Talarico eats sushi!

I had lunch with an old friend, an experienced Hollywood Producer, yesterday, who observed that we are in a “spiritual” war. For those with even a modestly religious upbringing, it is hard to ignore the prospect that this is exactly what we face. The world seems to be coming to a point, doesn’t it? The Talaricos, Sanderses, Momdanis, the ayatollahs, Starmerses, Clintons, Obamas, etc. on one side and the Trumps, Paxtons, Rubios, (Franklin) Grahams, Muses, and many, many more of us on the other. What if this is true? On Perelandra, Elwin Ransom had the advantage of confronting spiritual warfare directly and undeniably and confronted it tooth and nail. Will we come this? How will we know?

This is the real exploitation. A child abuse case is not raw material for a Senate campaign hit job. If Muse’s account is right, career prosecutors did what prosecutors must do: charge hard, try the case, respect the burden of proof, confront the limits of a hung jury, and avoid forcing a young victim through another brutal cross-examination when the child wanted to heal. Talarico’s narrative requires voters to ignore all that and imagine a Paxton favor-trade without evidence. That is cynical. The child asked for privacy. The prosecutors asked for restraint. Talarico saw a campaign weapon.

Epstein revelations and that Trump used them during the election means to Democrats that every opponent is a pedo. This is now common practice all the way down to social media: Trump is a pedo and all opponents of the Left including even social media arguments are pedos. Pedo is simply the new Fascist, NAZI, Racist, Sexist, Rapists. All men are Rapists and all non Leftists are pedos.

I will add this abuse is the price of civility and the rule of Law.

Perhaps someday the price will be too high, meanwhile we all pay it… don’t we?

The only men the socialist run are momma’s boys who live off their parents and believe in child mutilation

Having to go to bat for for Adam Dean Hoffman to swipe at Talarico screams desperation. Nicely done!

Talarico doesn't believe his own bullshit - why should we?

If you're justifying Paxton's handling of that case, - then using criticism of that to whine - You're even more despicably craven than I thought.

Talarico is dangerous.

Thank you Mr Muse for bring this forth. I don't live in Texas but this is something I abhor. Any adult that uses a child for their own personal gain, has no business in the public trust. Texas please use your vote wisely. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Talarico is one evil dude. Pray that all Texas sees him for what he is.

Somehow, I think that abusing and exploiting children comes naturally to Talarico. Color me not surprised.

James Talarico, he of the non-binary God and 7 genders is a hot steaming chunk of intestinal feces. Hoffman will not only serve prison time, he will be labeled a child abuser for the rest of his life. He (Hoffman) probably deserves life without parole as do all child predators, but this is the real world, the world that freed OJ. Sometimes juries don't do what we want. That's also life.

I believe Talarico using a child's trauma and pain as a lever in his campaign sort of means he'll never meet his God, non-binary or not.

And I'm good with that.

People do not understand that a great many criminal cases end with plea deals for numerous reasons, such as a teenager refusing to be humiliated by a criminal defense attorney a second time. (And don't even try to tell me I don't know that is what happened—that's what those slimeballs do.)

I read today that Talarico, 37, who wants to be governor of Texas, has only one checking account and it is with his mother. What else does anyone need to know about him?
