The Gathering Fog (A Horror Story)

Recently I’ve been thinking about James Herbert’s 1975 book The Fog, which I read when it was first published (I’ve been a horror fan since childhood; as a kid there wasn’t a horror film or book I didn’t voraciously consume). The novel tells of a (spoiler alert) fog that warps the mind of ...

Exalted Failures Part II: Slow-Motion ‘Downfall’

This will conclude my apparent “Hitler Trilogy” (I say “apparent” because I didn’t plan it; it just kinda happened that way). I’ll lead off with a few observations from my youth. I realize that Ron Unz tells you that “the Jews” only invented the Holocaust in the 1970s because by ...

Exalted Failures Part I: Führer Furor

Hitlers, I get Hitlers. Lotsa hubbub following last week’s column about the far-right’s Hitler fetish. Nick Fuentes stopped pleasuring himself to videos of Ali Alexander curb-crawling a Boy Scout fun-run just long enough to wail on Telegram about how mean ol’ Cole THE JEW defamed the ...

C’mon, Republicans, Let’s Get Hitlerized!

Simply everyone’s talkin’ about Hitler! Let’s join the fun. Remember in 2015, when leftists called Trump a Nazi and we were like, “Nice try! You called Romney a Nazi! You called McCain a Nazi! Everyone’s a Nazi to you.” Yeah, those were fun times. Until we got actual Nazis. Richard ...

The Curse of the Checkersuckers

Yes, another parable! You guys liked the burning balcony one so much, I’m doin’ it again. In Paul Schrader’s 1978 film Blue Collar, there’s a scene in which Richard Pryor confronts two checkered-suit-wearing pension-fund-thieving UAW goons. In the theatrical cut, he calls them ...

The Right’s Ideological Dysgenics

I don’t care much for Ron Unz. While I certainly appreciate anyone who publishes "forbidden" content, I do feel quite vehemently that Unz is emblematic of a major problem facing the right. Like most Californians, I knew Unz as a failed politician and successful businessman who, in the 1990s, ...

Covid’s Original Sins

At the request of those who think the Covid origin lab leak theory is “settled,” here’s the response you asked for. All studies/articles mentioned are linked. If this topic matters to you, read the links, don’t just rely on my overview. Recap Animal-to-human spillover would be the ...

Washed-Up Parabolic

Life is full of surprises. Two weeks ago, a professor from Ben-Gurion University publicly called me out on Twitter. That’s not surprising; I expect Jewish academics to dislike me. I have a rep, justified or not (spoiler alert: not). The surprising part was that the prof was angry that I’d yet ...

Breitbart’s Frog of War

I was gonna do a piece about Covid’s origin, as it’s been in the news again and readers have asked me to address it, but I’m putting it off for a week. Because the Pedro Gonzalez thing is stuck in my craw. Disclaimer: I have no idea where my “craw” is, but if it’s where I assume, ...

Subpar Thinkers Implode in Coinci-density

Readers often ask, “Dave, why you always pickin’ on the right?” Nick Land, a rather well-known bloke, commented back in January: “Cole’s basic, consistent thesis is that the Left is just way better at politics than the Right. It’s not that he’s wrong, but if he’s right, can ...
