Stephen Colbert's Election Interference Stunt/Hoax Works as the Democrat Establishment Fights Dirty to Block a Proud Black Woman from Attaining Higher Office

The Free Beacon's top Anti-Racism Reporter, Andrew Stiles, reports on the disgusting White Supremacy Plot to deny the Democrat senate nomination to the feisty, capable, Proud Black Woman Jasmine Ratchet (whom he erroneously calls Jasmine "Crockett," for some reason).

Mess in Texas: Billionaire-Backed Talarico Shrugs Off Racism Scandal To Steal Senate Nod From Jasmine Crockett

The media and Democratic elites got what they wanted: an unemployed black woman.

Andrew Stiles
March 4, 2026


James Talarico pulled off what is sure to be a controversial upset on Tuesday, defeating Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary. It was a contest marred by bitter infighting. Talarico faced credible accusations of racism, but still prevailed thanks to a billionaire-funded, establishment-approved, and media-facilitated push to brand Crockett as "unelectable." Many considered that code for black and proud.

Journalists and other Democratic elites fawned over Talarico, a state lawmaker with the looks and demeanor of a fifth-grade boy giving an oral report for extra credit. They adored his "aw shucks, why can't we all just get along?" routine. In glowing profile after glowing profile, they marveled at his Christianity-themed rhetoric. (He once declared that "God is non-binary" while arguing that men should be allowed to compete in women's sports.) Former president Barack Obama called him a "terrific, talented young man." He was Beto O'Rourke 2.0--a new and improved version of the liberal darling who could "finally turn Texas blue" by appealing to normal Americans.

Meanwhile, a billionaire-funded super PAC linked to Talarico--who repeatedly assailed the influence of billionaire-funded super PACs--relentlessly attacked Crockett on the airwaves. The Lone Star Rising PAC, started by a longtime friend of Talarico just days before the candidate launched his Senate campaign, spent millions on negative ads against Crockett over the past few weeks. LinkedIn founder and Jeffrey Epstein pal Reid Hoffman was among the billionaires who bankrolled the super PAC, along with hedge fund titans Stephen Mandel and Mark Heising. The group also received millions via the same "dark money" networks Talarico had promised to ban via "anti-corruption" legislation.

Eyepatch John McCain also lost, but that wasn't due to racism. That was due to Able-ism. We were able to kick his ass to the curb, so we did.

The Fake and Gay "News" Media continues insisting that it was Trump who blocked Talarico from appearing on Fake and Gay "Comedian" Stephen Colbert's show, thus boosting his cache.

In fact, it was Stephen Colbert who blocked Talarico from appearing on his show. CBS told Colbert that he couldn't just have the Fake Christian Closeted Homosexual Talarico on his show, he would also have to schedule an interview with his Proud Black Woman opponent.

Colbert said: "Not on my honor as a South Carolina gentleman shall I ever play host to a such a poorly-behaved Negress." Then he challenged a dusky foreign Mixed-Blood to a duel.

But now that Colbert got his wish and defeated the unelectably-black woman, let's see what he's won.

How electable is this swish?


Update: Talarico: "I believe our southern border should be a giant Welcome Mat." No that's real.

33 On how many fewer folks vote in the run off elections vs the primary, I went and grabbed the 2022 results Paxton had for AG...

In the primary, he got 823K votes of the 1.927M cast. In the run off, he got 633K out of 931K.

This is like special election turnout. TX doesn't show for the run offs anymore than anyone else does for special elections. So, in a run off, it's a different ball game for who can win b/c you'll have half as many voters as the primary, probably at best. And those voters will be older, whiter, and more female...b/c women vote more than men.

As I've been saying, if the Dums had a middle-aged or older white guy who wasn't a repulsive clown, he would win the Dum nomination in 2028 in a walk.

I know he has multiple posts ready to go - because you cannot put out the volume of posts he does without having a a bunch of drafts pretty close. And trust me, I know how hard that is. Because he has to write about stuff that really doesn't excite him sometimes I imagine, but will excite part of his audience. I write for fun, and it is hard. He's writing for money, it's harder.

White guys only gain prominence in the Democrat party because they get ignored by larger media, are deeply corrupt, or are parodies of men at this point.

The state has a very large contingent of corporate Republicans who started in politics as Democrats in the 80s. From voters to politicians.

My read is that that contingent is slowly dying out, and most of the imports from other states are more interested in offending Democrats than playing nice with them.

81 I learned a lot from Scott Adams, who was definitely a subject matter expert in persuasion and branding.

One thing is you don't go trying to brand yourself as a "low IQ individual" because it will work.

When Trump did the garbage thing he didn't dress up as garbage or complain that they called his people garbage. He got in a garbage truck and drove it. That flipped the script entirely because it showed the namecallers for the uppity people they were and he didn't have to say a word.

You can't just put yourself in a commercial and keep repeating that you're a low IQ individual - or that's what you will be. Even if you are trying to imply that it's "racist". Dumbass. Then again only a low IQ individual would think it was a good idea.

Popular former governor. Popular because the GOP legislature overrode his veto, but still.

So, his name recognition is sky high and people don't automatically hate him.

However, I do think he's the actual underdog. Senate races drive turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them, making the races reflect PVI more than anything else.

And the GOP has a 100,000 active voter lead so far.

Governors races are much more defined by local issues than partisanship. Statewide, non-federal races are just materially seen differently by enough voters to make a difference.

But once we hit federal races, base partisanship wins out. It's a pattern we can see repeatedly over the last couple of decades, and it's just gotten more pronounced.

Key Backers and Funding Sources -
Texas Sands PAC (Miriam Adelson): Despite Talarico's anti-billionaire platform, his largest financial supporter in 2024 was the Texas Sands PAC, funded by Republican casino magnate Miriam Adelson. He received $59,000 from this group.

Lone Star Rising: A super PAC that has spent nearly $930,000 on pro-Talarico media buys and direct mail, with backing from donors including:
Simone Coxe (Austin philanthropist)
Susan Sarofim (Houston billionaire)
Mark Jacobsen (IntraFi CEO)
Pete McCarthy (Houston restaurateur)
Don Henley (Musician)

Progressive Organizations: The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) endorsed Talarico, citing his economic populist message.

229 Well we seem to have hit one of the corvettes I mentioned earlier. Hegseth mentioned that it was "Damaged" ,"sunk" but the photos show a small fire and the vessel underway. Also an accompanying article about a fast boat dicking up a sailor who had fallen overboard during the attack.

There seems to be very little damage to the ship, not what I would expect if we had control over the area. Damage is consistent with a Hellfire from a loitering platform not a gun or an aircraft launched air to ship.

Why no second pass?

The ship seems to have gotten away for now.

So much for air superiority.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt

Yesterday, I came across charts and the whole trans id issue is vanishing among the yutes. It was social hysteria. Gender ID of weird subtypes dropped by nearly 1/3rd last year from IIRC 22-23 percent to around 16 percent. My guess is further drops are going to occur. Don't discount either the Trump war on DEI and higher ed.

Some of those kids, like the recent reveal of disabilities claimed at Stanford, are because they thought they might get rewarded for their brave stance of gender fluid on admissions.

I think the whole troon op is withering from the harsh light of reality and the lessening pressure for weird identities to get jobs and admission to schools. Wine moms are going to be the hardest hit.

I have already been calling him "Screwtape". His lies are so transparent to anyone who is familiar with the Word of God.

His lies about the Spirit asking Mary's permission to be the mother of God has no Scriptural support - he makes that part up.

His lies about God being non-binary is he incorrectly claims that the Hebrew word for Spirit in Genesis 1, is feminine. (it isn't, its gender is Common and it is used in with a conjunction in the passage he cites) He feels that a language gendered noun means that what it identifies is of a particular biological sex.

If you are a Christians and it isn't obvious, you need to horsewhip your spiritual leader for gross incompetence and dereliction as a shepherd.

I think personally that Cornyn hit his high water mark here. We are seeing the result of him spending 70 million bucks versus 4.1 million by Paxton but money does not buy love. Cornyn already has pissed off gunowners (Red Flag and that monstrous bill, past support for illegal amnesty, and other douchebaggery over the years.) Statistically, 1/3 runoff races has the person coming in second in the primary actually win the runoff. And 42 percent for a multi term incumbent spending that kind of money is pretty lousy. Figure a tossup 50/50 right now and it will depend on Paxton's actions more than Cornyn.

Oddly, Trump hasn't done what The Complex keeps telling us every day that Trump will do by sundown. Round-up his hundred million domestic enemies and ship them in boxcars to extermination camps in the Everglades and the Mojave Desert, nuke every other nation's capital, declare himself US Emperor for Life, order ICE to summarily execute on-sight everyone they think is an illegal alien, and confiscate everyone's savings and disburse it to his family members, tax-free!

________

Comedy has always been about being outrageous -- even if for the sake of being outrageous -- and the envelope was always pushed. The Lenny Bruce skits that got him arrested in the 1960s would be PG-13 today.

I think what happened more recently is comedians ran out of material, stopped being funny, and tried to make up for it by being disgustingly vulgar. Female comics in particular -- especially the reasonably attractive ones -- discovered they could get famous by talking endlessly about sucking dick, eating pussy, butt stuff, etc.

So guess what we got? A lot of female comics talking endlessly about sucking dick, eating pussy, butt stuff, etc.

Headline (Courhouse News Service 09/08/2025)

"North Carolina agrees to turn over voter records in settlement"

Excerpt:

"U.S. District Judge Richard Myers II signed the parties’ joint agreement, which requires the state to produce several reports detailing compliance with federal voting laws, obtain missing voter information, and turn over the state’s voter records to the federal government “upon request.”

The agreement aims “to ensure that the remedy complies fully with federal law, minimizes any inconvenience to voters, and ensures that each affected voter’s ballot will be counted for federal offices if the voter is otherwise eligible to vote under North Carolina law,” the parties said in their request for the order.

The federal government sued North Carolina and its elections board in May, alleging violations of the Help America Vote Act by failing to properly rectify errors in voter registration records. The elections board used a registration form that failed to clearly require a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Those details are needed to confirm eligibili

But you neglect Cornyn's baggage which is his past votes and positions. The guy is a walking talking example of a Mitch McConnell republican and runoff electorates almost always are more partisan activists walk over broken glass than the more normie primary voters. From past research, figure about 20-30 percent dropoff in turnout, maybe as high as 50 percent. Turnout drops the longer the runoff is from the primary and Texas has a long almost two month period from primary to runoff. May 26th is the date.

I think Paxton wins narrowly depending on how he campaigns in the next 7 weeks or so.

367 I like Brandon Herrerra, he's on the Unsub Podcast with like Fat Electrician and Donut Operator. Hilarious stuff. He also designed an AK-47 that shoots .50 cal BMG.

So, hope he gets in. He got like 43% to the incumbent's 40% and last time he lost by only a few hundred votes. that was before Gonzales' mistress set herself on fire. Literally.

I saw the Unsub Podcast show up here in Boston back in December. The show was hilarious, and the theater was packed. In MA. Great time. And, holy carp, was the crowd drunk.

368 You can spout that mumbo jumbo until the Cow Demons come home. Texas is f*cked. The Republicans in this state have allowed it to become an economic zone that caters to Indians and Muslims. Even if it remains red for the foreseeable future, it's demonstrably a worse place to live than it was 20 years ago.

And the only thing you will do about that is bawl, pout and whine,

I have no time for defeatists and your arrogance that you in fact know the outcome when you in fact do not. Get in the fight or go the fuck away and cry in the corner.

371 But you neglect Cornyn's baggage which is his past votes and positions. The guy is a walking talking example of a Mitch McConnell republican and runoff electorates almost always are more partisan activists walk over broken glass than the more normie primary voters. From past research, figure about 20-30 percent dropoff in turnout, maybe as high as 50 percent. Turnout drops the longer the runoff is from the primary and Texas has a long almost two month period from primary to runoff. May 26th is the date.

I think Paxton wins narrowly depending on how he campaigns in the next 7 weeks or so.

Cornyn spent $100 million to get in a primary after being Senator for 24 years. Paxton has barely touched his campaign stash.

387 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

394 236 Ken Paxton's marital issues make him a cad with poor decision-making skills and zero impulse control.

He's also a notorious unlikeable asshole, and I have a feeling that his leaning into the MAGA side of the GOP is an act, but I can't prove that.

Our state GOP is just so fucking terrible for a state that's supposed to be as Republican as we are.
