Think of America as a bucket of hot water. Pour cold water into it faster than it can be heated, and eventually the entire bucket cools. Illegal immigration works much the same way. When immigration outpaces a nation’s ability to integrate newcomers, it can strain housing, schools, infrastructure, and public services. A nation must control its borders and the pace of immigration if it wants to preserve its stability and prosperity.

Keep in mind he was texting 11 year old girls.
James Talarico posted screenshots texting with a former female student and urged his students multiple times to text and call him outside school Dude is a walking red flag 🚩

Suicidal empathy is when compassion becomes so misguided that violent criminals are allowed to remain free simply because they are illegal immigrants. When sympathy for offenders takes priority over protecting innocent people, that is no longer compassion, it is a dangerous failure of justice. True compassion protects the innocent; it does not excuse violent criminals or sacrifice public safety in the name of empathy. I believe victims of violent crime and their families should have the legal right to hold judges, prosecutors, and elected officials civilly accountable when their reckless or grossly negligent decisions knowingly put dangerous criminals back on the streets, resulting in innocent people being harmed or killed. Public office should never mean immunity from accountability for decisions that recklessly endanger human lives. When officials knowingly disregard serious threats to public safety, the innocent victims and their families deserve more than condolences, they deserve a meaningful path to justice.

Isn’t it remarkable? Talarico reportedly handed his supposed photographic evidence to a newspaper sympathetic to his campaign, allegedly with the condition that the images could not be published or released for independent examination. Why? If these photos are supposed to settle the controversy, why prevent independent forensic experts from examining the originals? Why should the public accept a newspaper’s assessment when the underlying evidence remains inaccessible? Evidence that cannot be independently examined deserves scrutiny, not unquestioning acceptance. If the photos are authentic, independent verification should help establish that. Until then, the newspaper’s account is not a substitute for publicly verifiable evidence. The question is simple: Why restrict access to the very evidence you’re asking everyone to trust?

Why is the left so concerned about the possibility that Talarico was in a mental health facility? Given how often they accuse their political opponents of being mentally unstable, you’d think they would be the last people to consider mental health treatment a scandal.

Well, I cannot imagine the security reason not to publicly release. Talarico should show them to some outlet that would seem more neutral to the public than NYT.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Talarico The objective facts on both sides One side: 1. An inexplicable disappearance and campaign blackout -- could be incompetent team, could be real crisis 2. Phone recording of employee saying Talarico was at a mental hospital -- could be real, could be fake 3. A charter flight consistent with Talarico being there -- circumstantial 4. A changing story from a nervous Talarico -- he could have been trying to make himself not look fragile Other side: 5. The phone call to the mental hospital gave the wrong discharge date -- could be invalidating, could be lagging paperwork on discharge that happened a day earlier 6. Hospital with a lawyerly (?) PR announcement saying he wasn't treated *by* the hospital -- "by" or "at"? 7. New York Times claiming they saw security camera footage -- could real, could be fake 8. Denials by Talarico's team -- not credible My take: The most damning two facts are facts 1 and 4. Fact 1. Either Talarico had a real crisis that he is not telling us about, and his team kept it quiet, or they just messed up. Fact 4. The most charitable interpretation is that Talarico misled the audience during his interview where he claimed "just a primary care physician", and left out the "urgent care in Dallas" part to minimize the severity of the illness, which may have been possibly much worse than he let on. Fact 4 combined with Fact 1 presents the possibility that his staff was either worried or intentionally kept in the dark over an illness whose severity worried Talarico's inner circle. This is the most charitable, least conspiratorial take, and it doesn't look good for Talarico. Is he going to die from the cold while in office? We know that this is not his first rodeo, either. He has been hospitalized with severe diabetic complications from ordinary illnesses before. Was Talarico in a mental hospital? Is the Talarico campaign keeping something from us about the severity of his illness? Can we trust the NYT reporting saying they reviewed his security footage (of course they want Talarico to win)? Many questions remain open about Talarico's mysterious disappearance.

This is still evasive. Listen, I have no idea what the truth is. But I see these things. 1. The private jet that @CarolineWren identified hasn't gone to Ohio for nearly two months except for the airport in Hamilton Co., OH. And it went at a time that correlates with the incidents at hand (correlation, not necessarily causation). 2. The original audio sounds legit. And I suspect it's possible there's an employee at the Linder Center who didn't fully understand what a HIPPA violation is or was trying to be helpful. 3. This statement was designed by a lawyer. That could be just a way to truthfully close the issue and get them out of the limelight. Or it could be intended to protect the employee and allow for plausible deniability to cover a HIPPA violation. 4. There was an assertion made that there are a few James Talarico's in the SW Ohio area who could have been the patient. But what's the chance someone with the same name was recently admitted at that facility? 5. It remains a fact that a colleague of Talarico has gone to the same facility for treatment. High likelihood of Talarico needed this help this friend would have referred him. There are other interesting tidbits. None of it proves anything. All of it calls for an explanation to clear it up. Lastly, these aren't the types of incidents that when revealed win campaigns. Paxton has to go do the work and make the stronger case agsiant Talarico, namely that Talarico is goofy and has a goofy platform.
Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope.

Clearly this man is antithetical to what made the USA the greatest country to ever exist!
In a private Zoom Meeting, Democrat Nominee for Texas Senate James Talarico says Capitalism is linked to white supremacy and climate change and needs to be dismantled. “And I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them.”

The sheer stupidity of this statement is astounding. James Talarico was so determined to condemn racism that he didn’t even recognize the blatant racial stereotyping in his own words. Imagine believing you’re morally enlightened while portraying an entire race as carriers of a “virus” simply because of their skin color. The irony is staggering. This reveals a man who clearly isn’t fit for political office.
Replying to @jamestalarico
White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.

Can the fact that a patient has been "treated and released," or that a patient has died, be released as part of the facility directory? Check the link below to the HHS website and see for yourself hhs.gov/hipaa/for-profession…

Why is it that the left always have empathy for the murderer, but never for the victims of murder

Justice doesn’t become cruelty simply because it’s visible, and punishment doesn’t become righteous simply because it’s hidden.

Preterism becomes a serious error, and in its full form a heresy, because it contradicts core, non-negotiable doctrines that Scripture presents as still future: the visible return of Christ, the bodily resurrection, and the final judgment. First, the return of Christ is clearly described as visible, physical, and unmistakable. Acts 1:11 says, “This same Jesus… will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” He ascended bodily and visibly, so His return must be the same. Revelation 1:7 says, “Every eye will see Him.” That did not happen in AD 70. Redefining His coming as merely symbolic or historical strips the plain meaning from Scripture. Second, the resurrection. This is where full preterism crosses into heresy. Scripture teaches a future bodily resurrection of the dead. “The dead will be raised incorruptible” (1 Corinthians 15:52). Paul ties this directly to Christ’s resurrection as the “firstfruits” (1 Corinthians 15:20). If the resurrection already happened, then where are the resurrected bodies? Death is still present. Graves are still full. That directly contradicts the Gospel itself. Paul even warns about this exact error: “Hymenaeus and Philetus… saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some” (2 Timothy 2:17–18). That is not a minor disagreement, it is a doctrinal corruption that damages the foundation of faith. Third, the final judgment. Scripture describes a global event, not a local one. “All the nations will be gathered before Him” (Matthew 25:32). Revelation 20:12 says, “the dead, small and great, standing before God.” That has not occurred. Limiting this to Jerusalem in AD 70 ignores the universal scope of these passages. Fourth, the defeat of death and the completion of the kingdom. “The last enemy that will be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:26). Death still exists, which means the final stage of God’s kingdom has not yet come. Hebrews 2:8 confirms this: “But now we do not yet see all things put under Him.” Fifth, the restoration of creation. Romans 8 says creation itself is waiting to be delivered from corruption (Romans 8:21). That has not happened. The world is still under decay, suffering, and death. Any doctrine claiming all prophecy is fulfilled must explain why creation is still groaning. This is why full preterism is not just an alternative interpretation, it is heretical. It denies or redefines essential truths: a future return of Christ, a future bodily resurrection, and a future final judgment. When those are removed or spiritualized, the hope of the Gospel is altered. The Church has always looked forward to Christ’s return. “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). If that hope is placed entirely in the past, then the expectation Scripture commands believers to have is emptied of its meaning. In short, preterism fails because it forces fulfillment where Scripture still points forward. And when it goes as far as claiming the resurrection and return of Christ are already past, it moves from error into heresy by undermining the very foundation of Christian hope.

They want you to feel hopeless, like your vote doesn’t matter… like nothing you do matters, when they say that the US is owned by Israel or that the world is controlled by some evil cabal of pedophiles or satan worshippers or whatever. If you are hopeless you are less likely to fight back. A demoralized population is easier to fracture and thus easier to conquer. There are very few other ways to successfully attack us, and blackpill propaganda is easy, relatively cheap, and spreads itself. Know the op when you see it.
