It seems most Americans believe in rights and liberty, that is, until they don’t get their way. Have you ever considered what right you have to impose your will on others? That is the issue in a complaint against Yeshiva University in New York City. Can the City and State of New York force this Jewish university to violate its core beliefs by officially recognizing and supporting a student group whose stated purpose is to change the religious nature of the university?
When does protecting one person’s rights involve infringing on the rights of another? And when is it OK to do so? These are perennial questions in America, ones that have garnered a lot of attention and several Supreme Court cases over the last decade or so. Today, I want to look at another example, one that is still making its way through the courts. The case of Yeshiva University v YU Pride Alliance questions whether or not New York City’s Human Rights Law can be used to override the Freedom of Religion of a religious school, those who own and operate it, and even the students who attend it.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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 live in a world of contradictions. We call ourselves the land of the free, but subject ourselves to government actors who frequently claim tyrannical powers over us. So I ask you, who really is in charge? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

I’ve talked before about the unitary executive. However, a recent case before the Supreme Court brings into question not only whether or not the President has the power to fire employees in the executive branch, but the very structure of the federal government.

There are three types of lies; lies, darn lies, and statistics. Far too often, people lie claiming opinions are facts, frequently claiming statistics to support their position. Today, I want to look at some of these opinions, the statistics around them, and the search for facts as to whether or not they are true. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
