I was listening to a comedian the other day. She was talking to a group of millennials and pointed out that she could take out the entire generation with a jar of peanuts. After I stopped laughing, I started thinking, that doesn’t seem to be as outrageous as you might think.
Thinking back, very few children seemed to have peanut allergies when I was a child. Now they no longer serve peanuts on airlines because of allergies.
I look back at my grandparents, in-laws, and even my parents and realize just how hard their lives were when compared to ours, and I’m reminded of the quote, “Good times make weak men.” I’ll never forget when, in my 40s, going out to collect hay with my 70-year-old father-in-law, he could work me into the ground.
When I was young, taking charity or “being on the dole” was considered shameful. Now in some locations, it’s actually encouraged.
How many young people, and not-so-young people, could survive today without cell phones, internet access, and places to run and hide from reality?
Ask yourself, how long could you survive without the modern convinces of electricity, indoor plumbing, and a grocery store in every town? Have we become so dependent on modern conveniences that we would give up our liberty to keep them?

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

I don’t care what idiots like Mayor Frey, Chuck Schumer, and others say, my prayers go out for the victims of the Annunciation School shooting, and theirs families. Because there is nothing else man can do in the face of such evil. Not just the evil of the twisted dude who shot up a school. But the evil of those who are once again using tragedy to promote a political agenda. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
