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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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’re all familiar with Gene Kranz’s famous line, “Failure is not an option!” What the Apollo 13 team did not fail, there are plenty of situations today where it appears that failure is the only option. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

There is a quote pretty much sums up a recent Supreme Court decision regarding your healthcare.
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Sir Walter Scott
In the case Kennedy v Braidwood Management, inc. we see the tangled web the United States has woven when it practiced to deceive by claiming the power to regulate what is covered by your health insurance.

The First Amendment prevents Congress from, among other things, keeping you from petitioning your government for a redress of your grievances. This process most often comes in the form of a law suit. Based on our current legal system, one has to ask, has our right to petition turned into a litigious nightmare? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
