Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week

The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE

Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren , a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment.

While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS.

The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful.

And Talarico clearly can’t handle it.

I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on.

My guess is that he will unravel the same as Biden did. In public, there will be a slip-up and he’ll simply unravel. Maybe debate. Maybe an uncomfortable question from someone, or maybe wildly inappropriate comments or behavior. Hic sic semper house of cardus.

Do you know what humor is?

Perhaps it has all been set up by the Dem overlords so that Talarico can be replaced before the election by somebody less flaky and more likely to follow orders.

“Perhaps it has all been set up by the Dem overlords so that Talarico can be replaced before the election by somebody less flaky and more likely to follow orders.”

What a novel idea! They’ve never done THAT before, right? CoughKamalaCough. CoughSwalwellCough. Elections mean nothing to RATs; now it’s installations.

[rodguy911]

That’s a good guess and would not surprise me at all. I don’t think we will see a debate. He keeps trying to rig it so he can’t possibly fail and Paxton is too seasoned to go for something that stupid.

[rodguy911]

If whomever answered the call told the caller "he was just discharged this evening" she's stupid. The rules are never tell anyone anything about the patient. Pretty standard.

So did she get the date he actually left wrong, easily. Just because there is a discharge date does not mean the patient didn't leave early. Those places like Linder make a pile of money. The longer they can bill the better. Especially, when there is no chance at all they will ever be called on an extra day or any extra charge for that matter with a compromised patient.

“Perhaps it has all been set up by the Dem overlords so that Talarico can be replaced before the election by somebody less flaky and more likely to follow orders.”

Don’t forget that Jersey incumbent in the ‘90s who was replaced last minute after his corruption was established beyond all doubt. His replacement won.

[rodguy911]

Of course it does. The whole thing rests on allegedly being told "he was just discharged this evening." If he was discharged Saturday evening, why was he in Austin on Friday?

If you had slick operators, and make no mistake about it Talarico is being run,you would sign him out of the Linder Institute a day or two after he had already left. And thats how he was in Austin on Friday. And you would make sure everyone saw him in Austin on Friday. It's a good con but not good enough.

Are the heavy weights at Linder going to complain about helping a fellow hard lefty and making and extra buck in the process, not likely.

From caroline wren on X:

What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon?

Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico’s good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago…

So many coincidences!

BREAKING:

Something isn't adding up about James Talarico's sudden public reappearance after two weeks.

On Friday, Talarico showed up at the Austin City Limits music festival after 13 days away from in-person campaign events. His campaign continues to say he was home recovering from a severe case of the flu, but brand new flight logs tell a different story.

A private Cessna Citation X (N750MF, operated by Jet Linx Aviation) departed the Austin area on October 8, overnighted at Butler County Regional Airport (HAO) in Hamilton, Ohio, and returned to Austin, landing at approximately 10:24 a.m. on October 9, just hours before Talarico was seen at ACL that afternoon.

Hamilton airport is a small regional field roughly 20 minutes from the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio, a private inpatient mental health and behavioral health facility.

Talarico's connection to that facility is that a good friend of his, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, checked into this mental hospital for a multi-week mental health leave in 2023.

Caroline Wren wrote the following about this story: "What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon?

Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico’s good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago… So many coincidences!"

The Talarico campaign has refused to answer whether or not he was at Lindner or any other facility. The campaign has dismissed the mental-health speculation that circulated earlier and maintains the absence was due to the flu.

However, the new flight logs throw several questions into this timeline. Talarico's opponent Ken Paxton is still demanding answers.

.....................

All we need are camera shots of Talarico on or off the plane either in Ohio or Austin to make the case,how hard can that be?
