Don’t Believe the Hype About James Talarico

From Texas come Beto O'Rourke and Talarico. Do you see something ominous here?

Kurt Schlichter    

They’re not thrilled with Ken Paxton, but they find Talarico kind of weird. With a little bit of gentle probing, it’s clear most of them don’t know the full range of this guy’s bizarre woke beliefs, casual heresies, and general freakishness.  

Talarico is all hat, no cattle

"When Vice President JD Vance told the midterm convention audience that he had absolutely no desire to see James Talarico’s browser history, it got a good laugh. Talarico has that weird, smarmy creepiness thing going on, combined with casual blasphemy, a hatred of capitalism, and the sensibilities of a white-wine woman who works in HR and celebrates Kwanzaa. He’s a terrible fit for America, and an unimaginable fit for Texas.

"But people are imagining it. They’re imagining it hard, especially people outside Texas. If you listen to the pollsters- and you should never listen to the pollsters- he’s either neck-and-neck with Ken Paxton or beating the TX AG handily. The smart set contends that Texas is about to tumble into the blue chasm at the hands of a guy who’s less Beto’s heir than Pete Buttigieg’s grinning Mini-Me. So, I decided, now that I’m back at my Texas house for the fall, to see for myself what’s really going on. Here’s what I found.

"Not much. I am not seeing the Talaricomania.

"I was here in Texas during Betomania, and the big difference is that Betomania existed. He excited people. He was young and cute, and they were willing to overlook his communism and his furry dalliance to surf his sporty vibe. You saw Beto signs everywhere, and you could also feel that people were interested in the guy. In the end, he came pretty close to beating Sen. Ted Cruz (T-TX). But close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and #MeToo allegations, which Talarico’s allies seem to have planted about him as part of a strategy of deception." . . . More.

‘Right-hand-man’ son of genocidal Somali dictator who killed 200,000 found living in Ohio, linked to $1.8M Medicare firm

Perhaps he can seek asylum in Minnesota with Gov. Tim Walz. May we assume he votes Democrat? TD

 “[Barre’s] red beret soldiers were going door-to-door in civilian homes, rounding up young men and children as young as 12 and they murdered them in cold blood."

Barre poses with military officers and senior regime officials in Mogadishu,
Somalia, in 1969

"The children of bloodthirsty Somali dictator Siad Barre, whose rule left as many as 200,000 people dead, are quietly living in the US — alongside victims of his regime.

"The Post located the despot’s “right-hand man” son Ayanle and daughter Deka Mohamed Siad, in Columbus, Ohio, where they lead unassuming suburban lives.

"However, among the wider Somali community, their presence is a painful reminder of the regime and some are calling for US authorities to investigate.

"“Siad Barre and his men committed so many war crimes so I was shocked to see his son [Ayanle] in the mosque enjoying his freedom,” Ali-Guban Mohamed, 64, told The Post. 

"'My family were rounded up in a small township called Agabur and executed. Their bodies were put into a well and that was happening across the board." . . .More.

NBC vs. the Holdout Juror

Desperate for ratings, an NBC-owned TV station crusades against a hero

Don Surber 

"Consider AOC. She got away with saying there were 10 lynchings of black people this year. The media repeated her without context. X did not. It added a community note to her tweet."

The harpies at NBC10 (WBTS) in Boston have the name, rank and serial number of the juror who believed Lindsay Clancy when she said she killed her children. The outlet is owned and operated by NBC. Station personnel have no legal right to know his name and in fact, may have violated the law in obtaining the name.

Nevertheless, NBC10 is airing a string of stories about his divorce and his financial woes in an effort to discredit him.

The station is going after the juror because his refusal to go-along-to-get-along and acquit her is unpopular among the liberals who dominate the area. The station’s management is using the juror to attract viewers and advertisers to the station’s broadcasts.

NBC10 is usually last in the ratings among the five English-language local newsrooms behind WCVB (ABC), WHDH (independent), WBZ (CBS) and WFXT (Fox) in that order—and has been fifth in this five-channel race since 2017.

Oh, I am sure the reporters going after the man believe they are heroes in their crusade to expose a private citizen who did his duty and served on a jury. Wait, since 9/11, journalists no longer call themselves crusading journalists. They say investigative reporters instead.

Besides, exposing the hero’s record just may be the ticket out of Beantown to network stardom.

"But the station is undermining the integrity of the judiciary. Far from being helpful, in Boston, NBC10’s freedom of the press is doing serious damage to our country

"NBC10 should not know the juror’s name because the judge impounded the list of the names of jurors. His fellow jurors likely ratted him out. The station justifies its use of his name and its unethical attacks on his reputation by saying, well, at least we’re not disclosing his name.

"But we are hearing only one side of the story." . . . More.

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, “A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media."

We must recall that NBC was once the famous MSNBC; now MSNOW. TD
