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.

AS A SPECIALIST IN ALLERGY AND CHEST
DISEASES PRACTISING COORDINATIONOF CARE FOR MY PATIENTS AS AN INTERNIST,
I serve in a system of Theft of
Services and of interference from insurance people practising Medicine without
a licence.
It is a system that benefits my
patients but no one else except the insurance companies and the permanent
Federal Bureaucracy.
This is NOT STUPIDITY. It is
Designed and Perpetuated that way.
And it is getting worse for patients
daily. Health Care Providers have been made poweriess to help.
THAT LEAVES YOU, THE PATIENT.

OUR AMERICAN SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IS
BEING RAPED BY THE MONEY OF GEORGE SOROS AND HIS "PROGRESSIVE
PROSECUTOR" MOVEMENT.
Commenting on the current
"trial" of Donald Trump in New York City, Law Professor Jonathan
Turley called the case "a legal absurdity".
See: "Rogue Prosecutors And
The Rise Of Crime", by Cully Stimson (in Imprimis, March 2024,
Hillsdale College).
It is not only the personal and
political future of President Trump that is thus at stake currently
before the U.S. Supreme Court. It is the viability of our Presidency
itself.
This is not hyperbole. Just Think
about it.

ANOTHER WAY UNIONIZED
PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE DISRUPTING AMERICAN EDUCATION.
What a SHAME.
GS
“We’re closing our doors… for good.”
Friend, did you know that nearly 100 Catholic schools across America are forced to say those dreaded words every year?
We believe every family deserves the freedom to choose where and how
their children are educated –– and that’s why we’re working to keep
Catholic schools open.
Right now, 1.6 million American children are enrolled in Catholic
schools, but the school system they love is under threat of extinction
–– especially in states that don’t allow taxpayers to direct education
tax dollars to private schools.
For many families, their local Catholic school is the only available
alternative to the public school system. And if their school closes,
their access to school choice can disappear overnight.
This is the withering of educational options in our most at-risk neighborhoods.
Because these schools aren't just for Catholics.
There's a beautiful phrase you will hear from Catholic educators: "We
don't teach these kids because they're Catholic. We teach because we're
Catholic."
Catholic schools don't just open where there is existing parent wealth.
As a charitable work, they serve many communities where quality
education is lacking.
Friend, this is why we fight for school choice –– and supporters like you are making a powerful impact every day.
The American Federation for Children Growth Fund knows that education
needs vary for every individual student. We work to give every child
the opportunity to have his or her education needs met.
Whether that's a Catholic school or another type of private school,
these diverse options can only survive if families have the freedom to
choose.
Join us today in fighting for this vital American institution by
signing our petition asking lawmakers to let parents choose Catholic
schools.
Thank you,
Rebekah Bydlak

ALRIGHT, ONCE AGAIN - WITH FEELING:
"Apologia Pro Vita
Sua"...aka "Who Makes Me Do This?"
Answer: Check out the comments
quoted in the "Philosophy Of LIFE" on the introductory page of this
web-site.
I have always tried to be a person
who "makes things happen".
And I am not going to stop as we
Americans approach the MOST CONSEQUENTIAL NATIONAL ELECTIONS in the
last 100 years.
Think about that. Then ACT.
Time for another Pot Pourri of
symptoms and signs of our national illness.
1) The NYTimes has indicted itself
with its "Only the News We Want You To Know" approach to
"journalism".
See: "The Grey Lady
Winked", by Ashley Rindsberg (Midnight Oil Publishers, 2021).
See: "Newsroom Rebellion At
Times", (in WSJ April 13-14, 2024).
See the article by Holman W.
Jenkins, Jr. (WSJ April 27-28, 2024).
What to do? Check out: Imprimis /
Hillsdale College; Prager University; National Catholic Register; the WSJ,
except when they demonstrate "Trump Derangement Syndrome".
2) Human Reproductive
Issues...Abortion, IVF, ER care (or not...) of pregnant women remain and will
remain as ulcers in our body politic. Their resolution rests, not in politics,
but in morality and ethics. Good Luck with that these day.
3) Politics where it should Not be:
the Federal Bureaucracy - unelected and immortal; the Departments of Justice
and Defense; the C.I.A; our System of Justice and our Courts.
See: "Rogue Prosecutors And The
Rise Of Crime", by Cully Stimson (in Imprimis March, 2024 - Hillsdale
College).
4) A History of the last Century
through a study of its young people...both parents and children.
1930's - 1950's: good and effective
people who saved the world from tyranny and death and who rebuilt a powerful
and moral nation.
1960's - 1990's: still committed
when not self-indulging - and less effective.
2000's...the breakdown of basic
education - thanks to an unholy alliance of the Democratic Party and the
Teachers' Unions. This has produced a Pandemic of Stupidity in our
colleges and universities-involving students, professors and apparently also
parents.
5) The only bright spot...and only
if we choose to throw the Biden / Woke gang out in November...is the fact that
the parents of the present two generations are choosing NOT TO RETIRE. We
certainly would Not want to be led by many of their children.
As for me, I would like to witness
another 10 years of this life.
But that would be Enough.

THIS IS NOT ONLY A CATHOLIC ISSUE.
IT IS A TREATMENT FOR THE PANDEMIC OF STUPIDITY AND INSANITY WASHING OVER OUR
COUNTRY.
If you are not part of the SOLUTION,
you are part of the PROBLEM!
GS
“This is the most important election of our lifetime!”
Chances are you’ve heard this rallying cry from both sides of the aisle about many previous elections, including this one.
We are repeatedly told that every election is existential: “If we lose,
it will be the end of the United States of America as we know it.”
In 2024, however, we are indeed standing upon a precipice.
Just since the last election:
- our southern border has essentially collapsed
- some of our proudest cities have been overrun by crime, poverty, illicit drugs and a record number of illegal aliens
- suicide rates are at an all-time high
- inflation has soared
- children are being castrated and sterilized in the name of “gender-affirming care”
Not in living memory has there been such a decline of our nation in just the few short years between one election and the next.
We cannot go on like this much longer.
That is why CatholicVote decided to publish For God, Country, & Sanity: How Catholics Can Save America.
This book is a must-read for every Catholic American in 2024.
Coming in May 2024, it contains chapters from 13 faithful, Catholic
Americans who analyze different aspects of the cultural, political, and
religious landscapes of our rapidly declining country and offer
insights on how Catholics can respond.
As the book demonstrates, the situation is dire, but not hopeless.
Why?
Because we are Catholics and we will approach this election as Catholics.
We, in the fullness of our faith, have something to bring to the table.
In For God, Country, & Sanity: How Catholics Can Save America, you
will find exactly what you need to prepare you to take your place in
the battle for America.
We are hoping to get this book into the hands of ONE MILLION Catholics
- because one million informed, battle-ready Catholics who put what
they read into action can turn the tides of this election.

Did he really just mock the Sign of the Cross?!?
Joe Biden is either stupid, senile, or has decided to go “all in” on his new abortion religion.
Or maybe all of the above!
Biden made the Sign of the Cross as a fellow Democrat was attacking Florida’s pro-life laws — at an abortion rally!
We aren’t stupid. We know when we are being mocked.
Biden disgraced every Christian believer in America… including his own purported Catholic faith.
Joe Biden is now fully committed to the new left-wing dogma of abortion on demand, for any reason.
Joe Biden’s abuse of
our faith cannot go unanswered. That’s why we are prepping a massive ad
campaign to make sure every Catholic in America understands what just
happened.
Especially those
Catholics that live in states that will decide the outcome of the
election this November, including: Florida, North Carolina, Georgia,
Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The Sign of the Cross for abortion?
Every Catholic deserves to know the truth.
P.S. These attacks
on our Faith are not slowing down. The pressure is only going to build
as we race toward Election Day. Which is why the best way to help us
fight back is to become a CatholicVote Champion. It’s super simple!

ALL "TRUE, TRUE AND
RELATED".
GS
This is Vivek Ramaswamy. I hoped to
email you on a lighter note but I didn’t have another choice with
everything happening right now.
The unholy alliance between Joe Biden, the corrupt Deep State, the DC
Swamp, the Liberal Media, and the Radical Left Democrats is a national
disgrace.
We, the American People, will never forget what they’ve done to us. Luckily, we have a plan to stop these radicals who:
– Desecrated Easter Sunday with wokeism
– Arrested the leader of the Republican Party
– Removed Trump from the ballot in key states
– Raided Mar-a-Lago with armed agents
– Censored Conservative voices
– Spied on Catholic worshippers
– Gutted election integrity measures
– Peddled the Russia Hoax for years
– Threw open our border to illegals
– Abandoned Americans in Afghanistan
– Caved to the Chinese Communist Party
– Moved to pack the Supreme Court
– Forced propaganda into classrooms
And the list goes on and on and on! Never before in the history of the
world has a truly great country fallen so far from grace in such a
short time. If the Radical Left Democrats somehow win control of the
White House, the Senate, and the House… America will be lost forever.
I know this to be true. You know it too. But when everything is on the
line, moments like this separate the strong from the weak. And make no
mistake – the future of our country hangs in the balance.
That’s why I’m partnering with Majority Leader Steve Scalise for the
FIRST TIME. Together, we’re rallying the STRONGEST American Patriots
from across the country and building the biggest surge of grassroots
support this country has ever seen.
If you consider yourself a strong American Patriot – like the two of us
do – I’m personally asking for your full commitment right here and
right now.
The resources we collect today will help build the largest GOP voter
turnout operation in history, deploy an army of volunteers in swing
districts, run hard-hitting ads in battleground states, harvest ballots
where it’s legal, and help make this the most secure election EVER.
THAT is how Conservatives will win in a landslide…
THAT is how we take control of the White House, Senate, AND House…
THAT is how we stop the Radical Left Democrats from destroying America…
THAT is how we save our country as we know it…
AND THAT is how we send shockwaves through the heart of the Deep State, DC Swamp, and Liberal Media…
I’m asking for 100% participation from every strong American Patriot
reading this. If that’s you, we need your help for the sake of the
country. It’s the only way we win. So what do you say? Can we count on
you?
If you can’t afford to pitch in $100 or $50 right now, I understand
completely. If you can spare JUST $5 or $10, it will still go a long
way in the fight for what we believe in. I only ask that everyone
contributes SOMETHING.
No matter what, I’m honored to fight alongside you.
Thanks for all you do,
Vivek Ramaswamy

NOW HEAR THIS!
"ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE", AI, is not coming. IT IS HERE AND NOW...and has been
around us for the last two decades or more.
But it is not the AI for
which information I recently added a Category to this web-site.
It is the AI demonstrated by
the students and graduates of "elite" universities who should not
have graduated high school...or even grammar school,
thanks to the misfeasance of
teachers and their Teachers Unions and to the malfeasance of the Democratic
politicians who enabled this.
The result: the Pandemic of
Stupidity all around us and the loss of a real Chance at Equality by two
generations of Blacks who sadly provided the political support for this
travesty.
I have been writing about this for
decades. Check out my Category entitled "Public Educaton Politics"
and also many Rapid Response offerings throughout the last 25 years.
This was based upon also our family experience educating five children and on
my personal experience as a two-term member of the New London Board of
Education (1967-1971) and as President of the Board during my final year
there.
So: I have known this for a long
time. But what I did not know was the depth and scope of the result and the
current effect on our American Society.
Now See: "DISPARATE IMPACT
THINKING IS DESTROYING OUR CIVILIZATION", by Heather Mac Donald (in
IMPRIMIS - Hillsdale College, February 2024). This is a MUST READ, replete with
damning facts and statistics...now including students in Medical School and Law
School and other "institutions of higher learning".
The victims here: our Black
brethren, other students whose efforts are diluted by the general
bastardization of Learning, and American Society itself.
With very little time left, our
nation has entered a period of Decline and Fall, well known in the history of
other democracies of the Past.

Frank Pavone Responds to Trump Statement on Abortion
Please read and share my press release below from today about the
recent statement from President Donald Trump on how he would pursue
abortion policy if re-elected.
I have made a brief video statement about his remarks that you can watch here.
Today, The Gateway Pundit also published an opinion piece by me on this
topic: "Frank Pavone: President Trump’s Statement on Abortion Policy
Paves the Way for a Culture of Life in a Divided Nation." Please read,
share, and comment on it!
You can also find my press release below on our website.
FOR
IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone Responds to Trump Statement on Abortion:
Abolishing abortion begins by getting Democrats out of office
TITUSVILLE, FL - Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone today
thanked President Donald Trump for his statement on abortion released
on his Truth Social account.
“As I said in my remarks recently at Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump has
been, and will be again, the most pro-life president our country has
seen. He has not wavered on any of the pro-life positions or executive
actions he has taken (including depriving the abortion industry of
federal funds), or judges he has appointed, and we will again see such
progress in a second term.
“President Trump is rightly proud of his role in the reversal of Roe v.
Wade. Roe blocked the American people from protecting the unborn. Now,
we can protect them again, and are doing so.
“By invoking ‘the will of the people,’ President Trump is pointing to
the fact that courts are not here to impose a dogma of
abortion-on-demand. Rather, the courts should step out of the way so
that the people can have an open and honest debate about abortion.
That’s what we will continue to do.
“President Trump’s announcement of the abortion policy he would pursue
as president calls to mind the drafting of the U.S. Constitution at a
time when slavery was still legal,” Pavone said. “The Founders
understood that they could not get the Constitution ratified if it
contained an absolute anti-slavery position. They needed to get the
nation started.
“But with the Constitution they did adopt, they put in place the very
mechanism by which slavery was in fact ultimately abolished.
“President Trump is taking a similar stance. We have to save the nation
by winning this election. Right now we have a nation divided on
abortion. But by saving the nation itself from destruction by the
Democrats – by saving the Constitution, free and fair elections,
freedom of speech and religion, and by stopping the extremism of the
Democrats on abortion -- we will in fact preserve the very mechanism by
which we can continue to build a culture of life.
“I thank the President for his statement but I don’t expect him to do
my job; I expect him to do his. My job and the job of the pro-life
movement is to lay out the moral absolute of the right to life, which
does not admit of compromise. Pro-life leaders, meeting recently for
strategic planning, issued this joint statement that reflects the
pro-life work that needs to be done in the next seven months.
“We look forward to continuing to work together with President Trump
and countless citizens to leading our nation to ever greater fidelity
to its founding principle that governments are instituted precisely to
preserve the unalienable right to life.”
Blessings,
Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life

As
someone who proudly follows Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior, I
know what you can achieve when you put your faith into something. And
right now, I am praying for America.
It’s Mike Pompeo - Former CIA Director & Donald J. Trump’s Secretary of State.
Joe
Biden & his band of socialist crazies have turned our great nation
upside down. They’ve uprooted anything we accomplished - like securing
our southern border. They’ve pitted Americans against one another - as
Biden did during his State of the Union Address.
To be frank, the Democrats have failed this great nation.
That
is why I am reaching out to you today on behalf of Republican House
Leadership. Friend, they need your help to make Biden a ONE-TERM
PRESIDENT.
In
order to save America from the Left’s socialist agenda, Republicans
must hold onto our Conservative House Majority and take back the Senate
and White House... but currently, we're trailing behind Joe Biden and
his Liberal mob in the fundraising race.
I’m
not one who can be frightened easily as I’ve met with some dangerous
leaders around the globe AND been briefed on incredibly serious
national security risks but this really troubles me…
Fundraising
is the only way Republicans can invest in the key voter turnout
programs that help tip the scales in key battleground states. Your help
is essential for that reason. If we can rally enough support from folks
like you, Joe Biden’s path to re-election would COMPLETELY COLLAPSE and
America would be SAVED.
So
before the sun goes down, I’m respectfully calling on 1,000,000
freedom-loving Conservatives to pitch in a few dollars to help close
the fundraising gap and save America, the GOP AND our Conservative
agenda from the Left:
Friend, no matter what, I hope you join me in praying for our country.
Thank you. God bless.
