A former lawyer for Jacob Chansley, who became widely known as the “QAnon Shaman” for his unusual headdress during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, said Wednesday that recently released footage on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show could have aided his case.
Albert Watkins, the former attorney, told Carlson that he never saw recently aired Jan. 6 footage that appeared to show Chansley walking next to U.S. Capitol Police officers without incident, and at one point, officers even opening doors for him. Chansley became one of the faces of the Jan. 6 breach due to his distinctive appearance as he donned face paint and wore a horned cap while carrying an American flag through the halls of Congress.
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

Benjamin Franklin wrote “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” What does it say about the American people who seem willing to give up their right to control their government in exchange for Internet access?

I don’t have a crystal ball, and I don’t know the future. But if we look at our recent history and our society today, I don’t think it would be too hard to guess what America’s future might look like. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet, “that which we call a rose By Any Other Name would smell as sweet” So what’s the big deal if Donald Trump renames the Pentagon and the Department of Defense? Do the names really matter? What would you say if we started calling good bad and bad good? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
