Albright and Kissinger Bring Shame to Hillary Clinton by Jacob G. Hornberger February 8, 2016 This past week’s campaign for the Democratic Party presidential nomination reveals that Hillary Clinton not only has good friends on Wall Street who pay her hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches but also some good friends who have served as loyal servants of the U.S. national-security establishment.

The Washington Post’s Interventionist Mindset by Jacob G. Hornberger February 5, 2016 If you have ever yearned for a perfect example of the interventionist mindset that undergirds the mainstream media, the Washington Post provided it last Sunday in an editorial entitled “Failure in Cuba.” The editorial could have easily been written by any member of U.S. national-security establishment, especially those in the Pentagon and CIA who have been obsessing over ...

Misplaced Anger with Trump by Jacob G. Hornberger February 1, 2016 The common perception is that people are gravitating toward Donald Trump because they’re angry. They’re angry with President Obama.
