbed into the floorboards, so when Persians buy my house for a song, […]

  • A Hard-Drinkin’ Hebe’s Halloween Hijinks!

    David Cole - Oct 30th 2023 3:25pm EDT

    Okay, get ready to UNSUBSCRIBE because the free content account you signed up for is posting free content. UNTHUBTHCRIBE! UNTHUBTHCRIBE! Or, watch the video. Lord knows I don’t make money from this shit, so either way, it don’t bother me none. Speaking of which, BUY ME A BEER. BUY ME A BEER! Leave a comment […]

  • White Knighting for Middle East Unsalvageables

    David Cole - Oct 24th 2023 12:01am EDT

    So there used to be a self-described “gay Nazi chef” in Sacramento named Walter Mueller (or as I called him, Emeril Lagassechamber). Back in 2003, during my year off from life as I lived by the beach and did nothing but swim all day and drink all night, I’d monitor his website (out of boredom, […]

  • Even Daves Get the Blues

    David Cole - Oct 20th 2023 1:33pm EDT

    Just between us, I’m not a well man. My severe hypertension means I’m always just one episode of extreme annoyance away from a stroke. So I try not to get annoyed. Last year I went off my BP meds, because I missed having boners. And to my wondrous surprise, I found that I can totally […]

  • Revenge of the Goy Golems

    David Cole - Oct 17th 2023 4:12am EDT

    Told ya. From the beginning of the “Groyper movement” and the ascension of Nick Fuentes’ Nazibois, I’ve been warning rightists to be wary of those loons. My advice was rejected. Many times I had private convos with well-known MAGAs who told me, “Look, I know these guys are wacky when it comes to Jews, and […]

  • Sleuth and Consequences

    David Cole - Oct 10th 2023 12:00am EDT

    Regular readers know how much I detest rightist “sleuths.” As I wrote in 2020 (in a column Tucker Carlson got in trouble for sharing), “sleuthing” is the opposite of noticing. Noticing means acknowledging reality; sleuthing means promoting fantasy. As I said in the piece, “noticing assures voters ‘I see what you see.’ Sleuthing scolds them, […]

  • Yay, Halloween! Oy Vey, Auction!

    David Cole - Oct 5th 2023 4:06pm EDT

    Ol’ Dave always loses around a dozen subs the ONE TIME A MONTH he posts. So for those of you who are already screeching “What? I signed up for free content and now I’m getting it? I must UNSUBSCRIBE AT ONCE!” go ahead and do it. 95% of my readers are the smartest folks on […]

  • Rise of the Self-Tarded

    David Cole - Oct 3rd 2023 12:00am EDT

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman voice: “I have failed.” I have failed to beat sense into the Gomer Pyles of MAGA regarding Beverly Hills. I’ve shown election data. I’ve shown electoral maps. All to counter the patently false notion that BH is a leftist bastion. I’ve even tried appealing to MAGA self-interest, pointing out that north BH […]

  • GOP Jonahs Swallowed by Giant Bass

    David Cole - Sep 26th 2023 12:41am EDT

    The threat to men’s lives had him in a rage. A leader such as that would command fanatic loyalty. He would be difficult to defeat. Against his own will and all previous judgments, Kynes admitted to himself: I like this Duke. That’s from Frank Herbert’s Dune, and for those of you who don’t know the […]

  • The Hard Stuff

    David Cole - Sep 19th 2023 4:12am EDT

    I’m gonna start by talking about the porn girl I lived with, then segue into the actors’ strike and end on politics. Yep, ol’ Dave will deftly manipulate three balls at once. So, speaking of porn… For me, two years of living with a porn star were more than enough. Actually, one was more than […]

  • Meet the Foggers

    David Cole - Sep 12th 2023 12:00am EDT

    This’ll be the final entry in my “Fog Trilogy”; totally different topic next week, I promise! Last week’s column was about how/why rightists “fog themselves.” This week, let’s examine the professional foggers—the rightist superstars who get paid to fog. When people wonder why I’m always so hard on Ronny Unz, it’s because I find nothing […]
