He was MAGA before there was a MAGA. In the weeks before David Horowitz’s passing, he wrote an article and finished another book. In and out of the hospital, he would call me on the phone to relay another idea for a series or another article about the Left. When we worked together on an article about the leftist fifth column, he was exhausted and I told him we could work on it next week. There would be time. He sighed skeptically, knowing perhaps what we only know now, but also with a note of relief. I was wrong. He...

"It is the certainty of death that finally makes a life acceptable"“As my own death approaches, I weigh the life I have lived against what it might have been. I ask myself: Could I have been wiser? Could I have done more? When I look at my life this way from the end, I can take satisfaction that I mostly gave it my all and did what I could… It is the certainty of death that finally makes a life acceptable. When we live as fully as we can, what room is left for regret?” David Horowitz, Mortality & Faith:...

The world will not soon see a man like David Horowitz again.. One of the great Americans of our age, David Horowitz, died on Tuesday at the age of 86. David Horowitz was one of the towering intellects and most perceptive thinkers of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first; he was also a man of unusual courage and remarkable vision. Though few people today realize it, David Horowitz was also one of the most influential people of our time, as he was one of the first leftists of any prominence to leave the leftist ranks and become a stalwart...

On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very saddened to announce the passing of the Center’s founder, David Horowitz. After a lengthy battle with cancer, David passed yesterday at the age of 86. The Freedom Center’s founder and guiding force was a relentless conservative warrior who survived a previous brush with death (chronicled in his book Mortality and Faith), confrontations with the Black Panthers, campus radicals, government investigations, death threats, and hate campaigns, some led by his former friends and allies, without ever considering giving up or letting up. Nothing short of the end that comes for...

Much to the chagrin of the media, Bruce Swartz, “globally renowned for representing the Justice Department in some of its most sensitive foreign dealings,” resigned rather than accept a demotion by President Trump. For 30 years, “careerist” Bruce Swartz quietly worked to advance Democratic interests on one hot button case after another, but if Special Presidential Envoy Ric Grenell has his way, Swartz will be prosecuted for intrigue few even know about. “Bruce Schwartz (sic) undermined Donald Trump and US foreign policy while he worked at DoJ,” Grenell tweeted on March 15. “I told him private information about negotiations (he...

Daniel Penny landed a cushy job at a powerhouse Silicon Valley venture capital firm less than two months after he was acquitted in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. The Marine veteran was hired by Andreesen Horowitz to work in Manhattan as a deal partner on the firm’s American Dynamism team, which invests in government and defense tech, according to the company’s website. Penny was lauded for his “courage” in an internal memo sent to all employees Tuesday afternoon. “I believe, as I know many of you do, that Daniel acted with courage in a tough situation,” David Ulevitch,...

When Attorney General William Barr stated "spying did occur" against the 2016 Trump campaign, most attention was focused on the FBI's surveillance of former junior foreign policy aide Carter Page. But the spying Barr was thinking of, and which he said may or may not have been legally authorized, is more likely to be that carried out by Stefan Halper, a former Republican operative and White House aide who became a foreign policy academic with close ties to both American and British intelligence. One could be forgiven for believing Halper was a creation of the spy novelist John Le Carré....

Here are my thoughts on the speaker's fight: 1) Yes, we certainly want to hit the ground running, but running towards what? Nothing more than tax cuts and nothing else like every other GOP admin? Let's first nail down some commitments. 2) There is a two week lag time between Congress convening and Trump being inaugurated so there is some time to sort this out. Again, at a minimum, Johnson should be forced to make some commitments. Remember, this is already someone who has not only betrayed us on every must-pass bill, but gratuitously gave the left what they wanted...

It’s going to be awkward at FBI headquarters next month when President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the bureau likely takes over. *** Patel has promised to “clean house” at the Hoover Building, and hold all those who “abused their power” during the Russiagate “witch hunt” accountable. He might start with the officials and agents who secretly vacuumed up his phone records and emails starting in late 2017, when he led a House Intelligence Committee investigation into the FBI’s reliance on Hillary Clinton’s false opposition research to surveil a Trump campaign official as a supposed “Russian agent.” According to a...

"I'm not in a position to to say that both because it's in draft form and we have not gone through the classification review. And so I need to be careful," he said. U.S. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Wednesday would not say how many U.S. government confidential human sources were among the protestors during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, when pressed on the matter by a lawmaker on Wednesday. Horowitz was asked if he has evidence of the number of confidential human sources that were operating on the Capitol grounds on January 6th. In response,...

David Horowitz (Radical Son) recently turned 85 and marked the milestone in fine style: I am touched by today’s tributes and only wish our great country could share my joys and satisfactions. Instead, it is besieged by the forces of darkness and hate with such ferocity and ignorance that it is unclear whether this free and generous land as we have known it will survive. The [David Horowitz] Freedom Center is a unique institution with a unique mission. It was founded in 1988 by two ex-radicals who were alarmed by the way American conservatives and patriots underestimated the malice of...

Last year 70,000 Americans lost their lives to Communist China’s genocidal fentanyl offensive. To put that into perspective, we have already lost more innocent Americans to China’s unconventional warfare than we lost soldiers to Hitler in the entire course of World War II. Similarly, if one were to consider the 1,000,000 American deaths caused by COVID19, a biological weapon made in China’s military lab in Wuhan, one would begin to get an idea of the scope of China’s unconventional warfare efforts to bring America to its knees.If one were to add the complicity of the Biden White House in insuring...

Now is the moment in history to apply Justice Robert Jackson’s famous adage, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” Except, in the context of the Supreme Court in effect declaring an open border invasion on Texas, the Constitution is on our side. The court and the Biden administration are abrogating the charter, which is why Texas must ignore both of them, protect its people, and follow the Constitution. Texas is experiencing an invasion of several million people per year coming from 150 countries. The Compact Clause in Article I, section 10 states clearly, “No State shall, without the Consent...

The book buying public may be snapping up copies of David Horowitz’s newest book: Final Battle: The Next Election Could be the Last, but the media’s cultural gatekeepers are doing their best to prevent more people from buying it. A shameful case of suppression of conservative thought is underway. Mark Tapson writes at Front Page Magazine (https://www.frontpagemag.com/media-boycott-of-david-horowitzs-final-battle/): "It is the number one best-selling political book in the nation as recorded on Amazon’s best-seller list. For three months it has been the number one best-seller in Amazon’s “Elections” category, topping such powerhouse books as Alan Dershowitz’s Get Trump and Florida Governor...

[See David Horowitz’s interview on Dr. Harper’s Rumble Channel: HERE. Order his new bestseller ‘Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last’: HERE.]Dear YouTube Censors,I am the author interviewed on February 22 by Dr. Anthony Harper, White House Correspondent for the Intermountain Christian News, which you removed from YouTube because of alleged “misinformation” claiming that voting irregularities during the 2020 election altered the result. You went further in your censorial zeal by holding Dr. Harper responsible for my alleged sins, imposing a 90-day ban on his broadcasts and threatening him with permanent removal if he has the temerity to...

John Durham wants to use internal instant messages from an FBI analyst embroiled in the Hunter Biden saga in his trial against Christopher Steele’s main dossier source, Igor Danchenko. Danchenko, a Russian-born, U.S.-based lawyer, was charged by Durham last year with five counts tied to alleged lies he told the bureau about the Trump dossier, and he has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers revealed Thursday some of what Durham plans to use in the October trial, including Microsoft Lync chats from a bureau analyst who interviewed the Russian national in 2017 and went on to get mixed up in the...

According to attorney Mike Davis, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland just ordered that no members of the DOJ can contact Congress. That’s against the law. In a Twitter thread this evening, attorney Mike Davis shared that AG Merrick Garland ordered all members of his corrupt DOJ to not contact Congress. (snip) If Garland’s memo is interpreted as ordering DOJ employees not to go to Congress with information on crimes taking place within the DOJ, then Garland broke the law.

The FBI confiscated the phone of GOP Rep Scott Perry while he was traveling with his family. Perry said he was approached by 3 FBI agents with a warrant for his cell phone — the FBI had made no attempt to contact his lawyers or him to get the cell phone. (snip) House Judiciary Committee Republicans are now opening an investigation into DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz over his involvement in examining the cell phone. In a letter sent by Jim Jordan, he said it “creates a serious conflict of interest for the OIG in reviewing the Department’s actions.” Jordan...

[H/T CheshireTheCat] What will it take for Republicans to stand united and call for the end of these shots, the investigation of their creation and distribution, and compensation for those injured? Do they really fear the vacuous pejorative of “anti-vaxxer” more than they love a generation of children?In January, CDC researchers conceded in JAMA that the over 50,000 reported cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in VAERS are “likely” underreported. If they are willing to concede that point, it should be abundantly clear to thinking people that the number of diagnosed cases of myocarditis, and certainly those reported to VAERS, were...

In this bracing essay, David Horowitz calls out the Left for what it is–criminal, racist, and sometimes fascist. David argues that conservatives need to understand the utter bad faith with which the Left conducts itself, and stand up bravely to defend our country from the ravages of the Left. The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly...
