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 everyone 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 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 built upon it also fall?
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 White House and the failure to find the 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 accused of crimes 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!

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

When it comes to freedom of speech, there are two things that generate a fair amount of controversy. First is yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater and second is burning the United States flag. Recently, Donald Trump issued an Executive Order about flag burning. So let's take a look at the order and some of the history around flag burning.
It seems most people look to the federal government to fix every problem. I think that’s because they are under the false impression that the federal government can do anything it wants. This has led to a lot pain and suffering over the years. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

I’m not sure if there have been more acts of violence lately, or they’ve just been covered more in the media. What many of these acts have in common may surprise you. While there are plenty of people complaining about the gun, I think the problem is our immaturity. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
