The Supreme Court Declared the Minimum Wage Unconstitutional by Jacob G. Hornberger February 16, 2021 I wonder how many Americans realize that the U.S. Supreme Court once declared the minimum wage to be in violation of U.S. Constitution. This occurred in 1923 in a case entitled Adkins v. Children’s Hospital. In a 5-3 decision in that case, the Supreme Court held that a minimum wage law enacted by the District ...
The Omnipotent Power to Assassinate by Jacob G. Hornberger February 12, 2021 It goes without saying that the Constitution called into existence a government with few, limited powers. That was the purpose of enumerating the powers of the federal government. If the Constitution was bringing into existence a government of unlimited or omnipotent powers, then there would have been no point in enumerating a few limited powers. In that ...

Needed: A New System by Jacob G. Hornberger February 10, 2021 Hope springs eternal for statists. When President Trump was coming into office four years ago, conservatives were filled with hope and optimism that Trump would save America from its deep morass of crises and chaos. Alas, it didn’t happen. American society is just as dysfunctional as it was when Trump became president. Now, ...

Keep in mind that this is ...
Libertarian Silence on the Kennedy Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger February 8, 2021 One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Kennedy assassination is the silence among conservative, reform-oriented libertarians on the national-security state’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy. What’s up with that? After all, wouldn’t you think that a domestic regime-change operation against a U.S. president would be something every libertarian would be condemning, even ...

Was Fraud in the 2020 Election Inconceivable? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 4, 2021 One of the fascinating aspects of the 2020 presidential election fraud brouhaha was the mainstream media’s certainty that there was no fraud, without even performing the semblance of an investigation. The media mindset was based on the concept of inconceivability — that it was just inconceivable that anything like that could happen in the United States. That ...
The Impotence of the Supreme Court by Jacob G. Hornberger February 3, 2021 Imagine if the DEA established a torture and prison camp in, say, Odessa, Texas. Whenever DEA agents arrest someone suspected of violating America’s drug laws, the suspect is taken to the DEA camp, where he is tortured into giving up names of people involved in the drug trade. Prisoners are denied a trial for years, perhaps forever. ...
The Myanmar Coup: A Lesson for Americans by Jacob G. Hornberger February 2, 2021 The Los Angeles Times is upset about the coup in Myanmar, where the military has once again taken full control of the government. In an editorial, the Times says the U.S. government should impose “sweeping economic sanctions” to punish Myanmar’s military rulers that will “prohibit American companies — and foreign companies subject to U.S. jurisdiction ...
The Political Game on the Pandemic by Jacob G. Hornberger February 1, 2021 After the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, progressives (i.e., “liberals”) used it as a game to point out all the things that President Trump and his administration were doing wrong to address the crisis. Hardly a day went by without some leftist pointing out the faults and failures of Trump’s efforts. Now that Joe Biden ...
Our Upcoming Conference on the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger January 29, 2021 When it comes to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the mainstream press remains trapped within a 1964 paradigm. They continue to repeat the standard 1964 line that Kennedy was killed by a lone-nut communist, a former U.S. Marine who had no ostensible motive for killing the president. Anyone who challenges that 1964 paradigm is immediately ...
