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!

Benson: Preserving “our democracy

Death of Democracy by gibraltarium

How many times in the past couple years have you heard from some socialist Democrat about the crying need to preserve “our democracy” from all those Americans who have the temerity to disagree with their vision for the future? More times than you can count, I’m willing to bet. It’s like, for them, “democracy” is some sort of secular deity that no one would dare to disagree with. It seems to ruin their whole day when some of us do.

Most who have had the misfortune to have had to attend a public school were never taught the difference between a republic and a democracy. I can’t recall ever hearing the two differentiated, though maybe I did and have just forgotten. School was long, long ago for me. Continue reading

Break the Cycle: In 2024, Say NO to the Government’s Cruelty, Brutality and Abuse

“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” ~ Edmund Burke

Folks, it’s time to break the cycle of abuses – cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable – that have been heaped upon us by the government for way too long.

Here’s just a small sampling of what we suffered through in 2023.

The government failed to protect our lives, liberty and happiness. The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government didn’t listen to the citizenry, refused to abide by the Constitution, and treated the citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers shot unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government agents – including local police – were armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers. Government technicians spied on our emails and phone calls. And government contractors made a killing by waging endless wars abroad.

The president became more imperial. Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific, limited powers, in recent years, American presidents have claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill. The powers amassed by each successive president through the negligence of Congress and the courts – powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler – empower whoever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers. Continue reading

EFFENGEEZER SCROOGE, A CHRISTMAS CAROL 2023

I’ve had several people suggest a drawing of Joe Biden as the ‘Grinch,’ but after careful consideration I decided it would be more fun to draw him as ‘Scrooge.’

I always like watching all the old ‘Scrooge’ movies on TV at this time of year. I prefer the black and white ones. I picture London being black and white in 1843, when Charles Dickens penned the tale – and in fact, Benjamin Franklin described old London as being a smokey, dark place in the mid 1700s. One of the best film versions is the 1935 one starring Seymour Hicks. When he contritely visits his nephew and his nephew’s new wife at the end, he takes a moment to look at their Christmas tree. He sheds a tear because it’s so beautiful.

Unfortunately Biden would never have the Scrooge conversion. He would insult any spirit trying to help him.

How ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ Symbolizes the Triumph of Common Sense

December 9th marked the anniversary of the Christmas TV special which basically birthed all others: “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Most Americans know the plot well. The despondent Charlie Brown who just can’t work up his Christmas cheer amidst crass commercialism. The confident and obnoxious Lucy, who finds the allegedly perfect solution to Charlie Brown’s gloom. The ill-fated Christmas pageant, which confirms Charlie Brown’s status as a loser. And finally, the rebirth of Christmas cheer that comes through Linus’ recitation of the original Christmas story.

But while the basic story is a charming tale with which many of us can empathize, I find the backstory of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” almost more so. Continue reading

Ross: A Christmas Story

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” ~ John 3:16 KJV

One cannot help but notice that Christmas is once again upon us; from the decorations outside people’s homes, to the frantic sales in the stores to boost year end sales. Yet, has Christmas become so commercialized that we have forgotten what we are celebrating? Putting aside the fact that Christ was probably born in April, not December, we are celebrating the birth of the most important human being who ever lived. I have always felt that Christmas was becoming too commercialized, but this year that sentiment is made more poignant by the fact that I have undergone a spiritual awakening, of sorts, over the past 12 months. Christmas, to me, is not about the decorating, the gift giving, or the big family meal; it is about remembering, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.Continue reading

This School Banned Cellphones 4 Years Ago

Here’s how it’s going — and why others are now following suit.

In 2019, San Mateo High School, just south of San Francisco, became the largest school in the United States to become a cellphone-free environment. Now, nearly five years into what began as an experiment, the school considers the change an ongoing success.

“Students are actually talking to one another,” shares Yvonne Shiu, who has been San Mateo’s principal for 17 years. “We’ve had other people on our campus notice, like, ‘Oh my gosh, you can actually see students’ faces and eyes as they’re walking in the hallways and not looking down at their phones.’Continue reading

Kunstler: In the Game of Strip Poker, Someone Ends Up Naked

Time for Us to wake up. The choice could not be more clear. If you want a Fascist Dictatorship, choose Trump. If you want to preserve American Democracy, choose President Biden.”Hollywood pundit Rob Reiner on X

“Joe Biden” is only the most obviously weak device in the feckless and misbegotten regime installed via the blob’s US color revolution of 2020. This sort of coup d’état, you understand, was well-rehearsed by our combined intel, 4-gen war, and propaganda units over prior decades in fractious foreign places like Kyrgyzstan (2005), Egypt (2011), and Ukraine (2014). So, it was only a matter of time before these geniuses turned their political black magic on the home front, against their own citizens. But wasn’t it ol’ Karl Marx himself who observed that tragic history repeats as farce?

Thus, the farcical pageant, in a land of fake everything, of America’s fake government attempting to rescue itself from the web of lies and subterfuge it so cleverly spun for itself to keep all its sundry rackets going. For instance: the preposterous idea that “Joe Biden” is running for reelection. Does anybody over age seven, even in Beverly Hills, believe this whopper? I doubt it. But the absurd meme is repeated endlessly in the relic newspapers and floundering cable news channels, and for one reason: elite members in the party behind all this mischief – that is, the Democratic Party of Chaos – are desperate to avoid prosecution for things like seditious conspiracy to defraud the electorate, bribery, and treason.

Millennial Women in US Are Facing the First ‘Active Decline‘ in Well-Being Since WWII – with Suicides, Debt and Cost of Living All Skyrocketing

For decades, young women have seen steep improvements in their well-being and future prospects – but that appears to be coming to an end

A report by a Washington DC-based think-tank revealed progress for the group has reversed — for the first time since the 1930s.

Researchers at the Population Reference Bureau found the well-being index for millennial women declined to 94 out of 100 for Millennials – a six percent drop from the previous group and the first since the Silent Generation reported a score of 45.

he previous age group – Generation X – reported a well-being score of 100 and Baby Boomers sat at 84.

The report attributed the decline among millennials aged 25 to 34 years old to several factors, including the high maternal mortality rate, which is three times higher than that of their parents — and were the first in the last century to record rising suicide rates.

The report defined millennial women as those born between 1981 and 1999 — and it specifically looked at those who are now between 25 to 34 years old. Continue reading

Voters Admit to Mail Ballot Fraud in 2020 Election

The way to secure our elections is simple: Voting should be in person with photo ID on Election Day

One-in-Five Mail-In Voters Admit They Cheated in 2020 Election.” That’s the five-alarm headline for a new survey by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute.

According to another Rasmussen/Heartland poll, nearly one in five Democrats also want Donald Trump to be imprisoned for life, permanently exiled, or executed if convicted for his claims of election fraud. Executed? Sheesh.

Do you know what the difference is here? Trump failed in his legal and sometimes cockamamie attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The voters who committed fraud succeeded.

Americans Must Choose Between Civilization — or Its Destroyers

The old politics of right versus left have now given way to a new existential struggle.

Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party.

If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts.

Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law.

By fiat, nihilists ended the wall, and stopped detaining and deporting illegal aliens altogether. Continue reading

Benson: A Rude But Spiritual Awakening

In July of 1969 I was “fat, dumb, and happy” like most Christians. I didn’t know much about anything but thought I knew most of it. I had just gotten married at the end of June and was just back from our honeymoon when the Lord grabbed my attention, after which He never let go – not that I’m complaining.

Anyway, I had a few days before I had to go back to work and so one morning my wife and I attended a Bible study at the Episcopal Church we attended. At that point in time lots of Episcopal priests were quite liberal, but the one in our church wasn’t. He was a true believer, conservative, and anti-Communist as well – an unusual combination in that time period – and since.

At any rate, during the Bible study he passed out to all who attended a copy of a book written by Lutheran pastor Richard Wurmbrand called “Tortured for Christ.” Little did I know that morning, but reading that book would change my life. It was the story of a pastor who spent 14 years in jail in Communist Romania simply for the “crime” of being a Christian and preaching the gospel as found in the Holy Bible. Continue reading

As Much As Some Hate It, God Wins In The End

There are those who will hate God’s victory and will fight against it in this world. But in the final analysis, they can do nothing about it. I woke up early this morning for some reason and as I lay there, some of the words from Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” came to mind which I will note here – “Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. Were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that might be? Christ Jesus, it is he. Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same. And He must win the battle.” Continue reading

Ross: The Paradox

The Ultimate Paradox?

In this Oct. 21, 2019, photo, a poster promoting a cartoon version George Orwell’s novel “Animal … [+] ASSOCIATED PRESS

The people of this country will never fix what is wrong with this country as long as they cannot come to any sort of agreement as to what function government is supposed to serve. If you listen to people debate politics, (who should hold office, and what they should be allowed to do once they get there), you will find a wide variety of thoughts as to what things government should do. Some think government should created jobs; others think it should keep the world safe; while there are others who believe it should provide benefits for those in need. Continue reading

GOP-Led House Expels George Santos But Not Terrorist Sympathizer Rashida Tlaib

                        Quit “Draggin’ your ass around!

Rep. George Santos, or, now-former Rep. George Santos, has denied allegations that he moonlighted as a drag queen named “Kitara Ravache.” But maybe he would have been smart to embrace it — no Democrat could have voted to expel a drag queen from the lower chamber!

On Friday, House Democrats voted nearly unanimously along with 105 Republicans to expel the freshman representative from New York. It’s worth noting that Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, meanwhile, received a mere censure over her antisemitic activism and solidarity with Hamas terrorists. Continue reading

The White House Goes Rogue: Secret Surveillance Program Breaks All the Laws

We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government.” ~ William O. Douglas, dissenting in Osborn v. United States (1966)

The government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying programs as long as we’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t believe it.

It doesn’t matter whether you obey every law. The government’s definition of a “bad” guy is extraordinarily broad, and it results in the warrantless surveillance of innocent, law-abiding Americans on a staggering scale. Continue reading

China’s Growing Espionage and Propaganda Threat in the U.S.

Congress warns America has little grasp at how deep the Communist Party’s influence has infiltrated communities across the nation

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) presence on American soil has already revealed itself in the network of secret police stations in major cities and the ‘Little Red Classrooms’ in kindergartens.

The US has little grasp of how deep China’s network of espionage and influence operations runs through the nation, a dire warning from Congress has revealed.

Now, members of the bipartisan House China Select Committee have released a memo detailing how the U.S. has failed to combat Beijing’s infiltration – and it could get worse. Continue reading
