End the Draft Permanently
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jun 18, 2021 | Featured Articles
Recently the US Supreme Court declined to consider a challenge to the all-male draft. The plaintiffs in the case argued that excluding women from the draft was unconstitutional. Apparently the Court is simply letting Congress decide the issue. I’ve got an idea — an...
Old and New Official Enemies

How We Got Omnipotent Government
by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 22, 2021 | Featured Articles

Will Biden Have Blood on His Hands in Afghanistan?
by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 7, 2021 | Featured Articles
President Biden has announced that America’s forever war in Afghanistan is finally coming to an end. He says that US 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...
The Terrorist Haven Fallacy on Afghanistan
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Apr 21, 2021 | Featured Articles
Interventionists are saying that US 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...
The Banality of Evil on Sanctions
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Mar 25, 2021 | Featured Articles
The banality of evil within the mainstream press when it comes to actions carried out by the US national-security establishment never ceases to amaze me. The latest example appears in the New York Times in an investigative piece that absolutely stunned me. The piece...

The Omnipotent Power to Assassinate
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Feb 12, 2021 | Featured Articles
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...
Milking the Capitol Melee for All It’s Worth
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jan 21, 2021 | Featured Articles
Not surprisingly, leftists are milking the January 6 Capitol melee for all its worth. There is a simple reason for that: they wish to use it to introduce a new wave of domestic tyranny into America, just as Republicans did after the 9/11 attacks. In fact, I wouldn’t...
Anomalies in the Capitol Melee
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jan 19, 2021 | Featured Articles
Somebody needs to get a memo to the FBI and the US Attorneys in charge of arresting and prosecuting the people involved in the January 6 melee at the Capitol. At this point, all I see is that these people are being charged with offenses like trespass, disorderly...

Here Comes the Post- ‘Invasion’ Crackdown
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jan 13, 2021 | Featured Articles
Just as thunder follows lightning, you can rest assured that Democrats, the Deep State, and the mainstream press are going to use recent events at the Capitol to crack down on civil liberties. Why let a good opportunity to expand governmental power go to waste? Why,...
The Biggest Scam in History
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jan 12, 2021 | Featured Articles
Soon after US officials declared their “war on terrorism” some 20 years ago, I wrote that this new war was likely to last longer than the “war on drugs.” There is a simple reason for that: the supply of “terrorists” would be endless, for two reasons: (1) the US...
