The Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily have the best editorial pages in the country. It was with some disappointment we read their main editorial in the WSJ on December 31, 2020.

This has been a year of astonishing policy failure. We are surrounded by devastation conceived and cheered by intellectuals and their political handmaidens.
