RAPID RESPONSE (Archives)...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.

TODAY, MAY 29, 2023, IS MEMORIAL DAY. 

 
HAVING BEGUN DURING OR AFTER THE CIVIL WAR TO COMMEMORATE THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHO DIED SERVING THEIR COUNTRY - AND ORIGINALLY CALLED "DECORATION DAY" - 
 
today should also bring to mind another commemoration:
"THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE", 
BY EDWARD GIBBON.
 
For today we are also witnessing the possible - if not likely - 
decline and fall of the American nation and Idea.
 
If you think that this is fevered hyperbole - and if you have the courage 
to risk your physical health, 
Read two books published within the last year:
  For Context: 
America could have lost World War ll.
And America could well lose this war.  
 
WAKE UP !

ON THIS DAY DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO DIED FOR US,
I offer thanks and a prayer to two public servants who continue to live for us.
 
Jimmy Carter, the best former President this nation has ever had, has been unique in having been able to read his own eulogies, as he continues with us.
Enough Eulogies, Alreadiy !
 
Henry Kissinger, who turned 100 a few days ago, is not a "national treasure"
He is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE". 
Having served only 8 years in public office, he has spent and continues to spend several decades advising all nations of both "Real-Politik" and of the power of informed discussion among nations...both friend and foe. 
In that role, he has probably avoided WW lll - so far. 

I recommend three excellent articles on this subject, both appearing in the 
WSJ this weekend (May 27-28):
1) "THE GREAT STRATEGIST TURNS 100" (PA11);
2) "WHAT I LEARNED FROM HENRY KISSINGER" (C4);
3) "Henry Kissinger's Guide To Longevity", by David Kissinger (in The Day Tuesday, May 30, 2023, Opinion, pA4).

You're on a roll, gentlemen. Don't Stop Now.

FRIDAY and SATURDAY, May 26 and 27, 2023

HOW CAN AN INVOLVED AND ENGAGED CITIZEN KEEP UP? 
THIS IS HOW....
 
1) What is Law? What are Laws? What is Actionable under Law? 
Answers to those questions depend on the Actors controlling the 
levers of those powers: 
"the Reasonable Man" criterion;
the Supreme Court: the 800 lb.  gorilla who sits where it wants to sit?
the "Recht Ist Recht" rule of Nazi Germany: "whatever we say it is"?
That's where this nation is going - if we let it. 
SEE: "GOD, MOSES AND THE RULE OF LAW", by Joe Lieberman,
(WSJ May 25, 2023).
 
2) "Millions of Americans despise Donald Trump..." So begins an article by Holman .w Jenkins, Jr. (WSJ Mayi 27-28, 2023).
SEZ WHO? Just another member of the  "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME"  
Granted; Trump never learned the Art of Insult: telling a man to Go to Hell - and having him thank you as he leaves on his way. 
But Donald Trump was (and may yet again be) an effective and consequential President - especially if he runs against a stumbling Biden and his feckless VP. 
 
3) Check out The Epoch Times. You will find facts / information in its pages - generally presented separately from "Opinions" - that at least I don't find elsewhere.
 
4) "Gun Laws". Check out the new Michigan Law that gets some of it right - while the pending Connecticut legislation is all over the lot : much not helpful and probably illegal. (in ctmirror.org, May 27, 2023) .
"Democrat Governor Signs " Red Flag" Law"
 
5) It's a good thing that this country is structured as a Republic: an escape valve of States. See the article on Abortion Curbs in the various States (WSJ May 25, 2023, U.S. News). 
 
6) Re. National Integrity, Immigration and The Border. an impeachable abrogation of Presidential and Legislative responsibility. 
Now see a recently drafted "Dignity Act" (in The Day, May 24, 2024). 
Will it go anywhere? 
Republicans and Democrats: A POX ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES.
 
7) The Poor; The Irresponsible; The Criminal...and the proper involvement of  Government.
See articles on Welfare Reform and on Medicaid Work Mandates: 
by Jason Riley (WSJ May 24, 2023, Opinion); \
by William Galston (ibid). 
 
8) Finally: the decades - long blight of "Social Media" on our children. 
See the article by Jennifer Calvas (WSJ May 24, 2023).- perhaps too late for a generation of STUPIDS !
 
9) More on AI vs. Humans.  
The risk is two-fold: 1) the loss of many tens of thousands of jobs; and actual RISK to our humanity and status in the worlds. BEWARE. 
 
10) Sleep was considered a two-edged sword by Shakespeare. Deep sleep may actually be a defense against Alzheimer's Syndrome. 
See the article by Allysia Finley (WSJ May 22, 2023, Opinion). 
 
11) THe "Right" Health Care plan. My advice: Self-insure AS Much As You Can. It's a jungle out there...and it will actually interfere with your medical care. 
 
12) PARENTS VS. THE TEACHERS UNIONS and - sad to say - the cowed teachers themselves. TAKE BACK CHARGE. DEMAND CHOICES INCLUDING PUBLICLY FINANCED CHARTER SCHOOLS FROM THE FAILED PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  It will take one hell of a Fight.
 
13) THE DURHAM REPORT. 
See: the articles by Holman Jenkins (WSJ May 17, 2023) and also the article by Kimberly Strassel (WSJ May 19, 2023). 
As noted above regarding "Actionable Law", will this lead to actionable consequences?  Or did William Shakespeare predict this, too:
'Tis a tale as told by an idiot, full of sound and fury...signifying nothing?"

MONDAY through THURSDAY, May 22 through 25, 2023

SPEAKING PERSONALLY, THE MEDICAL PRACTICE OF PATIENT CARE IS AS STIMULATING AND PERSONALLY REWARDING AS EVER.
 
But the ABUSIVE and constantly increasing documentation requirements, the constantly increasing third party unqualified interference with that patient care, and the long-standing and increasing financial "adjustments" to allowed payments  - aka "theft of services", is leaving physicians with two options: retirement or non-medical career change; or pre-mature death from resentment and-or anger. 
Patients think (if they think at all) that they can weather this storm without trying to change this malignant system.
Think Again.

Trump BLASTS 'Crime Of The Century'

FRIDAY, May 19, 2023

WITH MORE AND MORE EVIDENCE EVERY DAY, 
IT IS CLEAR THAT HEALTH CARE DELIVERY IN THIS COUNTRY 
IS IN SERIOUS DECLINE IN BOTH QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY 
WHILE THE PROFIT MARGINS OF HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES
AND "BIG PHARMA" CONTINUE TO RISE.
 
Among the reasons for this state of affairs:
1: the take-over and buy-out of our government legislative and administrative agencies by the "Fifth Estate"...the Lobby Industry of those companies / industries.
2) the shameful failure of the "organized" Health Care Professions to act as effective patient advocates for decades since they decided to try to be "at the table" with the decision makers - instead being left "under the table". 
3) the default position of too many practitioners to secure their own interests if self-employed or to allow themselves to be bullied into submission by the "suits" whose critical interest is the bottom line. 
4) The stresses imposed by the COVID-19 Pandemic accelerated this process; it did not cause it.
 
WHO AND WHERE ARE THE PATIENT ADVOCATES? 
Nowhere to be found, except by those fortunate patients who have been able to find and maintain a relationship with an actual physician - advocate.

Read the full DURHAM REPORT here

The Real Implications of the Durham Report
 by John D. Guandolo
"Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation." (Durham Report, page 8)
 
The Durham Report confirms America's FBI, Department of Justice, and broader federal government is corrupted beyond immediate repair.
Facts in the report made public this week from the Office of the Special Counsel, John Durham, entitled "REPORT ON MATTERS RELATED TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS," confirm FBI senior leadership:
1.    Initiated an investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign based on raw and uncorroborated evidence from Australia;
2.    Knowingly used false information provided by a foreign agent - Christopher Steele - in an application for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court approval to electronically surveil the President of the United States, his family, and his staff;
3.    Knowingly used false information provided by a likely Russian intelligence officer or asset for Russian Intelligence - Igor Danchenko - in the same application for FISA Court approval to electronically surveil the President of the United States, his family, and his staff;
4.    Ignored their own FBI investigative information that Danchenko, a Russian national, "was the subject of an FBI counterespionage investigation from 2009 to 2011" while still paying Danchenko at least $220,000 (Durham Report, page 129);
5.    Intentionally lied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court to electronically surveil the President of the United States, his family and his staff;
6.    Specifically, James Comey, pushed for the FISA coverage on Trump advisor Carter Page despite the lack of requisite evidence required by law.
7.    Ignored evidence from the CIA, which was briefed to President Obama and FBI Director Comey, that Hillary Clinton personally approved a plan on July 26, 2016 to accuse Donald Trump of colluding with the Kremlin to win the Presidential election. The Durham Report stated: "The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBI' s investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation." (page 97);
"Our investigation determined that the Crossfire Hurricane investigators did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations contained in the Steele reporting. Nor was Steele able to produce corroboration for any of the reported allegations, even after being offered $1 million or more by the FBI for such corroboration."
(Durham Report, page 10)
In addition to her July 2016 plan to undermine the Trump campaign by publicly attacking him for being a stooge for the Russians even though she knew it was untrue, there is additional information Hillary Clinton's was directly involved, to include Democratic National Committee participation in this overall plan and Hillary Clinton's attorney's role in this plan.
When taken into context of (1) the recent U.S. House Oversight investigation of the Biden family criminal enterprise, (2) Trevor Loudon's report that at least 65 Members of the U.S. House are communists or sympathetic to communism, (3) the 51 leaders in the U.S. intelligence community who publicly lied about the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop being "Russian disinformation," (4) at least 23 former Members of the U.S. House and Senate working for a lobbying firm controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, and (5) the vast communist and jihadi Movements operating in the United States and being proactively aided and abetted by FBI leadership, the Durham Report confirms America's FBI, Department of Justice, and broader federal government is corrupted beyond immediate repair.
This means the solution to the problems is not business-as-usual policy-making, hearings, and federal elections. This war cannot be won using the same corrupt federal system which is driving America's Constitutional Republic off the proverbial cliff.
Radical Constitutional action must be taken to right this ship.
Here are a few recommended course of action:
1.    Citizens must return to an understanding of America's Founding Principles and their duties as citizen-soldiers, and hold local and state officials accountable in all manner of things.
2.    Citizens should focus their attention on their families, neighborhoods, and counties above all else until their counties are "fortified" - i.e. when hostile actors from the communist and jihadi Movements, as well as their collaborators and financiers, are flushed out and America's Founding Principles and a republican form of government is restored at the county level.
3.    Governors must get on a war footing to protect and defend their citizens using all authority under their state constitutions and the U.S. Constitution. This includes: (1) recognizing the federal government is failing to do its Constitutional duty to defend states/citizens against invasion and domestic violence and ensure a republican form of government under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, and make provisions to do so for the sake of the citizens, the continuity of the state government, and the security of the citizens; (2) identifying organizations and leaders of the communist and jihadi Movements, their collaborators and financiers, and taking all actions necessary to remove any and all opportunities for them to operate in the state; (3) considering a state currency backed by gold and silver as Texas is proposing here; and (4) restoring a historically factual curriculum in schools of America's history, the Founding Principles, and the intention of America's Founding Fathers.
In a staggering disconnection from reality, or an information operation intentionally meant to cover its continuing criminal behavior of targeting Christian patriots instead of real enemies of liberty, FBI Headquarters published a statement on 5/15/23 in response to the Durham Report which reads: "The conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time. Had those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented. This report reinforces the importance of ensuring the FBI continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect."
Calling this statement a flat out lie would be generous. The FBI "reforms" would not have prevented the "missteps" because the problem is not FBI policy, the problem is the anti-American communists in positions of authority inside the FBI.
Perhaps FBI leaders should actually read the Durham Report, especially the part where Mr. Durham stated in the conclusion: "Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report."
Secondly, the actions taken by the FBI Director, the FBI Deputy Director, the FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and others were not "missteps." Those actions were intentional and meant to deceive federal judges, violate federal law, and undermine the Constitution in furtherance of disrupting a Presidential election while aiding and abetting Hillary Clinton and acting in concert with known agents of foreign powers.
If the FBI was interested in doing its job, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and a number of other FBI employees and U.S. government officials would be in jail, and the leaders of the communist and jihadi Movements and those aiding and abetting them would be running for cover.
But that is not what is happening.
John Durham got it right in his report when he wrote:
"Ultimately, of course, meeting those responsibilities (in the FBI) comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to follow the guidelines and policies currently in place, guidelines that date from the time of Attorney General Levi and that are designed to ensure the rule of law is upheld. As such, the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old…The promulgation of additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI's guiding principles of "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity" are not engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI' s mission of "Protecting the American People and Upholding the Constitution of the United States.”

Durham Report Released... Special Counsel Blasts Deep State Witch Hunt

SUNDAY, May 14, 2023

NEWT GINGRICH:

I hope this message finds you well. I was wondering if you had a moment to go over my good friend Kevin McCarthy’s performance with me, now that he’s been in office for a few months.

I know firsthand that being Speaker of the House is one tough job, which is why I personally find Kevin’s accomplishments all the more impressive. He’s staying true to his word, working his way through his Commitment to America at a remarkable speed. That’s no small feat – Democrats love to drag their feet, and their control over the Senate and White House makes it incredibly difficult to make progress. Despite those hurdles, Kevin has found a way to:

    Fire Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell from key committees

    Establish a committee on China

    End the military vax mandate

    Pass the Parents Bill of Rights

    Repeal funding for 87,000 IRS agents

    Pass a bill to lower energy costs

    Terminate the COVID emergency

    End proxy voting

    Reopen the Capitol

    Veto DC’s soft on crime bill

    Launch investigations in the weaponization of the Federal Government

    Vote to save women's sports
    And check Biden's socialist spending spree

Coming into this Congress, we all already knew Kevin as an extremely capable leader – it’s now also safe to say that the gavel couldn’t be in better hands. I told him how proud I am of the job he’s doing, and encouraged him to keep his foot on the gas. I know your approval would mean a lot to him as well. I’m sending this message to his top supporters, and would sincerely appreciate it if you would add your name to show your support.

New Poll Shows What Americans Think About Sex and ‘Gender’

RR#2

AFTER BREAKING MY OWN RECORD AND TURNING OFF BRET BAIER'S 6 PM NEWS HOUR AFTER 10 MINUTES,
I realized that it was time again for me to "SFOGARE"...ie. to "VENT" - to protect my health - and yes, to protect your sanity also... the reader. 
 
1) The situation at our national border is nothing short of an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
 
2) The status of Law and Order in an increasing number of States, including the politicization of our Agencies of Justice, is beginning to approach Anarchy. Beware the rise of Citizen Self-Help. 
 
3) The crisis of homelessness and the increase in senseless shootings are just two manifestations of the failure of Mental Health treatment since Senator Ted Kennedy closed the treatment facilities in the late 1960's without providing alternatives. A Shame as well as a Risk for all of us. What are needed are Relationships, Responsibility and Resort to the Deity.
 
4) The Education Monopoly has been failing its young people at all levels for the last two generations. It is rapidly devolving from a Profession through a Craft to a Trade Union - while at the same time attacking the central role of parents and family. INSANE and IRRESPONSIBLE. 
 
5) National Security and Defense is beginning to unravel, not only through depletion of armaments (eg. The Navy) but more seriously through the dry rot developing in its personnel (eg. Woke, Critical Race Theory, Cancel Culture, fanciful and harmful - fanciful theories of "Sex"....). 
America is Not Immortal. It is actually in its third century of what has often been the demise of democracies in their fourth century. 
 
6) Our foundational Constitutional system of Government is being threatened by the declining quality and morality of its elected and appointed practitioners - and accentuated by the lack of Term Limits. This must end.
 
7) It took two hundred years, a Civil War and great personal tragedy for hundreds of millions of Blacks to achieve EQUALITY under the Law and also in the hearts and minds of most citizens. The Black Community - or at least some of its "leaders" is risking the loss of all this by a quest for "Equity" - an Impossibility. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, YES. EQUITY OF RESULT - NOT WITHOUT PERSONAL EFFORT AND ACHIEVEMENT. 
 
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

ONCE AGAIN,  "CHI MI LO FAR' FARE": WHO MAKES ME DO IT".
 
And again, it's mainly for myself - and also for the reader's benefit.
 
Today's ruminations rightly belong in this web-site's section entitled
"PHYSICIAN / PATIENT SPIRITUALITY", where you will find many others.
 
The topic today is EVIL, of which there is So Much around us. 
We could ask: WHY DOES GOD ALLOW THIS?
Or we could declare: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT. 
WRONG in both instances.
 
We could seek out perhaps more enlightened observers:
1) "Why Does God Allow Evil?", by E. Christian Brugger (in National Catholic Register May 7-20, p9). 
2) "Harold Kushner, Rabbi And Author, Dies At 88", by Emily Langer (in The Day Obituaries, May 6, 2023.).
Of these, I believe that the accurate answer comes from Rabbi Kushner, the author of "When Bad Things Happen To Good People". 
I also am convinced that God created Man with one great gift - FREE WILL , and that all human good and Evil result from the exercise of that Free Will.
 
It is not that God after the Creation became a passive observer. 
God has at least two measures of man's ultimate reward or punishment: 
Mercy / Forgiveness ; and "Vengeance Is Mine. I Will Repay". (Romans II).
 
Meanwhile, on our still-mortal level before we enter immortality, Forgiveness itself among ourselves is the medicine for many diseases afflicting us. 
See the excellent article entitled: "THe Secret Weapon for Mental Health: forgiveness", by Gregory Jantz ( in The Epoch Times April 26, 2023, pC1). 
 
So: Consider the above...and also limit your time following the News.
You will be a lot better for it.

"NO RETREAT...ADVANCE TO THE REAR". 
 
And so, since the 2024 Presidential Campaigns have begun with their floods of related news and mis-information, my offerings henceforth will exclude reference to supporting articles. Too much work. Too little time.
My main sources will continue to be the WSJ, The Day, The NYTimes, The Epoch Times, Prager University, Hillsdale College and Bret Baier.
 
And So...Here Goes:
 
1) A recent article in The Epoch Times: "The Secret Weapon For Mental Health: Forgiveness". 
 
2) A recent article in The WSJ on Toradol for opiate-level pain relief without addictiveness.
 
3) The "Trump Derangement Syndrome" continuing to afflict the WSJ. See the several related articles in the May 4, 2023 edition.
 
4) The GOP dilemma regarding the Abomination of Abortion, the practical positions of Trump and especially of Nikki Haley...and the AWOL position of the Catholic Church with regard to pro-abortion "catholics". 
 
5) "EQUITY OF RESULT" - IMPOSSIBLE...vs. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY - AN ACHIEVEABLE REQUIREMENT IN A DEMOCRACY. 
 
6) The Rape of the Education Profession by the Teachers Unions and by the WOKE Idiots.
 
7) The Rape of the new Military by the WOKE Idiots.   COURTMARTIAL.
 
8) The NYTimes Sunday Opinion Section: Are they trying to be honest, after years of interspersing their opinions with "facts" and "news"? And definitely see the book entitled:
 "The Gray Lady Winked. How The New York Times's Misreporting, Distortions and Fabrications Radically Alter History", by Ashley Rindsberg - about the 20th century of lies, omissions and distortions offered by the "Grey Lady".

 
9) About "Biden...His Brain And His Brain And Body..."  and the facts about Aging in general: a good recent article in the NYTimes National section.
 
10) THE DECLINE OF SCIENCE THROUGH POLITICS, sucking at the teat of funding. BEWARE THIS TREND AND ALSO THE DANGERS OF AI. (see the new web-site Category on AI). 
 
11) LAW AND ORDER: ACTIONS MUST HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
