BREAKING: Trump attacks Texas Democrat James Talarico — and gets a FIERY sermon in response that he won’t forget
Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling James Talarico an “insult to Jesus” because the Texas Democratic Senate candidate is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Unfortunately for Dementia Don, he picked the wrong person. Standing in a Black church in Texas, Talarico didn’t just clap back — he delivered a moral reckoning.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” Talarico began. “You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their health care while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only just the start.
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued. “Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers.”
Then he went even further — taking aim at war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“You know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent school children in Iran and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war… Covering up the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. This was a full-on moral indictment.
Talarico — who has been attacked by Trump for supporting transgender Americans and saying “trans children are God’s children” — flipped the script entirely. Instead of backing down, he grounded his message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” he said. “There’s only been one perfect Christian and he was crucified on a cross 2,000 years ago.”
And then came the line that hit hardest: “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine bigotry in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on earth?”
That’s how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity — and conviction.
Trump tried to smear him. Instead, Talarico delivered a sermon that’s now echoing far beyond that church.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.
Please share this far and wide...
"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.
"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."
"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.
“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”
Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.
