What are your rights worth? What would it take for you to give up your liberty? Most people I talk to say they place a high value on things like freedom, liberty, and their rights, but do our actions match our rhetoric? It's one thing when government pays you for the rights they infringe on, either with cash or services. What about when they simply walk up and take it? Those in government often claim they do it because it is necessary. But as William Pitt (the Younger) said, "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." So I ask you, are you following the creed of slaves, or will you stand up and defend your rights? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @cyberengel.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

As I’ve frequently pointed out here, most of Washington’s control comes from the bribery of both states and the individuals who lives in those states. To paraphrase an old saying, live by the bribe, die by the bribe. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

When is the use of lethal force legal in the United State? In every state of the union, lethal force can be used to protect an innocent part from an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. But is that the only time? A recently signed bill in Tennessee defines other situations where deadly force can lawfully be used within the state.

I often talk about how citizens have much more influence over state and local governments than over the federal one. Let’s look at some examples of the power of state and local governments. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
