America, and in fact, the world, is turning into a dystopia somewhere between Huxley’s Brave New World and Orwell’s 1984, with a little Animal Farm thrown in just for fun. As another example of this fall into tyranny, I give you America’s Thought Police. Orwell’s Thought Police was a group that monitored what people said and did, arresting them for thought crimes.
Today, we have government agencies working with media, big tech, and other corporations to not only silence dissent but ensure you are not exposed to ideas that go against progressive political ideology. If the idea of thought police and thought crimes in America doesn’t frighten you, I suggest you read Orwell’s 1984 for a view of what life is like under such a regime.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

We may have different ideas about the purpose of government, but I think a close look will show that it’s all about the money. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Contrary to what the Supreme Court believed in both the Roe and Dobbs decisions, the question of abortion has not been settled in the United States. The case of First Choice v. Davenport shows just how far some states will go to oppose the pro-life movement.

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you take some time today to thank the family of our fallen heros. Because it’s not just the soldier, sailor, airman, or marine who has given the last full measure of devotion, but their families as well. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
