Texas Peaker 💪

@ick_real You gotta really want it, and be willing to sacrifice to get it. “You either quit or keep going. They both hurt”.

I wanna get addicted to getting up early, hitting the gym, and eating healthy like y’all, what’s the secret??

@BrooksPotteiger @jbendery This is why I like Talarico, he believes in the separation of government for all and theology. He seems sincere and honest in who he is and what he says. It’s refreshing, and he has my vote.

This headline is excellent clickbait. Yet, it suffers from the fact that it’s false. I should know as I happen to be pretty close to that fella you slandered. And, strange you used a picture of someone who has literally nothing to do with the conversation at hand. I get it, outrage not understanding is the name of the game today. One could hope for better, but so it is. Yet, for those rare few who actually desire understanding, I’ll share a few clarifying thoughts. Let me break it down. Talarico joyfully advocates for the right for babies to be murdered in the womb. He also knowingly twists the Scriptures to suggest God supports the murder of babies. This is impressively horrifying. Now, I don’t think it’s good to celebrate the right to murder babies. In fact, I think it’s quite egregious — especially when elected officials, the ones who are charged by God to promote righteousness and to condemn wickedness (Romans 13:3-4), do so. I also believe ministers have a moral obligation to rebuke magistrates who pervert justice and promote wickedness in the name of God. Now, as it turns out, God in His wisdom has given us imprecatory psalms where He calls for His people to ask that He’d bring low and frustrate the plans of evildoers. Yes, He even says so in capital terms. Yet, I understand the imprecatory psalms, like I do all of Scripture, first and foremost in light of Christ. And so, as a Christian, when I pray imprecatory psalms about those who celebrate baby murder, I am not, from my heart, praying for their death. I’m praying for their conversion. That the “old man” would die. That he would be “crucified with Christ” (Pauline language for conversation) and raised to new life, and given a new heart with new desires. Interestingly, you neglected to quote where I said my desire is for him to become “Talarico of Tarsus” (i.e., a man who formerly breathed out murderous threats — like Saul — who is changed by Christ and becomes a force for the gospel). Strange to wish for a man’s death while also saying what man I’d like him to emulate. You are free to disagree, but does not journalistic integrity require you to present my view honestly.

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” huffpost.com/entry/pete-heg…

@SloopyTexas @GregAbbott_TX @grok I’m referencing the Governor’s disdain toward Garza and his attempts to get rid of him, not what will happen to the police officer. I asked XAi because I was curious how successful that law targeting Austin has been. You can always keep scrolling you know.

@PeakerNation @GregAbbott_TX @grok You don't even know what law applies here and now you're asking a clanker to give you an opinion. I'm struggling to take you seriously.

All of this will be taken into consideration when I have the final say on the fate of the police officer. This DA's failure to prosecute murderers & repeatedly letting dangerous criminals go free, while prioritIzing prosecuting police, will have consequences. foxnews.com/politics/soros… #FoxNews

@SloopyTexas @GregAbbott_TX @grok How successful has the Texas Rogue Prosecutor law been?

No that act had to do with paying people who served time and later exonerated I think. The Rogue Prosecutor law was created a few years ago to target Austin, which refuses to prosecute cannabis users. They went after him in 2024 not long after the law passed. The Governor hates Austin almost as much as he hates public education, he doesn’t try to hide it. kut.org/crime-justice/…

@5am1am_6 Be kind, always. Treat others how you want to be treated, regardless of how they treat you.

POV: You finally decided to choose peace over neighbor drama and the boundary markers are the only energy you’re entertaining today. 💅✨

@SloopyTexas @GregAbbott_TX He tried under a law created to target him, a judge dismissed it.

@PeakerNation @GregAbbott_TX If the DA is withholding exculpatory evidence from defendants, then the governor absolutely has the right to remove him under Texas law.

We’ll see in November. She started as a school board trustee before she was elected to the state legislature. She is a champion of public education, whereas Abbott has plunged Texas education into one of the worst in the nation by starving schools while he championed vouchers. Under Ann Richards Texas was ranked 7th in the nation.

@PeakerNation @dave_not_here @GregAbbott_TX She needs all the luck to get a better job because she's not winning

@EvanSlaughenho2 @RepMikeLevin It doesn’t work to register to vote, non-citizens have them too.

@RepMikeLevin BS. Real ID driver's license works perfectly fine for voting under the Save America Act. Get your facts straight and stop lying

If you changed your name when you got married, take notice.    Under the SAVE Act, your driver’s license wouldn’t be enough to vote. You’d need a birth certificate that matches your current legal name. Most women who changed their name at marriage don’t have that. And getting it costs money you shouldn’t have to spend just to cast a ballot.    Republicans aren’t targeting noncitizens. They’re targeting you.

@dave_not_here @GregAbbott_TX I didn’t choose, the citizens of Travis County did. And yes, good luck to all involved in this latest flare up of state control. And good luck to Gina Hinojosa in November!

@PeakerNation @GregAbbott_TX And you did choose. And this DA is what you got. Great work. Maybe next time look beyond the bumper sticker slogans before you vote. Good luck. You’ll need it.

The Governor is just so arrogant, and a manipulative bully as well. He nor police officers are above the law, and voters have a right to choose their local elected leaders whether he approves of them or not. He has tried to get the DA removed through legislation and the courts, but has failed. I’ll be glad when he leaves office. It will be nice to have someone with integrity back in the governor’s office.

@PeakerNation @GregAbbott_TX And you got exactly what you voted for. Great job.

@PpollingNumbers If Paxton wins the runoff, I look forward to the Pastor vs Adulterer debate.

News - Trump says any Republican could beat Talarico in Texas, but hasn’t endorsed in the Senate primary. A Cornyn–Paxton runoff is set for May 26.

@KhyleDeen @BlessedMeenu @DoctorLemma @grok It seemed to me I was missing part of the story, I’m glad the question was asked.

@BlessedMeenu @DoctorLemma @grok The original post explains everything, why would that post need to lie? It’d be like me asking Grok if I had just replied to you, I know I did. You know the story, you’ve just read it, you don’t need it re-confirmed

11 years ago, a 16-year-old kid was bagging groceries at a supermarket when a customer took his photo without him knowing and posted it online. Alex Lee started his shift on 2 November 2014 with 144 Twitter followers. By the time his mum picked him up from work that evening, he had 100,000. By the next morning, 300,000. His phone number was leaked and the notifications crashed it completely. Within days, #AlexFromTarget was the number one trending topic on the platform. Girls showed up at his store in groups. A man offered his co-workers a hundred dollars to find out where he was. His manager moved him to the stockroom to finish his shift. His family’s personal and financial records were leaked online. His girlfriend, who he’d met in chemistry class two weeks earlier, started receiving threats from strangers. He appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, was flown across the country for appearances, and eventually had to leave school because of it all. The day he turned 18 he moved cities to try to build a career in social media. He hated it. One manager took control of his accounts. Another allegedly stole over $30,000 from him. He fired them both and quit the internet entirely. He’s 27 now. Lives with his girlfriend, loads trucks at a delivery depot in the mornings, and has no public social media presence. In 2024 he said the job pays less but he’s a lot happier. “I never wanted to be ‘Alex from Target.’ Absolutely not.”

@jakes_gg @Miriam2626 x.com/teamtalaricohq…

@Miriam2626 He’s given us all we need to send him to the losers club with Beto-

The amount of Republican trolls responding to my tweets that elevate James Talarico fuels my optimism that James is a realistic threat to Republican control over the Senate. The Republicans will be spending millions in Texas to try to defeat him.

@Lancegooden So much misinformation and downright lies being posted about him, that’s a clear sign he is doing well. Feeling really good about his chances to win based on the number of attacks being posted about him, including that he’s not a real pastor or trying to compare him to Beto.

A recap of what James Talarico believes: - Jesus Christ was a "radical feminist" - White men are the "greatest" terror threat - There are "six" biological sexes - The border should be a "front porch" - Atheists are "more Christ-like" than Christians Talarico is too woke, too radical, and out of touch with Texans!

@Miriam2626 I agree, it’s a sign of his growing support. The most telling ones are those who try to compare him to Beto. I’m optimistic as well!

@JohnnyWhiskyTX It wasn’t that long ago that Texas public schools was one of the Top 10 states for quality education. Greg Abbott has made it one of the worst today. He is doing the same thing to higher education in Texas. I’m voting for Gina Hinojosa in November, she will reverse this trend.

Do Texans realize they are paying property taxes and Texas legislature is allowing those fund to pay Islamic Schools student vouchers?

@grok @cb_doge @GregAbbott_TX How many workers will be employed there?

The advanced technology fab (Terafab project) is starting right at/near Tesla's Gigafactory Texas in southeast Austin (Travis County, near the Colorado River). The event video showed an aerial of the Giga Texas campus with Tesla/xAI/SpaceX branding overlaid—it's expanding there for the fast chip iteration loop Elon described. No exact new address yet since it's brand new today.

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank @GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."
