The Biden administration turned up the heat on budget ceiling negotiations set for May 16 by releasing a pair of statements highlighting the urgency of a possible default on the nation’s financial obligations and detailing the spending cuts necessary to meet Republican budget targets.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had notified Congress on May 15 that the Treasury would lack the funds to meet all U.S. financial obligations by “early June, and potentially as early as June 1” if the debt ceiling were not increased. She raised the temperature further in remarks to a group of independent community bankers on May 16.
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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 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?

Freedom of religion, or freedom of conscience, is essential to a free society. After all, how can you call yourself free if someone else is telling you what you need to believe and how you need to prove it? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Most people are familiar with Proverbs 22:6:
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."
Looking at the world around us, it looks like generations of children have NOT been trained to be free. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
