Conservatives’ Partial Devotion to the Declaration of Independence by Jacob G. Hornberger July 24, 2024 Larry Arnn, the conservative president of Hillsdale College, arguably the most conservative college in the country, had an op-ed in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal in which he partially praised the Declaration of Independence. Complimenting J.D. Vance’s speech accepting the Republican vice-presidential nomination, Arnn reflected on certain passages of the Declaration of Independence, such as how it ...
Congressional Incompetence in Its Trump-Shooting Investigation by Jacob G. Hornberger July 23, 2024 Members of Congress are besides themselves over the testimony of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle regarding the near-assassination of former president Trump. They are upset that Cheatle was unable to provide them with adequate explanations as to what appears to be incompetence at best and willful blindness, conscious indifference, or complicity at worst on the part of the ...
Why the U.S. Secrecy Surrounding Evan Gershkovich? by Jacob G. Hornberger July 22, 2024 Last Friday, a Russian court, operating in secret, convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a Russian penal colony. Ever since Gershkovich’s arrest in March 2023, I have written extensively about the case: https://www.fff.org/?s=Gershkovich The Journal and U.S. officials have responded to the verdict and sentence in the ...
Should RFK, Jr., Have Accepted Secret Service Protection? by Jacob G. Hornberger July 19, 2024 In the aftermath of the near-assassination of President Trump, President Biden finally granted independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s longtime request to be granted Secret Service protection. However, I can’t help but wonder whether Kennedy is now having second thoughts, not only given the Secret Service’s massive incompetence, at best, that led to the Trump shooting but ...
Living with Perpetual Violence by Jacob G. Hornberger July 17, 2024 Notwithstanding the near-assassination of former President Trump, I could not help but find a bit of humor in the response of Republicans, Democrats, and mainstream-press commentators to the shooting — the response that says that there is no room for political violence in American society. Are they kidding? How can any reasonable person not guffaw at that statement? ...
Why Did They Immediately Shut Down the Investigation into JFK’s Assassination? by Jacob G. Hornberger July 16, 2024 Given the attempted assassination of former President Trump, I can’t help but think back to the assassination of President Kennedy — and, specifically, to how determined U.S. officials were to immediately shut down any investigation into the assassination. An NBC News article dated October 27, 2017, stated that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued a memo ...
Assassination Accomplishes Nothing by Jacob G. Hornberger July 15, 2024 I was a few minutes into my talk at FreedomFest when former President Trump was almost assassinated. It was ironic because my talk was about the U.S. national-security establishment’s assassination of President Kennedy. While my talk specifically focused on the CIA’s production of a fraudulent copy of the famous film of the assassination by Dallas businessman Abraham Zapruder ...
Biden’s Delusion of Running the World by Jacob G. Hornberger July 9, 2024 Note: FFF will be at FreedomFest in Las Vegas starting tomorrow (Wednesday) through Sunday. Therefore, there will be no FFF Daily or my blog published for the rest of this week. We will resume publication on Monday, July 15. ***** While Biden’s critics are focusing on what appears to be some major cognitive issues for the president, very ...
The National Security State Was Immune for Its Assassination of JFK by Jacob G. Hornberger July 8, 2024 No one should have been surprised over the Supreme Court’s recent ruling of absolute immunity for official acts carried out by a U.S. president. The federal judiciary has long held that the U.S. national security state — i.e., the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA — is immune from civil or criminal liability for its illegal acts, so long ...
The Perfect Solution for the Presidential Race by Jacob G. Hornberger July 1, 2024 I have the perfect solution for the presidential race. Owing to President Biden’s obvious diminished mental faculties, many people have concluded that it would not be in the interests of the country for him to be reelected. I think that deep down Biden agrees, but he doesn’t want to drop ...
Does Biden’s Degraded Mental State Matter? by Jacob G. Hornberger June 28, 2024 Most everyone, especially Democrats, is expressing alarm over President Biden’s mental state after his debate performance last night. Biden, who later said that he was suffering from a cold, displayed attributes of severe mental decline. Many Democrats are even saying that Biden needs to drop out of the presidential race now so that the Democrats have plenty of ...
Tonight’s Debate Is Over Power, Not Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger June 27, 2024 Make no mistake about it: tonight’s presidential debate between President Biden and former President Trump is simply about power. Who is going to wield the reins of power over the welfare-regulatory-warfare state? Will it be Biden and the Democrats or will it be Trump and the Republicans? Which ones will wield the power to tax, regulate, control, direct, ...
