The Mystery of the Talarico Disappearance
There's a lot of speculation going on, which, unlike in the case of the Charlie Kirk murder, is completely justified because we have a legitimate mystery which James Talarico refuses to resolve himself.
I say it's the AIDS Crazies, but other people have their own theories. The big theory is, of course, that James Talarico had a mental health crisis and checked himself in to an Ohio mental health facility. Is there evidence for this? Well, some. A private plane flew from Austin to an airfield close by the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. Which itself is interesting because that mental health facility was used by one of Talarico's friends and close political supporters.Caroline WrenOf course, the big huge evidence is that reporters called the mental health facility in question and a representative there confirmed Talarico had been treated there, but had just been released. Now the hospital is denying this, but the original admission is on audiotape, and one can imagine that if they unwisely disclosed Talarico's presence there they would have to scramble to deny it due to rules about patient confidentiality.
@CarolineWren
What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon? Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico's good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago...
The nation's Democrat Propaganda Outfit of Record says trust us, we have secret evidence we can't share that Talarico has just been at home for some of these past 12 days. There are many problems here: 1, that doesn't prove that he didn't check himself into a mental health facility. Even taking that as true, we could only conclude he wasn't at a mental health facility for 8 of the 12 days. Self check-ins to mental health facilities are often short stays of 48 hours or 72 hours, my extensive experience in reading detective fiction tells me. 2, this "evidence" is shared by intense partisans -- the campaign itself -- and cannot be trusted. Nor can the intense partisans at the NYT, who will not share the information. 3, even if the claim were true, that would not explain why a 37 year old "man" disappears from the campaign trail for 12 straight days in the closing hours of the campaign to make photo collages and put together his own look books. 4, another reporter says it's not true, and no one has seen anyone at Talarico's home since the disappearance:
Talarico's own claims are varied and contradictory:
James Talarico 2 weeks ago: “I went to the urgent care here in Dallas.”
Now he’s saying he only visited his primary care physician. What is Talarico hiding? https://t.co/eYvL9Ynprt— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 11, 2026
I didn’t make up anything. Talarico bailed for 12+ days in the middle of the most important campaign in the country and his campaign handled it like a bunch of novices who were covering something up. Grown men don’t disappear like that.
He must explain himself. You can’t fix this for him, sorry.— Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) October 12, 2026
ShipwreckedcrewIs there evidence he employs an army of paid bots and influencers? Why yes there is!
@shipwreckedcrew The Memo has gone out to the Lib Influencers: "Knock this story down by posting that everyone is going to get sued for posting rumors about Talarico." Hey Libs -- it would not be so hard to decipher your coordinated messaging if you all could resist the urge to post the same thing at the same time. "Coordinated Messaging" = False = Propaganda.
Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸
@Bubblebathgirl As if Talarico's campaign isn't already having a bad day, a New York Times report released Sunday says dozens of TikTok accounts were paid $4 per 1,000 views to post positive clips about him. The company behind the payments is Frontier Media. Naturally his campaign says it had nothing to do with it. The money Frontier Media used to pay for pro-Talarico social content had to come from somewhere. These paid "clippers" weren't a tiny side effort. They accounted for nearly a quarter of the Talarico-related videos the Times looked at in a 24-hour window. The money's source is still unclear and Frontier Media has no visible FEC filings. The campaign's denial is noted, but the volume of paid content is not. Follow the money is the obvious course of action. Between today's blockbuster mental health facility claims and now this NYT article on paid support for Talarico, it's unthinkable that his campaign survives the week let alone a debate or election. Organic support is one thing. A network of accounts getting paid by the view to flood the platform with positive clips is another. Voters can tell the difference. The appearance of a spontaneous online army collapses once the payments are documented. That's what the Times just did. It should be mentioned that a man in the U.S. just got sentenced to jail for artificially creating consumption of his AI songs on streaming services. There should be similar penalties for artificially creating support for a political candidate, without disclosing it, on social media. The fraud is for profit. In the streaming case financially, in the Talarico case politically and also financially. Both are clearly immoral and should be criminal.

Huh?
How can he be well enough to work every day -- even if just low-effort paper-pushing -- but not well enough for a zoom call, a phone call, or even a social media post? That makes no sense at all.
He and his campaign are clearly lying about why he was gone. They're not helping themselves either.

The holes in this one were evident pretty quickly. Now the big question is will there be lawsuits in response?
It's obvious BS. If Talarico had actually had a mental breakdown, why would he go to Ohio for treatment and not, say, anywhere in his home state? Why wouldn’t he simply have someone come to him?
MAGA are so scared and desperate. Shall we send them a fruit basket??
Nah, send them a basket of dildos. Just like people did to those fucks that took over that wildlife refuge in Oregon. That was awesome, the whiny little fucks had to beg people to stop sending them dildos.
Lies are about all they’ve got left… Well… That and voter intimidation and post-vote ballot seizures…
The last three political candidates with clear, demonstable mental issues--Feinstein, Fetterman, and Trump--won their elections, so I'm not sure this is really the attack angle the Republicans think it is...
Legally it IS libel, and they're in "Carol Burnett" territory. (National Enquirer published a malicious and provably false libel, she took them to court **and won.**)

I still return to people calling a stomach virus or a regular cold "flu." If it was "real" flu (Influenza A or B) there has been a drug, Tamiflu, for decades. This shortens the length of illness and blunts side effects.
Twelve days for influenza? Nah. It used to be (pre-covid) a week. With lingering cough that can possibly then lead to mycoplasma and "walking pneumonia" as a secondary infection.
I say pre-covid as I believe this is in every infection now and the common cold of 7days goes longer. Another of my theories due to observing it with family and myself. Making me hate the chy knee more often for their man made plandemic.
If he had the shigella ghey shites, I am unsure the duration of that without antibiotics. However, altho I am reading it can be antibiotic resistant, there are antibiotics for regular shigella shites.
I still prefer the grocery store raciss story of him calling a black youth a n and some other stuff. Because the boy would not let him ahead in line, with King T. only having two items. This would destroy his election.

I think he's just a weak-willed millennial (I am a millennial as well) who is not used to serious work like months' long campaigning and just decided to take a break. Whether that was at his home because of "the flu" or whether he did go to Ohio for the mental health break, it doesn't matter.
He also probably knows that he has no chance and has known for a while, so all the hard work felt pointless. Why not just take a few days?

That seems the only explanation for why he would literally disappear for two weeks. Even if he was in the looney bin, they could have staged some kind of zoom call or something as proof of life.
But even as calls grew for "where's James?" he still stayed hidden. Why? Why couldn't the gimp at least make a zoom call?
I think it's because he was in the hospital tied up to machines.

********
HIPPA law clearly states that unless the facility had Telerico's consent, his name should not have been given by phone or discussed as him being a patient there.
When trauma's enter the ED they are given a code name. My job as a RN case manager was to contact family after the police or hwy patrol gave me the ID. I was present in the trauma room when the patient arrived. They are then entered into the computer system with their real names. Large screens in ED's, for decades, have been hidden from public view and for staff use only. If a staff member is not in direct patient care with a patient they can be fired for looking at the records. This happens with famous people as patients and nosy staff look...which then targets them with IT, and they are fired.
The lady who answered the phone, as of yesterday, was fired, no doubt. Of course they are going to lie about it as it is federal law. On top of lawsuits they can lose licensure and Medicare/Medicaid status from Joint Commission.

Veteran political journalist Jim Acosta said Monday that President Donald Trump has revealed a "25th Amendment crisis" on the country's hands as he stumps for Republicans in formerly safe districts.
Acosta joined former Republican lawyer George Conway on the debut episode of his podcast, "Psycho Politics," where the two reacted to some of the comments Trump has made during his recent rallies. They played a clip of the president boasting to a crowd, "I could say the stupidest things, and you would clap."

I live in a very blue dot inside a sea of red. Every election season my neighborhood is plastered with every possible Democrat running. From President to senate to gov to state rep to dog catcher. In contrast there is virtually nothing for Republicans.
Every election, the Democrat never cracks 40%.
Quantity of lawn signs is really not indicative of anything.

I do it reluctantly, knowing their limited efficacy, because the last two times I had the flu were pretty bad. It's a gamble. When I see the doc, I'll ask for one of the old "tried-and-true" vaxes, and not the new mRNA stuff.
Posted by: gp at October 13, 2026 12:36 PM (Jr5Lq)
**********
I do the same since Influenza B knocked us all out for a week in the late '80's. So far so good and no mRNA for us, either.
That last flu gave me mild lung issues and unlike others I am a believer that it either has stopped me from flu or will lessen symptoms..and yes, I would ask for Tamiflu if I ever get it again (please no).

When there's this back and forth about who is desperate for a debate and who is not, most of the time, the one desperate for a debate is losing and knows it and wants the debate to change the direction of the race.
Paxton refusing to debate is a signal that he knows that Texas is a Trump+14 state that isn't going to swing 15 points to the left because of Talarico.

He is not going to lose the black vote. The black vote is partisan in general elections.
However, it's not going to help with his turnout issues with black voters. Jasmine keeps signalling to them that they don't need to support him because of his racist campaign against here and that he's such a mediocre white man (no lies detected), and I think she's just voicing what the black electorate in Texas (and perhaps further afield) already feels about candidates they didn't choose as a racial bloc this cycle.
Talarico will win 85% of the black vote.
But it'll be 11% of the electorate instead of 13%.

That's not how it works.
The flu almost always comes from China. It's because they have pig farmers who basically cohabitate with their pigs. CDC and other groups keep track of infections in the region.
At any given time, there are three or four different variants floating around in the population. These variants aren't the same each year. They use this information to try to predict which variant is going to be the predominant one that takes off and jumps to the US. Then they spin up the flu shot production process for that variant.
Sometimes they're right, sometimes not.

In fact, I would bet it's basically SOP for these influencers.
I think it's high time advertisers filed class actions against these platforms for defrauding ad-buyers to the tune of billions. They know what's going on and give it a hand-wave. The fraud helps their balance sheets. X, YT, etc. should be made to pay up, of course, but also forced to provide transparency for pricing purposes.

Also the rides usually have backup restraints. Those big horseshoe restraints they clamp down on you are also held down by a manual clasp. But shit happens.

My observation was when the ED's stopped asking your citizenship status and treating illegals for free.
Granted,anyone in a car accident should be treated. A sore throat? No.

We don't need it because we don't have any investigative journalists to suppress. We do have a law that prohibits landlords from screening prospective renters' criminal records. We do have a law that almost every arrestee gets out on no bail. We've got some doozies.

Okay well I really wasn't interested but now you got me.
He's a really fat guy, getting accelerated maybe around 40 to 50 miles an hour, lateral change of direction - he isn't physically strong enough to hold himself in - because of the mass times acceleration thingy - hmm.
I guess that could happen. I mean, though, haven't an epic amount of fat people have ridden that thing before him and not gone flying off?????
So, I guess I'm still dubious.

Couple of things; it's not a hospital, and there appears to be two companies involved. The "Linder Center for HOPE" is one, and another is "Lindner Center of Hope Professional Associates," a separate 501c3. The LCforH does not list treatment in their filing, the LCofHPA does. If the 'administrator' worked for the facility not the treatment company, she may not be under HIPAA.

I love you guys but get weary post covid of reading about the war of regular injections.
I have mild asthma if I get a cold since the minor lung damage in the 80's from Influenza B.
Non of the shots since has bothered me in any way. I also have never gotten the flu since.
This is why it's my choice and I don't care and freely admit it. I also got the Tdap when our first grandson was born (pre-covid). No problems and it was recommended to protect him.
Big deal. Not mRNA, which I would never have. Believe me I check and if all goes to mRNA I will stop. Until then I carry on and will get the dam shot once I am over this sinus thing.

that said, don't the workers check (pull up) each harness before they let the group go? he probably went AROUND the harnesss. from the pics I saw, it was really sort of narrow and small. not an over the head one
I found a picture of the seat harness on the ride the deceased fell from.

It looks like a bad design for heavy riders. If you're slimmer, that device is going to fit around your hips and clamp down. But if you're big, you'll need to really press down for that device to clamp around skeletal structure. If you don't press down enough, there's going to be room for your body to move when enough G-forces are pushing you around.

it occurs to me that he was riding with his son - maybe he was too fat but begged them to let him go with his son, who was afraid to ride alone? I have seen situations like this before!
with height (me) it's you make it or you don't lol. but with size? even a scale wouldn't necessarily "work" - you'd have to just say as a worker "hey sorry um..."
definitely a gray area

There are pics of the guy. He's definitely overweight, but not so big that he couldn't fit in the seat.
To add insult to injury, there are pics from those souvenir cameras with his buttcrack plainly visible as he's flying out of the car.

Pretty standard design for coasters that don't go upside down. But ... that thing should have a mechanical strap that holds the harness close to the body.
I'll bet the guy's restraint was never properly closed because he was too big, and it therefore didn't "lock" in place.

It's a dead virus and if it was immediate she was already exposed.
If she got it months later it is not 100% but I take it anyway in hopes it won't put me and my wonky lungs in the hospital. Again, I made this decision in the late '80's seeing how sick I got with a secondary mycoplasma infection right after the "real" flu of 104 degrees and missing a week of work. It was felt to be safe then by doctors I trusted.
I 1000% believe mRNA changes DNA and people have died from the covid vax.
If the UV rays of the sun changes DNA to give you cancer, I am not putting mRNA in my body.
I totally agree with being anti-mRNA and wish it was gone forevermore.

1. No matter what the law says, there is an insane amount of intake paperwork and it doesn't get put into the system immediately. I have been told by a receptionist that Pooky is not a patient, despite a phone call from his doctor telling me where he was *and* Pooky signing a "Yes, you can tell people I'm here" form.
2. A minimum of 72 hours is a standard stay not just because of the law, but so you can get at least one good night of sleep. (Sooooo many mental issues are aggravated by lack of sleep.) Private institutions get antsy if you stay more than 72 hours because then they have to justify things to insurance companies. The VA is its own insurance company, so they will keep you as long as they think you need it, and afterward, you go to outpatient programs.

We've never had flu shots and have only had flu that one time. I suspect our experience in 1999 provides some cross-immunity. In any case, we seem to be far more resistant than our acquaintances who get shots.

Aka, just b/c a 17 year old 1st year employee gets you snapped in, it does not mean it's safe for you, even if your kid wants to ride it.
Anyone over a certain weight shouldn't ride any thrill rides b/c they aren't designed for morbidly obese unless there are specific disability seats (which usually can also accomodate obese folks b/c of their design).
