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.

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.

But what I really don’t understand is why Republicans and other statist supporters of America’s ...

Ron DeSantis’s immigration antic with respect to his shipping and dumping immigrants in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

Nonetheless, even amidst the darkness surrounding America’s system of government-controlled borders, I just can’t help but laugh at some of funny aspects of the extreme immigration anxiety that strikes immigration-control ...
The CIA’s Zapruder Film Secrecy by Jacob G. Hornberger September 21, 2022 This coming December 15 is the newest deadline for the disclosure of the CIA’s 50-year-old records relating to the Kennedy assassination.
