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!

Minick: Self-Governance Is the Bedrock of Liberty

Those who refuse to govern themselves will be governed by others.

This is one of the takeaway lessons from the recent elections, particularly in New York City.

There a young and inexperienced pro-Islamist and democratic socialist won the mayoral election in part by promising voters goodies like free bus transportation, free childcare, some government grocery stores, and heavier taxes on the rich.

Unable or unwilling to take care of themselves, Zohran Mamdani’s supporters have fallen prey to one of the oldest tricks in the book, dating all the way back to Ancient Rome’s bread and circuses for the masses: They have surrendered liberty and self-reliance for a mess of pottage. Such ignorance of the past, or worse, such willed stupidity, strips away freedom and empowers would-be dictators. Continue reading

Hickman ~ 2025: The Year Energy Sanity Returned

When Robert Oppenheimer watched the first atomic bomb detonate in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945, the blast confirmed that America had won the race to build a nuclear weapon.

The destructive power of these weapons was extraordinary; the explosion from Oppenheimer’s “Trinity” test unleashed an astonishing 83.7 Terajoules (TJ) of energy from just SIX kilograms of Plutonium-239.

By comparison, a typical power plant in 1945 would have required 9.5 MILLION kilograms of coal to produce a similar amount of energy. Continue reading

Stoller: A Bipartisan Reform Proposal to Restore American Self-Government

Here is my proposal to save this country!

~ Introduction ~

For generations, Americans have believed in a simple promise: that our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. But today, citizens across the political spectrum feel that this promise has been broken. Both conservatives and progressives agree on one thing: the system is no longer responding to the will of the people.

Our politics are dominated by special interests, corporate money, lobbyists, and entrenched politicians who remain in power for decades. The average voter has been pushed to the sidelines while billion-dollar industries shape our laws, our regulations, and ultimately, our lives.

Reclaiming our country does not require choosing a “side.”

It requires fixing the system itself. Continue reading

Whitehead ~ Government Unchained: The Year the Constitution Lost Its Guardrails

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

We now live in a nation where constitutional rights exist in theory, not in practice.

Yet what good are rights on paper when every branch of government is allowed to ignore, circumvent, chip away at or hollow them out in practice?

Two hundred and thirty-four years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, the safeguards meant to shield “We the people” from government abuse are barely recognizable. Continue reading

Marquardt: Do You Think Property Rights Still Exist in America? Well, Think Again!

There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery. Continue reading

Great wars and a swarm of bees‘: Nostradamus’s Terrifying Predictions for 2026 Revealed

A 16th-century astrologer predicted political upheaval and a renewed conflict between East and West in 2026 – but it’s not all doom and gloom and there may be something positive to look forward to in the new year.

Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, is said to have foreseen disturbing world events including 9/11 and Princess Diana’s death in his book Les Propheties, which was published in 1555. Continue reading

Ross: Moral Relativism Will Be Our Ruin

The Wrath of God

After I had finished my evening reading last night I was sitting around digesting what I had read; waiting for bedtime to come rolling around on the clock. As I did that, not thinking about anything, but thinking about everything all at one (if that makes any sense to you) a thought popped into my head; one that I felt was important enough to write down, ‘Moral relativity will prove to be the downfall of this country.’ Proving that point will be the focus of the remainder of this essay. Continue reading

Garrison: America Is Closed — Illegal ‘Immigrants‘ Must Go Back

President Trump says his ban on Third World immigration is permanent.

“We DON’T want those people! People who aren’t friendly to us, like SOMALIA! We don’t WANT THEM! Like SOMALIA, where you have [llhan Omar] going around telling everybody about our Constitution and yet she supposedly came into the country by marrying her BROTHER! They’re not good countries. Crime-ridden, don’t do a good job, don’t register for success. We frankly DON’T NEED THEIR PEOPLE…” ~ President Trump

Why should America be forced to babysit the third world? We have no obligation to them – we have obligations to our own citizens. The United States is not the world’s babysitter. Continue reading

A View From Above: ‘Exposing The Dark Side of America’s AI Data Center Explosion

The explosion of AI across every industry has seen hundreds of water – and power-hungry server farms sprout up across the US. Already, one-third of the world’s internet traffic flows through data centers in just one US state: Virginia.

However, until now, there has been no official record of the number of data centers in America, who owns them, or how much electricity they consume. Continue reading

We will ruin your lives‘: Analyst Says Trump’s Floundering MAGA Regime ‘Wreaking Havoc

An analyst Friday said that President Donald Trump’s floundering MAGA regime and “cast of characters” is “wreaking havoc” on Americans’ lives.

Salon’s Brian Karem described how Trump has spent more time on the golf course than caring about the declining economy, and how the writer is “thankful for the growing number of people who understand the truly acidic nature of the most feckless presidential administration of my lifetime.” Continue reading

Theodore Roosevelt Cracks Down on NYC Corruption

Something that NEEDS to take place in New York City TODAY! ~ Editor

It took a 100 years for them to destroy his monopoly laws. That’s why we only have 2 or 3 technological companies controlling the internet right now. Because our government destroys the monopoly laws so that they could do that. They’ve been given special permission to do it just like the sports teams have been given special permission to ignore the monopoly laws. ~ Tony Moore

Ross: The Old Good Cop-Bad Cop Routine (A Message Conservatives DO NOT Want To Hear)

If you’ve ever watched crime dramas or cop shows on TV or the big screen you are probably familiar with the term the title of this essay refers to; the good cop/bad cop interrogation method. Basically, one cop comes across as aggressive, while the other is sympathetic to your plight. What is supposed to happen is that you accept whatever offer the good cop provides in order to stop having to be harassed by the ‘bad’ cop; never realizing you are being played; both cops seek the same goal; a confession or admission of guilt. Continue reading

Socrates: How Our Society Started Worshiping Idiots

This really hit. Socrates warned that when a society stops questioning and starts celebrating ignorance, it destroys itself from within. What’s scary is how accurate that feels today. We don’t reward thinkers anymore — we reward whoever can shout the loudest or look the best doing it. The people who ask real questions get labeled as ‘negative’ or ‘boring.’ This isn’t just about social media, it’s about values. We’ve confused attention for intelligence.

Garrison: Happy Thanksgiving 2025

Last year at this time we published the newly-elected Donald Trump hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for his friends and cabinet. It was a happy cartoon without conflict.

This year, we decided to show the Democrats having their own Thanksgiving dinner. The Democrat socialists are currently befuddled – they’re not even sure who their leader is. It used to be Obama, but he no longer summons up much enthusiasm from his base. They know he got elected twice, got rich, did little for the country, and is now anticipating the opening of his monstrous library – some call it brutalist architecture. Continue reading

Roberts: Thanksgiving’s Origin as a National Holiday

As a national holiday, Thanksgiving originated as war propaganda.

Lincoln and his cabinet, as they were seated at the reading of the proclamation

It was Abe Lincoln in November 1863 who made Thanksgiving a national holiday. The Union Army under Grant had finally won a battle at Shiloh, and the victory called for celebration.

American Indians, or native Americans as some prefer, give no thanks for the Europeans’ arrival or for Lincoln’s victory over the Confederacy. No sooner than Sherman and Sheridan had raped and pillaged the Confederacy than they were sicced on the Plains Indians, Ralph K. Andrist chronicles their extermination in his book, The Long Death: The Last Days of the Plains Indian.

The invasion of the Confederate States of America by the Union has been incorrectly labeled a “civil war” by court historians. It is completely clear that there was no civil war. A civil war is when contesting sides fight for the control of the government. The Confederacy had its own government in Richmond and no interest in the one in Washington. It was the North that invaded the South by sending an army into Virginia where the Union army was defeated at the Battle of Bull Run. Continue reading

Hickman: The Ridiculous Legal Battle Over “The Ugliest Building in America”

In 1871, as the Reconstruction-era US federal government was growing ever larger, work began on a massive office building in Washington DC to house the growing departments of State, War, and Navy.

It would become known as the SWaN building, and it was designed in the high fashion of its time – the grandiose and gaudy French Second Empire style.

Naturally, though, this being a government project, it took 17 years to finish, at which point the architecture was already out of style. Continue reading

Garrison: The Department of Education Gets A Failing Grade

Democrat-run cities are failing when it comes to education. The unsatisfactory results have worsened through the years. Too much taxpayer money has been thrown toward the problem, without seeing any improvement whatsoever. Too many students in the big blue cities graduate while being functionally illiterate. Teachers can’t be fired due to teachers unions. The curriculum has been dumbed down in order to allow students to pass. This is also happening in red states. Continue reading

Socialism Comes to Congress: 98 House Dems Vote Against Measure To Condemn Far-Left Ideology

The Resolution, which passed the House 285-98, came hours before Trump’s meeting with socialist NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

Ninety-eight House Democrats on Friday voted against a resolution “denouncing the horrors of socialism” that came just hours before President Donald Trump met with socialist New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The resolution passed 285-98, with only 86 Democrats voting in favor. Two Democrats voted “present.” No Republicans opposed the resolution. Continue reading
