America is praying for Austin.
But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we’re not willing to solve ourselves.

That’s James Talarico, the Texas state representative who was the leader in the Democrat Senate primary. Well, he was the leader until the clownish, even farther left Houston Congresswoman Jasmine Crocket got into the race a few months ago. Now Talarico is running behind Crocket…or not, depending on which poll you’re looking at.
Last night, a suburban Austin man identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized citizen from Senegal, opened fire in a bar on the city’s busy Sixth Street. He killed two people and wounded 14 more before being shot to death by responding APD officers. It’s reported that a Quran was found in his car and the FBI is investigating the shooting as a possible terrorist response to the attacks on Iran.
Talarico issued a statement on X, above, which included . . .
But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we’re not willing to solve ourselves. … We must act.
His meaning was clear, though being the sniveling politician he is, he wasn’t willing to say it out loud at first during a heated campaign. Talarico was talking in code, calling for gun control in response to a mass shooting without using problematic phrases like ‘assault weapons ban,’ ‘red flag law’ or, you know, ‘gun control.’
It isn’t hard to see why the Howdy Doody-esque former seminarian felt the need to speak in hoplophobic tongues on the topic. Openly calling for gun control in Texas hasn’t worked out well for Democrats in the state, even in the aftermath of a high profile shooting (see: Beto O’Rourke).
It hasn’t gone well for Republicans either. One of the big reasons that incumbent John Cornyn has consistently trailed his ethically challenged primary opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton, in the polls is because of Cornyn’s successful push after Uvalde to enact the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. That was the first federal gun control law to pass in a generation. It was also a gift to Joe Biden and got Cornyn booed off the stage at the Texas GOP convention in 2022.
Texans — gun owners in particular — have never forgotten that.
Following that earlier statement, however, Talarico appeared on race hustler Al Sharpton’s little-watched weekend show and was more explicit. He seems to have decided to go all-in and got much closer to Beto’s “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47” proclamation in the video . . .
.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the “thoughts and prayers” rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation’s capital.
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical… pic.twitter.com/LeMOIGPjDo

The primary is Tuesday, and Talarico’s call for restricting gun rights will probably have next to zero bearing on how Democrats vote. But if he wins the primary, it could and should dog him all the way until November. We’ll be watching.
Terrorist attack: Two Dead in Texas as Muslim Migrant With Qur’an Shoots Up Bar, Cops Search for Motive (the above shooting). [jihad mass murderer, a Muslim migrant from Senegal named Ndiaga Diagne. See link. Also wearing sweat shirt with lettering ‘Property of Allah’ on it]
”
…
Whatever may be the case with his immigration status, when he went into Buford’s, Diagne was wearing a hoodie that said ‘Property of Allah.’ He had a copy of the Qur’an in his car. The Post also noted that he was ‘possibly out for vengeance over the US attack on Iran,’ for he was ‘possibly also wearing an undershirt featuring the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols.’

above seems coordinated with the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Pakistan by Pro-Khamenei factions…
Iran appointed a temporarily acting supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Arafeh. He too has been killed.
This is not a good time to be the supreme leader of Iran.
Iran’s military C&C has basically collapsed and their military if falling apart as so much of their command and headquarters are gone. the Iranian Foreign Minister basically said so him self in an interview, he said “our military units are now independent and somehow isolated”. Most of their Navy is sunk, and the U.S. Navy is moping up the rest, no more Iran air power to worry about. The Gulf Cooperation Council countries are united against Iran now because Iran attacked their countries too (targeting civilian targets) while striking back against Israel. Iran’s ace-in-the-hole partner Russia has said they will not come to the aid of Iran and has refused them any support or help and China is sitting it out too.
Correction: Iran has now lost its entire command and control structure, and their entire country top leadership is gone. Trump promised amnesty for Iran’s police and military if they just lay down their arms and quit, and it appears a lot are doing that and deserting but maybe they are just blending back in to re-group for whats left of them.
and now another successor to be acting supreme leader of Iran, Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been eliminated.
Whats left of a hastily put together group of regime remnants to form a ‘leadership’ was asking for talks with Trump that are suppose to take place either today or tomorrow, maybe, and some of those involved in recent contacts are “no longer alive’.
BREAKING: Trump announces Iran’s entire military command is gone, says terrorists have ‘waged war against civilization itself’
”
…
‘The entire military command is gone,’ Trump said in a Sunday afternoon video statement that provided an update on the operation. ‘And many of them want to surrender to save their lives. They want immunity. They’re calling by the thousands.’
…
Trump said combat operations are ongoing and will continue in full force until all ‘objectives’ are achieved. He also highlighted news earlier in the day that three US service members were killed in action. Trump said these ‘patriots’ made the ‘ultimate sacrifice,’ calling the Iran strikes a ‘righteous mission’ for which they gave their lives.
…
The president added that there will ‘likely be more’ US casualties as operations continue. He said the US military will ‘avenge their deaths’ and ‘deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists’ who have ‘waged war against civilization itself.’
In a plea to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and military policy, Trump urged fighters to lay down their arms, saying they would be granted ‘full immunity.’ Those who refuse, however, will face ‘certain death.’
‘It will be certain death. It won’t be pretty,’ Trump said.

BREAKING UPDATE: Austin mass shooter Ndiaga Diagne wore ‘Property of Allah’ hoodie, Iran flag shirt.
“The suspect in the mass shooting in downtown Austin on Sunday morning has been identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegal-born American citizen living in Pflugerville, Texas. The shooting is being investigated as ideologically-motivated.

The FBI had revealed earlier in the day that the shooting, which left three people dead, including the shooter and 14 injured, had a ‘potential nexus to terrorism,’ according to the FBI.
Acting special agent in charge for the FBI San Antonio Field Office, Alex Doran, revealed in a press conference that there are indications terrorism may have been involved in the attack.
