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.
Does sincere means she is qualified?
“Mark Levin ... was critical of Trump in the beginning.
“Critical”? Is that what that was? Just “critical”?
Indeed. This is a no-win situation. But of course if we nominate Barnette, and she loses (as Oz also would) McConnell et al will blame the "MAGA fanatics" for the loss.
Slightly off topic ... anyone else have Hannity on today? Some gal Rose is filling in and it’s just a Get Out The Vote For The Turkish Muslim Show. The whole thing. My local station only plays 2 hours of Hannity so it’s over now, but I had to leave it on to see how long she’d go on about Oz being the only candidate who can win. I don’t get it. Preisent Trump is not always right and Hannity seldom is.
ROAR!!!

There is much to question about her. She said she was an adjunct professor. But doesn’t remember much about being an adjunct.
Having taught as an adjunct for many years I can say this is very suspicious. When you achieve certain things in life you tend to remember them very clearly. Being hired as an adjunct is a special moment in your life. It’s not the same as your wedding day or when your child was born but it is very special. You just don’t forget that day. She could not even remember what state she taught in.
This woman is a fraud and a fake. She has already lost a congressional election by 19 points and I have seen the video of her telling her supporters that if someone refuses a palm card for her campaign imply they are doing so because they are racists.
Then there are the several tweets attacking Trump and using slurred against gays and other minorities.
The oppo researchers for the Democrat will eat her up and she will be finished by early October.
Don’t fall for the hype for this fraud. BTW you cannot find a hit piece on her on google -why?
BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS WANT HER TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE!!
I would vote for a living over Dr. Oz and McCormick any day of the weekend
“Tell me when Kathy went on a nationwide radio show and screamed at the top of her lungs that Trump was a phony, a con, a womanizer, a crook, etc. every day throughout the entire election cycle.”
I see that hyperbole and exaggeration are among your many talents.
And wTHC who Levin’s kid worked for?
“Critical”? Is that what that was? Just “critical”?
Yes. I see you can read a dictionary.
Or if they win election, will proceed to collect the payoff in DC.
The man behind the curtain behind Hannity is Karl Rove. Tells me a lot about the Terrible Turk.
Of course Dr. Oz cannot win the general election.
That doesn’t mean that this nut job Barnette can win it, either.
If it’s down to those two, the seat flips to the Democrats. And you know what? If the only other contender is a Bushite neocon, I don’t care - not one little bit.
Yep
And he wasted absurd amounts of time and money doing it, for no benefit.
Why do you care if a Republican gets black or Hispanic votes? Does that make winning more legitimate?
Suppose there were a candidate who got 90% of the white vote (it's a thought exercise). That candidate would, of course, never lose.
Now suppose further that, in winning, that candidate got zero black and zero Hispanic votes (again, it's just a thought exercise).
Would you have a problem with that?
Thanks for the first hand account. I hope she’s real and wins.
heads up
Ah, Rove. That’s right. Thanks.
Great analysis. Thanks.
Very true, but that’s OK, too. If the Rs lose PA, they will need two wins and it appears at the moment, Nevada is very possible as is Georgia and Arizona and a great night would also include NH flipping, so the Rs can still take the Senate and the reward is McConnell as Majority Leader.
I listened to Levin every day for years up until Trump’s first run for the presidency.
I enjoyed his show until he went crazy and ranted and ranted about Trump every day. It became unbearable. It was as if he had become unhinged.
Then we find out why he was so against Trump and in favor of Cruz: His fiancee’s kid worked in Cruz’s senate office.
Research it.
I guess you didn’t listen to him back then. You most certainly would not have forgotten how obnoxious he was and how obsessed he was with Trump.
