Preserving liberty requires active civic engagement now
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Liberty depends on citizens who stay engaged where power is closest. Rising energy and housing costs reveal how fragile freedom becomes when decisions drift away from local control. History, constitutional limits, and personal responsibility matter now. A republic endures only when people vote, serve, and protect faith, family, and community...
Why presidential overreach survives every administration
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Presidential power continues to expand under both parties, with executive mandates increasingly replacing constitutional governance. From artificial intelligence policy to immigration and surveillance, illegal orders persist despite public expectations of reform. The problem endures not in the White House alone, but in representatives who fail to recognize or challenge unlawful authority...
Real ID, digital control & the fight for retirement freedom: Twila Brase reveals the truth behind federal ID & Medical sovereignty
The Tenpenny Files – Twila Brase exposes how REAL ID functions as a federal biometric control system tied to travel, banking, and health care. She explains the constitutional violations, TSA enforcement tactics, and growing state resistance, then reveals how seniors were bound to Medicare and how retirement freedom legislation can restore choice and protect medical and financial sovereignty...
America’s Stockholm syndrome with federal power
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans now accept federal overreach as normal, even when it violates constitutional limits. Courts assert powers they were never granted, while citizens grow dependent on unlawful federal incentives. This national complacency mirrors Stockholm syndrome, raising a troubling question: can a people remain free if they no longer defend the boundaries meant to restrain power...
Betrayal at home and abroad
Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – Betrayal strikes when institutions fail at home and abroad. Gun bans leave innocents defenseless, corruption erodes trust, and justice shields the powerful. A former military whistleblower calls for accountability, constitutional self defense, honest representation, and the courage to protect families rather than surrender safety to broken systems that demand reform...
Religious liberty remains under assault
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Religious liberty stands at the heart of America’s founding yet continues to face mounting challenges. From the First Amendment’s origins to modern Supreme Court rulings, government actions increasingly test the free exercise of faith. Recent court cases and school policies reveal an ongoing struggle between constitutional protections, parental rights, and expanding state authority...
Presidential power faces major tests at the Supreme Court
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I examine several high-stakes cases now moving through the Supreme Court that test the limits of presidential power, from tariffs and executive authority to firing decisions and constitutional compliance. I also review a whistleblower case involving COVID-19 vaccine data and expose what I see as yet another troubling proposal from the Trump administration...
Why are so many people attacking freedom of speech?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The European Union doesn’t have the same protections of free speech. In fact, they have laws that prohibit free speech because they think it may be deceptive, as Elon Musk found out. The EU has fined X $140 million dollars because of their blue checkmark and advertising. How Mr. Musk apparently responded is priceless...
Is Congress keeping its oath? A look at new laws
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Congress moves new legislation forward, and I examine whether lawmakers honor their constitutional oath. I review the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, and the Restore Trust in Congress Act. I also address President Trump’s claim that Biden-era autopen-signed documents are invalid and explore the potential legal consequences...
The love of other people’s money
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – This piece challenges the morality of living off other people’s money, arguing that federal programs, state compliance, and taxpayer-funded incentives reflect a deeper culture of greed. By examining education, immigration, and welfare policies, it claims unconstitutional federal power persists because the public accepts and even demands redistributed wealth...
From ‘No Kings to Zohran,’ there is a solution to zany radicalism
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – When we understand and believe the equality principle found in the Declaration, then we will begin to see the restoration of the moral laws found within that principle. We are created equal in the rights inherent in our humanity. Arnn states such rights include “family, property, justice, work, learning, conscience, and worship.”
Working hard to take your money
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I work hard for my money, yet government agencies and politicians seem to work even harder to take it. From unconstitutional ID requirements to abusive benefit programs and deceptive tax schemes, both parties fuel reckless spending while ignoring their oath to the Constitution and the financial burden placed on everyday Americans...
Governor McMaster to end race-based government contracts in South Carolina
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster ends race-based government contracting through executive action, arguing such policies violate constitutional equality. Drawing on the legacies of Rosa Parks and John Quincy Adams, I contend that merit-based governance best honors civil rights and urge other states to follow South Carolina and Texas in restoring equal treatment under the law...
America’s litigious society explains why we have more lawyers than doctors
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The United States of America has more lawyers than doctors. So it should not be a surprise that we have become a very litigious society, where most of our conflicts are resolved in courts. But are these courts of law or courts of opinions? For example, three cases before the Supreme Court may...
How surveillance abuses and censorship threaten liberty
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Government surveillance and censorship shift from security tools into instruments of power, eroding trust and liberty across the nation. Secret courts, silenced voices, and economic exclusion reveal systemic abuse. As data and artificial intelligence expand control, citizens face a stark choice: demand transparency and reform now, or slowly trade freedom for convenience...
We must defeat the ‘priesthood of all deceivers’
Unity Without Compromise with Dr. Steven LaTulippe – A growing spiritual and political conflict grips America as truth clashes with deception. Christians face urgent questions about faith, obedience, and resistance in a nation divided by corruption, lawlessness, and ideological warfare. As false authority spreads, believers are called to defend biblical truth, expose evil, and consider the cost of preserving a Christian homeland...
Defense of self and others
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The right to keep and bear arms flows from a deeper, natural right to self-defense. This piece challenges Americans to consider not only defending themselves, but also their responsibility to defend others. It questions reliance on government protection and urges citizens to reclaim personal and communal responsibility for safety...
The Pilgrims’ flight to America was guided by the hand of God
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Guided by providence, the Pilgrims’ journey to the New World unfolds through persecution, hardship, and divine intervention. From a disabled printing press to violent Atlantic storms, each trial reshapes their destiny, leading to the creation of self-government through the Mayflower Compact and a revolutionary shift in how authority and liberty are understood...
When permission replaces rights, the Constitution fades
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – When government forces citizens to ask permission for rights already guaranteed, liberty erodes. The conviction of Dexter Taylor highlights a clash between constitutional principle and state power. Home gun building, jury trials, and legal appeals expose how permission-based laws threaten freedoms, future generations, and the meaning of the Second Amendment itself in modern America today...
Dangers of unlimited government
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Constitution establishes a federal government with limited, enumerated powers, yet those limits are increasingly ignored. This piece questions who enforces constitutional boundaries and warns of the dangers that arise when federal authority expands without consent, oversight, or amendment, threatening liberty and self-government as power concentrates in Washington...
Serious threats to the US Constitution and the American way of life
The Prism of America’s Education with Host Karen Schoen – The CCP and Muslims have one goal in common: to destroy the West. The Communists and Muslims teach that the government should make your life decisions for you, because they know best. What will Americans choose? Have we stepped so far into the rabbit hole that there is no more light at the end of the tunnel?
Why America must protect duty, privacy and the next generation
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Growing threats to duty, law, privacy, and children demand clarity and courage. Mixed messages to young service members endanger the chain of command, while expanding surveillance and cultural pressure reshape daily life. Protecting the Republic requires accountability, limits on government power, and active engagement from citizens committed to preserving freedom for the future we share...
Why civics education is failing America
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Civics is rarely taught in schools, and even law students graduate without studying the Constitution. This gap fuels misunderstandings about government power, federal overreach, and citizens’ rights. By learning the Constitution ourselves, we recognize violations sooner and become better prepared to defend our freedoms. Civic understanding starts with We the People taking...
What does it mean to be an American?
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – According to a Frenchman in 1782, an American is someone who understand economic principles of labor and reward. He foregoes useless labor and “has passed to toils of a very different nature, rewarded by ample subsistence.” Perhaps the citizens of NYC should read Letters from an American Farmer, because, with a Communist in charge...
Is the Second Amendment really there to protect the First Amendment?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Some people claim that the First Amendment is first because it’s of first importance. But is that true? And is the Second Amendment really there to protect the first, as some people say? What if that isn’t true? Let’s take a closer look at these common statements. When the Constitution was being debated in the states...
