David Horowitz, the ex-radical firebrand who spent the last 40 years of his life exposing the left’s lies, hypocrisies, and crimes, died on April 29 after a long battle with cancer. He was 86. A former Marxist intellectual and New Left insider who became one of the most prolific and pugilistic conservative writers of his time, Horowitz was many things: essayist, agitator, memoirist, mentor, and iconoclast. But above all, he was a political street fighter of the first order.

After last week’s election, playing along with the farce would have been a waste of everyone’s time and taxpayers’ money.

I’m not a Donald Trump fan. From the start, I’ve detested him as a candidate but believed wholeheartedly in his “greatness agenda.” America first? Count me in. Build the wall? By all means. Straighten out trade. Reassert the national interest. Put China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia in their place. Make NATO pay up. Sounds good. Let’s go! But let’s also not pretend.

One of the few worthwhile collections of H. L. Mencken’s newspaper writing, as it appeared originally in The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, and elsewhere, emerged in 1991 under the title The Impossible H.L. Mencken.

Joe Biden on Sunday dropped out of the presidential election, to the surprise of none but the truest of true believers. Biden delivered the news through a post on X, of all places, but promised to “speak to the nation later this week in more detail about my decision.” Notably, his letter made no mention of his successor.
