Myanmar’s Lesson for America by Jacob G. Hornberger April 1, 2021 While the U.S. mainstream press comes down hard on the military crackdown in Myanmar, unfortunately, but predictably, they fail to see any parallel with our situation here in the United States. Myanmar, like the United States, is a national-security state. For some years, the national-security establishment in Myanmar has permitted the other branches of government ...
Redistributing Wealth by Jacob G. Hornberger March 31, 2021 One of the reasons for the welfare state is the concept of redistribution of wealth. The argument is that in a free market, there are people who end up having more money than others. This is unfair, argue welfare-statists. Everyone should be equal in terms of the money and wealth they have. Thus, their argument goes, the ...

Another Inane Federal Policy by Jacob G. Hornberger March 29, 2021 I was recently walking in Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park in Leesburg, Virginia, where I encountered one of those astonishingly inane policies that the federal government is known for. Consisting of three acres, Balls Bluff is a regional park owned and run by a state entity called Northern Virginia Parks. It commemorates a battle that ...
An Unseen Consequence of the Minimum Wage by Jacob G. Hornberger March 26, 2021 It is easy to see a direct consequence of minimum-wage laws — the unemployment they produce by pricing people out of the labor market. If a person’s labor has a market value of less than the state-mandated minimum wage, he will be laid off or simply not employed. Businesses are not in the business of losing money. ...
Just Leave the Commies Alone by Jacob G. Hornberger March 25, 2021 I’m not sure what good it did for the Cold War to end, given that the U.S. government has done everything it could since then to gin up hostilities, tension, and conflict with the communist and former communist world. When Russia expressed a desire to have friendly relations at the start of the Trump administration, the Pentagon and the CIA ...
Another Predictable Call for Gun Control by Jacob G. Hornberger March 24, 2021 Another mass killing in America. The immediate reaction from the left? Gun control! By now, everyone can predict how the left is going to respond to one of America’s periodic mass killings. One leftist asks, “Is It Time to End the Second Amendment?" His question only goes to show how woefully ignorant leftists are ...
The Banality of Evil on Sanctions by Jacob G. Hornberger March 23, 2021 The banality of evil within the mainstream press when it comes to actions carried out by the U.S. national-security establishment never ceases to amaze me. The latest example appears in the New York Times in an investigative piece that absolutely stunned me. The piece consists of a video that details an extensive investigation into a ...

Terminate NATO by Jacob G. Hornberger March 19, 2021 The Washington Post has published a long piece calling for NATO to take on a new official enemy — China. The piece is written by Sara Bjerg Moller, an assistant professor in the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University. She argues that after 30 years since losing the Soviet Union as ...
Biden’s Immigration Crisis by Jacob G. Hornberger March 18, 2021 The immigration crisis taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border confirms three points that I have been making for many years. The first point is that no matter who is elected president and no matter what new policies are adopted to resolve America’s decades-old immigration crisis, it won’t do any good. That’s because America’s system of ...
