We hear it all the time. Claims that such and such is a threat to American democracy. I have shown time and time again that the United States is not a democracy, but a republic. While I’ve frequently pointed out that most calls to save American democracy seem to be more about saving the Democratic Party, a recent story seems to put a new wrinkle on this topic.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is claiming that new rules for the DNC presidential primaries are designed to rig the process for Joe Biden. While I haven’t seem proof that Mr. Kennedy’s claims are true, it certainly would be in keeping with the recent history of the undemocratic Democratic party. However, that isn’t all. Look at the recent attempts to silence “mis/disinformation”. That is just another attempt to interfere with the democratic process these people claim to love so much.
If you want to see the antithesis of democracy, the best place to start seems to be with those who are promoting it. Perhaps that is why our Founding Fathers created a republic, rather than a democracy, and why Benjamin Franklin warned us that it was up to us to keep it. - 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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

After four years of censorship by the federal government, and countless more from “corporate media”, many think that freedom of speech will flourish once again in America. However, while free speech is on the rise, it’s future is not as secure as you may think. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Just when you think DOGE has gotten to the bottom of the barrel, they find more barrel. I’d say “If you want to get out of a hole, stop digging.” But I’ve been so happy at all of the waste, fraud, and abuse that’s been discovered. Now all we need to happen is for those in government to actually learn from these exposure and stop wasting our money. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The United States is supposed to be a nation of laws, not of men. However, over the decades, the laws of this nation have been taken over not only by bureaucrats and politicians, but by judges. Judges who, by the way, almost always place the opinions of other judges above the supreme law of the land. Which begs the question, are we a nation of laws or of courts? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
