Just Leave Cuba Alone by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2021 Unfortunately, Joe Biden is your prime example of a standard Washington, D.C., politician. As such, as president he will just accept the status quo, defer to the national-security establishment, and do his best to make the welfare-warfare state function efficiently. That means that the U.S. policy of interventionism and regime change toward Cuba will continue ...
The Moral Bankruptcy of the Left on Foreign Policy by Jacob G. Hornberger February 19, 2021 Two recent articles in the mainstream press reflect the moral bankruptcy of the left when it comes to U.S. foreign policy.

How We Achieve Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger February 18, 2021 As America plunges deeper into the darkness of welfare-warfare statism, the question naturally arises: How are we libertarians going to achieve freedom? Of course, the preliminary question is: Is it possible to achieve a genuinely free society? Have things gotten so bad that we should just give up and resign ourselves to simply reforming the ...
The Anti-Terrorism Screws Tighten on the American People by Jacob G. Hornberger February 17, 2021 According to a recent article in the Washington Post, in the aftermath of the January 6 melee at the Capitol there are increasing calls for the U.S. government’s Department of Homeland Security to “play a more muscular role in combating domestic extremism.” The article points out that up to this point, DHS has been “responsible ...
The Supreme Court Declared the Minimum Wage Unconstitutional by Jacob G. Hornberger February 16, 2021 I wonder how many Americans realize that the U.S. Supreme Court once declared the minimum wage to be in violation of U.S. Constitution. This occurred in 1923 in a case entitled Adkins v. Children’s Hospital. In a 5-3 decision in that case, the Supreme Court held that a minimum wage law enacted by the District ...
The Omnipotent Power to Assassinate by Jacob G. Hornberger February 12, 2021 It goes without saying that the Constitution called into existence a government with few, limited powers. That was the purpose of enumerating the powers of the federal government. If the Constitution was bringing into existence a government of unlimited or omnipotent powers, then there would have been no point in enumerating a few limited powers. In that ...

Libertarian Silence on the Kennedy Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger February 8, 2021 One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Kennedy assassination is the silence among conservative, reform-oriented libertarians on the national-security state’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy. What’s up with that? After all, wouldn’t you think that a domestic regime-change operation against a U.S. president would be something every libertarian would be condemning, even ...

Was Fraud in the 2020 Election Inconceivable? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 4, 2021 One of the fascinating aspects of the 2020 presidential election fraud brouhaha was the mainstream media’s certainty that there was no fraud, without even performing the semblance of an investigation.
