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 ...
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 ...

Both suggest a growing divide between different people in the United States, and apparently foreigners are to blame. According to the ...

Hornberger February 17, 2022 U.S. officials are declaring unequivocally that Russian officials were lying when Russia stated that it was withdrawing troops from the Russia-Ukraine border. U.S officials say that it’s the exact opposite — that Russia is actually bringing more troops to the border. Russian officials might well be lying about Russian troop movements. It certainly shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially if ...
The Evil and Malevolence of the Pentagon’s Brilliant Strategy in Ukraine by Jacob G. Hornberger February 18, 2022 The crisis in Ukraine demonstrates the sheer malevolent brilliance of Pentagon strategists. Yes, granted, it’s an evil strategy, but nonetheless one cannot help but admire it (in a negative way) for its sheer malevolent ingenuity. The strategy has involved maneuvering Russia into having to make a choice between two scenarios, both of which have bad consequences. The choices ...
Dystopia Disguised as Democracy by John W. Whitehead February 23, 2022 “The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the ...
