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.

HERE'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE IN
A WHILE: "AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 (OR SO) LOCATIONS."
Why do it? Because WW lll can begin
- and quickly end - in any one of these locations, especially considering the
studied inattention currently given by America in an election year.
- The Australian subcontinent, part
of China's designs on the entire region and on the South China Sea as well as
on Taiwan. Don't tell anyone...but the anemic American Navy would lose a
conventional conflict in that region.
- India is a simmering pot, both
internally and with reference to its eternal disposition toward Pakistan.
- Pakistan has throughout this 21st
century proven itself to be an unreliable partner, especially regarding its
support for the Taliban.
- Iran: need I say more, especially
given the Stupid approach of this Administration to any efforts toward its
containment.
- Saudi Arabia and other oil
producing States: currently friendly, but certainly NO NATO. Always Islamic and
thus always potential enemies of Israel and of its supporters.
- Turkey. Very important,
strategic...and probably reliable. But Beware.
- Russia...or a re-born Soviet
Union if Putin has his way. Always a reliable adversary / enemy.
- NATO NATIONS. Reliable, so long
as we keep supporting them.
- Central and South America. At
risk of being lost to Democracy, sooner rather than later...given America's
inattention, internal turmoil and external pressures from China.
- Many African Nations, already
compromised by the efforts of Russia and China and by the inattention of
America.
- North Korea: crazy and
dangerous.
- Japan and South Korea. Always
reliable, strategic and effective - with our help.
- THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND!
WHAT TO DO?
a) Rebuild Our Military, along the
lines of post-December 7, 1941!
b) Re-elect Donald Trump President
of the United States. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Among increasing groups of citizens
who populate our Pandemic of Stupidity
and who never learned about God or
about America,
Memorial Day is just another
anachronism to be defiled or ignored.
But two recent articles clearly
describe our charge and our challenge as Americans.
1) "TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LOVE
AMERICA", by Peggy Noonan (in WSJ May 25- 26, 2024, Opinion, pA15).
2) "AMERICA HITS THE GLOBAL

HEREWITH, A READING LIST ON BEHALF
OF THE
RE-ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP AS
PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
Here I do not offer him as honorary
father or even as close friend...but as a highly effective chief executive of
the greatest human construct for self-government that the world has ever
seen.
The alternative: a gang of moral
pygmies whose goal - when they even realize it - is the destruction of this
nation and its surrender to world oligarchs.
The following is a Beginning List,
sure to be augmented, of
REQUIRED READINGS for any
intelligent and engaged citizen of whatever political stripe. All others, those
who simply Watch Things Happen or who are constantly saying "Wha'
Hoppen", need not pay attention. They also Need Not Vote , only to infect
the body politic with their ignorance.
For these offerings I am grateful to
a friend and fellow patriot.

Fellow Patriot,
America is on the brink of destruction.
I don’t say this to shock or scare you – I say it because it’s true.
What
we see today didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of a movement
that began with the Communist revolution in Russia and has been 100
years in the making…
…and Barack Obama hit the accelerator button, fast tracking their agenda.
I’d know better than most. When I was a young man, I was one of the leaders of the movement destroying America today.
50 years ago, I was a Marxist revolutionary bent on bringing America as we know it to an end.
I
stood side by side with Huey Newton and the leaders of the Black
Panthers. I edited Ramparts – radical Left's largest magazine. I
marched, wrote manifestos, and attacked America whenever and however I
could.
Then
the Panthers murdered my friend, and the Left helped the Communists win
the war in Vietnam. My eyes opened to the incredible destruction and
evil my “comrades” made possible. So I left and never looked back.
I
cast my 1984 ballot for Ronald Reagan – then I started the David
Horowitz Freedom Center to fight the Left and I’ve dedicated the last
40 years to exposing them.
Why?
Because
I knew first-hand the threat our country was facing. I knew what was at
stake and I knew if I didn’t tell the American people what I knew, we
would lose our country forever.
That’s
why I spent 6 months writing The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian
Movement Is Destroying America – and I want you to have your very own
copy of it.
So
I’m asking you to stand with me and make a generous, tax-deductible
donation of $35 or more to my Freedom Center. As a thank you, I’ll send
you a complimentary copy of The Enemy Within.
When
you think of “the enemy within” you may think of Joe Biden, Nancy
Pelosi or even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…and you wouldn’t be wrong.
But make no mistake: The real mastermind is Barack Obama.
Barack Obama laid the groundwork for everything we’ve seen since 2020 back in 2008.
Barack
Obama led the destruction of our cities, cozying up to Black Lives
Matter radicals and siding with criminals over police upholding the
rule of law.
Barack Obama championed the castration of our military, making us a laughingstock on the world stage.
And Barack Obama was the true architect behind the bogus Russian collusion witch hunt.
The
devastation and destruction we see today has been over a decade in the
making – but most of the American people have no clue what we’re up
against.
That’s
why I wrote The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement Is Destroying
America to explain how communist and fascist Leftists infiltrated and
overtook the Democrat Party...
...how it has become a party of racism and hatred attacking the very foundations of our country...
…
and how their ultimate goal is to create a one-party state – and
cancel, deplatform and silence every last one of their political
opponents by slandering them as “white supremacists” and worse.
The reviews speak for themselves…
“A Great Book” – Dinesh D’Souza
“The Enemy Within is a book for all patriots who understand that our country is in a fight for its life.” – Mark Levin
“David
Horowitz does it again in a must-read for any American concerned about
where we are headed as a nation.” Laura Ingraham
I wrote The Enemy Within because...
I
know if our country stands a chance, Americans must understand exactly
how sinister and dangerous the new Democrat Party actually is.
I was the enemy within — and I know in my bones what it will take to defeat them.
We’ve
reached the point in our history that will decide our future – and we
either win these political battles or lose everything that makes us
prosperous and free.
That’s
why I’ll send you a complimentary copy of The Enemy Within when you
donate $35 or more to the Freedom Center today and give us the
ammunition we need to expose the Left’s evil agenda to every American
patriot.
The Left is at war with America.
They
don’t simply disagree with us about how to make our country better –
they want to destroy it to make way for their Marxist dystopia.
Or in Obama’s own words “radically transform” America.
And they don’t care how much they have to lie, cheat or steal to achieve it.
So it’s up to patriots like you and me to expose the truth about the Left to our fellow Americans while we still can.
RR#3
AMEN.

AND STILL MORE: AN INCREASING NUMBER OF HOSPITALS ARE NOW
REQURING PAYMENT FOR NEEDED SURGERIES BEFORE THE OPERATION.
Does all of this lead
to ERRORS, INJURIES AND DEATHS? YOU BET IT DOES.
And as bad as all of
this is, there are also the rising number of Malpractice Suits and gigantic
awards.
What to do? I'm not
sure. But of one thing I am sure: THE FIRST RULE OF SERVICE IS SURVIVAL.
"PRIMUM NON NOCERE" REFERS TO THE DOCTOR ALSO.
Maybe that's the
treatment, for both doctor and patient. Maybe then the remaining parties to

Throughout my adult life, and
especially throughout the last 25 years of work on this web-site, I have
insisted on playing a personal role in the life of the world around me. My
Goal: to try to Make Things Happen; not to watch things happen; and certainly
not to say constantly " Wha Hoppen?"
It's getting harder and
harder.
The following is yet another
experiment toward that end: personal opinions supported by published articles
mainly in the WSJ, the NY Times,
the National Catholic Register, the
offerings of Prager University and of Hillsdale College. Here goes...
- Whatever
the causes of Climate Change, one set of results will be Diseases and
Pandemics.
- Israel
and Palestine: Back to the Future, from the Bible ad Infinitum.
- Is
America ready for War? No.
- The
Decline and Fall of our American System of Justice, Law and Order.
- The
Decline and Fall of our American System of Health Care.
- The
Decline and Fall of our American System of Education.
- The
Decline and Fall of our American System of Morality and Ethics.
- Whatever
the outcome of the November 2024 elections, the remainder of this decade
will be problematic at a minimum...and disastrous at worst.
See: "The End Of
Everything", by Victor Hansen Davis, (Basic), with a review by Robert
D. Kaplan: "A History of Vanished Histories" (in WSJ May 11, 12,
2024, Books, p C7).

From the Desk of Dr. Ben Carson:
Hello,
I don’t believe the majority of the public really knows what is being taught to our children and grandchildren.
They assume they are taught the same lessons we learned growing up—that
America is a land of freedom and opportunity where anyone has a chance
at success.
From what I’ve seen, this isn’t always the case. However, I want to know what you’ve seen.
Dr. Ben Carson, Founder and Chairman of American Cornerstone Institute
I believe that children as young as elementary age are being taught to reject our American values.
They are told that our Founding Fathers were massively flawed and that
it overshadows the nation they built. They hear that our Constitution
is “out of date” and needs to be “modernized.”
Progressives are rewriting our nation’s history and they are doing it
with our youngest and most vulnerable. We cannot let this happen!
This year I’m going to be meeting with political leaders and
educational “experts” across the country. I’m going to make sure people
know what is really happening in our schools.
I want to be able to share with them the thoughts of people who are
closest to the issue. Specifically, I would like to include your
thoughts.
The American Cornerstone Institute, a nonprofit I recently founded, has
created a unique survey. We’re trying to gauge the state of America’s
Educational System by surveying people like you.
I’d like to ask you to give me 2 minutes of your time so we can better
understand the problems that exist in our educational system. You can
access the survey here...
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards,
Dr. Ben Carson
Founder & Chairman American Cornerstone Institute

"ANALYZE THIS".
Why are large elements of the
"Scientific Community", that "Holy of Holies", being
accused of the vagaries and lies of "politics":
the experience with the
"Politico-Scientific" approach to the Covid-19 Pandemic;
the "WOKE" takeover of
heretofore respected Medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics and
the American College of Physicians;
the vital and necessary debate over
"Global Warming"?
Why? Because large elements of
today's potential and actual societal "leaders'" never learned the
lessons of Integrity...personal, scientific and otherwise.
See the attached video for some
telling evidence of this phenomenon.
And especially with regard to
"global warming", its causes and our reaction to it, the effects on
the health and even economic viability of Society are clearly at risk.

NATURE"...unless you KNOW what the hell
you're doing!

How would you like to move to
California - or to Illinois?
California and LA. are governed by a
gang of Democratic - Woke Stupids.
Illinois and Chicago are governed -
and have been governed for many decades including the 1960 Presidential election
of John Kennedy ( and maybe not) by experts in political corruption.

YES, WE YELL AND SCREAM - OR
ALTERNATIVELY GET HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE - ABOUT THE CURRENT CROP OF POLITICIANS,
LEFT AND RIGHT.
But what about the current crop of
the "represented", except for the really Senior Citizens? And
what about the real problems:
1) those who graduated high school
who shouldn't have graduated grammar school - thanks to the Democratic Party
and to their wholly owned subsidiary - the Teachers Unions?
2) those who somehow got into
colleges just as colleges were denigrating themselves into Woke wanna-be's?
3) those who lost themselves in
alcohol and illicit drugs, including Pot?
4) those who lost a chance - or
never had one - through lousy parents or wartime experiences?
5) those who are stuck allegedly
reliving the terrible lives of their long-gone slave relatives...and demanding
"Reparations" now?
6) those who have been educated in
deciding that "Crime Does Pay"?
7) the increasing number of truly
Mentally Ill, whose treatment and housing were eliminated by the mis-guided
efforts and absent follow-through of Senator Kennedy in the late 1960's?
The result: our current toxic
society, including a large component of persons totally dependent on
hand-outs.
President F.D.R. knew about this in
the 1930's:
"CONTINUED DEPENDENCE UPON
RELIEF INDUCES A SPIRITUAL AND MORAL DISINTEGRATION FUNDAMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE
TO THE NATIONAL FIBER. TO DOLE OUT RELIEF IN THIS WAY IS TO ADMINSITER A
NARCOTIC, A SUBTLE DESTROYER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT." 1935.
