As a fan of the Science Fiction genre for decades, I’ve read several books and seen several movies where the protagonist ends up in a parallel universe or another timeline where things look the same but are completely different.
That’s exactly how I feel when I look at America today, the buildings look the same, but the society looks nothing like the land of the free I knew in my youth.
I imagine it’s what many of the people felt after the Bolsheviks took over after the Russian Revolution. However, while the Russians went from one form of tyranny to another, the shock of watching this country mutate from a land that promoted freedom, justice, and self-government to one that is destructive to all three is a level of culture shock I never thought I would experience.
As I watch people argue about the minutia, I ask myself, what does the future look like for the Bolshevik States of America?

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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 may have different ideas about the purpose of government, but I think a close look will show that it’s all about the money. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Contrary to what the Supreme Court believed in both the Roe and Dobbs decisions, the question of abortion has not been settled in the United States. The case of First Choice v. Davenport shows just how far some states will go to oppose the pro-life movement.

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you take some time today to thank the family of our fallen heros. Because it’s not just the soldier, sailor, airman, or marine who has given the last full measure of devotion, but their families as well. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
