Most of us have had a parent ask us, “If you’re friends jumped off a cliff, would you follow them?” There are studies showing the power of peer pressure, and I’m sure all of us know of someone who “Fell in with a bad crowd.” Does this tendency to be swayed by bad ideas only exist in childhood, or is it something endemic to the human race?
Many people refer to Washington, D.C. as a swamp, a wretched hive of scum and villainy that sucks people down into the depths of its depravity. More and more it appears that the swamp creature of power has taken over those we hire to exercise our power in our name. Who is worse, the bad actor or the employer who keeps hiring the bad actors? In 1 Corinthians 15:33, Paul says “Evil company corrupts good habits.” Will the American people simply stand by while evil company in our midst corrupt the good habits that made us a great nation? - 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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

No matter how often they fail, it seems people are still looking for a government program to save the day. They may have good intentions, but we know what road is paved with those. It seems, no matter what government programs we come up with, eventually We the People will be punished for them. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

In a republic, the people elect others to represent them. For that to be legitimate, those elections must be free, fair, and transparent. That is why, every so often, it’s a good idea to look at the state of our elections. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Albert Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. I guess Americans are insane, because we never seem to learn our lesson. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
