Notes from the Resistance
JONATHAN TURLEY: James Talarico’s defense of gun control leaves out a key word… The reason, he declared, is that the Second Amendment expressly embraces gun control by referring to the right to bear arms as “well regulated.” [More]
But, of course, that’s simply not true.
So why is it so many Texans are willing to vote in a demonstrable liar?
James Talarico: ‘Common Sense’ to Lock Up Guns in the Home, Criminalize Private Sales… Talarico said, “I am a believer in the Second Amendment. I don’t pick and choose between the Bill of Rights, I believe in the Second Amendment just as much as I believe in the first.” [More]

Books that have sparked fierce battles in Texas schools over sexually explicit content are available through the library of the Austin church where Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico both attends and preaches. An online catalog for St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church includes titles such as “Gender Queer,” “All Boys Aren’t Blue, This Book Is Gay,” and “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”—books critics have argued contain graphic sexual content inappropriate for minors.

Cue indignant outrage from the same people who want to ban Mark Twain and Harper Lee.

So, President Trump, when are you going to take a damn side?
And are Republicans getting ready to blow it Texas big?

Why is it every time I see this lunatic I picture Elliot Page?
If it ends up being between him and Cornyn, well, this is how the system keeps gunvoters in line.
And look what else Texans can elect. Good grief.

[W]ould I word it differently? Would I use a different metaphor? Maybe… [More]
Note he didn’t say he doesn’t believe every word of it?
What do we do with viruses? Pretty much the same thing we do with vermin.
And James has just the plan to make that happen.
Don’t be a useful Fudd idiot like John, conveniently not identified so his creds as a representative Texas gun owner could be checked.
From Texas Scorecard, via email:
How that translates into electability is anybody’s guess, but anyone who says Texas will go solidly and reliably “red” may have a point, if you go back to the original understanding of the term.
And that’s just the way Joe Rogan likes it.

In a moment we should have seen coming, New York Times columnist David French has just gushed out a shameless celebration of Talarico’s insane nonsense, every word of which should qualify the worst op-ed prostitute in America for urgent psychiatric intervention. Here’s a whole paragraph: “Or, to put it another way, Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian, and by acting like a Christian he reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that’s dominated American political life for 10 years.” [More]
Who but Democrats believe the DSM lie that David French is a “conservative”?
And who but a useful idiot believes James Talarico is anything other than a subversive?
