David Cole

Former GOP operative David Cole is the author of Republican Party Animal (Feral House, 2014). He’s been profiled by CBS News, The New Yorker, and The Guardian for his work as a Holocaust researcher. His book is currently banned by Amazon, but he survives (for the moment) on Twitter.

Elon’s Coddled, Swaddled Nazis

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 ...

Funny as a Crutch, or a Wheelchair

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. ...

Dining Nazis, Whining Jews

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 ...

Tucker the Spear Chucker

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 ...

How the Hard Right Could Lose an Easy Win

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 ...

Primarily Speaking: Notes From L.A.

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 ...

Immolate to the Party

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 ...

Lyle, Lyle, Crock of Guile

“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 ...

“Experts” Part II: The Dementia Guardrail Paradox

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 ...

“Experts” Part I: Water on the Brain

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, ...
