Hornberger February 24, 2023 According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon recently spent at least $1.5 million to down high-altitude objects, including the infamous Chinese balloon that supposedly was spying on the United States.

Nicaragua and America’s Golden Goose by Jacob G. Hornberger February 23, 2023 After socialist Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega released several political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States, he proceeded to confiscate their homes and convert them into government-owned assets. His action demonstrates how socialism works here in the United States. What Ortega is doing is taking private property from those who have it and converting to the ...
Brzezinski’s Confession by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2023 While American interventionists remain stone-cold silent about the way that the Pentagon, operating through its old Cold War dinosaur NATO, knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, it’s instructive to remind ourselves that this wasn’t the first time that the Pentagon provoked Russia into invading another country. Let’s go back to 1979, when the Pentagon was ...

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.

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.

The Alien Invasion of America by Jacob G. Hornberger February 13, 2023 The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming!

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.

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.
