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 Dangerous Rise of Judicial Supremacy

Courts today routinely override not only executive policy decisions, but the constitutional authority of presidents – thereby replacing legal clarity with judicial chaos. But the U.S. Supreme Court has a chance to correct the course

The Supreme Court has once again agreed to hear a case that strikes at the heart of the constitutional separation of powers. In Trump v. CASA – heard Thursday, May 15, in oral arguments – the justices will decide “Whether the Supreme Court should stay the district courts’ nationwide preliminary injunctions on the Trump administration’s Jan. 20 executive order ending birthright citizenship except as to the individual plaintiffs and identified members of the organizational plaintiffs or states.” Continue reading

Trump Wins Supreme Court Ruling in 6-3 Decision

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of President Donald Trump, allowing him to dismiss heads of independent agencies, including Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Court noted that preventing Trump from terminating these officials would impose greater burdens than those faced by Wilcox and Harris, who argued they could only be removed for cause under federal law. Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that the decision balances the executive power vested in the presidency. Continue reading

CNN Guest Describes Donald Trump’s Whole Personality In Just 3 Words

If insulting terms for Donald Trump are your jam, Wednesday was a very good day indeed.

First, it was revealed that Wall Street investors are using the term “TACO ― Trump Always Chickens Out” to describe Trump’s economic policies and his erratic approach of announcing massive tariffs that cause the markets to plunge, only to back off a short time later, allowing them to rise back up again.

Savvy market watchers are taking advantage of “TACO” by buying beaten-down stocks, waiting for Trump to wimp out and take advantage of the inevitable rebound. Continue reading

Garrison: AutoPenGate Continues!

Who’s driving the Auto-pen?

Joe Biden wasn’t just asleep at the wheel during his term, he wasn’t even at the wheel. He was so incapacitated that he was reduced to a mere figurehead who spent most of his time at his beach house or on vacation.

For all the Democrats’ hyperbole about ‘our democracy,’ there was very little of it going on at the White House. It was an autocracy, or to be even clearer, an autopen-ocracy.

All of the documents signed using the autopen should be rendered null and void. It’s easy to see which orders were signed with the autopen because the signatures are exactly the same. It’s time to throw out those documents along with the autopen machine itself.

Whitehead ~ The Algocracy Agenda: How AI and the Deep State Are Digitizing Tyranny

“If one company or small group of people manages to develop godlike digital superintelligence, they could take over the world. At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.” ~ Elon Musk

The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced.

Replaced not by a charismatic autocrat or even a shadowy bureaucracy, but by artificial intelligence (AI) – unfeeling, unaccountable, and immortal.

As we stand on the brink of a new technological order, the machinery of power is quietly shifting into the hands of algorithms. Continue reading

DiLorenzo: True Conspiracies

Democrats have ceased to function as a political party and should now be regarded as a terrorist organization operating from within the very halls of our government to undermine our country…It’s called TREASON! Conspiracies no longer

Instead of True Confessions, we need to begin a series of True Conspiracies. Confessions are rare, but conspiracies are plentiful, especially the ones that have come true.

We have documented nearly all of the Democrat scandals that we believe have serious merit, including the 2020 election fraud, the conspiracies surrounding COVID, the vaccine-related deaths, and the global cooling hoax of the seventies that evolved into global warming and then simply climate change. We documented the phony Trump/Russian story and noted that 15-20 million unvetted illegal immigrants crossed our ‘closed’ border, along with half a million criminals. We have become well-versed in the two-tiered justice system that the Democrats have implemented, along with the numerous federal judges who have attempted to subvert established law and create new precedents.

Bye-Bye President Trump? May 29, 2025

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff

Social Security Shock as Retired Workers Set to Get Historic Payout Starting in June
Payouts to Social Security beneficiaries are a necessity, and cover a part of the expenses of at least nine out of ten retirees, as per Gallup polls.

The average monthly benefit for each category in April was about $1,755.57.

However, due to an increase in the cost of living, the June payout will surpass $2,000 for the first time in the SSA’s history… (Continue to full article)

U.S. Genocidal Madness Has Never Ended!
How then can the US society come to terms with its past? How can it acknowledge responsibility? The late Native historian Jack Forbes always stressed that while living persons are not responsible for what their ancestors did, they are responsible for the society they live in, which is a product of that past, assuming this responsibility provides a means of survival and liberation.

Everyone and everything in the world is affected, for the most part negatively, by US dominance and intervention, often violently through direct military means or through proxies

Those of us who write about the heinous Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, although we are most often met with blind indifference by the bulk of society, continue to expose this evil in the midst of this torturous death of innocents… (Continue to full article)

Thanks To Donald Trump, The American Dream Is Dead
Donald Trump’s so-called “voluntary deportation” program is yet another example of how he is killing the alleged “American Dream.”

There was once a time when the phrase “The American Dream” evoked images of opportunity—a place where hard work could elevate anyone, no matter their race, origin, or zip code; a melting pot of possibility. But in today’s America, that dream isn’t just fading—it’s been put on life support, and Donald Trump is hovering over it with a pillow.

With the latest rollout of Trump’s “voluntary deportation” initiative—complete with a convenient app, CBP Home, and a $1,000 travel stipend—his administration has made one thing painfully clear: the American Dream is no longer inclusive… (Continue to full article)

The U.S. Debt Crisis Is Worse Than You Think
America’s $36 trillion debt has experts on edge — here’s what’s really at stake.

Major firms are sounding the alarm on America’s growing debt problem with Moody’s recently downgrading the country’s credit rating. Brett Ewing, chief market strategist at First Franklin Financial Services, joined TheStreet to break down just how serious the problem is and what it could mean for everyday Americans.

We’re sitting around $40 trillion in debt, and we’re running close to a 7% deficit right now.

We still have a lot of room to work with to get that under control over the next decade. And there’s some major things that can be done here in the short run… (Continue to full article)

“Liberation Day” is Cancelled: Trump’s Global Tariffs Ruled Illegal
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump did not have the authority to set unilateral tariffs

A federal court ruled that Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he attempted to set unilateral 10% tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners.

The U.S. Court of International Trade said that the president’s emergency powers justification for the tariffs didn’t pass muster, in a ruling issued on Wednesday. The three-judge panel objected to the Trump administration’s argument that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act granted “unbounded tariff authority” to the executive branch. In their ruling, they called for a narrow reading of the act and the powers it grants… (Continue to full article)

Goodbye to Traditional Gas Stations in the US
Walmart, Costco, and Dollar General are jumping headfirst into the fuel business in the US

Electrification may be the future, but Walmart, Costco, and Dollar General seem unfazed, they’re becoming gas giants. Wait, what? That’s right. These three major retailers are opening more gas stations. But don’t be mistaken. This isn’t an improvised move, it’s a calculated response to the slow energy transition and the need to build customer loyalty in a fiercely competitive environment.

Of course, it’s all about evolve or die. So these three giants have decided to adapt by turning their parking lots into fuelling centres, but not for electric vehicles. Walmart has already announced more than 45 new gas stations across the U.S., while Costco is extending the hours of its members-only fuel stations. Dollar General, meanwhile, is experimenting with gas stations in the southern part of the country. But weren’t we transitioning to electric? What’s going on??? (Continue to full article)

SCOTUS Sides with Trump to Revoke Legal Status from 300k Venezuelans
Come hell or high water, President Trump is going to keep his promise to deport criminal illegal aliens out of your country and god bless him for it.

President Trump is doing everything he can to keep illegal aliens out of this country as well as put an end to Biden era programs that allowed for a mass invasion under the guise of compassion or even “legal status.”

He’s getting a little help from the high court. .. (Continue to full article)

Trump: Executive Order Will Cause Drug Prices to Fall
Trump says prescription drug prices will drop in a matter of weeks due to an executive order he signed.

The order calls on the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker lower prices for drugs.

If a deal isn’t reached, a new rule will kick in that will tie the price of what the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries… (Continue to full article)

More than half of Americans want to see mass roundups and deportations of undocumented immigrants

Deportation Flights to Venezuela Soar, Outpacing Previous Four-Year Total
At least 3,078 Venezuelans have been deported since January, compared to 3,256 deported over the entire 2019–2023 period under both the Trump and Biden administrations

In just four months, the Trump administration has deported more Venezuelans than during the previous four years combined, according to a new report.

The surge comes as President Donald Trump intensifies immigration enforcement, including the removal of women and children – despite claims that deportations are targeting those with criminal records. According to Venezuelan nonprofit Votoscopio, which tracks repatriation flights, 273 women and 29 children are among the recent deportees… (Continue to full article)

Democrats Push to Strip Trump of Power Over U.S. Marshals as Judges Face Threats
Amid a surge in threats against federal judges, Senate Democrats will formally introduce legislation Thursday to transfer control of the U.S. Marshals Service to the court system itself.

The legislation specifies that the presidential administration would lose its authority over the Marshals. The law enforcement agency is currently part of the Department of Justice, and among other things, it is tasked with protecting federal judges, courthouses and court workers.

Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who is leading the effort, said the change would help insulate U.S. Marshals from possible interference and politicization by the Trump administration… (Continue to full article)

Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez allegedly lived under a stolen identity for 20 years, illegally voting and obtaining $400,000 in US benefits

Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez, 59, also obtained welfare benefits, a REAL ID and eight other state ID’s, the Justice Department said.

Orovio-Hernandez allegedly used the stolen identity to submit a fraudulent voter registration in January 2023, and cast a ballot in last year’s presidential election, prosecutors said. She was captured on surveillance camera at a bank wearing an “I voted” sticker on Nov. 5, 2024, Election Day, according to court documents… (Continue to full article)

Trump Wins Multiple Manufacturing Deals
Trump has announced significant foreign and domestic investments totaling nearly $9 trillion since he took office. Many of the investments reportedly originate from prior announcements, causing critics to express concern about their accuracy. Trump asserted that the commitments demonstrate the success of his economic policies, which have focused on lower taxes, tariffs, energy expansion, and advancements in artificial intelligence.

Trump said, “I think we probably have close to $9 trillion of investments coming into this country.” He added, “If you look at other presidents, there’s never been anything like that.” (Continue to full article)

We Need Constitutional Judges, Not Political Activists

Svante Myrick recently attacked President Trump’s work for religious freedom, as well as our organization’s work on judicial nominations at the American Family Association Action’s Center for Judicial Renewal.

Our standard for evaluating future federal judges is simple: we seek judges “with the best long-term, demonstrable record of commitment to the constitutional role of judges, which is to decide cases according to the original meaning of the Constitution and legislative texts, and to never legislate from the bench.” Continue reading

Four Supreme Court Justices Refuse to Read the First Amendment

Heah cum de Judges…

The Supreme Court has deadlocked on the question of religious charter schools, thanks to four justices who didn’t bother reading what the First Amendment says about separation of church and state.

Four Supreme Court Justices wanted to make it legal for taxpayer dollars to fund religious charter schools.

The Supreme Court produced a 4–4 deadlock on Thursday on the question of whether an Oklahoma religious school could take part in the state’s publicly funded charter school programs. Continue reading

United HellCare: One of America’s Biggest Companies Is Imploding

UnitedHealth Group, one of America’s biggest corporations and a member of the exclusive Dow Jones Industrial Average, is suddenly unraveling.

The crisis engulfing UnitedHealth hit a crescendo this week when CEO Andrew Witty stepped down abruptly for “personal reasons.”

UnitedHealth also swiftly abandoned its financial guidance, blaming skyrocketing medical costs.

And then The Wall Street Journal dropped the hammer, revealing that UnitedHealth is under federal criminal investigation for possible Medicare fraud.

The developments have stunned investors, triggering a dramatic loss of confidence. UnitedHealth’s (UNH) stock has lost half its value – a staggering $288 billion – in the span of a month. Its share price plunged on Thursday to its lowest level since April 2020, during the height of the pandemic. Continue reading

Bono: ‘The world has never been closer to a world war in my lifetime

This image released by Apple TV+ shows Bono, lead singer of the Irish rock band U2, in a scene from the documentary “Bono: Stories of Surrender.” (Apple TV+ via AP)

CANNES, France (AP) — Cannes is a short trip from Bono’s seaside villa in Eze-sur-Mer. He bought it with The Edge in 1993, and considers himself grateful to a coastline that, he says, gave him a “delayed adolescence.”

I can tell you I’ve slept on beaches close to here,” Bono says with a grin. “I’ve woken up in the sun.” Continue reading

Meet Bob… The American Pope Who Still Has to File US Taxes

I still can’t get over the fact that there’s an American pope… and that his friends refer to him as ‘Bob’.

Bob. It just makes him seem like a regular dude who’d be drinking a beer and shouting at the umpire at a Cubs game.

Something else that makes the new Pope seem extremely down to earth is that he shares the same pain as 100+ millions of his fellow Americans: paying taxes.

Clergy are considered employees of the Church and generally receive salaries, which means they must pay taxes just like anyone else. Continue reading

Trump Writes CON-gress out of the Constitution – and CON-gress Says “Fine

The question regarding the Qatari plane deal isn’t whether it’s corrupt or illegal. It’s both of those…

The question is, who will stop it?

Having brought Congress completely to heel in the political sphere, Donald Trump is now seeking to write it out of the Constitution. Both of his biggest moves of the past week entail the evisceration of a constitutional role the Framers very plainly and expressly wanted Congress to play.

That is the case for the flirtation with suspension of habeas corpus, which only Congress can do. And it’s even more manifest in Trump’s plan to accept a $400 million (or is it $625 million?) jumbo jet “palace in the sky” from the Qatari government. Continue reading

Hickman: The “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL” Tax Bill Is the Opposite of What America Needs

In the year 428 BC, ancient Athenians imposed a special tax called the eisphora that targeted local business investments in the city-state.

It was expensive and highly unpopular among investors. And wealthy Athenians simply stopped investing in local businesses to avoid the tax.

This is almost an iron-clad lesson of history: whenever governments tax something, they end up with less of it. And the inverse is also true: whenever governments subsidize or cut taxes on something, they end up with more of it. Continue reading

Is Trump Out of Touch, Senile, Nuts, or Something Worse?

It was the cringiest of times. It was the craziest of times.

Do-Whack-a-Doo-doo-doo!

Welcome to a moment in which one of the most consequential debates Americans (and people the world across) are having is about whether the President of the United States is just a national embarrassment or has full-on blown a gasket. Is Donald Trump just three fries short of a happy meal, or is he full-on howling-at-the-moon mad? Continue reading

US Advises Older Adults Not to Receive Chikungunya Vaccine ~ for Now

Here we go … AGAIN!

European authorities have paused administration of the shot over safety concerns.

U.S. officials are recommending that adults aged 60 and up not receive the only available chikungunya vaccine after reports that older individuals who received the shot suffered severe symptoms typically associated with the chikungunya virus.

Two of the patients died. Continue reading
