Trolls and True Believers

I"€™ll just come right out and say it"€”in my column two weeks ago, in which I interviewed three well-known Trump diehards"€”I straight-out lied to my readers. But I am coming clean. One of my interview subjects, Margaret MacLennan, had recently left her position as director of Milo ...

Los Angeles

L.A.’s Dirty Little Brown Secret

Consider it one of this summer's most underreported stories. In what's described as "€œone of the largest civil rights indictments in L.A. history,"€ an old-school Mexican gang"€”one of the original Mexi gangs that date back to the pre"€“World War II era"€”ran a ruthless campaign to keep ...

My God, What if He Loses?

Last week was not a very good week for Donald Trump's poll numbers. In fact, I had several Trump diehards"€”not bloggers or pundits, just private nobodies who are friends of mine"€”tell me that these days they find themselves thinking the once unthinkable: Trump might lose. Trump's multiple ...

To Shame the White Man

Every time Western society is treated to another charmingly impish killing spree or terror attack at the hands of a Muslim, we"€™re told (by those guardians of all that's good and decent"€”leftist pundits and politicians) how important it is to safeguard the fragile feelings of those poor, ...

Enough With the Truthers Already!

In 2013, when I was "€œouted"€ for my Holocaust revisionist past, I understood that one of the unavoidable hassles of being forced to "€œrejoin"€ the revisionist fringe would be the flak I"€™d get for my pro-Israel views. Among revisionists, it's rather taken for granted that if you say ...

Punking the Haters

In a normal election year, it would be big news: one of the largest and most influential newspapers in the U.S. fooled by a small cadre of internet trolls into publishing a completely false piece about a GOP presidential candidate. In a normal election year, a story like that would dominate the ...

Mel Gibson

Race, Rape, Republicans, and Rehab

Mel Gibson is back, and that's bad news for the Jews! August 25th marks the release of Gibson's much-anticipated "€œcomeback"€ film, Blood Father, in which the former A-list, boffo-box-office romantic lead takes the Breaking Bad approach to mending a soiled image, portraying a gruff ...

Black Cop, Drunk Jew, White City

In my previous column, I mentioned, somewhat in passing, the importance of being aware of one's own biases. While the average human can never truly be bias-free, and keeping in mind that some biases are less unfounded than others, it's nevertheless helpful to be honest with ourselves about whatever ...

Confessions of a Neocon Assassin

During my years as a GOP organizer and activist, I never really gave the alt-right much thought. In my time, the establishment neocons I worked with faced an entirely different threat: the Ron Paul crowd. You remember them, right? They had that "€œrevolution/love"€ bumper-sticker thing going ...

Prom Night Trumpster Babies

I have to admit, I"€™ve never minded being the only Jew in a room full of anti-Semites. To be surrounded by people who sincerely believe you have preternatural inborn powers and abilities is actually quite the ego boost. When dealing with the segment of the alt-right that isn"€™t terribly fond ...
