I’ve said before that probably the most important question to ask is why?
Which is why it’s also one of the hardest questions to answer.
So when I see some of what’s been on the news lately, the first question I ask myself is, “Why?”
Take, for example, the recent acts by Anheuser-Busch, Target, and the LA Dodgers. Why would corporations be willing to lose millions of dollars to support a political agenda? Why would organizations that depend on freedom of speech work to suppress “misinformation”?
There is a reason, but I think the one I’ve come up with may not be what you’ve heard so far. Look at the news. Look at what has happened to these groups and organizations, and I think the answer becomes pretty clear. Some promote these agendas because they believe the ends justify the means, so anything they can do to promote their agenda is justified. The rest are afraid of what those zealots may do.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

As the United States goes through the longest government shutdown in history, there has been plenty of finger pointing on both sides. We the People should really stop and think who to assign blame for the mess we’re in. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
