Shirkling the Drain

“Circling the drain.” It’s a phrase I first heard in a non-plumbing context when a doctor said it in reference to my elderly father’s condition. It basically means dying, but not yet dead. The end seems certain, but the patient clings to life. It’s a terribly brutal phrase to use ...

Third Reicher’s Island

Continuing with last week’s theme—the decennial of my “outing”—let’s talk about the Holocaust. Because I’m never going to be allowed to not talk about it. Lord knows I’ve tried. I stopped speaking about it publicly after 1995. Returning from a monthlong gig at Waseda University in ...

Thank You for Your Disservice

Christians and Jews have had their Holy Week; now it’s my turn. Ten years ago, April 20, 2013, I was “outed” as David Cole. April 20, as you likely know, is a loaded date—the birthday of a terrible, terrible man. But enough about George Takei. The outing’s the reason you’re reading ...

Pyromaganacs

Dave: “Let’s talk about Doug Mackey, the guy convicted of posting memes!” Readers: “Oh crap, I bet Dave’s gonna be contrarian and scolding, like a broken fucking record.” Dear readers, you shouldn’t cuss so much. That said, maybe I am becoming a tad predictable. So before I started ...

The Genocide Strikes Back

That tranny genocide is something, huh? It’s like the Yakov Smirnoff of genocides: “In Trannyland, genocide victims kill you!” In light of last week’s Christian school massacre, I wanna revisit something I wrote a year ago regarding female influence in trannyism. I pointed out that ...

Storming of the Capitol

I’m Sick of the 6th (Why Aren’t You?)

Here’s a brainteaser: Was Samuel Byck a would-be assassin? To refresh your memory, here’s his story: Sam Byck was a miserable failure. Born to a Philadelphia Jewish family, Byck was the child they didn’t brag about. A failure at business, a failure at marriage, a failure at life in ...

A Smear of Cole, a Schmear of Truth

As a schoolkid, Media Matters scribe Eric Hananoki was the Asian student in no danger of throwing off the curve. With a face that screams “Godzilla is attacking the city; we must run!” Hananoki-san has the cushiest job ever: He watches TV for material to cancel rightists. And last week ...

Little Miss Information

Dear Biden administration: Please treat us like China. In 2020 I contacted Michael Posner (Obama’s Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor) with a simple question: Ten years on, do you have any proof that your China strategy worked? See, back in 2010, Posner hatched ...

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Trumpbart Primary

I was gonna open this column with “One of the questions I’m frequently asked about the Holocaust,” but that would’ve been dishonest. I’m never asked questions about the Holocaust. Oh, I hear from Holocaust deniers. Lots of ’em. But they never ask questions; they just issue idiotic ...

James O'Keefe

The Night Baby Put Herself in a Corner

In recent months I’ve written several pieces that mention my Friends of Abe years. It’s pure coincidence; stories in the news that piqued my interest just happened to contain angles that relate to my time with the “secret” org of Hollywood conservatives. I’m not trying to be ...
