The Right to Keep and Bear Arms by Jacob G. Hornberger December 5, 2019 There are those among the gun-control crowd who advocate repealing the Second Amendment. They think that by doing so, they would be prohibiting people from owning guns. Unfortunately, they have a woeful lack of understanding of rights and the Constitution. People’s rights do not come from either the original Constitution or ...
Immigration Death and Tyranny by Jacob G. Hornberger December 4, 2019 Whenever there is a government program or system that is producing deaths of innocent people as well as tyranny, that is a persuasive sign that that is a bad government program, one that needs to be eliminated. Yet, that is precisely what we have with America’s decades-long system of immigration controls — death and tyranny.
The Pentagon’s Destruction of the Bill of Rights by Jacob G. Hornberger December 3, 2019 It is supremely ironic that Pentagon officials take an oath to support and defend the Constitution because they intentionally destroyed the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution when they set up their “judicial” system at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In fact, the very reason the Pentagon established its system in Cuba, rather than the United States, was to circumvent ...
Asset Forfeiture and the Destruction of American Liberty by Jacob G. Hornberger December 2, 2019 For centuries, it has been an established tenet of Western jurisprudence that a person cannot be punished for a crime unless the government first convicts him of the crime in a court of law. After the Constitution called the federal government into existence, our American ancestors demanded that this principle be enshrined in the Bill of Rights ...
Empire, Intervention, and the Intentional Sacrifice of U.S. Soldiers by Jacob G. Hornberger November 29, 2019 On April 9, 1942, 12,000 U.S. troops paid the price of U.S. empire and intervention when they surrendered to Japanese forces at Bataan, Philippines. During the resulting “Bataan death march,” 600 of them died, and then another 1,000 died after they were transported to Japanese POW camps.
Jury Nullification Thwarts Immigration Tyranny by Jacob G. Hornberger November 27, 2019 The U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Border Patrol are not happy campers. That’s because a federal jury, in a clear case of jury nullification, has just put the quietus to federal attempts to incarcerate 37-year-old Arizonian Scott Warren for a large portion of his life. The federal charge against Warren? ...
Guns and Violence by Jacob G. Hornberger November 26, 2019 The gun-control crowd continues to believe that violence in America is due to the fact that so many people own guns. If guns could just be made to disappear, the argument goes, the violence in American society would finally disappear. What about Switzerland? In that country, most ...
Russia: Friend or Foe? by Jacob G. Hornberger November 25, 2019 Ever since the end of the Cold War, it has been the mission of the U.S. national-security establishment to re-institute the relationship of hate, hostility, and fear that existed between the Soviet Union, especially Russia, and the United States during the Cold War. That’s what the U.S. post-Cold War invigoration of NATO was all about, especially its absorption of former ...
The Kennedy Autopsy 2 by Jacob G. Hornberger November 22, 2019 Fifty-six years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was shot dead on the streets of Dallas, Texas. The official story is that a lone nut named Lee Harvey Oswald, without any motive, committed the assassination. During the past several decades, however, the overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence, much of which was intentionally kept secret, points to a ...
The Minimum Wage Is the Enemy of the Poor by Jacob G. Hornberger November 21, 2019 Suppose they made the minimum wage $1,000 an hour. Just think: Every worker in America would be taking home at least $8,000 a day. That would be an annual salary of over $2 million. Wonderful, right? What an easy way to abolish poverty and make everyone rich, right?
Two More U.S. Deaths for Nothing in Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger November 20, 2019 Two more U.S. soldiers have been killed during combat-support operations in Afghanistan. This brings to 19 the number of U.S. soldiers killed so far this year in the U.S. government’s forever war in that country. A total of 2,400 U.S. soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since the U.S. invaded the country in 2001. It is unknown ...
The Socialism of the Federal Reserve by Jacob G. Hornberger November 19, 2019 The Federal Reserve is the federal entity charged with determining the quantity of money in the American economy. To boost the economy, it expands the money supply. If the economy gets too “overheated,” it slows the rate of increase. In other words, the Fed is the government’s monetary central planner. It plans the monetary affairs ...
