I went to bed election night, reminding myself of a movie I saw when I was a kid called “Keystone Cops.” I thought this was ironic, seeing the number of problems coming out of Pennsylvania, which is the keystone state. Imagine how I felt the morning after as reports of election problems from several states kept showing up in my news feed. You would think, after the 2020 elections, the American people would have learned their lesson. Apparently not.
This all prompts me to want to place a sign next to all polling places instructing voters to firmly apply their heads to a brick wall before entering. It won’t fix the problem, but the imagery made me feel better…

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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’m seeing more and more people claiming that the sea of changes we’ve seen lately are a response to the upcoming Donald Trump presidency. While some of that seems obvious, I believe a lot of what we're seeing is not so much a turn toward Trump and MAGA, but a turning away from Biden and woke. The question we need to ask, is this a fad or a sign of the future? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

For four years the democrats have called anyone who questioned the 2020 presidential election an “election denier” and those who protested “insurrectionists”. So here in 2024, with the substantial win by Donald Trump, we can expect those same democrats to accept their loss and live with the consequences, right? It doesn’t look like it. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

One thing I was taught as a child was to be a good loser. Truth is, we’re not always going to win, and how you lose says a lot about your character. But we’ve spent decades “protecting” our children from losing, and what is the outcome of this overprotectiveness? Generations of Americans that don’t know how to lose gracefully.
Some of you may be thinking of January 6th, 2021, and to some extent you’d be correct. While there was nothing wrong with demonstrating your belief that the election was stolen, but some went to far, either on their own or with instigation doesn’t matter, adults should know better than to attempt to get their way by initiating violence. That said, there are plenty of examples of sore losers on both sides. Today however, the sore losers all seem to be on one side of the political divide. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
