The Golub Gambit

I"€™ve taken a lot of shots at Trump this election season, and there's really no need for me to pile on now. Hell, when your own VP admits that he's ashamed of you, c"€™mon…it doesn"€™t take ol"€™ Dave Cole to point out that there's trouble in River City. We know by now that there are ...

Afflicting the Comfortable

By and large, most professional journalists are more than willing to cop to errors. In the course of my work, I"€™ve been able to get Steve Handelsman, senior national White House and Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News, to admit that he misrepresented Paul Ryan's Medicare plan during the ...

Denial Is Dead

Holocaust denial is dead, but no one knows it. Worse, it appears as though no one wants to know. Not the media, not Jews, and especially not Jew-haters. But it's true. Denial has gone the way of the woolly mammoth. It exists these days as a bogeyman, a bugbear, an illusion in the minds of hardcore ...

The Aborted Birther

At long last, our traumatic national nightmare has finally come to a close, all thanks to Donald Trump, who last week loudly proclaimed to all who would hear that President Obama was indeed born in the U.S. Well, that's a relief! Trump not only cleared the beleaguered Obama of latent Kenyanism, he ...

“€˜Roast”€™ Writers: Ann Coulter Hurt Our Feelings!

The overall quality of Comedy Central's celebrity roasts might have declined measurably since the untimely death of Greg Giraldo (arguably the best roaster ever"€”sorry, Jeff Ross), but the quality of the network's marketing has never been better. In the case of the recent roast of actor Rob ...

The Ghost of Tina Kerbrat

"€œTrying to organize right-wingers is like herding cats!"€ During the years I ran the Republican Party Animals organization, I can"€™t even tally the number of times I was told that. Conservatives, from soft right to hard, like to use that line because, by comparing themselves to cats, they ...

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, ...
