How Is This Even a Question? Texas Establishment RINOs Debate Whether They Will Support Ken Paxton Over James "Jesus Has Six Gender" Talarico
"Lousy loser" John Cornyn refuses to campaign with Ken Paxton.
He's a real conservative you guys, he really wants to beat the Democrats.Byron York: What is the GOPe doing?
Sen. John Cornyn slammed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as a "lazy" and "poor campaigner" Friday as he explained why he won't help the Republican Senate nominee in his race against Democrat James Talarico. Cornyn, who lost to Paxton in the bitter Texas GOP Senate primary runoff election earlier this summer, explained in an interview with the Texas Tribune that while he wants to see Republicans hold their majority in the upper chamber after the midterms, he isn't going to fundraise for Paxton because he hasn't made a compelling case to Lone Star State voters.
"Paxton's a poor campaigner," Cornyn told the outlet. "He's lazy and doesn't raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election. "He's making this harder than it needs to be." ... "This is unfortunately shaping up to be a close and I hope not disastrous election," Cornyn said. "But it ain't looking good right now."
Oh, he's repeating the lines from the GOPe op. What a surprise from this brain surgeon.
AS TALARICO GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE, GOP DEBATES SUPPORT FOR PAXTON. There's been a lot of commentary lately about the faults of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for Senate. There are many such faults, and the impeached and scandal-ridden Paxton is widely recognized among GOP strategists as a poor candidate. But take a moment to remember the utter terribleness of Paxton's opponent, Democratic nominee James Talarico. You've heard his greatest hits. His belief that there are six genders. That God is nonbinary. His "non-meat" campaign. His claim to be "a Christian who hates Christianity." And more. Now, there's something else to consider. It comes from September 2020, when Talarico was running for the Texas legislature and took part in a Zoom forum run by the Sierra Club. He was asked what he would do to "fight for climate justice" for "communities of color" that "receive the most harm from the impacts of climate change." "I'm so thankful that you asked this question, and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country," Talarico answered. "And I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them." ... Meanwhile, some Republican and conservative commentators have spent a good bit of time dumping on Paxton. National Review published a piece headlined, "Everyone is Edging Away from Ken Paxton," which said a "horrid smell" was "filling the room" in Texas -- the "stench of potential electoral doom" brought about by the Paxton campaign. Conservative radio host Erick Erickson is on an anti-Paxton crusade, writing, "The only thing for which Paxton has ever shown prodigious energy is philandery and possibly corruption. He is a lazy candidate in a heated race, and laziness is not a flaw you can fundraise your way around."
... [Conservative radio host Steve] Deace argued that "uniparty" Republicans are the ones bashing Paxton right now, and they would be perfectly happy for him to lose and Talarico to win. (Deace called Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), defeated by Paxton in the GOP primary, a "uniparty stooge.") If true conservatives don't vote for Paxton, Deace said, they would give the "uniparty" Republicans "exactly what they want" while at the same time would "permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation." The bottom line, Deace argued, is that true conservatives should vote for Paxton to stop Democratic awfulness.No. There are more important issues, like Erick Erickson's capacity for grifting.
That was the message Cruz sent in his Tuesday appearance with Fox News's Laura Ingraham. "Some of the Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is: Enough! Stop your b****ing," Cruz said. Citing previous years in which centrist Republicans urged conservative voters to support centrist nominees, Cruz continued, "My answer to everyone whining: Shut up and support the nominee, and don't hand Texas over to a communist lunatic."
Byron YorkI'm sure his communist staff will tell you, if you ask for comment, that this "cringey language" "misses the mark" and that he believes in capitalism and Jesus. So I wouldn't bother asking his communist staff.
@ByronYork
This was written the day of the Dobbs decision. One can understand opposing Dobbs. One can understand wanting to overturn it. But advocating for what would, in effect, be a Federal Abortion Service, staffed by a Federal Abortion Corps, seems...out there. But classic Talarico.
Chris Loesch 𝕏Here's Steve Deace's take:
@ChrisLoesch
The NRSC and GOP telling Texas voters that they are stupid for choosing Paxton over Cornyn (we like our gun rights - go figure) and withholding any funding they would have normally put into the race is the establishment trying to rule over the plebes. Cornyn wasn't a "safe choice" for our rights. So if the rest of the nation wants to turn Texas blue then good luck ever getting another republican majority or president. Nice Texas is gone, so is the nation. Thanks coastal elites!
Fat shabby one-pair-o'-pants grifter Jonah Goldberg, who swiped the research for "his" book Liberal Fascism from writers at the Claremont Institute, accuses Steve Deace of being paid to say this.
Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow Here's some tough love. But it's why I make the better than average bucks. Ken Paxton is one of the finest public servants in this country. His work as Texas AG would rank among the most impactful of any statewide elected official in this nation (DeSantis is in his own GOAT tier). He would be a tremendous upgrade at Senator not just for Texas, but the country. But he's also made a mess of his personal life, and the residual impact of that is costing him some support (including financially). So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation. However, given how little we know much of Washington DC's uniparty cares about marriage, family, and sexual ethics that alone doesn't come close to explain him (and thus the country) being hung out to dry in this crucial Texas Senate race. There's no moral high ground within the uniparty. Only vested interests. And uniparty Republicans would much prefer to be in the minority. Because in that case they can raise all kinds of money to ensure their positions off how bad the Democrats are, with no expectations to do anything about it. Thus, you will not be punishing these Republicans by staying home but just yourself. You will be giving them exactly what they want, prestige with no responsibility, while you will permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation. Nothing new is coming. There is no alternative to the GOP possible within any time frame what's left of our way of life would survive. You won't teach anyone any lessons. Most of these Republicans would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the party to you, anyway. And yes, this is a poopy position to be in. But it's the position we are in generationally, and our job is to do the best we can with the times that we have. The best we can do is slow down as much of this Democrat madness as possible, while also keeping Republicans in power to expose themselves in the hopes that creates more primaries where a Paxton can beat an exposed uniparty stooge like Cornyn. Again, not a great spot. But it is the spot. Short of revival, it's all we have left. And it's still by far the best country in the world. So suck it up and occupy until He comes. This is the best we can do.
Jonah GoldbergWho's signing your checks, Jonah? I know it's not Republicans. Is it Pierre Omidyar?
@JonahDispatch This is the kind of opinion that makes me assume someone is being compensated to offer it. Not saying that's the case. But I find it difficult to understand how a person could come by it honestly.

Well, and being elected Attorney General three times. And heading numerous lawsuits against the feds. But, other than doing his fucking job - something Cornyn couldn't accomplish, Paxton is just not the sort of people we'd invite to brunch in the Hamptons.

It's interesting to note the contrast between Texas and Michigan. In the 2022 cycle, the GOPe tried to purge Trumpism and it backfired in a bad way, and aided by Dem chicanery we got a staggeringly weak ticket that gave the Dems total control and they ran wild.
As a result of that experience, the Michigan GOP pulled itself together and the Establishment folks came to accept Trump as the way things are now. Mike Rogers is a bland centrist, but he knows what time it is.
Texas has not yet reached the point, and I'm sure the calculation is that blowing a Senate seat won't hurt Texas too badly.

"Paxton's a poor campaigner," Cornyn told the outlet. "He's lazy and doesn't raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election.
"He's making this harder than it needs to be."

The NRSC and GOP telling Texas voters that they are stupid for choosing Paxton over Cornyn (we like our gun rights - go figure) and withholding any funding they would have normally put into the race is the establishment trying to rule over the plebes.
How much did the NRSC pump into the primaries? And yet they wouldn't pass SAVE, even though that would have let them keep Cornyn - despite him being a worthless piece of shit... as further evidenced by his behavior since the primary.

Counterpoint: I saw polling today that Republicans say they are more likely to vote than Democrats, and candidates like Talerico and El-Sayed are driving this.
There is also the fact that a more conservative Senate free of Cornyn and Tillis WILL pass the SAVE Act. Same with the House. Massie will be gone, and a conservative will take his seat, so what we will have is a WORKING majority that can get stuff done.

To put it another way, keeping the SAVE Act on the table, and making the election a referendum on it is a great way to drive Republicans and Independents to the polls in presidential-election year numbers. Maybe not what Thune intended, but that's where things are.
(I think it is what Thune intended and this is all for show. After the election he can ram it through the Senate and save his bacon from a primary.)

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office asserts it has filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Biden administration and claims it has "won more than three out of every four" of those suits.
Paxton has continued to trumpet his record against the Biden White House, frequently claiming an 80% win rate, which a Texas Tribune analysis found is overstated. A lawsuit’s lifecycle is complicated, and there are many ways to measure a win. By the most generous metrics, Texas got the outcome it wanted in about two-thirds of the cases it was involved in.

Plus the nrsc is refusing to give him a dime to campaign because he beat their boy cornyn. Trump has promised to give him some cash in the next few weeks from his pac and then the attack ads will start.

As far as "The Life of Brian", I just know when I'm trying to explain the Qumran community as "dissident priests" to my mom or, really, any of that mess from Alexander Jannaeus down to the Revolt, that movie keeps coming up.

There's a danger in making your opponent's face the only face anyone sees....
Unless that face is archetypically punchable.

Erickson and the entire staff of writers at National Review cannot point to one single candidate anywhere that was tipped over the finish line by their endorsement--general or primary.
FFS, Double-E tried to run for city council there in GA* and where's his doughy ass now?
if they can't sway the crowd, why should any men in the arena listen to what these pillow-biting ladyfingers have to say?
*it's why he claimed he "left" RedState, and not because he ran it into the ground

And one ad of a dude tackling a girl to show he supported trannies undid all that.

My guess is that Cornyn is such a poor sport is that -
he expected to jump from being a senator to being a power broker, or lobbyist or loaded up with no work high-paying sinecures.
After all, all those years being a catamite for the Democrats had to be worth something...right?
Welp, put away your lip gloss, Corny.
Your animosity to Trump and your own voters doomed you to post-office irrelevance.
Take your ill-gotten gains and go open a Chik-Fil-A in Riyadh.

I love the way Jonah backtracks his little statement.
I have a funny story about him that I can't say as he'd probably then remember me. I want him to forget me, altho I am pretty unforgettable.
I will say this about him (in the distant past): he had wit and kindness. He also seemed very insecure and to have a great need for attention. He also liked to argue with me and I'd state whatever I felt and ignore him.
For the last Dim womman with nasty dark roots above to say that about Jesus ticks me off to the point I want to hit her. Then watch her head spin around.
From her caved in mouth and teefs it appears someone already socked her in the jabbering maw. Which forced her teeth to grow inward as if her dentures were removed.
I'm in a good mood after the hair salon, in spite of a lot of fubar going on around me. My roots now look grand like the rest of me.
Age is meaningless unless you need a sports medicine surgeon who only operates after age 50yrs. That's when you feel old. We wait to hear from a surgeon who can fix my husband's mild issue of a muscle tearing away vs no surgery and PT.
I am not a patient person by nature and am now finding it or pretending I have it.

This is typical for the GOP, but particularly in the South, where The Machine is fuckin' sancrosant.
An anti-establishment Republican is 10x worse than a Democrat.
They'll resort to any tactic, no matter how despicable to defeat a popular insurgent in a primary (see: Chris McDaniel) and then side with a Democrat against him if he wins (see: Roy Moore), and if he manages to beat the Dem, he'll be lonelier than an iron-masked Dauphin in an oubliette (see: Dave Brat).
Anyone surprised by this turn has had cotton in their ears and a couple of eyepatches on since Haley Barbour was a stripling.

Bottom line. The NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) shelled out over $100 Million in support of Cornyn in the primary. They bet on the wrong horse. So, NOW, the NRSC isn't shelling out any money to Paxton for the Midterm election but claim to be helping him raise money (yeah, I bet).
Tim Scott holds the purse strings, and he was all in for Cornyn.

My take: The Uniparty bought Cornyn long, long ago and counted on him to do as he was told, in exchange for some money under the table each year. As deputy to Thune, he was a key cog in the Uniparty sausage making machine.
So, the Uniparty hates Paxton for two reasons.
1. Petty Revenge. He displaced a loyal bought-and-paid-for cog in the Uniparty sausage-making machine.
2. The main reason. The Uniparty is unsure Paxton will play ball on the Uniparty Team. Maybe they'll eventually be able to buy him. Maybe not. Cabals like the Uniparty intensely dislike and fear uncertainty of achieving the cabal's goals. The Uniparty is totally confident it can buy Talarico, and on the cheap.

Rogers is spending his money defining his opponent. El-Sayed is not will known so he is getting Rogers' version of who he is.
After Labor Day he can talk more about himself, but let's remember that Rogers has been active in Michigan politics since the Engler era. He ran for Senate before. He's pretty well known.

Was talking to a friend today about this. I’ve seen a few anti-Talafreako ads by conservative groups but I haven’t seen one Paxton ad where he’s actually in the ad and speaking. Not on YouTube, regular tv, anywhere. Meanwhile, Freako keeps running his “on the porch with paw paw ads” constantly. I’m starting to get a little nervous. Never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.
Posted by: TxAnn at September 03, 2026 06:37 PM (SjAWL)
Yep.
Despite everything conservatives websites are reporting about Talarico's freakishness he has been pretty focused on real issues. He's not like Beto, a white man pretending to be Hispanic and acting like the second coming of Obama. Strictly in terms of advertising Talarico is on point. And unlike Kamala's embarrassing ad campaign that we all loved to mock, Talarico's show a lot more confidence in their normality (if that makes sense).
Paxton is nowhere.
I'm not saying Talarico will win but I'm saying he has a real shot. Sad face.

(We are a one-party county, meaning the Republican nominee for county offices runs unopposed in November, so if you want to vote in a contested election for those seats you have to do it in the primary.)
So I kicked ass for my candidate during the 2024 GOP primary, and when I asked the local leaders when I could do the same for Paxton in the general, i.e., when could I get door hangers and yard signs for my precinct, I got shrugs. I reached out to the Paxton campaign, and all I got was requests for money.
I'm willing to do the work, but it's like nobody really wants me to.
Paxton is going to win my county no matter what, but if they want to win the state they need the biggest GOTV in the areas where the most Republicans live.
In 2018, Cruz got 52% turnout from my county. This year we have about 95k registered voters and about 81% of them supported Trump in '24.
GOTV happens when volunteers walk the streets. Ad buys don't cut it. Somebody in the Paxton campaign should pay attention.
If you don't want to win BIG, you don't really want to win.

The main reason. The Uniparty is unsure Paxton will play ball on the Uniparty Team. Maybe they'll eventually be able to buy him. Maybe not. Cabals like the Uniparty intensely dislike and fear uncertainty of achieving the cabal's goals. The Uniparty is totally confident it can buy Talarico, and on the cheap.

I think they are reasonably sure he won't, or they'd not have opposed him so much. This latest kerfluffle is an example. Paxton would be much better served by finding a place as a loyal majorityite that join the rump.

My kingdom for an edit on this lovely blog.
I don't complain here, at least, of ads. I figured out the ad part when I tried to read here on my phone last week.
I rarely complain til I see that I misspelled something or wrote the opposite word, and then feel briefly annoyed for a nanosecond at myself.
Life goes on. Let's say I won't be sorry to see 2026 in my rear view mirror as May into June were worse and I somehow lived. I also know I have very little to complain about and life is very good.
I would make a potato voodoo doll of that Kansas Dim woman but I am too tired and only have sweet potatoes. It's not the same.

He will not survive the Dem primary. I've seen the polling. His dem approval rating is in the 20s.
Republicans, on the other hand, highly approve him, as do Independents. He could just declare himself Independent and caucus with the GOP, but he has to do something or he is doomed.

That's a pretty fascinating utterance. Something's only a crime because you made it illegal.
It's almost like the poor old derelict is trying to obey the forms of Critical Everything Theory (fine, it's my hobby horse of the day, get over it). But he can't really do it right. He's trying to say something bombastic and nonsensical, but it just... falls flat. It takes a kind of flair and commitment to really craft an Absurdity with legs, and this old dandy just hasn't got it.

As a Texas resident, I will crawl over glass to vote for Paxton. The GOPe hates him but alot of the Republican Texas legislators who voted for his impeachment were also the ones that voted against school choice and Abbott sent them packing in the last 2 election cycles. He did an outstanding job as Texas AG. The issue is Talarico is running ads nonstop on youtube trying to make himself out as a normy and uninformed people (most voters) are falling for it. Paxton needs to start getting out ads on youtube, tiktok, and all other social media along with TV ads and such. Texas has a very low turnout for non presidential elections and the Texas GOP (along with the rest of the GOP) still hasn't figured out that turnout is all that matters.

Not to go Wesley Crusher here, and maybe I'm missing something, but the Cato Institute guy said if you make legal immigration impossible, not if you make illegal immigration illegal.
It's still a strawman argument (most people still accept some legal immigration) but not the same thing. Either way Cato guy is asshoe.

187 He made a really great Deadpool, but it turns out that there's some pretty good evidence that Reynolds is a swollen, smegma stinking prick of a human being.
Yeah I have heard rumors and the way people act around him. He's a horrendous jerk, and so is his wife, apparently. That he's a retard is not surprising, he's an actor.

*********
I always thought he was a putz. Cannot stand his wife who gets her roles through him (I realize this is not important but I also hate her facial mole). I hope they are both done.
He, so I recently read, bragged on tv, thinking it super funny, that he burned down most of his elementary school as a kid...and not by accident.
That's his humor. Dud. He probably pulls legs off of insects in his spare time when not roasting toads for pleasure.
His squinty, too close together beady eyes are evolving into Canadian Cyclops.

Sorry, I meant to say ridiculously gigantic adipose cunt, whose muffled complaints you can discern from beneath the stifling weight of its gunt of irrelevance, if you just listen harder than anyone's been willing to for a decade now..

It does always amuse me, if a right of center candidate has an affair that is supposed to be game over but if a left of center candidate rapes a woman, molests a child, or goes to gay sex clubs while married to a supposed woman that's like ok man. Who are you to judge?
-----
Well, its a little easier to understand when we realize that the left makes zero stands about morality and normalcy. So when they go to sex clubs, have multiple lovers, get caught with a member of the "wrong" sex, none of it violates any of the things they pretend to stand for. But when one of *ours* does something like that, they asked for it--they're likely on record saying the very thing they were caught doing was wrong.

Not quite - the left, in theory, is opposed to Bill Clinton raping Broaddrick or Biden molesting his daughter. Obama being under a pile of random guys at Man's Country, well, I guess yes they are ok with that

Digging thru my old scrapbooks I found an article containing a brief bio of my Italian grandpa published in the Detroit News on Dec 8 1986. It starts:
"I came from Switzerland to Detroit on July 7 1926 with my father and two brothers. It was mandatory we all find a job and not rely on the government so I stayed on Ellis Island for three days until I found a friend to sign for me. My first job was in Detroit as a dishwasher at the Statler Hotel... I worked six days a week for $2 a day...."
A "nation of immigrants" yep. Immigrants who were not only required to immediately find work but HAVE A CITIZEN RESIDENT SIGN THAT THEIMMIGRANT HAD IMMEDIATE WORK.
Where are the true econservative pundits and pols to belt this with actual citations to law to shut down establishment RINOs and shitlibs?

Leftists who committed moral offenses, whom the DNC and Uniparty want to resurrect, can do an apology tour on the network morning and late-night shows and are back in business.
Conservatives who attempt such a resurrection are only successful if the Uniparty wants to regain their public services. If not, a morally-failed Republican's apology tour becomes a nightmare. The infotainment show hosts will only ask questions about why he did what he did and why anyone should believe he won't do it again. And introduce new accusations. No questions about how and why he learned from his failings and has become a better person.

NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....
Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.
A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.
Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.
Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.
Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.
Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

I'd like to got back to the original term for illegal aliens.
Invaders.
And I'd also like to go back to treating them as such
Posted by: 18-1 at September 03, 2026 07:17 PM (sKqQm)
It's a technical term and already means what they are. Aliens are non citizens. Illegal ones are criminals.

Now that you mention it it'd be pretty funny if someone went up to him and asked him about the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Just to see the NPC programming short circuit as it failed searching for keywords before spitting out an incomprehensible word salad.

Actually it is so cool to learn the history of how people survived in those days.
If anyone does not know the history of Fort Bridger it is worth reading about.

Ace, my love, have a wonderful 4dy weekend. Rest your weary arm and shoulder, refresh and come back a happy warrior.
I honestly don't know what I'd do without this place. Probably be in jail.
I hope to have wine and gin again in a week after the blasted college nursing school reunion. I don't like not drinking and thinking of calories. I cheated the other day after my husband's "incidental finding" on his MRI. I had 4 cookies. Bloody hell.
I should just waddle into the dinner and not care yet I care to dazzle the nurses who let themselves go. And I am sure there will be some and they all vote Democrat.
I still got it.

Sour grapes loser talk. You lost to someone who you label a lazy campaigner. He's too stupid to figure out how this says more about him.
That's our GOPe.

I'm gonna write my debut magnum oops (fucking hell that was supposed to be opus but no way i don't share that one) on this topic of current year ontoclasm that i occasionally bang on about. Critical Everything Theory. The perverse compulsion to subvert everything up to smashing reality itself, regardless of context or utility.
I will be sure to devote a paragraph or two to all the bloated hot dog sandwich connoisseurs and their tiddies-down, ass-up flume down the proverbial tubes of relevance.

So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation.
-----------------
Why wasn't this standard applied to JFK or Clinton or any Democrat? It seems only Republicans must be subjected to this stricture.
When they tried the same thing with Trump in 2016 I commented that I don't want to marry him, I want him to go after our enemies which none of the other candidates in either side even mentioned.
