Sometimes, we can’t see the forest for the trees. We focus so much on one thing we miss everything else around it. For example, we focus so much on everything that’s wrong with America, and we sometimes forget that millions of people every year don’t run from here; they come here.
I’m old enough to remember the Cold War. I remember people risking being shot crossing the Berlin Wall, shark-infested waters in rickety rafts, and even being shot in front of a firing squad just for trying to get to America. We were proud to be Americans. We knew we weren’t perfect, but we were proud not only of what we had achieved but what we had brought to the world, liberty, freedom, and arms to defend them.
Today, millions of people are still trying to get to America. So many that we have to turn many of them away, or at least that is what the law says. Yet it appears American Pride is falling. Is it because America has become the racist and intolerant nation so many accuse us of? Is it because anyone here doesn’t have the chance to become President, a rich tycoon, or whatever they want to be? Or is it because we spend so much time looking at our problems we can’t see the blessings of living in this country?

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

After four years of censorship by the federal government, and countless more from “corporate media”, many think that freedom of speech will flourish once again in America. However, while free speech is on the rise, it’s future is not as secure as you may think. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Just when you think DOGE has gotten to the bottom of the barrel, they find more barrel. I’d say “If you want to get out of a hole, stop digging.” But I’ve been so happy at all of the waste, fraud, and abuse that’s been discovered. Now all we need to happen is for those in government to actually learn from these exposure and stop wasting our money. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The United States is supposed to be a nation of laws, not of men. However, over the decades, the laws of this nation have been taken over not only by bureaucrats and politicians, but by judges. Judges who, by the way, almost always place the opinions of other judges above the supreme law of the land. Which begs the question, are we a nation of laws or of courts? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
