James Talarico

Talarico Isn’t Interpreting Scripture – He’s Rewriting It

Alexander Muse writes: "Political parties often choose candidates the way marketers choose packaging. The product must look familiar before voters examine what is inside.

Consider a simple analogy. A grocery store sells two jars that both say honey on the label. One jar contains honey. The other contains corn syrup flavored to resemble honey. From a distance, they look identical. Only when the buyer reads the label closely does the difference appear.

I believe Texas Democrats applied the same logic when selecting their U.S. Senate candidate. They chose James Talarico, a clean-cut white preacher who openly claims to be a Christian. The strategy is easy to see.

Texas is a deeply Christian state. Roughly two-thirds of Texans identify as Christian. White evangelicals alone represent roughly a quarter of the electorate and voted nearly 90% for President Trump in 2024. If Democrats want to compete statewide, they must at least appear comfortable speaking the language of faith.

But packaging does not determine substance. The real question is whether the theology being presented corresponds to historic Christianity as most Texas Christians understand it.

Christians disagree about many things. Baptists disagree with Catholics. Pentecostals disagree with Presbyterians. Yet beneath these disagreements lies a shared structure of belief. Scripture carries authority. Sin and repentance matter. Salvation comes through Christ. Moral teachings about life and the human body follow from these foundations.

My argument is straightforward. James Talarico departs from this shared structure. The problem is not merely that he interprets the Bible differently. The problem is that he changes the rules of interpretation themselves.

But Democrats are good at that.

Adam Corolla ripped into liberal hypocrisy

Adam Carolla Blasts Liberal Hypocrisy Over Crime

Adam Carolla didn’t hold back. He ripped into liberal hypocrisy on immigration and crime. He did it plain and loud. Short sentences. No fluff.

Carolla’s point is simple. Some deaths get headlines. Others don’t. He says that’s not an accident. It’s a political choice. He argues Democrats protect policies that let violent illegal immigrants remain in the country. Then they act like the victims don’t matter when those policies lead to murder.

He used a recent Chicago killing as an example. A college student was shot. Carolla says the political class looked the other way. Meanwhile, they make big shows for other cases that fit their narrative.

Here are his words from the partial transcript:

“They either don’t acknowledge it at all or they kind of are dismissive of it, which is what they have to do because it’s their policy that got this person k*lled.”

Democrats Hypocritical Voter ID stance

Jeffries called out on CNN for his flawed voter ID stance

The Democrat playbook consists of about four or five moves when it comes to Trump.

Trump is racist, Trump will suppress voters, and voting laws are Jim Crow 2.0, among a handful of others.

Shockingly, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was called out on live TV during a recent appearance on CNN for going against what the American people have made it clear they want to see.

The latest push by Democrats in their effort to undermine Trump is to block him from nationalizing the election process, the very thing that Democrats tried to do when Joe Biden was in office.

To be clear, I don’t support this, as it goes directly against our Constitution, but my point is about how hypocritical Democrats are on this front.

Jeffries stated, “What Donald Trump wants to do is try to nationalize the election. Translation: steal it. And we’re not going to let it happen.” 

The moment Jeffries made that claim, any journalist worth their salt would have thrown what the Dems were doing right back in his face, but in this particular interview on CNN, that did not happen.

In actuality, it is Democrats who want to steal the elections.

Democrat's Hypocrisy on Voter ID

Gutfeld Exposes Democrats’ Voter ID Hypocrisy

Democrats loudly oppose voter ID laws and we know why. Polling shows most Americans back them. That includes Black and Latino voters. The numbers are plain.

On his show, Greg Gutfeld called out the obvious contradiction. He didn’t soften it. He put it right on the table.

“You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”

Gutfeld then played a clip of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer railing against voter ID bills. “The SAVE Act is an abomination,” Schumer declared. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0 across the country.” Schumer went on to vow, “We are going to do everything we can to stop it.”

Gutfeld pointed out everyday life that already requires ID. You need one to buy certain medicines. You need one to rent a truck. You need one for lots of simple tasks. Voting should be the same.

He also cited polling that undercuts the claim that voter ID is a fringe demand. “85% of white people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favor it,” the CNN data analyst reported, adding that “the bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country.”

The Hypocrisy of the Left

Constitutional Hypocrisy

The Marxist left parade in America chanting “No Kings,” yet when America, the Trump administration, removes a brutal tyrant & dictator that they even said was illegitimate, they support the dictator.

Leftist outlets continue to ring out about the constitutionality of the operation to apprehend Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. I did find it interesting that The New York Times had an op-ed that actually agreed with Maduro being removed.

Needless to say, we can go back to December 1989 and Operation Just Cause in Panama to apprehend one Manuel Noriega as a precedent. Truthfully, we can go even farther back to the early 1800s when the Barbary pirates were attacking and seizing American ships and citizens on the high seas. Thomas Jefferson was the President then and dispatched our US Navy and Marines against Pasha Karamanli as he demanded tribute from America.

Under Article II powers of the Constitution, the President, as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces, is charged with the protection of our country.

This is something that Joe Biden did not do, and enabled one Nicolas Maduro to infiltrate criminal gangs, Tren de Aragua, and massive amounts of illicit drugs into our nation.

The result was the deaths, assaults, rapes, and crimes perpetrated against hundreds of thousands of Americans. At no time did we ever hear voices from the left speaking out against the unconstitutional open borders policy of the Biden administration.

Democrats Weaponizing Government

Time to recognize Taiwan

Why The G7 Gives Palestine A Pass But Denies Taiwan Recognition

The recent announcements by several G7 nations, notably France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, that they will recognize Palestine as a sovereign state mark a significant geopolitical moment.

Until very recently, the idea that even one, much less four, members of the G7 would take this step was unthinkable.

Their longstanding policy of non-recognition was rooted in a commitment to the Oslo Accords, signed in 1993 and 1995, which created the Palestinian Authority as an interim administration and emphasized that a Palestinian state should emerge only through direct bilateral negotiations with Israel, not unilateral action.

That this barrier has now been crossed reveals a troubling contradiction in the application of international law and diplomatic principles. These same nations refuse to recognize Taiwan, a self-governing, prosperous democracy that clearly meets the established legal criteria for statehood.

By contrast, Palestine does not presently meet those criteria, and yet it is being ushered into recognition largely as a political rebuke of Israel. This double standard is as untenable as it is transparent.

Democrats ticked off about Texas Gerrymandering

Democrats' Insanity

Stacey Abrams and her Self-righteous Rant

Stacey Abrams Caught Spreading Election Lies And Conspiracies

For years, Democrats have relentlessly smeared Republicans as “election deniers,” but since President Donald Trump’s triumphant reelection in 2024, the left has spiraled into a frenzy of wild conspiracy theories.

From Rosie O’Donnell’s absurd claim that Elon Musk “stole” the election for Trump to James Carville’s unfounded fearmongering about rigged midterms, the left has abandoned all pretense of rationality.

Now, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has joined the circus, peddling hysterical predictions about Trump ending democracy itself—all while the liberal media nods along in silence.

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with guest host Anthony Anderson, Abrams launched into a deranged monologue, listing steps she claims lead to “autocracy.”

Ignoring the fact that her own party has engaged in many of the tactics she describes—suppressing dissent, weaponizing the justice system, and manipulating election laws—Abrams saved her most ludicrous claim for last: that President Trump will “cancel all future elections.” Anderson, of course, offered no pushback, allowing her to spew this baseless fearmongering unchallenged.

The hypocrisy is staggering. Abrams, who spent years refusing to concede her 2018 Georgia gubernatorial loss while fundraising off “voter suppression” myths, now accuses Trump of undermining democracy.

New York Times Double Standard

New York Times Race-Polices Zohran Mamdani Using Stolen Property

The Editors are no fans of Zohran Mamdani, to put it mildly. But we’re no fans of the New York Times, either. The Times scoop that when Mamdani applied to Columbia in 2009 he checked the “Black or African American” box on the application deserves more skeptical treatment than it has so far generally received.

First, it demonstrates breathtaking hypocrisy by the Times. When, during the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump questioned Kamala Harris’s racial self-identification, the Times attacked him for it. The Times called it “ugly” and “divisive.”

Yet now that it’s not President Trump doing the race-policing of Kamala Harris but the New York Times doing the race-policing of Zohran Mamdani, instead of being “incendiary,” “ugly,” or “divisive,” it’s just New York Times journalism.

It’s almost like the Times has a double standard where it calls President Trump racist for doing things that the Times does itself. Either the Times owes Trump an apology or it owes Zohran Mamdani an apology, but any attempt to justify why Trump’s comment is really a lot worse than the Times article seems pretty strained. Maybe I am missing some fine distinction.

Victor Davis Hanson exposes California's Progressive Policies

"This Is WAY Worse Than I Thought… | Victor Davis Hanson"

In this video, Hanson dissects how progressive policies have led to California’s decline, from rising crime and homelessness to unchecked bureaucratic overreach.

He argues that Gavin Newsom embodies the contradictions of the modern left—promoting equity while presiding over growing inequality, and pushing climate agendas while benefiting from elite privilege.

Hanson illustrates how California, once a symbol of American opportunity, has become a cautionary tale under one-party rule. Ultimately, he contends that the state’s dysfunction reveals the dangerous consequences of ideology-driven leadership disconnected from everyday reality.

Victor Davis Hanson exposes the left’s hypocrisy in their governance of California and their support for Gavin Newsom.

Democrats have formed a "Shadow Government"

Congresswoman admits: Dems meet 'every single week' to plot lawfare against Trump

California Democrat Rep. Laura Friedman has admitted House Democrats are coordinating every single week with far-left state attorneys general to weaponize the justice system against President Trump and his America First agenda.

Speaking to voters, Friedman bragged that House Democrats have established a so-called "litigation working group," aka "shadow government," comprised of approximately 75 sitting members of Congress who gather behind closed doors every week to craft legal strategies in conjunction with state AGs — the same AGs who have brought politically motivated lawsuits and investigations against Trump, his businesses, his allies, and his policies.

Friedman's admission lays bare the hypocrisy of a party that lectures about "democracy" while secretly colluding to subvert the will of the voters.

Their so-called "legal strategy" is nothing more than lawfare—a desperate attempt to cripple Trump's ability to deliver on his promises, from restoring economic prosperity to draining the swamp. And who's footing the bill for this circus? You, the American taxpayer.

What are these Protesters protesting?

The Left-wing Protesters

Last Saturday afternoon, all across the country, at more than 1,200 protests organized by left-wing/democrat activists, you saw the angry, aging, Trump-deranged representatives of an out-of-power political party whose standing with the American people has never been lower. And you saw them protesting. But WHAT exactly?

“Hands Off!” they cried, but ask them specifically about what this violation entailed, they aren’t terribly specific — only that Trump and Musk were the gropers.

So guess we can assume it's Hands Off our national debt, which is now approaching an unfathomable $37,000,000,000,000? Hands Off a federal government that has become increasingly bloated and unaccountable to the American people? Hands Off those poor, misunderstood ms-13 and tren de aragua rapists, murderers, thugs, etc. whom corrupt biden invited into our country and whom Trump is trying to return from whence they came?

It’s interesting that these left-wing/democrat agitators think the time to act is now rather than, oh, say, 4 years ago when all these things were on-going too.

Remember: These are the same people who uttered not a peep when, as left-leaning journos Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes now confess, senile Biden’s aides were leading him around with fluorescent tape on the floor at private residences, setting up his teleprompter even for throwaway remarks to small groups, and calling in the makeup artist to make him look less corpse-like for 1-to-1 meetings with foreign dignitaries.

It’s hard to decide what was the scarier and more outrageous prospect: that a clearly dementing commander-in-chief was in charge of our nation’s finances and its nuclear arsenal, or that some anonymous and unelected staffers were calling the shots instead.

Kamala and the Convention mired in hypocrisy

Democrat National Convention Began

The 2024 DNC officially kicked off in Chicago with the security measures Democrats won’t even advocate for the country failing to stem the tide.

Against the backdrop of boarded-up businesses and high fences, the 2024 Democratic National Convention began.

Before the doors even opened, Pro-Palestine Hamas protestors began protesting and tearing down the large fences the party had put up days prior, validating the concerns of their destructive intent.

According to the Daily Wire, speakers from AOC to Hillary Clinton took the stage to praise VP Kamala Harris as “heroic.”

Clinton went so far as to praise Harris for caring about children and families, even while Democrat Narratives continue to lambast JD Vance for his pro-family rhetoric and policy.

One X user pointed out another aspect of the glaring hypocrisy--There were literally abortion and vasectomy vans outside the DNC.

Read about it...

Not only did the lies fly all night long, they treated Joe Biden, with 50 years of service, like crap making him wait until nearly midnight to speak (way past his bedtime)--no coup in their minds even though 14 million voted for him. They kicked him to the curb.

DC Archbishop points out Biden's religious hypocrisy

DC Archbishop Rips Biden, Calls Him A ‘Cafeteria Catholic’

DC Archbishop Wilton Gregory didn’t mince words when he labeled President Biden a “cafeteria Catholic” during a recent interview on CBS.

Gregory pointedly criticized Biden’s selective adherence to Catholic teachings, stating, “Like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts.”

This stinging rebuke comes amidst growing backlash over the Biden administration’s decision to declare March 31 as the “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a move condemned by many as an affront to Christian values.

Critics argue that Biden’s support for abortion access and same-sex marriage conflicts with traditional Catholic teachings. The Catholic Church officially opposes abortion and views marriage as a sacrament between one man and one woman. Biden’s political positions on these issues have led to accusations of him being a “fake” Catholic by many within the Church.

And the White House prohibited children from submitting “religious themed” Easter egg designs for the 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art event at the White House on Easter such as the Cross.

Archbishop rips Biden anew

You've heard of fake news, right? This is about a fake Catholic.

“They ought to give me the money I need to protect the border.”

Our failed hypocritical leader in Chief does one thing well--blames Republicans for everything

President Joe Biden made a bold statement that has received a great deal of attention and backlash from the right. In a recent video, first shared by the Associated Press, Biden can be heard saying, “They ought to give me the money I need to protect the border.”

This statement comes after years of Biden and his Democratic colleagues fiercely criticizing former President Donald Trump’s border wall project and labeling him as a racist for even suggesting the idea. But now, with a record number of migrants crossing the border, Biden is suddenly claiming that he needs the support of the Republican Party in order to finish the project.

In a typical display of hypocrisy, Biden expects the very party he has constantly vilified and attacked to now come to his rescue. This is a blatant lie, and it’s disingenuous for Biden to shift the burden onto the GOP. As Fox News writer Miranda Devine points out, “It doesn’t take money to secure the border, just political will.”

Victor Davis Hanson speaks out on Double Standards

Biden vs. Trump: 5 Ways the Left Is Way Beyond Double Standards

By Victor Davis Hanson

"The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling.

They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they’re doing the utter opposite. And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral, and assume their opponents are irredeemable and deplorable.

The Left is now furious that Hunter has been subpoenaed by the House to testify in private about how he earned his multimillion-dollar income, whether he fully paid taxes on it, and to whom he distributed his winnings.

Hunter has refused to testify. He is now being held in contempt of the U.S. Congress—to the silence of the usually self-righteous former Sen. Joe “Pay Your Fair Share” Biden.

Ask Peter Navarro or Steve Bannon whether one can simply ignore a House subpoena. Ask Ivanka Trump whether she was, or was not, subpoenaed to appear before the Jan. 6 committee. Ask the Trump sons whether they could breezily say “no” to New York Attorney General Letitia James’ subpoenas in her farcical real estate valuation suit against Trump.
