It’s unfortunate that I got too busy to post this yesterday while it was still fresh on the mind. I did my live show at Red State Talk Radio and normally I get the podcast up within a few hours. But yesterday was a whirlwind of interviews and discussions, so I didn’t get to write up this article or post the podcast until Thursday.
For a recap, former acting-DNI Ric Grenell went on the warpath yesterday by posting blatantly false information about America First candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania Kathy Barnette. I came to the conclusion after looking at his and other attacks from people I generally like and admire that they’re coming to the defense of Donald Trump and his endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Losing in the primary would be a poor loss for the television doctor, but it would be devastating for Trump. The press will eat him alive, hammering for days or even weeks how Trump has lost power in the Republican Party and Dr. Oz losing would be their proof. It’s not true, at least the part about Trump losing power. He backed the wrong candidate, a Democrat pretending to be a Republican who is backed by the GOP Establishment and the globalist elites.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Grenell and others have come to his rescue, throwing out blatant lies in an effort to smear her at the last moment. Until a couple of weeks ago, she wasn’t even a factor in the race. Fellow globalist RINO David McCormick and Dr. Oz were spending a lot of money attacking each other and Barnette snuck in the back door to surge to a three-way tie. The RINOs and Trump allies joined forces to try to take her down at the last minute. Sean Hannity, a Dr. Oz supporter who some believe is the reason Trump backed the candidate in the first place, went scorched earth on her during his show Wednesday night.
As I said in the article yesterday, I do still like Grenell and others who are on the wrong side of this issue. It’s disheartening but not entirely unexpected when we look at the big picture. Whether it was ill-advised or not to back Dr. Oz, that’s the card that Trump selected and many of his allies are backing his play. The way they look at it, one more RINO in the Senate is a worthy price to pay if it will solidify Trump’s status as the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. If Dr. Oz loses in the primary, Trump will get roasted by both the GOP Establishment and the press.
I don’t want that to happen, but I refuse to back Trump’s bad choices. I did not support Mitt Romney just because Trump said so. I did not believe Rex Tillerson, H.R. McMaster, John Bolton, Omarosa, Anthony Scaramucci, Reince Priebus, Jeff Session, or Mike Pence were good for the country just because Trump said so. As an America First movement, we cannot blindly follow what Trump or anyone else says just because they say it. We must stand for what’s best for the country, and that’s Kathy Barnette.
On the next episode, I will be debunking why the latest rumor that Barnette cannot win the general election is unambiguously false. You can catch it at Red State at 2pm Eastern or wait for the replay on The Midnight Sentinel.
Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
Trump is a f’n loser. His own daughter is a WEF ‘Young Global Leader’. He continues to call himself the father of the vaccine. He calls the development of the vaccine the highest achievement in the history of the world. He says that he’s never done anything wrong, so he’s never had to ask for forgiveness. A God complex on full and open display. Regarding Grenell…appoint perverts…get perverted results.
We need to leave Trump behind. He did do some good, but the long list of LOSERS he surrounded himself with, and the wretched “father of the vaccine” crap is just too much to take. We need to focus on other America First candidates and leave him to the golf course.
JD, right on point as always. So true. Folks always talk of voting for the lesser of 2 evils but evil is evil. We have to reject the likes of mcconnell, graham, collins, mittens, oz et al. I did believe in grenell, this is so sad to lose him to the dark side. Thank you for standing while others grovel. Love your take on things and your brilliant articles.
Oz, nursed on Oprah’s tit for decades… A RINO, through and through.
A note to all wise persons who post videos online: Have a clock in view of the camera behind you or next to you. An analog clock with a sweep second hand is best. Also have a friend or ally video the interview to maintain an independent record of what was said, and in what order. (also good advice for politicos getting interviewed – avoid the editing trap as Trump did vs CBS 60 Minutes)
Trump should change his endorsement immediately. The base will love it and she’ll get even more votes.
If Dr. Oz loses in the primary, Trump will get roasted by both the GOP Establishment and the press…
He is always going to be a target and last I read he was 55-1 on his picks!
I highly doubt it will affect Trump much.
The News Media won’t be able to say much other than that another “moderate” Republican lost to an America First candidate again.
All they will be able to say is… ummm Trump Supporters beat Trump. Not something they want to admit to as it will pretty much be an open admission that its Trump Supporters that drive Trump… not the other way around.
Their whole narrative is that Trump is some kind of hypnotic nazi leader who mind controls people… which obviously is and was out of touch with reality in the first place.
OZ stay to your BS story’s on the Hollywood bibles on the grocery store racks!
Many of the 55 were unopossed candidates.
He needs to stop repeating the mistake of listening to Javanka, Hannity and others who have led him down the wrong path from day one. WHy did he diss those who got him to the WH immediately, like Lewandowsi, Gorka to name a coupe. They have never bad mouthed him and have stood by him, yet he never pays attention to them and others who have his back.
