Wow, I inadvertently inspired a whole column! After reading it the imortal words of acting legend Roderick Toombs come to mind: "Don't throw rocks at someone holding a machine gun!" (If only the Pally Wallys had watched WWF growing up they would've learned that lesson).
Yep! I figured I'd let you be surprised instead of telling you in advance. But THANK YOU! I got a column I really enjoyed writing out of your tweet. Much appreciated! Honestly, I would've been just as happy having a pleasant back-and-forth with Ladd, but he wouldn't respond to any of my emails. His loss!
One day we are gonna wake up to a headline that says "President Trump was raped to death by Laura Loomer". When MAGA sends Trump it's people, they aren't sending thire best.
OTOH, Trump may be hoping for that sort of end. Going out on a golf course is "an old man's death" (even if it was by a shooting). But death by Loomer? Would be true to type.
Very good. I always get a laugh and manage to learn something too. It might just be one small fact, or I find that something I had previously learned was just plain wrong. History was never my best topic; I was a bit of a science geek. If you can still say "Grow a pair, douchebag.", you're probably not getting faggoty. And I'm older than you so you can't possibly be old because I'm not old.
Dave, hot off the Exploding Beepers plot I've just been tipped off to the next Israeli plot against Hezbolah: Exploding Blockbuster Video Membership Cards.
“[T]he MAGA golden rule: Be outrageous! Get views! Go viral; drive the libs NUTS! Because that’s the ultimate goal: your online stats. Not votes, not actually winning.”
That is the grift that so many online MAGA influencers are engaged in. Make money being outrageous during the campaign because they are too stupid, lazy, or crazy to land a job in the campaign or administration should their candidte actually win.
ICYMI there is a subtle, subliminal message in the video's URL !!!
Purdy Porn Girl, Kera, came from Hoggfuck NE, Hoggfuck is well known as the sister city of Burroblow Mexico .
If I were ever to be so lucky, as you were Dave, to have a young porn girl for a housemate, I'm afraid that could be a problem, I would likely have to Whip It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_QLzthSkfM
"I Want Yo' Cash, Bitch!" <-- I have my new ringtone. Thanks, Dave!
And I haven't seen video editing of that quality--random crap flying in all directions--since the last time my 10-year-old was goofing around on my computer.
"So we’d go out to nice clubs, places with live music…totally different scene from Hoggfuck NE, where the only live music was when the jug band would do meth and play Pop Goes the Weasel as old Clem danced a jig at Hootenanny Holler.
And the thing I found oddly charming about Kera was that because she’d never had any experience with music back home, everything she heard at the clubs was new to her. "
This is why "College Rock" happened in the 80s: you had all these Midwestern farm kids who heard nothing but polka and Top 40 until they got to their first semester at college in the big city, and a Husker Du record like, totally changed their LIFE, MAN! They should've all stayed back on the farm baling hay.
I have a friend from a similar background, but she's close to my age. Didn't the internet wipe out that kind of isolation when Kera was coming up, or was the "internet" still two tin cans strung by baling wire in that neck of the woods?
Internet? INTERNET? Dude, how "rural" have you ever gotten in the USA? When you get REALLY rural, teens smoke dope and fuck. That's ALL they do (and the boys skateboard when they can't get a fuckin'). And the really pretty girls get their dope FROM fucking. Kera had no interest in the 'net. Video games? Googling the history of naval warfare? Posting photos of a yummy dinner on IG? Kera lived life. I mean, you name it - meth, "bath salts," coke. By age 21 she'd snorted so much crap, her nose was always running. And sex? Why'd you think she got into porn? She'd be fucking anyway, why not get paid for it?
I'm not trying to run her down; she only did pot in my house, she was always in bed by 10pm, and I liked the fact she wasn't glued to her phone. She remained an outdoorswoman - hikes, ocean, etc. But she knew so little, from never interacting online and from spending half her schooling years in juvie - that I had to "teach" her like she was a kid. What are clouds? Why does it rain "up" in China? If the earth is "moving" why don't I feel it? Etc. It was a perfect match up for a natural "instructor" like me.
She was a good house-mate. I hadn't lived with a girl since 2003, by choice, and I'd gotten used to the blessed solitude. But she was easy to live with, and I like snapping myself out of ruts. I wished she'd have learned to take her shoes off in the house, but that woulda been like trying to train a cat to make scrambled eggs. She was a daughter of the soil. And man, did she prove that to my carpet every day.
"Dude, how "rural" have you ever gotten in the USA?" Pretty rural, but the Midwestern rural areas are a mystery to me. I never really got outside of Chicago when I lived there. They were from New England, not the Midwest, but I'm reminded of The Shaggs: dad forces them to play music when they hadn't heard any.
It happened in the 7th grade, when the teacher Mr. F___ said the Australia was founded as a "PENAL" colony, and that set Debbie and Kelly and Linda into a shrieking FIT of hysterical laughter right next to me, and suddenly the teacher Mr. F___ was in a rage, hollering and screaming at the girls, and I was simply STUNNED and SCARED by the intensity of the whole thing, first, because I didn´t get it, and second, because I was sort of small back then. And Debbie and Kelly and Linda were sent to the School Office. And for the rest of the 7th grade I couldn´t sit next to them without feeling like some kind of small little pervert coward, because later on, on the bus, LUANNA had to explain to me the difference between PENILE and PENAL, and I got a little squirmy later on just thinking about her lips saying "PENILE". So the word "PENAL" has this special significance for me, you see.
One of the problems is so many "Dad/Uncle/Grandpa liberated a death camp" stories. These people don't like it when you point out the death camps were shit down a year before Grandpa was in the area.
Exactly. In fact, that Ladd idiot has one of those stories. "My granddad saw it with his own eyes" is one of the main things that keeps Americans closed-minded to the labor camp/death camp difference. Like remember when Obama claimed his uncle "liberated Auschwitz?" He had to retract it a few days later after being reminded of a few basic historical facts. The Brits got Belsen, we got Dachau, Buchenwald, and a bunch of subsidiary labor camps. That's it!
I seem to be interacting (in physical life) with a lot of Jewish people. The 30-day opportunity to reactivate my Twitter account is finished in a couple days, I guess, and I still ain't feelin' it.
Dave - I finally read your substack on your holocaust work I understand your position better now, and it makes sense.
Amazing dude in 20's never went to college makes solid contribution to history. That, and you could drink a lot. Maybe some day you could describe how you got started, and what made you interested. My guess you saw some sloppy work by ADL and decided to look into it?
Yeah wikipedia is run by basement-dwelling nerds who gain power by arguing fine points of wiki-law 12 hours a day. There are other such stories of a person's wiki page being totally misleading.
Unfortunately, the "how I got started" question is well-answered in my (banned) autobiography! Hence why I keep looking for a new publisher. I'd love to have that stuff available again.
I don't get the MAGAs who are anti-Israel and antisemetic. Don't they know that Trump wants to be known as the most pro-Israel president in history? Trump's daughter and grandchildren are Jewish.
With the Dems split between the Jews and Palestians, it might be a good opportunity to pick up a few supporters with brains and money.
Regarding ‘Borrow Unavailable’, that might result from the Internet Archive’s legal dispute with Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Wiley, causing ‘[m]ore than 500,000 books [to] have been taken out of lending as a result of Hachette v. Internet Archive … including more than 1,300 banned and challenged books’ (https://help.archive.org/help/why-are-so-many-books-listed-as-borrow-unavailable-at-the-internet-archive/).
wrt your Tucker response article’s unfortunate lack of engagement, perhaps that resulted from the competition you were up against? Historians such as Niall Ferguson,[1] Victor Davis Hanson,[2] and Andrew Roberts[3] weighed in on issue as well as lesser luminaries like Brendan O’Neill,[4] Iain Hollingshead,[5] Andreas Koureas,[6] Mark Antonio Wright,[7] et al., and five of the listed were published earlier.
[1. 5/9/24. https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-history-and-anti-history ‘What we are dealing with … is the opposite of history: call it anti-history.’ And he writes despairingly in his penultimate paragraph in a way that might strike a chord: ‘It is surely the epitome of professional failure to have spent more than three decades writing, teaching, and speaking about these matters, and to have achieved so little that a nasty little Nazi apologist like Darryl Cooper can win an audience of millions.’]
These replies focus on the Churchill aspect. None of them deal with Höppner and the "humane" angle that Cooper distorted. I don't give a shit who's a "luminary" and who isn't. I left it to others to deal with the Churchill angle because I knew this would be ably handled elsewhere. My specialty is the Holocaust; Cooper specifically cribbed MY work. There is no comparing the links you plastered my comments section with to my work. Mine was a response nobody else did, because few else could.
I didn't mean to come off as angry; sorry if I did. My point was that the Churchill/Hitler good guy/bad guy or bad guy/good guy "he started it"/"no HE started it" thing has been debated even in "legit" circles since A.J.P. Taylor. My contribution to the matter, both in giving Cooper his "humane" angle and explaining in detail why/how he distorted it, is unique. I don't think my low engagement was from "competition," because that's not how political junkies are. They have unending appetites, and traffic many many sites per day. They like, they SEEK redundancy and recapitulation. I chalk my low engagement up to my continued toxicity, which frustrates me to no end. Trust me, friend, if I could convince myself that it was just a "glut" of Cooper responders at fault, I'd sleep better.
You were informative - thank you for those links. The way I see it though, focusing on the Churchill/Hitler beef doesn't offer much to explain, or to research about the Holocaust. Jews were murdered - by Hitler's thugs - for being Jews, and that has little to do with who was chief villain that started the war - It was Hitler, all right, and Churchill's name deserves to be "cleaned" at every turn-of-the-nuts. Yet, Cooper's "humane" idiocy (and Tucker's too) cannot be refuted by defending him.

I agree! We're both young 'uns!
Dave, hot off the Exploding Beepers plot I've just been tipped off to the next Israeli plot against Hezbolah: Exploding Blockbuster Video Membership Cards.
LOL!!!!!
Saw a couple of people make a good point that the fact all our electronic devices are made elsewhere makes America vulnerable to a similar attack.

LoL. I prefer to think of it as an "appreciation for nuance" ... 😉🙂

She was really pretty. Seems like a nice girlfriend to have for a while.
She was a good house-mate. I hadn't lived with a girl since 2003, by choice, and I'd gotten used to the blessed solitude. But she was easy to live with, and I like snapping myself out of ruts. I wished she'd have learned to take her shoes off in the house, but that woulda been like trying to train a cat to make scrambled eggs. She was a daughter of the soil. And man, did she prove that to my carpet every day.
LOL!! I've known some "rural" people like that 40 miles outside Manhattan! It's a mindset! Some of them never want to let any "new" info in!!
>"It was a perfect match up for a natural "instructor" like me."
Quincy be like: "I can teach her a couple thangs too, I'm the foot fuckin' master."
"Dude, how "rural" have you ever gotten in the USA?" Pretty rural, but the Midwestern rural areas are a mystery to me. I never really got outside of Chicago when I lived there. They were from New England, not the Midwest, but I'm reminded of The Shaggs: dad forces them to play music when they hadn't heard any.
I think it's "baling" Sonny!!
Duly corrected: I call it "bailing wire" because in my neck of the woods it's when yo' bitch wires you yo' bail money.
