Do we have the time, or is this the beginning of the end of life in America as we have known it? This is where you will find a range of Editorial postings and comments by a select group of writers, many of who have had long term relations with Kettle Moraine Publications – and EACH of whom provide us with THEIR Perspectives as this Nation ignores the warnings as we live in the end of days – for most Americans’ are Too Blind to See – and we once again convert back to one of our OLD and DEFINITIVE categories – POINT BLANK!

The World Is Paying a Deadly Price for Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy

The Iranian dupes’ worldview is a cancer that’s metastasized within the Democratic Party.

If a belligerent state launched 185 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would President Joe Biden call it a “win”?

Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences?

This is what Biden and the Barack Obama acolytes, Iranian dupes and Israel antagonists he’s surrounded himself with demand of the Jewish state. Continue reading

Teachers Are So Fed Up With the Broken Education System That…

…over half wouldn’t tell a young person to do what they do!

Not unlike the famed tree of Shel Silverstein’s divisive children’s book, teachers don’t have much left to give. Operating in a infamously demanding and poorly paid sector, many educators have reached a breaking point over the last couple of years as they navigate an increasingly broadening workload.

Whitehead: The Government Wants to Play God. What Does That Mean for Our Freedoms?

The government wants to play god.

It wants the power to decide who lives or dies and whose rights are worthy of protection!

Abortion may still be front and center in the power struggle between the Left and the Right over who has the right to decide – the government or the individual – when it comes to bodily autonomy, the right to privacy, sexual freedom, the rights of the unborn, and property interests in one’s body, but there’s so much more at play.

In the 50-plus years since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, the government has come to believe that it not only has the power to determine who is deserving of constitutional rights in the eyes of the law but it also has the authority to deny those rights to an American citizen.

The Cowardice of America’s Leadership

This historical parallel from the Roman Empire is the perfect analogy to the situation today – the US appears far weaker than it was even just a few years ago. And that has some pretty substantial implications for the future.]

When the barbarian king Rugila died in the year 434 AD, Roman Emperor Theodosius II likely rejoiced that his mortal enemy was no more.

Rugila (and his father Uldin) had been invading and terrorizing Roman territory for decades; but the Empire was so weak at that point that Theodosius was powerless to stop them. Continue reading

Tyranny by the Numbers: The Government Wants Your Money Any Way It Can Get It

The government wants your money.

It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it.

This is what comes of those $1.2 trillion spending bills: someone’s got to foot the bill for the government’s fiscal insanity, and that “someone” is the U.S. taxpayer.

The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture, costly stimulus packages, and a national security complex that continues to undermine our freedoms while failing to making us any safer.

Ross: Perceptions

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” ~ Matthew 5:48

The human mind is a fascinating organ. Aside from being the control center for the body that houses it, it is because of our ability to think that we have cars, airplanes, computers, and all the other gadgets and gizmos that make our day-to-day lives easier. That is why I find it so bewildering that people are not able to look at the issues that face us with the same critical thinking skills that have given us all these technological advancements. The thing is, I shouldn’t find it bewildering; I too was just like that; until I freed my mind of the shackles of its ignorance and taught it how to think critically. Continue reading

Yes, We Still Need the First Amendment

NOTE: Last week, on April the sixth, we published an article entitled, America ABANDONS The First Amendment. What you are about to read picks up where the original column left off and posts its own discussion – POINT BLANK. It would appear that the current bunch of scum in the U.S. Congress (collectively) are doing their utmost to attack the entirety of the Bill of Rights. ~ Editor

Government censorship has shifted to the forefront of American conversation with the recent passing of H.R. 752, which would essentially ban TikTok; this development, which has passed the House and is on its way to the Senate, is igniting debating on how much involvement the government should have in social media.

This debate is not new, considering the government has been intervening in social media for years. For example, this is not the first time the federal government has tried to ban TikTok. In 2020, then-President Trump famously attempted to ban the uprising app but was challenged and ultimately blocked by the courts. Continue reading

Saving the Gas-Powered Car and Making Money on Carbon

A week after the Biden administration’s March 20 edict on auto emissions – a proclamation heralded by some as the death knell for the internal combustion engine in the next decade – a disquiet has insinuated itself into the corridors of commentary. Even Washington Post columnists are worrying that the Biden administration may have gone too far.

In a March 25 opinion piece, the Post’s Megan McArdle – whose political leanings cannot by the even most imaginative stretch be construed as sympathetic to Donald Trump – observed that the administration “risks a political backlash” as it seeks to force out gasoline-powered cars and force in electric vehicles (EVs). In McArdle’s words of warning, “consumers revolt against a technology that’s not ready for prime time.” Continue reading

U.S. ‘Breaking Apart‘ With 25 States ‘Ready’ to LEAVE

Texas’ state flag. In hypothetical referendums, 25 states would vote for full independence from the U.S., according to a leading Texas nationalist. ~ AARON M. SPRECHER/GETTY

A leading Texas independence campaigner has said the United States is “breaking apart,” with over 50 percent of the population in 25 states ready to secede based on his interpretation of two recent surveys by the polling company YouGov. Continue reading

Benson: If You Want Truth, Government Is the LAST Place to Get It

OH – how RARE – NOT!

Has anyone noticed lately how often someone in a government position has been shown to be lying to us? With the Biden/Obama regime the amount of political BS has proliferated astronomically. Just about anyone from this regime that gets a ten second spot on the news, from Biden’s press secretary to the man “who does more work in an hour than most people do all day” himself has been caught in egregious falsehoods, to the point where they don’t even try to convince you they are telling the truth anymore. They just spin their horrendous political windys and almost dare anyone to contradict them. Continue reading

Benson: Biden’s Replacement Theology

The website https://www.heritage.org noted, back in March of 2023, that: “In President Biden’s first two years, the administration requested and received significant funding to further its open borders agenda. The Biden administration (used) hundreds of billions of federal dollars to shift federal agencies and personnel further away from enforcing the nation’s immigration laws and toward processing and accommodating millions more illegal aliens. This policy agenda defies federal law and abuses American taxpayer dollars and Congress should act to halt it.”

But it won’t!

Whitehead – We Failed the Freedom Test

“The remedy is worse than the disease. ~ Francis Bacon

…das ist Auschwitz!

The government never cedes power willingly.

Neither should we.

If the Covid-19 debacle taught us one thing it is that, as Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”

Unfortunately, we still haven’t learned. Continue reading

Benson: “Jesus Christ is King!”

Today being Maundy Thursday, the day before the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, I felt it was a good time for this article. Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab.com, seems to have committed the “unpardonable (antisemitic) sin” because he has written “Jesus Christ is King” and he continues to do so. You just can’t have Christians running around stating obvious truths like that that rob the state of Israel of its desired grandeur. So what to do? Label such truths as “antisemitic.” That should shut those Christians up!

I did an article not too long ago noting that not all who have embraced the religion of Judaism are Semitic by birth. In fact, most today are not. Their ancestors came mostly from Western Russia and Eastern Europe and they have no more claim to being Semitic than the man in the moon! In fact, many of those they claim to be antisemitic are really Semites racially, while most Jews today are not.

Christians should have no problem proclaiming that Jesus Christ is King. Unfortunately, whether some Christians realize it or not, they are really busy stating that “the state of Israel is king–and don’t you forget it.” Looking at some Scripture on this Maundy Thursday, the Scripture is quite clear regarding the actions of Israel’s religious leaders during the Lord’s time on earth.

Kunstler: Wake-up Call…

“Those who organized the disaster will take advantage of the inevitable discontent arising from efforts to overcome it, for if there is one thing that they are skilled in, it is demagoguery.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple

Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite. Continue reading

The Great Election Fraud: Manufactured Choices Make a Mockery of Our Republic

“Dictators are not in the business of allowing elections that could remove them from their thrones.” ~ Gene Sharp, political science professor

The U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep President Trump’s name on the ballot.

The high court’s decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban” rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact that in a representative democracy, the citizenry – not the courts, not the corporations, and not the contrived electoral colleges – should be the ones to elect their representatives.

Unfortunately, what is being staged is not an election. It is a mockery of an election. Continue reading

Leibowitz: ‘We’ doesn’t seem to exist anymore in America

Taste is a funny thing. It changes so incrementally, we barely notice, except looking backward over time. Take my falling out of love with going to the movies. For decades, it used to be a weekly thing, sometimes more. I’d see the big blockbusters, plus whatever indie flicks looked interesting.

Now it’s Academy Awards time. Ten films have been nominated for Best Picture. I’ve seen precisely one. Barbie. Let me save you an hour and 54 minutes: It’s a movie about a doll who wears a lot of pink. She hangs out with a diverse group of fellow dolls. The men are dolts, or oppressive. The patriarchy sucks.

The movie ends – spoiler alert! – with Barbie being dropped off at the gynecologist.

Driving Miss Daisy it ain’t. Continue reading

Hickman: Boots on the Ground from Russia

You may not like to read about the Enemy – but you need to understand the difference between it and Joe Buy Deng’s ‘merica!  There is good and bad in every nation – but at the present time – America is on the loosing side of LIFE! ~ Editor

Today in Russia, there is unmistakable tension in the air.

A series of busts of Russia’s rulers, including Vladimir Lenin, second right, and Josef Stalin, third right, are on display in Moscow, Russia

You definitely don’t want to speak out against the war or the current regime — it’s an almost guaranteed way to lose your job or end up in a prison.

That’s why everyone is so careful about what they say, and to whom they say it. Unless you know someone really, really well, you have to avoid any potentially controversial topics.

The TV blasts propaganda on a daily basis, effectively brainwashing millions of people. It’s surprising how many Russians seems to believe the news… or at least pretend to believe it.

The national elections took place this past weekend. Despite the official numbers reporting 77% voter turnout, most people I spoke to didn’t plan on voting since, “the result will be the same anyway.”

This is all eerily reminiscent of the Soviet Union. Continue reading

Garrison: The Democrat’s LIE Bath

The Democrat Party’s propaganda media once again reported news that was a bald faced lie. They claimed that that Trump said there would be a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. In fact, he said the US auto industry would face a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. Biden’s Green New Deal would spell the end of the gasoline powered engines of the US auto industry and destroy countless jobs – an economic ‘bloodbath.’ Continue reading

Tom Cotton DEMANDS the Pentagon Explain How a Chinese Tutoring Company Infiltrated the Homes and Classrooms of Military Families and Their Children

Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton is demanding the Pentagon disclose information on its contract with a Chinese-owned tutoring company that has access to U.S. military family data.

Tutor.com, a popular tutoring website, is owned by Primavera Holdings Limited, a firm run by Chinese nationals that also holds stakes in TikTok parent company ByteDance and e-commerce giant Alibaba. The site offers tutoring services to the U.S. military and school districts around the country.

However, a Chinese-owned company should not have access to the sensitive data of U.S. school kids and military families, according to Cotton. Continue reading

Gun Ban for Illegal Immigrants Ruled Unconstitutional

The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, meaning all free men and women have that right, regardless of where they are on the planet. It’s part of why so many of us find other nations’ gun laws so insulting. It’s a repression of people’s right to have weapons to defend themselves and their nation.

A repression that goes out the window in the face of invasion, it should be noted.

But that brings about the question of illegal immigrants. Do they forfeit their rights when they enter the United States illegally, or do they maintain their rights as they’ve not actually been convicted of a felony or anything else? Continue reading

The State of Our Nation No One’s Talking About: Tyranny Is Rising as Freedom Falls

“Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest – forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.” ~ Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

‘‘So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death . . .’’

Day by day, tyranny is rising as freedom falls.

The U.S. military is being used to patrol subway stations and police the U.S.-Mexico border, supposedly in the name of national security.

The financial sector is being used to carry out broad surveillance of Americans’ private financial data, while the entertainment sector is being tapped to inform on video game enthusiasts with a penchant for violent, potentially extremist content, all in an alleged effort to uncover individuals subscribing to anti-government sentiments. Continue reading

Thomas Jefferson: ‘A True Patriot Will Defend His Country From Its Government’

In this world, the “ideal” exists, at least in theory – the way things ought to be. But more often, there is “reality” – how things actually are. In the ideal world, a country’s government would be on the side of its people, helping them, guiding them towards virtue, honesty, righteousness, philanthropy, and a godly life. Government would instruct its citizens, by its example and leadership, to be self-controlled, responsible, frugal, and moral; to accept and learn from the consequences of their actions and not to blame others for their evil. Basic truthful realities and societal foundations, such as the nuclear family, that men are men, women are women, and children need fathers and mothers, would be encouraged, instead of letting its people destroy themselves and so many others through lies and perversions.

Such a system would mean that government would be needed for only a few limited duties. That’s the way things should be. That’s the ideal.

But that isn’t the “reality” of government. It never has been, and it never will be… Continue reading
