Yesterday I talked about how many Americans are stuck as emotional infants, and, therefore, unable to deal with disagreement, disappointment, and facts. Sometimes this shows up as a simple unwillingness to acknowledge information they do not like, other times as a full-on temper tantrum. Yesterday, I focused on how those in the progressive movement dealt with violence, crime, and safety.
Today I want to look at the full-on temper tantrums that have accompanied the Supreme Court’s recent decision in the Dobbs case. Hopefully, this will show that those who call themselves “progressives” really want to regress into the infantile state of utter dependence on someone else.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

When the government, in the form of the police, damage your property, who pays for it? In the case of VIcki Baker v. City of McKinney, TX the police had to damage her property to apprehend a fleeing felon. However, when the city refused to pay for the damages, Ms. Baker sued. The District Court found for her, but the Circuit Court overturned. When she asked the Supreme Court to review, they declined certiorari. Two justices expressed concern about the prospect of the government damaging homes without paying compensation.

If there’s one thing that seems to describe the current generation of our society, it is an unwillingness to take responsibility for our actions. Don’t prepare for you retirement? Let government do it. Unprepared to educate your children? Government will take care of that. Want a certain medical treatment? First get government to mandate and pay for it, then, when the program fails, have government pay for the consequences. However, every so often, people are forced to take responsibility for their actions. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

With his tag-line, “Make America Great Again” and the lesson’s learned from his first administration, no one should really be surprised that Donald Trump has hit the ground at an absolutely blistering pace. Even before he took the oath of office, world leaders were looking to Trump for guidance. So let’s look at some of the latest examples of Trump’s attempts to “Make America Great Again”. I cannot say I think all of them are constitutional, but we won’t know until we take a look at them. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
