Much Ado About the Postal Monopoly by Jacob G. Hornberger August 20, 2020 It is so funny watching Republicans and Democrats fighting over the Postal Service.

Should Snowden and Assange Pardon the U.S. Government? by Jacob G. Hornberger August 19, 2020 President Trump is saying that he might issue a pardon to Edward Snowden.

The CIA’s Longstanding Relationship with Crime by Jacob G. Hornberger August 13, 2020 From the time that the CIA secretly hired former members of the Nazi regime after World War II, one could predict that things were not going to go in a good direction, at least not in a moral sense.

Hornberger August 12, 2020 We have seen President Trump’s dictatorial tendencies in the past, such as when he diverted Pentagon slush money to build his Berlin Wall along the border, or when he launched his vicious and destructive trade war against China, or when he raised taxes (i.e., tariffs) on the American people.
