I’ve been studying the Constitution for several years, and the Bible for decades before that. As you might imagine, I’ve learned a lot about how to effectively study. One of the most important of those skills is to spot gossip being used as evidence to prove an argument.
Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines gossip as “To run about and tattle; to tell idle tales”, and let me tell you, there are plenty of idle tales told about the Constitution of the United States. The best way I’ve found to weed out such gossip actually comes from the Bible.
Since I’ve studied the Bible much longer than the Constitution, it should be no surprise that I first learned this technique from a verse of Scripture, Act chapter 17, verses 10-11:
“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” I recommend we take some time, listen to what is being said, the go to the Constitution to see if what we are being told is true.” - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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 don’t know who said it, but the saying “A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.” is very true. And it’s quite frustrating hearing a lie repeated over and over again, knowing, even having evidence that it’s not true. But when the truth comes out, it is very satisfying. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The Found Fathers created a central government with limited and enumerated powers. What happens when We the People not only allow that government to go far beyond those legitimate powers, but demand that it do so? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Who decides what treatment is best for your child? Most people expect the government to protect children from dangerous treatments, even if their parents want it. But shouldn't the government need to prove harm beyond a reasonable doubt before criminalizing treatment? Sadly, that is not the question before the court in the case Chiles v. Salazar. Rather, it is a twisted attempt to use the First Amendment to strike down this Colorado law.
