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.

HOW DOES AN AMERICAN KEEP UP WITH "THE NEWS" IN THESE TIMES OF NATIONAL DANGER, LIES, HYPERBOLE AND OMISSION?
 
With great difficulty.
 
The following represent my continuing efforts to assist in that personal and civic responsibility, as I have been doing for over two decades.
 
1) TYLENOL AND AUTISM.  Not yet scientifically established. But to be considered. See the article by Sumathi Reddy, (WSJ. September 25, 2025)
2) THE EDITORIALS AND OPINIONS OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Always good; sometimes excellent, still often with a whiff of "Trump Derangement Syndrome". 
3) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A special section among the Categories on this web - site. Ignore the developments at your likely peril.
4) GEN - Z. BORN BETWEEN 1997 AND 1210. Often raised by one parent, often inattentively, by social media constantly, and by "educators" politically.
5) PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE U.N.  Read his report in its entirety. RIGHT ON POINT!
6) A RETURN TO MORALITY, ETHICS...AND RELIGION...for each of us in our own way - but absolutely.  Consider The National Catholic Register.
 
And for where we have been during the last century, spend some time with the following three books:

AMERICA.
 
These times are not an end to The Greatest Experiment in Human Governance...but a challenging New Beginning. 
Much more on that to come in these pages. 
 
But first, let us honor the young Man whose passing from this mortal life to his Immortal Life has focused our own future life and work.

Hillsdale Mourns Charlie Kirk


SATURDAY, September 13, 2025

WE AMERICANS HAVE BEEN MARINATING IN THE TOXIC LEFTIST OOZE FOR WELL OVER A DECADE.

But this is different. This harkens back to the "unrest" of the 1850's regarding Slavery, which led directly to the Civil War. 
All the more reason for All Of Us to Stay Engaged and Not to Withdraw. 
Risky, Yes.      But otherwise Fatal  - to us and to our Nation. 
 
To this end, I suggest several readings:
  Whether you are in your Teens or in your Eighties...YOU MUST DO THIS.
As I approach 93 years of age, you can be sure that I will continue doing this...for a day or for a decade.

FRIDAY, September 12, 2025

Yesterday, I woke up and asked my husband if Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a nightmare.

Today, I woke up to continued celebrations of his death, the deeper realization that our country has advanced cancer, and fear that we are in danger of losing her to it.

That advanced cancer is evil, widespread, and metastasizing.

The disease is not only political, as Charlie himself knew. It is spiritual. A culture without God will always end in confusion, division, and violence.

But if we focus only on political solutions, we will not only be disappointed, we will fail. The root of our decline is spiritual–hate exists in the human heart–and therefore the revival must begin there.

Just two days before Charlie’s life ended, the President of the United States announced an initiative that drew little attention. He called it: America Prays. He asked for Americans to gather in groups of 10 for an hour a week to pray for the soul of America.
 
Charlie Kirk knew this was necessary; that’s why the man who did the most to move Gen Z toward conservatism, a +44 shift, said he wanted to be remembered most of all as courageous for his faith.

As I said on Newsmax this morning, Charlie’s unique gift was integrating his deep Christian faith with his unapologetic defense of America’s founding values. He didn’t compartmentalize–he lived what so many of us know but need to remember again: that faith and politics are not enemies but allies when serving the truth about the human person.

Charlie’s example challenges us: Are we willing to take risks for what we believe, or are we content to stay comfortable?

We must take those risks with our faith and with our witness of it in the public square.

CV is proud to partner with the White House on the America Prays initiative and we invite you to join us in praying daily for the soul of the nation into and throughout the America 250 jubilee year. Let’s start today, all the while refusing to separate our faith from our call to live it publicly.

Just as Charlie Kirk so courageously did.
 
Go forward bravely,

RR#1

HEREWITH, ANOTHER EDITION OF "POT POURRI"...this one emphasizing us as Human Beings.  

 
But "Who makes me do it", in the translated version of my Italian - American family?
Answer: No one but myself, throughout at least my adult life. To which I add: Don't thank me.  Just Visit.
 
1) First, the Medical issues. 
a) Regarding Vaccines..."What a Mess". But this is what I will be doing:
I'll wait a month for the Covid 19 booster...and then I'll get a "recommended" booster for this year;
I'll get the Flu vaccine in October, to increase the chance of continued effectiveness by next March;
I'm still reserving judgment regarding RSV;
I will get the latest Pneumovax vaccine soon;
HPV is a very good idea for teens and twenty-somethings;
b) Parents and their Children: seriously consider Flag football and avoiding collision sports. You really Do need your Brain for the better part of a century.
 
2) THINK AND RE-THINK ABOUT MORALITY, RELIGION AND ETHICS. GOD GAVE US FREE WILL; AND HE PROMISED US HEAVEN - UNLESS WE
SCREW UP!
 
3) The most beautiful - and the most problematic - of our options is Sex. Here I stress Marriage and Children and Family Life.  Otherwise BEWARE. 
Regarding the Trans Scene,  STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN...AND DO NOTHING UNTIL YOUR LATER TEENAGES.
 
4) Our most valuable asset in life is our parents and our siblings - and a lively family life. Much of the World's Misery comes from the Absence of That!
 
5) Computers and I-phones and Social media should be Tools for Us, especially in our earlier years. THEY SHOLD NOT CONTROL US, which they have been doing to the latest two generations. Again: "What a Mess."
 
6) HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS  ARE KEY TO A BALANCED AND HEALTHY LIFE, AT EVERY AGE. That should be your "Major" at every stage of life. 
 
 
As I approach 93 years of age, I try to continue to follow the above guide-lines. 
And as both a physician and as my parents' son, I continue to "Preach and Preach". 
"Is Anybody Out There?"

RR#2

It is with profound grief that I respond to the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk during his “American Comeback” tour at Utah Valley University. Today, our nation mourns not only the loss of a bold voice for truth, but a husband and father who leaves behind a wife and two little children. We commend his soul to the mercy of Almighty God and entrust his grieving family to the consolation of Christ, who alone can heal such a wound.
 
Charlie Kirk was targeted for one reason: he spoke the truth without fear. He defended faith, family, and freedom with a clarity and courage rare in our age. His death is a stark reminder that hatred, when left unchecked, festers into violence. This was not merely an assault on one man: it was an assault on the principles of free dialogue, civic order, and human dignity.

As Catholics, we affirm with unwavering conviction that every human life is sacred. To meet words with bullets is the way of tyranny, not of liberty. Truth must be engaged with reason, persuasion, and debate; not silenced with bloodshed.
 
I call upon every leader, regardless of party or persuasion, to condemn this murder unequivocally. To remain silent in the face of such evil is to be complicit in its advance. Let this tragedy awaken America to the urgent need to recover respect for life, civility in discourse, and courage in the pursuit of truth.
 
We pray for the repose of Charlie’s soul, for the strength of his wife and children, and for the healing of a nation now scarred by his loss. May God receive him into eternal light, and may the sacrifice of his life inspire us all to stand more firmly for what is right, without fear.
 
Go forward bravely,

Kelsey Reinhardt
