What is wrong with Paxton's eye? I asked Grok. Answer:
"At age 12 a berry thrown during hide-and-seek nearly cost him the eye; doctors later removed the lens. In college an elbow during basketball shattered bones on the same side of his face; surgeons wired the area back together. The result is the slightly closed or “lazy” look and the color difference that stands out on camera."
Transgender is homo in drag which is misogynistic satire.
Before I read it, I thought "The campaign definitely wrote this and will fill it with policy stuff, not drag..." Nope.
Didn't move the needle at all. That said, Paxton seems like an a-hole.
Hooray! Drag Abby Lee "Dance Moms!" That's what's been missing for just ages!
And there is the time that Ken Paxton let a pedo off with one day of jailtime.

But, yeah, let's talk about drag performers. Typical but also pathetic.
“A response from the Texas drag queen Ta’rico…”
FIFY
It's like that famous line from the movie Liberty Valance, except substitute the word 'Smear' for 'Legend'.
DeeDee Bumslayah will perform…
When did Drag Performers (they are not all queens) stop admitting that they were only pretending to portray women on stage but that they were really men and did not go around pretending to *be* women?
RuPaul, our most famous drag star, was quite open about not permitting transgenders on his show. His show, he said, was about men portraying women, not women, which he considered trans women to be. Off stage, RuPaul never dresses as a woman.
Drag was always about transvestite, not transsexuals.

If i had a drag name it would be Kate Hweers.
Well typical and pathetic is your whole shtick triple d! Way to add to the conversation. At least your drive-by comment highlights the main differences between Paxton and Talerico. Paxton has been a good AG and has a record to run on. In fact he’s won statewide elections three times, which is three times more than Talerico who has only needed to win in kooky queer-friendly democrat stronghold of Travis County, where DAs spend their entire career persecuting Texan republicans. For all the Thomas Massie-like smears dd repeats he cannot point to any crime or terminal weirdness such as Talerico and his campaign are suffused with.
Why does a grown man seeking a job representing Texas nationally even HAVE a “favorite drag performer” (I refuse to adopt the gay term “queen”)? Why indeed.
I still don’t see the difference between black face or drag queen.
The left prefer they-them/ gender groomers and leftist teachers secretly transitioning our children in school without parental consent.
Here in leftist Austin the Austin statesman wrote a supposedly serious article about campaigns using AI in ads. Of course the ONLY two examples they noted was one supposedly by Paxton and one by Abbot. Amazing how clean and honest the democrat propaganda is. SMH, the msm media can not go bankrupt fast enough.
While it's good to focus some of this attention on the left's collective obsession with Trans (all while they flip the script each time you confront them with the tired "but it's only a small minority") There is a laundry list of items crazy Talirico.
Get it ALL out there.
The collective left demand you obsess over trans and allow biological males in women's private spaces and sports.
Men is dresses want attention and trophies. and they want to get there smashing women in the face. Sort of like Antifa thuggery (D)
Transsocial masculinity is misogyny expressed with pride on parade.
"Because Joe Joplin is a nice guy, he didn’t press charges."
So if a victim of a crime press charges, he is not a nice guy?Talarico is soft on crime?
Maybe Paxton could print up some "Vote for the Crook" bumper stickers a la Edwin Edwards in Louisiana when he was running against David Duke.
Ta’rico is soft in the head.
IEE (9:30): “𝘒𝘦𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘹𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴. 𝘏𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘹 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴. 𝘏𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦.

Three statewide wins are an electoral record, not a character reference. Paxton’s actual record includes impeachment by the Texas House, a securities-fraud case resolved through restitution and ethics training, and most recently—the extraordinary child-sex-abuse plea deal his office offered to Adam Hoffman: reduce felony charges to misdemeanors, no sex-offender registration, and essentially one day in jail. A judge rejected that outcome and imposed 60 days.
And the drag-performer nonsense? Having a favorite performer isn’t evidence of anything. If Paxton’s record is so strong, defend it on the facts not by inventing “terminal weirdness” out of someone’s entertainment preferences.
My BFF Gemini says:
"When the pen incident first emerged publicly, a spokesperson for Ken Paxton dismissed it as a simple mistake, stating that a pen had been shuffled between attorneys at a courthouse and that it was returned as soon as the error was realized".
Don’t underestimate Democrats’ willingness to elect shitbirds and crooks. Joe Dementia is only recently out and look at their list of hopefuls for POTUS. Talarico and El Sayed are good bets to win. Horrifying isn’t it?
I've lived in Texas off and on for almost 30 years. I've seen no statewide office go to a Democrat since I got here. I lived through the Beto O'Rourke years. To me, it's wild that an oddball like Talerico, a very left of center candidate with a lot of non-mainstream views, is running at least neck and neck with a sitting state AG endorsed by the governor and the president. There must be people out there like me that think it's worth having a divided government if it means seeing the last of these scumbags.
I can't tell if Hombre's 10:01 comment is parody or not (hard to tell these days), but I hope to live to see the end of this Flight 93 view of politics on both sides.
Character is what you do when no one is looking. The mere fact that Ken Paxton can be put forward as a leader shows you how far the state of Texas has truly fallen.
Just reaching for the Zofran at this point.

Please convince me that view is not correct.
The Ruthless Variety Show podcast (I watch and listen to it on YT) constantly points out this weird Democrat (the "weird" is superfluous) and the things he has said over the years. It's on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday. Hilarious as well. They have major political figures on for TRUE interviews.
As attorney general Paxton is in a great position to steal Texas tax dollars, and no doubt he does.
As a US Senator he can only steal US tax dollars, and not very directly. Nevertheless, he will be in a fine position to help his many friends (Texans!) steal US tax dollars, and that's good for Texas.
PerthJim,
"I hope to live to see the end of this Flight 93 view of politics on both sides."
Based on the 100-year leftward shift of America, it's clear the Left has been in the cockpit for a long time. They aren't in a position to make a last ditch rush of the same cockpit.
I guess the talking point went out - re jim 11:02. But it's BS.
Reality- Dems who steal our tax dollars- with their non stop pyramid scheme/ fraud schemes that line democrat pockets.
oh lookie here:
Following up on the federal-level story yesterday about kicking fraudulent or phantom members off Obamacare, Colorado has its own major healthcare spending problem. How much is fraud or waste? Colorado lawmakers oversee Medicaid spending - $158 million over budget. Fraud.
I am a Texan and look forward to voting for Ken Paxton with great joy. The fact that the schmuck on the other side, Talarico, is in (at least political) bed with drag queens doesn’t really affect my vote. Talarico’s sorry nature on everything else already guided me to deciding to eagerly vote for Paxton on Election Day. This drag queen thing is really just icing on an otherwise baked cake.
Perhaps trivia but: In 1948 there was a hotly contested election between LBJ and popular former gov Coke Stevenson. LBJ squeaked through due to famous antics with Ballot Box 13.
Lots of people know that story. It is how LBJ got the nickname "Landslide Lyndon"
What very few people realize is that it was not the senatorial election.
It was the democrat primary. At that time Democrats were in such tight control of the state that the primary was the only election that mattered.
Robert Caro covered it in depth.
And the corruption was so deep that the folks in charge of ballot box 13 treated it as a joke, taking pictures of themselves standing around it and grinning.

Where is that "$5000" coming from? Democrats used to be the party of theft and kickbacks. Now, post-MAGA theft and kickbacks are bipartisan. The Trump Crime Family is like nothing we have seen. It makes the Bidens look like boyscouts.
Nobody gives a shit about trannys. They want lower gas prices and more jobs. This isn't helping. Even in Texas.
Until recently, all decent adults agreed that children shouldn't be subjected to drag queens. What's the point? It's not entertainment. Kids should be watching Mickey Mouse or Thomas the Tank Engine. Or playing Hide and Seek.
Children should not be sexualized. That was the norm before about 1968.
This election has come down to Crazy v. Common Sense.
As I wrote yesterday, Mike Rogers less than a 30% chance on Kalshi of winning the Senate race in MI. Betting odds are not the same as a public opinion poll or an actual vote, but still that's shocking to me.
It would be crazy for the State of MI to send a Jew hater to the Senate. And this Abdul guy has all sorts of other problems. His political beliefs are crazy. I think he has the support of Hassan Piker.
Never seen before commenter who says he's lived in Texas for 30 years calls himself "Perth Jim." Because Texas.
Dave Begley:
It's not so much that Abdul Whatsisname "has the support of Hassan Piker", it's that he welcomes his support, and gladly appears with him. David Duke has embarrassed at least one Republican candidate - I forget which one - by publicly supporting him, but the candidate did not welcome his support, in fact told him (more politely) to stick his support up his ass. Abdul hasn't done that with Piker, because he agrees with Piker, which makes him a contemptible swine.
If the people of Texas elect Talarico, the business refugees from CA might want to keep moving.

It is interesting how "transvestite" has all but disappeared from the language.
The open letter doesn’t seem to address the charge tgst he grooms children. Am I missing something?
