I am going to take dead aim at those who continue to toss a horrible and offensive epithet at President Biden. It\u2019s the word \u201cdementia\u201d or some derivative of that term.<\/p>\n

The term sickens me. It should sicken anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one to any sort of neurological disorder that results in the loss of cognition. My family and I have suffered such a loss and when I hear dimwits hurl the \u201cdementia\u201d epithet at the president, my blood comes to a full boil.<\/p>\n

I hear it from some of my Facebook acquaintances. Those who read this post, therefore, can consider themselves put on notice. If I hear it from them from this moment forward, then I believe I will sever that \u201crelationship\u201d effective immediately.<\/p>\n

I also hear it from public officials. The most notable of them happens to be a member of Congress who represents a district where I once lived, in the Texas Panhandle. Republican Ronny Jackson, a one-time physician and naval officer, keeps hurling that term at the president. I don\u2019t know Jackson, but he makes me sick. He sickens me because as a physician, he should know better than to offer some form of \u201cdiagnosis\u201d from afar, without any insider knowledge of someone\u2019s health record.<\/p>\n

Yes, the president is the oldest man to hold the office. I have noted before on this blog that the president is on top of his game.<\/p>\n

I am just fed up to here with an epithet that is cruel beyond measure.<\/p>\n
