Mrs. Barnette is soaring in the Pennsylvania polls because of the views she expresses and the charming, forceful way she expresses them but the question is if she is sincere. We think she is. She’s running for the Senate against millions of dollars and powerful politicos. One thing is certain, she is not an establishment operative and appears very sincere. She is from Pennsylvania. The two top runners are not.
We posted a video by Greg Kelly of Newsmax about Kathy Barnette, but it looks like he could be wrong. Mr. Kelly is very concerned about her sincerity, suggesting she’s not who she says she is.
When she was younger, she sounded a bit WOKE and she has also talked about systemic racism. We believe systemic racism is a concept manufactured by the white WOKEs who use black Americans to push the country further left. However, there certainly is a problem with racism.
One of the questions Greg Kelly had with her was her military record as written on her website. While her service wasn’t ten years as she said, it’s close – it’s 8. She just rounded it up. It’s sincere enough.
Breitbart News queried the Army for a service record, and National Guard spokesman Kurt Rauschenberg responded on Tuesday:
Kathy J. Barnett served in the Alabama Army National Guard from September 1993 to March 1998. Her primary military occupational specialty was 63S, Heavy-Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, and she attained the rank of Specialist. Her last unit with the ARNG was the 778th Maintenance Company, Alabama Army National Guard.
On Wednesday afternoon, Barnette released three pages of military records to several reporters. The records appeared to show that Barnette joined the Army National Guard as an administrative specialist in 1990.
The records say she obtained the rank of E-4 two years later on August 8, 1992, and began serving with the Alabama Army National Guard on September 24, 1993, where she served for four years and two months. The forms say she was honorably discharged on December 5, 1997, and that her official Expiration Term of Service (ETS), or contract with the Alabama Army National Guard, officially expired on April 24, 1998.
On her website, she wrote that she served in the Armed Forces Reserves and there isn’t a branch by that name. One of my readers said she’s new to this and it’s common for newbies to word the website poorly. Fair enough.
FEARS SHE CAN’T WIN Donald Trump has a problem with her in that he doesn’t think she can win in a general election. However, Dr. Oz’s unfavorables are high and he is a risk in a general election. We just watched Alex Mooney – slated not to win – take his district by 19%. Donald Trump says David McCormick is a McConnell operative. If a sincere MAGA lady has a chance, she has one now.
J.D. Rucker posted an article about her, criticizing Hannity for trying to cancel her and he made some great points. I STAND FIRMLY BESIDE @KATHY4TRUTH BECAUSE UNLIKE @DROZ, SHE IS NOT A GLOBALIST RINO WHO HAS RECENTLY SUPPORTED ABORTION, GUN CONTROL, AND CHILD TRANSGENDERISM.
SHE HAS NOT SERVED IN THE TURKISH MILITARY.
SHE IS NOT PALS WITH KLAUS SCHWAB, MARINA ABRAMOVIC, OR JUSSIE SMOLLETT.

Mr. Rucker notes that one of the lies going around is that she lied about her university position That’s debunked. She was sincere about that.
HEY @JACKPOSOBIEC @JDRUCKER – JUST SPOKE WITH THE HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING AT JUDSON UNIVERSITY IN ILLINOIS. SHE CONFIRMED THAT @KATHY4TRUTH WAS AN ADJUNCT AT THE SCHOOL. PERHAPS FOLKS SHOULD CONSIDER FACT-CHECKING BEFORE SLINGING MUD.

You can watch her interview here and decide if she’s sincere and electable in a general election. It’s up to Pennsylvania voters and we don’t know what people should do. However, I would be very disappointed if she isn’t who she says she is. We like her.
We usually don’t weigh in on primaries.
I think she’s sincere too.
Greg Kelly was a total jerk about her. Wonder how much Dr Wiz pays for commercials on his program.
Why does Jack Posobeic have to call a college to verify her?? She ran for Congress before. She filed as a listed candidate for Senate, and has raised money. Why can’t she provide evidence of her past claims herself? Something is quite odd about this woman. I despite Sean Vanity and think he is a literal deep state traitor. But I am very concerned this woman will be another Akin or O’Donnell catastrophic loser. Oz is unacceptable, so I am not sure where that leaves us. NOT in a good place.
Well, compared to her rivals.
How can this be?? newsmax, Hannity and the all of the swamp tell me she’s the devil incarnate…
Eats babies
Listens to nickel back
Puts ketchup on her eggs….
Go Barnette!
So much controversy over her. Greg Kelly thinks she is a phony and the push for her is from the left b/c they think she’ll be easy to beat.
Even PDJT is a no for her and a + for orca wimpfree’$ pal moohamhand oz.
I think she’s sincere too.
Possibly, although I recall learning in University “once you can fake sincerity, everything else is easy.” If she is not what she seems, then I fall back to a bumper sticker seen in Florida in late 2000 “If God had meant for us to vote, he would have given us candidates.”
Why the love on here for Barnette? I thought everybody hates Mark Levin because he was critical of Trump in the beginning. Why the double standard?
The Bush League is pulling out the stops to get people to not vote for her.
I hope she wins.
in a way she’s like Trump was. her very existence is outing her attackers as gope trolls and party firsters.

Cause levin is pimping neo con bs such as “you’re anti american if you’re against the us intervening in ukraine”
They were democrat leaning, but Trump asked them what the democrats have done for them in the last several decades.
These people are not picture perfect candidates, with the ivy league education and country club membership. Saying all the right things perfectly on social media or elsewhere. Great resumes with exciting career advancement. Politically savvy in everything they say and do.
> Hannity and the all of the swamp tell me she’s the devil incarnate…
If she is, she’s still better than Oz.
“Cause levin is pimping neo con bs such as “you’re anti american if you’re against the us intervening in ukraine”
You’re certainly correct about Levin’s war mongering. But people here had a hate on for Levin long before the Ukraine invasion.
It’s great to advocate for a war, when it ain’t your azz being shot off. All the talking heads are all cowboy hats with no cattle.
