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!

Bishop: Government Statistics Are Always Political

In the age of Trump, even the most boring of political positions can find themselves in the center of the political news cycle. In recent weeks, it has been the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After severe revisions to previous job reports, Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and has nominated E.J. Antoni, who – if nothing else – has claimed to be a fan of Murray Rothbard.

Usually a changing of the guard at a position such as this would go on with little fanfare. In fact, one of the reasons why BLS Commissioners typically overlap from presidential administration to presidential administration is that it has traditionally been seen as a low-priority position for a president’s agenda.

So why has this become an issue now? Continue reading

This is the age of science. We are led by facts and data, not faith and superstition.

That’s what we’ve been told for centuries. And mostly we have believed it. We have good medicines, tremendous technologies, and instant information about everything. This is the product of science.

And yet, every orthodoxy is subject to abuse when it is no longer questioned. This is what we’ve experienced for some years now. When the scientists come along with schemes to change our lives in ways that contradict intuition, we are right to question them. Continue reading

Hickman: Clearest Proof That The Bureaucratic State Needs to Go

Welcome to Alligator Alcatraz – the detention center in the middle of the swampy Everglades, surrounded by razor wire, armed guards, and actual alligators.

Formally known as the Everglades Transitional Detention Center, it was built by the state of Florida inside federal land managed by the National Park Service, designed to detain illegal immigrants apprehended under Florida law.

The facility went up in record time – especially for a government project – complete with fences, floodlights, sewage and power systems, and modular housing pods for hundreds of detainees. Continue reading

Meet the GREAT Corn-Holion!

Bryan Kohberger has demanded a transfer inside the maximum security prison he now calls home-following harassment by fellow inmates.

Bryan Kohberger – Payback is a Beotch!

The mass killer who broke into an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, and slaughtered four students in the dead of the night has filed multiple written complaints to prison officials since he was sent to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna less than a month ago.

In the first handwritten note, seen by People, the 30-year-old complained that ‘verbal threats/harassment’ and ‘recent flooding/striking’ – where inmates intentionally cause flooding in their cells – had made J block somewhere he didn’t wish to be.

‘Not engaging in any of the recent flooding/striking as well as being subject to minute-by-minute verbal threats/harassment and on that and other bases [sic] Unit 2 of J-Block is an environment that I wish to transfer from,’ he wrote.

Kohberger asked to be transferred out of J block’s restrictive housing unit to B block, where inmates are also held in single cells. Continue reading

Smith: Why Do We Live in a Two-Faced World?

Most people accept the moral prohibitions on lying, murdering, and stealing in their personal lives as well as in their business affairs. Why, then, does government – which is run by people – get a pass? Is ethics irrelevant in government affairs?

The answer is yes, because there is no one to hold the government accountable. By its nature as a state, it is above accountability. As Rothbard elaborately explained, the state is a criminal gang writ large, an organization not subject to its laws because of its monopoly of violence. Jefferson’s notion of binding men down by the chains of the Constitution was easily broken by government intrigue.

Blame for the absence of government morals is sometimes laid on a loss of religious faith among citizens and the ones they elect. But a Pew Research Religious Landscape Study (RLS), conducted in 2007, 2014, and 2023-24, revealed an overwhelming majority of Christians and non-Christians alike regard theft, murder, and lying as violations of honest living. They may have lost their faith in a higher power, but their professed morals were unshaken. Continue reading

McCullough: No Boots, No Bluster, No Problem

President Donald J. Trump did something this week that no other modern American president has been able to do when it comes to foreign entanglements: he proved you can keep your promises and keep America safe — all while telling the world’s worst actors exactly where they can stick their aggression.

On Tuesday, in the aftermath of marathon meetings with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and a cadre of European leaders, Trump announced what has always been the missing ingredient in this conflict: clarity. He was unequivocal — the United States will not send American troops to the ground in Ukraine. Period. End of discussion. Continue reading

Smith: AI Is a Mirror in Which We See Our Own Reflection

AI is not so much a tool that everyone uses in more or less the same way, but a mirror in which we see our own reflection – if we care to look.

Attention has been riveted on what AI can do for the three years since the unveiling of ChatGPT, but very little attention has been paid to what the human user is bringing to the exchange.

If we pay close attention to what the human brings to the exchange, we find that AI is not so much a tool that everyone uses in more or less the same way, but a mirror in which we see our own reflection–if we care to look, and we might not, for what AI reflects may well be troubling.

What we see in the AI mirror reflects the entirety of our knowledge, our emotional state and our yearnings.

Harris: Democrats’ New Identity, Depravity, and Debt

Americans don’t want socialists running their cities or inexperienced, foul-mouthed thugs like AOC and Crockett dictating how to run their lives. The Democratic Party is short on class and money, but more importantly, short on solutions!

The Democrats have concluded that the most effective way to regain the support of the American public is to adopt a more crude and unrefined approach. With leaders like Jasmine Crockett and others in similar positions, the use of F-bombs has become a common feature in their speeches at rallies and other public events. Continue reading

DeWeese: The Growing Life Crisis Facing Our Youth

Is the American dream dead?

Well, here’s a shocker!

YOUR CHILDREN MAY NEVER HAVE A FAMILY AND OWN THEIR OWN HOME!!!

According to a new report from Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene, right now – today, only 12% of 30-year-old Americans are married and have a home of their own.

Marriage and homeownership were never just personal milestones. They were family. They were the means for building personal family wealth and independence.

In other words, family and home ownership are vital to our culture, our society, and to our freedom and independence!

Whitehead ~ The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” ~ H.L. Mencken

Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats.

What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic.

This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns.

This is martial law disguised as law-and-order – the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Continue reading

DeWeese: Private Property Rights Are the Key to Freedom)

The increasing encroachment of government regulations, pontificating politicians, and the enforcement of Social Justice schemes have led to a loss of understanding of the terms private property and property rights. It was once understood that the unauthorized entering of private property was a violation to the utmost. The property owner was justified and supported in taking necessary actions to remove the trespasser and secure that land.

Today, such ideas are considered radical, old fashioned, out of touch, and even reprehensible. The homeowner can be arrested for defending against an armed intruder. The intruder can actually sue a homeowner for shooting them even as the intruder breaks down the door intending to rob and do harm. Home protection is called violence, perhaps even racism. It’s a whole new world of compliance, fear, and acceptance rather than pride, protection, and prosperity in ownership. Continue reading

Men are Men

Welcome back, Men of America. It is now time to man-up and take back control of America from the girly-men who have been trying to destroy America for the last 100 years.

Men are men, and there is nothing toxic about masculinity. Since the early 1980s, there has been an underground movement to feminize American men as a result of the women’s liberation movement. Somehow, in the twisted minds of certain elements of American society, to liberate women required diminishing the stature of men. This wrongheaded approach has been particularly embraced by the Democrat Party, when we saw men in dresses and high heels as part of the recently deposed Biden administration. Men in dresses, high heels, and women’s sports has done nothing to enhance women’s liberation. In fact, these girly-men denigrated women’s stature and women’s sports. Continue reading

DeWeese: Social Justice, Destruction of Property Rights, and Government Tyranny (Part One)

You are a poor minority living in a government housing project called “Affordable.” It’s all paid for by the tax dollars of mostly middle-income Americans. Included are still more government programs that are providing monthly checks and coupons to supply food, free healthcare, free education, and let’s also throw in free cell phones. Continue reading

Health Tech Companies Commit to Trump’s Plan to Share YOUR Medical Records With Hundreds of Systems

Major health tech companies have agreed to work with the Trump administration to make their clients’ medical records available across multiple healthcare systems.

The administration announced that tech and insurance companies including Google, Amazon, OpenAI, UnitedHealth Group and CVS will roll out new apps powered by AI where users can upload their health records to access whenever they need them, making them more accessible and shareable among patients and their doctors.

While supporters say the move will help make the fragmented health record system more accessible to patients, privacy experts have raised concerns about the potential risks. Continue reading

The Knowledge Gap Costing Millions of Americans Bigger Social Security Benefits

Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of seniors.

But a revealing new study has shown how a stark knowledge gap may be costing Americans larger payments in retirement.

Only a quarter of Americans are aware that you can maximize your monthly payments by waiting to receive them until the age of 70.

That is according to a study from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the benefit program. Continue reading
