Why do Republicans Support U.S. Sanctions on Venezuela? by Jacob G. Hornberger September 27, 2022 Okay, I get that Republicans want to expose Democrats for their immigration hypocrisy. What I don’t get us why they would use impoverished human beings who have fled to the United States in an attempt to survive as the means to do that. But what I really don’t understand is why Republicans and other statist supporters of America’s ...

Ron DeSantis and “Waste, Fraud, and Abuse” by Jacob G. Hornberger September 23, 2022 Republicans and conservatives are still celebrating Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s immigration antic with respect to his shipping and dumping immigrants in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. They are convinced that what DeSantis did was a brilliant political move because it supposedly exposed the hypocrisy of rich, elite progressives/liberals/Democrats who say they favor immigrants but then won’t take them into their ...
Humorous Aspects of Immigration Anxiety by Jacob G. Hornberger September 22, 2022 I fully realize that it is difficult to find humor in an immigration system that continues to bring death, suffering, humiliation, and a police state to countless people. Nonetheless, even amidst the darkness surrounding America’s system of government-controlled borders, I just can’t help but laugh at some of funny aspects of the extreme immigration anxiety that strikes immigration-control ...
The CIA’s Zapruder Film Secrecy by Jacob G. Hornberger September 21, 2022 This coming December 15 is the newest deadline for the disclosure of the CIA’s 50-year-old records relating to the Kennedy assassination. In a recent article, I predicted that as the deadline approaches, the CIA will seek yet another extension of time for secrecy and that President Biden will deferentially grant it. The CIA will undoubtedly once ...
Distractions, Scapegoats, and Rot by Jacob G. Hornberger September 20, 2022 Out-of-control federal spending. Decades-long monetary debasement. A never-ending violent and corrupt drug war. A perpetual deadly and destructive war on terrorism. A mind-destroying educational system. Bankrupt socialist welfare programs, including Social Security and Medicare. A highly regulated and controlled society. Vicious trade wars. A decades-old immigration crisis. Invasions and occupations. Coups. Torture. Indefinite detention. Fomentation of foreign crises ...
Right-Wing Hypocrisy on DeSantis’s Clownish Thuggery by Jacob G. Hornberger September 19, 2022 Right-wingers are making a big deal out of the decision by people in Martha’s Vineyard not to take into their homes the immigrants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shipped to them a few days ago. The right-wingers are saying that feeding the immigrants and caring for them was not sufficient. The people of Martha’s Vineyard, they say, should ...
The Clownish Thuggery of DeSantis and Abbott by Jacob G. Hornberger September 16, 2022 You can tell how Republicans view illegal immigrants by the clownish thuggery in which two of their most revered governors are currently engaged. After arresting (kidnapping might be a better term) immigrants for violating sacred federal laws against illegal entry, DeSantis and Abbott then have them involuntarily transported to Washington, D.C., or Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where the transporters ...

The Unnecessary War on Terrorism by Jacob G. Hornberger September 14, 2022 After the 9/11 attacks, U.S. officials decided to invade Afghanistan. Never mind that the federal government produced no evidence of complicity of the Taliban government in the attacks. Never mind that there was no congressional declaration of war against Afghanistan, as the Constitution requires. Never mind that Afghanistan had been legally justified in refusing President Bush’s ...
