The only grocery store in one of Washington, D.C.’s most economically disadvantaged areas is considering shutting down operations, according to The Washington Post.
The Ward 8 location of grocery retailer Giant Food may permanently close over a mounting theft and crime problem, The Washington Post reports. The store has reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on security upgrades. Despite their efforts, the store has reportedly lost 20% of revenue — totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars per month — due to merchandise theft. The potential closing of Giant Food — which stands as the sole grocery store for Ward 8’s 85,000 residents — has left residents in a state of anxiety.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

Does anyone who is born on our land automatically receive citizenship? Not according to the Fourteenth Amendment, but that hasn’t stopped the courts from messing this up. Which is exactly what I expect from the Supreme Court in the case Trump v. Barbara.
