Monday Morning Mixture
This weekend a young man in Michigan asked Abdul El-Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed spent more than four minutes attacking the young man for asking the question while not bothering to answer the question. His lack of an answer is the answer to the question.
Abdul El-Sayed is claiming that for people to ask him about the Muslim Brotherhood is comparable to John Kennedy being asked about the Vatican and the Catholic church during his 1960 campaign. That's like someone claiming that asking them if they are in the KKK is like asking Jimmy Carter if he was a Baptist. El-Sayed's chain has no links.
It's time for us to redefine the term "Doctor". El-Sayed has a medical degree. He has never done a residency. He is not licensed to practice medicine. He has served as the director of the Detroit Health Department, but he has never actually practiced medicine. So, a guy who has never actually treated a medical patient is deciding how people should receive medical care. Based on what I see online, there's a strong possibility that I may be the only breathing human in our solar system who thinks that this concept is incredibly stupid.
Why in the name of all that is holy do we let "Doctors" who have never actually seen a patient tell us all how we should handle a medical issue? The name Dr. Fauci comes to mind right now. Mandy Cohen is a close second. Fauci, Cohen and thousands like them may be "scientists" (and I am not sure about that), but I don't believe that they are real doctors.
If Dr. Jill Biden and Dr. Phil have not completely destroyed the idea of "Doctor" having real meaning, then I believe that Dr. Fauci may have administered the "death ray" for the term. If you want to be called "Doctor", practice medicine.
If that doesn't make sense to you, let's go another direction. I love history. I love to study wars. I have been to hundreds of battlefields. If I see a historical marker about a battle, I stop. Do I tell people to call me "General"? Hell, no!! Let's end the practice of labeling every schmuck who stayed in school too long "Doctor".
I checked the schedule for the World Series this morning. If the Series goes for seven games, the last game will be played on October 31. It's a night game, so there's a possibility that it could be the first World Series to end in November.
The Series scheduling is kind of like the "Super Bowl". The Super Bowl used to be played in mid-January, now it's fighting Valentine's Day in mid-February for attention. They have never played a Super Bowl on Valentine's Day, I am guessing that they never will.
In the North Carolina US Senate race, the law firm of Marc Elias is representing Roy Cooper. Last week, the Elias Law Group sent the North State Journal a "cease and desist" letter for asking if Cooper had any medical issues that would prevent him from serving the six-year term if he wins the election. The Journal had sent Cooper's campaign eight letters without a response. Cooper's opponent, Michael Whatley's campaign answered the Journal's question on the first try without needing an attorney. If something sounds strange here, you are correct. What's the Cooper campaign concealing?
Does the El-Sayed campaign use the same attorney as the Cooper campaign?
