PA poll shows surprise outcome between Oz and Fedder[wo]man

The latests poll by 1.013 likely voters conducted between October 9 to 13 by the research firm Wick, indicated that Dr. Mehmet Oz  (R) has a lead of 4.5 points over John Fetterman (D). Oz is a celebrity heart surgeon and Fetterman is a supports defunding the police and supporting Black Lives Matter. 

But in spite of black lives mattering, in 2013 he pulled a shotgun on an innocent unarmed black jogger and falsely accused the man of firing shots, which then began a confrontation with police.

Anyway, the poll shows that Oz may be breaking through a polling wall, as he has been behind Fetterman in polling for most of the cycle because voters haven't caught on that Fetterman is nothing more than Joe Biden in a hoodie.

According to the poll, Oz leads Fetterman 49.1%-44.6%. An additional 3.4% are voting for someone else, and 2.9% are undecided or are too busy on their phones. Among those undecided voters, Oz has a sizable lead, 59%-41%.

If Oz wins that would break Fetterman's heart, but Oz can fix it. But as Babylon Bee had headlined, Oz and Fetterman are neck and neck and neck.

The poll also showed that Republican Doug Mastriano is within the margin of error against Democrat Josh [not Ben] Shapiro in the Pennsylvania Governor’s race. Shapiro leads Mastriano 48.5%-46.4%; that number is well within the poll’s 3.1% margin of error. Mastriano also holds a slight lead among undecided voters; 50.9% of undecideds break for Mastriano, while 49.1% break for Shapiro.

Dr, Oz is also gaining a significant amount of support from the black community. While most Republicans have garnered about 20% of black support, Oz has achieved some 30% support. 

However, when asked by the media if he believes he can still win the race, Fetterman blinked twice for 'yes.'

John Fetter[wo]man interviewed: answers in code

In interview with MSNBC's Dasha Burns, Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetter[wo]man reportedly needed to use a special closed captioning device to assist with his understanding of the words being said to him. It is unclear if the US Senate will provide Mr. Fetter[wo]man with the same device when he attends session, but it would be a great idea that they do, should the voters of Pennsylvania elect a person who makes Joe Biden seem somewhat more lucid than him. Of course, the possibility that Fetter[wo]man can win is real as he is running against Mehmet Oz, a TV physician who believes in abortion, says he does not any longer, and has hawked questionable products on the boob tube.

But without the magic of technology, John Fetter[wo]man would not be able to follow a normal conversation. For example, if someone asked, "Do you believe that Russia would employ tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine?" he might instead hear: "Russia believes you do employ nuclear testicles against Ukraine." 

This would pose a real problem for the nation.

Although the media tends to give cover for Democrats and their nominees, Dasha Burns, to her credit, provided a more honest take on Fetter[wo]man's brain damage; and coming from MSNBC, this is truly amazing. She admitted that he "wasn't clear he was understanding the conservation." 

The 30-minute interview in question can be here, and you can decide for yourself if this guy should be running for public office. A shorter clip of the interview can be viewed on Twitter from the tweet below:

So if he's losing the media [aka the Left] he might lose the election, and his current lead is shrinking.

Remember, Fetterman said that he wants to decrease the prison population substantially. He is soft on crime and sympathetic to criminals and not their victims.

If the guy is using a computer [as you can plainly see on the video] who can say whether he's getting input on the device with answers?

Like politicians everywhere, he is using his stroke as a positive incident claiming that it gives him insight to be a more "empathetic" person, but he even had difficulty getting the word 'empathetic' out of his mouth as he stumbled over it many times. Had he been a crime victim, that may have provided him with empathy for those people rather than the criminals he seems to care about so much.

He is refusing to provide any media with his current medical records and this should be seen as a serious problem.

Fetter[wo]man says he's a friend of Israel: he says a lot of s***

Pennsylvania's Lt. General John "Buttneck" Fetterman is campaigning for the US Senate and is pretending to harbor "unwavering" support for Israel in order to secure the Jewish vote. But like many on the Left, Fetterman is full of crap--he operates a nonprofit that hosted an anti-Israel/anti-Semitic art exhibit demonizing Israel as an "apartheid state," and spread slanderous lies about the Jewish State.

In 2012 Fetterman, who also panders to women by calling himself 'Fetterwoman,' hosted an exhibit titled "I Am Palestine." It featured what was called an apartheid wall that condemns the 440-mile barrier Israel built separating Israel from Palestinian suicide bombers in the West Bank after about 700 Israelis were murdered by these jihadis. Evidently Fetterwoman thinks Israel, like former President Trump and many Americans, should not provide their country with security from unknown actors who may wish them harm.

The anti-Semitic artists featured in the exhibit claimed in a statement accompanying the project that Israel built the wall "under the guise of security while stealing more Palestinian land and resources." And yet without a wall, more Israelis would be easy targets for the hate-filled Islamists on the other side who make non-historical claims--the Jews have occupied the land of Israel since Old Testament days, before the existence of Islam, a religion that preaches anti-Semitism.

So while Fetter[wo]man claims on the campaign trail his support of "strengthening and enhancing the security of Israel," his exhibit proves the exact opposite is true. He has even bragged about his endorsement from Peace Action, which is an anti-war group that promotes the Boycott Divest and Sanction movement of Israel and urged diplomatic ties with Iran, the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. Mehmet Oz, the Republican candidate running against Fedder[wo]man says that his opponent is "no friend of Israel," and he's clearly correct.

Fedder[wo]man's campaign claims that he "is and always has been a pro-Israel Democrat."

Hogwash.

Fetterman’s gallery had commissioned a mural in 2008 entitled "Three Boys Living in the Shadow of the Separation Wall" from an artist, Swoon, who is a prominent anti-Israel/anti-Semitic activist and has called for a cultural boycott of the Jewish state.

One of the artists featured in the 2012 exhibit, Karina Goulordava, served at the time as vice president of the University of Pittsburgh chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a group that "disseminates anti-Israel propaganda often laced with inflammatory and at times combative rhetoric," according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The student group typically uses apartheid walls at its anti-Israel rallies "depicting Israel alone as responsible for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," the ADL says.

Fetterman launched UnSmoke Systems in 2008 as an affiliate of Braddock Redux, a charity he founded with support from his father, a wealthy insurance executive who supported his deadbeat son well into his 40s. 

Fetterman recently suffered a stroke and the symptoms of its effects on his thinking and verbal abilities is obvious in his campaign speeches. He also typically wears a hoodie to cover up a huge lump on the back of his neck which may have additional medical implications.

On the other hand, Dr. Oz, his opponent, has a political ideology that is clearly not in line with conservative ideas, such as his stance on abortion, which vacillates according to the way the wind blows. However, Oz is obviously the lesser of the two evils and hopefully will take the Senate seat.

GOP Senate Candidate Kathy Barnette lied about her military service, records show

Republican Senate candidate for Pennsylvania Kathy Barnette apparently lied about her military service record as far back as five years ago. [H/T Daily Caller]

Barnette, a FOX News contributor, veteran and businesswoman, shows her polling in second or third place in a crowded field, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, and former Bridgewater CEO David McCormick. She tried to align herself with former President Trump and portrays herself as a conservative outsider, but the former President is endorsing Oz. 

Barnette was the GOP nominee for Pennsylvania's Fourth District and lost by 19 points to Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean.

She had emphasized her military service and in interviews in 2017, but her facts are questionable.

According to her campaign website, “Kathy served her country proudly for 10 years in the Armed Forces Reserves where she was accepted into Officer Candidacy School.” But there is no such branch as the "Armed Forces Reserves."

There's the Army National Guard of the United States, the Army Reserve, the Navy Reserve, the Marine Corps Reserve, the Air National Guard of the United States, the Coast Guard Reserve, and the Air Force Reserve--just not an Armed Forces Reserves, according to the military.com website.

Overall, Barnette had claimed that she served for 10 years in the U.S. military at least 13 times, a Daily Caller review found. However, records released by the candidate to investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky show that she served in the Army National Guard from 1993-1998, and in the Army Reserve from 1998-2000. Do the math: that = 7 yrs.

Notably, the record Barnette released is an NGB-22, which is issued to a National Guard service-member upon discharge. But it's the DD214 that shows one's military information such as rank, service medals and deployments, and she hasn't provided it to the media after it had been requested.

“Kathy J. Barnette 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,” spokesperson Madison Bonzo said in a statement. “Kathy J. Barnette also served in the Army Reserve as a Human Resource Specialist (71L/42A) from 1998 to 2000.”

There is nothing indicating that she was accepted into Officer Candidate School (OCS).

Barnette claimed that she entered the military in 1990 and exited in 2000, leaving with honorable discharges.

“As soon as I got home from Elk County, and I mean, no one walks around with their records in their back pocket. So I did give them my information, pull it out, take pictures, and I started sending it to all the media outlets.”

Her comments were in reference to a report from the Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito, who wrote on Wednesday that the Barnette campaign refused to answer basic questions about the candidate’s biography. Barnette’s campaign manager reportedly hung up on a Washington Free Beacon reporter who also requested the DD214.

The Barnette campaign did not respond to multiple requests from the Daily Caller for comment and her DD214.

Releasing DD214s and other supporting information is common practice for candidates with military service records. McCormick, a Gulf War veteran, provided his DD214 when contacted for comment by the Daily Caller. The fact that Barnette has not, does not bode well for her.

Barnette is not the only candidate in the GOP primary to face questions about prior military experience. Oz served in the Turkish army for several years in the 1980s to maintain his dual citizenship, and his connections to the Erdogan regime have drawn scrutiny from other candidates and the Armenian-American expatriate community. His stance about abortion is basically closer to pro-choice than to pro-life one, but he has been wishy-washy about this issue since deciding to run for political office.

Personally, McCormick seems like the most conservative and best candidate of the three, but that's just my opinion.
