To call Washington, D.C. a three-ring circus would be an insult… to Barnum & Bailey! If you every wonder what those in our nation’s capital were thinking, I don’t know that I’d look too hard, examining the alternate reality they live in could give you permanent brain damage if you’re not prepared for it. While many seem to only want to point to laugh at the clowns in D.C., We the People have an important role in stuffing them back into the clown car. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

Somewhere in our history we’ve changed from a nation of law to a nation of men. Specifically, a nation of judicial activists that think they create law. If you’ve listened to the Constitution Study, this is nothing new. But there are some new examples that are worth looking at. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

In poker there’s a move called “Buying the pot”. This is when one person makes a very large bet in an attempt to discourage others from continuing the hand. But what if we’re not talking poker? What if we’re talking permit fees for the use of your own land? That is exactly what George Sheetz sued the County of El Dorado California for.

Most Americans know there are problems in the federal government. We may not agree about what those problems are, but we generally agree there are problems. I believe Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress exposes much of what is at the root of those problems. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
