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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

We all know that in this country we are considered innocent until proven guilty. At least we’re supposed to be. However, things don’t always work that way. So I want to take some time today and look at why the concept of innocent until proven guilty is not only important, but a critical part of liberty. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The good news is, we live in a time of overflowing information. That bad news is, we live in a time of overflowing information. Yes, we have access to the wealth of human knowledge in the palm of our hands, but it is also easy to construct an information bubble, where we only access information we already agree with. What happens when facts and the law are subverted in favor of our preferred narrative? Nothing good. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

There are plenty of people who say “knowledge is power”, but is that true? People “know” a lot of things, but does that give them power or is it just an illusion? Today, I want to look at some of the more interesting recent events, see what knowledge we what power we can gain from it. After all, knowing something is only powerful if you can use it, and it is only good if it is true. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
