The Only Solution to America’s Healthcare Woes by Jacob G. Hornberger July 28, 2017 When President Franklin Roosevelt revolutionized America’s economic system by enacting Social Security, he knew that it would be a permanent change. He knew that once he got people dependent on the system, he would have them. Sort of like how a heroin dealer feels about getting a new customer hooked on heroin. That’s what President Obama and his acolytes were ...
Killing and Dying for Minerals by Jacob G. Hornberger July 27, 2017 Americans might soon have a new reason to thank the troops for their service, at least in Afghanistan, where the troops have been killing and dying for almost 16 years. According to an article in yesterday’s New York Times, “President Trump, searching for a reason to keep the United States in Afghanistan after 16 years of war, has ...
Trump’s Rejection of a Tyrannical System by Jacob G. Hornberger July 26, 2017 Notwithstanding President Trump’s many faults, failures, and foibles, let’s give credit where credit is due. Last week a suspected member of Al Qaeda named Ali Charaf Damache was extradited to the United States to stand trial. Trump had a choice: He could have had Damache sent into the Pentagon-CIA kangaroo “justice” system in Cuba or to the federal court ...
Immigration Socialism Produces More Death and Suffering by Jacob G. Hornberger July 25, 2017 Everywhere you look, socialism is in crisis. Not just in Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba, but also right here in the United States. Just consider three of America’s core socialist programs: Social Security, healthcare, and public schooling. They are all in crisis. They are always in crisis. Among the best examples of crisis in American socialism is in the area ...
Trump’s Dictatorial Travel Ban to North Korea by Jacob G. Hornberger July 24, 2017 Last Friday, President Trump issued a decree-law that prohibits Americans from traveling to North Korea. His justification for infringing on one of the most fundamental rights of man — freedom of travel -- is two-fold: to watch over and take care of Americans by refusing to permit them to travel to a brutal communist regime that might do bad ...
The Big Crash Is Coming by Jacob G. Hornberger July 21, 2017 American statists are convinced that the modern-day United States is immune from an economic catastrophe arising from its welfare-state, regulated-economy way of life. They say that out-of-control federal spending and debt is nothing to be concerned about. There is no need to slash welfare-state spending or warfare-state spending, they assert, because America is an exceptional country, one that isn’t ...
Progressives’ Warped View of Democracy and Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger July 20, 2017 Liberals/Progressives have a fascinatingly warped and perverted view of democracy and freedom. They believe that what people do with their own money should be subject to majority vote. If people are free to choose what to do with their own money, these statists say, that would constitute a severe threat to democracy. Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous in ...
End Federal Asset Stealing by Legalizing Drugs by Jacob G. Hornberger July 19, 2017 As most everyone knows, federal spending and federal debt are out of control. The feds continue to spend far more than they take in with federal taxes. The excess of federal spending over federal taxes is called the deficit. The deficit this year is estimated to be $702 billion. That amount will be borrowed and added to the existing ...
The Soviet Union Won WW II by Jacob G. Hornberger July 18, 2017 On May 9, 2017, Russians held a military parade in Red Square to commemorate the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Given all the anti-Russia hoopla in the United States, no Western leaders attended the victory parade. The Russians have good reason to commemorate the end of World War II. That’s because it was the Soviet Union, ...
A Mainstream Dose of Reality on Iraq by Jacob G. Hornberger July 17, 2017 Ever since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, we have been hit with a multiplicity of bromides, myths, falsehoods, and deceptions by U.S. officials and the mainstream media. “Saddam was coming to get us with his WMDs.” “Mushroom clouds were going to start appearing over U.S. cities.” “The troops in Iraq are defending our freedoms.” The troops are ...
A Constantly Shifting Array of Official Enemies by Jacob G. Hornberger July 14, 2017 After George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq ended up producing ISIS, which was quickly made into a new official enemy of the United States, I am sure that there were lots of Americans saying to themselves, “Oh my gosh, another official enemy. But once we vanquish this one, it will finally be over. We will finally have peace, tranquility, ...
Slavery in North Korea and the U.S. by Jacob G. Hornberger July 13, 2017 Sometimes the mainstream media can be entertaining without intending to. A good example appeared yesterday in an article about slavery in the New York Times. The article, entitled “North Koreans in Russia Work “Basically in the Situation of Slaves,” details the lives of North Koreans who travel to Russia to work. Russians have embraced the North Korean workers. Why? Because they work ...
