When most people think of catechisms, they think of religious training tool. However, catechisms have been used for training in many subjects in our history. I was recently introduced to the Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States, by Arthur J. Stansbury. While I have not been through the entire catechism, what I have read showed me that this is an excellent teaching tool, not only for the young people it was intended, but for adults and seniors as well.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

For four years the democrats have called anyone who questioned the 2020 presidential election an “election denier” and those who protested “insurrectionists”. So here in 2024, with the substantial win by Donald Trump, we can expect those same democrats to accept their loss and live with the consequences, right? It doesn’t look like it. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

One thing I was taught as a child was to be a good loser. Truth is, we’re not always going to win, and how you lose says a lot about your character. But we’ve spent decades “protecting” our children from losing, and what is the outcome of this overprotectiveness? Generations of Americans that don’t know how to lose gracefully.
Some of you may be thinking of January 6th, 2021, and to some extent you’d be correct. While there was nothing wrong with demonstrating your belief that the election was stolen, but some went to far, either on their own or with instigation doesn’t matter, adults should know better than to attempt to get their way by initiating violence. That said, there are plenty of examples of sore losers on both sides. Today however, the sore losers all seem to be on one side of the political divide. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

After all of the craziness of the 2024 election, I think it’s appropriate to take some time to examine our recent history. For example, it should be quite apparent by now that, when it comes to our republic, corporate media is our weakest link. Looking forward, we should examine the plans Donald Trump has for his second term, and some of the ongoing impacts of the last four years. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
