The Dr C Robert Jones Situation Report

Your Terms Are Acceptable: Green-Haired, Morbidly Obese Leftist Women Call for Sex Strike Over Abortion Ruling It's an idea as old as Aristophanes' Lysistrata (that's a play from the 5th century BC, kids): women who haven't gotten their way have decided to withhold sex from their men until the frustrated lugs comply with their wishes. In New York City's Union Square on Saturday, a pro-abortion protester named Caroline Healey declared: “I think it's absolutely valid for us to be withholding the Holy Grail that men seem to think is important.” Judging from the many videos that have surfaced over the last few days of green-haired, slovenly dressed, morbidly obese, body-painted pro-abortion protesters, there is only one response: Your terms are acceptable.  

There's a memorable scene in the Coen Brother film O Brother Where Art Thou (2000) where the fictional Mississippi governor Pappy O'Daniel (inspired by the real Texas politician W. Lee O'Daniel) confronts assistants running his campaign for re-election. Facing a surging opponent, O'Daniel demands new ideas to turn the race around. When his dimwitted son suggests "people like that reform, maybe we should get us some," the governor explodes. "Reform, you soft-headed sumb---h? How we gonna run reform when we're the damn incumbent?"

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama's honor, that Biden's presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do.

I have a new name for the current occupant of the White House: Doomsday Joe. We have heard “Creepy Joe,” “Ol' Joe,” “Sleepy Joe,” and “Stumblin' Joe,” but now let's add “Doomsday Joe,” because he, the Democrat Party, and the puppet masters behind the scenes are producing the script and pulling the strings are a cluster munition weapon of mass destruction that is wreaking havoc across America.

The allegations against Joe Biden are stunning.  They involve corruption and the risk of treason.  Influence-peddling with the Chinese, Russians, and Ukrainians, to the tune of multimillions of dollars pocketed by Biden and his family.  The PRC, Putin, and others appear to have the goods on Biden.  That makes the former vice president subject to blackmail. 

"All you need to do is hear what the President did this week to know this is not about immigration at all. Because once you start telling American citizens to quote 'go back to your own countries,' this tells you that this President's policies are not about immigration, it's about ethnicity and racism," Ocasio-Cortez said during a town hall on immigration held in her district in Queens, New York, in reference to Trump's tweeted racist attacks at her and three other minority congresswomen known as "The Squad." Her remarks are nonsense. Is she trying to tell us that were the border surgers pouring over the border without papers Caucasian, President Trump wouldn't mind? And, by the way, many of them are - hasn't she heard that 'Latino' isn't a race?

@RealDonaldTrump: So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly...... ....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how.... ....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements! src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/6a72a3fc/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript">

There's a marvelous scene in Alfred Hitchcock's “North by Northwest” where an advertising executive, played by Cary Grant, swipes a taxi from another man by claiming that his secretary is ill. When she chides him for the lie, Grant unblinkingly replies: “In the world of advertising, there's no such thing as a lie. There's only expedient exaggeration.” Like so many of these shiny objects that people get totally excited about... once you get close enough you start to see that it ain't so shiny. I think [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] is crumbling under the pressure of answering questions."  Her famous claim that the US could save $21 trillion by keeping tighter controls on Pentagon budgets was obviously ludicrous.

Will the media ever call out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance?  Even after the mostly breezy interview on Wednesday with CNN's Chris Cuomo, the New York Times should transition from describing Ocasio-Cortez as a “political rock star” to “kind of slow.”  Cuomo asked Ocasio-Cortez basic questions about her political positions, like whether she supported Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House speaker — “We gotta take a look at what's going on," Ocasio-Cortez said — and how the U.S. would pay for multitrillion-dollar universal healthcare, to which she questioned why we don't consider “the cost of all the funeral expenses of those who died” because we don't have universal healthcare.Instead of asking if Ocasio-Cortez was sober, Cuomo simply nodded along thoughtfully. This is the person liberal New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg on Thursday describedas “charismatic and rousing.”

Turns out the ones he fought the hardest for lost.

Caravan refers to, “A group of travelers, as merchants or pilgrims, journeying together for safety in passing through deserts or hostile territory.” Conjuring up images dating back to biblical days of people braving hardship during their travels, the media has coopted the term for political benefit to describe a horde of illegal immigrants heading to the U.S. just ahead of a major election. They are neither merchants nor pilgrims. I doubt they are facing severe hardship during their journey as most of their basic needs are being met courtesy of wealthy benefactors.  

The Trump administration's often overlooked list of achievements has surpassed those of former President Ronald Reagan at this time and more than doubled since the last tally of accomplishments after his first year in office, giving President Trump a solid platform to run for re-election on. As Trump nears the two-year mark of his historic election and conducts political rallies around the country, during which he talks up his wins in hopes it will energize Republican voters, the administration has counted up 289 accomplishments in 18 categories, capped by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Resurgence and Resilience 17 Years After 9/11 In seventeen years we have come to understand the power of faith and the pain of sacrifice more than we ever imagined. And just like the souls of the faithful departed who sought heavenly refuge as they flew from windows above the pool now filled in their memory, the fate of their brothers and sisters who rushed into the burning towers to save them was also sealed. Now sick first responders die day by day in a slow motion replay of nine eleven free fall. So above all on this day we honor the dead, the living and the sick, innocents and heroes all of every color, creed, station.  

The search for the Great American Novel should have ended in 1957 when a Russian immigrant named Ayn Rand published Atlas Shrugged. Arresting in its breadth, depth, and style, Atlas Shrugged is a manifesto on politics, philosophy, and economics wrapped up in a compelling narrative featuring larger-than-life (and smaller-than-life) characters. Atlas Shrugged has shaped the worldview of many devotees of liberty, and it surged in popularity in the wake of the recent financial crisis since it became clear that the government's response to crisis and recession would not be to learn from its mistakes and recede but to expand its reach.

While purporting to be a blessing, this is in fact a curse. The expression is always used ironically, with the clear implication that 'uninteresting times', of peace and tranquillity, are more life-enhancing than interesting ones. 'May you live in interesting times' is widely reported as being of ancient Chinese origin but is neither Chinese nor ancient, being recent and western. It certainly seems to have been intended to sound oriental, in the faux-Chinese 'Confucius he say' style, but that's as near to China as it actually gets. Confucius's actual sayings are as elusive as those of his western counterpart Aesop - we have no written records from either of them. The phrase was introduced in the 20th century in the form 'interesting age' rather than 'interesting times' and appears that way in the opening remarks made by Frederic R. Coudert at the Proceedings of the Academy of Political Science, 1939

MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES   While purporting to be a blessing, this is in fact a curse.

The media is in a frenzy louder than feeding time at the zoo over the guilty pleas by Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, and Michael Cohen, Trump's (former) personal lawyer. Manafort's plea was unrelated to Trump.  Cohen pleaded to tax evasion (also unrelated to Trump), but also two counts of working with Trump to violate campaign finance laws. Attorney for Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis, discusses Cohen's pleading guilty to eight counts of tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations. Davis also says there is no dispute President Trump committed a crime.

In his second term as president, Dwight Eisenhower looked like an old man. He'd had a serious heart attack in 1955, requiring extensive hospitalization. Ike later suffered a stroke. In contrast to his seeming senescence, his successor, John F. Kennedy, seemed vibrant and flamboyant. The reality was that Eisenhower was not really that old — he was just 62 when first elected. And Kennedy wasn't actually that  vigorous, and indeed was secretly afflicted by serious medical problems, including Addison's disease, that his aides concealed from the public.

President Donald Trump's inner circle is said to be facing fears that the biggest threat to his presidency is not impeachment, but rather his cabinet using the 25th Amendment to declare him "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." The amendment has been invoked in this way only three times before, and coincidentally, each time has involved presidential colons. The 25th Amendment of the Constitution was passed in 1967 after fears about presidential succession after President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The first two sections deal with presidents and vice presidents resigning, dying, or being generally removed from office, and these sections were invoked in order to elevate Gerald R. Ford to the presidency after Richard Nixon resigned in 1974. The second two sections of the amendment deal specifically with what to do with a president who is unfit to serve, and it is these sections Trump has to worry about. If he is removed under these sections, he would be joining a small list of presidents who all had their powers temporarily removed due to doctors operating on their colons.

Let us assume that Jimmy Carter is an intelligent, decent, hardworking man. Assume, moreover, that he has appointed to his cabinet and sub-cabinet many men and women who are experienced and dedicated. How, then, can a president—certainly no less mentally alert than most past presidents—with many advisers of high caliber, produce such an undistinguished presidency?   It's a puzzlement. And it cannot be accounted for by most of the explanations currently in vogue, such as: Carter's an outsider who really doesn't understand the levers of national governance; or Carter surrounds himself with a “Georgia Mafia” whose weaknesses are the same as his own; or Carter is a bad manager who hasn't been able to sort out decisions that a president must make from those that should be settled at lower levels; or Congress is so uncontrollable that it will not allow any president to exercise the reins of leadership; or the bureaucracy has grown beyond the span of presidential control; or many of the nation's problem's are highly intractable; or even all these reasons taken together—although there is truth in all.

IS TRUMP UNFIT FOR OFFICE? The 25th Amendment to the Constitution may define the conditions for suspending a president's authority, but it does not constrain the reasoning behind it. As written, the amendment states that if a president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office,” the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can suspend him. Historically, such an inability was attributable to illness or medical problems, but, in light of President Donald Trump, I offer we expand our interpretation: Medicine aside, it is clear Trump is unfit to serve, and lawmakers must invoke the 25th Amendment against him. Fears of physical disability were certainly foremost in bringing about the amendment. Going back to at least the 1890s, when President Grover Cleveland had surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his jaw, the country had been in jeopardy of being governed by a chief executive who had lost his physical capacity to lead the nation. In 1919-1920, when a stroke immobilized Woodrow Wilson, and his wife largely ran the executive branch, Americans worried about finding a way to overcome temporary or permanent presidential incapacity. Franklin Roosevelt's tenure in the White House added to the sense of urgency about replacing a disabled president. By 1944, it was clear to people around Roosevelt that his health was in decline and that he might not live out a fourth term, which proved to be the case.

Liberals call Trump “Hitler” and the conservatives who support him “Nazis.” Which, as I pointed out in my last column, is wrong, reckless and bordering on insanity. Hitler and the Nazis killed 6 million Jews and tens of millions of others in World War II. Nothing compares to Hitler or the Nazis. To make that comparison is obscene. So it is ironic that Democrats and liberals are acting like the Mafia. Or street thugs. Or “domestic terrorists.” Take your pick.

A few months back, while clearing out a closet, I found a long-forgotten “Who is John Galt” coffee mug which also bears one of his quotes:  “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."  Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, loosely stated, promotes rational self-interest and laissez-faire capitalism.  John Galt epitomizes all that is glorious of capitalism in its purist form -- innovation, self-reliance, and freedom from government interference.  How ironic that, this morning, I noticed that the mug, at its new home on my desk, was sitting on a newspaper whose feature article reported on the riots in Greece following a new round of legislated austerity measures.  How would my fictional friend view the current state of Greece, the Euro and the EMU's intervention, or the more activist policies of global central banks?  I have no idea.  My, admittedly, scant knowledge of Objectivism is similar to my view of Ron Paul's platform:  Some aspects appeal to me, but not at a price that I'd be willing to pay.    This next presidential election presents a choice between two social contracts: the socialist-fascist contract of ? and the limited government-free enterprise-capitalist contract of Mr. Donald John Trump and the Republican Party.  To help you choose your contract, please answer the following question.  A simple Yes or No will do.  

How Did Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' Predict an America Spinning Out of Control? Nearly thirty years after her death, Ayn Rand's novels continue to be wildly popular—"Atlas Shrugged" alone is selling more today than it did when it was first published in 1957 -- more than one million copies have sold since the 2008 elections. Ayn Rand is being hailed a prophet.  

Washington is a mess. And the effects of that mess are not just affecting the life of millions; they are changing the direction of our entire country. Since the Democrats took over the majority in Washington, our country has seen a massive shift from a nation of freedom and prosperity to regulations and government dependence. Somehow they have managed to justify a $17 trillion debt, found a way to skirt their constitutional responsibility to pass a budget each year, and regulate the way the private sector does business. They've even managed to get away with telling individuals what type of healthcare is best for them: 65 year old men need maternity care.  How have they possibly continued on this path of intrusion without an uprising? We may have an answer and it's all in the name of the poor.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to compulsive behaviors. OCD often centers on themes such as a fear of germs or the need to arrange objects in a specific manner. Symptoms usually begin gradually and vary throughout life. We see this kind of stuff every day from the media. They are obsessed with every small detail of Trump's existence. They compulsively feel the need to not only point to something negative, but also the sinister, the unbalanced, or what they see as "evil."

src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/6929d1c/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"> Nationwide, while Democrats currently hold fewer seats than they have at any time since Republicans took away all their slaves after the Civil War, where they do remain in power, the murder rate is on the rise. According to a new report, across the country, the murder rate rose 8% over last year, but this is primarily due to a handful of cities -- Chicago, Baltimore, and Houston. And all three of those cities have been run exclusively by Democrats for decades. In 2015 and 2016, several cities -- especially Chicago -- saw their murder rates increase significantly. The distorting effect of this concentrated increase is illustrated in Figure 6, which breaks down the total increase in murders between 2014 and 2016 by city. As shown below, Baltimore, Chicago and Houston together account for around half of the increase in murder in major cities between 2014 and 2016.

All but one of the murder victims in St. Louis last year were Black, and everybody accused of those murders were also Black. Those were the statistics that prompted one of the city's top law enforcement officials to make a personal plea to his fellow African-Americans: Stop it now. “One hundred percent of the people that were caught and accused of those crimes were African-Americans. We have to address that,” St. Louis Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards said specifically to “Black folk” during an event marking the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday on Monday. “We cannot go forward and continue King's dream unless we look in the mirror and address that problem. That's a problem that's on us.

Would you think to have 41 people shot [in Chicago] between Friday morning and Monday morning would be much more newsworthy and deserve much more outrage?” he asked. From Mar. 16 to Mar. 19, 41 people, mostly African-American, were shot in Chicago, Obama's adopted hometown. Ten were killed, but there was little reaction outside Chicago, say several African-American leaders and commentators. Why hasn't Jamiel "Jas" Shaw II, 17, a standout Los Angeles student-athlete gunned down for the color of his skin and the red of his Spiderman backpack received a scintilla of the mainstream media attention paid to Trayvon Martin?  Both were young black males of the same age when they were murdered.

The Death of Freedom of Speech and the Growth of Intolerance Freedom of Speech requires me to respect your right to say what I don't like to hear--even to publicly insult and humiliate me--just as it requires you to respect my right to say what you don't like to hear. And just because we have ideas that are unacceptable to each other, it doesn't make us enemies. You may be giving me the best advice in the world but I don't realize it and find it offensive. Should you be prevented from, or punished for, saying it? We are supposed to love each other despite our opposing ideas. When I recognize your right to say things I don't like, I don't get angry at you for saying them. You, in return, respect me for acting respectable. Furthermore, since I don't get angry at you, you cannot have the pleasure of getting me angry, so you don't seek to torment me with words. All wise people throughout the world understand this. It is the most basic ingredient of peace.

I'm sick of tiptoeing around liberal snowflakes There is a word that has, in the last few years, taken on special status above and beyond its literal meaning. ‘Offended.' If someone is offended by something, heaven help the person who did it. The more eagle-eyed may notice that I myself tip-toed around the more natural and previously accepted phrasing ‘he who did it' to avoid offending anyone. Many people feel political correctness has run out of control on college campuses across the U.S. Unfortunately, some of this behavior has crept into other institutions, from police departments to high schools. A Pew Research Center survey in 2016 found that 59 percent of Americans say “too many people are easily offended these days over the language that others use.” While people outside the bigotsphere try to avoid language or actions that offend others, at the same time, some attempts at politically correct behavior can go too far. These PC terms can devalue the English language and cause confusion.

If there's anything that lays out how arrogant and entitled the Democratic Party is, take a look at how many Democratic grandees' feathers are being ruffled by Democratic Socialist "it girl" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated a ten-term Democratic incumbent in their Bronx-Queens congressional district earlier this month and who now outshines them all. Four — count 'em, four — candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America won spots on the ballot during this week's primary elections in the Keystone State. Two of them won't even be opposed by a Republican in the general election.

Trumpalicious? Trumpmazing? Trumptastic! Is Donald Trump the best leader America has ever had, or is he so far out of his depth that he has decided to drown? It is beyond all doubt, in my mind, that Trump will be one of the most memorable and controversial presidents ever. He had only been in office for a matter of days and had already begun destroying Obama's legacy, signed numerous executive orders and annoyed the Mexicans. Within hours of becoming president he had signed an executive order with the aim of rolling back Obama's Affordable Care Act and replacing it with his own alternative. The media are already dubbing it “Trumpcare”; I wonder whether he will keep it? It sounds far too egotistical for “The Donald”! Somewhat more worrying to Trump's critics is that he has also met with the CIA and received the nuclear codes. In short, hundreds of nuclear weapons have been put at the disposal of a man who even gets all trigger-happy when Meryl Streep criticises his success.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he intends to run for reelection in 2020 because "everybody wants me to" and there are no Democrats who could defeat him, the Mail on Sunday reported.  Asked by British journalist Piers Morgan in an interview given on Friday whether he was going to run in 2020, Trump was quoted by the Mail on Sunday as saying: "Well I fully intend to. It seems like everybody wants me to."  Trump said he did not see any Democrat who could beat him: "I don't see anybody. I know them all and I don't see anybody." America may have been granted a reprieve through an event that could have been a long-term disaster potentially turning out to be its salvation.  That event was the presidency of Barack Obama and the ensuing hubris of his fellow-travelers in the American Left.     

                                                                                    BLACKS OWNED SLAVES!!!!!!   One of the most vexing questions in African-American history is whether free African Americans themselves owned slaves. The short answer to this question, as you might suspect, is yes, of course; some free black people in this country bought and sold other black people, and did so at least since 1654, continuing to do so right through the Civil War. For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?
