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.
What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
I am a Pennsylvania resident, and I will not vote for Dr. OZ. Most likely I will vote for Kathy Barnette. Heard her on Glenn Beck this morning and she seemed to debunk the charges against her and said the right things.

I agree with your assessment, JD. Jack Posobiec has gone through the scripts of 1600 hours of past interviews and he said there is not one position that Dr. Oz takes that would be considered conservative. Maybe Trump was enamored by Dr. Oz’s “TV personality” side… who knows. But what we all know is that Trump didn’t always pick the best to surround himself with. He’s human and makes mistakes, like we all do. But we do need to put the right people in office, not blindly follow ANYONE in what they say and do.
Trump’s endorsement caused more harm to him, Greg Kelly, Sean Hannity, Ric Grenell and Sean Parnell than it helped Oz. I have lost all respect for everyone mentioned.
All respect? That’s a zero tolerance policy. Why not allow people to make mistakes. Dr Oz is one of them. When he goes down in flames in the primary we can all move on.
Well because she is a mcconnell troll!
Greg Kelly did raise some interesting issues with her military service last night. I really like him and I respect his opinion being prior military like me, and an actual combat correspondent. I’m a fan of Barnett if only because she is shaking up the establishment. She was on Bannon’s show for a half an hour this afternoon and of course, like Oz, she says all of the right things. She has a couple of tweets and videos for history, Oz has thousands of hours of content he has to answer for.
One thing for sure PA has one heck of a choice this primary. I hope they get it right.
Well a loss by Oz is not what Vegas is saying. They are putting the money on OZ!!!! Vegas is almost never wrong!!!

Both Hannity and Grenell protests too much. Trump made his endorsement and Oz must make his case to the good people of PA. If Barnette sneaks in, then she must buildup to win the general with Trump’s endorsement. She has a compelling story in light of the SCOTUS brouhaha.
Kathy Barnette and Mehmet Oz have both said very unsavory things to question their party platform loyalty.
Barnette has impugned ‘white people’, ‘George Washington’, and Donald Trump prior to his victory in ’16. Dr. Oz has flipped on abortion, guns, and other issues, however, Trump made his health history public on his show in ’16 and Oz attracts independent women.
Which one can help Trump win in 2024 critical PA counties, Montgomery & Philly, that he lost in 2020?
Oz and his wife, Lisa (Asplundh) , can with her family’s rich and deep ties to both counties.
There is no perfect candidate here but sometimes The Buckley Rule Matters
Maybe Grenell / Hannity advised Trump in the first place and are saving their own skin. I think “ultra maga” populists beating the moderates and ultimately winning the general election is the best course. These are not radical lunatics at all. I’m a registered Dem. I can’t think of a single one I’d vote for. So who are these mythical Moderates/Dems that would vote for Oz?
NONE. N-O-N-E of this matters at all if they don’t fix the election system which allowed Brandon to be appointed in 2021, especially in PA!
Things are so far gone now that I don’t think even Trump can save us and he is the only one who could except for Desantis maybe. Does anyone think that the establishment RINOs or the deep state would allow either of those guys to win? HELL no.
It was a mistake for Trump to endorse Oz, but I (like most Trump supporters) have a brain and think for myself. We aren’t some democrat cult regardless of what people say.
Let me ask you (anyone)…Is there anyone in the entire world that you agree with 100 percent of the time? Nope.
Exactly!!
What’s the big deal? Trump endorsed someone and some people have a different opinion. As opposed to what the media says R’s don’t vote like robots.
‘California conservative’ is sorta like a Texas liberal. You are not helping conservatism. You are hurting it.
I heard Hannity today talking about how she cannot win a general election and that she is anti-Trump and pro-Obama. He said she has many anti-white rants and pro-Islam statements as well as recommending a statue of Obama next to Lincoln in DC. I do not know if any of it is true after Grenell went south.
Well a loss by Oz is not what Vegas is saying. They are putting the money on OZ!!!! Vegas is almost never wrong!!!
Hannity is trying to cover his own foolish recommendation of Oz to Trump. Kathy Barnette came across as much more genuine than Oz in their debate, and I would vote for her in a heartbeat. Hannity is more worried about his own reputation than he is about Pennsylvania or the Country. Oz is a fake, and his history is that of a liberal, not a conservative. Go Barnette!
The devil always comes across genuine. I don’t like either. I assume Oz can be controlled but Kathy will be able to revert to her obvious racism once the elected.
