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.

GS

In the words of the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
 
Throughout most of our nation’s history, Americans learned about and revered these ideas. 
 
Sadly, because of the Left’s hijacking of history education in so many of our schools, this is no longer true. 
 
Consider the 2019 controversy surrounding the Betsy Ross flag I mentioned above.
 
When, shortly before Independence Day, Nike announced its plans to release an athletic shoe featuring the Betsy Ross flag, Nike spokesman Colin Kaepernick objected, condemning the flag as a symbol of racism and slavery. A social media storm followed.
 
Consequently, Nike announced that it was halting production of the shoe.
 
This controversy was trivial. But the episode points to something else…
 
What is NOT trivial is the attempt to spread anti-American ideology into every area of American life…
 
....and the fact that too many in positions of authority immediately retreat when confronted by political correctness and anti-Americanism.
 
The Kaepernick episode illustrates the problem of progressive education, which seeks to rewrite our nation’s history and undermine the kind of informed patriotism that is essential to preserving liberty.
 
Instead of learning to love America, many students today learn to hate it.
 
The Nike shoe controversy, like the frenzy for tearing down statues that we witnessed in so many of America’s cities last summer, is the bitter fruit of this progressive educational agenda.
 
We must confront this destructive ideology with the truth about American history.
 
And we must nurture an informed patriotism among the young if our liberty is to be preserved. As always, liberty’s only sure defense is an educated citizenry prepared to defend it. 
 
This is why your support of Hillsdale College is so important.
 
Hillsdale’s educational outreach efforts reach and teach millions of Americans of all ages—including many young people—and equip them with the knowledge they need to understand and defend our great American heritage of liberty.
 
Your generous support today will...
•    Expand the circulation of Imprimis, Hillsdale’s digest of liberty, to reach millions of Americans (you can also receive a free subscription to Imprimis…for life).
 
•    Send millions of pocket-size copies of America’s founding documents to schools and individuals.
 
•    Increase the number of citizens (especially younger Americans) enrolling in Hillsdale’s free online courses such as “Constitution 101” and “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope.”
 
•    Launch Hillsdale-affiliated classical K-12 charter schools that teach thousands of students nationwide.
You should be aware that…
 
To maintain its independence, Hillsdale College undertakes its work while refusing EVERY PENNY of government funding—even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY.
 
Your support is crucial to ensuring that future generations of Americans will learn about and be prepared to defend freedom.
 
With a gift of $76 or more today to support educational outreach efforts that reach and teach millions, Hillsdale will send you a 3' x 5' Betsy Ross Flag to thank you for your support.. Supplies are limited, so please make your best tax-deductible gift right away.
 
You can give your best tax-deductible gift of $25, $76, $100, or even $250 or more by following the secure link below:
 
https://secured.hillsdale.edu/hillsdale/betsy-ross-flag
 
I hope you will display your Betsy Ross flag at your home or office. It reminds us of the debt we owe America’s Founders and of our obligation to preserve liberty for future generations.
 
In that spirit, I hope you will stand with us as we continue to provide the kind of education that has made possible our great American heritage of liberty.
 
Warm regards,

"FACT-CHECK THIS!
 
GS

China claims that coronavirus came from an old stupid bat, but Nancy Pelosi denied having been involved.

If the current power grid can't handle a night of 20 degrees temperatures without rolling blackouts, how are we going to plug 100 million electric cars in at night?

Are there any countries that tax their citizens and send some of it to Americans?

Imagine, if you will, a world where every tweet and meme must be fact checked, but not a ballot.

How to stop drunk drivers from killing sober drivers? Ban sober drivers from driving. That's exactly how gun control works.

Can we still order black coffee? Are brownies being taken off the shelf? Is White Castle changing its name? I'm sure Cracker Barrel is screwed. Can we still play Chinese checkers? Is that season still called Indian summer? No more Italian sausages? How far do you want to go with this foolishness?

Heck of a job, Democrats! You've managed to bring back the 1918 pandemic, the 1929 depression, the 1968 race riots and the 1973 gas prices - all at the same time.

RR#1

WHATEVER THE ORIGIN, THIS RINGS TRUE.

GS

Camels

The founder of Dubai, Sheik Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my  grandson is going to ride a Land Rover but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again.

Why is that, he was asked?

And his reply was, Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times. Many will not understand it, but you have to  raise warriors, not parasites." And add to that the historical reality that all great empires...the Persians, the Trojans, the  Egyptians,the Greeks, the Romans, and in later years, the British...all rose and perished within 240 years. They were not conquered by external enemies; they rotted from within. America has now passed that 240 year mark, and the rot is starting to be visible and is accelerating. We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover Years  the camels are on the horizon.The greatest generation consisted of 18 year old kids storming the  beaches at Normandy. And now, two generations later, some 18-year-old kids want to hide in safe rooms when they hear words that hurt their feelings. They also want free stuff from the government because they think they are entitled to it.

The "camels are on the horizon"  for sure.

Alan Dershowitz: Palin Trial Judge Made 'Mistake,' Fuels Appeal


RR#3

"WHAT WOULD I DO?"
 
That is the question I have asked myself many times since my early years when I began to follow important public stories and controversies and challenges. 
What would I do if i were the decision-maker? This little exercise has worked well for me in my maturation and education and training. 
 
Ukraine matters because it is home to 40 million people who have decided to live in a democracy, with whatever Freedom that entails. 
After having fought two world wars and a Cold War to guarantee that Freedom for our fellow world citizens who seek and achieve it for themselves -  at Great Cost to them and to the rest of us, I am prepared to Fight for the Freedom of Ukraine and of Taiwan. And the fate of both of those democracies are intertwined. 
That's what Great Britain and France did when Poland was invaded by the Nazis in 1939 - and it was the Right Thing to do.
 
Thus, I would guarantee to Putin that Ukraine would Not be allowed to join NATO at any time in the future - and that any attempted Russian take-over of that democratic nation would be countered with the immediate and full military and economic power of the EU and of the West: ie. WW lll. That would also be true of Taiwan. 
 
Will that happen? No, because our European Democracies still remember the last century. What they don't remember is Lessons Learned from the tyrants and despots who are and always will be with us. And we will have a short Cold War followed by the inevitable after we are in a weakened state. And The West Will Then Lose. 
 
WHAT SAY YOU?

GS

For those who ask: “Why does Ukraine matter? “

This is why Ukraine matters.

It is the second largest country by area in Europe by area and has a population

of over 40 million - more than Poland.

Europe's 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system;

3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants;

3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km);

It’s Black History Month—which means ALL black voices are being amplified by the mainstream media, right? WRONG.
 
If anything, Black History Month reminds us that strong, pro-America, black conservatives are constantly under attack for speaking out against the toxic “oppressor” and “victimhood” narrative the left uses to keep us divided.
 
They need to be supported each and every day.
 
We need your help to celebrate these incredible voices and share them far and wide!
Brilliant, powerful voices like Brandon Tatum, Carol Swain, Amala Ekpunobi, Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Burgess Owens, and Jason Riley are speaking the truth.

 
“… I do not celebrate Black History Month...it’s 2022. When are we going to be done with this divisive stuff…we are Americans, we are past that, it is over…black history is American history. The End!”
—Brandon Tatum
 
“Even though I was born and raised in rural southern poverty during the era of segregation, I was not taught to hate white people or to hate America…No one around me encouraged me to see myself as a victim…I think it is disgraceful how we teach children to view each other with suspicion and distrust.”
—Carol Swain
 
“When I think about the black community in America and how we are taught to be victims, it is devastating for me…that type of mindset holds people back from taking responsibility for their own actions because you always have someone to blame…”
—Amala Ekpunobi
 
“One of the big #FakeNews narratives is that ‘institutional,’ ‘structural’ and ‘systemic’ racism remain a major problem in America, when, in fact, race has never been a more insignificant barrier to success in America.”
—Larry Elder
 
“...BLACK AMERICA, WAKE UP. ENLIGHTEN YOURSELVES. DO NOT BE OWNED BY A MAINSTREAM MEDIA AGENDA.”
—Candace Owens
 
"Black activists and white progressives stress racism because it serves their own interests, not because it actually improves the station of blacks.”
—Jason Riley


The left is trying to silence these voices through online bullying and outright censorship. We need to share their perspectives with young Americans NOW more than ever before…and we need your support to do it!

AMERICA'S GORDIAN KNOT.
 
"From the White House to Capitol Hill, from the diplomatic corps to the national security establishment to the executive suites of Wall Street and Silicon Valley, American elites have sold the rope that will hang us to Beijing."
 
Thus begins the final chapter of Peter Schweizer's 2022 exposition entitled "RED HANDED; How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win", after having presented reams of evidence indicting "The Bidens, Capitol Hill, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Diplomats, The Bush and Trudeau Dynasties, Higher Education"
 
That final chapter, entitled "Fighting Back", is a wish list of approaches that might be used to extricate us from this morass. 
In my opinion, the only action that will work is that reportedly taken by Alexander the Great when confronted with the Gordian Knot: a sword slash with one mighty blow: declare China the adversary and developing enemy that it is and legislate all future American private business activities as treasonous. 
We can do this before - or after - we end up in a shooting war with those two Oriental powers: China and Russia.

We must Impeach Biden

Every day that goes by is another day that Joe Biden is taking orders from the Jihad Squad and kowtowing to China. His actions are destroying our nation and pushing us closer and closer to full-tilt socialism.
 
I wish this was just hyperbole, but it’s our unfortunate reality, and that’s why I’m continuing my efforts to impeach Joe Biden this year. Just look at what he’s done to our great nation in the last 12 months:
 
•    Caused everything from gas, food, clothes, and anything else you buy to exponentially increase in price.
•    Encouraged a national crime wave
•    Pushed for more mandates
•    Empowered Dr. Anthony Fauci to continue perpetuating lies and hysteria
•    Implemented woke military policies that have servicemembers being taught CRT instead of combat-readiness,
•    Botched the Afghan withdrawal
•    Allowed our nation’s border to be overrun by 2,000,000 illegals and now Homeland Security cannot account for at least 50,000 of them
•    Failed to hold China accountable, and
•    Now he’s pushing us into a war with Russia.
 
Worst of all, if you question him, he’ll call you a “stupid son of a bitch!”
 
Does that sound like the man we want in the White House?
 
Everything Biden does is intended to appease the radical left and hide his racist past, so he accuses conservatives of being a “racist” in hopes of bullying us into supporting legislation
 
As kids often say, “it takes one to know one.”
 
Biden is so deranged that he refuses to demand we use voter ID laws when voting, but he’s already questioning the results of the 2022 Election—10 months in advance.
  
If you love this nation as much as I do, then I’m sure I don’t have to convince you of the importance of impeaching Joe Biden. Unfortunately, the media is still covering up his mistakes and malfeasance.
 
He’s being protected so much by the media that he even gave a speech recently where he touted his “accomplishments” but then blamed Republicans for not allowing him to do more.
 
On what planet does he think rising crime rates, milk prices, gas prices and failing to stop a border invasion would qualify as accomplishments?
 
We must impeach and remove Biden now before he does MORE damage to our country with his “accomplishments.”
 
We must hold Biden accountable for his crimes against our nation and impeach him. If you support my efforts then please help me with your donation of $50, $100, or even $1,000 TODAY!
 
Now that he’s got the opportunity to fill a seat on the Supreme Court, he’ll only select someone whom AOC and the Jihad Squad endorse based on the color of their skin, not the content of their character.
 
He continues to turn a blind eye when his son Hunter uses the White House to enrich himself from selling artwork—something the Biden White House has flagged as a major method of international money laundering.
 
Joe Biden has made America a more corrupt, more expensive, and dangerous place to live, work and pray. The American people are ready for a change, but corrupt Joe Biden won’t go away without putting up one heck of a fight.
 
We need to be prepared.
 
Act now before Biden and his criminal family continue to ENRICH themselves while America is destroyed by radical socialist policies and our children’s future is sold to the communist Chinese government.
 
Corruption is nothing new to Joe Biden and neither is breaking the rules to get his way. His actions are so dangerous to the future of our great republic that we must remove him before he does any more damage.
 
I am fighting for you in Congress, and I need your help to ensure we can stop the criminal Biden enterprise before it’s too late. Join me!
 
God Bless America,
