Moderate Centrist Normal Completely Heterosexual Candidate James Talarico Backs Knife-Murderer Karmelo Anthony: "The System Is Not Working for Black Texans"
He just gets more centrist and normal and Christian every single day.
By the way, the media is reporting the judge was removed from sentencing because he was "biased." They don't tell you what that means. They want you to infer that he is racially biased. Nope. The "bias" consisted of him saying, post-conviction, "the jury got it right." I don't even understand how this is "bias." A judge can form impressions from a case, just like a jury. In fact, if a judge believes the jury got it very wrong -- so wrong their judgment cannot be said to be based on the evidence -- he is allowed (required, actually) to set aside the jury's judgment and enter his own judgment. So how can it be "bias" to merely agree with a jury whose judgment is based 100% on the obvious facts? Two-tiered justice -- it's actually an American innovation. It began with Derek Chauvin. Actually it began long before that. That's when it became just accepted leftwing cult doctrine that white people are subject to a different law than "oppressed" minorities.
Talarico Backs Karmelo Anthony in Divisive Murder Case: Says Black Teen's Conviction for Stabbing White Football Star Shows 'System Is Not Working for Black Texans'
On Wednesday, Anthony scored a major victory getting the original judge removed from the case
Chuck Ross
August 19, 2026
James Talarico has waded into the racially charged case of the murder of teenage football standout Austin Metcalf, with the Texas Democratic Senate nominee throwing his support behind Metcalf's convicted killer, Karmelo Anthony, now 19. Anthony's attorneys are back in a Texas courtroom on Thursday, seeking a new trial, and on Wednesday succeeded--in a significant win--in having the judge from the original trial removed. Talarico, in an interview on a black radio show earlier this month, said the conviction of Anthony, a black teenager who fatally stabbed Metcalf, who was white, at a high school track meet in Frisco, is proof that the criminal justice system "is not working for black Texans." "Right now we've got a system that doesn't serve all Americans equally, and, and we know that black Texans have been, um, have not gotten the justice they deserve," said Talarico, a member of the Texas House of Representatives. Talarico offered that controversial take during an August 5 interview on The Breakfast Club, a popular New York City talk radio show that has been a proving ground of sorts for white Democrats who seek to woo black voters. In 2016, Hillary Clinton proclaimed on the show that she carries around hot sauce in her purse, a claim that host Charlamagne tha God said sounded like she was "pandering to black voters." In 2020, Joe Biden said on the show that "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." In his interview, Talarico was asked to respond to a viral clip from last month that showed him emphatically nodding along as a woman at a town hall called the Anthony conviction a "tragedy." ... Talarico appeared on The Breakfast Club as he struggles to woo black voters following a bitter primary fight against Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a black Democrat from Dallas (and a regular on The Breakfast Club). Crockett, who has likewise defended Anthony, accused Talarico of running "a racist race" in the primary. Talarico came under fire for allegedly referring to former Senate candidate Colin Allred as a "mediocre black man." Talarico has embraced other hot-button policies in an appeal to black voters. He denounced the SAVE Act, which would strengthen ID requirements to vote, as an attempt to "rob" black voters. He recently endorsed the idea of reparations for slavery, stating that "repairing past harms is part of my faith tradition."
One thing to ponder... Karmelo got $600K for murdering some random white guy but Lindsay Clancy got $900k for murdering her own kids. So perhaps Karmelo does have an argument for the unfairness of all this right? Posted by: 18-1

The reason the judge was removed was because he -- incredibly stupidly -- gave media interviews saying the verdict was correct while the case is still pending before him.
There are post-trial motions pending before him, all of which are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong." So of course the murderer's defense team seized on this "bias" that the judge already pre-judged the motions.
This was a big unforced error and gift to the defense. Do I think it will change anything? No, I don't. This was an open and shut case that never shoulda gone to trial.

Yep. Jasmine Crockett has been vocal about saying black voters who got shit on by their own party need to stay home in November; Talarico knows that if that happens, he doesn't even get out of the 30's in the general election.
So he is doing his best Mr. Bojangles impression every day now. Of course this is kind of a problem with his other message that he's a Ordinary Truck Driving Meat Eating Texas Guy who is Just Like All of You.
And who wants to set any Black Yutes who stab white kids to death free just because.

That the creepy little homunculus is so desperately pandering to black texans using the most vile tribalism is very good news for us.

In hand to hand fighting, there's a rule that you never punch at. You punch through.
Ken Paxton needs to follow this rule. He should not be aiming to get people to vote for him over Target Talerico. He should be aiming to have millions of Texans HATE Talerico and wish harm on him.
This would have the added benefit of creating a very angry set of voters who can be depended on to use violence when necessary, such as when Democrats, being the effeminate, draft dodging cowards they are, attack women and children.

Talarico has gone onto the floor of the State Capitol and announce that trans kids are the best kids, Jesus was non-binary and he hates Christianity.
Now he's openly fellating the black community in an effort to get them back on the Democrat plantation.

Now he's openly fellating the black community in an effort to get them back on the Democrat plantation.
He is a true piece of shit.

The media will describe Talarico’s views as "progressive" just as they are doing for DSA candidates, e.g., Nixon. I wonder if they are desperately trying to prevent a party schism splitting the far left vote and electing a supermajority of center-left Rs as a result.

IIRC, there were no blacks on the jury because all the black candidates expressed anti-white racism.

Not quite. They said that they couldn't be unbiased. It is suspected by some, me included, that at least some of them said that because they didn't want to deal with the shitstorm which would have engulfed them if they had convicted.

The dirty secret is that Hispanics often loathe blacks so you risk pissing off the Hispanics by supporting criminality in the person of Karmelo.
I think as said above, Talarico is doing this in desperation rather than strength because he is lagging in black urban support that he needs. They won't vote for Paxton but may not show up at all for the polls. In the end, building coalitions based on identity becomes handicapped by each identity group wanting someone that looks like them on the ballot.
AWFLs want white women, Hispanic racialists want a Hispanic of whatever country origin is a majority in that state, black racialists want a black on the ticket, and political gays want a deviant--with the new twist of trans queerism.

Why were there no black members of the jury, Jimmy? There was blacks among the selection pool. Why didn't any of them get picked? You'd think that would be a priority for the defense.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 20, 2026 12:20 PM (ExV1e)
We've talked about this often. First, to say it was an "all white" jury only works if you say those of hispanic and asian ancestry are "white".
Second, every black jury pool member, when questioned, said for the record that they thought they'd be biased and could not make an impartial judgment. Automatic disqualification.
I and others have opined that this was almost certainly deliberate, an easy way to get off the jury if you knew your community was going to be furious if you returned a guilty verdict. None of them wanted to have anything to do with it.

Last time I was called to jury duty the judge asked everyone who couldn't sit on a jury to raise their hand and come tell him why.
I was close enough to hear the answers.
One guy was related to a defendant. Another guy was related to a cop on the case, so he let those two go.
The rest were things like "I don't like cops".
So the judge sat those people on the jury and sent the rest of us home. I had to chuckle as I left...

When I read something about the recusal thing somewhere, it said the judge had been removed from the appeal. But that doesn't make sense either, as the judge's rulings are presumably what's being appealed. What would his involvement even be at a higher level court?

26 The reason the judge was removed was because he -- incredibly stupidly -- gave media interviews saying the verdict was correct while the case is still pending before him.
There are post-trial motions pending before him, all of which are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong." So of course the murderer's defense team seized on this "bias" that the judge already pre-judged the motions.
This was a big unforced error and gift to the defense. Do I think it will change anything? No, I don't. This was an open and shut case that never shoulda gone to trial.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 20
Its too bad the judge, who was good, gave any interview regardless of brief and innocuous it was. The other defense arguments of 'bias' were that the judge didnt have an overflow room set up to watch the trial and thag he enforced strict procedural rules- which just shows how desperate the defense is.

"There were no black members of the jury...the system is not working for black Texans."
----
The jury system will go away, probably sooner rather than later. One, it's cumbersome, slow and expensive.
And it can never, ever work in the hyper-tribalized mob-rule society they've created.
This clown is just trying to accelerate the process, whether he's intelligent enough to realize that.
Whatever follows won't be any better.

I wonder what she had to say about Graham Platner. Be that as it may, I looked up Herrera's "outrageous" remarks and he basically made the kind of insensitive jokes online that a lot of us make here. In Poor Taste? Probably, but I don't see that carrying much weight in West Texas. And he like shooting guns a lot, which of course is what they really hate about him.

"So how can it be "bias" to merely agree with a jury whose judgment is based 100% on the obvious facts?"
It's more subtle that that. The case is still pending. There are or will be post-trial motions that this judge would have had to decide. The gist of most of the motions are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong."
That's where the potential "bias" comes in: the judge, in publicly saying the jury got it right, is arguably pre-judging the outcome of the post-trial motions.
I think the court was correct to nip this in the bud and replace the judge. Better to get a new judge who hasn't (foolishly) shot his mouth off about the case and opened the door to bias charges.
I don't think a new judge will change anything. They got this murderer dead to rights.

I don't even understand how this is "bias." A judge can form impressions from a case, just like a jury. In fact, if a judge believes the jury got it very wrong -- so wrong their judgment cannot be said to be based on the evidence -- he is allowed (required, actually) to set aside the jury's judgment and enter his own judgment.

No. His problem is that he is being forced to make ever more comical pleas to the various groups of the Dem coalition which, in turn, turns off the others. The only argument which has ever united the Dems is "I'll fuck over straight, white, Christian, men and give you the money." But he can't promise THAT because it's a loser in Texas so he's playing whack-a-mole and hoping that media will hide what he says to group A from group B.

I believe this is a Request for a new Trial, which in Texas can happen at the lower court level before it moves on to a higher Court of Appeals. Very rare for this kind of motion to ever be granted, but it's a way for lawyers to convince paying clients that they've tried everything.
If this fails, then they'll immediately appeal to a higher court. The burden at every level is that they have to find an actual Error of Law in order to overturn a Jury's verdict.

The ugly facts are that absent an immediate external enemy that requires everyone to support a particular government for common defense to survive, that people can and will vote for people like themselves. Belgium is split by language, so is Canada, Catholic/Protestant mattered in Germany, Ethnicity in Italy, N. and S. Italy.
And there will always be politicians that seek to build power on a base of stirring up religious, ethnic, race, or even disparities in wealth. Humans are tribal animals-some can overcome the programming to some extent but the happiest countries are usually homogeneous in likes, tastes, culture, and desires or they have no political competition because they have their own despot ruling them.

I seem to remember that one judge on the General Flynn court case, during the judgment phase, read out an awful speech against Flynn. Basically stating he was evil and a traitor, though I can't find a transcript on a short search.
Funny how egregiously wrong the prosecution was (a travesty of justice at that), but the judge probably never said anything publicly about how bad that was.

I believe this is a Request for a new Trial, which in Texas can happen at the lower court level before it moves on to a higher Court of Appeals. Very rare for this kind of motion to ever be granted, but it's a way for lawyers to convince paying clients that they've tried everything.
---
Almost never granted.
Because why would a judge ever admit they did anything wrong?
But, it extends plenary power and appeal deadlines, instead of 30 days to appeal, IIRC, they get 30 days from the date the new trial is denied.

heh - Error's of Law have a well defined meaning, which is that you must be able to point to an actual piece of black letter Law and say "here is how that law was violated during the conduct of the trial." Doesn't happen often, unless someone like Donald Trump or Derek Chauvin is the defendant.

What do we do now? They seem to be unable too send an actual adjuster to the house and only ask for photos which they seem think do not show what they want.

I seem to remember that one judge on the General Flynn court case, during the judgment phase, read out an awful speech against Flynn. Basically stating he was evil and a traitor, though I can't find a transcript on a short search.
Funny how egregiously wrong the prosecution was (a travesty of justice at that), but the judge probably never said anything publicly about how bad that was.

All of the J6 judges were free to rail and rant against the defendants--from the bench!
The kind of vitriol you'd expect for child porn or mass murderers--which they would never, ever do.
But J6, walking through the Capital?
No limit.
And no hint of bias, as far as the left and media care.

James Madison, a political realist, argues in Fed 10 that the best form of government, contrary to prior philosophers who argued for homogeneous countries for the most stability, that Americans by dividing themselves into self governing states and a strong limited national government for dealing with other nations as an equal on trade, defense, and ensuring a common market among the states (where they cannot commit bad acts against their sister states) would allow the benefits of a large powerful central government to deal with external relations but each state and even community being able to run themselves as they liked as long as they did not run afoul of state or federal governments. States were left with their traditional ability to govern for the health, safety, and welfare of its residents which applied that to localities. Localities in turn could craft their own rules as long as it did not violate state or federal laws.
But the problem is inevitably that losers at the local level escalate to the state or federal government and seek imposition of their losing side in a political matter by calling on a state or federal response to counteract the winners.

KARMELO ANTHONY BOMBSHELL:
Karmelo Anthony's girlfriend, Valeria, went to the school the morning of the Austin Metcalf stabbing, April 2, 2025, and told school officials she had broken up with Anthony and he was stalking her. One hour later, Austin was dead at the track meet, according to Collin County prosecutor Bill Wirskye who revealed at Karmelo Anthony's hearing for a new trial today.
"I'm low key on the verge," Anthony said in text the morning of the stabbing.
Wirskye says Anthony had a history of violence and wanted to stab someone.
"There is a text message where he fantasizes about stabbing someone and licking the blood off the blade," Wirkskye said of Anthony.
He was obsessed with starting fights, Wirskye added, sharing that Anthony had previously been taken to a special program at LSU for kids who can't keep their hands to themselves when he lived in Louisiana prior to moving to Texas

To continue, soon, you also had national or statewide movements seeking to compel localities to toe the line and this expanded beyond the health, safety, and welfare ideals of limited government.
To correct Madison's theory, in the 30's to 60's, the idea of pluralism took hold--that is the state should be the neutral ref of political contests between interest groups (including groups of people) in tug of wars to determine how people could and should live. The older philosophy of negative rights became a newer one where the fed and state government and some localities then granted positive rights at the behest of this or that group.
And the idea was that the state (local, federal, or state) would cheerfully be neutral and objective to let the policy be hashed out in political action by different groups. And that is turn was found to be bullshit--governments are filled not with technocrats but people with their own biases and instead of a neutral ref, you had technocrats in government supporting their chosen interest groups in these contests. The refs were stacking the political game results. Add in the courts, and you get the extreme technocrat ideals.

HELP you guys! Our insurance (State Farm) has after 22 years cancelled our insurance due to what they say is not having proper gutters (gutters were on the house since we bought it and have annual cleanings with proof) and not having trees away from the house (we just had $7200 worth of tree work done because of what they said).
What do we do now? They seem to be unable too send an actual adjuster to the house and only ask for photos which they seem think do not show what they want.

No, he doesn't. He was 17 when he committed the crime which, per SCOTUS ruling, makes him ineligible for execution regardless of any other circumstance. Further, Texas uses lethal injection.
His lawyers want a new trial so that they can push to get a black person on the jury who will refuse to convict. That's, literally, the only play available to them.

Where a federal judge can determine that because some useless wanker dislikes the new White House plans aesthetics, the judge is then empowered to block construction despite the copious precedents of standing that would have the wanker with no such right.
So we slide into technoanarchy by judges, mostly Democrats, occasionally GOP, where judges, bureaucrats can impose their own stupid policies on behalf of the prejudices of their own political interests.
And Congress, being bought by nasty political interests, the death of the decentralized federal system of government (foreseen in some degree by Madison in Fed. 46), and the lure of political losers seeking to win in other arenas that can impose their diktats on localities, states, or even the entire country, has not only allowed it, but encouraged the rule of the unelected in politically destructive acts.
Society is going to face a Rubicon soon when the push comes to shove--we cannot allow fraudulent elections in rotten boroughs, we cannot allow unelected and unaccountable hacks in black or their bureaucratic allies from imposing general laws, and we cannot allow foreign countries to dictate our nation's policies.

Tito was a genuine badass, the only political leader to successfully resist both Hitler and Stalin.
After he broke with Stalin, Uncle Joe sent assassins to Yugoslavia to take him out. None of these attempts were successful. Tito sent Stalin a message to the effect, "Stop sending these assassins after me, or I will send assassins after you. And my assassins won't miss."
He was a commie, but he had massive balls of iron fit to Tsar-Pushka.

In Texas, the insanity defense is governed by Texas Penal Code Section 8.01, which establishes it as an affirmative defense based on the M’Naghten Rule. This legal standard requires the defendant to prove that, at the time of the offense, they suffered from a severe mental disease or defect that prevented them from knowing their conduct was wrong (interpreted legally as illegal).
Exclusions: The definition of mental disease or defect explicitly excludes abnormalities manifested solely through repeated criminal or antisocial behavior (e.g., psychopathy or sociopathy alone).

249 I doubt there is a Republican on earth I would campaign for. They're sleeping with the enemy.
I actually sent $ to Herrera, both before and after the primary. The last time I did that was for a woman (I forget the name now) whose primary opponent was a swampy RINO and a public drunk to boot. As soon as she got into office, she turned into a RINO herself. I'm not so worried about that with Brandon.

The ones that color in bold are less likely to defect to the enemy because they know that they will lose their support at the next election. Traitors are always treated more harshly than the lesser of evils candidate where you hold your nose because the other option is unspeakable.
The bold ones though often have an Achilles heel, women (see Paxton and his divorce), substance abuse (Joe McCarthy and drinking), or money (many GOP and Dem pols).

I'd give plenty to see Talarico riding on a tank wearing a goofy helmet.

171 I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the shooting range when Talarico goes there for a photo op. Hopefully he'd only wound or kill members of the national media

Wasn't it only two years ago that a Democrat (a check shows it was Adam Kinzinger and Lucas Kunce that were involved) indirectly shot a journalist from a ricochet? AND there was some tannerite right in front of them that could have resulted in instant F.U.N.?

Explaining this case to a normie:
"So there was a stabbing at a track meet..."
"At a track meet?!?!? With a javelin?"
"No, with a knife."
Why was there a knife at a track meet?""
"The stabber brought it."
"Why? Had there been a past altercation with the victim?"
"No. They'd never met."
""So the victim must have been pursuing the stabber?"
"No. The victim was with his team and the stabber came into their area and delivered a fatal wound, which requires a whole lot of effort and intent when you're using a knife."
"I hope they put this stabber away for life."
Explaining it to a liberal:
"So there was a stabbing..."
"Was one of the people black?"
"Yes."
"Damn you whitey! Killing an innocent black child!"
"No, the black kid was the stabber and..."
"FREE MUMIA! Or whatever his name is."

238 I'm going to show up and vote. That's it.
Paxton is going to win by 7+ points. He doesn't need my help.

Heh. That’s exactly why Paxton will lose.

You endless doommongers (who know fuck all about Texas) won't be anywhere to be seen when the returns come in.

This is why I had to ensure that a Black Woman was not nominated to the Senate because you people don't understand how to fix things. -- James Talarico
