Outstanding
James Talarico
Another thing is that you might've read on the webs that the Dems are pulling some of their spending out of Texas. Well, I don't know about that. It's another one of these things that get said that make me scratch my head. Lately I've been watching a lot of TeeVee on Tubi and Amazon, and let me tell you, the advertising is getting hot and heavy on both sides. If the Dems are conceding this one, you wouldn't know it from the ads. Lots of junk mail too.
So, who the hell is this guy??? There's been some info getting out with the ads and the webs defining this guy. But Talarico is responding. He's trying to redefine himself to be more palatable to the Texan sensibilities.
Is this for real? Is Talarico pulling our legs? I'd say yes, without having to look any at all. But some folks might want more information. So where do you go for that?
There's a website called Ballotpedia. I tried them before, and so I looked up Talarico on that site. It pretty much confirms that he's a super liberal dude. He represents an Austin district, which is a pretty liberal place. Might as well called it the People's Republic of Austin.
To summarize what I've found, they've got some scorecards on his votes. The Sierra Club likes him, so he got high scores there. Club for Growth dislikes him. Not sure what to make of that, but his score is really low there. Some cultural scorecards rate him very, very low. That may not come as a surprise, based upon what he has been quoted saying. The Freedom site rates him very low as well. He's a super-commie-lib.
Forget the re-branding efforts. The guy is as lib as they come.
If he wins, it will only be because Texans have fallen asleep. There might be a danger of that, so don't let 'em fool ya. They'll try to sneak him into office under the radar. That's what this rebranding is all about. It might even explain his missing in action recently. Indeed, Talarico has a history going missing in action. Especially on some types of votes. The guy doesn't want to be pinned down on some issues. One of those was a vote on repealing an anti-sodomy law. He was conveniently missing in action on that one.
Don't fall to sleep on this one. But that might happen. Get out there and bounce this rascal before he has a chance to do some real damage.

Fossil fuels saved the whales
It's been awhile since I heard anybody mention the whales.
They must be doing okay.
Maybe we should be worried about other things, like our freedom.
Nov 17, 2012: The original post is below:
There aren't too many folks who haven't heard the environmentalist's pleas to save the whales. Human beings are so cruel, they claim. Only humans would hunt whales to extinction for their blubber. In the old days, whale blubber was turned into whale oil, which was used to light homes before there was such a thing as electricity.
If it wasn't for oil, whales would have been hunted to extinction for sure by now.
If it wasn't for coal, forests would have been denuded of trees by now.
If we go Barak to the future, the trees and the whales won't be safe. But those who won't think for themselves believe what the environmentalists say. They will stop the fossil fuel industry from saving the whales and the trees.
Yeah, I know it all sounds so extreme. But truth is extreme. So are lies. You don't find the truth by splitting the difference.
Save the whales. Keep the fossil fuel industry going.
Opinion: I don't trust the news anymore
Inflation numbers are higher just ahead of the election. A breakdown of the stats shows higher energy prices and housing leading the charge. In my opinion, the energy prices are being rigged. The Federal Reserve uses this data as an excuse to raise interest rates. Interest rates impact mortgage rates, which raises inflation statistics yet again. in other words, a rigged market is raising the cost of living in order to ifluence how the public votes. It is a pattern. In 2008, the stock market crashed. Each time the left needs something, they get some kind of crisis.
I'm not buying any of it. According to the late Milton Friedman, inflation is caused by monetary policy. ALWAYS.
As a famous person once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. This election season is loaded with them.

Whoa! Talarico news!
10/13/26:
This is one really strange story. If the audio file that corraborated Talarico's treatment was fake, then what guarantee that ANY news about it is true? In other words, it is one's word against another.
10/11/26:
Maybe Talarico is a Houdini and can escape this one. A recording of a hospital employee shows up as potential confirmation that he was treated in a mental hospital. Talarico's campaign denies story.
Did Trump and Putin Just Kill London’s Oil Game?
My question is how does this affect the price? Who is accepting delivery and what guarantee that they charge the prices at the pump that they already are charging?

Venus' hot surface temperature not caused by carbon dioxide?
Perhaps the consensus is wrong? I've doubted it for decades now.
Confirmation?American Thinker article: Why Venus data undermines the consensus on greenhouse gas warming.
