Does It Really Take a Village To Raise Your Kids?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In “Placing Politics Above Children?”, I explore a lawsuit filed in Massachusetts challenging the foster care system, focusing on a couple’s faith impacting their foster care aspirations. I also discuss broader issues of child welfare, family dynamics, and societal responsibilities, reflecting on personal experiences and insights from Calista Barberi, a Foster Care Trainer/Recruiter in…

Ukraine and the Second Amendment

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Exploring the unexpected intersection of the Ukraine war and the Second Amendment, I unveil a profound truth vital for American citizens. In my latest piece, inspired by TJ Martinell and Tom Fowdy, I delve into how these narratives shape the future of the United States as a beacon of freedom, illuminating the enduring relevance of our constitutional rights.

America’s Turn to Communism: A Historical Warning

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – McCarthyism, once a term of derision, now highlights a forgotten history of communism’s grip on society. As America seemingly races towards collectivism, memories of the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia fade. I ponder if the nation is doomed to repeat past atrocities, ignoring the warning signs of tyranny and the erosion of human rights under communism.

398 – Will America be Destroyed From the Inside?

In 1837, Daniel Webster wrote:

“I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe… Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.”

I’ve been thinking about that statement lately. I came across a video that I had forgotten about. It’s part of an interview with Soviet defector Yuri Bezmanov. Mr Bezmanov was a former KGB agent who defected to Canada in 1970. Then, in 1984, he gave an interview to G Edward Griffin where he exposed a long-term Soviet plan to defeat America not by force of arms, but through psychological warfare.

You may be asking, what does a late 20th century defector have to do with a 19th century lawyer and statesman, and how could it possibly be relevant to our situation in the 2020s? Come to find out, both of these men were quite prescient in their warnings to the American people.

The American Dream or Nightmare?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Exploring the evolving American Dream, I delve into recent polls showing dwindling belief in its attainability. I question the impact of current policies under the Biden Administration, highlighting concerns about the CDC, FDA, and legal actions in New York. This raises a critical question: Can we still save the American Dream, and in what form?

Declaring War on the American Way

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I recall Superman’s original motto, advocating for “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” Yet, when did we shift from supporting these ideals to opposing them? Political forces now use the law to attack opponents, a stark contrast from past practices. Our economy, under siege for years, faces direct threats, including misguided policies on climate change. It’s time for Americans to…

Financial Mismanagement of Over-Budget Programs, Massive Deficits & Failed Audits

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It seems the American people forget that it’s not the United States money that is being mismanaged, but our own. The checks from the US Treasury represent our blood, sweat, and tears. When the government mismanages the money it takes from us, that’s bad enough. When they meddle in…

Navigating a Crisis of Government Trust

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In the wake of the Rainbow Bridge explosion between Niagara Falls, NY, and Ontario, I delve into public skepticism towards government statements. The widespread disbelief in official accounts, much like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” raises crucial questions about our trust in authorities and the importance of independent verification in an era of uncertainty and misinformation.
