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 Real Reason America Created Public Schools — It Had Nothing to Do With Education

“The real reason America created public schools… had nothing to do with education.”

It’s a bold claim – but the truth is more complex, and far more interesting than the headline suggests.

Public education in the United States began taking shape in the 19th century, especially during the Common School Movement led by Horace Mann. His goal wasn’t to avoid education – it was to expand it. At the time, schooling was inconsistent, often private, and inaccessible to many families. Public schools were created to provide free, basic education to all children, regardless of social class.

But education wasn’t the only purpose. These schools also aimed to create a more stable and unified society. In a rapidly growing nation with waves of immigration and industrial change, leaders saw schools as a way to teach shared values, civic responsibility, and basic skills needed for work and participation in society.

We The People

Larry Schreiber wrote this song to remind us all that Government serves you and me! We have power over the Government, not the other way around.

Winning War on Poverty Has to Include Better Decisions From Those the Left Is Trying to Help

Notice something about those steps. The government can’t purchase them. They are choices each individual must make.

The Left’s compassion has inflicted a terrible price on America’s poor.

In 1964, former President Lyndon B. Johnson declared an “unconditional war on poverty.” He warned it “will not be a short or easy struggle,” but that “the richest nation on earth can afford to win it.”

He was right that it wouldn’t be a short or easy struggle. Johnson and Congress created a host of new federal programs, including the Job Corps, Head Start and the Office of Economic Opportunity. His “Great Society” programs included Medicare and Medicaid. In 1965, he signed a housing bill that included rent subsidies. Continue reading

Rossiter: Nailed It!

If serving in an elected office ever becomes a career, corruption will surely follow.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

This is a subject I have addressed in the past and am still passionate about. In my estimation Jefferson nailed it. Now that corruption in government is socially acceptable for public discussion, I’ll hit it again. Continue reading

Stuter: SPLC Showing Its True Colors

Editor’s NOTE: The following column was written by the author on the date posted below. The original writing was published by News With Views – which no longer carries Lynn’s writings. You will note that there are are numerous color-coded “links” throughout this column – and yet – due to the age of the column – NONE of the colored links are active. ~ Editor of the Federal Observer.

March 25, 2008 ~ A recent article appeared in the Sierra Vista Herald newspaper of Sierra Vista, Arizona in which Glenn Spencer of American Border Patrol became the target of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). According to the SPLC, the American Border Patrol is a “hate group.”

Going on the SPLC website, clicking on “hate map” and clicking on Arizona, one discovers that, sure enough, there is American Border Patrol listed as “anti-immigrant.” Continue reading

DeWeese: It’s Time to Bring the Southern Poverty Law Center to Justice!


~ Forward ~
I wrote the following article in January 2018, after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had written four separate reports on me, listing me and the American Policy Center on their hate list and calling me a liar for exposing Agenda 21 as a global agenda for the “reorganization of Human society,” Finally the SPLC is under federal investigation for their lies and crimes. This article reveals that their tactics and influences go much further than just paying the KKK to promote false right-winged hate speech. For years the SPLC has been used by the federal government as a legitimate resource, resulting in creating federal policy against those who have actively stood for Constitutional law. Read my original article and understand the full threat of the SPLC. Here it is:

There are many powerful forces operating today across the nation to divide the American people and silence opposing views. One of the most active of these efforts is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

There are two very serious reasons why the SPLC is in many ways more dangerous than other organizations that are fueling the flames of the far-left radicals who use violence and lies to stop honest political debate. Continue reading

Finney: The SPLC Faces Accountability for Years of Manufacturing Hate

~ Dedication ~

This article is dedicated to two people, unjustly targeted by the SPLC. Jackie Juntti (Grassroots Granny) was targeted by the SPLC because of her defense of Glenn Spencer, of the American Border Patrol.

Jackie was portrayed, by the hate-mongering SPLC, to be a “hard-core nativist” while Glen Spencer was portrayed as a “vitriolic Mexican-basher”; both because they stood against the illegal alien invasion of the United States.

Both Jackie and Glenn are no longer with us; but may they see the justice against the SPLC they never got to see while among us.

We Will Rebuild – Defiant Protest Song of Hope, Democracy, and Resistance

If you are offended by this post – then it is past time for you to WTF up! ~ Editor

We Will Rebuild” is a powerful modern protest song of determination and hope, written for those who refuse to accept authoritarianism, political violence, and the erosion of democracy under Donald Trump, MAGA extremism, and complicit Republicans in Congress. Blending folk-rock urgency with an anthemic, sing-along chorus, the song confronts the collapse of accountability – from courts and Congress to international norms – while insisting that resistance rooted in ballots, voices, and collective courage will prevail. With lyrics that reject fear, strongman politics, and billionaire worship, “We Will Rebuild” channels peaceful protest, global solidarity, and moral resolve, declaring that defeating Trumpism is only the beginning – and that rebuilding a just America grounded in the rule of law, democratic values, and social justice is both possible and necessary.

Ellis: America Reads the Bible — but Will We Live It?

The real question facing America is not whether we can quote scripture, but whether we know it, understand it, and live it.

As Americans look ahead to the 250th anniversary of our founding, there is a renewed emphasis on returning to the principles that shaped this nation. One encouraging sign is the growing participation in efforts like this week’s “America Reads the Bible” — a public acknowledgment that Scripture has been, and must remain, foundational to our national identity.

I had the privilege of participating, alongside several others from the American Family Association and American Family Radio, joining voices across the country to read the Word of God aloud. It was a meaningful reminder of something our culture too often forgets: Scripture is not merely a historical artifact. It is living truth. Continue reading

DeBlasi: What Made Us American Before The Country Turned Left

Those who minimize or dismiss the adverse side effects of America’s “transformation” reveal a failure to regard social and political progress with the seriousness it demands.

My father worked on the docks of New York City when America’s economy was booming before 1929. As with many Europeans of economically depressed countries at the end of World War I, he left his native country to seek a new life in America, which was calling for the extra muscle needed to build a brand new, modern infrastructure . . . from subways and skyscrapers in New York to infinitely more from coast to coast.

Then came the Great Crash of ’29, stopping the great momentum, dramatically illustrated in 1931 when New York’s fantastic new Empire State Building opened its doors in the middle of the Great Depression. Continue reading

Adams: The American Empire Will End in Poverty and Despair

Introduction: The Fraying Fabric of an Empire

I look at the world in 2026, and I no longer see a beacon of liberty, but a dying empire stumbling toward its own ruin. This is not a sentiment born of pessimism, but of cold observation. The American project, hijacked by a nexus of central banking, perpetual war, and crony capitalism, has embarked on a suicide mission.

The endpoint, I am convinced, will not be a soft landing into mediocrity. It will be a violent descent into widespread poverty, social chaos, and despair. The evidence is no longer in the periphery; it is the central plot of our national story. Every policy, from the funding of foreign wars to the relentless debasement of our currency, is systematically stripping the American people of their wealth, their autonomy, and their future.

The Times, They are a Changin’ … and Changin’ and Changin’…

In fact, it seems Trump’s deadlines NEVER stop changing.

President Trump redefined his indefinite ceasefire today to a definite 3-5-day ceasefire, if 3-5 days can be called definite. Yesterday the schedule was “until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.” Now it’s 3-5 days.

It happens that 3-5 days is also just the right timeframe for the arrival of the third US aircraft carrier to the gulf region. The USS George HW Bush will be back on the prowl within hunting distance of Iran’s shores by this weekend. Continue reading

The Salty Citizen: Cease Fires and Shots Fired… Another Day in DC

Could there be one more thing on fire at home and abroad? If it’s not enemies ceasing to fire, it’s friendly fire from within.

As of April 2026, the United States feels like it’s juggling a few too many flaming swords—some overseas, some right here at home.

A fragile (and slightly confusing) ceasefire situation with Iran is hovering over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil chokepoints in the world. Meanwhile, political drama stateside is doing its best to keep up.

Let’s start offshore. Continue reading

Garrison: “Virginia Is for… Backstabbers”

Virginia is for Lovers” — that was the old slogan.

Now, thanks to Governor Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat crew, it’s looking a lot more like “Virginia is for Backstabbers“.

Today, April 21st, Virginians head to the polls for a special redistricting referendum. Many Republican voters who helped put Spanberger in office as a supposed “moderate” are waking up with a knife in their backs. She campaigned as a reasonable Democrat focused on kitchen-table issues.

We Should Not Fear The Tyrants; The Tyrants Should Fear Us!

In our society, we do not push psychopaths off the ice when nobody is looking. In our society, we let them rule the world.

If there were a thousand people living on an island, and one of them began making life miserable for everyone else, there would soon be 999 people living on the island.

How strange, then, that a few oligarchs and empire managers get to push around an entire planet full of humans. Continue reading

Warning Over Statue of Liberty Terror Attack Ahead of America’s 250 Celebrations

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum issued a chilling warning about a potential terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty as the U.S. marks the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Speaking during a news conference in New York, Burgum lauded the U.S. Park Police, the oldest federal agency in the country, discussing their integral role in American history.

As he spoke about their work protecting the Statue of Liberty – one of America’s most iconic landmarks – he noted that it appears in images on most terrorist recruiting sites, warning that it could become the target of an attack one day.

“The Statue of Liberty, by the way, is the most featured image on terrorist recruiting sites,” Burgum said. “It’s the thing that, if someone could wreck our 250th anniversary…”

He went on to say that the U.S. Park Police screens over 4 million people who visit the monument each year before they board the iconic ferry that takes them to the island on which it sits.

“They protect the National Mall, the Golden Gate Recreation Area, but when you’re here on this ground today, at least 26,000 acres, the law enforcement for this national recreation is not the Metro – it’s not New York. It’s the U.S Park Police,” he said. Continue reading
