I am disgusted by recent events around Uvalde, Texas. While the shooter’s actions are awful, those who are using this tragedy for political or monetary gains are the true ghouls in this story.
American society has been getting sicker and sicker for decades. This is shown not simply by the acts of depravity and violence, but by people’s reaction to it. The willingness to ignore the cesspool that so much of society has become is bad enough, but to use such tragedies to promote an agenda is a callousness I never thought I would see in the American people.

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

There are plenty of court cases claiming violations of the First Amendment. As I’ve shown, most of those have nothing to do with the First Amendment, but that doesn’t mean Congress doesn’t violate it regularly. Let me introduce you to The Petition Clause.
