From ‘ObamaCare’ to ‘JesusCare’?
Paxton will win, and he can thank Talarico for saying a bunch of weird things.
----------------------
They tell us that State Rep. James Talarico and AG Ken Paxton are in a tough fight here in Texas, within the margin of error, as the pollsters say. Paxton will win this, and he can thank Talarico for saying a bunch of weird things. Let's check this from Nick Arama:
We've seen a lot of wild statements from Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico.
But Talarico posted a screed on Sunday about how his healthcare positions were based on "biblical grounds," then misused Jesus to justify his takes.
When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible.
When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit.
When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power.
When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
On Biblical grounds? Well, that's just crazy. Where does this guy come up with this stuff?
What Talarico doesn't say is that millions of Americans are subsidized and receive health care. We are already taking care of our fellow Americans with public services, food stamps, and free this or that. And don't forget all the work of charities across Texas. For example, our church has a pantry where people can come and get free food.
In fact, I think that Jesus would look at our federal government and say that we destroyed families by creating dependency, and God only knows what he'd say about abortion. I don't think that Jesus would say that there are six genders or refer to some as our "neighbors with a uterus."
Talarico is a phony and a fraud. I don't have a problem with his church, but I would love to hear more about the real issues that a U.S. senator will have to work on.

We remember Gene Autry (1907-1998)
Gene Autry was born in Tioga, Texas and grew up here and Oklahoma. Where else?
We remember him for songs and movies. "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" is the second all-time best selling Christmas single, i.e. 30 million copies. He is the only entertainer to have all five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one each for Radio, Recording, Motion Pictures, Television, and Live Theater performances.
And he owned the Angels, the AL baseball team in Los Angeles. Sadly, he never saw his Angels win the 2002 World Series.
Autry was one of the most famous people of the 20th century.

"My Three Sons" made its debut in 1960
What can I say? I used to love this show not realizing that I would have 3 sons someday.
The original series was about widower Steve Douglas raising three sons with the help of the one and only Uncle Charlie.
The show ran until 1972. The family expanded when Douglas remarried and new characters came into the story.
By the way, McMurray died in 1991. He had a long film career before this show. Don Grady, who played Robbie, died in 2012. William Demarest, who played Uncle Charlie and served in World War I, died in 1983. The other two sons are still living.
A great show now available for sale..........

Happy # 77 to Steve Busby
Happy birthday Steve Busby who was born in Burbank, CA, on this day in 1949.
Some of us are old enough to remember Steve Busby the pitcher not just the man who called Rangers' games on TV and radio.
Steve played at USC. He broke with the Royals in 1972 pitching a complete game against Minnesota.
In the early 1970's, or before injuries cut short his career, Busby seemed like a man headed for the Hall of Fame: 54 wins over first three full seasons along with 45 complete games and 2 no-hitters before he was 24!
In fact, Sporting News had him on the cover: "Unlimited future"!
After baseball, Steve became an excellent radio and TV play by play analyst.

We remember Jerry Lee Lewis. (1935-2022)
We remember Jerry Lee Lewis, one of the first rockers in rock history. He was born on this day in 1935 in Louisiana and died in 2022.
In the early days of rock, Lewis recorded with Sun Records, or the same studio that featured a young Elvis. His music was raw rock, a killer piano and lots of energy.....

1954: Willie Mays and "the catch"
Willie Mays took playing center field to a new level in game 1 of the 1954 World Series. He made an amazing over-the-shoulder catch of a shot hit by Cleveland Indians first baseman Vic Wertz. It would have likely been a triple or even an inside of the park depending on how the ball bounced around in deep centerfield. Instead, it was a long out!
"The catch" started the legend of Willie Mays, from playing defense to being perhaps the most complete player ever.

"Inconvenient" truths 20 years later plus a word about polls
"Inconvenient" truths 20 years later plus a word about polls.....
The truth got Gored
They used to lie with statistics, but now they write books or make alarmist predictions about climate change.
-------------------------------
They used to lie with statistics, but now they write books or make alarmist predictions about climate change. I’m so happy that I didn’t sell everything and look for a cave 1,000 miles from the ocean. The oceans didn’t rise and turn the coastal cities into lakes, and the Earth was not grilled out of existence by overwhelming heat.
All we can do now is enjoy reading how Stephen Moore mocks the alarmists:
“It was 20 years ago that Al Gore's book "An Inconvenient Truth" was published, and ... well, it turns out that the truth was inconvenient -- for Al and his band of apocalyptics.
Hang in there because Mr. Moore is only getting started:
“Claim: Kilimanjaro's snow would disappear within a decade.
Truth: The mountain still has ice/snow, although its glaciers have shrunk.
Claim: Glacier National Park's glaciers will disappear by 2020 or so. Truth: No, they have not disappeared. Maybe his timing was just way off.
Claim: Sea levels could rise by about 20 feet.”
Pure trash is all you can say about that.
As someone who loves the environment and doesn’t alarm people like former VP Gore did, let me say that I’m delighted that the predictions turned out to be false. We need convenient truths, not all this crazy stuff about polar bears that scared little children.
Remember all these lies the next time that some clown is slowing down traffic about climate change.
