Prepare Yourself for Blowback from Yemen by Jacob G. Hornberger October 13, 2016 If there is another terrorist attack on U.S. soil, this time because of the death and destruction that the U.S. government is wreaking in Yemen, I can already hear the laments and complaints of statist-Americans: “Oh my gosh, another terrorist attack against us!

Hacking the Hackers by Jacob G. Hornberger October 12, 2016 U.S. officials are hacked off. They’re saying that the Russians (read: communists) hacked into the Democratic Party’s computers. Never mind U.S. officials haven’t shown any evidence to support their allegation. Like other matters relating to the national-security establishment since its inception in the late 1940s, we’re supposed to just trust them. Defer to authority. They know what’s best. They ...
What’s Wrong with an Independent Prosecutor for Clinton? by Jacob G. Hornberger October 11, 2016 Hillary Clinton supporters, including the mainstream press, are outraged that if elected president, Donald Trump intends to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s email scandal.

Left-Wing Panic Over Gary Johnson, Part 3 by Jacob G. Hornberger October 5, 2016 Given that Hillary Clinton is unable to use her support of indefinite war in the Middle East and Afghanistan and her commitment to continue the drug war indefinitely, both of which involve continued death, destruction, and corruption, to induce young people to abandon their support of Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson (see part 1 and part ...
Left-Wing Panic Over Gary Johnson, Part 2 by Jacob G. Hornberger October 4, 2016 As Hillary Clinton and her left-wing supporters try desperately to persuade millennials to abandon their support for Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson and vote for her instead, her foreign-policy position in the Middle East, which, as I pointed out yesterday in part 1 of this blog post, entails a continuation of the 25-year-long U.S. campaign of death ...
