DeSantis Is Doubling Down on Immigrant Abuse by Jacob G. Hornberger February 7, 2023 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doubling down on the abuse he inflicted several months ago on dozens of Venezuelan immigrants. He is asking the Florida legislature to give him another $12 million to “relocate” undocumented immigrants, which will enable him to do more of what he did to those Venezuelan immigrants to new groups of undocumented immigrants.
The Attack of the Killer Balloon by Jacob G. Hornberger February 6, 2023 I confess that I did not leave my house last week. I wasn’t about to take a chance that that Chinese Giant Balloon would attack me or, at the very least, monitor my trips to the grocery store. Why take that chance when I could remain safe within the confines of my home? Even Pentagon assurances that China’s ...
What Does “Unprovoked” Mean? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 3, 2023 Note the following sentence in a New York Times news story yesterday by Michael Schwirtz and Anton Troianovski about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “Mr. Putin’s attempt to put a veneer of nobility on an unprovoked invasion that has killed thousands of civilians and turned millions more into refugees was made in the Russian city once known as ...
The CIA’s Deadly Drug-Running Operation by Jacob G. Hornberger February 2, 2023 In an article I wrote last August entitled “The Torture and Execution of Kiki Camarena,” I recommended a Netflix documentary entitled The Last Narc. It revolves around the torture and execution of a DEA agent named Kiki Camarena, who was operating out of Guadalajara, Mexico. (Yes, the DEA enforces America’s drug war in foreign countries.)
Outrage on Refugees and Silence on Sanctions by Jacob G. Hornberger February 1, 2023 I have seen immigration-control advocates exclaim against illegal immigration my entire life. They say that U.S. officials just need to “crack down” in the war on illegal immigration in order to bring an end to America’s decades-long, never-ending, ongoing, perpetual immigration crisis and immigration chaos along the border. They just don’t get it, and I doubt they ever ...
Why Not Defund the Military? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 31, 2023 Amidst all the talk about defunding the police, notice something important: No one talks about defunding the military. That’s because the military establishment is too powerful and has come to be accepted as a permanent feature in American life. Except for libertarians, everyone treats the military as their god. But defunding the military, whose taxpayer-funded largess is now ...
Understanding the Pentagon’s Provocation of Russia by Jacob G. Hornberger January 30, 2023 President Kennedy had a unique ability that Pentagon generals did not have. He was able to analyze an international crisis by placing himself in the shoes of his adversary in an attempt to understand his adversary’s motives. Doing that enabled him to figure a way out of the crisis that did not involve war. The response of the ...
End the Welfare-Warfare State by Jacob G. Hornberger January 27, 2023 By any measure, the conversion of America to a welfare-warfare state has been a disaster. It is time to end this deadly and destructive political and economic experiment. Consider some examples: 1. After embroiling America in forever wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and other parts of the world, the Pentagon has succeeded in getting us closer to ...
The Pentagon’s Perpetual Crisis Machine by Jacob G. Hornberger January 26, 2023 Given President Biden’s decision to send 31 of its top-ranked M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, it is clear that the Pentagon has decided to escalate its war against Russia. Biden’s decision was followed by Germany’s decision to deliver 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks to Ukraine. I’ll guarantee you there isn’t a Russian alive who doesn’t know about the ...
Was Martin Luther King a Russian Red? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 25, 2023 Today, federal officials stumble over themselves to show how much they revere Martin Luther King. They’ve even created a federal holiday to honor him. Not so back when King was alive, however. During that time, U.S. officials were convinced that King was a Red, and they were also convinced that the Reds, especially the Russian Reds, were coming ...
How the Constitution Constrained Federal Spending and Debt by Jacob G. Hornberger January 24, 2023 Given that the debt-ceiling debate is likely to continue for a few months, examining the Constitution provides us with the reasons our nation has been plunged into this monetary morass. Federal officials have now run up the federal government’s debt to more than $31.5 trillion. That’s a lot of money. And it’s also a lot of interest ...
What About the Unprovoked U.S. Aggression Against Iraq? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 23, 2023 Referring to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an editorial in Saturday’s Washington Post exclaims that Ukraine’s “struggle is also a crucible for Europe and an assault against the most basic precept on which the Western system rests: the impermissibility of unprovoked wars of aggression.” In a follow-up editorial today, the Post calls for an ...
