The Biden administration, in its latest attempt to push car manufacturers towards transitioning to electric vehicles, is proposing higher fuel economy standards for gas-powered cars.
The new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, unveiled on Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), mandate that all new vehicles sold in the United States meet a 58-mile-per-gallon average fuel economy by 2032. This means automakers would have to improve fuel efficiency by 2 percent each year for passenger cars and 4 percent each year for light trucks, beginning in model year 2027.
The changes are expected to drive up car prices, but at the same time save car owners some money at the pump, the NHTSA said.
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

It seems that human nature drives us to hide things that make us look bad. As I’ve heard it say, it’s not the crime that gets the politician in trouble, it’s the cover-up. So what’s been happening lately that some politicians and pundits don’t want us to see? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

You’ve probably heard someone say “There aught to be a law!” This excited utterance usually comes after someone did something incredibly ridiculous. If history has shown us one thing, when government gets involved, things usually get worse. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

How would you describe what goes on in the many governments here in the United States? What comes to my mind is weak, ineffective, irresponsible, worthless. In other words, feckless. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
