Welcome to the 1960s! Campus demonstrations, political assassinations, sexual revolution
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When I look around today, I feel a sense of nostalgia. After all, we have campus demonstrations, political assassinations, a sexual revolution, and crime, just to name a few of the similarities. This makes me believe Santayana was correct, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” You know what they say: If you can remember the ’60s, you weren’t really there…

A trillion here and a trillion there
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Department of Defense has lost track of $20 trillion over the past 18 years, raising serious concerns about government accountability. Meanwhile, inflation is still a problem, with the CPI at 2.5%, not reflecting critical areas like food and energy where prices are rising sharply. It’s clear that the federal government is excelling at one thing: wasting taxpayer money. How much more will it take for people to notice?

I know politicians lie, but…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Politicians lie, but lately, it’s like they’re taking political steroids. From rigging elections to media manipulation, it’s becoming more blatant.

It feels like democracy is being sidelined for political gains.

439 – It doesn’t need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread
I’ve spent a lot of time the last few years wondering why Americans do not celebrate Constitution Day. Then it occurred to me, we have spent so much time and effort trampling the document, along with the freedoms and liberties it’s designed to protect, We the People are simply too apathetic to celebrate the Constitution, or too ashamed to do so. However, for those of us not embarrassed by our founding document, there is still hope to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

Why the media’s version of truth is suspicious
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In today’s world, truth is harder to find than ever. Media, government, and even the medical community twist facts to serve their own agendas. With elections, political disinformation, and health controversies dominating headlines, it’s crucial to question what we’re told. We must seek facts for ourselves, or risk being misled by those in power.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’ve forgotten the lessons of our lax immigration enforcement, which led to 19 terrorists who overstayed their visas to fly planes into our buildings. We’ve forgotten the dangers of supporting terrorist groups, even right here on American soil. We’ve forgotten many of the lessons, not just from 9/11 but from our history…
