Hornberger March 3, 2023 Almost a year ago, The Future of Freedom Foundation published my book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, which I consider to be the best work I have done in the 33-year history of FFF.

Hornberger March 2, 2023 Not surprisingly, immigration-control advocates are coming fiercely to the defense of George Allan Kelly, the 74-year-old Arizona man who is charged with murdering a Mexican citizen who illegally crossed the border into the United States and trespassed on Kelly’s ranch.

Conservative Mental Dichotomy on the Draft by Jacob G. Hornberger March 1, 2023 The war in Ukraine has displayed a fascinating dichotomy that exists within conservatives.

JFK’s Remarkable Peace Speech that Sealed His Fate by Jacob G. Hornberger February 28, 2023 The deep animosity against Russia and China that the U.S. national-security establishment has inculcated in the American people brings to mind the remarkable speech that President Kennedy delivered on June 10, 1963, at American University that sealed his fate.

Nicaragua and America’s Golden Goose by Jacob G. Hornberger February 23, 2023 After socialist Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega released several political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States, he proceeded to confiscate their homes and convert them into government-owned assets.

Brzezinski’s Confession by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2023 While American interventionists remain stone-cold silent about the way that the Pentagon, operating through its old Cold War dinosaur NATO, knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, it’s instructive to remind ourselves that this wasn’t the first time that the Pentagon provoked Russia into invading another country. Let’s go back to 1979, when the Pentagon was ...

Thank You, Americans, for Our Tax-Funded Largess by Jacob G. Hornberger February 15, 2023 I want to thank all of you taxpayers out there for providing me with the benefits of gigantic amounts of welfare-warfare-state largess that is being heaped on those of us living here in Virginia.
