    Yes, because ophthalmologist is also mispelled in the meme. Sorry but misspelled words are one of my pet peeves and my misspellings are usually do to the fact that I cannot type.

    Oh my -- sigh. I have been spelling ophtalmologist wrong myself -- looking now at the word ( I admit I haven't checked ) it may be due to how it is pronounced which I will check later, but I've been spelling it opthamologist. Well, I will say until my stroke and chemo I was asked so often to help others spell words in the work world. I'm sure they wouldn't do so now. Thanks. It is just another reason I love being here. I do indeed make many more mistakes as my mind sometimes functions too fast for me -- typing a word while I'm half way down the sentence I'm going to put in. I need to slow everything down I think.

    Well, ophthalmologists are doctors, but Rand Paul is an idiot.

    It’s coming back to bite DeSantis in the ass.


    On a lighter note, I came across this photo from a few days ago of Jill Biden and Queen Rania of Jordan in the White House. They make a striking pair! Rania is 50 years old, Jill is 70.

    pingpong: I second that about Rand Paul. He is not board certified either because he could not pass the exam so would you really trust your eyes to him? Sad thing is that his constituents do ao what does that make them?

    Queen Rania is not only beautiful but also a proponent for women's rights in Jordan. Love Jill Biden.

    betrayal,

    Rand Paul may have been a board certified ophthalmologist at one point. It’s unclear if he ever was actually certified by the ABO. Will dig a bit more.Whether he was or wasn’t he is definitely an arrogant, ignorant horses rear end. Here’s what snopes has to say:

    Mixture

    Mixture

    About this ratingWhat's True

    In 1999, Paul set up and was "certified" by the National Board of Ophthalmologists (NBO), his own certification organization, to protest a change in the American Board of Ophthalmologists' (ABO) rules. Paul, his wife, and his father-in-law were listed as being in charge of this board.

    What's False

    However, Paul wasn't certified by the NBO alone. Until 2005, he was also certified by the ABO, though he let that certification lapse. He remained "certified" by the NBO until it was dissolved in 2011.

    What's Undetermined

    Although Rand was advertised as "board-certified" until at least 2013, it is unknown if he continued to present himself as such after that.

    Nothing like certifying yourself? To remain certified one must have proof of continuing education so it looks like he opted not to do that for either. How many were actually certified by the NBO and was it just those who could not meet the standards established by the ABO? So I do stand corrected on the certification but he is an asshole of the first order and unfit to kiss the feet of Anthony Fauci.

    I agree with you Ruth.

    There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happiness" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. -Carl Gustav Jung

    With everyone on Rand Paul. I was aware that he had "started" his own certification board and that alone would have disqualified him in my eyes. No funny intended here. He is far too arrogant to be a DR. of anything, medical, psychological, or anything else. Never heard of being humble which likely had at least a little to do with the neighbor who took umbrage with him.

    I also think he leaves himself open for plenty of criticism and I hope that helps him lose his seat when the time comes. Then again, so many of the current people in the House and Senate ( I think the House is better overall ) deserve with their attitudes to be voted out asap. I think there is a good game being talked by them, but underneath I think is a lot of fear. They got in the wrong boat early on and now have to stay there. McCarthy ( read on the way here ) sure likely regrets his behavior with Pelosi and Cheney. Cheney is chipping away and every little strike she makes look McCarthy look more like a first class bumbler that doesn't know how to treat the Constitution because his backbone collapsed long ago. I'll never forget when he 'became' Minority Leader. He did not want the word Minority in his role description. I never heard ( maybe it never came out ) what he thought he should be called, but obviously felt that was below him in some way. What a mess the whole sordid bunch are -- stuck in their boat.

    As an aside -- I have no idea if she had a cheering squad when she was WH press secretary but I do know she had lying eyes and that goes double for her lying lips. So, wondering what her chances may be in AK.

    The FBI is claiming that it was instructed to do merely a background check on Kavanaugh, not a criminal investigation. This is apparently how the Drumph administration was able to claim "the FBI found no wrongdoing", because they were instructed not to pursue anything that might actually uncover wrongdoing. (Warning: may cause triggering due to picture of Kav's bro-face.)

    FBI says it got more than 4,500 tips on Kavanaugh, providing 'relevant' ones to Trump White House

    I find it disgusting that two men who were identified as female predators sit on the Supreme Court. The women who testified against them were subjected to cruel and unwarranted criticism for standing up for their rights. Bravo to them for standing up and trying to be heard.

    Now that disgusting piece of crap #45 says the Repugnicans warned him not to support Kavanagh? He did in spite of what was learned about his previous behaviors, but then 45 also assaulted women and got away with it, and he's only out of favor now only because he did not give 45 what he wanted, an election win he did not earn? There should be a morals code added to the Constitution which says "men of low moral character" need not apply. The pool of eligible applicants would be small.

    Shame on the FBI.

    Trish: I agree and should not have discriminated against women even if unintentionally. If we look at those desirous of Repugnican nomination for Prez, most already do not qualify. Do they even have a woman in the wings that could be a nominee? Should throw in ethical character as well since it is important as well and not evident in some of those currently in positions of power.

    There are those who give little of the much they have--and they give it
    for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
    And there are those who have little and give it all.
    There are those believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
    There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
    And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
    And there are those who give and know not pain in giving,
    nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;
    They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
    Through the hands of such as these God speaks,
    and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth.
