The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Not only has Congress discovered that they can bribe us with our own money, but they have effectively used this to enslave the American states and people with the threat of taking away the money. There are those, however, who refuse to take the bribe, or at least some of the bribes. Sometimes, bribery doesn’t come in the form of money but policies. The feds say, “Allow us to do this for...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years. Then again, it seems many Americans have forgotten that 19 terrorists tried to destroy what made America great. Our freedom and the advantages it gives us were attacked on Sept. 11th, 2001, by terrorists from overseas. Today, our freedoms are under attack by our fellow citizens. When we think about attacks on our liberty, we often think about...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when those who have claimed the authority to watch over public health focus less on the Hypocritic Oath and more on their political affiliations or personal ambitions? No matter how often I see it, I still shake my head at those who act like government regulations are as pure as the wind-driven show. They act as if, somehow, a bureaucrat who owes his job to a political...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me. Fool me three times... It appears the American people have not learned from either the 2020 or 2022 elections. I still hear people claim there was no significant voter fraud during either election; evidence be damned. Add to that all the interference currently going in for the 2024 elections, and I have to wonder, is there any hope...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever noticed how many people who win those huge lotteries are bankrupt just a few years later? Why? Because, without a functional knowledge of how to manage that money, what I call fiscal literacy, they make compounding bad decisions until all the money is gone. What happens when the fiscal illiterate isn't wasting his own money but everyone else's? The main difference...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are a lot of people talking today about Artificial Intelligence, some of it science fiction and other science fact. While AI can be a powerful tool, it is just that, a tool. The question we should be asking is, how will we use that tool? Humanity has a long history of both using and abusing tools. The very same fire that can warm your home and cook your food can also be used to burn a...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I'm sure you're familiar with the saying, "The meek shall inherit the earth." You may recognize it from the Psalms or Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. But today, we are not talking about the meek but the woke. I am not entirely sure who came up with the term "woke," but according to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary Online, "woke" means: "Aware of and actively attentive to important facts and...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when the people are no longer the ones elected by the representatives? Where does that leave the republic that the Framers of the Constitution left us? It leaves us somewhere between totalitarianism and a kleptocracy. To be blunt, I’m not sure which is worse.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Noah Webster said, “An independent judiciary is the firmest bulwark of freedom.” But what happens when that bulwark is used to destroy our freedom? When courts of law are used as courts of revenge? Can liberty survive in such a climate? According to the statistics website statista.com, in 2021, there were approximately 950,000 doctors in the U.S. and 1.3 million lawyers. Why? Because...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I've worked for many different managers over the years. The ones I disliked the most were the micro-managers - the managers who need to control every aspect of what you do. They need to know what you are working on every minute of the day, how much time you spend on each task, and, worst of all, they need to control how you perform each task. I've worked for micro-managers...
