marakaraDr. Jay Varma, New York City’s top doctor during the Pandemic who was attending sex parties while the City locked children out of parks in Brooklyn because they might actually play in the parks, has a Daily Beast article. Why I Shouldn’t Have Been Shamed for My Pandemic Sex Parties. He of course is blaming “a far-right honeytrap” for his problems.

Oh, this probably won’t make The View’s ‘Hot Topics’. Sunny Hostin’s husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Hostin, is one of almost 200 defendants named in an insurance fraud case in New York, one of the largest RICO cases ever filed in New York.
According to the suit, “Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries.” The “patients” were Uber and Lyft drivers who had American Transit as their insurance company. New York requires Uber/Lyft drivers to carry $200,000 worth of insurance. The insurance company was billed and “in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions.”

Cohen was diagnosed with MS in 1973. He battled colon cancer twice – in 1998 and in 2000. He knew the health field inside and out.

CBS has the AFC Championship Game in primetime this January. CBS will air the game and immediately after the game, will premiere Watson, the new Morris Chestnut series. After late local news, there will be a special Sunday edition of Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert has aired on Sundays four times in the past – always after Super Bowl games.
The primetime NFL Conference Championship Game every year (they bounce back between CBS and FOX) are usually the second highest rated TV event most seasons.
