Terminate Foreign Aid to Israel (and Everyone Else) by Jacob G. Hornberger May 18, 2021 The latest outbreak of death and destruction between Israel and Palestinians should cause Americans to reflect on an important question: Why should Americans be taxed so that their money can be sent to the Israeli government in the form of weapons or other foreign aid? Indeed, why should the U.S. government be sending aid to any regime ...

Conservatives and Liberals: Immigration Socialists by Jacob G. Hornberger May 11, 2021 Republicans love to accuse Democrats of favoring open borders. That’s partly because Democrats favor granting “amnesty” to immigrants who have been here illegally for a long period of time. Legalizing illegal immigrants, however, is a far cry from open borders. Open borders entails a complete dismantling of American’s immigration-control system, including an abolition of the Border Patrol. ...

If the concern is cigarette smoking and cancer, why ...

Reform versus Freedom by Jacob G.
