Not Yours to Give by Jacob G. Hornberger November 4, 2022 When I first discovered libertarianism in the late 1970s, I came across an essay entitled “Not Yours to Give.” The essay was published by The Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, where I would go to work as program director in 1987. The essay had a big impact on me because it explained in ...
America’s Immigration Surveillance State by Jacob G. Hornberger November 3, 2022 As longtime supporters of The Future of Freedom Foundation know, ever since our inception in 1989 we have called for open borders — genuine open borders — as the only way to resolve America’s decades-old, ongoing, never-ending immigration crisis. (See our 1995 book The Case for Free Trade and Open Immigration.) The primary reason is moral: ...
Expanding IRS Tyranny to Reduce Inflation by Jacob G. Hornberger November 2, 2022 One of the interesting aspects of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act was the allocation of $80 billion in increased funding for the Internal Revenue Service, one of the most powerful and tyrannical agencies in U.S. history. The money is intended to be used for enhanced tax enforcement, especially through the potential hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents who, ...
Dissolve the Pentagon for Its Nuclear Antics by Jacob G. Hornberger November 1, 2022 If the Pentagon’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine somehow turns nuclear and both Russia and the United States hit each other with their entire nuclear arsenals, I wonder how Americans who supported the Pentagon in the crisis would react. I’m referring, of course, to those Americans who would survive the nuclear onslaught. Most, if not all, of them, ...
No U.S. Negotiations with Russia by Jacob G. Hornberger October 31, 2022 Amidst the increasingly degrading situation in Ukraine, a number of American commentators are calling on President Biden to enter into negotiations with Russia in an attempt to resolve the crisis. I’ve got a better idea: the U.S. government should instead butt out of the crisis entirely. It should immediately stop furnishing military and financial aid to Ukraine, withdraw ...
Should We Thank Russian Troops for Their Service? by Jacob G. Hornberger October 28, 2022 After the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the American people were constantly exhorted to thank the troops for their service. The mantra spread throughout American society. Politicians used it in their campaigns. Church ministers emphasized it in their sermons. Airliners used it when giving the troops early boarding privileges. That raises an obvious question: Should ...
Fascism versus Socialism: Take Your Pick by Jacob G. Hornberger October 27, 2022 I was recently contemplating the run-off election for president in Brazil between right-winger Jair Bolsonaro and left-winger Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Brazilian people, given that their choice was between economic fascism, which Bolsonaro represents, and socialism, which Lula represents. What a horrible choice!
The Pentagon Brought on Both Nuclear Crises by Jacob G. Hornberger October 26, 2022 I fully realize that when it comes to Ukraine, one is supposed to focus exclusively on Russia’s invasion and not on what the Pentagon did to gin up the crisis, a crisis that has gotten us perilously close to a world-destroying nuclear war with Russia. Nonetheless, the Pentagon’s role in this crisis needs to be emphasized, over ...
Thank You, Mr. President, for Lengthening My Leash by Jacob G. Hornberger October 25, 2022 Three weeks ago, President Biden issued a mass pardon for people convicted of federal marijuana possession. His leftist supporters praised and glorified him for his act of extreme compassion and generosity. Never mind that there was no one incarcerated in a federal penitentiary for simple possession of marijuana. Never mind that Biden’s pardon didn’t extend to people serving ...
I Am Not Nostradamus! by Jacob G. Hornberger October 21, 2022 On September 8, 2022, I wrote an article entitled “My Prediction on the CIA’s Secret Assassination Files.” In that article, I went out on a limb and predicted that when the upcoming December 15 deadline arrives, the CIA and President Biden will, once again, extend the time for secrecy for the CIA’s 60-year-old records relating ...
