Assassination Accomplishes Nothing by Jacob G. Hornberger July 15, 2024 I was a few minutes into my talk at FreedomFest when former President Trump was almost assassinated. It was ironic because my talk was about the U.S. national-security establishment’s assassination of President Kennedy. While my talk specifically focused on the CIA’s production of a fraudulent copy of the famous film of the assassination by Dallas businessman Abraham Zapruder ...
Biden’s Delusion of Running the World by Jacob G. Hornberger July 9, 2024 Note: FFF will be at FreedomFest in Las Vegas starting tomorrow (Wednesday) through Sunday. Therefore, there will be no FFF Daily or my blog published for the rest of this week. We will resume publication on Monday, July 15. ***** While Biden’s critics are focusing on what appears to be some major cognitive issues for the president, very ...
The National Security State Was Immune for Its Assassination of JFK by Jacob G. Hornberger July 8, 2024 No one should have been surprised over the Supreme Court’s recent ruling of absolute immunity for official acts carried out by a U.S. president. The federal judiciary has long held that the U.S. national security state — i.e., the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA — is immune from civil or criminal liability for its illegal acts, so long ...
The Perfect Solution for the Presidential Race by Jacob G. Hornberger July 1, 2024 I have the perfect solution for the presidential race. Owing to President Biden’s obvious diminished mental faculties, many people have concluded that it would not be in the interests of the country for him to be reelected. I think that deep down Biden agrees, but he doesn’t want to drop ...
Does Biden’s Degraded Mental State Matter? by Jacob G. Hornberger June 28, 2024 Most everyone, especially Democrats, is expressing alarm over President Biden’s mental state after his debate performance last night. Biden, who later said that he was suffering from a cold, displayed attributes of severe mental decline. Many Democrats are even saying that Biden needs to drop out of the presidential race now so that the Democrats have plenty of ...
Tonight’s Debate Is Over Power, Not Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger June 27, 2024 Make no mistake about it: tonight’s presidential debate between President Biden and former President Trump is simply about power. Who is going to wield the reins of power over the welfare-regulatory-warfare state? Will it be Biden and the Democrats or will it be Trump and the Republicans? Which ones will wield the power to tax, regulate, control, direct, ...
The Right of Private Property in a Healthcare Crisis by Jacob G. Hornberger June 26, 2024 During the Covid crisis, the federal government and state governments imposed mask mandates, vaccine requirements, and lockdowns on private businesses. Such measures were, of course, illegitimate exercises of governmental power. As I have long pointed out, however, the ultimate solution to such measures lies not in playing an endless game of whack-a-mole against them but rather to constitutionally ...
The Injustice of Assange’s Guilty Plea by Jacob G. Hornberger June 25, 2024 I can fully understand why Julian Assange has accepted a plea deal in which he has agreed to plead guilty to a supposed conspiracy to disclose official secrets relating to U.S. “national security.” Given the lapdog nature of the British government, it was a foregone conclusion that British officials would ultimately, one of these days, rule in favor ...
Abolish Occupational Licensure by Jacob G. Hornberger June 24, 2024 The Declaration of Independence, which Americans will celebrate in a couple of weeks, points out that everyone is endowed with natural, God-given rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life necessarily encompasses the right to sustain one’s life through labor. Liberty necessarily encompasses entering into mutually beneficial economic transactions with others. The pursuit of happiness necessarily ...

Update on the Gershkovich Case by Jacob G. Hornberger June 14, 2024 After keeping Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich jailed for more than a year on charges of espionage, Russian authorities released a statement yesterday alleging, according to the Journal, that Gershkovich “was gathering information about a defense contractor on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency.” The Journal added, “In fact, Gershkovich was on a reporting assignment for the ...
Gradualism and the Non-Aggression Principle by Jacob G. Hornberger June 13, 2024 The core principle of the libertarian philosophy is what is known as the non-aggression principle. It holds that it is morally wrong for one person to initiate force against another person, either directly or indirectly through the use of government. Libertarians understand the critical importance of the non-aggression principle and subscribe to it … mostly. Let’s assume that ...
