“Lent comes to us as a providential time to change course, to recover the ability to react to the reality of evil which always challenges us. Lent is to be lived as a time of conversion, as a time of renewal for individuals and communities, by drawing close to God and by trustfully adhering to the Gospel.”
— Pope Francis.
Texas State Representative James Talarico (D.) is the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate. He defeated Representative Jasime Crockett (D.), purportedly because he is more “moderate”. Perish the thought, he is not.
Mr. Talarico is always referred to as a “moderate” Christian minister, whose background can finally (!) turn Texas “blue”. But is he really a “moderate” Christian? Witness the following quotes:
“Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state capitol. So when I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term. But, rather, as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy.”
“God is non-binary.”
“Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes, in fact there are six.”
Mr. Talarico uttered these comments and more. Are these quotes the comments from a “moderate” Christian?
Mr. Talarico is a homosexual, who sees no sin in his lifestyle. He has claimed that atheists are more “Christian” than most Christians. Are these hallmarks of moderation?
Mr. Talarico urged the China Joe Administration to put abortion clinics in every federal courthouse, and every national park. He also wanted to make abortion doctors and their staffs federal employees, so as to protect them. Are these ideas “moderate”?
Mr. Talarico also wants to eliminate billionaires and millionaires, confiscating their monies through taxation, and then redistribute these monies to guarantee the needs of the “needy”. Moderate? Maybe if you are a disciple of Marx and Engels, Lenin, and Bernie Sanders. But in America, no.
James Talarico is a big, fat, phony fraud. He is no more “moderate” than that lying shrew, Abigail Spanberger (D. Va.). But do not expect the media to portray him as he truly is. Texas voters need to beware. Vote this man down. Let me spend his exile from politics with Robert Francis O’Rourke.

Book of James (Talarico)
It’s official James Talarico will represent the Democrats in November; perhaps it’s a good time to reflect on how nuts he really is.
BY: Silvio Canto, The American Thinker (March 7, 2026).
It’s official and the Bible reader of Texas, a.k.a. James Talarico, will represent the Democrats in November. A Bible reader you say? Yes, he quotes the Bible more often than your Sunday pastor. Of course, the media does not say that he is a religious fanatic. They only do that with Republicans.
Anyway, get ready for the Book of James, Talarico style I mean. Let’s check this, from Charles C. W. Cooke, exposing Talarico’s interesting views:
‘White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.’
Cooke then has his own commentary:
Since he won the primary on Tuesday, these words have been highlighted as prima facie evidence of Talarico’s unsuitability for public office. In response, his already insufferable fans have cried foul. In their view, homing in on old utterances such as these is uncharitable, unbecoming, and unjust, and it ought not to be done by anyone who considers himself to be a respectable chronicler of contemporary political affairs.
Why ‘disqualifying’? Because they are indicative, that’s why. Because they point to a considered, premeditated, fully conscious extremism that ought to be unacceptable in any American public figure. Only a handful of people in these United States would ever think a thing such as this — let alone say it aloud. The words in question were not rash, or hasty, or uttered under duress. They were volunteered. They represent a window into the soul. They ought to be fatal.
The two most popular rejoinders to this view are that they were issued ‘six years ago’ and that they were offered up during a ‘crazy period.’ But neither of these briefs do anything other than underscore the initial problem. Six years is not a long time. I am judged on my words from six years ago. So are you. So is everyone else.
Yes, it was a few years ago—however, he has not stopped doing stuff like this since. Remember his “God is non-binary” comment? Or, relating the story of the angel appearing to Mary? As I understand Mr. Talarico’s story, the angel asked Mary for her consent or something like that. The angel understood that Mary had reproductive rights and did not force the young woman to have the baby.
Sorry that’s crazy, and I can’t wait for Mr. Talarico to explain that to all of those devout Catholic Hispanic women in South Texas.
You are going to love the Book of James because it is weird.

Texas Democrat James Talarico’s ‘moderate’ act exposes his party’s new scam
BY: Karol Markowicz, The New York Post (March 5, 2026).
Sixteen months after Kamala Harris cackled her way into a loss to President Trump, the Democratic Party seems to have realized its candidates need an image makeover to get voters to forget what their team actually believes.
The name of the game is acting normal and talking like a moderate.
For Democrats, that’s a stretch.
James Talarico of Texas is their bright new “moderate” hope. He won a US Senate primary election this week largely by touting his Christianity, being respectful to his opponents, and generally presenting himself as the boy-next-door counterweight to his excitable opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).
Look at this sane man, declared the media.
Time magazine touted his “authenticity” and gushed, “It’s populism and piety, the proletariat and the Pharisees all rolled into a Texas-sized operation.”
The Washington Post highlighted how Talarico was “leaning into his Christian faith in political debate, an atypical approach for a Democrat.”
The New Yorker’s soft-focus photo accompanied a fawning piece that described Talarico as looking “like he’d just finished his paper route and was eager to shovel the church’s walk.”
It did the trick for the Lone Star State’s Democrats.
But the moderate façade may already be crumbling.
In 2020, Talarico was tweeting about the “virus” of “racism.”
Who had it? White people, he said — all of them.
“White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus,” he posted. “But we spread it wherever we go — through our words, our actions, and our systems.
“We don’t have to be showing symptoms — like a white hood or a Confederate flag — to be contagious.”
This is what passes for “normal” among Democrats?
Ironically, Talarico defeated Crockett, a black woman, for the nomination.
Maybe he’s the one with that infection.
In 2021, Talarico, a member of the state legislature, argued in favor of a bill that would allow biological boys to play in girls’ sports.
“God is nonbinary,” he declared on the state House floor.
“The thing I want us all to be aware of is … modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes,” he went on. “In fact, there are six.”
Believing in six (or more!) genders is insane enough to most of us — but six biological sexes?
The mind reels.
That same year, Talarico very proudly announced that his office was the first to put pronouns on staffers’ business cards.
Democrats are acting like this is no big deal. Who can remember who said what?
Those comments were made six whole years ago, they say, when the Harvard-educated Talarico was but a boy of, ahem, 30.
Part of the equation, of course, is that the leftists want us to forget what they put us all through in the depths of the woke era, when they insisted “Silence is violence” and enforced their unhinged ideas by bullying any opposing voices into submission.
Yet Talarico wasn’t just caught up in the woke moment, he was in the vanguard: He posted about his “contagious” whiteness weeks before the death of George Floyd.
So voters need to look deeper at these “normal” Democrats, because the staid moderate act only lasts so long.
Just look at New Jersey and Virginia, whose new governors both veered sharply left after running “moderate” campaigns.
Garden State Gov. Mikie Sherrill positioned herself as a reasonable, middle-of-the-road candidate. She ran on affordability issues and rarely mentioned immigration.
Upon taking office, she immediately signed an executive order limiting United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity on state property — and started pushing a 7% sales tax hike.
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger portrayed herself as a moderate mom on the campaign trail, but she too ended state cooperation with ICE right after her inauguration.
Meanwhile her Democratic legislature is busily prepping a slew of far-left bills for her to sign — everything from raising taxes on services like Uber Eats to banning gas leaf blowers.
She’s also signed legislation pushing an extreme gerrymander of Virginia’s congressional districts, after pledging last year that she had no plans to do so.
Just last month, a CNN poll found that 58% of Americans, an all-time high, believe the Democratic Party has become too liberal.
Democrats badly want to appeal to those voters, who feel like the party has gotten on the leftist crazy train and has zero interest in jumping off.
But they’re skipping the part about running actual normal, sane candidates — in favor of people who can plausibly put on the act.
