How can you fight Trump

**Ty Masterson is the strong favorite to win the Republican primary.**

### Current Standing (as of late May 2026)
- **Polymarket betting odds** (crowd-sourced prediction market): Masterson ~38%, former Gov. Jeff Colyer ~35%, **Philip Sarnecki ~8%**, others lower. This was *before* today's big news.
- The primary is August 4, 2026 — still ~2.5 months away, so things can shift, but momentum matters hugely.

### Key Factors Favoring Masterson
- **Fresh Trump endorsement** (today, May 24): Trump posted a strong endorsement on Truth Social, pairing Masterson with Sen. Roger Marshall. Trump endorsements are extremely powerful in GOP primaries, especially in red states like Kansas. This is massive free media + signaling to voters.
- **Established name ID and elected experience**: Current Kansas Senate President (since 2021), long-time state senator from Andover. He has a track record of winning elections (e.g., 65%+ in recent races). He's a known quantity among Republican activists and legislators.
- **Institutional support**: Backed by key GOP figures, including now Trump + Marshall. He's positioned as a conservative with legislative wins on taxes, energy, etc.

### Sarnecki's Position
- **Self-funded outsider**: He's poured ~$2M+ of his own money into the race (biggest cash-on-hand early on) and runs as a successful businessman/financial exec attacking "career politicians" — classic Trump-style messaging (see your images).
- Strong on social media in some circles (especially among those frustrated with the KS GOP establishment) and has some grassroots energy, but it hasn't translated to broad polling strength yet.
- Lower name recognition statewide compared to Masterson or Colyer.

### Social Media Popularity
- **Masterson** is dominating right now — especially post-endorsement. X is full of news shares, quotes of Trump's post, and celebratory reactions from Kansas conservatives.
- **Sarnecki** has dedicated supporters who like the "true outsider/businessman" pitch (some posts explicitly preferring him over Masterson as too "establishment"), but the volume is noticeably lower. Your provided images show solid campaign creative from his side, but it's not moving the needle as much as Trump's backing.

### In Kansas Overall
Kansas is a strong Republican state (Trump won it big multiple times), but it has a history of preferring experienced conservatives in statewide races over pure outsiders. Masterson checks the "proven conservative leader" box while now having the Trump seal of approval. Sarnecki's big money helps with ads, but overcoming the endorsement + experience gap this late is tough — similar dynamics have played out in other states.

**Bottom line / best guess**: Masterson wins the primary (probably 35-45% in a fragmented field). Sarnecki could consolidate some anti-establishment votes and finish in the top 3-4 if his spending is effective, but he's a clear underdog. The Trump endorsement today likely sealed it unless something dramatic happens. The general election against the Dem nominee should be very winnable for the GOP nominee.

Home remedy

Using Vicks VapoRub, baking soda, and lemon juice for toenail fungus is a popular home remedy that may work for mild cases, though it requires long-term, consistent application (often 6–12 months) to see results. 

• Vicks VapoRub: Contains thymol, menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus oil, which have demonstrated antifungal properties. A small 2011 study found that daily application resulted in partial or full clearance for many participants over 48 weeks. 
• Baking Soda: While it doesn't directly kill fungus, it acts as an antifungal agent that can prevent growth and helps neutralize odor. 
• Lemon Juice: Provides citric acid, which has mild antifungal and antiseptic properties, though it is not strong enough to penetrate deep infections alone. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]  

How to Use this Combination 

• Paste Method: Mix baking soda and lemon juice to create a paste, apply it, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, rinse, and then apply Vicks VapoRub. 
• Daily Application: Consistently apply Vicks VapoRub to the affected nail daily, preferably covering with a sock for better absorption. [1, 3, 11, 12]  

Limitations and Considerations 

• Slow Results: Toenail fungus is difficult to treat; this method takes months for the nail to grow out completely. 
• Limited Scientific Evidence: While some studies show promise, home remedies lack the rigorous testing of prescription treatments. 
• Best for Mild Cases: It is less likely to work for moderate to severe, thickened, or long-standing infections. 
• Risk of Irritation: Lemon juice can irritate surrounding skin. [2, 6, 8, 13, 14]  

For faster or more effective results on moderate-to-severe infections, consulting a podiatrist for over-the-counter or prescription options is recommended. [13, 14]

 Philip Sarnecki (full name R. Philip Sarnecki) is a 2026 Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas, running in the primary on August 4, 2026. He is a self-described political outsider, businessman, and family man emphasizing conservative values, economic growth, and a results-oriented approach to government.

Early Life and Background

Sarnecki was born in Illinois and grew up in a blue-collar household as the son of a janitor (Robert "Bob" Sarnecki) and a secretary. His family emphasized faith, hard work, and perseverance despite limited financial means—his parents were married for 56 years. He has siblings Todd and Katie.

He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and finance. He has remained connected to his alma mater, including a notable $350,000 family gift (with wife Heidi) toward the Susan and Clint Atkins Baseball Training Center.

Career and Business Achievements

Sarnecki built a successful career in financial services and other industries:

  • Founded RPS Financial Group, Inc. (around 2008) and grew it into one of the nation’s largest financial services firms. It expanded to 18 offices (12 in Kansas), served clients in all 50 states, built trust with ~100,000 Kansans, and managed over $10 billion in Kansas assets. In its final year under his ownership, it paid out more than $135 million in dividends to Kansas families and businesses. He later sold the company and retired as managing partner of the related RPS Benefits by Design/Northwestern Mutual operations earlier in the 2020s.
  • Other businesses: Largest franchise owner of Strickland Brothers quick lubes (locations in Andover, El Dorado, Derby, Pittsburg, Fort Scott, Independence, etc.). Also involved in automotive, leadership, employee benefits, and real estate.
  • Film production: Part-owner of 513 Films, involved in projects featuring actors like Mel Gibson, Kevin Sorbo, Kevin James, and others, often with faith-based or family-oriented themes. Recent credit includes executive producer for the 2024 adventure horror film Monster Summer.

His companies collectively employ approximately 1,000 people across multiple industries. He has served on boards including as former chairman of Athletes in Action and past roles with Finseca and the Northwestern Mutual Managing Partners Association. He coached youth and high school baseball for nearly a decade.

Personal Life

Sarnecki lives in Bucyrus, Kansas (Johnson County area), with his wife Heidi and their three children (Ava, Emily, and Blake). They also enjoy time on their Franklin County farm. He is guided by his Christian faith and describes himself as a "Kansas Dad • Husband • Businessman."

Political Positions and Platform

Sarnecki positions himself as a Trump-aligned conservative outsider tired of Republican losses in Kansas (e.g., to Democrat Laura Kelly). He criticizes "career politicians," high taxes, red tape, "woke" policies, and government incompetence, advocating a business-minded approach.

Key priorities from his campaign site and announcements:

  • Economy/Taxes: Lower income and property taxes, provide relief for families and seniors, shred government red tape to help small businesses grow, create good-paying jobs, address high costs making housing unaffordable for young Kansans, and improve economic rankings (Kansas has lagged in some metrics).
  • Education: Restore parental rights, oppose certain "woke" influences, focus on opportunities for kids to stay and build futures in Kansas.
  • Other: Stand with President Trump, end "woke" policies in favor of merit and fairness, bring business-style accountability to government (e.g., auditing budgets for waste), support agriculture and pro-business policies.
  • Social issues: Strongly pro-life, rooted in Christian faith ("every baby is a blessing"). Opposes radical DEI policies and emphasizes traditional values.

He has pushed for action on property taxes (even suggesting a special legislative session) and criticized GOP inaction on issues like congressional redistricting.

Good Reasons to Vote for Him (Per His Campaign and Supporters)

  • Proven job creator and outsider: Extensive private-sector success demonstrates he can grow businesses and create employment—contrasted with career politicians. He self-funds significantly (e.g., $2M personal loan to his campaign) and claims strong fundraising.
  • Rooted in Kansas values: Humble beginnings, family focus, Christian faith, farm life, and community involvement (coaching, boards) appeal to conservative, working-class, and rural voters.
  • Focus on winning and results: Emphasizes turning around Republican electoral fortunes in Kansas by prioritizing affordability, taxes, jobs, and parental rights. Aligns with Trump-style populism and business pragmatism.
  • Diverse experience: Finance, franchising, film production, and mentoring bring a broad perspective.
  • Endorsements: Support from groups like Kansans for Health Freedom and figures like actor Kevin Sorbo, highlighting health freedom, religious liberty, and conservative credentials.

Campaign Context and Notes

Sarnecki entered the race in September 2025 as one of several Republicans in a crowded primary field. He has faced typical primary dynamics, including attacks from rivals (e.g., a mysterious email questioning his business practices on certain health issues, which he pushed back against).



This profile draws primarily from his official campaign materials, news coverage (e.g., Kansas Reflector, Topeka Capital-Journal, Ballotpedia), and public records. As with any candidate, voters should review his full platform, debates, and record directly, cross-reference multiple sources, and consider the broader Kansas political context for the 2026 election.


This is all drawn from reputable local outlets like the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kansas Reflector, KSNT, and WIBW, based on public records and official statements.

Yes, here's what is publicly known based on news reports and open records from 2023.

The City of Topeka officially stated that Stephen (Steve) Wade was terminated "for cause" due to an "inappropriate relationship with a subordinate" that violated city personnel policy and his employment contract.

Hannah Uhlrig Connection

Public reporting strongly links this to Hannah Uhlrig (sometimes spelled Uhlrig; the user’s "Ulrig" appears to be a close variant). She was previously the deputy public works director and was promoted by Wade in late 2022/early 2023 to director of special projects and innovation, a new role with a $125,000 salary.

  • Open records details: Teams messages, calendars, and other communications obtained via Kansas open records requests (KORA) showed Wade frequently turning to Uhlrig for personal/emotional support during his stressful final weeks. They included meetings for meals and drinks, late-night chats, and mutual encouragement. He thanked her for her company.
  • A city employee reportedly filed a complaint alleging an inappropriate relationship with Uhlrig, noting she was receiving special treatment.
  • Uhlrig left her city position shortly after Wade’s termination in July 2023.

The full investigative report (by an outside law firm) into employee complaints was not released publicly, as it involved personnel matters. No detailed public discovery documents (e.g., from a full lawsuit) exist in readily available records, as this primarily stayed at the notice-of-claim stage.

Limits on Public Details

  • No public evidence or reports describe explicit sexual acts or graphic details — coverage sticks to the city’s characterization of it as an "inappropriate relationship" (a common term for romantic/sexual involvement between a supervisor and subordinate, which often violates HR policies regardless of consent).
  • Wade’s side (via his $100M claim) framed his firing as disability discrimination related to mental health, not addressing the relationship allegations directly in public statements.

This is all drawn from reputable local outlets like the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kansas Reflector, KSNT, and WIBW, based on public records and official statements. No sealed or internal non-public files were accessed. If more court filings have emerged since 2024–2025, they might add detail, but nothing prominent shows up in current searches.
