The telefreako saga continues.
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… So many coincidences!

Was pretty conservstive, ot not so much???
His ads have slammed REP. Marshall [an MD who has sued patients for failure to pay medical bills, and even the former patient did not showbiz for court date, they were arrested so Hamilton ads claimed Marshall was throwing them in jail for debt, which is a violation of Kansas state constitution which outlaws debtor prisons….]

I think Pastor Hamilton’s ability to present Biblical history truths is A+.
I also know he is running under the D banner which automatically causes me to oppose his effort to win a U.S. Senate seat.
The fact that polls show such a deep erosion of % for Marshall in such a short time to me is alarming.

Bessent tears Elizabeth Warren a new a-hole in hilarious letter:
I have received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration’s reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.
While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed NO Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and millions of families are utilizing Trump Accounts to unlock a new savings vehicle for children. All of which you voted against.
“Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day in advance to you and your family.”

CNN “fact check” that Dems don’t support gender surgery for children
The limited available data suggests a tiny percentage of transgender people receive surgery as minors and that the vast majority of the gender surgeries that minors do receive are chest procedures between the ages of 15 and 17.”

True, but not confirming is a tell too.
In other words, the facility could state “no one name Talarico was a patient here”, that is not a HIPPA violation.

AND the really good part was placing my two $2 bets on horses in 6 of the 8 races we stayed for.
I am pleased to report that our TWO $2 in 6 races out of 8 won.
In one ofbthe two races i did not win, MY horse was wildly bumped and pushed hard toward the outside rail in the first turn as he was accellerating and making his move to pass the #2 and #3 horses to challenge the lead horse and the jockey had to pull him up and just trop aroind in last place way behind the rest of the pack.
Usually picked show or place but sometimes placed a $2 to win bet.
Usually, both $2 tickets paid off. No “big” win until the last race.
Both $2 “to show” tickets paid off. We got $50 total payout for these two. One $2 show tickets paid back $40.60 and the other $9.40.

Here are the three counter-arguments of cope about the Talarico tape: A) There is another James Talarico or someone with a very similar name who was recently discharged from that facility (pretty damn weird coincidence given the plane situation) B) The employee was just trying to get Rhein to screw off (unlikely because she seemed patient and never talked to him before, not sure she’d pretend to violate HIPAA for that) C) The call is entirely fake (despite the call log, previous shown attempts/call recordings to the facility, and despite the fact it is a trusted source who has never done anything like this before, and does not want a giant lawsuit on his hands) I think it’s evident that there is objectively at least a 70% chance Talarico was at that facility for some amount of time, whether he was sick earlier in his period of absence or not. The odds that the Talarico campaign would just go dark for almost 2 weeks without providing any updates, or not try to milk the flu for fundraising/political purposes is strange. If the flu was so bad to warrant hospitalization, there would be evidence of that (and possibly a “Get Well, James” rally near the hospital). The guy likely has a flu shot as he is diabetic, and I just can’t see him having an “urgent care takes care of it” flu that warrants him going dark for 12 days. If he truly wanted to “not infect anyone”, he likely still does telerallies. Not to mention the plane that checks out with the airline he frequently flew arriving to Austin that morning from an airport in suburban Cincinnati (strange coincidence), and the fact that his friend in Texas had used the Ohio facility before. Let’s not be naive here either way, and if more evidence comes out, this cover-up is objectively more corrupt than anything Paxton has ever done. Ever. The race is virtually over based on that alone.
