Outrage on Refugees and Silence on Sanctions by Jacob G. Hornberger February 1, 2023 I have seen immigration-control advocates exclaim against illegal immigration my entire life. They say that U.S. officials just need to “crack down” in the war on illegal immigration in order to bring an end to America’s decades-long, never-ending, ongoing, perpetual immigration crisis and immigration chaos along the border. They just don’t get it, and I doubt they ever ...
Why Not Defund the Military? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 31, 2023 Amidst all the talk about defunding the police, notice something important: No one talks about defunding the military. That’s because the military establishment is too powerful and has come to be accepted as a permanent feature in American life. Except for libertarians, everyone treats the military as their god. But defunding the military, whose taxpayer-funded largess is now ...
Understanding the Pentagon’s Provocation of Russia by Jacob G. Hornberger January 30, 2023 President Kennedy had a unique ability that Pentagon generals did not have. He was able to analyze an international crisis by placing himself in the shoes of his adversary in an attempt to understand his adversary’s motives. Doing that enabled him to figure a way out of the crisis that did not involve war. The response of the ...
End the Welfare-Warfare State by Jacob G. Hornberger January 27, 2023 By any measure, the conversion of America to a welfare-warfare state has been a disaster. It is time to end this deadly and destructive political and economic experiment. Consider some examples: 1. After embroiling America in forever wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and other parts of the world, the Pentagon has succeeded in getting us closer to ...
The Pentagon’s Perpetual Crisis Machine by Jacob G. Hornberger January 26, 2023 Given President Biden’s decision to send 31 of its top-ranked M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, it is clear that the Pentagon has decided to escalate its war against Russia. Biden’s decision was followed by Germany’s decision to deliver 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks to Ukraine. I’ll guarantee you there isn’t a Russian alive who doesn’t know about the ...
Was Martin Luther King a Russian Red? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 25, 2023 Today, federal officials stumble over themselves to show how much they revere Martin Luther King. They’ve even created a federal holiday to honor him. Not so back when King was alive, however. During that time, U.S. officials were convinced that King was a Red, and they were also convinced that the Reds, especially the Russian Reds, were coming ...
How the Constitution Constrained Federal Spending and Debt by Jacob G. Hornberger January 24, 2023 Given that the debt-ceiling debate is likely to continue for a few months, examining the Constitution provides us with the reasons our nation has been plunged into this monetary morass. Federal officials have now run up the federal government’s debt to more than $31.5 trillion. That’s a lot of money. And it’s also a lot of interest ...
What About the Unprovoked U.S. Aggression Against Iraq? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 23, 2023 Referring to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an editorial in Saturday’s Washington Post exclaims that Ukraine’s “struggle is also a crucible for Europe and an assault against the most basic precept on which the Western system rests: the impermissibility of unprovoked wars of aggression.” In a follow-up editorial today, the Post calls for an ...
The Republican Debt-Circus Charade by Jacob G. Hornberger January 20, 2023 It seems like just yesterday that the debt-ceiling circus returned to Washington. Actually, it was October 2021, a little more than a year ago. That circus was just like all the ones that preceded it. The mainstream press and other acolytes of the welfare-warfare state issued all sorts of dire predictions if the debt ceiling wasn’t raised. As ...
Will a Crackdown Finally Win the War on Drugs? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 18, 2023 Among the federal government’s biggest failures is the war on drugs. Despite decades of warfare, the federal government is still a long way from declaring victory. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Today, the federal government is still fiercely waging the drug war, trying as hard as it can to win. Throughout the decades, drug warriors have lamented ...
JFK’s Different Direction for America Got Him Killed by Jacob G. Hornberger January 17, 2023 It has become an established part of American life that the American people must bear a deep enmity toward Russia. If anyone dares to say anything good about Russia, the wrath of the national-security-state god and its loyal followers will come crashing down on him. Unless America somehow changes direction, this national policy of hatred of Russia is ...
An Old-Line Conservative Weighs in on the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger January 13, 2023 E. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., an old-line conservative who is founder and editor in chief of The American Spectator, has recently weighed in on the Kennedy assassination.
