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.

IN CELEBRATION OF MY 25TH YEAR
OFFERING THIS WEB-SITE,
today's offering will be "Free
Association" of personal ideas and positions formed through experience and
broad readings, in no particular sequence.
1) The worst action of
the Biden - Woke administration to date has been the Border, the disruption of
the Rule of Law, and the total division of this nation.
2) Can this get worse? Clearly Yes,
throughout this election year - and it Biden gets "re-elected".
3) Meanwhile, "U.S. Changes
Race, Ethnicity Categories". So now, instead of "E Pluribus
Unum" we will have "E Pluribus Mas". Good luck with
that.
4) The Catholic Church is also
having its foundational problems, ever since the "opening window"
under Vatican ll was blocked during the subsequent four decades, only to be
again opened by Pope Francis. He is not a revolutionary. But he insists on
Dialogue. Good for him.
5) The three dilemmas of human
procreation - abortion, contraception and in vitro fertilization - have been
joined by "transgender issues".
Just what we needed.
TO BE CONTINUED: YES, I'M STILL
AROUND.

TIME FOR ANOTHER POT POURRI OF NEWS
AND INFORMATION, ALTHOUGH SOME MAY NOT BE SO FRAGRANT.
1) See: Why Are Women Both Sadder
And Happier Than Men?, by Emily Bobrow (in WSJ Review March 23-24, 2024,
pC1).
Or, as one reviewer put it: "I
mean, what the hell is going on?" This is an interesting and
thoughtful article which supports my own long-held opinion that women
are the stronger, more grounded sex. But, without going into details:
"VIVE LA DIFFERENCE".
2) See: "An Easy Solution To Reining In Social
Media", by Navaroli and Pao (in LATimes). This should be high on
the To Do list of our regulation - happy government - something that Really
Needs Doing.
3) See: "Could A Brokered
Convention Replace President Biden?", by Edward Achorn (in WSJ Review,
March 23-24, 2024, pC4)
That's how Abraham Lincoln
became President in 1860. Anything that removes Biden sounds Good to me.
4) And now for a Moment of
Silence. See: "An All-American Tragedy", by Will Leitch
- a review of the book by Keith O'Brien entitled "Charlie Hustle" -
Pete Rose (in WSJ Books, March 23-24, 2024, pC7). This Ikon, now in
his eighties, has lived out his "life sentence". He should be
Pardoned.

A
few years ago, members of the world’s elite met at the annual World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and launched the Great Reset
initiative.
What is their plan, and what does it mean for America?
In short, they aim to transform the world economy. As Klaus Schwab—the
founder and executive director of the Forum—wrote, “We need a ‘Great
Reset’ of capitalism.” If successful, their plan would also have the
effect of destroying our American way of life.
This initiative is not merely about economic reform. It is an attempt to impose global rule by so-called experts.
Some social media companies are censoring our efforts to promote a
seminar we hosted on the Hillsdale campus that explored the topic of
the Great Reset. Fortunately, we are able to communicate directly with
you.
In this seminar, we consider the idea of the Great Reset and its
implications for America. But that’s not all. We also delve into
pro-freedom alternatives to this tyrannical plan.
Sign up now using the secure link below, and we’ll send the Great Reset seminar lectures—absolutely free—directly to your inbox.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn lessons that are essential to the defense of American liberty.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE,
for this is the vile
irresponsibility that the WOKE LEFT has arrived at - and which is
infecting other heretofore respectable segments of our "civil
society".
See the information already posted
on my "Health Alerts" section regarding the craven race being run by
surgeons at Childrens Hospitals to perform deforming "sex transitioning
surgery" on confused children.
See the article in the WSJ entitled:
"Ban DEI Quackery In Medical Schools", (Opinion, March
19, 2024, pA15).
See: "Gender Ideology
Invades The Foster Care System", ( WSJ March - 23 - 24, 2024, Opinion,
pA13).
And many more examples involving our
foundational institutions.
As the man said many years ago: "Have
you no sense of decency, Sir?"
WELL, IN THAT CASE: THROW THE BUMS OUT!

GOD BLESS POPE FRANCIS, THE VICAR OF
CHRIST ON EARTH, FOR RE-OPENING A WINDOW, AN "AGIORNAMENTO"
BEGUN BY POPE JOHN XXlll.
The Catholic Church, and especially
its Laity (the Body of the Church) sorely need a change from the sour
unwillingness of some of its Clergy to Think and to Pray for discernment on the
Will of a merciful God.
And we will shortly be able to read
directly from this Holy Father his thoughts and inclinations in his own
autobiography. Thank You.

As some of my readers know, I spent
100 hour work weeks for 3 1/2 years (while continuing my medical practice and
family life) earning a JD degree and joining the Connecticut Bar. That
experience and the subsequent decades expanded my great respect for THE LAW...
until recent years.
Since then, my respect has
substantially diminished as THE LAW has been bastardized in the hands of
political hacks .
See: The Price Of Anti-Trump
Lawfare, by Daniel Henninger (in WSJ March 14, 2024, Opinion
pA13).
BEWARE! A healthy respect for THE
LAW is the only cement binding a civil society together.

NUCLEAR WAR.
IT BEGAN WITH ALBERT EINSTEIN'S
DISCOVERY OF "E=MC^2."
It's implementation for weaponry was
begun by Hitler's scientists in the late 1930's.
That work was joined by Great
Britain and Russia and U.S. in the early 1940's.
That race was won by U.S. in July,
1945 - and was first used on August 6, 1945.
AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
SINCE THEN.
See the excellent NetFlix
Documentary on the subject: "Turning Point".
How the world and its inhabitants
have not been vaporized already is a marvel in itself.
How long will our dumb luck last?
See the extended article on Nuclear
War that was recently published in the NYTimes:
"AT THE BRINK", Sunday
Opinion, March 10.
If the world leaders were to adhere
to the JUST WAR DOCTRINE of the Catholic Church - Nuclear War would NEVER be
justified or used.
Meanwhile, besides prayer, I hope
never to learn of its use except by reading about it in the Heavenly Times.

HERE YOU HAVE THE
DIAGNOSTIC STUDY OF A SERIOUS INFECTION ABOUT TO BECOME A SEPSIS ON THE
AMERICAN BODY POLITIC.
GS
I
invite you to view an eight-lecture course that we prepared. It is
called "American Citizenship and Its Decline," and the online course is
based on Victor Davis Hanson's book, The Dying Citizen.
Like
the book, the course describes the current crises in America as
symptoms of a far larger problem: the steady decline of the autonomy
and political influence of the citizen.
The
class describes the origins and history of citizenship in the West,
reminding us that it is a rare phenomenon both in the past and the
present—given the enormous responsibility placed on citizens to create
and control their own government.
Citizenship
then requires a large and self-reliant middle class—currently shrinking
under enormous economic strains. Clearly defined and enforced borders
are also essential to ensure a civic space in which citizens can
nurture common customs, sustain traditions, and honor their own shared
past.
Yet
borders are now increasingly fluid as mere residence and citizenship
seem often indistinguishable. Pre-civilizational tribalism—identifying
by superficial appearance rather than through shared culture and
values—is returning to America as so often the salad bowl replaces the
melting pot.
These
organic, bottom-up challenges are often matched by top-down stresses
such as the growth of a huge, permanent, but unelected, government of
bureaucrats and administrators who combine judicial, executive, and
legislative powers that overwhelm the citizen.
In
addition, revisionists in law, the media, and politics seek to change
the Constitution, long-held customs of governance, and political
traditions for short-term partisan agendas, on the theory that a new,
changing, and fluid Constitution must match an always evolving human
nature.
Globalism
is an ancient challenge to the sovereignty of the nation-state. But in
the age of instant communications and unprecedented concentrations of
globalized wealth, so often elites seek to supplant American laws and
independence with international organizations and often without the
consent of the legislative branch or the assent of the governed.
The
course ends, however, on an optimistic note that citizens still have it
within their power to restore our traditions of empowered citizenship
and return government to the control of citizens.

Annual Fund. You can easily give and reserve your DVD box set using

BETWEEN "SUPER
TUESDAY" AND THE "STATE OF THE UNION" MESSAGE,
YOU WOULD THINK THAT'S
ALL WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT!
THE FOLLOWING IS MY
LIST OF THE 2024 "DIRTY DOZEN"...BEFORE ELECTION DAY....
1) A massive cyber
attack has interrupted the payments of Every provider in the country. Yes,
me too. And of course...soon you too.
2) "DEMOGRAPHY
IS DESTINY". We are experiencing this in the decade-long delay
in maturation of today's 20 year olds, now part of the usual teenage
PANDEMIC OF
STUPIDITY. As we anticipated, they are awakening in their 30's, but in
two special ways: a) see the article in the NYTimes March 3, 2024 - Sunday
Business; and b) deferring or avoiding marriage and childbearing (see "The
Nuclear Option", WSJ March 9-10, 2024, Books).
3) Global Warming, YES;
Causes and Prudent Responses...and harmful results. See the article in Epoch
Times February 21-27, 2024, pA5. See also
"Climate
Bill" article in The Day March 5, 2024.
4) "Big
Tech" run amok, disrupting the lives and education of our children
(with no effective action from their parents) - and now foisting uncontrolled
AI on us.
5) The Decline and
Fall of Amendment 1 of our U.S. Constitution. See "From Censorship To
Criminalizing Dissent", by Jeffrey A. Tucker, (in The Epoch Times
February 21-27, 2024,
Opinion).
6) Dangerous
Driving...Dangerous Cars. See: "The Road to Ruin" (NYTimes
Magazine, January 14, 2024).
7) The Dangerous
Use of Illicit Drugs, including Marijuana. See the Category in my web-site
entitled "Health Alerts". We are returning to the opium dens of the
early 1900's.
8} Our AWOL
Critical Federal Bureaucracies: DOJ; FBI; CIA....
9) "The Great
RESET": The U.N.s goal to take over the world. See the work of
Hillsdale College on this dangerous effort.
10) "Racism".
You want to bring it back? Keep talking about it.
11) Human
Sexuality. Not that complicated...unless you want to make a career out of
it,,,as many politicians and even Pediatric Hospitals are Shamefully doing.
12) And the most
vexing of the Dirty Dozen: ABORTION.. What can we mortals do when two of
the three Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Islam) equivocate on the crystal-clear
position of God in the Holy Bible regarding the complete living Humanity of the
human fetus from the moment of human sperm fertilization of the human
ovum.
My guess: after more
years "...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing", this
problem will have to be solved as was the Gordian Knot.

OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM TRUMP:
Friend, JOE BIDEN SHOULD DROP OUT RIGHT NOW.
The
Republican Party has completely united behind me, and soon the entire
United States will elect me the 47th President of the United States, so
we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
But what Joe Biden has done to our once great nation is DISGUSTING:
#1 OPEN BORDERS
#2 MIGRANT CRIME
#3 RECORD LEVEL INFLATION
#4 ELECTION INTERFERENCE
#5 CENSORSHIP AND INDOCTRINATION
#6 DEEP STATE CORRUPTION
#7 DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
I’m asking every single TRUE MAGA REPUBLICAN to make a strong statement: I’m voting for Trump!
This is how we will SAVE AMERICA from the hands of Crooked Joe and the Radical Left together…
We will rebuild the greatest economy in AMERICAN HISTORY!
We will ensure Fair Trade for the American Worker!
We will unleash America to achieve ENERGY DOMINANCE!
We will Close the Border, Build the Wall, and Restore American Sovereignty!
We will launch the War on Drug Cartels to Restore Safety and Stop Crime in America!
We will embrace Patriotism and Reject Globalism!
We will care for Veterans and protect Parents’ Rights!
We will End Censorship, Reclaim Free Speech, and Defend the First Amendment!
We will restore Free, Honest, and Fair elections and STOP ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
We will FIRE JOE BIDEN!
And finally, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
I can’t do this alone, and you’ve been by my side through every single IMPEACHMENT, INDICTMENT, RAID, AND ARREST!
This is the most critical election in American History, and I need you and every TRUE MAGA PATRIOT if I’m going to win…
Thank you,
Donald J. Trump
45th President of the United States

AS I HAVE BEEN SAYING...
The present "system" is not only grossly UNFAIR to those
physicians acting as gatekeepers...but it is also STUPID, as it
facilitates the breakdown of that "system".
And it is not only primary care physicians and diagnosticians who are
living this. but more and more patients who are finding it impossible
or grossly delayed to get needed care.

NOT THAT WE NEED ANY
MORE EVIDENCE OF MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN...
but see the article in
the March 3, 2024 edition of the NYTimes by Bodyagina and Kurmanaev
entitled "Rancid
Food, Barbaric Cold, Broken Psyches" - describing the conditions
suffered by
Aleksei Navalny and so
many millions of others in Russia's Penal Colonies.
Such Facts arouse our
worst impulses toward humans like V. Putin...but to no avail.
It is only our health
and equanimity that suffer from such reactions.
We need but remember
that it is God who gave us Free Will and God who promises to hold us to
the exercise of that
Free Will. ("VENGEANCE IS MINE. I SHALL REPAY". sayeth the
Lord". (Romans ll).
And meanwhile, it was
The Lord Himself who was well aware of the capabilities of the humans around
Him:
"But Jesus would
not trust Himself to them because he knew them all, and did not need anyone to
testify
about human nature. He
Himself understood it well." (John 2:13-25).
And we certainly don't
want to know anything about who ends up in Hell.

TODAY, I MAKE AN OPPORTUNITY,
LONG MISSED, TO EXPRESS MORE RECENTLY FOUND APPRECIATION FOR FORMER PRESIDENT
JIMMY CARTER.
Having lived and struggled through
the Carter Presidency of the later 1970's, including trying to afford educating
five bright children by taking out a home equity loan at 17%, I was
recently forced to take another look at this remarkable man who is making a
mockery of the Hospice referral by happily living on and on despite that referral!
SO THERE!
And now I find an Excellent
biography by Johathan Alter,. published in 2020 and extending nearly 800 pages.
I will not foist on you a
recommendation to read this in its entirety...something that I will not do
myself.
But definitely Read At Least The
Preface, itself worth the price of admission to this unique Life.
JIMMY CARTER, THANK YOU FOR BEING
YOU !
