Where is JFK When You Need Him? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 26, 2022 President Kennedy had a unique way of viewing his communist adversaries during the Cold War. He would put himself in their shoes and try to figure out what was motivating them to take the actions they were taking. He would then attempt to fashion a solution to a particular crisis that satisfied the other side’s concerns.
A Time for Introspection by Jacob G. Hornberger January 25, 2022 With the crisis over Ukraine getting bigger by the day, this would be a good time for the American people to engage in some serious introspection, especially given the recent withdrawal of U.S. forces from their forever deadly and destructive war in Afghanistan. One option, of course, is to continue business as usual. That’s what is clearly ...
Liberty Entails the Right to Possess and Consume Drugs by Jacob G. Hornberger January 21, 2022 By now, even the most ardent of drug warriors has to admit that the drug war has been a manifest failure, at least if the goal was to eradicate drug use in America. At the same time, most everyone must now acknowledge the widespread violence, death, suffering, mass incarceration, infringements on civil liberties, asset forfeiture, and racial bigotry ...
The Unseen Consequences of the Interstate Highway System by Jacob G. Hornberger January 20, 2022 I was recently on a road trip to Missouri where I saw a sign that indicated that I was on the famed Route 66, a U.S. highway that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles from the 1920s through the 1960s. Although I grew up in South Texas, as a kid I was very familiar with Route 66 because ...
Crisis-Filled Lives by Jacob G. Hornberger January 19, 2022 No one can deny that we Americans live crisis-filled lives. Right now, there is a major crisis in Ukraine with Russia. There is also an ongoing crisis with China. Other foreign-policy crises, such as with Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, Cuba, Iraq, and North Korea. There is a terrorism crisis. Healthcare crisis. Social Security crisis. Drug-war crisis. Immigration crisis. Debt ...
Good for Putin for Exposing U.S. Hypocrisy by Jacob G. Hornberger January 18, 2022 At the risk of being accused of befriending one of the two premier enemies (or rivals, opponents, adversaries, or competitors) of the U.S. national-security establishment (the other one being China), I feel compelled to commend Russian President Vladimir Putin for exposing the rank hypocrisy of U.S. officials. I must admit that I couldn’t help but smile when I ...
Healthcare Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger January 13, 2022 As the Omicron variation of COVID-19 continues to spread, the American people need to be asking themselves an important question: Do they want healthcare freedom or not? If not, then healthcare will remain under the control of government — the federal government and the state and local governments. That will mean continued and growing healthcare tyranny in ...
Leave Cuba, and Leave Cuba Alone by Jacob G. Hornberger January 12, 2022 On the 20-year anniversary of the Pentagon’s and CIA’s torture and prison center and their military-tribunal judicial system at their imperial base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, some critics are asking the obvious question: Why doesn’t President Biden simply order the closure of this horrific travesty and be done with it? Unfortunately, however, the critics don’t want to acknowledge ...
The Reds Are Right About Assange by Jacob G. Hornberger January 11, 2022 The Chinese communists are hoisting the U.S. government on its own petard, at least with respect to Julian Assange, the Australian citizen who, with WikiLeaks, disclosed war crimes committed by the U.S. national-security establishment. For decades stretching back to the Cold War, U.S. officials have reveled in leveling condemnations and criticisms of Red China for its human-rights abuses ...
Abolish NATO by Jacob G. Hornberger January 10, 2022 The New York Times published an article yesterday that denied that U.S. officials promised Russia at the end of the Cold War that NATO would not expand membership to Warsaw Pact countries. Unfortunately, the article misses the point. The point is that NATO should have been abolished when the Cold War ended, which would, needless ...
January 6 and the Enabling Act by Jacob G. Hornberger January 6, 2022 Ever since the January 6 protests got out of control, the mainstream press and the Democrat Party establishment have done everything they can to milk it for all its worth. The one-year anniversary today of that event continues that trend. Just look at the front pages of the mainstream press and you’ll see what I mean. Make no ...
Clay Shaw, Liar and Perjurer by Jacob G. Hornberger January 3, 2022 In 1969, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison brought a criminal prosecution against a man named Clay Shaw. In the trial, Garrison rejected the lone-nut theory of the assassination of President Kennedy. He alleged instead that Kennedy was assassinated in a highly sophisticated regime-change operation spearheaded by the U.S. national-security establishment. Garrison alleged that Shaw had played a ...
