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:
- "FINAL
BATTLE", BY DAVID HOROWITZ, ( HUMANIX BOOKS, 2022);
- "CRIMES
AGAINST AMERICA", BY JUDGE JEANNINE PIRRO, (WINNING TEAM
PUBLISHING, 2023).
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,

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?"
GS
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.

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.” MONDAY, May 15, 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.

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.

1) A recent article in The Epoch

2) A recent article in The WSJ on
Toradol for opiate-level pain relief without addictiveness.
3) The "Trump Derangement

4) The GOP dilemma regarding the
Abomination of Abortion, the practical positions of Trump and especially of

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!
