RAPID RESPONSE...Daily Commentary on News of the Day

This is a new section. It will offer fresh, quick reactions by myself to news and events of the day, day by day, in this rapid-fire world of ours. Of course, as in military campaigns, a rapid response in one direction may occasionally have to be followed by a "strategic withdrawal" in another direction. Charge that to "the fog of war", and to the necessary flexibility any mental or military campaign must maintain to be effective. But the mission will always be the same: common sense, based upon facts and "real politick", supported by a visceral sense of Justice and a commitment to be pro-active. That's all I promise.

"PAST IS PROLOGUE."

This truism has never been more true.
And the basis for this is the constancy of Human Nature, regardless of the tools and toys it has to deal with.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: "There is properly no History. There is only Biography"
Henry Kissinger spoke constantly of the "tragedy" of history.
The recent Passing of Dick Cheney brought with it a summary of events since the 1980's:
President Reagan and the Soviet Union;
The attempt at assassination of President Bush the elder; the Middle East was against Saddam Hussein;
9/11...;
The two-decade wars against Iraq, Afganistan and the related fundamentalist Muslims;
The forever wars against the Jewish people and israel.
See the recent WSJ article by Barton Swaim, "Tucker Carlson’s Bible Study" (November 20, 2025, Opinion, pA15).

And despite the promising inroads achieved by President Trump, Fundamentalist Islam continues to be a constant Danger to the rest of us.
See the book by Douglas Murray entitled: "The Strange Death Of Europe". (Bloomsbury Continuum, 2017).

THE MOTTO: STAY ALERT. AND KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY!

TUESDAY through FRIDAY, November 11 thorugh 14, 2025

TIME FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF "POT POURRI", AS I TRY TO KEEP UP WITH "NEWS OF THE DAY".
Related references will be mostly from the Opinion and Editorial pages of the WSJ of recent weeks,
as well as from The Epoch Times, AARP, and The Day. There's a lot going on.

President Trump, the USSC, The International Emergency Economic Powers Act - and TARIFFS. This is a Big issue currently before the USSC. The President should win this one, although by a small margin.
A substantial of part of OBAMACARE is set to end this year. It is past time for Congress to set to work on an efficient and affordable alternative after that Christmas Tree.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more expensive...and more and more fragile. But will its sponsors do anything about its problems?
Many colleges including Harvard are admitting a problem with GRADE INFLATION, especially "A". And that is beside their embrace of Leftist Ideology. Is that what we expect of them?
Former Speaker Pelosi has announced her coming Resignation. When will Senate Minority Leader Schumer announce his?
Is "Trump Derangement Syndrome REAL"? According to professional psychologists - and to the rest of us...YES.
Work and ...or...Family: A Woman's Dilemma. But Don't Wait Too Long.
The AARP has some good articles. Check out "Living Alone" and also the report on the life and times of Sylvester Stallone.

More to come - but not now.

SATURDAY through MONDAY, November 1 thorugh 10, 2025

IT HAS BEEN SAID: "THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS"...BUT NOT MINE.
That's because we now have a President and an Administration very willing to Test a Federal Government that for the last two decades rode
roughshod over the needs of the people and over the nation itself. Just three examples of this are ]: 1) the Obama Health Insurance laws that accelerated the decline of the Health professions; 2) the destruction of American's national boundaries resulting in the destruction of our system of our system of Justice; 3) a massive National Debt that can produce a national recession within the next 6 months as well as a world-wide business reorganization at the cost of America.
And now this Trump Administration is applying a number of solutions that will be tested by the Supreme Court.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW.
THIS IS WHAT USED TO BE CALLED LEADERSHIP...
