11. Former physician Ronny Jackson wins GOP primary runoff
Wed Jul 22, 2020, 11:42 PM

By Clare Foran, CNN
Updated 11:43 PM ET, Tue July 14, 2020

Dr. Ronny Jackson, President Donald Trump's former chief physician and one-time nominee for Veterans Affairs secretary, won a GOP primary runoff for a Texas congressional seat on Tuesday, CNN projects, defeating cattle industry lobbyist Josh Winegarner.

Trump had backed Jackson, who is a Texas native, while Winegarner had the support of outgoing 13th District Rep. Mac Thornberry, who announced last year that he would not run for reelection. The district is heavily conservative and was carried by Trump by more than 60 points. As a result, the Republican nominee is well positioned to keep the seat in GOP hands in the November general election.

The President championed Jackson's candidacy ...

12. Ronny Jackson: 'Wearing a mask is a personal choice'
Wed Jul 22, 2020, 11:44 PM
Jul 2020

Ronny Jackson, a Republican congressional candidate in Texas and the former physician to the president, said Wednesday that Americans should not be required to wear masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“I think that wearing a mask is a personal choice, and I don’t particularly want my government telling me that I have to wear a mask. And so I think that’s a choice that I can make” ...

Virtually all federal health officials have also implored Americans to wear masks as the United States reports record numbers of new cases. CDC Director Robert Redfield said Tuesday the country “can bring this epidemic under control” in as few as one to two months “if we can get everybody to wear a mask right now.”

But Jackson argued Wednesday that Americans should “look at your personal circumstances” and “look at your surroundings” to determine whether mask-wearing is “right for you” ...

... Jackson first made headlines as White House physician in 2018 when he gave Trump a surprisingly glowing bill of health, which was shortly followed by Trump tapping Jackson as veterans affairs secretary.

But Jackson’s nomination was derailed by allegations that he was frequently drunk on the job, abusive towards his subordinates and had a tendency to over-prescribe pills, earning him the nickname “Doctor Feelgood” ...

Get the round one in the round hole, you score points. Same for the star shaped and square ones.

If you try to force the round one in the square hole, you lose points.

If you throw a temper tantrum, the test is over. You fail.

If you throw a temper tantrum, fire the tester and blame Hillary or Obama or Biden or the deep state, you DEFINITELY fail.


But yeah, Old Man screaming at the Moon: 'Nuttin' wrong with me! I still have all my facilities!' (Mixing up words like 'faculties' and facilities' is a clear clue. 'Oranges' for 'origins', for instance.)

and I don't know why but this popped into my head

She put the lime in the coconut
she drank them both up.
She put the lime in the coconut
She called the doctor, woke him up, and said
"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take"
I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"
I said, "Doctor ain't there nothing I can take"
I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"
Now let me get this straight;
You put the lime in the coconut
You drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
You drank them both up
put the lime in the coconut,
you drank them both up
put the lime in the coconut,
called your doctor, woke him up, and said,"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take"
I said, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"
I said, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take"
I said, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"You put the lime in the coconut, you drink them both together,
put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better.
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both up,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning."
