Seven Days in May by Jacob G. Hornberger May 31, 2022 Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times published an op-ed entitled, “Why Does the Pentagon Give a Helping Hand to Films Like ‘Top Gun’?” by Roger Stahl, a communication studies professor at the University of Georgia and director of the documentary film “Theaters of War: How the Pentagon and CIA Took Hollywood.” The op-ed pointed out that if a proposed film does not meet with the approval of the Pentagon and the CIA, it will probably not get made. Moreover, according to 30,000 documents from the Department of Defense that Stahl and his team of researchers secured under the Freedom of Information Act, “the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency have exercised direct editorial control over more than 2,500 films and television shows.” Burt Lancaster There is one film from the early 1960s that did not meet with the approval of the Pentagon and ...

Yay! Biden Lengthens Our Leashes on Cuba by Jacob G. Hornberger May 20, 2022 Out of the goodness of his heart, President Biden has just lengthened our leashes when it comes to Cuba. Isn’t that just so nice? Isn’t it great to live under a nice, benevolent democratically elected dictator rather than a cruel and brutal one? Biden is issuing executive decrees permitting more U.S. flights into Cuba, removing caps on ...

What We Need is a New Direction for America by Jacob G. Hornberger May 5, 2022 If John Kennedy were president today, there never would have been a Russian invasion of Ukraine. That’s because of two things: (1) Kennedy’s unique ability to step into the shoes of an adversary in an attempt to resolve a disagreement; and (2) Kennedy’s willingness to stand up against the Pentagon and the CIA and their fierce anti-Russia animus ...
Is It “Disloyal” to “Side with Russia”? by Jacob G. Hornberger May 2, 2022 Last week, I received an email from a conservative-oriented libertarian who suggested to me that it is disloyal to “side with Russia” because Ukraine was “just sitting there” when it was invaded by Russia. Are you kidding me? “Just sitting there”? As in just innocently minding its own business? I don’t think so. Sure, most everyone would ...
Restore Our Republic by Jacob G. Hornberger May 1, 2022 As predictable as thunder following lightning, former CIA director Robert Gates recently declared that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s increasing assertiveness demonstrate the need for the U.S. government to remain an ever-growing, more powerful national-security state. Gates’s declaration appeared in an op-ed in the March 3, 2022, issue of the Washington Post. He also pointed to Iran and ...
JFK’s Rejection of the Anti-Russia Animus by Jacob G. Hornberger April 28, 2022 Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger is going ballistic over comments made by fellow congressman Rand Paul and Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson that supposedly suggest a support of Russia in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war. Never mind that neither Paul nor Tucker said any such thing. And never mind that the United States is ostensibly not ...
Remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis by Jacob G. Hornberger April 21, 2022 George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Let’s remember the Cuban Missile Crisis in order to better understand the situation in Ukraine. In 1898, the U.S. went to war against Spain in an ostensible attempt to help Cuba and other Spanish colonies achieve their independence. It turned out to ...
Confronting Evil Here at Home by Jacob G. Hornberger April 13, 2022 Americans have no difficulty identifying and confronting evil when it is found in foreign regimes. A good example is Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. Most every American is easily able to identify the evil of that invasion and is more than willing to confront and oppose it. But as I point out in my new book An ...
Why Didn’t Trump Pardon Assange and Snowden? by Jacob G. Hornberger April 12, 2022 In his waning days as president, Donald Trump saw fit to pardon four former Blackwater guards who had been convicted of killing 14 Iraqi civilians and injuring 17 others in an ambush in Baghdad. The guards were in Iraq as part of the U.S. government’s deadly and destructive invasion, war of aggression, and long-term occupation of a country ...
