One of the grievances the signers of the Declaration of Independence had against King George was "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." While technically not an army, which Noah Webster defines as "A collection or body of men armed for war, and organized in companies, battalions, regiments, brigades and divisions, under proper officers.", a quick look at modern police forces makes me wonder. Does it make a difference if the body of men and women are organized in companies, battalions, regiments, etc. or in squads, precincts, and districts? Does it matter that federal law enforcement is kept among us without the consent of our state legislatures? Based on the recent actions of the FBI, ATF, and DOJ, along with the legislation to expand the law enforcement arm of the IRS, I have to ask. Has the federal government turned America into a police state or are they merely keeping standing armies among us? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngelLIVE http://rdo.to/TALKLOUD

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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 seen government actors get things wrong. I’ve seen government actors make mistakes. But rarely have I seen government actors this certifiably crazy. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

I don’t care what idiots like Mayor Frey, Chuck Schumer, and others say, my prayers go out for the victims of the Annunciation School shooting, and theirs families. Because there is nothing else man can do in the face of such evil. Not just the evil of the twisted dude who shot up a school. But the evil of those who are once again using tragedy to promote a political agenda. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
