China Isn’t the Only One Who Flaunts Court Rulings by Jacob G. Hornberger August 16, 2016 Ever since an international tribunal in the Hague ruled against China last July in a dispute over ownership of islands in the South China Sea, the U.S. mainstream press has lambasted China for refusing to comply with the Court’s ruling.

The Military Base Dole by Jacob G. Hornberger August 10, 2016 During my recent visit to my hometown of Laredo, Texas, as I was heading out of town toward Corpus Christi, I passed by the former site of Laredo Air Force Base.
