In what can only be described as a victory for integrity and the triumph of truth, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat’s nomination for U.S. Surgeon General is no more. President Trump, ever the vigilant leader, pulled back from this risky appointment right in the nick of time. With the kind of credentials that belong more in a fictional drama than in the halls of American power, Dr. Nesheiwat became a lightning rod of controversy. From a questionable educational background to an unfolding medical malpractice lawsuit, it’s astonishing that she got as far as she did in this process.
The media tries to sweep such issues under the rug, but their cries always seem to fall short. Thanks to sharp-eyed watchdogs in the conservative sphere, like independent journalist Laura Loomer, Nesheiwat’s mishaps saw the light of day. Loomer’s criticism was spot-on, unveiling Nesheiwat’s troubling past with alleged malpractice and ill-advised policies. And let’s not forget those dubious claims of being a double board-certified physician. When it comes to leading the country’s health initiatives, the bar must be set high—not average.
Enter Dr. Casey Means, who brings a refreshing change with genuine excellence and no baggage to drag her down. Tied to none other than a top advisor for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Means stands poised to make America healthy again. There couldn’t be a more suitable time for this shift as Trump’s administration continues its fight against the chronic disease epidemic. It’s a pivotal moment for America’s health, and with the leadership of Dr. Means, a new dawn is settling over our nation’s healthcare.
Meanwhile, those who advocate for weak nominees with murky backgrounds would do well to reassess their priorities. America deserves leaders who reflect our values of authenticity and competence, not those with one foot in a scam. If Democrats are as serious about healthcare as their loud protests suggest, they should applaud this decision instead of looking for ghosts that aren’t there. But do they really want what’s best for America or just what feeds their narrative? That’s a question for the ages.
