There has been a lot of people calling for Israel to have a proportional response to the Hamas attacks a couple of weeks ago. I think Hamas and their sympathizers should thank their gods that Israel has NOT responded in a proportional manner.
Merriam-Webster defines proportional as “corresponding in size, degree, or intensity”. The last thing those calling for a proportional response is an actual proportional response. Imagine how they would react if Israel attacked Gaza the same way Hamas attacked them. What if Israel targeted non-combatants as Hamas did. Should we insist that the body counts are equal and the atrocities equally horrific?
Along the same line, we should not respond proportionally to those who want to subjugate us. As much as we may like to, if we sink to their level, we are no better than they are. - 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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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?

There are plenty of court cases claiming violations of the First Amendment. As I’ve shown, most of those have nothing to do with the First Amendment, but that doesn’t mean Congress doesn’t violate it regularly. Let me introduce you to The Petition Clause.

I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but it is true, it’s what you know that just ain’t so that really bites you in the back-side. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The Preamble to the Constitution lists its first two purposes as forming a more perfect union and establishing justice. Now 239 years later, how are we doing at establishing justice? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
