Why are so many people surprised when politicians’ promises fail?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Governor Hochul of New York is promising to make child care cheaper by taking the money from you to subsidize the child care of others.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Most people don’t think of it this way, but when you depend on government, you not only sell your freedom, but also enslave your rights to those who wish to control you.

Every election is like an employee review, a perfect time to judge the quality of their work. Sadly, I’ve seen…

Who’s in charge?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We have presidents of both parties who ignore the Constitution and rule like kings. We have judges who claim to rule like oligarchs. And we have bureaucrats who dictate like Czars how we live our lives, what we can purchase, and what we can’t, or in more and more cases must, put into our bodies. So I ask you, who’s in charge?
