Republicans are setting sights on Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico’s questionable response to efforts from Chinese nationals to buy vast swaths of land across the state.

Republican candidate Ken Paxton hosted an event outside of Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph in Universal City, Texas on Tuesday morning to shed light on Talarico’s poor record.

Paxton claimed that Talarico’s votes in the Texas House aided China in their efforts to “steal Texas land.” Talarico is noted to have voted against SB 17, which restricted property purchases in the state from foreign nationals from adversarial countries, and SB 667, to prevent state agencies from conducting business with entities tied to adversarial countries.

Also Talarico has been soft on illegal immigration and an irrational believer in "climate change."

[Carl Vehse]

Talarico is an utter disgrace to Texas and to the Milky Way galaxy.

Ken Paxton needs to step up his game and totally barnstorm Tejas or he will go down in flames.

Why Banned Books at Church? Our library at St. Andrew's is home to a number of banned books, from picture books to young adult novels. We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice...common themes…particular experiences and identities being censored.
As a church, we feel it's important to make these books available to the community. One of our core values as a progressive Christian community is to, “strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.” Reading stories written by people with identities and life experiences different from our own helps us shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people. We can also find parts of ourselves in these stories, which helps us grow into the fullness of our being. Children, teens, young adults, and older adults can find affirmation in the books they read. Sometimes, stories even shine light on hidden and painful experiences letting readers know they are not alone.
As progressive Christians, we are committed to a path of life-long learning. We can't keep growing if we close our minds and shut out different ways of being in, experiencing, and understanding the world. Caring for the stories in banned books is one small, but important way of proclaiming our love for everyone, everywhere, all the time. Let's read and celebrate banned books together!

If Talawacker won he would be a US senator on January. You think dems would start thinking about higher energy taxes?

[Round Earther]

Once Texans hear the things that Talarico has said, Paxton will run away with it.

But thus far, nobody in all of Texas knows what Talarico has said.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

A few of us do, but not enough of us — yet.

[odawg]

That is idiocy. Will they forget about all the other stupidities he has come up with, basically every time he opens his mouth.

[bwest]

Agreed. He’s doing nothing.

"...Republicans Have Found Their Message Against James Talarico..."

Hahahaha...they must have "found" on the heel of the boot they were supposed to drink piss out of just under the instructions written on the heel!

Honestly-did it really take them that long to "find their message", or were they just conserving their ammunition?

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

Talarico is an utter disgrace to Texas and to the Milky Way galaxy.

All the other galaxies already have a policy of "No Tala Freakos Allowed."

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Political old timers say that Texans don’t pay attention until after
after Labor Day.

[thegagline]

I’ll wait for the book on tape version of this classic. 🤮

[thegagline]

[rlmorel]

Probably true in a lot of areas...what struck my funny bone was how dang hard did they have to look to find a weakness?

Make Texas Vegan Again!

Their message? Good God...ain't it obvious? “He's a faggot,atheist Maoist..and he's proud of it”.

[Antoninus]

Talarico on illegal immigration: “Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front.”

A video of him saying it is part of an ad campaign called “Low-T Talarico.”

Plus his voting history on trans surgery for minors. He will swear that he is opposed, but I don't think he is comfortable betraying trans principles. His alma mater is St. Andrews in Austin. I have not personally seen their library's books for minors, but some FR posters say they are shocked. Talarico has called theology he doesn't like "sloppy theology" but that is a good description of some things that he preaches.

One more point. He criticized the judge who denied Karmelo Anthony, the Texas track meet murderer, a new trial, citing very "sloppy" arguments indeed!
