Team behind 'Dr. Oz' show 'evaluating options' after host launches Senate bid
The future of "Dr. Oz" is unclear, as the team behind the TV show is said to be "evaluating options" following the launch of its host's Senate bid.

Mehmet Oz, who's been the face of his eponymous daytime TV program since 2009, announced he was jumping into the Pennsylvania Senate race as a Republican on Tuesday.

The celebrity physician said he was entering the 2022 race to succeed retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) in order to "help fix the problems and to help us heal."
Oz didn't address what was to become of the TV series that helped launch him to fame following frequent appearances on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

A source close to "Dr. Oz" tells ITK that those at the show are "evaluating options and discussing plans" with broadcast partners "on how to move forward."

The controversial Emmy Award winner's program is distributed to more than 112 countries, according to a promotional site. Last year, 61-year-old Oz announced that his show had been renewed for a 13th and 14th season, through 2023.

On a personal note, my mother called me and said there was a guy on the show who was addicted to the stuff I am using (marijuana for medical purposes) and the good Dr. is sending him for treatment.

He has always gave me the creeps. I hear his ethics are lacking. He promotes companies that he owns a stake in without letting his audience know.

Pence-linked group launches $800K ad campaign in West Virginia praising Manchin
A conservative group run by Marc Short, who served as former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, is set to launch an ad campaign to encourage Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) to oppose the $1.7 trillion social spending and climate package in an attempt to stop it from being passed.

The Coalition to Protect American Workers is set to launch an ad campaign worth nearly $800,000 this week in West Virginia. According to NBC News, the ads will air over two weeks and will reiterate issues that Manchin has raised about the social spending package in the past.

"Families are worried yet Biden picks right now to try and raise taxes on hard-working West Virginia families while giving huge tax cuts to millionaires," one of the ads state. "Fortunately Joe Manchin's got our backs. He understands the importance of putting West Virginia people ahead of Washington politics. Tell Manchin keep fighting for us."

The House passed the Build Back Better Act earlier in November after months of negotiations between progressive and centrist Democratic lawmakers.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said this week that he is aiming to bring the social spending package up for a vote before Christmas. Sources close to the matter told The Hill on Tuesday that Schumer is planning on bringing the bill up for a vote as soon as Dec. 13.

Manchin made his opposition to higher spending well known throughout the negotiations, at one point saying he would not support any bill costing more than $1.5 trillion. The package was scaled back from $3.5 trillion in part because of his objections.

Regarding the ad campaign targeting Manchin, Short told NBC News in a statement, "President Biden’s policies are far beyond the mainstream and Sen. Manchin is holding the line," adding that Manchin "deserves thanks for representing the interests of West Virginia families by slowing reckless spending and massive tax increases.”

From the first I saw him, and only because some one else had it on, I found him to be someone I would rather not know. Put in polite terms.
Yea, I don't really do TV other than FSU hoops and F1. But my boss keeps hers on for noise, and I go in at 1300 these days, so it is on in her office once in a while

Mace fires back at Greene: 'Bat---- crazy'
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) shot back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Tuesday after Greene called her "trash," responding by using emojis to call her fellow first-term Republican congresswoman "batshit crazy."

Mace was responding to Green's Tuesday morning tweet that accused her of being a "RINO," or Republican in name only, after Mace condemned Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) for making anti-Muslim remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Mace "is the trash in the GOP Conference," Greene tweeted. "Never attacked by Democrats or RINO’s (same thing) because she is not conservative, she’s pro-abort. Mace you can back up off of @laurenboebert or just go hang with your real gal pals, the Jihad Squad. Your out of your league."

While appearing on CNN, Mace had commented on the ongoing feud between Boebert and Omar that was sparked after Boebert joked about Omar, who is Muslim, being a terrorist. Mace denounced the incident as an example of "racist tropes and remarks" that have been made on both sides of the aisle.

About one hour after Greene posted her criticism, Mace retweeted her and wrote Greene's words were an example of "batshit crazy," replacing her words with the bat, poop and clown emoji.

Mace further defended herself from Greene's accusations of not being conservative enough, writing that she is "a pro-life fiscal conservative who was attacked by the Left all weekend." She went on to point out that Greene's accusations of her being "pro-abort" appear to stem from her support for abortion ban exceptions for rape and incest.

Mace is a rape survivor herself and wrote she was "beyond disgusted" that Greene appeared to be using this information to attack a fellow Republican lawmaker.

Greene later tweeted on Tuesday that she had spoken about Mace with former President Trump.

Mace responded by writing "I like my freshman colleagues who don’t think 9/11 was a hoax" and using the peanut emoji to describe Greene. She went on to describe Greene's phone call with Trump as her running to "tattletale" because she "can’t stand on her own two feet."

The reason I started this thread was to document the feud inside the GOP. Glad to see they are giving us lots of material to keep it going.

It would really make my day if it became a fad to show boebert your dong. Just every time she has an event, buncha dudes show up in the front row and whip it out. Feel free to cat call her while at it. "Aye aye...heard this gets your motor running" says the man with a handlebar mustache as he performs the helicopter dick spin while pulling on the ends of said mustache.

And this is what I have been seeing for the past 4-5 years on Newsmax, forget about working things out with the other side, there is no compromise to be had as the other side is evil trying to ruin the country. No, it is not a bunch of socks, these people are warped. (just had a chance to see the clip).

Oz is a full on con man propagandist.

If Oprah never came out hard against this scam artist, she needs to step up and do so if he is nominated.

This for some reason triggered this song in my brain.


Might be time for a remake.

Trump tested positive for COVID-19 days before debate with Biden: Meadows book
In "The Chief’s Chief," Meadows writes that although Trump was aware that in order to participate in the debate each candidate had to “to test negative for the virus within seventy two hours of the start time ... Nothing was going to stop [Trump] from going out there," The Guardian, which obtained a copy of the book, reported.

Shortly after getting the positive result, Trump reportedly tested again and received a negative result.

According to Meadows, Trump’s initial positive test on Sept. 26, 2020, shocked the White House. He recalled the White House doctor calling as Trump was scheduled to take off on Marine One, according to The Guardian.

“Stop the president from leaving,” Meadows says Sean Conley told him. “He just tested positive for Covid.”

Meadows later reportedly added that the former president's reply to the news “rhyme[d] with ‘Oh spit, you’ve gotta be trucking lidding me.’ ”

It was determined at that time that the positive test came from an old model kit and Trump would be tested again using “the Binax system," Meadows said, according to The Guardian.

"We were hoping the first test was a false positive," he added.

Meadows recalled calling the president back with the news of the negative test, which he said Trump took as “full permission to press on as if nothing had happened," the news outlet noted.

The former chief of staff reportedly said, however, that he still “instructed everyone in his immediate circle to treat him as if he was positive” throughout a scheduled trip to Pennsylvania.

“I didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks,” Meadows writes, “but I also didn’t want to alarm the public if there was nothing to worry about — which according to the new, much more accurate test, there was not.”

It was not until Oct. 2, days after the debate with Biden, that Trump announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and he went to the hospital later that day.

I was wondering when the inner Trumpians would start getting their books out.

I think Trump knew he was infected and hoped to give it to Biden at the debate to bump him off, he ended up in the hospital days after FFS. Meadows isn't telling the whole truth or doesn't know it, Trump looked febrile during the debate.

Trump blasts Mark Meadows’ claim that he contracted Covid before debate – after praising Meadows’ book
Former president Donald Trump denied a report in his former chief of staff’s new book that he had tested positive for Covid-19 before his first debate with Joe Biden last year, despite previously praising his top aide’s book.

“The story of me having COVID prior to, or during, the first debate is Fake News,” he said in a statement. “In fact, a test revealed that I did not have COVID prior to the debate.”

The statement comes after The Guardian reported an excerpt from Mark Meadows’ book The Chief’s Chief that a White House doctor tried to stop Mr Trump from going to a rally in Pennsylvania when they learned he had tested positive for Covid-19. Mr Trump was indeed given another test with a more up-to-date kit that showed he was negative.

Mr Trump’s words also come after he had previously praised Mr Meadows’s book and urged his supporters to pre-order it.

“If you want to learn about politics, truth, our great administration, and exciting achievements that took place in government, pre-order your copy now,” he said. “Seriously, it’s a fantastic book, and Mark Meadows and his wonderful wife Debbie are great people.”
