Claiming that the planet needs “bold big climate action,” Democrats Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) from New York have reintroduced their fanciful left-wing wish list, the Green New Deal. The two made a joint announcement on Thursday.
Additionally, Markey and House Democrat Ro Khanna from California brought forth a companion “treatment plan” called the Green New Deal for Health, which will focus on “reimagining a health care system that is prepared and empowered to protect the health and well-being of our workers, our communities, and our planet.”
AOC touted the Inflation Reduction Act as a kind of first salvo in the climate war.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

America has become an extremely litigious society. Not just because we have more attorney’s than doctors, but because most Americans, including those attorneys, don’t understand the supreme law of the land. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

With all of the rhetoric about the government “shutdown”, one would reasonably believe that the world is coming to an end because of the arrogance of the political parties. However, for the most part, this shutdown hasn’t roared over the lives of the American people, it’s meowed. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

When it comes to freedom of speech, there are two things that generate a fair amount of controversy. First is yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater and second is burning the United States flag. Recently, Donald Trump issued an Executive Order about flag burning. So let's take a look at the order and some of the history around flag burning.
