A baggie of cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House on Sunday, July 2, the Fourth of July weekend, causing a hazmat response to determine what the “white powder” was. But after numerous shifting stories from the White House about what had occurred, the Secret Service ended the investigation into who brought the cocaine into the White House without even investigating for two full weeks.
The Secret Service’s statement on the matter was weak, to say the least, and raised a lot of questions. While they tested the substance and developed a list of “several hundred” who went through the area, they said they couldn’t find any forensic evidence on the bag or determine anything from video evidence. They also didn’t even bother to question any of the people on the list. Members of Congress like Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said they had been told there were about 500 people on that list.
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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

To paraphrase Issac Newton’s Third Law of Motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In politics, for every action there are, or at least should be, equal and appropriate consequence. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

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
