‘Dr. Oz Show’ Taken Off the Air in NY and PA Due to Senate Run; Daphne Oz ‘The Good Dish’ to Fill Time Slot

In light of his announcement that he will be running as a republican senate candidate in the state of Pennsylvania, Dr Oz’s daytime talk and medical show, The Dr. Oz Show, is being taken off the air in key markets in New York and Pennsylvania, according to the Fox Station Group.

According to Deadline’s sources, Fox TV Stations proceeded with pulling the Sony Pictures TV-distributed syndicated series because of the prospect of being forced to give other political candidates running in Pennsylvania equal time, expressing that it “would be a nightmare for us, there was no way we were going to be able to do that.”

Trenton drama ends with Coughlin criticizing GOP, State Police

TRENTON — A chaotic scene unfolded in the Assembly on Thursday as Republican members who refused to comply with a new vaccine-or-test mandate staged a sit-in in the Assembly chambers, delaying the start of the first lame-duck voting session by two-and-a-half hours before Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin relented, gaveled it in and gave an angry speech.

“The only thing that was asked of the legislators here today to do was to show that they weren’t infected, to care about their colleagues and the people in the chamber,” Coughlin (D-Middlesex) said. ”I’m outraged. ... Twenty-eight members of the minority caucus could not be bothered to exhibit the decency or humanity, all to have a couple minutes on the TV news.”

Chuck Todd Blames Democrats For GOP Anti-Vax Agendas

NBC Meet the Press host Chuck Todd declined to criticize Republican governors with anti-vaccination agendas while he blamed Democratic President Joe Biden and his administration for not pushing vaccine mandates hard enough.

"I feel like they've been pretty reluctant to go back and put this front and center until this week when I think the Omicron variant made it impossible for them not to do it this way," Todd said during a promotion for Meet the Press. "What are they going to do to push back on anti-vaccine mandate pushback. There they have done -- they have not defended their vaccine mandate. It's a soft mandate. They've allowed sort of the right to dictate the messaging on that."

Perdue to primary Kemp in Georgia governor's race as Republicans and Trump wage war over 'big lie'

Just days after Democrat Stacey Abrams announced she was running for governor in her home state of Georgia, former Republican Sen. David Perdue declared Monday that he would mount a primary challenge against incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.

To face off against Abrams, Perdue, who lost his Senate seat to Democrat Jon Ossoff in a close January runoff election, must first defeat Kemp. In his campaign announcement video, Perdue blamed Kemp for his loss to Ossoff as well as for former President Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden.

Oh, this is rich. The GOP hero Marjorie Taylor Greene is at it again:
Greene made the remarks during a press conference that unveiled a Republican-back report on the January 6 defendants who are currently housed at the D.C. Jail. The event also featured Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ).

When she was asked about nationwide criminal justice reform, Greene argued that Nation of Islam literature should not be available in jails.

"Or information and curriculum that informs them because of the color of their skin, this is why they are being treated this way," the Georgia Republican said. "As far as the difference in the jail though, it's very clear, the Jan. 6 defendants, they were not allowed to participate in any of the continuing education curriculums that we were shown that other inmates and other pre-trial defendants are allowed to participate in."

"None of those things were offered for the Jan. 6 defendants," she continued. "They were isolated in a separate wing of the jail, where they are abused, where they are ridiculed, where they are mocked because of their political beliefs and because of Jan. 6 and because of the color of their skin."
I guess it's only bad when you are mocked for having brown skin. After all, if you're white, everyone's supposed to worship you, right?

Sigh. That massive genius MTG wailed about why we don't shut down our country over 600,000 ppl. dying from cancer.

Um, that hits close to home, as lung cancer got my Mom. But that said, while cancer is indeed a scourge of our people, it is also not a communicable disease, making that very question possibly one of the most idiotic she's ever posed, and that's saying something.

BTW, though, cancer can make you more vulnerable to communicable diseases (not just COVID), which is why, as I've said, when I went to visit Mom in the hospital, I was always asked to wear a mask. It was not a surgical N95 mask, they don't give those to anyone other than physicians. It was the same cloth one commonly available at CVS and Walgreen's.

My point being - as I've noted several times - it was considered sufficient to protect patients in the ward by the hospital. I think they know something about what is effective in prevention.

These conservative whites were so disappointed to find out the gay cancer wasn't really going to catch on and kill off all the gays via cancer.

But yes, they are very content for anyone immunocompromised to be offed, including their own who have had cancer treatments.

Time for people to get real about just how these sociopathic conservative white elitists and general mainstream conservatives really feel about everyone else.

Q-Publican Party Chair Blames President Biden For Burning of Fucked SNews Christmas Tree.

https://abc7ny.com/fox-news-christmas-t ... /11310845/.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A large Christmas tree outside Fox's Midtown headquarters was set ablaze early Wednesday by an arsonist who was quickly taken into custody.

The 50-foot tree on Sixth Avenue went up in flames just before 12:15 a.m., and heavy flames then spread to smaller decorated trees in the display.

Police say the 49-year-old suspect climbed up "the metal superstructure" -- the tree is an artificial sculpture that is shaped to look like a tree -- lit papers he brought with him on fire, and shoved the papers into the tree structure.

He then climbed down and watched from the street level as it burned, and he was spotted by building security who pointed the man out to police officers posted in nearby Rockefeller Center.

The Network that is ground zero for the "War on Christmas" cannot even put a real Christmas Tree.
Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.

Georgia Republicans purge Black Democrats from county election boards

GRIFFIN, Georgia, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Protesters filled the meeting room of the Spalding County Board of Elections in October, upset that the board had disallowed early voting on Sundays for the Nov. 2 municipal election. A year ago, Sunday voting had been instrumental in boosting turnout of Black voters.

But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the last election. The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black elections supervisor.

Flight attendant goes 'Karen,' demands pilot kick Black mother holding newborn from flight


American Airlines messed with the wrong Black people Sunday, leaving the company with a lawsuit, an inevitably (and rightfully) costly settlement, and some extremely nasty press.

Allan Ali and his partner, Kamia Hoilett, along with their seven-week-old baby, were forced off a Philidelphia-bound flight from Charlotte, North Carolina, after a white passenger and a flight attendant got into a verbal altercation with the family.

Suit yourself snowflakes

Republicans in Texas county to administer their own 2022 primary, despite officials’ warnings

The Potter County Republican Party plans to conduct its own election during the Texas primary on March 1, independent of the county election administration. People voting in Republican races on Election Day will cast hand-marked ballots that will be hand counted, which the party believes to be more secure. Experts say the move will introduce a higher risk of fraud, confuse voters, and likely result in legal challenges.

“This introduces a lot of potential mistakes and it also introduces opportunities for fraud,” said Christina Adkins, the legal director of the Texas Secretary of State’s elections division. “The candidates on this ballot really need to think about whether this is how they want their election run.”

What happens when two republican officials disagree on whether Biden beat Trump? The MAGA Trumphumper slaps the one who accepts the election results.
On Friday, the Post and Courier reported that a prominent Republican official in Lexington County, South Carolina has been charged with assault for an altercation with a West Columbia city councilman at a Christmas party.

"Angus Godwin, 51, a member of Lexington County GOP’s executive committee, was charged with third-degree assault and battery for striking West Columbia Councilman Mike Green, according to an incident report from the Lexington Police Department," reported Casey Darnell. "Green told Post and Courier Columbia he was slapped in the face during the county GOP’s Christmas Party on Dec. 6 at the O’Hara’s Public House restaurant in the town of Lexington. Godwin and Green were on opposite sides of a West Columbia election this fall."

"Godwin’s alleged assault on Green was the culmination of a months-long feud within the party over what other members see as Green’s insufficient support of former President Donald Trump, Green said," the report continued. "The Lexington County GOP passed a resolution in October calling on the state Legislature to conduct an audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Lexington County, where Trump won by a wide margin. Green voted for Trump but accepts President Joe Biden as the country’s legitimately elected leader, a position that has angered the more hardline Trump supporters in the party, he said."

What Manchin wanted, rejected and got in Biden's $2T bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — During a private meeting in July, Sen. Joe Manchin and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sat down to negotiate what exactly it would take for Democrats to unlock Manchin's vote to start the process of considering President Joe Biden’s massive social and environmental bill.

What emerged was a one-page document, unformatted, where the West Virginia Democrat laid out his views. Both signed it, with reservations.

GOP maps Biden probes, prelude to 2024 culture war

House Republicans have begun mapping aggressive probes of the Biden administration if they win back the majority — including inquiries into the origins of COVID, a leak of IRS data about billionaires, and accusations the NSA spied on Tucker Carlson.

Why it matters: The plans, obtained exclusively by Axios, show House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy would make muscular use of majority powers for the last two years of President Biden's term if, as expected, the GOP wins the majority in next year's midterms.

Except the 2T bill was actually going to cost 5T. Biden tried to pull the same political deal that Obama got away with....remember the Cadillac tax.
The original costs included the Cadillac tax which was going to kick in down the road. Even though we all knew that was never going to happen and of course it didn't.
Now the new football for us to kick is no it's only going to cost 5T if it's made permanent this Bill is only temporary.
Not even the most naive among us believe that bs.
Joe Manchin is a great American and just saved not only our country from economic ruin but probably saved the democratic party as well.
