Ben Carson

Ben Carson, born in Detroit, Michigan, rose to prominence as a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, pioneering techniques that literally separated children joined at the head. A feat so remarkable, it often makes one wonder if he could also separate common sense from political rhetoric, though that's a different kind of surgery altogether.

After a distinguished medical career, Carson transitioned into politics, serving as the 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President Donald Trump. His tenure was marked by a general lack of experience in housing policy, frequent gaffes, and a penchant for buying expensive furniture for his office, leading many to question if his administrative skills matched his surgical precision.

Religiously, Carson is a devout Seventh-day Adventist, a Christian denomination. There is no evidence of Jewish ancestry or identification, placing him firmly in the 'not a Jew' category, unless one counts the miraculous surgical feats which, while impressive, don't exactly qualify one for a bar mitzvah.
