I’m beginning to think all government programs should come with a warning label, just like the ones on cigarettes.
You may think I’m being hyperbolic, but look at how many programs that were created to help us are now used to harm We the People.
As Ronald Reagan said, “[A] government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!”
So as we watch an ever-growing government taking control of more and more of our lives, would it really be outrageous to post a sign in all the offices, a notice on all of the correspondence, and an acceptance popup on all the websites for these government programs that say something like:
WARNING! This government program may be hazardous to your health, happiness, and prosperity.
Proceed at your own risk!

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

There are plenty of things we hear in life we wish we could silence. However, if we truly believe in freedom of speech, the answer is almost always more speech, not less. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

You’ve heard the saying, “Payback is a…”, Well you know what I mean. I’m guessing that one of the reasons why so many people fought so hard to defeat Trump in 2024 was the fear of payback for what was done to him in his first term in office. I guess you could say this is a case of Arctic Frost Bite! - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
