Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, March 16, 2026

News interview featuring Texas Democrat James Talarico, who argues that politicians are distracting voters with culture wars like pronouns and identity politics instead of addressing real economic issues like rising prices and the cost of living.

In the clip, Talarico explains why he believes many politicians focus on divisive cultural issues while Americans are struggling with gas prices, housing costs, healthcare, and the economic impact of the growing conflict in the Middle East.

They might have scrolled a Definition for Rwingers - "Pronouns are words like, "she, they, it"... but otherwise pretty spot on.

Talarico's quite gifted in articulating the causes of economic struggles for average Americans. Especially when many are working multiple jobs but watch their dollars getting stretched thinner and thinner in real time.

BTW, thanks for the vid on the Trident. Hope it makes the kind of difference the vid producer suggests it might.

Talarico is a good person.

He's got good ideals and values.

He speak the truth and in a manner which respects the people he's talking with.

I hope he does well.

If he can win Texas, he will one day make a good president.
