If you dare to create anything, someone will dislike you. Others will disparage or dismiss you. Be bold. Create anyway. The world needs more creativity, beauty & love. It’s more powerful than the negativity.
It’s amazing how quickly the narrative falls apart when simply asked to back up a claim. All he has is outrage & incredulity.
And yet some people just swallow his BS whole because it makes them feel good.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
Ken Paxton had private moral failings that he worked through and didn’t let affect his job, continuing to fight on behalf of the people of Texas.
James Talarico wants you to believe that the story of Jesus’s birth justifies abortion.
The choice has never been more clear.
Any time someone uses a phrase like “trans-ing children”, I know they haven’t deeply explored these issues & are grandstanding.
All the while propping up an immoral person instead of working with a moral person they disagree with.
Not sure there’s a way back from here.
Since I’m going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question:
“You would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? That’s not very Christian.”
Here’s the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society.
Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I don’t deny that. But Talarico has plenty too — and he openly mocks God’s law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state.
You see, I’m an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy.
I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are.
Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few.
Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run “healthcare,” and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God.
I’m not voting for a priest. I’m voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. That’s how it works.
You’re not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5+.
It’s about policy, not personality.
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm Nope. Clinton was wrong, lied about it, and should’ve been removed from office. Besides those issues (which are bad enough), Paxton was impeached for bribery, obstruction, covering up securities fraud, & abuse of public trust. Plus more issues.
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm There are MANY devoted Christians who interpret the Bible like Talarico does. I realize you disagree, but do not assume it is simply for political gain. And if we are to judge a tree by its fruits like Jesus said, then I have a hard time understanding support for Paxton.
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm Corruption anywhere in government is a problem & we should all be demanding better of our leaders. Distracting from one candidate’s clear issues with whataboutism doesn’t help any of us. We all have to do better than blindly defending “our side.”
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm If you’d like to make a direct comparison between the candidates, I’d be very open to learning about any corruption that Talarico is a party to. I’m certainly against all the corruption in government, regardless of party. But bringing up wider political issues can be obfuscative.
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm Do you think, however, that the opposition could not be emotionally reacting, but making a logical choice based upon proven corruption? I think the characterization in your response is a bit unfair. We all lose when we keep putting corrupt people in office.
@ChanceMock@Lufkin_Book05@LoewyLawFirm I am surprised, though, that Republicans support men like Paxton. I never thought the conservative men & women that I grew up with & respect (& who raised me) would vote for such problematic candidates. That’s some of why people use terms like the “new GOP.”
Trump on troop deployments: I seem to have great support. CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100%. They said they have never seen a poll like that. The CNN poll said I'm at 100%.
Just another example of why people who have a “holy text”, yet have no understanding of it, are some of the most dangerous people on the planet

Joshua Haymes & Brooks Potteiger (Pete Hegseth's pastor) pray imprecatory psalms against James Talarico: "I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ ... If it would not be within God's will to do so, stop him by any means necessary."
I’d love for some of these famous folks who make statements like this to actually explain what they think the teachings of Jesus are.
Otherwise, they’re just leveraging the American Christian machine. Not that the machine cares, but still…
loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10
