When he was running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, John Edwards repeatedly stated that there were two Americas, one for the rich and another for the poor. While there may be a kernel of truth to that statement, it its core it was another hyperbolic class warfare trope designed to curry favor and votes.
Today, it is quite obvious that there are two Americas today, one for the politically connected and another for everyone eles. That’s not to say political partisanship never placed their thumbs on the scales of justice, but today, it has come out from behind the curtain and taken its place front and center on the public stage.
What are We the People to do? How can we avoid the double standard without ignoring a person’s unique situation. How can we have equal justice under that law without becoming a legalistic nightmare. Can we be compassionate without becoming sentimental? In the Constitution, we see that one of the goals of the document is to establish justice. How do we do that without becoming Inspector Javert from Les Misérables? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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