Cuba and Vietnam: What’s the Difference? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 17, 2023 During a visit to Mexico by Cuba’s president Miguel Díaz-Canel, Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), announced that he was willing to lead an international effort to pressure the U.S. government into lifting its six-decade-old economic embargo against the Cuban people. AMLO stated, “As a sign of goodwill and that all the countries of the Americas are ...
What If Americans Were Fighting on Russia’s Side? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 16, 2023 The New York Times recently carried an interesting article entitled, “They Are Russians Fighting Against Their Homeland. Here’s Why.” The article describes a group of Russian citizens who are fighting on the side of Ukraine against Russian soldiers. They concluded that Russia was in the wrong to invade Ukraine and, therefore, decided to fight on the ...
Thank You, Americans, for Our Tax-Funded Largess by Jacob G. Hornberger February 15, 2023 I want to thank all of you taxpayers out there for providing me with the benefits of gigantic amounts of welfare-warfare-state largess that is being heaped on those of us living here in Virginia. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the states surrounding Washington, D.C., had the nation’s biggest decline in unemployment benefits. In Virginia, ...
Why Did Biden Let In Those Nicaraguan Refugees? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 14, 2023 The Biden administration and its acolytes in the U.S. mainstream press are celebrating the fact that Nicaraguan socialist dictator Daniel Ortega just released 222 political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States. In the process, however, they are only demonstrating the arbitrary, capricious, and hypocritical nature of America’s socialist system of immigration controls. Ortega’s political ...
The Alien Invasion of America by Jacob G. Hornberger February 13, 2023 The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! No, I’m not talking about illegal aliens -- that is, those immigrants who are trying to enter the United States without official permission. I’m talking about real aliens — the scary types from outer space. You know, the ones that look like ET. What other reasonable explanation could there ...
Ike Was Right about the Deep State by Jacob G. Hornberger February 10, 2023 This morning, a missile that Russia fired at Ukraine flew over Moldova and came within 22 miles of Romania, which is a member of NATO. If the missile had hit Romania, there would have been immediate demands under NATO’s Article 5, especially within the Ukrainian leadership, for NATO to respond immediately by attacking Russia. It's also worth noting ...
Another Warning to Immigration-Control Advocates by Jacob G. Hornberger February 9, 2023 In my blog post yesterday, I pointed out how many immigration-control advocates have been inculcated with the belief that illegal immigrants are invading the United States. Given such, some immigration-control advocates are tempted to begin killing them, much like Americans would do if some foreign military force was actually invading the United States. But the fact is that ...
Warning: There Is No Invasion by Illegal Immigrants! by Jacob G. Hornberger February 8, 2023 For many years, conservative commentators in the mainstream press have declaimed against the “invasion” of the United States by Latin American immigrants seeking to enter the United States without the official permission of the U.S. government. Over the years, I have received emails from right-wingers saying the same thing — that we are being “invaded” by the “illegals.”
DeSantis Is Doubling Down on Immigrant Abuse by Jacob G. Hornberger February 7, 2023 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doubling down on the abuse he inflicted several months ago on dozens of Venezuelan immigrants. He is asking the Florida legislature to give him another $12 million to “relocate” undocumented immigrants, which will enable him to do more of what he did to those Venezuelan immigrants to new groups of undocumented immigrants.
The Attack of the Killer Balloon by Jacob G. Hornberger February 6, 2023 I confess that I did not leave my house last week. I wasn’t about to take a chance that that Chinese Giant Balloon would attack me or, at the very least, monitor my trips to the grocery store. Why take that chance when I could remain safe within the confines of my home? Even Pentagon assurances that China’s ...
What Does “Unprovoked” Mean? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 3, 2023 Note the following sentence in a New York Times news story yesterday by Michael Schwirtz and Anton Troianovski about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “Mr. Putin’s attempt to put a veneer of nobility on an unprovoked invasion that has killed thousands of civilians and turned millions more into refugees was made in the Russian city once known as ...
The CIA’s Deadly Drug-Running Operation by Jacob G. Hornberger February 2, 2023 In an article I wrote last August entitled “The Torture and Execution of Kiki Camarena,” I recommended a Netflix documentary entitled The Last Narc. It revolves around the torture and execution of a DEA agent named Kiki Camarena, who was operating out of Guadalajara, Mexico. (Yes, the DEA enforces America’s drug war in foreign countries.)
