Ohio Mental Hospital Reportedly Confirms that James Talarico was Discharged as Dem’s Campaign Screams ‘This is a Lie!’ and Calls It a ‘Pathetic Conspiracy Theory’

Receipts were just dropped by several investigative reporters producing a recorded call with a mental hospital that claimed that Texan Democrat James Talarico was just discharged. His campaign is still claiming he had the flu. More damning evidence is coming – time for Talarico to bow out of the race.

And there it is… Looks like Texan soy boy Democratic Senate candidate and all-around Marxist James Talarico has some ‘splainin’ to do, and the clock is ticking. As reported previously, Talarico was missing for roughly two weeks. His campaign claimed he had the flu, and Friday he finally showed his face with some supporters at the Austin City Limits music festival for about 15 minutes. However, investigative reporter Rhein Amacher confirmed with a mental hospital in Mason, Ohio, that Talarico was checked in there and has now been discharged. Oops.

Rumors are still swirling around the claim, but it now has a lot of credence since Amacher recorded that call. The reporter said he personally confirmed Talarico’s stay by calling the hospital, and he produced the receipts. That’s pretty damning.

“During my recorded call, an individual identifying themselves as a female facility employee reportedly stated that Talarico was no longer a patient and had been discharged within the previous 24–48 hours,” he posted on X.

The unidentified woman Amacher spoke with checked her records and told him that Talarico “was just discharged this evening; that’s why I don’t have it,” after telling him she could not confirm he was an inpatient. Except she just did.

Talarico’s Campaign Made Things So Much Worse With This Move

Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) had an easy way to shut down the rumors about his disappearance this week, and his campaign refused to take it.

As we previously reported, Talarico, the Democrat candidate for the Senate, vanished from public view a month before the election, and multiple people say sources are telling them that he checked himself into a mental institution following some kind of breakdown. Those claims remain unverified. The absence, however, is real, and the campaign is being quite aloof about it.

Talarico last appeared in Texas at a football game on Sept. 26. Invitations show New York City fundraisers with Robert De Niro on Sept. 28 and 29. Then, on Sept. 30, he appeared by video at a Hispanic business event he had committed to attending in person, blaming the flu and saying he had visited a Dallas clinic. GOP strategist Caroline Wren points out that this story places him in a Dallas clinic on the same night he was supposed to be working a room in Manhattan.

Nobody has seen him in public since.

“I’m hearing that he checked himself into a mental institution, that he had a full-blown mental breakdown sometime around, I guess, September 29th or September 30th,” Wren said. When Bannon suggested Talarico might just be off raising money in New York or Los Angeles, she countered that photos from those events would have surfaced by now.

“So, I heard this from someone in Texas,” Wren said, adding, “I have no idea what the truth is.” She called on investigative reporters to chase the story down, and she’s right to do so. A claim like this about any candidate of either party needs proof.

Watch the Hosts of ‘The View’ Openly Campaign for Texas Democrat James Talarico on the Air

This week, Ana Navarro, Whoopi Goldberg, and the rest of the crew on ‘The View’ openly campaigned for far left Texas Democrat James Talarico on the air, in what seems to be a clear violation of FCC rules.

This has been happening a lot lately. Less than two weeks ago, Ana Navarro openly campaigned for a Democrat running for a House seat in Florida.

Trump’s FCC has been looking into these claims. It couldn’t be more obvious, could it?

The hosts are openly cheerleading for the Democrats to win.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think we will. I think we will see Texas go blue, actually.

I really do.

In September not only one but eight pollsters had Talarico ahead. 51 to 45 percent. That’s significant given a Democrat hasn’t won statewide office in 30 years. That same poll showed that he is leading Paxton among women, 56 percent to 40 percent. Among voters, 18 to 29, 66 percent to 22 percent. And among Hispanics 62 percent to 30 percent. We are talking about Texas. He is going to win this race.

GOLDBERG: We’ll see. We’ll see.

GOLDBERG: Remember. As – I’m sorry. As you guys pointed out the other day, we’ve seen this before. We have seen – I and suddenly some weird number comes out. And you’re going, ‘wait, what happened?’ So, fingers crossed.

ANA NAVARRO: You’re not kidding. 2016 left me scarred.

GOLDBERG: I know.

Talarico Campaign Caught in a Major Lie on Top of a Major Lie – Campaign Can’t Get Their Lines Straight on His NY Donor Dinners

Screwball Democrat James Talarico left Texas and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since he went missing…  And, now his campaign is caught in even more lies about his disappearance!

Wackadoodle Democrat James Talarico has not been seen in Texas for 11 days!

Talarico went to New York to raise money from angry Robert DeNiro and Zohran Mamdani supporters and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since then.

Republican savior and Talarico opponent, Ken Paxton, noticed his opponent for governor of Texas was missing.

Ken Paxton wrote: “WATCH: James Talarico has been missing for 11 days. He was last seen in Texas on September 26th. While his campaign continues to lie to Texans, he is nowhere to be seen.”

James Talarico’s Campaign Goes MIA. What’s Going On?

Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) has disappeared from the campaign trail with 28 days left before he faces Republican Ken Paxton. His campaign calendar now lists no public appearances for the candidate himself, only canvassing and get-out-the-vote gatherings.

According to a report from our sister site Townhall, Talarico’s last public sighting in Texas came on Saturday, Sept. 26, more than a week ago. He then left for a fundraising trip to New York City, where the VIP dinner ran $27,000 a plate. The guest list included a filmmaker who called America a “s***hole” and a group that advocates child sex change surgeries.

The absences piled up from there. Talarico skipped his in-person Sept. 30 speech to the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley and joined virtually from a hotel instead. The explanation attendees got was, “His staff says he’s ill and was unable to travel.” During that remote appearance, Talarico said he had to seek treatment at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, and social media users have disputed that timeline.

Then came the recycled footage. On Friday, Oct. 2, the campaign posted video from a Feb. 22 rally, held before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current.

Failing San Antonio Public School Hosts Democrat-Backed Anti-ICE Protesters with Vulgar Displays

In yet another chapter of the saga to stop a planned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in San Antonio, protesters organized by the Bexar County Democrats held a march and rally that began and ended at a local public middle school. Protesters, some carrying signs with vulgar messages, fanned out in front of the campus shouting anti-ICE slogans during the early Saturday morning protest.

The anti-ICE protest, dubbed the “March for Freedom and Justice” and held at Davis Middle School, featured an appearance by U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX). Protesters carried multiple signs and included static displays on the campus with vulgar messages.

One static display over a table under a tent read, “Fuck DHS,” while another prominently displayed a large Mexican flag with similar messaging critical of ICE. The rally concluded after San Antonio police officers escorted the group of more than one hundred protesters to the proposed ICE facility and back to the public-school campus.

Breitbart Texas attended the event at the Davis Middle School campus, which is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). A request for information from SAISD about the partisan-sponsored anti-ICE event on the Davis campus, which included a voter registration drive, remains unanswered as of press time.

Jasmine Crockett In Hot Water Legally After Boneheaded Move

Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s campaign-funded merchandise website advertised more than political swag: It offered lobbying services while the Texas Democrat was still serving in Congress, according to Zeteo.

The listing disappeared after the outlet contacted her office. Crockett’s spokesperson said she had not instructed anyone to put it there.

The offerings raised questions about congressional ethics and potential legal violations, experts told Zeteo.

Visitors to the website for Crockett’s merchandise line, “The Clapback Collection,” could find a button near the bottom that read “Political Consultant- Book Now,” according to the report.

Clicking through brought up options ranging from campaign strategy and management to government relations and lobbying. The menu also included communications and public relations, digital and social media work, and political risk management.

Crockett’s office said the site’s purpose was to sell campaign merchandise.

“This website is and has always been focused on selling campaign merchandise,” a Crockett spokesperson told Zeteo. “The Congresswoman has only advertised it for merchandise and did not build it,” they continued. “She never directed anyone to add the button you are inquiring about.”

The solicitation appeared by May, roughly two months after Crockett lost her Senate bid in March, according to Zeteo.

The report also drew a jab from progressive commentator Ryan Grim.

“Not waiting until you leave congress to start lobbying is impressive,” Grim wrote on X.

Federal Judge Blocks Border Wall Construction in Big Bend Region in Texas

A federal judge on Friday blocked border wall construction in the Big Bend region in Texas.

US District Judge Kathleen Cardone, a George W. Bush appointee, issued a preliminary injunction blocking border wall construction in Texas’s Big Bend region and Big Bend National Park.

The scope of Judge Cardone’s order includes patrol roads, border barriers or related infrastructure.

Environmental advocacy group Center for Biological Diversity filed the lawsuit in April and argued that the border wall construction lacked approval from Congress.

Judge Cardone sided with the plaintiffs on Friday and stopped the bulldozing and road-clearing by contractors while the lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

The Texas Tribune reported:

A judge on Friday blocked further border barrier construction in the Big Bend region, approving an environmental group’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

At the end of Friday’s hearing, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone asked the courtroom to remain calm while she read her order aloud from the bench.

She ruled that the plaintiffs’ constitutional claims to halt the construction were likely to succeed and her preliminary injunction against “ground-distrurbing activities” would remain in effect while the suit continued to play out in court.

The legal team at the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental advocacy group, filed the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and its secretary in April on behalf of the Friends of the Ruidosa Church, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving a historic church in Presidio County, and Danny William Miller, a Rio Grande river guide and landowner who stands to lose his property in Redford to the wall.

The lawsuit argues that the five contracted border wall projects in the region are unconstitutional for a range of reasons, including violating the constitutional separation of powers and depriving citizens of their land.

Trump DOJ Opens Investigation Into Texas Democrat PAC After Operative Caught on Tape Bragging About a “Roundabout” Way of “Paying People” for Votes

The Justice Department has opened an investigation into Texas Majority PAC after a viral undercover video showed a since-fired organizing manager spelling out what he called a “roundabout way of paying people for their votes” ahead of the midterms.

A source familiar confirmed the probe on Wednesday. The investigation was first reported by Fox News Digital, which said two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the department is looking at the Democrat operation that dumps millions into flipping Texas blue.

The footage that forced the feds’ hand was released by Townhall on September 16. Sky McAdams, then an organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, sat down with an undercover journalist and walked through the loophole he said the group uses to skirt federal election law while boosting Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico.

“We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things,” McAdams said on the tape. “So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.”

He did not stop there. McAdams told the undercover reporter you cannot hand someone cash and say, “Here’s $25, go vote for me.” What you can do, he said, is pay them to sit through a class. “And then the class just talks about the importance of… It’s a little gray.”

He named the program. “It’s called the Paid Relational Program.” He added that he thought “Rally Texas” was the official name. Then he said the quiet part out loud: “If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, that’s shady as f**k.”

The Gateway Pundit reported the tape the day it dropped. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican Talarico is trying to beat, did not mince words.
