In the Preamble to the Constitution, where the Framers both introduced the document and explained its purpose, the very first goal was to “establish justice”. Noah Webster defined justice as “The virtue which consists in giving to every one what is his due”. Today, we are witnessing the collapse of justice, of the rule of law, at the federal level. While our history is replete with examples that the rule of law was was stumbling, recent evidence shows the foundations of justice crumbling right before our eyes. If the foundation of justice falls, how long before domestic tranquility, the common defense, and the general welfare that is built upon it falls as well?
Testimony from Director Wray shows that the FBI now stands for the Federal Bureau of Intimidation. Then we have the pitiful investigation by the Secret Service into the cocaine found at the Whitehouse, and the failure to find leaker of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision. Not to mention the failure to identify the January 6th pipe bomber while reports of the inhumane conditions of some of those accused of crimes on that date go unresolved. Add to that the actions of Attorney General Garland and the rest of the Department of Injustice, and we see a pattern of attacks not only on the rule of law, but on the foundations of Americans rights and liberty.
One might say that America has fallen from a Constitutional Republic into a banana republic, but that would be an insult to banana republics! - 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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

We all have things we wish for. Maybe a car, a home, or a nice vacation. While those are generally safe wishes, we really should take some time to consider the second and third-order consequences of those wishes. Which leads to the axiom, “Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.” - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Recent actions by the Trump Department of Justice are a sharp turn from what we’ve seen over the past few years. Are these attempts to correct pervious errors, or are they just more political activism in federal law enforcement? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

When is discrimination not discrimination? While the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals would have you think that reverse discrimination is not only legal, but OK. However, discrimination is discrimination, even when it’s used in an attempt to right some past wrong.
