OPINION: Kathy Barnette Has Crossed a
Line in Pennsylvania

Original Article

Posted By: shalimar, 5/16/2022 3:32:27 PM

I hate that I even have to write this article given my distaste for Dr. Mehmet Oz. It’s my opinion that Kathy Barnette has crossed a line in Pennsylvania, and we need to talk about it. Barnette, who is running for the GOP Senate nomination in the state, has been locked in a fierce battle with Oz and Dave McCormick, the latter of whom has moved into third place in most polls. Now, she’s letting it be known that she will not support any of the other Republicans if she loses the primary. This is a big red flag ...

Comments:

According to the source, Barnette told a Sirius interviewer that she won't support Oz or McCormick.

I live in PA. I voted for the persons who I think will have the greatest chances to win in Nov. My personal values are not as important as getting GOP to win. A GOP contented loser is not winning.

It takes a committed team to win at sports, politics, and in business. She is not a team player. Good for her that she made that clear before the election.

Barnette probably needs to be vetted more thoroughly. Democrats will gladly spend millions of dollars digging through her background if she's the nominee. The other two candidates are far from perfect but would have fewer surprise revelations.

So, that leaves Oz the rino, or, McCormick the Blackrock-esque hedge fund dude. Some days there's just no right choice...

I’ve made it no secret that I’m not a fan of Oz, and in fact, I’ve been largely complimentary of Barnette, but this changes things for me. We need nominees who understand the power dynamics at play and are willing to do what’s necessary to ensure victory. This isn’t middle school, and no candidate, even if they lose a primary, should just take their ball and go home. Her admirers laud her talk. What she says, how she says it. She is a media person - talking is what she does. We haven’t the foggiest notion what she would do. This is not a good sign. If I were in my late Mother’s and her family’s home state, I could not vote for Barnette...

Democrats are trying to select their preferred Republican candidate; in this case it's Barnette. They did this regarding John McCain and Mitt Romney. The New York Times gushed that McCain was by far the best Republican in the race. The day after he got the nomination, the Times skewered him with 1,000 cuts. Barnette is a pretender. Last heard, she won't release her NGB Form 22 (from the National Guard). She's probably hiding something in that Form that will prove she's been lying again and again about her military service.

The GOPe strikes again. Barnette was in the race while McCormick & Oz were in Connecticut & NJ. My opinion is they are lashing out since they were so blind. Sands is fuming because she looks like the definition of a "Karen" and sounds nasty too. Guess you still can't just buy a senate nomination! Go Kathy B!

Re #8, how do the “real” conservatives justify that? Sounds like they are afraid of an Oz they know so will jump in bed with a Barnette who is virtually unknown except that she is able to say all the things they want to hear. She has DONE NOTHING. Wow. How proud they’ll be when she wins and can make all her real dreams come true. Obie and Mooch will be so proud.

She won't support them because she's not a Republican. Greg Kelly exposed her a couple days ago with a video she posted a few years ago. She said she's been a life long victim of racism and this country is systemically racist. She is a Democrat plant.

Why is it a big red flag? Consider Oz who is Turkish, Muslim, dual citizenship, served in the Turkish military and Erdogan is practically a terrorist. Consider McCormick, who last I checked had some deep ties to Communist China. If I were Barnette, I wouldn't promise to support them either!

This PA race is interesting. Oz is every bit the chance voters would risk with Barnette. BTW, Jeb Bush took his toys and went home after Trump beat the pants off him. Nobody went after him one time for not being a team player. George Pee Bush never has received scorn for running against a hard-working, true conservative Republican INCUMBENT Attorney General. The TX GOP leaders harrumphed all over the place at Colonel Allen West challenging our (weak) incumbent Governor Abbott. The GOP has one set of standards for the Ivy League friends of theirs they want in their club and always another for the less wealthy, less well-connected they do want in their Senate. Those who think Oz will sail to easy victory in the general might have a surprise coming too. I am not a huge Barnette fan but I have read there are not a few PA conservatives who love Trump but dislike yet another Senate seat being bought because they can. The Republicans must win and there are again no courageous choices we can have a lot of confidence in.

Inflation barreled ahead at 8.3% in April
from a year ago, remaining near 40-year highs

Posted by shalimar 5/11/2022 8:43:47 AM Post Reply
Inflation rose again in April, continuing a climb that has pushed consumers to the brink and is threatening the economic expansion, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of prices for goods and services, increased 8.3% from a year ago, higher than the Dow Jones estimate for an 8.1% gain. Removing volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI still rose 6.2%, against expectations for a 6% gain. Inflation has been the single biggest threat to a recovery that began early in the pandemic and saw the economy in 2021 stage its biggest single-year growth level since 1984.

Officials formally declared a convicted German sex offender as a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. Christian Brueckner was officially named as a suspect in the toddler’s 2007 disappearance but has not been charged with a crime, according to The Times. Portuguese prosecutors issued a statement on Thursday: “As part of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007, a person was made a suspect on Wednesday.” In 2020, German police named Brueckner as a person of interest for the first time in connection with the case.

Hunter Biden’s closest business partner made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015, including a sitdown with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing. Visitor logs from the White House of former President Barack Obama reviewed by The Post cast further doubt over Joe Biden’s claims that he knew nothing of his son’s dealings. Eric Schwerin met with Vice President Biden on November 17, 2010 in the West Wing, when he was the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners.

David Bonola, the handyman arrested in the grisly murder of Queens mother Orsolya Gaal, had been living in the United States in violation of immigration law when he was arrested, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday. Bonola moved to the United States from Mexico 21 years ago, police officials said Thursday. They would not comment regarding the 44-year-old's immigration status at the time. But two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Bonola was in the country in violation of immigration law. Details of whether he entered the U.S. legally were not immediately available.

Prices that consumers pay on everyday items surged in March to their highest levels since the early days of the Reagan administration, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday. The consumer price index, which measures a wide-ranging basket of goods and services, jumped 8.5% from a year ago on an unadjusted basis, above even the already elevated Dow Jones estimate for 8.4%. Excluding food and energy, the CPI increased 6.5%, in line with the expectation. The data reflected price increases not seen in the U.S. since the stagflation days of the late 1970s and early ’80s.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who President Biden nominated to the Supreme Court to become the first ever Black female justice, admitted Tuesday that she could not recall the basis for the infamous Dred Scott decision, which in 1857 said that a Black person whose ancestors had been slaves could not be an American citizen. The case came up during Jackson’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday, when she faced questioning from Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. Cornyn brought up the concept of substantive due process, a legal doctrine utilized to expand the Constitution’s due process clause to protect various rights not enumerated in the Constitution.

President Joe Biden will nominate federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, which would make her the first black woman on the high court's bench should she be confirmed by the Senate. Breyer announced his retirement last month after 28 years on the Supreme Court, effective when the current term ends this summer. That paved the way for Biden to fulfill his 2020 campaign promise of nominating a black woman as a Supreme Court justice.

Eli Lilly and a Chinese partner called Innovent believe the drug, known as Tyvyt or sintilimab, could extend the lives of those suffering with late-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and be more affordable than other treatments. The clinical trial patients were Asian because the trial was conducted in China.

Discussing President Joe Biden’s reaction to the shooting, Sharpton said, “If this does not make the White House say, wait a minute, we need to call in leaders from all these communities, and we need to send a signal that we are antithetical to Donald Trump’s presidency about that there is fine people on both sides

For those who scoff that Florida’s new education law bans “non-existent” gender indoctrination, let the tale of Fairfax County, Virginia serve as a wake-up call. Fairfax County’s school board has long prided itself on leading the way for the nation in cutting-edge education policy and curriculum. As the tenth-largest district in the nation, it holds disproportionate sway over other school boards. In 2015, the Fairfax school board blindsided parents with changes to its non-discrimination policy, followed by a sweeping expansion of the sex-ed curriculum and new rules governing student offenses and penalties.
