With eight days to go before the republican primary in Pennsylvania, ultra-MAGA candidate Kathy Barnette is surging. In a recent republican-leaning Trafalgar Poll {SEE DATA HERE} Barnette has shot to second place with 23.2%, only 1% behind Dr. Mehmet Oz who is at 24.5%.
President Trump has endorsed Dr. Oz, however, a considerable number of people in the grassroots MAGA base do not trust Oz, view David McCormick as an establishment candidate, and they are going strong with support for Kathy Barnette {WEBSITE HERE}.
A victory is within reach for the candidate who says “Now more than ever, America requires strong, authentic Republican voices to stand up and defend the U.S. Constitution and the rights we hold dear. I will be that voice — for Pennsylvania and our great nation.”
After winning the Pennsylvania straw poll in April, Barnette has continued to gain momentum and increased attention.
Ballotpedia: “Barnette worked as a political commentator and in corporate finance after serving in the United States Army Reserves. Barnette identifies herself as an America First candidate, a term often associated with the platform of Trump and candidates who say they support Trump’s agenda. In response to Trump’s endorsement of Oz, Barnette said, “MAGA does not belong to President Trump . . . although he coined the word, it belongs to the people. Our values never shifted to President Trump’s values. It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values.” (link)
I'm sure you've seen the latest Trafalgar poll!
THANK YOU, PENNSYLVANIA!
Twelve months have come down to the next eight days.
We still need more ads out there – TV buys, radio ads. We're leaving nothing on the table!
Donate to our campaign & let's win: https://t.co/eulN0KQirA pic.twitter.com/bP6IgPQSKI

PA please vote for her!!!
Wikipedia just deleted Kathy Barnette’s Wikipedia Page! That’s what you’re up against.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Barnette
You know she’s over the target!
I think Kathy Barnette is the target!
Good. That means she’s winning.
She might win the primary but she won’t win the general election because the big money donors won’t throw away millions of dollars on a gamble. They want a sure thing!
The Big money donors won’t support her, but NOT for why you say.
The Big money donors, are the $ behind the Rino, GOPe that are being threatened by US; THEY are the enemy.
Also, $ DOES NOT always detirmine election outcomes. Particularly when a Populist candidate goes up against a career politician, Uniparty hack.
PDJT spent FAR less, on his 2016 campaign, than Hillary, had around 100 total paid staffers,…Hillary had 10,000.
And this was NOT the only time a candidate with less $, but a sound message had overcome a candidate with more $, but a message that sucks.
I hope she wins, and I know PDJT LEARNS from experience.
I’ll do my best to multiply my vote through as many friends and family as possible. Another donation on the way also. If others can help with the financial end, we PA treepers will do our best to bring in the votes. She’s the real deal.
I am curious how many people here, especially those of us outside of Pennsylvania, have checked out the websites of both Kathy Barnette and Dr. Oz. If you have, what are your thoughts on their positions on the issues? Do you have a strong sense on what they would work on in the Senate? Do you feel they have explained what they really want to do to help the people of Pennsylvania?
If you are a Pennsylvania resident I would love to hear some of your reasons for supporting either candidate. The Barnette video above is very moving and inspirational, but it left me with too many questions and no answers.
i was giving oz the benefit of the doubt and hoped his conversions were true, because mccormick is china inc. but when barnette spoke she blew them out of the water. and when she tied them both to the world economic forum, they were toast. she is a gem.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/epic-pa-senate-candidate-steals-the-show-at-debate/
Her knowledge of the evil WEF is a BIG positive!
Could you imagine a candidate for the Senate in WWII NOT calling out Hitler?!
Too few know who our enemies are, know who the Demoncrats and Greedy Old Possums serve and enable, Ultra MAGA not only knows, she calls them out!
And she doesn’t hesitate to say it out loud and on Facebook too.
A strong woman is better than a weak man… any day!
I was not happy with the Trump OZ pick, and neither were two women I talked to about OZ.
Her comments on abortion are strong – go watch her interview on RAV this afternoon.
Republicans need to deemphasize the social issues and concentrate on the economic issues. It’s a winner every time. Abortion is a loser issue, sad to say, because a majority of young Republicans are pro abortion to at least some number of weeks. And they will vote that issue, for some bizarre reason, more than an economic issue. I’ve never understood it.
I don’t know anything about her..Many look good and sound good..but I don’t live in Pa..If I did live in Pa I would make sure it was more than just..looking good an sounding good..My gosh..GW Bush..was always putting himself across as a friend of the people..and a good ole boy..he was everything but that..Globalist..!!!
If your on social media, Jack Posobiec has been posting videos of her. Check it out. If I live in PA I would definitely vote for her. 🙏
Yes. I was so hoodwinked before Trump. Trump opened my eyes!
Thank you! This is the type of info I was hoping to hear from others. You are right, WEF is a huge red flag.
Oz, Federman or Conor Lamb?
McCormick, Oz or Federman?
God please help Pennsylvania!
We need Divine help. Seriously, please pray for us here in PA.
Conman Lamb was another who came from behind with a massive surge-while no one was supposedly counting.
With all respect, she talks for a living so would be expected to articulate a compelling picture for why one should vote for her. I am with CalSteno. Sensing a lot of emotion on this thread and others like it, I wonder why so few are talking real stated policies.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/epic-pa-senate-candidate-steals-the-show-at-debate/
I don’t look at a candidate’s positions. Most of them tell you what you want to hear.
Oz’ claim to fame was in association with Oprah. That’s all I need to know about him. Everything that has come out about him reinforces that perception.
Kathy is MAGA. If she knows about WEF, its likely real. Could be an imposter, (Willard, Toomey, etc), but I’ll take my chances with her above Oz any day.
Ditto.
If she’s faking it, she’ll be the first to pull it off. Most eGOP types sound like they read about MAGA in an NPR press release.
She seems authentic. I’ve been following her on Facebook since before anybody knew about her.
I do not think RINO can succesfully fake being America First.
I THINK their toungue would cleve to the roof of their mouth, before they would;
MENTION WEF.
Say anything questioning the 2020 steal.
Critisise mandates
Call for an end to McConnells 30+ year reign.
Call for Nationwide School choice for all students/parents.
Call for end of Rowe.
Granted, I COULD be wrong, they certainly have had no problem lieing to us in the past, about being for fiscal discipline, lower taxes and smaller government.
We DO have an army of America First candidates rising up, and challenging the RINOS in School Boards, County Election boards, Mayors, State Legislatures, Governors and for Congress.
The GOPe IS fighting them, but they are not winning.
They are blocking, and they are fumbling and making forced errors,..and not actually gaining yardage.
I am optimistic…
“Oz’ claim to fame was in association with Oprah”
When I think of Oprah and “OZ” together , I think of Potato chips.
Oprah eats too much.
I think Oz is a good teacher for healthy diets and vaccine mandates..
Never forget about the Democrats’ use of vaccine mandates to kill the economy and our children.
Oz is not afraid to stop the Dems ‘ use of covid to mask our children..
Without COVID the DEMs would have no EMERGENCY powers!!!
What’s not to love? She’s pro-life, pro-gun and pro USA. If only all our politicians were so. I’m voting Barnette and I’m excited to do so.
Also anti vax mandate, pro medical freedom.
If I were still living there, I’d vote for Kathy Barnette in a heartbeat.
I pray she succeeds in her endeavors as she has stated them.
I live in Montana and have generational roots in Pennsylvalia going back to the Revolutionary era. We were there when it was the wild, mostly uncharted, west. I’ve only visited family back there twice – but as my father told me, the taproots grow deep.
I’ve read completely through Kathy Barnette’s website and to boil her positions and specific steps she would take to address real problems, the word is: solid.
I would not hesitate to vote for her or to urge anybody to lives in my ancestral homeland to do the same.
Dr. Oz? Haven’t gone to his website. Don’t have to. His whole candidacy is a lie.
Oz’s Trojan Horse candidacy is founded upon taqqiyah, the Muslim doctrine of deliberate deceit, which approves and teaches that it’s OK, even desirable, to tell the infadels- that’s us – what they want hear, so as to take advantage of them and destroy them later.
Pennsylvania is a very old state and it’s had a long time to figure out how to legally screw it’s residents. Be glad you’re not here! The death taxes are pushing me out. Maybe our ancestors knew one another?:)
I’m on a couple PA forums and nobody says anything bad about Kathy. Nobody likes Oz and they go to KB forums,speeches etc. Very heavily invested in rooting out rinos.
I think she and Mastriano are favorites here.
Far from Penn, but watching closely because this state belonged to Trump. Mastriano for gov., for sure, and the best out of the lot for Senate is Barnette who would have my vote. That said, her “bio” about the reference to Officers Candidate School, and then…..? Was or was she not capable of completing this initial test to become a leader of men and women? Yes, this school separates the wheat from the chaff…so what is the end of this part of her walk in life…hopefully its her demonstration of being a leader in the Senate after Nov.
We’ve seen how woke the military has become over the last couple of decades. Maybe she was too honest and too Christian to be promoted to officer. Look at all these pansy ass woke generals and admirals roaming around the DC swamp these days.
So what did Mastriano do to shut down and expose election fraud?
I live in PA and am voting for her 100% and telling all my friends to do the same. Love Trump, but he’s wrong on this one.
Are you sure that the MAGA vote won’t be split and allow McCormack to win?
I say support Oz to support President Trump. But please don’t let McCormack win!
If Oz wins, vote Oz but support Barnette in the primary. Primaries are where the Uniparty is beaten.
In Pa since 1985; whomever the uniparty wants will be installed.
No true conservative will be permitted, just as a big win by Trump was simply overruled.
THIS, “Primaries are where the Uniparty is beaten” is EXACTLY right.
And I will NOT vote for a RINO, even if it has PDJT’s endorsement.
I will NEVER knowingly vote for a RINO again, as they ARE worse than the Democrat; it is the RINOS that have enabled the leftist agenda to advance as far as it has.
What we THINK of as “the Dem agenda”, the ‘leftist agenda’ is the UNIPARTY, GLOBALIST agenda, fully supported by the GOPe.
I see a million ads a day between Oz and McCormick and got so sick of these two spending so much to hide their past positions. I figured why should I vote for either of these two if they have an airport full of baggage between them that they must run a million ads to hide it.
Then, just as I was mulling the idea of looking at the other candidates, Steve Bannon had her as a guest on his Warroom show on Real America’s Voice. I LOVED what I saw and heard and have been more impressed with her as time has passed.
She’s the real deal and I would be so proud if PA were to have her as our Republican senator!
The answer is, they don’t know very much about her. Some people on websites say “She’s the MAGA candidate” and they run with it.
Anyone can throw out red meat, but can they win a general election? Winning a primary battle and then losing the general election war doesn’t help us.
Winning the general with another Toomey isn’t much of a win, if at all.
Exactly. Trump needs PA in 2024. He needs the Senator in PA to be on his side. He chose Oz. Let’s give him a shot I say to ensure the MAGA vote is not split and McCormick wins.
I don’t know Barnette enough to know if she can really win the general election. Her name id is very low and she will need to have some serious money to win it. Without Trump backing her, she doesn’t have a prayer. It’s one thing to win the primary, it’s another to win the general!
If Oz loses, Trump can endorse her for the general and help her raise money. No one is perfect, not even Trump.
Oz is all over the place. Kathy Barnette is a true America First believer. Check out some of her speeches and TV interviews. Her debate performance was outstanding. She should win and deserves to win.
I believe the only reason President Trump chose Oz was because the Pennsylvania race is going to be difficult to carry for the GOP no matter who runs and Oz can at least put in some of his own money so that Trump will have to put in less. Without cheating, I actually think Kathy Barnette stands a chance. With cheating, I think we get scammed like we did in New Jersey just recently.
Yep, I’d vote her if i lived in Pennsylvania
if you’re a democrat you can vote in pennsylvania.
And your dead grandmother (God rest her soul) can, too!
Barely. My mom’s family settled there from Ireland during potato famine. One aunt, now deceased, & I have been the only “rich bloods” to be, & vote Republican.
Mind you, no one had more than another, but that belief in “wealth”, unions & “governmental” security was their war cry against Republicans.
Old beliefs die hard deaths, usually after they’ve knocked off their supporters.
I honestly don’t know anything about Barnette that I have not read in CTH. Not living in PA, I tend to leave her character assessment to Pennsylvanian voters who I expect know about her better than I do..
I can only suggest that, before jumping on any bandwagons, people do genuine due diligence on her background including all social media and legacy media to see if there exist any video or quotes credibly attributed to her that conflict with her currently claimed positions and bona fides.
Pennsylvania, a swing state with 20 electoral votes, appears to be a major target for a lot of malign disinformation and underhanded manipulations. Every challenger candidate needs to be extra-carefully vetted.
/thread
I first heard of her here, but saw a number of her posts on GETTR since, and like what I see.
Same here. I’ve watched a few of her speeches and the girl is ON!
Were those speeches made long before this current campaign? Of course she’s campaigning as pro-MAGA in this campaign, but what about before, when it was somewhat popular (and definitely MSM-safe) for establishment GOP candidates to disparage or disagree with PDJT or MAGA policies ?
She’s been maga since maga became maga.
Well OK then.

Am all in as a supporter – even though I am Ohio Buckeye, sent substantial donation to her campaign. Vs Oz and McCormick, she is easily better. More than that, she shows the citizenship we absolutely require in the present moment, and would be the choice in a good competitive field. Her story is one to for others to see as an example, and one to emulate.
Freedom requires our commitment. A Kentucky Derby Rich Strike coming from back of the pack on long odds. MAGA
100% agree GB ….absolutely.
She may look and sound terrific……
Check out every little comma and period….something strange is going on.
There’s nothing strange. I’ve be following her on Facebook for years, since before she declared she was running for Senate. She’s been MAGA since the beginning. And she is a true conservative. The woman is more conservative than I am.
Good. I hope it all works out well for Pennsylvanians.
My husband and I have strong grassroots there to this day.
Good luck.
This is my primary concern with Barnette. I just think we should trust President Trump on this one and vote Oz, despite his background.
His background is identical to Trump’s when he was running in 2016! Right now, he’s a convert to MAGA, let’s accept him and see how he does. He’s definitely a strong general election candidate against anyone the Dems put up. We can’t lose PA in 2022!
I respectfully disagree. Oz is hated by the base while Trump is loved by the base. Barnette is also loved by the base so I think Oz will lose in the general. It’s as simple as that.
An endorsement is just a reccomendation, nothing more.
We got where we are, because for YEARS we voted for the Candidate with the R after our name, and only 20-25 percent of Republican voters even bothered to vote in the Primaries.
If we “just vote for who PDJT endorces” how is that any different than outsourcing our vote to the R party?
It is YOUR vote, do not outsource it to ANYONE.
DO your due diligence, and do NOT vote for a lesser of two weavils, vote for America First candidate based on their statements.
If I were in Pennsylvania, I would vote for Barnette.
I am appalled by anyone who blindly follows the orders of someone else as to whom to vote for -even including Trump’s endorsement. Think for yourself. Trump is no where close to being able to choose the right people, many of whom stabbed him in the back and then for good measure twisted the knife. Vote for the Turkish citizen – I never thought we would see the day, but here we are.
“The City of straight streets & crooked people.”
Philadelphia
A lot of people in my family are voting for Kathy Barnette. No body can figure out why President Trump endorsed Oz.
Many of Trump’s endorsements–like his personnel decisions–leave much to be desired…..
Nobody’s perfect. Trump is a media mogul and would likely look at Oz through the lens of another media guy.
That’s not a good lens. Looking at his statements and positions he’s taken, Oz is a moderate to liberal Democrat. Only now in the last 6 months to a year has he become a conservative freedom lover. Donald Trump was always right of center on a number of issues like immigration and taxation. He just hated the Republicans’ stance on endless war.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/05/09/scholars-question-mehmet-ozs-justification-for-maintaining-turkish-citizenship/
I read Jr brought Oz to PDJT?
I always heard it was Melania.
Does that make any difference?
No one thinks the way PDJT does. He is very bright. He is very complex. He has his way of
assessing a situation and making a decision. So be it.
It is done.
The people of Pennsylvania will make the final decision, hopefully without any voter fraud.
President Trump is unduly impressed by celebrities.
Keep in mind that he is an antiestablishment elitist who naturally gravitates toward those of his own social standing. This explains, in part, his easy rapport with foreign dignitaries with whom he shares no political bonds.
Kathy Barnette is lacking the elite credentials that President Trump believes are necessary to fight the establishment elite.
So he will endorse an anti-gun, pro-abortion celebrity because he imagines The Wizard of Oz has the necessary social stature to fight his enemies.
Agreed.
Seems that’s why the political neophytes Herschel Walker and JD Vance got endorsements over much more MAGA minded conservative candidates. Maybe his main thought process is, “Will this person survive the vicious, unending attacks from fake news media?” if nominated and elected.
He thinks Oz’s name recognition will give him a better shot in the general against the Democrat candidate. I think he’s wrong on this one…people are much more engaged in this election, and many democrat women are looking for an excuse to vote Republicans if only to protect their children from all the sexual crap being pushed on their children in school by Democrats. Kathy Barnette gives them a great choice to vote for…MUCH better than Oz or McCormick.
She will also attract the black vote.
Welp, Trump certainly knows how to take a here-to-fore mundane situation, and make it virtually pop with excitement.
The Republican Primary has been transformed from a back water, no one cares, mundane plebiscite to a national debate. Throughout the Commonwealth, people, who normally don’t bother themselves with Primary Elections, are paying attention to this one. He even got the Corporate News to cover it!
So here we are. Let the best candidate win and keep the faith.
Oz helped Trump when he was sick with Covid, I believe.
Oz was promoting HCQ/zinc on his shows early on, and IIRC was using his own money to try and lobby DC to get it accepted as a standard covid treatment. He had people on his show whose lives were saved using it. It seems it was around the same time that President Trump was promoting it, and even buying up quantities of it (which are now, who knows where — perhaps in the same govt warehouse with the Ark of the Covenant from Raiders…) Sadly, it seems that someone got to Oz, and he suddenly backed down and retracted it. But maybe there was a strong connection between Oz and Trump over that.
Interesting that he backed HCQ at one time, cuz he sure came at Wendy Williams hard when he found out she was not vaxxed.
He sounds like a classic Flip-Flopper, and someone who is *easily* influenced/intimidated by TPTB..
Seriously, I was pre-disposed to supporting Trumps pick – Oz – just a few days ago.
But just a *little* bit of research on Barnette the last couple days has really shown me that she is more than likely the *much* better choice.
Really wish her PA. supporters had gotten the word out about her MUCH earlier. But, it’s never too late, so hopefully they’ll go overboard the next few days and spread the word about her.
Hah! A family member texted that question to me today.
Kathy would be my pick, 100%.
Good to see this, and I hope she wins.
She seems like another candidate stifled by the establishment since I only started hearing about her a few days ago.
I beg to differ. She is not Ultra Maga – she was on Dr. Gina’s program a couple of hours ago on Real America’s Voice and was specifically asked if she supported the Trump MAGA Agenda and she replied no – that Trump had taken HER agenda. She was clearly distancing herself in this interview FROM Trump!!!
We were upset that Trump did not put his people in government. Now he is choosing people who he wants to work with, and people are refusing. Help Trump out.
I agree with your comment
President Trump knows the people of Pa..and they are moderates..He wants us to get someone that can win..Ask the people ..all the people of Pa how they feel..not some people on news site..
What is a moderate these days?
Exactly
In the old days, we used to call them “mugwumps”: their mug was on one side of the fence and their wump on the other.
Great term.
That is the same assessment Trump got in 2016, and yes he won. So start pushing and let us see us break a sweat!
No, I don’t believe he does. He can’t possibly know the people of every state. That Kathy has come this far, without the endorsement of President Trump and without the support of the PA GOP, who always back rinos (my brother has worked with them all of his adult life, so 40 years or more), says a lot.
He’s picking people who he believes can win the general election against the democrats. I live in PA and think he’s misreading the 2022 electorate. Democrats, especially black and Hispanic women, are looking for ANY excuse to jump ship with all this sexual crap pushed by the Democrats on their elementary school children. They will vote for Barnette in droves.
I agree.
I think the election in Virginia sent a message that few on either side have truly absorbed.
PARENTS, single parents, married parents, democrat, republican or independant, black, white pink or purple, liberal or not, are DISGUSTED, HORRIFIED and royally p.o.’d at what the Public education system has exposed itself to be.
And they are, and will continue to make their voices heard, …the behavior during Covid, the tik toc videos, CRT, argueing it is THEY and not the Parents that should decide what sex education their kids recieve, the trans b.s.,..its all TOO MUCH, and the backlash is going to be far greater than anyone can imagine.
Angry momma and poppa bears are going to tear some stuff down.
During his Administration, the people Trump selected to work with recommended by his advisors (in particular his daughter and son-in-law) were abject failures: Tillerson, Sessions, Esper, Mattis, Barr, Scaramucci, Sondland, Bolton, Nielsen, Kelly, Haley, McMaster, Haspel, Price, and the list goes on. The people of Pennsylvania are beginning to proclaim loudly who they want (Barnette) and who they don’t want (Oz). One would think with such a dismal personnel selection record Trump would listen to the people and not to his inept advisors who neutered his Adminstration with catastrophic appointees.
YES.
As you read over that list, check to see how many held positions that required Senate confirmation, which means were effectively appointed by PDJT’s arch enemy McConnell.
LOOK at DJT, Businessmans record on hiring/promoting managers for his businesses.
Stark contrast; he always hired smart, capable and usually exceptional people to manage construction projects, Hotels, etc.
McConnell forced him to take who McConnell wanted, or have the position unfilled.
He is focused on “preserving his brand” for his endorsement; he endorses who he thinks can win, even if its a RINO.
Thats his formula, not mine.
Fool me once, fool me twice. The people are supposed to be deciding, not anyone else.
Well, now…isn’t that interesting!
She’s of the mindset that SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AMERICA FIRST and Donald J. Trump stole her Thunder!!!
How dare he!!!!
Arrogant much?
Whoa Pennsylvania…do your homework; don’t be snookered!!!!!!!!!
It is possible she was fundamentally MAGA before DT embraced that agenda.
It is possible many of us were fundamentally MAGA before PDJT created the phrase “Make America Great Again” and that was during the TEA Party days, when DJT was very active and frequently spoke at those events…I was there.
Soooo, many of us can claim that phrase and we have lived that philosophically for generations!
However, as a political candidate, it is NOT a wise idea to come off as snarky and arrogant to the agenda and platform of the President of the United States.
That’s all I am laying out for you all to think about.
Who does this? Why do it? She did it on National Television and I’m sure PDJT knows all about it.
If she pulls off a primary win in PA, don’t expect PDJT to bend down to her and thank her for her ULTRA-MAGA Agenda.
Quite frankly, without a doubt PDJT knows more about this gal than anyone sitting around here tonight can imagine. He really does have the best intelligence in the world.
Its possible she is pissed she didn’t get PDJT’s endorsement, which she feels as a long-time MAGA positioned person, she was entitled to.
And as you can see from the comments here, there are many who effectively feel similar; if your going to endorse, endorse the MAGA, American First candidate, NOT a RINO.
Otherwise, you demean your endorsement, even if you can say you “always pick a winner”.
That’s the way I take her comments. I know I have been MAGA for at least 40 years. Trump did not invent MAGA, he gave it a name, a voice and policies that were bringing us back. No one “owns” patriotism.
Who the hell cares who was first America First.
Let’s skip the feelings and go with Sundance’s quote:
Barnette said, “MAGA does not belong to President Trump . . . although he coined the word, it belongs to the people. Our values never shifted to President Trump’s values. It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values.”
I believe, and if you go back and research PDJT’s speeches and news conferences since BEFORE 2015; he was saying the same thing and fighting for America First policies.
My point, is that in a political race, especially at the PRIMARY level, it may not be such a HOT IDEA to put down the POTUS, The Commander in Chief (and she is military background?). Her words and actions denote arrogance and disrespect.
In the world I was reared in, that is NOT A GOOD LOOK, and it’s not a good thing to spark a fire on the bridge as you are attempting to crossover the river, especially when you have no idea who or what is on the other side.
Be very careful what you wish for.
If Barnette said that, it was a slap in the face to Trump. She lacks discretion at the very least and will not get far insulting President Trump. IMHO
She was not insulting Trump. Did you listen to the above? Apparently not. She was trying to show she embraced his policies before he was a candidate since she was accused of latching onto him. Big deal.
That was my take. Like they say in the song “I was country when country wasn’t cool”.
Bottom line in the Senate race for me is ABO (anybody but Oz). The fact that PDJT endorsed him revealed more about DJT than it did about Oz.
Barnette had to make herself a magnet to attract our attention.
Just like ANY political must, and particularly when taking on rich opponents backed by mega-bucks.
Looks like it worked … brilliantly.
Careful now:
In politics: One day you are up!
Next day you are down!
We will see what happens!!!
I wish her luck.
She’s probably peaking just at the right time.
She’s not wrong. The Paleocons were MAGA decades before Trump himself. The Michelle Malkins and Bat Buchanans of the conservative side have been saying this stuff for a long time.
100%
I think she has to put a distinction between herself and our President. He didn’t endorse her. Plus, in South East PA, a deep association with President Trump may not be a significant boost.
She’s gotten to this point on her own and she’s still standing strong on her principals, not riding coat-tails.
bingo.
Agree, she isn’t riding coat-tails and that is refreshing. I didn’t hear the clip so I don’t know the tone, but my first thought she was making a joke, or an attempt to say she has always been conservative. I didn’t know we now have an Ultra MAGA, is that the new term for True Conservative?
The American people, the Patriots have always believed in America First, Trump doesn’t own the sentiment. My parents were MAGA long before Trump was born. Trump marketed it and become the leader that we needed at the time, just as Reagan did.
The Demented Puppet tried to slur us with a new term, “Ultra MAGA.”
We happily said “Damn Straight!”
Well said – Patriots by definition put America First.
Barnette fully credited President Trump with “coining the term” to capture our minds, hearts and souls.
The other term I have been hearing lately is the “New Right”. I guess certain people are trying to distinguish themselves from the RINO’s. I am not sure the New Right is or will be any better than the Old Right. I think they are simply trying to freshen things up a bit, which is long overdue, but the term doesn’t impress me.
I DO think that we ARE seeing a whole NEW group of people entering Politics, in the Republican party.
But, we ALREADY have terms which clearly dilineat; RINO vs America First.
We don’t need or want to see them do what they did with Conservative;
Reagan Conservative
Neo-Conservative
Small or Capital C conservative
Social Conservative
Religious Conservative
East Coast Conservative
Traditional Conservative.
RINO vs AmericaFirst is all we need,..and anyone who refers to “Trump supporters” as “Trumpsters” is NOT a supporter of PDJT.
“[S]he was making a joke, or an attempt to say she has always been conservative.”
Or, I was MAGA when Donald Trump was still a NYC Democrat.
So, what did she mean by his values shifted. Which values? Even as a Democrat Trump was always America First. You can see and hear it in his tv appearances from the 1980s. I think Trump was always a “the party left me” kind of Democrat. Even JFK wouldn’t be a democrat today.
“Ultra MAGA, is that the new term for True Conservative?“
Technically, it is the phrase used by an American firearms manufacturer. 😃
The Remington Ultramag concept was introduced by Remington Arms Company as an attempt to up the ante on existing rifle cartridges
Remington called and raised its competitors with the Ultra Magnum. The .300 RUM in factory guise will catapult the ubiquitous 180 grain bullet 200 – 300 fps faster than the .300 Winchester magnum.
So yea, ultra mags shoot farther and flatter than Slow Joe’s double-barrel shotgun.
And B. Goldwater. “Extremism in the defence of liberty, is NO VICE!”
The BASE has always been America First, and the those in control of the Party has ALWAYS been,…not.
Whether we called them “Rockerfeller Republicans”, “Country Club Republicans” or Rinos, the party has been abusing the Republican base, for as long as Democrats have been registering dead voters.
I have posted and said that the current Az State Republican party chair, Dr. Kelli Ward “was MAGA before the escalator ride” and I feel I was, as well.
I certainly wouldn’t have that statement be a reason to not vote for someone.
Exactly.
She had to address the endorsement issue and did so in a classy and distinct way that puts no light between herself and PDJT’s agenda.
She essentially said “Welcome to the party, pal!”
😉
Well, she certainly accomplished that goal.
Now she has to live with it.
Good points.
This is a solidly reasoned argument, which will be swiftly rejected by the Pom Pom contingent here.
Your comment raises an important question. Is it possible to be MAGA without Trump?
Remember:
“It’s you they are after. I’m just standing in their way.”
Go back to his rallies and you will find this phrase.
So many are being exposed now; he did the right thing after all.
It better be. Trump is not immortal.
Despite the distorted image of him as “all about Trump”, in watching his rallys and speaches, he well understands and clearly communicates the understanding that its about US, not HIM.
A leader can only lead his followers where they want to go.
I think this take will play well in the general election with the Black community. She’s her own woman. Trump happened to agree with her take.
CarolineH, are you involved with PA Republican politics? My GOP neighbor doesn’t like Barnette but can’t give me a clear reason. But then she hates Trump too and cannot concede that he was a wonderful president
No she wasn’t…I saw that interview too…she was explaining why Trump’s decision to endorse Oz was a flawed decision. She made a GREAT point, that name recognition (the reason why Trump endorsed Oz) works both ways…and guess what, she was absolutely correct.
Trump gave the MAGA folks a title and voice. As @Sundance says, he is our weapon. Barnett is correct in saying MAGA pre-existed Trump’s joining the fray. If she’s a bit put off by his endorsement of the wizard, wouldn’t you be?
Understandably so, since he didn’t endorse her. She has stated many times that she supports the Trump MAGA agenda and will always be loyal to it. Her recent wording is, I would imagine, a reaction to his endorsement of a different candidate. I take it to mean she supports MAGA, with or without Trump. Again, I’ve been following her for years. I’m not even sure how I started following her on Facebook.
That is one of the most idiotic takes on anything I have ever heard in my life. No wonder we are in such a mess because we have to deal with massive, grotesque idiots. My apologies, but that is how I feel. It’s obvious you did not listen to the above, but she says the same thing,
She is not distancing herself from Trump and for you to think that is bizarre. She was accused of latching onto Trump’s agenda because he is popular and she said that he latched onto her policies as a way of showing she is a true believer in MAGA and she was MAGA before MAGA was cool. That is all she is trying to demonstrate.
I now understand why politicians have to use simple sound bites and small words and phrases.
I suspect Carolyn is a GOP operative.
I am in PA and decided a few weeks ago after researching to vote for Barnette. No way would I vote for Oz or the globalist hedge fund McCormick. I’ve seen vids of Kathy Barnette from years ago saying absolutely the right things, she is a real upgrade from Toomey.
Records over words. See where FJB landed inspite of records opposed to recent words and past words opposed to recent deeds. A person’s foundation when solid does not change with the wind, popular opinion or trends, pressure from oppostion or popular agendas. Every one has a record that reflects how solid they are as people of integrity, conscience and work ethics and responsibility/priorities towards those they serve.
She’s not a politician so what record do you speak of?
I said “Every one has a record” – everyone – work, family, friends, social life etal. Why does one have to be a politician or ‘anything’? How does one rate one’s neighbor, banker, doctor, friends or family who decide to enter politics? It is obvious that it did not count for much when you have a FJB and many more others than not actually in politics – who get reelected over and over again. What criteria would you say that is based on? Politics? Career records? Not having a political background has nothing to do with having a pointer as to how someone without political background would work for those whom they serve
I am not in favor of racially oriented groups in the House or Senate (i.e. Congressional Black Caucus). However, I would love for there to be an exception in 2023 when, hopefully, the then 3 black Republican senators (Scott, Walker, and Barnette) could create the Black Senate Caucus … and exclude Corey Booker, the lone remaining black Democratic senator, just as the CBC excluded Republican Byron Donalds last year.
Let’s go with “Black Patriots Caucus”.
Demo☭rats have disqualified themselves.
Just found 4 of your comments in the bin BKR…let them all out. 🙁
HAH. Do the research,…on Black Senators and Congressmen, and what party the first ones were.
I believe there WAS a “Black caucus” all Republicans, long before the first Black Democrat.
Is Trump playing his own splitter strategy, by supporting Oz against McCormick?
I don’t believe this is another case of 4D chess, no. I think it’s a case of bad advice, and has the smell of Javanka all over it.
You are speculating. Wildly.
As is everyone else on this subject.
If that Barnette lady wins Globohomo is going to go full tilt. It’s not a complaint just an observation. They already have. These primaries are where I suspect a lot engineering will be in play. They want a firewall for the GE midterms. Rather D or R they win which is what they are accustomed to. I don’t see any circumstances where candidates like Barnette are calmly allowed to be seated next January. The tea leaves seem to be supporting my theory. Biden doesn’t appear to really care enough about trying to propose commons sense solutions that Americans might feel some relief. Not trying to dim anyone’s hopes so go vote. Find the most conservative candidate who can win and have your friends/fam go with it. Splitting the vote will be an obvious UniParty strategy.
I bring this up because its important that we consider what we face. We’re facing an enemy that has no plans on letting their birthright to power just slip away. It came a little too close for comfort in 2016 election of Trump. Instead of risk a popular uprising and not letting him take the reins of power they elected to remove him the quiet way. And after a engineered bio weapon, insurrection, and in your face voter fraud it pains me to say mission accomplished. They will not be letting this out of their control again IMHO. Still we must try there’s no argument there. Let the chips fall where they may.
I see it differently. Their two most powerful weopons, which they employed succesfuly to accomplish their 100 year march through the Institutions;
Credibility
and the ‘Controlled opposition’ of the Uniparty.
They have totally destroyed the first, and the second is seriously depleted, all to “stop Trump at any cost”.
Without those two devastaingly powerful weopons, they are foundering and grasping for CONTROL, that without those weopons they can never achieve.
They have been playing DEFENCE, and losing,…and at great cost.
Agree with you. The mask has slipped and the uniparty cannot hide behind it. Hence all the control maneuvering, Disinfo Board, panic over Musk buying Twitter etc. They are losing their control mechanisms and their panties are showing. Unfortunately they still control the majority of airtime which is where most people form their opinions.
I love her policy positions and her strong presentation.
And if I may, I want to say I think she’s just beautiful, as are her mother and her daughter.
She reminds me of Governor Palin in that way, and moreover in the same way she’s doing what Sarah did: while her opponents have spent millions she’s spent ‘about fourteen dollars’ and beats them hands down.
Go Kathy!
This looks genuine. I’d rather risk voting for her than Dr. Oz. I don’t trust him at all. He’s tight with Oprah and Hannity.
I would ask her and Dr. Oz one question:
Will you vote for M. McConnell for Majority Leader? YES or NO?
OZ is the spawn of Oprah. That is all you need to know.
Btw, not to be johnny rain cloud but PA is a Dominion state.
The way I understand it is that President Trump is old friends with Dr. Oz who is relatively, at least, MAGA. Donald J. Trump prizes loyalty probably more than anyone. He is loyal to his friends. This should be remembered and admired if you ask me. And understood. This man has gone through more since 2015 than any man in history, some of it by disloyalty from those he had to trust or did trust. It’s probably against the very fibre of his being to be disloyal to a friend who appears, at least, to be his friend. I’m also sure he would be happy if Kathy Barnette won. Why not – she’s MAGA.
Trump has a lot of old liberal friends from the NY area. Oz is just one of many. Trump was once a liberal, as was Ronald Reagan. But Trump, like Reagan, had a legitimate epiphany at some point and chose the better course. I don’t believe for a second that Oz has had the same epiphany. I think he is a leftist opportunist who is using Trump, and he will go over to the dark side the minute he’s elected. No offense, but I don’t think Oz has a MAGA bone in his body.
You may very well be right, but Trump, being who he is, has to remain loyal barring incontrovertible evidence.
Trump’s personal loyalty and waiting for the “incontrovertible evidence” is what backs us into a corner or ambushes us.
I like her, but I think the concern is, yes, she can win the primary, but not the general. I think that’s the ONLY reason Trump endorsed OZ. Just to get an ‘R’, even if he’s a RINO. Not sure it wouldn’t be the same as a D winning though…can’t stand OZ….
D’s = RINOs. There is no difference.
It’s why Dem Voters love the RINOs. They’re exactly the same.
Democrat=Conmunist
RINO=Republican In Name Only=Democrat
Ergo RINO=Conmunist
Any questions?
HOW is a “Rino better than a democrat”?
Their NOT.
Lt Governor Winsome Sears (R-VA) proved to be a viable candidate, even though she is a Negress.
Kathy Barnette is running for US Senate in a state that leans more conservative than Virginia.
hokkoda may be correct about stealth candidates, but why would a vetting committee put forward a Negress to demonstrate that Republicans are not Satanic Hitler racists with a side serving of Satan Sauce?
No, this gal needs to be evaluated on her own merits and from the little I have seen, she seems to be better than Toomey who was supposed to be a vast improvement over his predecessor, Arlen Sphincter.
So we can use racial slurs for people on CTH now? Delete your post immediately.
@Christian Warren
Found the racist troll.
The candidate Oz replaced was Army Veteran Sean Parnell. Parnell had been asked out of thin air by Trump to run for Congress. Parnell lost the Congressional race in 2020, most likely due to the cheating, decided to have a go for the Senate. Suddenly out of nowhere wife abuse issues came up, they weren’t a problem when he ran for Congress. He immediately dropped out of the race. His story reeks of Karl Rove and McConnell doing their tricks. Odd how fast it went down.
Enter Dr. Oz who isn’t a PA resident. Just all very weird, once again those behind closed doors are doing the picking and choosing.
Oz is a muslim, being an American and a muslim at the same time is against their religion.
Will say it again, Trump was forced/blackmailed into backing Denver Riggleman, who thankfully lost. I don’t know why he would be forced into endorsing Oz, but it is strange. I am tired of politicians telling us who we should vote for, Trump or not.
If I was a PA resident I would vote for Barnette. At least she is a fresh face, and she has her CCP.
Oz served in the Turkish Army – not the American Armed Services. He voted for Erdogan who is a committed opponent of the Christian West. This is as far as you can get from MAGA.
I don’t know anything about the Riggleman situation, but as for Parnell and Oz, I think you’re spot on.
AND what is her family life like? Her spouse?…..Hmmmmmm…don’t think the Dems will drag up her background in the general?
And what will they say? She’s a white supremacist? They probably will, they’re so crazed. But Oz is a card-carrying, lifelong leftist whose loyalties lie with the anti-Christian Turk Erdogan. The choice in this election is obvious. Trump F’d up. Again.
So? They bring up everyone’s past, or make one up for them. It is all in how they handle it, and how much people are willing to grace them if there is truth to the story. Trump survived being divorced umpteen times, married to a woman that posed in sultry lesbo tawdry photo shoots, and no one care about his poosay scandal.
She is the product of a rape. Her mother was 12 when she gave birth to her. She is easily the best pro life voice I have ever heard. So exactly what are the dems going to say about her background?
Last minute Republicans undecided will vote for her. People are either on board for Oz or not. After Trumps PA rally, didn’t pull Oz up, with a few tv commercials this week, she will win.
I agree. Oz has totally maxed out, he is terribly unpopular among Republicans here in PA. The Trump endorsement and the rally last week in Greesburg has barely moved his poll numbers. Once people see this poll and realize Barnette is a viable candidate the undecideds will break for her. I could see support for McCormick collapse as well.
Glad to hear that the endorsement did not help Oz much.
Now PA Barette supporters need to get out there and support her in whatever way they can >>>> and share some of her many wonderful vids w/ the undecideds (or Oz supporters ) that they know.
Signs, lots and lots of yard signs everywhere.
I am a PA voter and will be supporting Kathy Barnette. If Oz wins the primary, I will not vote for him. No more RINOs!
Thank you. This is the PA spirit I know and admire.
Love it! Please bring a dozen friends or family with you – make it a fun group outing. Choose those less likely to vote without your encouragement.
God Bless You!
15%. Lots of undecideds in that poll. If President Trump would just acknowledge her somehow… he would know how to do it w/o changing his ‘pick’. That might do it.
When the Strong Horse reveals itself, reevaluate . . .
Actually, PDJT HAS withdrawn an endorsement when a candidate he had endorsed took the “Move on from 2020” position of the RINOS.
Don’t suppose he will withdraw his endorsement from Oz, and switch to Barnette, but he should,..although maybe Barnette is better off without it at this point?
When she wins, how long before the democrats/media call her a white supremacist?
Answer: Faster than you can say “ultra MAGA.”
She needs to have a chat w/Winsome Sears, she is great at sniping down the race crap.
Meanwhile in New Mexico, Professor David Clements has presented evidence of vote / computer / Secretary of State’s office corruption in the 2020 election.
https://rumble.com/v144v6g-2020-election-special-emergency-special-session-in-new-mexico.html
Trump BLEW it. I don’t know who he is listening to Jared and Ivanka again?.
P Trump pull endorsement of Oz and throw in with KB??
Doubt he will. No history of him doing that, unless he gets burned. If she gets the primary, he may back her then. She may not want it. She will have to appeal to “moderates” who hate Trump. PA is a wild card.
Does OZ have ANY qualifications, experience or background that would justify him being a US senator? Anything?
As compared to whom?
Nope. He does have training dealing w/the cameras and media aka acting.
You left out sucking Oprah’s [)i<&
I’m in Wayne County in the Poconos in northeastern PA…huge MAGA Trump area and I’ve been spreading the word about her since I saw her on Bannon’s show…she was GREAT! And everything I’ve seen and heard since is even BETTER!
Barnette is 100% the choice for ultra-MAGA. Just one year ago McCormick was issuing ultra-woke press releases touting his company’s participation in the WEF social justice crap. Fawning over Fauci and Biden. Just one year ago WEF member Oz was pushing a political agenda closely resembling the drivel seen on The View. Said masks are “freedom”. I literally don’t care what they say now, they are totally disqualified. Living here in western PA I have seen them spend 60 million bashing each other on TV. Good. It’s been helping Barnette. She is totally grassroots and by far the best candidate. I personally am sick of RINO’s like Spector and Toomey representing PA, McCormick and Oz would just continue that tradition. Not to mention both are carpetbaggers who have had no connection to PA in years.
Voting for anyone besides Barnette is voting for a WEF-supporting communist. There is only one American in this race.
She’s the real deal. She’s authentic. She’s intelligent and speaks well (as in she can debate). That she’s a minority and female are pluses. She personifies the MAGA movement. Why PDJT did not endorse her over Oz is something I will never understand. No matter, PDJT is backing the wrong horse. Can’t win them all Mr. President.
When there is a dispute between candidates as to whom is more Maga, perhaps it would be wise for Trump to sit it out and endorse none of them.
By my reading, there IS no dispute; Barnette is MAGA, the other two are phonies.
Go, Kathy!
A strong MAGA voice.
On point.
No waffling!
Cross that finish line!
You deserve it!
Check out her YouTube channel. She is AWESOME!
Agree.
Her twit account is great, too.
Both are easy to copy/paste and share w/ PA Voters who need to know about her.
Here’s the vid fr/ her website page.
Read the whole description at the YT link. Here’s an excerpt. (She wrote a book, too!):
….” Kathy Barnette’s first book “Nothing to Lose, Every-thing to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America” explains why liberal policies have failed the black community time and time again – and will fail the larger American community as Democrats rush to the hard Left of the party.”…..
Okay! Figgered it out!
Go back and check out Joni Ernst’s first primary in IOWA!!!..
Same playbook…same phrases…only this gal…can add “black” to
the resume of female, military, pig farmer.
Check it out.
Maybe I’m wrong….but…something is just not measuring up in my skeptical thinking.
No one candidate is ever perfect.
God bless you & lead you to the Senate in Pennsylvania & beyond! 🙏🏻♥️
There are a lot folks that say they don’t know anything about her. The only way you don’t know about her is if you are either (1) asleep, (2) not a MAGA patriot, or (3) peddling disinformation. Barnette has been around since 2021, has not changed, and is the story, the poster child of the Deplorables. Yes, anybody can lie, but for the moment, all the others, taken at face value, can’t come close to her bonfides. We should pray for her success now, in November, and strength to resist the pressure to sell out once she gets to the swamp.
Her supporters in PA. have not been especially skilled (At. All) at getting the word out about her.
It’s a shame, because I think she would’ve been getting donations fr/ outside PA. long ago had they done so.
Brilliant communicators are not exactly a dime a dozen.
Mark Robinson vids were shared all over the country and led him to a WIN a couple years later.
I think people who live in PA. and are Barnette supporters really need to share links to her vids, twits, etc. w/ other PA. Voters.
I say that because, the nite Trump endorsed Oz, a whole bunch of ’em got on TCH and were just, basically, yelling and screaming: “Bad Choice, Vote Kathy!!!”.
>>> but Not. One of them left a link to introduce who the heck she actually was and what she stood for.
Just saying “Bad Choice, Vote for Kathy” will get you NOWHERE.
Saying : “Here’s a vid, see what you think” will get you MILES w/ this impressive woman.
I say vote Oz to support President Trump. However, as long as McCormack doesn’t win, I’ll be satisfied.
The only question with Barnette is if she’s MAGA and can she win the general election? Has she been vetted?? If not, the Dems will surely vet her!
Prez Trump does not need our support.
He already knows we support him.
LOL. He’ll survive Just. Fine. if majority votes Kathy.
Careful there sunnydaze.
Yes PDJT will be fine no matter what because that is just who he is.
But, are you sure of this Barnette gal?
She sure brings back memories of Joni Ernst in a different time in Iowa…Just sayin’ what I see and know to be
true in politics.
I’ve done voter out reach in Pa since 2008. I’ve seen many elections where Voters just did not to pay much attention until the last few weeks before the election when they realized they needed to research and figure out who to vote for.
I think there was a lot of this after the last debate:
I don’t do the “three dimensional chess” thing, but Trump endorsing Oz was definitely strategic because the CCP hedge funder (David McCormick) was absolutely walking away with this race until Trump made everyone pay attention to the field. It is easy for people to pile on Dr. Oz because he has the highest name ID, but President Trump endorsed him, and I won’t bash Oz or Trump. Never forget, President Trump values LOYALTY above almost anything else–a quality seen virtually no where else in politics–and Dr. Oz and his family have been loyal friends to the Trumps. The fact is, Oz is not nearly as dangerous as the guy who is a member of the Atlantic Council and Aspen Institute, wife at Goldman Sachs, and runs Ray Dalio’s hedge fund with more investments in Communist China than any other American fund. If Trump had endorsed Kathy in the primary, she would not have been able to financially combat the incoming she would have received from McCormick’s Wall Street donors.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet all the candidates, and Dr. Oz is actually a really like-able guy who wasn’t afraid to answer questions, even the awkward/tough ones—something David McCormick couldn’t do, and then got rather testy with me! However, Kathy has the fighting spirit and street cred in the America First Movement! Imagine having someone like MTG in the Senate! I cannot wait to see a BLACK Republican/Conservative firebrand WOMAN take on the oaf of a pot head Socialist/faux-populist John Fetterman!
If Kathy can pull this off, it will not be a defeat of President Trump, it will be an affirmation that MAGA is in control! That being said, I can indeed, in good conscience vote for Dr. Oz in November. I’ll have to hold my nose and medicate myself with something stronger than water to vote for the Old Crow, McConnell’s guy: David McCormick.
Meanwhile the PA Gubernatorial race could be tricky. Mastriano is great, but Lou Barletta is a much stronger consensus candidate for the general election. For better or worse, the powers that be in the state party will probably sabotage Mastriano. Watching Mastriano interact with people at the most recent state committee meeting/debate was brutal. As a populist, I am happy with whomever the people choose. Notably, had the state committee chosen to endorse in the statewide races this cycle, I can state quite certainly, Mastriano, Oz, and Barnette would not have been their chosen candidates.
Thoughtful post. It’s simpler for me, though. If there is ever a vote in the Senate to mandate that receiving a vaccine is a condition of functioning in American society, who do I trust more to vote no? And the answer to that question is not Oz, and not McCormick. Plandemics have consequences.
To be fair, Oz was never in favor of mandates. But I agree with your sentiment.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to think through the Gov nominees. There are concerns that Mastriano can be attacked by Dems for his leadership in 2020 election fraud hearings, attending J6, wanting to sponsor the Heartbeat bill in a bluish state. They think they can sour suburban woman and independents against him.
This may be true.
It’s a plus for maga voters, but could be a turn off for suburban women and independents unless he can connect with their other concerns and over ride it.
I like both Mastriano and Barletta. Barletta ran for a statewide office in 2018 and lost by a really big margin though. I’m not sure he would do much better this time around.
The Dems are going to beat up on whoever the candidate is. They just need to be prepared….and fight back.
I’m leaning towards Mastriano as of now. My spouse likes Tim White.
I have no idea on the Lt Gov race yet. Any suggestions?
I really think this thing about “suburban women” is distorted.
Remember the “Trump effect” on polls?
“Trump supporters don’t participate, so the polls are scewed”.
Perhaps suburban women who are MAGA likewise don’t participate in polls, and so the view of the demographic “suburban women” and their position on issues is off.
I’ve been suggesting for Pennsylvania GOP primary voters to just select the top name in the three statewide races: Barnette, Barletta, & Clarice Shillinger for Lt. Governor. Clarice ran a national grassroots operation to get MAGA parents elected to school boards with great success in 2021. She has been featured on Steve Bannon’s War Room a number of times.
Here’s a vid from 2017.
I wonder if Conservatives are starting to see the problem w/ yammering about YT and twit- and refusing to use them.
You shoot yourselves in the foot by refusing to use the very platforms that will *easily* get the word out about candidates you support.
Can’t believe this woman’s videos were not seen all over this site the minute she started running for office. If they had been, her coffers would have been overflowing by now.
Does the Amish community know about this woman?
They were such huge Trump supporters and I think they’d be huge Barnette supporters, too.
I know that non-Amish organized to drive Amish voters to the Polls to Vote Trump in 2016.
Maybe they could do the same for Barnette this week?
I saw an interview with Kathy in which she said she has met with all kinds of voters across the state including Amish. She said she has met many of them, so…we’ll see how that goes next week.
I was in Lancaster a few days back and saw 4 Kathy Barnette signs lining the SR 741. Gap to Strausburg area of PA. Lots of Amish out that way.
How is it that the Trumpster endorsed RINO Oz instead of this amazing patriot?
Your amazing patriot will lose the general election because she is unknown and will not be able to get big financial donors to cough up millions of dollars to fund a campaign. Dr Oz has the popularity and the ability to raise the money needed to beat the Democrat machine. You realize that McConnell and the RNC will actually campaign against Barnette and fund the Democrat!
The GOPe will do the same against any maga candidates (just like they did the Tea Party). Are you saying don’t vote for any maga?
Vote for MAGA that can win. McCormick is the GOPe candidate. Trump assessed and saw in Oz someone who will be willing to fight for America-first values.
LOL.
Listen to her vids.
She is a MUCH more effective speaker than Oz.
Vote for the candidate President Trump endorsed
Tonight at this Barnett rally, you are talking to the hand.
They don’t want to hear reality.
Question for Oz true believers or blind endorsement followers:
Which candidate is more likely to fawn over a visit from Barry or Big Mike? And what kind of person does that? A quick search provides the answer.
Would Barnett be star-struck, humbled, grateful… or contentious? Serious question.
Respectfully, f*ck that sentiment, such thinking “vote for who the party tells me to vote for” is what got us into this position.
To simply transfer the outsourcing of our vote from “the Party” to President Trump means we haven’t learned a damn thing.
“Oh, this whole politics thing, and researching each candidate to decide who to vote for is just so HARD! I won’t vote in the primary, and in the general I’ll vote for whoever the party chooses” was the path 75 percent of Republican voters took, for many years.
And now “its too hard, i’ll just vote for whoever PDJT endorses in the primary and the general,…thats EASY, and I don’t have to do any research!”
The Big financial donors are the $ behind the RINOS.
They, like the State party leadership, and the National party leadership, and the Congressional party leadership , are the ENEMY.
IF your criterion for supporting or voting for a candidate is only if the above entities support them, thats insane.
From everything I have seen her positions are authentic and often backed up by prior videos, statements, etc….
sometimes even by actual actions. She wants to end Federal dept of education. She homeschooled her kids.
The GOPe will say she can’t win a general election and try to lump her in with past Tea Party candidates like Christine O’Donnell, etc.
I’ve seen many interviews. I think she comes across very well. I tried to consider that warning , but I just don’t think she is risky in that way.
She may be too pro life for the state. If she keeps it general as she did in the debate by saying it will be good for the people to have discussions about it (and sticks to the “states rights” (will of the people) aspect and the telling of her birth story she can be extremely effective.
McConnell and the RNC won’t fund Barnette so she will lose the general election to the Democrat. End of discussion!
She has to beat one Democrat — Oz — to meet another. God bless her!
No, it’s not the end of the discussion. Instead of being so defeatist, we need to realize that if we have to rely on McConnell and the RNC for funding, we have no chance anyway – they are part of the same communist, uniparty cult. But people will donate directly to Barnette and bypass the slimy GOP if they know why they should We are already a strong movement, and have nor yet really flexed our muscles. The time for flexing is now. The time for confronting the media is “past-now.”
Okay then.
You really need to follow your instincts and learn all about the politics of fund-raising for your favorite candidate.
Have Fun.
Good Luck.
She really seems to embody the ultra MAGA movement.
And the definition of the ULTRA MAGA movement IS???????????????
My political senses are tingling at this Kathy Barnette. She seems like the type that will go to DC and stab MAGA in the back. Remember some of those who get elected as Tea Partiers and then turned? Like Adam Kinzinger?
She says: “MAGA does not belong to President Trump . . . although he coined the word, it belongs to the people. Our values never shifted to President Trump’s values. It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values.” Really? What makes her think Trump was the one who shifted in his love for America? Anyone who tries to downplay the impact Trump has had on our politics is a red flag and should be watched carefully.
Trump is our voice, not the other way. Trump is great but he isn’t always perfect, just look at many of his picks that turned against him.
https://battleplan.news/watch?id=6279bd35f9b6c063bce1b559
Start at 4:00 it is a clip from Owen Schroyer of Infowars re: Oz and Barnette and a powerful prolife clip from Barnette-that itself is worth watching if nothing else.
I just watched a Jane Ruby clip about the jab Bourla and kids getting the jab she put near the end a clip of the PA rally this weekend where Trump brought up J&J CEO/founder told his wet cold audience who more than likely lost their small businesses, lost a relative to covid maybe have a jab injury-“he has so much money”
How tone deaf is Trump?
I’m over 50 voted for a president only 2 times in my life; voted Trump x 2, how many times can we keep giving him a pass for his bad decisions blaming his handlers.
After that clip from PA I would have lost it had I been there. Insane.
So, save yourself a headache and indigestion…
Do whatever you believe is best for Making America Great Again.
She is awesome and would make a great senator (much better than Dr Oz) but my concern is will she win in the general? This is not a Republican state. The Dems are running on 2 things, J6 and abortion. Suburban women are the demographic that America First candidates have the biggest problem with. Will Independents and moderate Dems vote for a strong Pro-Life woman? We can’t afford to lose another Republican seat. Trump won PA because of Dems crossing over.
After watching “2000 Mules”, I’m beginning to wonder if some of these “blue” states are really blue at all. Maybe Barnette will show us if the “blue” is an artificial veneer (applied by corruption) over an otherwise red-leaning PA.
Christian Doctrine 101:
“Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed; then Eve. And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression. Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.”
Douay-Rheims, 1 Timothy 2: 11 – 15
