At this point, it should be common sense that boxes of sugary, processed cereals are the furthest one can get from a healthy breakfast. Major food manufacturers behind Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, and Lucky Charms are threatening to sue so they can label their processed products “healthy” anyway.
Last fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed new guidelines on what may define a product as “healthy” to warrant the label on packages.
“Nutrition is key to improving our nation’s health,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in an agency press release. “Healthy food can lower our risk for chronic disease. But too many people may not know what constitutes healthy food. FDA’s move will help educate more Americans to improve health outcomes, tackle health disparities and save lives.”
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

As the United States goes through the longest government shutdown in history, there has been plenty of finger pointing on both sides. We the People should really stop and think who to assign blame for the mess we’re in. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Most of us believe that our state legislatures are making our laws. But what if that is only partially true? What if a third-party was making the laws for your state? Would you be OK with that? Would you be concerned to find out that two private entities are making the laws your state uses regarding commerce?
