State Rep. James Talarico Topples Rep.
Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democrat Senate Primary
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/4/2026 1:15:11 AM
Texas state Rep. James Talarico secured a victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, overturning weeks of polling that had shown the Dallas congresswoman with a significant advantage in the race to determine the party’s nominee in the 2026 contest for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn. Recent polling ahead of the March 3 primary showed Crockett leading. A University of Texas at Tyler poll conducted Feb. 13–22 surveyed 1,117 registered voters and 959 likely voters and found Crockett with 55 percent support compared to Talarico’s 37 percent, outside the poll’s 3.2-point margin of error

A left-wing activist network is training liberals how to slip onto juries in federal cases and then vote “not guilty” to derail prosecutions brought by the Trump Justice Department.
Recordings and training materials tied to the group Freedom Trainers show activists being coached on how to conceal their left-wing views during jury selection and then use jury nullification once they are seated on a jury. The webinars, slide decks, and pamphlets behind the effort all push the same approach: Blend in during selection, say the right things to get seated, and use the jury room to block convictions.

Gracie Mansion Days After Oct. 7 Praise
Controversy Hits 0 replies
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided that one of the most controversial figures tied to the anti-Israel protest movement belongs inside the official residence of the mayor of New York City.
Last night, Mamdani welcomed Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil and his family to Gracie Mansion for an iftar dinner marking the one-year anniversary of Khalil’s detention by federal authorities. The mayor did not treat the moment as a quiet religious gathering or a private meeting between acquaintances. He turned the dinner into a political statement and broadcast it publicly.
Country Joe, RIP

It had been a long time since I had thought about Country Joe and the Fish, until I saw Joe McDonald’s obituary in the New York Times. McDonald died recently at age 84, having pursued an obscure career as a solo artist after the breakup of the Fish.
Country Joe and the Fish were associated with the anti-Vietnam War movement, with their best-known song being “I Feel Like I’m Fixin’to Die Rag”:
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,

"This is not 2003," Pete Hegseth declared at a press conference this morning. The days of nebulous missions and nation-building are "dead," the Secretary of War emphasized while promising to put all resources and efforts into winning the conflict with Iran rather than managing not to lose it.
If anyone doubts that resolve, Hegseth challenged, wait to see what Day 10 of the war shows. He promised the most intense attacks on the Iranian regime yet, while noting the "bifurcation" of the regime's responses: The Wall Street Journal noticed a message change from yesterday, perhaps prompted by the Iranians. Yesterday, Donald Trump suggested that he might be open
Dumbest Story of the Day
2 replies
I've seen some stupid reporting in my time.
Not to mention lots and lots and LOTS of propaganda, hoaxes, and BS leaks meant to shape the information battlefield against common sense.
But seriously, this story has to be one of the stupidest of the...day? week? Certainly not of the month, because CNN or MSNOW has probably broadcast that, or The New York Times has printed it. Still, this is amazingly stupid. The Daily Mail wants you to believe that a US Navy E-6B Mercury command and control aircraft flying eastward toward Europe is a warning that we are inching closer to World War III.
A brand new poll NBC conducted between February 27 and March 3 that surveyed 1,000 registered voters will likely have Democrats blowing steam out of their ears, as it concluded that President Donald Trump is more popular than many of his most virulent critics. The list includes late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Given that Trump has done a stellar job sticking to his America First agenda and has kept most of his campaign promises, this probably will not shock average voters. Only those whom major media outlets have brainwashed—outlets that dropped any pretense of actual,
It's Defend Talarico Day at the NY Times

James Talarico is the Democrats' latest Beto O'Rourke, another attempt to get a leftist elected in Texas. Today the NY Times has a new article doing its best to defend Talarico from his critics, including letting him walk back some of his own public statements. Here's how the story opens:
James Talarico, in one of his first interviews since winning the Democratic nomination for Senate in Texas, attacked the use of Christianity to promote conservative politics, saying his candidacy was part of a broader mission to counter what he sees as a partisan takeover of the American church.
Mr. Talarico, a state legislator and seminary student, used unsparing language
On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said President Donald Trump had not made the case for the military action in Iran.
Warner said, “Americans are paying $122 million a day extra in gas coming right out of their pockets, that, combined with the declining job numbers, that combined with the stock market crashing, going into this war without I don’t feel like the appropriate preparation or having made the case the American public, I think we’ve got a lot of explaining to do. We don’t know how long Iran will last. The notion and I heard the general earlier, I think
IDF sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Saturday night that the air force has attacked significant oil resources in the Tehran region of Iran.
According to the sources, the oil resources being attacked are directly connected to Iran's military industrial complex. It was unclear what distinctions the IDF would make in such attacks regarding differing oil sites, but there was a clear effort by the sources to emphasize the military nature of the sites, which might otherwise be framed as harming Iran's economic power more broadly, even if a new regime might later take over.
A loud explosion was heard near the US embassy in Oslo, Norway, on Saturday, sparking fears of an attack amid the ongoing Iran conflict. The Norwegian police confirmed the news of the explosion. No injuries have been reported in the incident thus far. “The police are in a dialogue with the embassy and there are no reports of any injured persons,” the Oslo police department said, as per Reuters. A cause for the explosion was not immediately clear but it sparked fears of an attack, amid the ongoing Iran conflict.

Unknown individuals within Mexico’s Navy provided restricted weapons, tactical gear, and body armor to members of the terrorist organization Cartel Jalisco New Generation. The revelation comes from a former cartel hitman who revealed to authorities in April 2025 that he personally went to pick up stashed weapons for the criminal organization.
The information is based on the written statements made by El Elegante, a code name given to a protected witness by Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office. Mexico’s Reforma first published some of El Elegante’s statements this week, revealing that the weapons and gear that cartel gunmen used would often come straight from Mexican Navy warehouses.

One of the many idiotic stunts Democrats pulled during the State of the Union address in late February was to proudly announce they were inviting illegal immigrants to President Trump's speech.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called out three of them on X shortly before the event started: Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), and Rep. Seth Moulton (MA-06).
Regarding Moulton's "guest," DHS wrote that "@RepMoulton plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva. Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump.
Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off.
“Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black,
Iran sent out a possible “operational trigger” to activate “sleeper assets” abroad after the war with America and Israel began, according to an encrypted message intercepted by the US.
The coded signal was sent out following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, with the message appearing to hold instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets,” ABC News reported, citing a federal alert sent to law enforcement agencies.
The message could “be intended to activate or provide instructions to prepositioned sleeper assets operating outside the originating country,” the alert warned.
Back in February, the U.K. said dogs were an obstacle to its latest diversity scheme, namely turning the "too white" English countryside into a more "diverse" (read: Islamic) place to live. Not long after, a Muslim in New York said she was glad the city was "coming to Islam" when it came to dogs.
Islam believes dogs are filthy and they're haram in many places, of course. But people in the West love their dogs, and the pet industry in the U.K. makes over £10 billion. In the U.S., that figure is $157 billion for 2025. Most of that is driven by dog ownership, so of course the politicians can't come
It's saddening what is becoming of the once-Great Britain. While American and Israeli forces are resolving a 47-year-old problem by the suitable application of high explosives, while the United States literally flew into a hostile, totalitarian South American regime in the middle of the night and nabbed their thug-dictator who was wanted by the American justice system, the British Army is debating whether soldiers - male soldiers, mind you - should be allowed to style their hair, and to wear makeup and fingernail polish. No, this isn't a Monty Python sketch. It's real.

A Canadian parliament debates legislation to criminalize supposed hate speech, comments against "gender ideology" in the curriculum have already cost a former British Columbia school board member the equivalent of more than half a million U.S. dollars.
A nurse who got kicked out of her own union for gender-critical views said the verdict against ex-Chilliwack Board of Education trustee Barry Neufeld shows "I do not have a snowball’s chance in hell" before the same quasi-judicial body.
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered Neufeld to pay $750,000 Canadian to all LGBTQ-identified members of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association for "injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect," citing discrimination in employment, hate speech

Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands 18 replies
The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.
The Liberal Democrats want Sir Keir Starmer to prevent the King visiting the United States next month over Donald Trump's criticism of the British response on Iran.
The monarch and Queen Camilla are reported to be planning to meet the US president in a state visit at the end of April.
But Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said the visit should not go ahead, as it would hand a "huge diplomatic coup" to Trump during US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Downing Street has declined to comment, telling reporters on Monday that a visit is yet to be confirmed.

The United Nations is having a budget crisis. It might have to lay off part of its staff. No one should be brokenhearted over this. It should instead be cause for celebration. The U.N. is nothing more than a parasite leeching off the American taxpayer while propping up dictators, terrorists, and every left-wing crackpot scheme ever dreamed up. It should be dissolved.
Earlier this year, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres “sent a dramatic letter to” member states to warn them “about the ‘imminent financial collapse'” of the organization, says the Global Policy Forum of Europe. “The letter
Political commentator Meghan McCain has built a career that began with a powerful advantage: her last name. The daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), stepped into the national political conversation for decades because of her father's legacy.
Meghan McCain never hid that connection, and she's defended her father's record with fierce loyalty since he died in 2018.
Despite my thoughts about Meghan, her loyalty deserves respect; a daughter defending her father is hardly controversial, while she protects what she believes was an honorable legacy tied to her father's military service and Senate career.
McCain, however, found his political decisions drifted away from conservative principles
In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.
This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.
“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed he and President Trump will do whatever it takes to topple the Iranian regime – and didn’t rule out sending US ground troops into Tehran as Operation Epic Fury rages on.
“We’re willing to go as far as we need in order to be successful,” Hegseth told CBS News’s Major Garrett during a “60 Minutes” sit-down interview that aired Sunday night.
“We reserve the right. We would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or not boots on the ground.”
