Meet James Talarico, Radical DEI Activist
and 'Defund the Police' Promoter

Will James Talarico sell in Texas? Given his history of promoting racialism in public schools and participation in Defund the Police efforts, it's not even clear whether the Democrats' nominee for the US Senate could win Austin. Democrats have tried to package the state legislator as a centrist who can connect with Texans in the suburbs, exurbs, and rural precincts of the Lone Star State. They hope especially to push his time in a Presbyterian seminary as a way to connect to Christian voters, particularly with the controversial Ken Paxton as his Republican opponent. As the Free Beacon reported yesterday, however, Talarico has spent his political career advancing

To Talerico’s credit - no nazi tattoos on his body that the conservative news shows keep showing aka Platner’s chest and nipple. Gag me.

FTA: 'Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D.) earned tens of thousands of dollars working as an "equitable education" consultant...' I've noticed that Leftists use equity, equitable and similar equibabble because they're convinced that their followers only dimly understand what those words mean---but think they sound good. And for them, that's fine.Symbolism over Substance.

DEI, Talarico's specialty, is illegal discrimination on its face. One other thing: Back in grammar school, the boys in my class would have called Talarico a "sweet," and that term was not meant to be a compliment. His "Christianity" isn't Christian, at all. Texas will reject him. He's male, but not a man.

The only thing I can say about Talarico's candidacy is, the democrats must think they have a good shot at cheating on a massive scale in Texas to get him elected because there's no way a large majority of Texans want anything to do with this freak!

Imagine being so mentally polluted (no pun intended) by your disdain for people who disagree with your climate fanaticism that you turn them into carbon footprint monsters in their obituaries? That’s exactly what leftist media outlets did writ large upon the passing of legendary former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond. Outlets like Bloomberg News, The New York Times, the Houston Chronicle and the Australia-based Sydney Morning Herald all took aim at Raymond following news of his death at age 87. They all turned Raymond into Mother Earth’s archnemesis by making him the face of Big Oil and the so-called climate change denier movement.

We reported earlier how President Donald Trump lit up the Iranian state media for leaks that they were claiming about the deal that is about to be finalized. As we noted, the regime's foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed the deal was close to being finalized. Now, in what has to be a first, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, scolded the Iranian media for what they had reported about the deal, indicating they were getting things wrong. Then, Trump quoted Araghchi, probably another first. Araghchi said: The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.

On Friday morning, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in recorded human history. SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq, opened 11 percent above its suggested IPO price, and Forbes estimated its net worth had crossed $1.1 trillion before noon Eastern. No person had ever done this before. Not even close. SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on Thursday night, locking in a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion before a single share changed hands. That made it the largest IPO in history, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $29 billion raise in 2019 by more than $45 billion. The company set its price before

Democrats have been losing Latino voters in droves to President Trump and many Republicans, to the consternation of many leftist leaders, all of whom view Latino voters as 'their' voters, as loyal as black voters to Democrats; "their" property. They always have. So, one of them decided to hire a leftwing consultant to try to sort it out for them: Turns out ethnic pandering -- the politics of building ethnic blocs and representational box checking, and diversity based on skin tone -- doesn't impress them much. According to the New York Times: Way to Win, a Democratic-aligned group that focuses on the Sun Belt, including Latino voters

The financial markets are buying it, though: the Dow surged 1,000 points on the news.

Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report. Anthony, 19, made the assertion in a notice of appeal filed after he was found guilty of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, according to a report by ABC WFAA. Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.

On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly. Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos

Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.” So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?

Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs. Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.

There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists. Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration. The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.
