Advertisers say that “sex sells.” Well, in the 21st century, it’s also become the infamous “third rail” of politics. From giving children “how-to” lessons in school to providing special protections for certain sexual agendas. From SOGI laws to laws prohibiting so-called “conversion therapy,” it seems society and the law have worked like a one-way valve or a ratchet, only allowing movement in a single direction.
With the possible exception of the recent Dobbs decision, it appears that the only direction society is moving is toward endorsing more and more self-described sexual “rights” at the expense not only of the rights of the majority, but of the destruction of the rule of law. In other words, in the 21st century, it appears you only have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness if it somehow involves sex.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

James Madison wrote in Federalist #47 about the dangers of an accumulation of powers. Even a cursory look at politics in the United States shows We the People did not heed Madison’s warning. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
