White Privilege, Boys Can Be Girls, DOJ Protects You, Money in the Sky… All Lies!
Last Thursday at 8:39 PM

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are plenty of lies floating around America today, and I believe it’s time to start exposing some of them. Just look at how many lies are being used to attempt to rule our lives. We’re told that judges rule the world, and that government can borrow and spend money without consequence...


Tools To Save the Republic
Last Thursday at 12:19 AM

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Constitutional Amendments, lawsuits, telling our hired representatives. what we expect them to do, even the militias, are just a few of the tools we have at hand. The question is, will the American people pick up those tools and use them, or simply sit back and watch as the Republic devolves into the Empire?


The Blind Trust of Government Is Causing the Failure of the Republic
Last Tuesday at 3:40 PM

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The most ridiculous reason to trust someone is because they work for a government. Yet look at how many things people trust government actors to do for them. Is it any wonder trust in our institutions has fallen to an all-time low?


Protecting Your Rights and the American Dream
03/25/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Others may throw in the towel, but will you stand? Just like at Lexington Green, when you see the oppressors coming over the hill, when they order you to simply lay down your weapons and disperse, will you comply? Or will you listen to the words of Captain John Parker, on that day in 1775...


Nobody Can Screw Things Up Like Government
03/24/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Some people treat government, especially the federal government, as an unmitigated good. Want to protect people from bad products, create a government agency. Want to avoid another bank collapse, let government regulate it. The one thing governments are very good at is screwing things up...


It’s Time to Force Our States to Protect Our Rights
03/23/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Thanks to the general ignorance of the supreme law of the land in Washington, D.C., it seems everyone, from the politicians, bureaucrats, and justices, is attempting to take over this country by coercion. They simply claim power, then threaten anyone who disagrees with them...


Voluntarily Walking onto the Government Slave Ship
03/22/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Look at how many people are waiting for the federal government to do something for them. I have examples from East Palestine, Ohio, to depositors at SVB, from student loan holders to social security recipients, not to mention all of those who locked down, masked up, and shot up, waiting for the...


Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse
03/20/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Did you know that fewer than 10% of Americans have actually read the Constitution, the supreme law of the land? It's like playing Monopoly without reading the rules - not very smart. Ignorance of the law may not be an excuse, but it's rampant across the country...


When Government Protections Ruin Your Life
03/18/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Are you among the many who place too much faith in government actors? It's important to remember that government is full of people who are not perfect. Will we ever learn Ronald Reagan's warning about the nine most terrifying words? "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."


What Lies Are We Believing Today? Examining Quasi-Truths and Dogmas
03/17/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The saying "A lie told often enough becomes the truth" is more relevant today than ever before. It's time to question the articles of belief we hold and recognize the lies being spread around us. Will liberty and justice in America die for a lie?


Nullification in Action: How States Are Exercising Their Constitutional Rights
03/16/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Did you know that my new home state, Tennessee, is one of the few states to have legislation that allows them to review the actions of the federal government and nullify them if they are found to be unconstitutional?


The Truth About Judicial Review
03/15/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – If you’ve spent any time dealing with the question of constitutionality, you’ve heard of judicial review and the false claim that the Supreme Court, in the case Marbury v. Madison, assumed for itself the power of “judicial review” and to overturn legislation. Since the proper answer to “disinformation” is better information...


Bizarro World – Lies, Injustice, and the Socialist Way
03/13/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I remember the original Superman motto; Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Our governments and many institutions are trying to take away our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and replace it with censorship, irrationality, and collectivism. It feels like I’m living in Bizarro World...


Our Nation’s Compass Has Been Demagnetized
03/11/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – America once had a national moral compass that guided her to become the greatest nation the world has ever seen. But today, our moral compass has been demagnetized. What are the consequences of this moral inversion?


Constitutional Gossip
03/10/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I've studied the Constitution for years and the Bible for decades. One of the most important skills I've learned is how to spot gossip being used as evidence. Take some time to listen, then check the Constitution to see if what we're being told is true...


Constitutionally Blind People Following Constitutionally Blind Politicians
03/09/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Worse than the general ignorance of the supreme law of the land are the numerous myths and lies about the Constitution that many Americans follow, like lemmings. We have constitutionally blind people following constitutionally blind politicians, bureaucrats, and judges...


Do We Need Another Bill of Rights?
03/08/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – A recent report about a Washington State teacher may explain the reasoning behind a North Carolina law that purports to create a Parents' Bill of Rights. But I’m reminded of something a wise man once told me. Before you move a marker, find out why it was there in the first place...


Insecurity Killed the Republic
03/07/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There was a time in America when a man’s home was his castle, and he was expected to defend it. All of that changed as we turned our lives over to government. We don’t expect to have to protect ourselves; that’s what we have police for. We don’t need to make sure what we buy is safe and effective; that’s what we have regulator agencies...


Learning to Think Critically
03/05/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – 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 believe in nothing; they then become capable of believing in anything.”


Collectivism v. Liberty
03/03/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When everything becomes groups and stereotypes, individuality gets crushed. And as those labels and stereotypes become doctrine, the liberty to live your life as you see fit gets crushed as well. Today, we’ll look at some of these collectives and the impact collectivism has on American society...


The Tyranny of Good Intentions are Destroying America the Beautiful
03/02/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How long before our good intentions destroy not only the Republic but We the People? By depending on intentions rather than results, we find ourselves in the tyranny of good intentions. We need to limit the production of carbon dioxide, not because it has been proven dangerous, but because it...


How Can You Tell When Something is a Conspiracy Theory?
03/01/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There certainly are plenty of conspiracy theories out there. Lately, though, it seems the difference between a conspiracy theory and one that is true is about six months. With all of the noise and contradictions, how can you tell what is real and what is a conspiracy?


The Deplorables Must Rise Over the Lords & Ladies
02/28/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – These self-entitled bureaucrats believe that we are there to serve them. It’s not just the federal workforce, but we see more and more employees acting like their employers are there to serve them. We also see “regulators” and political office holders strutting around like lords and ladies ruling over the deplorables...


Could America Be Entering a New Dark Age?
02/26/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As we stare into the abyss of a new recession that some say will grow into a depression, the collapse of the scientific method, and the intentional debasement of our culture, especially our children, could America and the world be entering a New Dark Age?


The Supremacy Clause and Understanding What is Legally Binding
02/24/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution and the rule of law in the United States that is being exhibited by the administration, states, and, yes, the media. The latest attempt by a president to trade American sovereignty and the people’s rights for their own aggrandizement...


Masters of the Universe
02/23/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Look at Congress and the Presidency and ask yourself if these are truly the best 537 Americans we can find to exercise our powers in our name? Would we be better off having the states choose their members of Congress randomly from their citizens? Are those who want to be masters of you...


Their Money or Your Freedom?
02/22/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many Americans today are being held up, not by a thief on the street, but by our cities, town, and counties, along with our state and federal governments. They may use different methods and invoke different laws, but what they are doing is still theft. And since these governments have armed...


Politicians That Lie the Best; Stay the Longest. Why Is That?
02/20/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How can you tell when a politician is lying? The answer I generally get is, “Their lips are moving!” While that might be quite a statement about the character of politicians, what does it say about the American people that we knowingly hire people who are lying to us to exercise our powers in our name?


The Tyrants are Here! Big Government Imprisonment
02/18/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – From news stories about a court case that may claim to give government the power to police “disinformation”, to illegal federal agencies that are supposed to protect us are now trying to kill us. The tyrants aren’t just in Washington, D.C.; even the states and cities are in on the action...


Donkeys & Elephants Using Squirrels to Distract Us!
02/18/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Politicians use the donkeys vs. elephants to distract us; special interests will often point us in the wrong direction. And, of course, corporate media are masters at misdirection. Just like in a magic show, once you are aware of the “trick,” you can spot the distractions. With a little bit of practice and...


Transforming the World Through the Eyes of the Children
02/17/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Look at what the progressive leftists are focusing on and ask yourself one question. What is their goal? Is their goal to transform the world to make it better? Do the seeds they sow spread freedom and liberty? Or is their goal to destroy the country that has been the...


Censorship is Not Just About Silencing Your Opponent
02/16/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Most people seem to focus on the freedom of speech aspect of censorship, but that is only a small part of this particular evil. Censorship is not just about silencing your opponent; it’s about controlling them. It’s about manipulating people, gaslighting them into agreeing with you by preventing them from...


Paying the Price for Our Lack of Vision
02/15/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Let's look at the more recent acts and not just expose them, but show the American people and the states what they can do about it. The question we should be asking is, will the empire that the United States has become crush us, or will the Republic find a way to deal with the tyrants?


The Kabuki Theatre Union Address
02/11/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The American people and the world were once again subjected to the Kabuki theatre known as the “State of the Union Address.” Today, I want to give some thoughts on the political speech we call the State of the Union address, but also to the actual State of our Union. And just as the...


Destroying Self-Government in Favor of a Ruling Elite
02/11/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – After a quick trip down memory lane, we get a better idea of how the American people have fallen to a state where they will believe anything, follow any directive from government, and continue to listen to the media. In 1984 we were worried about the Soviet Union and Communism. Today, we have so...


Popping Some Trial Balloons
02/09/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – You may be thinking of the saga of the Chinese Spy Balloon, but that is only the latest in a long line of “trial balloons” that have been testing us. The New Ice Age, which became Global Warming, which we now call Climate Change, have all been trial balloons to see how far governments could push the...


The Real Insurrection in Washington, D.C.
02/08/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It breaks my heart to see so many Americans simply follow these illegal orders to metaphorically walk ourselves into the gulag these tyrannical actors have created for us. Sure, we may win a battle from time to time, but for the most part, the American people are not even participating in the war for our liberty...


Bring Back the Citizen Legislator Model of Governing
02/06/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The siren song of power and influence has not only attracted some of the less savory members of our society, but corrupted good men and women who tried to make a difference. Washington, D.C., is effectively another world, where the rules of honor, decorum, and servitude seem to be crushed by...


Political Duels – Policies at Twenty Paces
02/05/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Today, we are watching duels between the Republicans and Democrats over the debt ceiling, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, abortion, the COVID emergency, and just everything else under the sun. It seems, rather than killing each other with guns, the parties are trying to destroy each other with policies...


A Government Big Enough to Give You Everything You Want
02/03/2023

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – So what is the proper size and scope of the various governments within the United States? What are the consequences of allowing governments to expand beyond their designed limits? And just what can We the People, do to return these governments to their proper role?
