James Talarico Wins the Coveted Endorsement of… Beto O’Rourke (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/x video.

James Talarico, the Democrat who just won the Senate primary in Texas and has positively bizarre views of God and Christianity, has just won the prized endorsement of Beto O’Rourke, who praised him during an appearance on MSNOW with Jen Psaki.

O’Rourke, has famously run for various offices in Texas repeatedly and has lost every single time.

For some reason, the left keeps running back to him for advice and political analysis.

In the clip below, O’Rourke says:

“I’ve never been more excited. Let’s start with James Talarico. This is one of, if not the most, talented politicians I have ever seen. Those of us who have watched his career in the Texas House have known that he’s incredibly talented, but for the rest of the nation that got to see him in the closing months of this really competitive primary, fought against another generational talent in Jasmine Crockett, who made James an even better candidate, um, we couldn’t ask for anyone better to be at the top of the ticket.”

Watch:

Well, if Beto feels that way about Talarico, it’s in the bag, isn’t it?

The liberal outlet Politico doesn’t seem convinced:

Talarico and Democrats had hoped for months that the preacher would get to face scandal-tarred Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, but Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a less objectionable general-election foil, outperformed expectations and fought him to a draw, forcing a runoff.

For the disciplined and studious Democrat who can commit scripture and prepared remarks to memory in a matter of minutes, and who is known by aides to linger over edits to social media posts and ads, the unknown outcome of the runoff is an unwelcome twist, the seemingly rare thing he cannot control.

Even with a 12-week head start on whomever voters select as his opponent in a brass-knuckled, dregs-scraping, cash-consuming GOP runoff, Talarico could still face a four-term incumbent with a long track record of big general-election wins.

Anything can happen, but Talarico faces an uphill battle from here.

And an endorsement from Beto O’Rourke might not move the needle as much as Democrats hope.

James Talarico clinched the Democrat nomination for United States Senate on Tuesday night.

While the slick talking politician attempts to brand himself as a moderate candidate, he is anything but.

Talarico claimed that Jesus Christ was a radical feminist:

He declared that God is non-binary despite the fact that the Bible refers to God as the Father:

He also said that transgender people need access to abortion:

If that wasn’t enough he said that science tells us there are 6 sexes:

James Talarico is a radical-left Beto 2.0 and Texans need to know the truth. As goes Texas, so goes the nation.

Will Christian pastors throughout the state warn their congregations about this wolf in sheep’s clothing?

BOOM: Elisabeth Hasselbeck HUMILIATES The View’s Open-Borders Leftists with Cold Hard Facts — Reminds Them Their Own Audience Needed Security Clearance to Enter

Former The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck detonated a truth bomb on live television, leaving the far-left panel scrambling as she dismantled their open-borders talking points and delivered a blunt defense of strong border security.

The former co-host lectured the panel after the far-left hosts began trashing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and criticizing the administration’s tougher immigration policies.

Instead of going along with the usual script, Hasselbeck delivered a blistering reality check.

Hasselbeck deconstructed the logic of the far-left panel by pointing directly to the people sitting in the studio. In a masterful move, she turned the camera on the audience to illustrate the necessity of vetting and boundaries.

“How many people in the audience here had to go through security to get here? Raise your hand, just be honest,” Hasselbeck challenged. “Otherwise you go to jail, I guess, for illegal trespassing, right? This is an authorized audience. They had to go through security to get through the border to get right here to just hear us talk. We need strong borders more than ever right now.”

The silence from the co-hosts was deafening as Hasselbeck drove the point home: If a daytime talk show requires a “border” to ensure safety, why doesn’t the United States of America?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
I think all lives matter to God, and we’re in uncommon times, so we need to have uncommon sense about things like this. Yes, there will be mistakes made, but I think if Kristi Noem were up for promotion right now and she put forward the statistics that zero illegals released into the U.S. for 10 months straight have crossed, that nearly 3 million aliens have left the United States, that we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years, that fentanyl trafficking is down 56% at the border, and that daily encounters have gone down 96%—hang on one second.

We need a strong border, especially now with our current global situation. And I believe that you may say you don’t want border control and you’re against ICE, but I actually don’t believe you in your daily lives. How many people in the audience here had to go through security to get here? Raise your hand. Just be honest. Otherwise you go to jail, I guess, for illegal trespassing, right?

This is an authorized audience. They had to go through security to get through the border to get right here just to hear us talk. We need strong borders more than ever right now.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
We are being infiltrated by terrorists.

Sunny Hostin:
But listen, we were not on the border when Renee Goode and Alex Peretti were murdered, and death is not a mistake. That was murder. That was murder.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
As were those killed by illegal immigrants. Murder.

AWW: Left Wing Media Analyst Says People at CNN Don’t Like Scott Jennings, Have Complained to Management About Him

Left wing media analyst Oliver Darcy, formerly of CNN, is reporting that the people who work at the Trump-hating network don’t like Scott Jennings, the only conservative voice on staff.

Darcy, who broke into the news business by writing for conservative outlets like Campus Reform, used to work with noted potato Brian Stelter on media reporting, before leaving the network to launch his own media newsletter, which is popular with liberal journos.

Darcy claims that other people at CNN have complained to management about Scott Jennings.

NewsBusters reports:

Writing Monday night at his newsletter site Status, former conservative reporter-turned-snake Oliver Darcy beclowned himself by tag-teaming with a cadre of anonymous sources inside his former employer CNN to claim our friend, talk radio host, MRC Bulldog Award winner, and senior political commentator Scott Jennings has become isolated in CNN with guests increasingly canceling on the network so as not have to associate with him.

His claim? He told readers that “CNN leadership being made aware of the concerns” he’s become for other commentators and “actual journalists” considering his weekend scoop on X that U.S. intelligence had predicted Iran would attack U.S. military targets.

Darcy whined in his piece “CNN’s Cosplaying Correspondent” that a quad-bylined, anonymously-sourced CNN.com story — featuring obsequious Deep State tool Natasha Bertrand — “pour[ed] cold water on a claim anonymously peddled by the Trump administration that had ricocheted across MAGA Media…that Iran was not planning to launch an unprovoked strike on U.S. forces in the Middle East.”…

He then insisted Jennings’s X post “did not sit well with many of CNN’s actual journalists” and “some…were frustrated, to put it mildly, that Jennings had stepped outside his lane of punditry and used his platform to credulously amplify absurd anonymous claims…that CNN’s own journalists quickly undercut.”

The funniest thing about that last part is that the liberal media loves to use anonymous sources to smear Trump.

Just to give you a reminder, this is the type of reporting that Darcy does.

Here’s Darcy on MSNOW complaining about Nick Shirley’s reporting in Minnesota.

If this guy is against Scott Jennings, then Jennings is doing something right.

Texas Border Patrol Fatally Shoots Man Who Fled Checkpoint and Shot at Officers

Border Patrol agents on Wednesday fatally shot a man who fled a border checkpoint in a stolen car and shot at officers.

The deceased shooter was identified as 33-year-old James Douglas McMillan of Wisconsin.

McMillan was crossing through a border patrol checkpoint east of El Paso when agents asked him to pull over.

He immediately sped off and began shooting out his window at agents and at civilian cars.

Border Patrol Agents pursued McMillan for 70 miles and eventually stopped his vehicle with a maneuver.

“McMillan barricaded himself in his vehicle and eventually pointed his weapon towards officers – officers then discharged their weapons,” Texas DPS said.

Per Fox News:

The shooter who fired at officers after fleeing a border checkpoint is identified by DPS as James Douglas McMillan, 33, of Greenfield, Wisconsin and was driving a stolen car from Arizona.

According to DPS, around 10:30 am, McMillan fled a checkpoint along I-10 in Sierra Blanca after a USBP drug K-9 alerted to the vehicle and agents directed McMillan to pull over for a secondary search. He led officers on a high speed chase and began shooting out the window at DPS Troopers, other responding law enforcement from the Culberson Co. Sheriff’s Office, Hudspeth Co. Sheriff’s Office, Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) and indiscriminately at civilian vehicles.

As law enforcement returned fire, DPS Troopers performed a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver and successfully stopped the suspect car. McMillan barricaded himself in his car and eventually pointed his weapon towards officers – officers then discharged their weapons. He was then shot and killed by law enforcement. No law enforcement officers or civilians were injured.

US Court Sentences Japanese Yakuza Gangster to Twenty Years in Prison for Trafficking Drugs, Weapons and Nuclear Material

Takeshi Ebisawa has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Two decades in prison for dealing in international death and mayhem.

The world is getting more dangerous by the day, and the perspective of criminal groups branching out of their (already quite deadly) endeavors to trafficking in nuclear material is a nightmarish scenario that is all too real, now.

Today (4), a New York court has sentenced a member of the Japanese Yakuza mafia to 20 years in prison after he was convicted of trafficking nuclear material, drugs, and weapons.

CBS News reported:

“Takeshi Ebisawa, 61, has been jailed since April 2022 on the drug and weapons charges, along with his Thai co-defendant Somphop Singhasiri, following years of investigations by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

In February 2024, he was also accused of trying to sell military-grade nuclear material, along with narcotics including heroin and methamphetamine, to buy weapons including surface-to-air missiles for armed groups in Myanmar.”

A DEA sting, with an operative posing as an Iranian general, was used to ensnare Ebisawa, who ended up arrested in April 2022, in Manhattan.

“After initially offering uranium, Ebisawa proposed to supply the General with ‘plutonium’ that would be even ‘better’ and more ‘powerful’ than uranium for Iran’s use,” the Justice Department said on Monday.”

Charming fellow, right?

Ebisawa claimed to have access to a large quantity of nuclear materials for sale.

“To support his claim, he sent the source photographs depicting rocky substances with Geiger counters measuring radiation, claiming they contained thorium and uranium, the papers said.”

Why Doug Band’s Upcoming Testimony to House Oversight on the Epstein Investigation Is So Dangerous to Bill Clinton

Former President Bill Clinton walks with an unidentified man, with a shadowy image of Jeffrey Epstein in the background, highlighting controversial connections.

Former President Bill Clinton walks with an unidentified man, with a shadowy image of Jeffrey Epstein in the background, highlighting controversial connections.
Doug Band knows where the bodies are buried when it comes to the Clinton-Epstein ties.

Band can cause more than simple reputational damage to Clinton.

Yesterday night, Cristina Laila reported here on TGP about the new explosive list of people called to give testimonies on the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine investigation by the House Oversight Committee, as you can read in Comer Goes Into Overdrive, Calls on Seven More People to Appear For Transcribed Interviews on Epstein – Including Bill Gates and Former Obama WH Counsel Kathy Ruemmler.

Here’s the complete list:

The list has caused a sensation, after all, it is full of heavy hitters such as billionaires Bill Gates, Leon Black, and Ted Waitt.

There’s also ample possibility of new revelations with the testimonies of Epstein’s lieutenants, Sarah Kellen and Lesley Groff.

With all that, precious little attention has been given to the presence of former Bill Clinton top aide Doug Band.

But that testimony may turn out catastrophic for ‘Bubba’.

Bill Clinton swims with Maxwell and mystery woman / Epstein documents

While he served in the White House, Doug Band is mostly considered ‘the architect of Clinton post-presidency’.

Band reportedly first met Jeffrey Epstein in 2002, during the high-profile Aid Charity Africa trip on the ‘Lolita Express’ alongside Bill and celebrities like Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker – and a few young women.

In the years since then, Band has reportedly said – more than once – that he got ‘bad vibes’ from Epstein, and urged Clinton to cut ties right away.

He also allegedly declined Epstein’s invitation to visit Little St. James Island himself.

As we know, Clinton went ahead and flew on Epstein’s plane more than two dozen times in the early 2000s, always ostensibly for foundation-related travel.

Band is also known to have maintained extensive email contact with Ghislaine Maxwell, referring to her as his ‘social matchmaker’, ‘lover’, and even ‘pimp’ in their exchanges.

Band was the creator of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), an entity which both Epstein and Maxwell have, in court documents, alleged to help conceive and fund.

In later years, Band claimed that he tried to separate the Clinton family from Maxwell, barring her from events after Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.

In 2020, Band aired his grievances against the Clinton family in a long Vanity Fair interview.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton in the White House.

From the 2020 Vanity Fair article:

“Band told me he had been trying to push Epstein out of Clinton’s orbit ever since their much-discussed 2002 trip to Africa aboard Epstein’s private 727, dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’. Band recalled that Epstein had made a bunch of ridiculous claims on the trip, like boasting that he invented the derivatives market. Band said he had no idea about Epstein’s sex crimes back then but got enough bad vibes that he advised Clinton to end the relationship. But Clinton continued to socialize with Epstein and take his money. In 2006 Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton made more than two dozen trips on Epstein’s jet around this time, Epstein’s flight logs show.”

And here we have the kicker:

“In January 2003, according to Band, Clinton visited Epstein’s private Caribbean Island, Little St. James. Band said it was one of the few trips he declined to go on in his time with Clinton. A Clinton spokesperson said the president had never been to the island and provided detailed travelogue entries of the period in question that did not contain a visit.”

If Band states that in his Oversight Committee testimony, he can put Clinton in all kinds of legal trouble, starting with charges for Lying to Congress.

Band also told Vanity Fair about other connections between the Clintons and Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Chelsea had ties to Epstein and Maxwell, Band said; he showed me a photo of Bill and Chelsea posing with Epstein and Maxwell at the King of Morocco’s wedding. Chelsea remained friends with Maxwell for years after the press revealed Maxwell was a close associate of Epstein’s. For instance, Chelsea invited Maxwell to her 2010 wedding at the Brooke Astor estate in Rhinebeck, New York, after Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to procuring sex from a minor.”

BRUTAL: Rep. Pat Fallon ROASTS Tim Walz – Walz Laughs at Himself Like an Idiot! (VIDEO)

Two politicians engaged in a discussion during a legislative hearing, with a chart in the background showing poverty statistics.

After grilling Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the rampant fraud in Minnesota committed by the Somali community, accusing him of “criminal negligence or wild incompetence,” Rep. Pat Fallon nuked Walz with a career-ending roast. 

Fallon showed Walz the pure data, with Somalis being represented in extreme disproportion, among the uneducated, those living in poverty, food stamp, Medicaid, welfare, and recipients, and those charged with social service fraud.

Before concluding his questioning of Walz, Fallon went on a tangent, asking why he dropped out of the race for Governor. “Did it have anything to do with this epic, historic, awful fraud?” he asked Walz.

Fallon then slammed Walz for ushering in “one of the largest rip-offs of the American taxpayer in our history” and went on to tell the story of how Joe Biden and Kamala Harris became Vice President of the United States.

“When Barack Obama was choosing his vice presidential candidate, he had three criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn’t as smart as him, and had less talent and charisma, and couldn’t possibly outshine him. So he picked Joe Biden,” he told Walz. “And then Joe Biden, in 2020, he used the exact same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn’t as smart as him, had less talent and charisma, and wouldn’t outshine him. And he picked Kamala Harris,” he continued.

“And then in 2024, Governor, I think it’s very evident why Kamala Harris picked you.”

Walz, laughing out loud, shouted, “I wouldn’t know, Congressman!” He ironically proved Fallon’s point that he is not intelligent, lacks talent and charisma, and couldn’t outshine a dead lightbulb.

Fallon put the nail in the coffin, responding, “Mr. Chairman, the talent pool isn’t just shallow; we have hit the shore!”

WATCH:

Fallon: In September, roughly the fall last year, did you announce you’re running for governor again?

Walz: I believe that’s correct.

Fallon: Okay. And then I think you said in your quote here, “we’ve made historic progress, but we’re not done yet.” And then just three and a half months later, on January 5, you dropped out. I got to ask you why. I mean, were you tired of making “historic progress”?

Walz: No, Congressman. I think I’ve done the job for two terms, and I said, talking with my family, and I said, I want to focus on doing the job.

Fallon: Did it have anything to do with this epic, historic, awful fraud?

Walz: It has everything to do with trying to do stuff right for Minnesota.

Fallon: The facts are your leadership, and really your lack of leadership has been responsible one of the largest rip offs of the American taxpayer in our history. And you traded, I believe, political expediency, the currency of political expediency for your integrity. And you know, Mr. Chairman, I don’t know if you know this, but it’s widely, it’s been widely reported that in 2008, when Barack Obama was choosing his vice presidential candidate, he had three criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn’t as smart as him and had less talent and charisma and couldn’t possibly outshine him. So he picked Joe Biden.

Fallon Continues: And then Joe Biden, in 2020, he used the exact same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn’t as smart as him, had less talent and charisma, and wouldn’t outshine him. And he picked Kamala Harris. And then in 2024, Governor, I think it’s very evident why Kamala Harris picked you.

Walz: I wouldn’t know, Congressman!

Fallon: Mr. Chairman, the talent pool isn’t just shallow; we have hit the shore!

BREAKING REPORT: DOJ’s Autopen Case Against Joe Biden and Aides Closed by Prosecutors in Pirro’s DC US Attorney’s Office

The Justice Department’s autopen case against Joe Biden and aides closed by the DC US Attorney’s Office, according to The New York Times and CBS News.

According to CBS News, prosecutors in Jeanine Pirro’s office dropped the criminal case into whether Joe Biden’s aides unlawfully used the autopen to issue pardons.

CBS News reported:

Federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office are dropping a criminal probe into whether former President Joe Biden and his aides unlawfully used an autopen to issue pardons, a person briefed on the matter told CBS News.

Two sources confirmed the existence of the probe, with one telling CBS News that the matter has since been closed because prosecutors were never able to find a legal hook to be able to pursue the matter further. CBS News has not determined precisely when the case ended.

Last June, President Trump ordered an investigation into whether the Biden administration used an autopen machine to sign key presidential documents like pardons — months after Mr. Trump had claimed his predecessor’s pardons were illegitimate.

Mr. Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi and the White House counsel in a memo to probe what he claimed was a “conspiracy” to “abuse the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline.”

The New York Times also reported that the DOJ closed the Biden autopen investigation.

The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.

Last March, the Oversight Project discovered there was a second frequently used autopen signature for Joe Biden’s pardons and commutations.

Autopen A and Autopen B have slight differences in the signatures.

Later it was discovered that a third autopen signature was in use starting the first week of the Biden Presidency to sign proclamations.
