406 – Regulating Your Life

Have you noticed how often the government of the United States decides how you should live your life? It seems everything from food and drugs to the lightbulbs in your home are regulated by Uncle Sam. And whenever some bureaucrat deems it necessary, they simply roll out another “rule” or “regulation” to clamp down on the American people. It seems though, that one of those agencies may have bitten off more than they could chew, at least according to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. In the case Louisiana, et. al. v. U.S. Department of Energy the court decided that one of the DOE’s rules was illegal, but was it unconstitutional?

Defending our rights: The state’s role explained

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Exploring our constitutional rights, I delve into the significance of the United States Constitution and its Preamble, highlighting our role in self-governance. Reflecting on the state’s duty to defend our rights against federal overreach, I emphasize the importance of civic responsibility and our collective power as ‘We, the People,’ to uphold and protect the freedoms we cherish.

Harry Truman warned us that “Silencing the voice of opposition” has consequences!

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – These words to Congress from Harry S. Truman should send chills down your spine. “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” Look at the news, and what do you see?

Don’t you just hate it when reality walks up and bites you?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Let’s face it, do you want to put your life in the hands of a rule created by some bureaucrat who was hired to make political points rather than their ability to do the job? Just how many billions of dollars does the government spend on grants for scientific research even though the Constitution prohibits it? The fact is we all live with the consequences of our actions and those of others…

“Let’s be careful out there!”

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Things are getting really dangerous, just in time for a Presidential Election. There are Pro-Hamas demonstrations, not just across the country but in front of the White House. Political opponents, including the President, have been swatted, and the FBI running amuck. Evidence of more election fraud brings into question the state of our republic, and there are those who claim everything is fine, nothing to see here…

405 – The Real Insurrection in America

Although I’ve talked about the recent attempts to keep Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot on the radio program, I realized I haven’t taken the time to do an in-depth article here. I apologize for taking so long to broach this extremely important topic in this venue.

Unless you’ve been hiding from everything politics in the United States, you are aware that there are actors in several states that have sued in their state courts to disqualify Donald Trump from being on their states primary election ballot for President of the United States. As of this writing, in only two states, Colorado and Maine, have those actors found some measure of success. While this case will undoubtably find its way to the Supreme Court, this truly is a state issue, even though it has national importance.

When pundits and politicians want to stir up the American people, they declare war

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’ve had the war on poverty, the war on drugs, even a war on hate. Frequently, these wars that are supposed to save the American people actually wind up enslaving them. The latest “war” enslaving the American people is the so-called “Green” Energy War. While this vicious attack on the American people has been having its way for decades, there are signs that the people may be starting to push back…

States must start standing up for their rights

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Exploring the foundational principles of the U.S. Constitution, I delve into the federalist structure and the dynamic between state and federal powers. This analysis highlights the critical role of states in balancing against federal expansion, underscoring the importance of state sovereignty and the Tenth Amendment in maintaining the delicate equilibrium of our republic.
