Two warrantless ATF agents and a state trooper visited a Delaware gun owner on July 12 and asked to see his recently bought guns. They told the man the home visit was part of a straw purchase investigation.
Straw purchases are a federal crime where a person buys a firearm or firearms for another person who cannot legally buy firearms themselves. The crime is punishable by up to $250,000 in fines and 10 years in prison.
The entire interaction was recorded on the gun owner’s doorbell camera.
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

I’ve been asked a few times lately about sovereignty in America. This is often asked expecting a binary answer, either this or that is sovereign. However, life is rarely that simple. That said, the answer is still pretty simple, and very important to understanding a lot of news today. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

I cannot count how many times I've said it, but words mean things. It's one of the reasons I keep referring back to documents to see the actual words used so I can find their definitions. In the case Garland v. VanDerStok, the issue seems to come down not just to what the definition of a firearm is, but who gets to decide. What seemed to be forgotten in the oral arguments is the fact that, an arm by any other name, is still protected by the Second Amendment.

“School days, school days, dear old golden rule days.” Remember when school was about learning the basics. You know, reading, writing, and arithmetic? Today, not only have schools been captured by anti-liberty education complex, but a regulatory system more focused on political interests than preparing children to be good citizens of a free nation. We shouldn’t be surprised. After all, the “public” schools are run by the same governments that use regulation to regulate a free people into subjugation and servitude, why not start when they’re young? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
