The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In that Congress, the parties like to blame each other, either for the spending or the tax cuts. But our deficits have been a bipartisan problem for decades. And as many of the American people who complain about the spending and deficits, we seem to forget that it is We the People who not only place those members of Congress, but we...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Republic faces many problems, but the real question is whether we’re using the right tools to fix them. The Constitution offers powerful means for both states and citizens to restore balance, yet too often we strike at problems with the wrong approach. It’s time to choose our tools wisely and repair the Republic...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans follow leaders without truly examining their actions or integrity. With civic education in decline and myths about the Constitution spreading, the nation drifts further from its founding principles. Like the blind leading the blind, citizens and officials alike stumble together, forgetting the oaths and truths that once defined the land of the free...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Debate grows over whether America needs another Bill of Rights. Some claim the Constitution no longer protects our freedoms, while others argue enforcement—not expansion—is the answer. From a Washington State classroom to North Carolina’s Parents’ Bill of Rights, the question remains: do we strengthen our rights with new laws or uphold the ones we already have...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sadly, it seems that public education is more about learning what to think rather than how to think. Based on many of the discussions I’ve had across the country, critical thinking seems to be a skill many Americans have lost. I believe G.K. Chesterton once described our situation perfectly: “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Labels shape how we see others, but when they harden into collectivism, individuality and freedom suffer. This piece explores how stereotypes and group identities can quietly erode personal liberty in American life, urging readers to look inward and recognize how easily collective thinking replaces independent thought and authentic self-expression...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sure, the federal government can use some disinfecting, but so can our state governments. A U.S. Senate committee hearing has exposed the fact that the Transportation Security Administration has been spying on Americans, often for little more than exercising their First Amendment right to free association or their Fifth Amendment right of due process...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans believe the federal government holds powers it simply does not have. From so-called shutdowns to unconstitutional vaccine laws, Washington continues to overstep its limits. Despite public trust, these actions reveal how far government authority strays from the Constitution, raising urgent questions about freedom, responsibility, and the true scope of federal power...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Across America, adults act like spoiled children when they don’t get their way—throwing tantrums, lashing out, and turning to violence. From shootings and threats to political retaliation, reason gives way to immaturity. When anger replaces civility, society mirrors a playground fight instead of a democracy built on debate, respect, and accountability...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Perhaps the answer isn’t that the schools aren’t performing, but that their goals have changed. Perhaps the goal of public education is not to lift children up to a basic level of citizenship, but to “educate” them down to the lowest common denominator. Perhaps that explains why children who can recite the latest TikTok craze cannot read about it on X...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Legal trouble looms large as states push back against federal demands for voter data, sparking constitutional battles. Questions swirl around James Comey’s indictment, Congress’s authority, and FBI actions tied to January 6th. Meanwhile, mayors challenge ICE operations, testing limits of power. In a nation full of attorneys, clashes over law and politics seem unavoidable...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How can we expect people to seek the truth when, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (also known as the nation’s report card), almost half of seniors are failing in math, and almost a third failed in reading? The truth is, our public education system is failing. And what some states claim as success has yet to prove itself...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – You may like one team’s agenda above the other, but are you willing to sell your rights so they can play this game with our future? Like a tag-team wrestling team, the Democrats and Republicans seem to take turns infringing on our rights. Yes, they have different agendas, but they repeatedly use the same techniques, many of which are unconstitutional, to get their way...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The United States drifts when detached from the Constitution, its true anchor. Without it, rights erode, institutions falter, and politics replaces justice. From violence against public figures to the weaponization of agencies and the rise of divisive movements, the nation veers off course. Reconnecting to founding principles restores stability, freedom, and the protection of all...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Let's face it, the United States is fiscally in a disaster. How many years has it been since Congress has passed any budget at all, much less a balanced one? Once again, we have the annual game of chicken, donkeys, and elephants about passing spending legislation or shutting down the government. Meanwhile, the embezzlement Ponzi scheme known as...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – America’s healthcare system, once praised as the best, now drives rising costs, declining quality, and worsening public health. Government mandates, failed policies, and bureaucracy weigh heavily on patients and nurses alike. Ashley Grogg, a seasoned nurse and advocate, speaks out in Resuscitating Nursing, urging bold action to revive a broken system and empower frontline caregivers...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Based on a Rutgers poll, more than half of people who identify as “left” believe assassinating a sitting president may be justified. To some, even a simple murder is terrorism. And yes, this is sick. Then we have the examples of federal actors ignoring the Constitution, like Congress’s deficit spending, the DOJ’s illegal demand for state voter registration data, while...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many people put their faith in the idea that, when Donald Trump regained the presidency, all things would be better again. Sadly, that is not the case. There are dangers for our children. There are still those who punish people for being Christians, or Republicans, or just plain defending their rights. So what are we to do?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – People denounce censorship while demanding it against their rivals. Critics of Biden’s speech and social media restrictions now push to silence voices supporting violence. The question rises: is free speech only for agreeable opinions? From teachers to politicians, the right to express even foolish or offensive thoughts defines liberty, yet party divisions threaten its survival...
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Constitution isn’t taught in our schools, not even our law schools. Then again, what would that matter, since the federal government has gotten involved in education, its quality has declined. Yet, despite all this evidence of failure, people still believe it is legal for the federal government to continue violating its oath to support the Constitution...
