Democrat Candidates Get Wackier by the Minute

Over the past year, scientists affiliated with the Nippon Foundation-Nekton Ocean Census report discovering more than 1,100 new species of marine life. Among them are the “Ghost Shark” Chimaera, two kinds of seaworms, and the Mediterranean Shrimp. Most of the new life-forms were found in remote, deep-sea locations miles below the surface.

I wonder if that is where the Democrat Party found some of its latest class of congressional candidates.

Over the past 20 years or so, we have become numb to the Democrats trotting out one bizarre candidate after another – such as the purple-haired Rosa DeLauro, who has been serving Connecticut’s 3rd congressional district since 1991. DeLauro also prefers to wear oversized green-neon glasses, making her look more like Bozo the Clown than a supposedly distinguished member of Congress.

Well, it looks like Rosa may have to share the limelight, because the Democratic class of 2026 is chockfull of crazies.

Exhibit #1 is James Talarico, the Texas state representative who is running for the U.S. Senate. Depending on the outcome of today’s Republican primary, he will either face incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November.

How clueless is Talarico? Despite God referring to Himself as “Father” more than 170 times in the Bible (160 times in the Gospels alone) – and there being close to 1,000 verses where God uses a masculine Greek noun as a direct reference to Himself – Talarico claims that God is “non-binary”.

“God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between,” Talarico said.

I guess you could excuse such gross ignorance from a common layman, but Talarico holds a Master of Divinity degree from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Likewise, Talarico asserts that there are more than two biological sexes. At a Texas state house committee hearing on a bill to ban biological men from competing in women’s sports, Talarico said the following…

“The one thing I want us to all be aware of is that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six… which honestly surprised me. The point is that biologically speaking, scientifically speaking, sex is a spectrum, and oftentimes can be very ambiguous.”

Huh?

Talarico defended his outlandish claims by feigning ignorance, saying that he is a politician and not a scientist. And yet, Talarico taught school for two years and holds a master’s in education policy from Harvard University, so you would think he would know better.

Exhibit #2 is Graham Platner, who is seeking the Democrat nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican incumbent Susan Collins of Maine. Platner, an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran, has a very controversial background, starting with the skull-and-bones tattoo on his chest called a Totenkopf, a symbol worn by the Nazi Schutzstaffel or SS, a paramilitary organization.

Over the years, Platner has described himself as a “communist”, “rabidly anti-Hillary”, and a "vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist". He once said that “all cops are bast**ds” and agreed with a post calling rural white Americans "racist and stupid". Platner also wants to abolish ICE and blames Israel for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Despite his radical and racist positions, Platner has been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren and is the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic primary on June 9th.

Exhibit #3 is Shelby Campbell, who is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan’s 13th congressional district… and she might be the looniest of the bunch, which is really saying something!

Campbell has built her campaign around a flood of self-produced videos that have now drawn millions of views from Americans who never heard of Michigan’s 13th District until recently. The content includes footage of her twerking, lip-syncing, and appearing in front of banners bearing the phrase “p—y power” and a flag displaying a marijuana leaf alongside a “sexual” sign.

“It’s our time: the wine-mom gang,” Campbell says in one video while dancing around in a big T-shirt and disheveled hair. “White ladies, I'm glad that we are becoming the enemy to the white man as well. I’m proud of you. Now, let’s get it, girls,” she adds.

In another video, Campbell mocks God by calling Him “Sky Daddy”.

“Sky Daddy, please, please save the children from being shot with guns.,” Campbell says on camera. “Not by reforming the laws, but just by praying to you. Please, Sky Daddy. Dumb. Idiotic.”

On her campaign website, Campbell’s biography includes the following self-description…

“I’m not here to pretend I’m perfect. I’m not here to smile in your face and stab you in the back later.” She also brags about having been to jail and mocks the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

And so, there you have it folks, the stars of the Democrat Class of 2026.
