Talarico: This November, stop them before it’s too late

 LifeSiteNews

"“Texas voters need to know his record of voting against bans on irreversible sex changes for minors while cozying up to surgeons who performed them. Our ad exposes the truth behind the seminary student facade.”

"A new ad is taking aim at far-left Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico’s record on LGBT issues, using artificial intelligence (AI) to depict the candidate as a gender “transition” surgeon looming over a little girl.

"The 30-second spot, created by American Principles Project (APP), evokes the famous 1964 “Daisy” ad from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign that depicted a little girl picking flower petals before implicitly being caught in a nuclear explosion. The APP version replaces the looming threat of the Cold War arms race with the transgender industry.

“She dreams of growing up, falling in love, becoming a mother,” a similarly voiced narrator says. “The trans industry preys on confused children. Irreversible puberty blockers. Cross-sex hormones. Sex-change surgeries. This November, stop them before it’s too late.” The ad cuts to the girl being prepped for surgery, with a surgeon looking down on her who removes his mask to reveal Talarico’s face before ending on a black screen displaying, “Vote for Ken Paxton on November 3.” . . . More.

If This Is True About James Talarico, He's Finished

"If the rumor is true, this would be a campaign-ending revelation. If it's false, one unscripted public appearance would kill it in minutes." 

Uncle Paul's Parodies

"Explosive rumors are circulating about the whereabouts of Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District), and if they prove true, his Senate campaign is over.

"Sara Gonzales of The Blaze reported Thursday that she had received a tip she was still working to confirm.

Gonzales didn't say what the information was, but GOP strategist Caroline Wren did, and what she's hearing, though unconfirmed, is huge.

"James Talarico is straight up missing one month before the election," Wren told Steve Bannon on Real America's Voice.

To recap, Talarico was last seen in Texas at a football game on Sept. 26. Invitations show New York City fundraisers with Robert De Niro on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29. Then, on Sept. 30, Talarico appeared by video at a Hispanic business event he was supposed to have attended in person, and said he had come down with the flu and visited a Dallas clinic. Wren concludes that account would put him in a Dallas medical clinic on the same night he was supposed to have been at a fundraiser in Manhattan.

Nobody has seen him in public since.

After Bannon floated the possibility that Talarico was simply off raising money in New York or Los Angeles, Wren said photos from those events would have surfaced by now.

Then she shared what her sources in Texas are telling her.

"I'm hearing that he checked himself into a mental institution, that he had a full-blown mental breakdown sometime around, I guess, September 29th or September 30th," she said." . . .

Joelle Bayaa-Uzuri Espeut revealed [he]-she
 confronted him directly about his comments

Back in September before he disappeared: Paxton's Democratic rival James Talarico strikes different tone on trans rights at secret LGBTQ fundraiser | Daily Mail Online   "Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico struck a different tone on transgender rights after being confronted at a secret fundraiser, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Transgender activist Joelle Bayaa-Uzuri Espeut asked Talarico about a recent Fox News interview during which he said he was in favor of a national ban on gender surgery for minors and opposed trans athletes in women's sports.

"'I asked him directly about his comments [on] Fox News about the trans community, which upset a lot of people,' Espeut told the Daily Mail.

"Talarico was asked on Fox if he would vote as a senator in favor of a national ban on gender surgery for minors, and he replied, 'Absolutely.' 

"He also stated, 'I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if it risks safety or fairness.' 

"But after Espeut informed Talarico that his comments 'hurt' many in the transgender community, he tried to clarify what he meant to the audience. 

"Espeut told the Daily Mail that Talarico insisted that his position on transgender athletes playing in girls' sports had not changed, and that he believed it should be up to local officials to make the decision." . . .

Genocide

The Israelis did what the allies did to Germany in WW2; the Gazans did to those areas of Israel what Germany did to Poland then as well. TD

 HISTORY  

. . . "Genocide’s “intent to destroy” separates it from other crimes of humanity such as ethnic cleansing, which aims at forcibly expelling a group from a geographic area (by killing, forced deportation and other methods)." . . .

Gaza was ethnically cleansed when all Jewish families were forced to walk away from homes and businesses they had established, turning the land over to the Gazans. TD  Expulsions and exoduses of Jews - Wikipedia

What is Genocide? | Holocaust Encyclopedia  "The word “genocide” did not exist prior to World War II. It is a specific term coined in 1942 by Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959) and first used in print in his 1944 book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. In his book, Lemkin analyzed Nazi policies of systematic persecution and mass murder during World War II. His analysis included descriptions of the destruction of European Jews, which today is referred to as the Holocaust. He formed the word genocide by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing. Lemkin defined “genocide” as "a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.'". . . 

Holocaust: Concentration Camps, Deaths & Legacy | HISTORY    "The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945.

The word “holocaust,” from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned), was historically used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an altar.

After years of Nazi rule in Germany, dictator Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution”—now known as the Holocaust—was carried out during World War II, with mass killing centers in concentration camps. About six million Jews and some five million others, targeted for racial, political, ideological and behavioral reasons, died in the Holocaust. More than one million of those who perished were children.

Historical Antisemitism

"Antisemitism in Europe did not begin with Adolf Hitler. Though use of the term itself dates only to the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward Jews long before the Holocaust—even as far back as the ancient world, when Roman authorities destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave Palestine." . . . 

Holocaust: Concentration Camps, Deaths & Legacy | HISTORY

UPDATE: Genocide Hypocrites   

"On October 7, 2023, Hamas killers slaughtered 1,200 people, more than two-thirds of them civilians, inside Israel. For the ensuing three weeks, they refused Israel's demands to turn over the 251 hostages and to surrender the architects of the massacre. No matter — within a day of the attacks, when Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops on Israeli soil, the American Left was already screaming "genocide!"

"They did not mean Hamas's intended genocide of Jews, a foretaste of which was seen when it launched a surprise invasion force of more than 4,000 terrorists some 15 miles into Israel. The killers were accompanied by some 2,000 "innocent" Gazan "civilians." All were bent on looting, murder, rape, torture, and hostage-taking of the defenseless.

"Nor did the "genocide" chorus refer to the more than 13,000 rockets, missiles, and drones launched from Gaza after October 7 that predominantly targeted Israeli civilian neighborhoods.

"What was most surreal about the charges of "genocide" against Israel — along with all the other slurs of "settler-colonialism," "apartheid," "occupation," "war crimes" — was that they so often came from elite first- and second-generation Middle Eastern immigrants to America. Yet these prominent American accusers have remained silent about whether their lurid accusations might far better reflect the sordid histories of their own homelands." . . . More.

Woke Grad School Ed Programs Explain Why Kids Can't Read

American kids lag behind those in many other peer nations thanks to the ideology pervading the schools that educate our teachers.

The Federalist

"Rather than wasting government funds — state and local spending, not to mention federal student loan dollars for teachers’ graduate degrees — to promote topics such as “queering elementary education,” give parents the education dollars and let them select the schooling option that meets their children’s needs."

. . . "But in the United States at least, another factor may help to explain students’ poor academic performance. A separate paper by researchers at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) illustrated the ideological obsessions within graduate schools of education, which train the next generation of teachers going into American classrooms.

The AEI study examined course reading materials and syllabi for master’s programs at 10 public graduate schools of education. As the paper notes, because many school districts pay higher wages to teachers with master’s degrees, these graduate schools have a ready-built pipeline of potential students.

Consider the titles of just some of the course readings in one school’s curriculum:

• “Is an Antiracist and Decolonizing Applied Linguistics Possible?” 
• “Theorizing Linguistic Racisms from a Language Ideological Perspective” 
• “Writing, Rioting, and Righting Como Negra: A Testimonio of Black Latinx Erasure in Bilingual Education”
• “Black Languaging [sic] as Anti-Racist Pedagogy in the World Language Classroom”
• “World Languages for Black Linguistic Reparations”
• “Toward an Anti-Racist Linguistic Anthropology: An Indigenous Response to White Supremacy.”

"Note that these are all titles from syllabi at the University of Texas, a publicly funded institution in a purportedly conservative state." . . More.

Free, Free Palestine...from WHAT?

That Oct 7th was a perfect living model of what a "two-state solution" would be.

What does 'Free Palestine' mean? - Chicago Sun-Times 

 “Absolutely not,” he said. “To me, it means the freedom in Palestine to live, to have food and water. To not be in an open-air prison. To not be exterminated.”

. . . "“My personal goal, the reason why I’m here, is to call for a cease-fire and to call for peace,” continued the man, 19, who did not want to be identified. “The situation is pretty complicated, to be honest. It would take a long time, but I do think a single-state solution could work.”

"A future of peaceful coexistence was not exactly being floated from the stage." . . .

I’m a Jewish teen. I asked my neighbors what they meant by ‘Free Palestine.'

"When I explained that I understood “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as a call for the complete destruction of Israel, Braverman reframed it as “living together with Israelis, having equal rights as Israelis.”

Where I and others hear a slogan that questions Israel’s legitimacy, overlooks Israeli fears and rejects Jewish history, Braverman describes it as a call for equality. That showed me how differently the same words can be understood depending on who is using them." . . .

Why Arab countries ban all Gaza refugees     "In just weeks after Hamas's October 7th attack, Israel’s massive retaliation left well over a million Gazans homeless. Today, almost twice that number—about 90% of Gaza’s population—has been forced from their homes, yet not a single Arab country will open its doors. Why not?"

Douglas Murray: She CELEBRATED the Hamas Massacre — Then Played the VICTIM on TV Author and political commentator Douglas Murray reacts to shocking footage of a UK-based Muslim woman, Latifa Abushakra, who praised the October 7 Hamas terror attacks as a “moment of triumph.” In this powerful segment with Sky News host Rita Panahi, Murray exposes the moral inversion in British society — where those who glorify terrorism are platformed on mainstream media while claiming victimhood.

"Douglas calls out ITV for inviting Abushakra onto national television shortly after her vile comments surfaced, allowing her to portray herself as a victim of “Islamophobia” while ignoring the brutal massacre of over 1,400 innocent Israelis.

“If anyone said this about the murder of any other group, they’d be chased out of society,” says Murray. “We are being played.”

The Double Standard of Islamist Immigrants Who Attack America

"Victor Davis Hanson takes on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar over a glaring double standard in their attacks on America. "They condemn the United States and Israel over colonialism, inequality, oppression, and war—but rarely apply that same scrutiny to Uganda, Turkey, Somalia, and the countries they or their families came from. "Hanson’s message is simple: before condemning America, look in the mirror." PragerU -<

Media Falsely Argue GOP Will Lose Because Of Deportations

"Capitulate, and then you can win again. This is RINO 101, and it’s everything that’s wrong with the Republican Party."

The Federalist  

"Giving up the fight and choosing weakness will validate an argument that the country hated in 2024, turning a winning issue into a losing issue because Republicans flinch before the punch lands. Defeat is a choice."

"Few messaging operation: We just have to stop deporting people, and then Americans will love the Republican Party again.

"If you believe the legacy media, which you should never do, Americans are very angry that their warm and wonderful “undocumented” neighbors are being cruelly thrown out of the country. Republicans are about to lose their majorities in the House and Senate because everyone hates ICE for being so mean and aggressive.

One of the implied messages that necessarily underlie this framing is that Americans just adore the heroism of the stunning and brave anti-ICE riots. Predictably, a bunch of weak Republicans have embraced the claim, pivoting to an anti-ICE, pro-illegals message.

To see how the argument is being made, take a look at a Sept. 27 story in Politico: “ICE operations are making it hard for vulnerable Republicans fighting for their political survival.” The story frames deportation as a deeply unpopular measure. The political environment has calmed since the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but “ICE’s recent record-high arrest rate is still landing hard in some communities.”

And then, big finish, Politico drops a quote from professional cuckold John Cornyn, who warns against going too far: “There’s already been some blowback associated with what people feel is a little bit of a heavy hand when it comes to immigration enforcement.”

Capitulate, and then you can win again. This is RINO 101, and it’s everything that’s wrong with the Republican Party.

The place where the claims about 2026 fall apart is 2024. After four years with a wide-open border, voters rejected uncontrolled mass migration and human trafficking, handing over the keys to Republicans." . . .More.
