Dr. Oz testified in a Senate subcommittee hearing and acknowledged that his backing of so-called "miracle" weight loss products have "provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers," Consumerist reported. OZ had a history of being a bit overly enthusiastic about some of the alternative and nontraditional treatments he’s highlighted, resulting in countless scammers cashing in on the questionable weight-loss treatments he’s described as “miracles,” like the green coffee extract that is the subject of an ongoing federal action.

Senator Clair McCaskill, Chair, grilled the talk show host in her opening remarks.   "I'm concerned that you are melding medical advice, news and entertainment in a way that harms consumers."

Oz admitted that his "cheerleading" of products that are often used as "crutches" has caused trouble for himself and the Federal Trade Commission, but he said he stands by his research.

"I do think I've made it more difficult for the FTC," Oz said. "In the intent to engage viewers, I use flowery language. I used language that was very passionate that ended up being not very helpful but incendiary and it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers."

Kintner, of Papillion, retweeted a comment mocked three women pictured with signs protesting Donald Trump's comments about touching women inappropriately. Above the photo, Elder wrote: "Ladies, I think you're safe."

Kintner's office later released a statement saying: " I was not implying support for putting women in fear of their personal safety. I took down the retweet as soon as I became aware that it was being misconstrued."

Nebraska Democratic Party chairwoman celebrated Kintner's announcement.

"The Women's March just took down their first politician. 

Some were bemused by his 2013 comment to a newspaper, which asked him what he considered the biggest mystery. Kintner responded, "Women. No one understands them. They don't even understand themselves."

He paid a $1,000 fine last year for misuse of state property, after he admitted to engaging in mutual masturbation in July 2015 with a woman using Skype, an online video-chatting service. Kintner reported the transgression to the Nebraska State Patrol after the woman threatened to expose the encounter unless he paid her $4,500.

AssUme...

A New Jersey dentist has been fined $1.1 million by the federal government for assuming the identity of a dead colleague and submitting fraudulent Medicaid bills after losing his license.

NJ.com reports that 58-year-old Roben Brookhim also accepted a 50-year exclusion from participating in any federal health care programs for masterminding the long billing scheme. Brookhim started billing the government under the name of deceased dentist John Kirkland Jr. after his own license was revoked in 2004.

He was convicted of falsifying health care records and spent nine months in prison in 2014. 
Brookhim's exclusion was one of the longest ever imposed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Hope Hicks...

She's a spokeswoman who rarely speaks. A political novice helping run one of the most rambunctious, unpredictable presidential campaigns in history. A former model who is almost never 
in front of a camera. In any other election year a 27­-year­-old who hadn't so much as volunteered on a political campaign would not be controlling communications in a presidential contest. But this isn't any other year.

Meet Hope Hicks, one of the unlikeliest breakout stars of the 2016 campaign. If proximity is power—and in presidential politics it is—Hicks is one of the most powerful people in America. When Donald Trump is on his luxury airplane, she's the one sitting next to him. 

An inspirational poster hangs above the Trump Tower desk of Hope Hicks, the 27-year-old press secretary for Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, squeezed in among the framed Time magazine covers of Mr. Trump and exuberant thank-you notes written in his inimitable scrawl (“Hopie — You’re the greatest!”).

Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself,” National Review’s cover story out Friday reads.

RNC spokesperson Sean Spicer confirmed that National Review will no longer be participating in next month's GOP debate. 

Trump says that the GOP is beginning to accept him. "I have received so many phone calls from people that you would call 'establishment,' from people generally speaking, conservative Republicans that want to come in our team,” Trump added.

And he may be right, as National Review publisher Jack Fowler wrote Thursday that his publication was being stripped of its hosting duties for a GOP debate with CNN in late February.

I think the National Review is staying in the Ideologies of the previous election. The 2016 election time, the Republicans want a different type of Leadership that can "Make America Great Again."
