The Evil Within by Jacob G. Hornberger October 11, 2022 As I was reading an article in Sunday’s Washington Post about the alleged rape and torture of a Ukrainian woman at the hands of Russian troops, I couldn’t help but think about four things: (1) Abu Ghraib; (2) Gitmo; (3) the CIA; and (4) Chile. Yes, I fully understand that the purpose of the Post’s article was ...

Chickenhawks Are Fascinating by Jacob G. Hornberger October 7, 2022 I have always been fascinated by chickenhawks. No, not the bird variety but the human types. These are people who advocate that the U.S. government should go to war against some foreign power while, at the same time, making it clear that they, the chickenhawks, are not to be included in the military forces that will be going ...
America’s Last President by Jacob G. Hornberger October 6, 2022 Two commonly asked questions regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy are: (1) Why would the Pentagon and the CIA want to assassinate Kennedy in order to elevate Vice-President Lyndon Johnson to the presidency? and (2) What difference does the JFK assassination make today? A new book, which I highly recommend, is America’s Last President: ...
Price-Gouging Hypocrisy Among Republicans by Jacob G. Hornberger October 5, 2022 As most everyone knows, Republicans have been celebrating the clownish antic of Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for using hundreds of thousands of Florida taxpayer dollars to ship 50 immigrants from Texas and dump them in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. The thuggish act, which appears to include fraudulent representations made to the immigrants, was intended to expose the hypocrisy ...
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Ukraine by Jacob G. Hornberger October 4, 2022 As many people are beginning to realize but would rather not think about, the United States and Russia are moving perilously close to nuclear war. Russian President Putin has now openly pledged to defend Russian territory with “all the forces and means at our disposal.” U.S. President Biden has responded that Russia will suffer “catastrophic consequences” if it ...

Russia’s Draft and America’s Draft Registration by Jacob G. Hornberger September 30, 2022 I find it fascinating how often Americans are being reminded of how similar the United States and Russia have become. First, there was the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Hey, the U.S. does invasions too. Afghanistan and Iraq come to mind. Second, there was the recent arrest, prosecution, conviction, and 9-year jail sentence for Brittney Griner for violating ...

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 ...
