Hello, my friends! I will actually talk about a dental issue later, after some current events. Yes, we just had another attack on free speech and those who dare practice it, courtesy of the religion of peace, in Copenhagen. At least the body count was 2, vs. the 14 in Paris. Denmark is one of the many Euro nations with a serious Muslim problem, mostly self inflicted by allowing huge numbers to occupy their normally peaceful nation. Once again, Obama's J.V. (ISIS) continues to over achieve and outperform beyond his wildest expectations. These sub humans have now metastasized into Libya and were seen bragging about invading Rome. The list of nations Obama has screwed up, fled and allowed to become havens for the most vile terrorists who've ever walked the earth continues to grow. They took over Al-Baghdadi, one of the few Iraqi cities still under Iraqi control, and are now surrounding the nearby base in Iraq where 300 Marines are training Iraqi soldiers to do what has been, to date, unthinkable for them-actually fight their enemies instead of running like wimps. The recent barbaric burning of 45 Iraqis, a mere 5 miles from the base, is ominous to say the least. At least Obama can correctly call them "Iraqi citizens", unlike the 21 Coptic Christians he spinelessly chose to merely call "Egyptian citizens". They were beheaded simultaneously on the beaches of Libya, after committing the mortal sins of being Christian and seeking work in Libya.
The random Jews I mentioned in the title are the people killed in that Kosher deli in Paris who just happened to be Jewish, imagine that! But these were called "random folks" by our clown-in-chief who still believes Orwellian new speak can hide the fact terrorism is on the march under his watch. The only problem with the emperor cloaking reality from the rest of us is the emperor's wearing no clothes. One thing I have to say about Obama, he's consistent. The idiots he places in high visibility positions are as hapless and deluded as he is, especially in the State Dept. They have 2 info twits named Jen Psaki and her sidekick, Marie Harf. These women are an embarrassment at the level of Baghdad Bob from the 2003 Iraq invasion. They seem more at home in the cast of Clueless or Legally Blonde than the real world, where the aggressive use of force rules the day. Harf actually believes (or parrots the stupidity fed to her) that if we only gave these terrorists jobs, they'd be dissuaded from mass killing and barbarism. Poverty may indeed play a role in deviant (sub human in this case) actions but Bin Laden and many of the 9-11 hijackers were rich. Besides, if Obama can't even create jobs in the US, who could believe he's gonna do it elsewhere, especially in hellholes like most of the ISIS held nations are? Maybe we can send Jeff Immelt over there, I doubt he'd be joking about shovel ready jobs. To anyone who doubts me, consider Kayla Mueller. This lovely young woman went to Syria with a group I often call Doctors Without Brains, to help the truly needy and downtrodden. She was taken hostage and killed by ISIS. I realize my nomenclature may offend some of you who've gone on dental missions and helped those who need it most. But to go into the Middle East for anything but to kill terrorists, under its present state of chaos and atrocity, is a suicide pact.
Can any of you remember Bill Clinton's sop to the PC pipe dream of diversity when talking about his cabinet in the 1990s? He said he wanted a "cabinet that looks like America" The problem with Obama is he wants (and has gotten) a cabinet that looks like Obama! That clown he has running the Army is as big a joke as his ridiculous name, Jeh. His incompetence is more akin to "meh". Will we ever have a Pres. with more Defense Sec. turnover than Obama? I doubt it, only coaching the Dolphins is less desirable.

My concern is we have a buffoon who's obviously stalling, postponing, foot dragging- anything to run out the clock and leave his successor with more crap than the NY sewer system to clean up. Remember Bowe Bergdahl? That case was wrapped up several months ago but our hapless military is too scared to announce the verdict or carry out any punishment. Besides, Bowe needs to take a number and wait for fellow Army traitor, Bradley Manning, to complete his ongoing tranny process. Barry knows he can count on the low info morons to be totally disconnected, while the state run media and liberal historians paper it over to create a legacy for him. He's even talked of staying in DC to oversee the BS. But, as he dithers, we have ISIS and other terror groups who are no doubt preparing to pull off another large scale attack in our nation. If the Tsarnaev Bros. were able to do it in Boston, imagine a well funded, highly trained and more virulent group of monsters? Now to dentistry.
Last post I talked about the LECOM issue and how this model of less than well trained dentists may become the "new normal". My friends, this is no accident, it's a purposeful strategy. Here's how it works. First, you open dental schools whose grads have little or no real training, be it from a proper faculty with enough experienced practitioners who can pass on their years of real world experience to students, as well as an adequate number of clinic pts. on which to develop these skills. Add to that input from groups like Pew, who only demean the lack of access to care by a demographic who breaks appointments at a 50% rate, even when it's free, rather than offer any real solutions. They'll give a state like FL and F grade but will not grade the truly biggest obstacle to a child's dental care- their parent (usually a single mother). The Kellogg's Foundation is another outside agitator who does even more harm, they criticize us but sell sugary cereals that are great at sticking to occlusal pits & fissures. To finish off our 3-legged stool of failure, let's add DHATs. Yes, these mid-level "providers" can do most of the services the dentists who graduate with staggering debt perform. When organized dentistry objects, the Frank Catalanotto solution is to blame the dental community. You see, we need to get down in the barrio or hood and do the work no dentist with $300.00-400,000 student loan debt can afford to do.

In addition, when we produce more and more new dentists with scant clinical experience and skills, it'll be far more difficult to call out the DHATs as less than dentists and an inferior tier of care. Eventually, the twain could meet, God forbid. In places like Cuba or the former USSR, that already happened, with dire consequences. So, who should be leading the fight to defeat this downward spiral? Gee, maybe our own ADA? But that's never gonna happen as long as it's an organization driven by a strong arm Executive Director who's surrounded by an intimidated BOT that dares not speak out, not if they ever wanna be ADA Pres. I'm pretty sure that's what derailed the last candidate for ADA Pres. we ran from FL. Will the third time be the charm? We are losing our profession! Either we fight these outside forces and deal with our own interior dysfunction, or we shall go the way of the AMA.
