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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

Alexis DeTocqueville famously said “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” Not only have Congress learned that lesson, but so has the President, Vice President, and pretty much every member of government. What is a government tyrant to do when bribery doesn’t work? Why intimidation of course. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The United States is supposed to be a nation of laws, not of men. So how do we deal with all of the examples of people either ignoring the law, our out right opposing it?
When the people we hire to enforce the law instead break the law, that is next level betrayal. It’s one of the reasons why good cops hate corrupt cops so much. What if it’s not the cops who are corrupt? What if it’s an entire government? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The nation, and in fact the entire western world, has been dealing with a resurgence of anti-semitism. This of course is nothing new. The history of anti-semitism goes back before the days of Christ. While its prominence waxes and wanes, in the United States we have an interesting conundrum. What happens when a persons' freedom of religion conflicts this another freedom of speech? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
