Ban the FDA Rather than Menthol Cigarettes by Jacob G. Hornberger May 7, 2021 While many states are finally re-legalizing marijuana, the Food and Drug Administration is planning to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes. The reason?

If the concern is cigarette smoking and cancer, why ...

He says that U.S. forces will exit the country by next September 11. That’s a good thing. And it is long overdue. But there is one big problem with Biden’s timetable: It violates an agreement that the U.S. government entered ...

Reform versus Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger April 28, 2021 When new libertarians join the libertarian movement, they are inevitably hit with a fork in the road, one that all of us libertarians have confronted after discovering libertarianism. That fork is this: Should I become a libertarian reformer or should I become an advocate of liberty? No matter how much the reform crowd might protest, reform is ...
The Managed Economy Destroys the First Amendment by Jacob G. Hornberger April 27, 2021 The First Amendment guarantees people the right of free speech. It is a restriction on the power of the federal government to punish people for criticizing federal officials or for saying things that the government doesn’t like. Why did our ancestors want the Constitution amended in that way? Because they were certain that the federal ...

Why the Embargo Against Cuba? by Jacob G. Hornberger April 23, 2021 Now that Cuban president Raul Castro has resigned the presidency of Cuba, will the U.S. government lift its six-decades-long economic embargo against Cuba? Don’t count it.

The Terrorist Haven Fallacy on Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger April 20, 2021 Interventionists are saying that U.S. forces need to stay in Afghanistan because otherwise that country will, once again, become a “haven” for anti-American terrorists. They still just don’t get it. It never ceases to amaze me how blind and obtuse interventionists can be. Anti-American terrorism is not like the flu or like Covid-19. It doesn’t ...

Biden Is Doing the Pentagon’s Bidding on Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger April 16, 2021 For those who are tempted to praise President Biden for supposedly standing up to the Pentagon and the CIA by announcing a pull-out of the remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan, resist those temptations. There is no way that Biden, who has long been an integral part of the Washington, D.C., establishment, is going to buck the U.S. ...

Hornberger April 15, 2021 In December 2019, the Washington Post published an article detailing many of the lies that U.S. officials have issued throughout their entire war on Afghanistan.
