Gay Weirdo James Talarico: All of Those "Cringey" Things I Said In the Past Few Years Are Either Completely True or Completely Out of Context

Via Twitchy, the Daily Wire reports that this Totally Real Authentic Bible-Believing Christian attends a church whose library contains gay groomer books.


More from the Daily Wire:

The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology.

Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with "banned books" that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.

Books found in the St. Andrew's catalog include the book "Gender Queer," which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book "All Boys Aren't Blue," which discusses anal rape and incest.

"This Book Is Gay," has a chapter on the "ins and outs of gay sex," while the book "Becoming Nicole" tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as girl with the support of his family. In "The Courage to Be Queer," the author claims that "God is queer."

Other books in the church catalog include "This Book is Gay," "Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth," "Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians," "The Courage to Be Queer," and "Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family."

Talarico, looking to flip a Senate seat in a state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2024, has faced criticism over comments he made on transgender ideology. It will likely be a central theme in the campaign against him -- in his first speech as the official Republican nominee on Tuesday night, Republican Ken Paxton referred to Talarico as both "Six-Gender Jimmy" and "James Tala-FREAKO."

Republican congressman Brandon Gill on the same stage went after Talarico over the Daily Wire report earlier this year on the time he said the thing he loved most in the world was "trans children."

St. Andrew's, the church where Talarico delivered his sermon that asserted that "our trans community needs abortion care too," says it offers banned books so that children can find "affirmation in the books they read." It boasts that the books "shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people."

"We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice ... common themes ... particular experiences and identities being censored," the church says of its banned books collection.

Talarico has voted in the state legislature against keeping men out of women's sports and claimed it was "abusive" and "destructive" if parents did not accept their child's alleged gender identity.

He has also stated his belief that "god is nonbinary," and that Jesus was a "radical feminist."

Here are some pages from this Groomer Manual.

Literally every aspect of "Christianity" is, according to this gay pretender, a validation of homosexuality and transgenderism:

Here's the passage of the Bible that this Fabulously False Prophet is lying about:

Tom Fitton
@TomFitton


Leftist @jamestalarico again purposefully misquotes the Holy Bible to push devious falsehood God is transgender (in order to attack those who want to protect children from transgender extremist mutilation and abuse.) The passages he lies about are these:

"For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendant, heirs according to the promise." Galatians, 3:26-29.

From that he gets "Jesus sayeth that we're all non-binary."

He also says that Mary had to "give consent" to not abort Jesus:

Before you say, "Wait a minute, Ace, you claimed that his every single 'religious' interpretation was about homosexuality and transgenderism, but that last quote was about abortion, which does not involve homoexuality or transgenderism," well why don't you stop being wrong for one minute of your entire error-filled life and watch this:

Oh, he also says that atheists are "more Christ-like" than actual Christians.

Oh, and he says that "whiteness" is a "virus" we must immunize ourselves against:

jamestalaricowhiteviru.jpg

Now that the primary is over, Paxton and the GOP are finally running ads against this blasphemous gay weirdo.

Here's another ad talking about Talarico crowing that his was the first campaign to add "pronouns" to their business cards, and thanking Jesus for helping him cure his "my whiteness and my masculinity." Dude, I don't think Jesus had anything to do with curing you of masculinity. I think it was just genetics.

And he was also very proud that his campaign is officially "meat-free" and buys only vegan products from ethical producers:

Longtime readers will no doubt remember the Invasion of the Concerned Christian Conservatives of 2007-2008. As Obama was running for president, and his campaign manager David Axelrod openly promoted using astroturf -- fake grassroots enthusiasm -- to promote his Manchurian Candidate, there were suddenly dozens of never-before-seen commenters (and never again seen, too) who flooded the comments areas with comments that all followed the same three scripts:

Hi everyone. I've been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I'm very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I'm so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama.

He will bring hope to the country and heal our wounds.

Over and over and over and over -- the same canned script being pumped out by David Axelrod's army of Paid Election Interferers.

We used to call this "Mobying" because Moby, the bald gay vegan techno musician no one ever liked, explicitly championed spamming the comments of news sites and blogs with fake messages to trick Christians into voting for the extinction of Western civilization.

We saw a very clumsy effort from the Democrats to convince us that all straight truck-driving beer-drinking Real Men were totally supporting Noted He-Man Tim Walz.

You will not be too terribly surprised to learn that the same Concerned Christian Conservative Seminar Commenters have been reactivated to boost the gay Satanic seminarian Talarico:

I dare anybody to call me UnAmerican, and I'm fully behind Talarico.

Former AOS commenter and now NR cuck Jeff Behar made a good point about Talarico: Every claim he makes about "Christianity" is "instrumental."

What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them.

No, to Talarico, the New Testament only exists to prefigure the Democrat Socialists' 2026 agenda. The Bible and Christ Himself only exist as a pretext for pushing far-left talking points about gays, transgenders, abortion, and veganism.

talaricoinstrumentalist.png

By the way, the exact same critique can be made about Tuq'r Qarlson's "Christianity." He literally never talks about "Christianity" except to advance his Horseshoe Party socialist/antisemtic Nazi propaganda. Again, not a single blessed word about Christ except as a political prop.

Now of course, people's political beliefs can be informed by Christianity. I don't doubt that.

But if your only interest in "Christianity" is to advance your Current Year ephemeral culture war bullshit, and you never talk about the glory of Christ except in the context of promoting transgenderism for children or slamming the Jews, then you're a Fake Christian.

9 By the way, while the USSR and Mao's China aggressively attacked all religion, I think it was the DDR (East Germany) who pioneered the idea of using religion against religious people. The Protestant churches were courted to support every goofy left-wing economic cause that the Commies did, all while their kids were forced into the Young Pioneers or whatever the DDR equivalent was and taught that religion was superstition.

The end result was that even today (when they are voting for AfD against globalists) East Germans are some of the most irreligious people in the world. At least religion in Poland and eastward had some coolness about it because it was against the commies, but religion was fake and gay for younger people in East Germany, so they just gave up on it.

NO. No, He was not. If anything, the Author of the Order of Creation was an anti-feminist. He accepted women in their rightful place as imago Dei, as partner to the men in Creation. And His elevation of women was the same as His elevation of men: to raise them above the curse that come from sin.

He was not a "radical feminist" in any way, shape, or form. Now, shut your piehole, you slimy heretical buggerer of doctrine and truth.

77 I don’t know what cringey comments he’s referring to but I guarantee they’re insignificant in comparison to giving a pedophile a 1 day prison sentence and cheating on your wife.

“In his remarks celebrating his victory Tuesday night, Paxton referred to Talarico by a string of mocking nicknames — “Tofu Talarico,” “Six gender Jimmy,” “James Tala-freako,” and “Low T Talarico” — while denouncing his positions related to gender-affirming care, immigration, energy and religion”

Is this truly all republicans are capable of? Derisive nicknames? And why do they work so well with voters?

No! Admit nothing, deny everything! You don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for going soft on pedophiles. Don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for cheating on his wife. Don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for accepting bribes or committing securities fraud.

Don’t ever apologize!! Come on, James! These MAGA hate mongers are going to have a field day over any signs of backing down or appearing conciliatory!!

Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at May 27, 2026 06:07 PM (l26NL)


Talarico was born James Dell Collins in Round Rock, Texas on May 17, 1989, to Tamara (née Causey) and Steve Collins. Tamara left Steve, an abusive alcoholic, when James was seven weeks old, and a few months later she married Mark Talarico, who adopted James. Talarico, who took Mark's surname, attended Round Rock ISD schools and graduated from McNeil High School in Williamson County, Texas.

=============

I'd say the fact that Talarico adopted him, and that he's used it since at least HS, makes the use of the name reasonable. I will say that a woman - with an infant child - marrying a fella only a few months after divorcing the "abusive alcoholic" father is, perhaps, a bit suss on the surface.

84 What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them.
-
The Left pretty much can't do that with any specificity, because you can't discuss the need for a sacrifice to pay our sin debt without talking about what The Lord considers to be sin.

Which the Left talks about all the time, except that they're promoting it.

Guess I'd better go drop some dough on Paxton's campaign and get a couple of signs for my yard. Thankfully, we have a fence and used to have big dogs - the liberal weenies are too afraid to come all the way up to the porch to steal/destroy stuff.

Most of them hate fences - even the one whose porch kitty met an untimely demise yesterday by the actions of a couple of roaming dogs.

They put up Ring camera videos of all of the miscreants who loitering on their porches and/or steal their Amazon packages, yet never make the connection that putting up a fence will deter that kind of stuff.

They are quick to call our Neighborhood Police Officer, but they hate ICE and want it refunded.

I honestly don't know how they keep their heads from exploding, what with all of the conflicting ideologies they cling to....

He is a funhouse mirror of what Democrats think conservative Texans are; because none of them actually know any conservative Texans.

Watching them howl in despair as their ads fail, the ones about how Talafreako is Christ's own Christian while Paxon is a sinning sinner who sins, is going to be so funny.

143 Hi everyone. I've been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I'm very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I'm so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama.

When you say you're not gay, but as a man only has sex with other men, that means YOU'RE GAY...

It's my understanding that that play is so old by this point, it's just how Democrats run statewide in Texas now. The modern TX party literally doesn't know anything else, and they went all out to prevent an alternative attempt with Crockett.

The only difference is that Talarico is white, like Beto.

It's only the white dudes that get massive donations from out of state. The Hispanic women get no attention.

They're practicing the same thing. Immunity from law, because of faith. The idea that Faith supersedes Law.

152 No. Texas has never been some rock-ribbed Conservative Bastion for generations. Never how it worked.

Get this. California used to be. Because of the defense industry. Until your favorite President, Ronnie, gave it away.
------------------------------
Even that's not quite true about CA. The last time Republicans had durable majorities in the CA legislature was in the 1950s. It was a Republican state in the first half of the 20th Century, but they were Progressive Republicans like Earl Warren [spit].

Reagan was one of three Republican Governors who managed to win two terms in office (and six out of eight terms from 1967 to 1999), but they usually had to deal with Democratic legislatures, and the Brown family were winning governor races for Democrats before, during and after this period as well.

For some reason CA voted Republican in every presidential election from 1968 to 1988, but the state was NOT and never has been "rocked ribbed conservative". A lot of Democrats in Texas 60 years ago were probably more conservative 60 years ago than CA Republicans.

Somebody really, really wants to splinter what remains of the traditional or historical religious backbone in America. At one time it was an unbelievably powerful and formidable force in politics.

Partisans don't change their votes, and America is deeply partisan.

Senate races drive up turnout to match PVI of the state overall, so turnout differentials in midterms disappear.

That means 2026 is far more likely to resemble the 2024 presidential results than the 2018 senate results.

Because Texas presumes a child born during the marriage is a product of the marriage.

296 from I Corinthian 7, not gay Paul.
"8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

I don't see where Paul said if you burn, just stick your dick in a man's ass, or a child's.

300 G-d wouldn’t be full on MAGA, but he’d be kinda MAGA.

Statements like that are wish-casting. There ain't much way to know either way. Even in the Bible. Plenty of statements run both ways.

I suspect - if there is a Supreme Being - he don't care much about our little Nation States and such.

Those that say otherwise remind of those with Fool Proof Betting Systems at the horse track. They don't know. But they believe.

305 The scripture Talarico says means God is non-binary. Galations 3:28.

In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises.

There, plain as day, God is a troon.

Thus... not a target.

I think he's represented his state well since a few years after the crash of 2008. (Nationalize the banks, he said...oh boy...)

He's effectively a backbencher at this point for all the noise he makes now, which is just this side of none. He just hitched himself to Trump once he realized that Trump was the future of the party (which took longer than some, but a lot less than many others), cheered when Trump bombed someone, voted for all the judicial nominees without complaint, and generally just developed a seemingly warm professional relationship with the party's standard bearer.

Mark then "adopted" his biological son, James.

Massie married his current wife about a year and a half after his first wife died. Year and a half to meet her, court her, propose to her, and then plan and hold the wedding. Leaving a couple of weeks or so to mourn.

Politicians aren't big on even minimal mourning periods, are they?

Mix that with his general ability to appeal to people in his state through keeping his presence (he visits VA hospitals regularly, I have a friend who met him that way when she was a secretary at one in Charleston), has the best constituent services operation in maybe the nation (inherited from Strom Thurmond), and does everything he can to keep close to the military community in the state.

He's set.

He's going to win this primary by 60 points, and he should be set for the next one in 2032, too.

Yeah, that isn’t some negation or refutation, the point stands.

Plus, how do you get the “enforcers” to do that?? “You need to kill those people who won’t kill themselves on my orders. Then, kill yourself. Got it?”

“Oh, sure thing, boss!”

Same way you got Cops to do what they did during Covid.

If only we all got to watch Human Nature on display. That would have been incredibly instructive.
