Fetterman...

...but that isnt whats wrong with him. He said it himself. He said that he thought the words on the screen were mixed around and had misspellings. They werent, as was corroborated by the people who bent over backwards to make sure that everything was perfect. He is severely compromised.

Also, deaf people shouldnt hold seats in positions like these. Sorry, but this job isnt for everyone. You need to perform at a high standard. They are too important.

None of which did we know prior to the debate which is when I made that post.

So you agree now that he is completely unqualified to hold that position? If so, i commend your integrity.

Please provide us with some specific reasons you believe that Dr. Oz is horrible.

he's nothing but a slick snake oil salesman. no wonder donny endorsed him.

What’s Wrong With Dr. Oz?​

...During another show, Oz interviewed Dr. Mosaraf Ali, the miracle healer to Sylvester Stallone, Prince Charles of England, and others, regarding his use of iridology. According to this widely debunked, bizarre belief, each part of the iris corresponds to a specific area of the body, and a person’s state of health can be diagnosed by examining particular regions of the iris.4 After expressing his amazement at Dr. Ali’s diagnostic abilities, Oz stated, “I want to applaud Doctor Mosaraf Ali because these are ancient traditions and they have been around for centuries so who am I to dismiss them?”5

Who? Oz is a trained clinician and scientist, someone who can read a scientific article with a critical eye. He is someone who can filter out the noise of the placebo effect or discern the simple carnival tricks of a charlatan. The problem is that most people in his audience cannot.

Some observers of this spectacle have had enough. In 2013, Forbes magazine published a list of Oz’s “Five Wackiest Medical Beliefs.”2

In an influential 2013 article for The New Yorker, Michael Specter asked rhetorically, “Is the most trusted doctor in America doing more harm than good?”6

In 2014, a Senate subcommittee grilled Oz regarding his unfounded claims about miraculous dietary supplements.7 Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, demonstrating some Show Me State bluntness, scolded Oz: “I don’t know why you need to say this stuff, because you know it’s not true. Why—when you have this amazing megaphone and this amazing ability to communicate—would you cheapen your show by saying things like that?”7 On April 15, 2015, ten prominent physicians sent a letter to Columbia University calling Oz’s faculty position there unacceptable and citing his “egregious lack of integrity.”8

Although the scientific community has turned against Oz, the unfortunate reality is that he is perceived as a scientific authority by millions of people who receive their relationship advice from Dr. Phil and, presumably, their time-travelling advice from Dr. Who.

Simply put, Oz is an entertainer. Many believe he is doing great harm by preventing or delaying proper diagnosis, providing false hope, and encouraging people to waste money on useless treatments. As far as I am concerned, the wackier he gets, the easier it is to logically debunk his claims.

...But during the show’s run from 2009 to 2021, Oz provided a platform for potentially dangerous products and fringe viewpoints, aimed at millions of viewers, according to medical experts, public health organizations and federal health guidance. Among the treatments that Oz promoted were HCG, garcinia cambogia — an herbal weight-loss product the FDA has said can cause liver damage — and selenium — a trace mineral needed for normal body functioning — for cancer prevention.
“He spouts unproven treatments for things and supposed ways to maintain and regain health,” said Henry I. Miller, one of 10 physicians who in 2015 tried to have Oz removed from the faculty at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Miller described Oz, in his view, as someone who has been an advocate of “quack cures.”

Not that it was very good before the stroke.

Levi’s Jeans and Braddock, PA​

Levi’s, the deeply red, white & blue jeans company, is reinventing what the modern-day American pioneer looks like. In their recent ad series, their ”go forth to work″ mantra now applies to making crumbling, dilapidated US cities such as Braddock, Pennsylvania live and breathe again.

...Levi’s is bringing attention to the town of Braddock. Not that the town’s mayor, John Fetterman, hasn’t been doing his fare share of re-popularizing the once-prosperous city.
Armed with a graduate degree from Harvard University, Fetterman has spent the last few years as Braddock’s mayor, promoting the revitalization of the first Carnegie Library in the country, the creation of a youth center and the thriving community gardens that have been built over abandoned lots.

...With an abandoned business sector, “Mayor John” is encouraging entrepreneurs to call the city home and create jobs. People like Fossil Free Fuel heeded the call, and have moved their automobile biofuels business to Braddock (they have recently announced a spin-off company, Optimus Technologies, that will also be based in Braddock). It is also hoped that the extremely low-cost real estate will also draw more residents and commercial enterprises to Braddock. New resident Joel Rice moved his furniture business here from Portland, Oregon and bought a huge warehouse for only $70,000.

...The Levi’s commercials have helped bring national attention to the situation in Braddock, and the company has invested $1.5 million dollars in the building of the youth center and maintenance of the library and community gardens.

You’re in the cult, buddy.

You are literally sitting here shilling for a braindead clot shot stroke victim and claiming he is mentally fit.

He is dumber than a box of rocks. But you propagandists have to pretend otherwise. I suppose at this point it isn’t difficult for you to believe the nonsense you are spewing. I am willing to bet that you also believe in “trans rights” and believe people can change genders.

LOL!!!!! you literally have an avatar with donny's picture.

you are dismissed.

Well. I suppose we could start with his double talkin jive about being pro 2nd Amendment.

From his campaign web site...

''As a proud gun-owner, Dr. Oz is a firm believer in the Second Amendment and our constitutional right to bear arms for protection. He opposes anti-gun measures like red flag laws and liberal gun grabs. Dr. Oz knows we cannot compromise our ability to protect ourselves.

Dr. Oz believes every law-abiding American citizen should be allowed to buy the gun of their desire...''

SECOND AMENDMENT - Dr. Oz for Senate

Dr. Oz is a proud gun owner and will fight back at any attempts to restrict law-abiding gun owners of their constitutional rights.

doctoroz.com

From his pre-campaign op-eds, however....

''Reinstitute the assault rifle ban: A national assault weapons ban was signed into law in 1994. It was allowed to expire 10 years later. Since then, approximately 1.3 million assault rifles have been sold each year, along with 8 to 15 billion rounds of ammunition.

The good news is that since the ban expired, on a state-by-state basis, registrations, background checks and progress in licensing have reduced assault-style rifle access for people with criminal records (such as domestic abuse). But national legislation would be good.

Here's more good news: The will of the people is beginning to be heard. Of U.S. voters, 70% support banning high-capacity magazines and 68% support banning all assault-style weapons. Background checks on all gun sales are favored by 88% (69% of NRA members, too!), and 78% favor creating a national database with information about each gun sale. Seventy-eight percent of voters support a mandatory waiting period of three days after a gun purchase before it can be taken home.

''Let's all work together to stop this waste of lives and resources. The New Zealand parliament managed to pass legislation banning most semi-automatic and military-style weapons complete with a buy-back program, in just nine days after a mass shooting that killed 51 at two mosques in Christchurch. Their hope is to get as many of these assault weapons off their streets ASAP. Can we?''

The United States just passed the 17-year mark in the longest war in its history: the Afghanistan War. Eleven soldiers were killed there in 2017. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during that same time 39,773 people were killed by guns (homicides and suicides) here in...

About that New Zealand gun ban that Oz referenced in support of his anti-liberty position...

New Zealand Ban on Most Semiautomatic Weapons Takes Effect (Published 2019)

The law, passed after the Christchurch massacre in March, outlaws military-style semiautomatic weapons and assault rifles. It will be enforced as a gun buyback and amnesty program ends amid debate.

And Mayor John still has brain damage.
