Can we call Democrat Maureen Galindo a Nazi yet?
I’m just “asking questions.”
But the question originates with this news about Galindo, running for Congress is Texas’ 35th District, and the current Democrat frontrunner although she faces a runnoff:
Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.”
“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
As you might expect, Galindo accuses her opponent in the runoff, Johnny Garcia, “of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire zionist Jews. She also pledged during a Texas Public Radio interview to put Garcia on trial for treason.”
Well, of course she has. In addition, she claims – another common defense of those promoting this sort of approach – that she’s not an antisemite, and she doesn’t hate Jews, just is against “Zionists.” Funny thing, that’s a group which happens to include a great many Jews (and others) who support the only country in the world that is the historical and ancestral (and Biblical) Jewish homeland, a tiny tiny country that was formed legally by UN partition of former colonial possessions and has had to fight for its existence every step of the way against vicious enemies that would obliterate it.
Maureen Galindo received 29.2% of the Democrat votes in her primary, to Garcia’s 27%. Two other candidates received 20% or more, so the race was split four ways relatively evenly. Nevertheless, that Galindo is the frontrunner is very disturbing. Whether you care about Israel or not, her “solution” is astoundingly alarming.
Galindo is so exceedingly extreme that even Democrats have condemned her – for now, when the district still has other viable Democrat candidates that could be the nominee. Democrat leadership would prefer that one of her Democrat opponents wins, because otherwise not only might Galindo lose the election to the Republican, but she would become the poster child for Democrat Jew-hatred. But I wonder if, in the event that she wins the runoff and becomes the Democrat nominee, whether they will rally behind her as they have with the abominable Platner.
I think I know the answer.
NOTE: It’s not easy to find a lot of background on Galindo, but I did locate this:
Maureen Galindo, 38, is a marriage and family therapist who has a master’s in community psychology from Concordia University in Portland, Ore. She’s also a housing advocate who fought the razing of her old downtown apartment complex to build a baseball stadium, and ran unsuccessfully for City Council in 2025.
I’ve also read elsewhere that she’s a sex therapist. At any rate, she’s young (as expected), but her degree – “community psychology” – is in a field with which I’m unfamiliar, although I do know a lot about degrees in the general area of psychology and specifically marriage and family therapy. Turns out that, curiously enough, “community psychology” doesn’t seem to be a clinical degree so I don’t see how it would ordinarily qualify a person to be a therapist, and it’s basically a leftist thing (no surprise there either), a sort of glorified community organizer:
Community psychology goes beyond an individual focus and integrates social, cultural, economic, political, environmental, and international influences to promote positive change, health, and empowerment at individual and systemic levels.
Depending on one’s training, experiences, and preferences, community psychologists can work as educators, professors, program directors, consultants, policy developers, evaluators, and researchers in community organizations, universities, or government agencies to promote mental health and community well-being. …
We seek to expand “helping” beyond traditional psychotherapy to promote wellness.
We engage in action-oriented research to develop, implement, and evaluate programs.
We base our work on a scientific foundation to better understand the multiple influences of the social environment on health and wellness
We build collaborative relationships with community members, groups, and organizations to solve social problems.
We consult with and provide tools to organizations to build capacity to address social problems such as exploitation and victimization.
We analyze government, civic life, and workplace settings in order to understand and improve fair and diverse participation.
We fight oppression, work to reduce social inequalities, and work with marginalized people toward their empowerment.
.
This article also adds a bit of background to Galindo’s views on Israel and Jews. Although it’s written by someone who is not especially happy with Israel, it nevertheless recognizes how far Galindo goes towards Jew-hating. She seems to be somewhat in the Candace Owens mode:
Galindo often gestures toward a conspiracy theory, common in the Nation of Islam, that the people who identify as Jews today are not the Jews of the Bible but impostors. In response to two questions I emailed her, she pointed me to Revelation 3:9: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie.” In Congress, she said, she would write legislation decreeing “that any support of Zionism is antisemitic, since it’s the Zionists literally killing the Semites of the Middle East.”
Tucker Carlson also leans towards that notion. It’s the reason he suggested, in the course of his Huckabee interview, that the Jews of Israel should be DNA-tested to see if they’re actually descended from Abraham. I wonder where he intends to get Abraham’s DNA for comparison.
I am reminded of my yellow-dog Democrat cousin artist in NYC who supports Israel but also claims that anti-Semitism is equally spread among Republicans and Democrats.
I’m sure she can find Republican candidates for Congress who have SS tattoos or say that Zionists should be put into concentration camps. 🙂
Tucker got that DNA from the demon, no doubt, unquestionablly. Or not.
Demon-crats they have become.
Just a note on getting a “community psychology” degree in order to become a therapist (and ignoring the grotesque facts of the full post): One of the most common paths to becoming a licensed therapist is getting a master’s degree in social work. You still need a certain number of hours of supervised clinical practice, but it’s a much faster route than getting a PhD or PsyD (which few therapists seem to bother with anymore).
My goodness, Texas Politics is a Blood Sport, for sure this time around. My prediction is that Galindo will be just as successful as Beto, but what do I know, I live just North of her district in a Conservative area of Texas. Her district is a strange shaped mess of land that takes in part of San Antonio and part of Austin however, a few years ago the majority went for Trump in the Presidential election.
At this time she is just one more Whack a Doodle, pinned up on the dart board, I would not say she will be easy to defeat however I think she is more fun stuff to talk about than a true threat. Our pre-election sites opened yesterday and tomorrow I will hold my nose and go vote for the critters I dislike the least which is the way I usually vote here in Texas.
Anyway, Never Mind . . .. . … . ..
Demon posession something like the evil dead after reading the book of the dead

Skippy o rourke the son of a chicago developer who seems to have shaped himself into an adopted kennedy initially kept his craziness under wraps
But eventually the shell of sanity fell away
I have no connection to Texas campaigning, so maybe someone can help here. Did any of the non-Galindo voters or candidates directly address the camp-and-castrate issue or was it a non-starter?
If not, why not?
In the Sixties, at Michigan State, I worked in a field project with a Jewish guy from Corsicana. He said that, as Jews, his family had had some troubles. Nevertheless, he returned and, as far as I can tell, is doing well in business and in the community and in Jewish affairs. To the extent that area resembles some of the district Galindo won for the dems, how many Jews could be expected to live there? And is Corsicana anything like that district?
Robert o rourke is as fake as a three dollar bill, but his credentials and his apparently initial bouts of sanity seemed to keep him in good stead as a congressman from el paso
The he heard the siren call of msnbc and vsnity fair and like gollum reverted to his true self
Well its more comedy than tragedy although his performance after 2021 had a touch of bathos
My neo-Nazi surfing buddy explained to me that the White Race was really the Chosen People of the Bible. Current Jews are satanic imposters.
Apparently this goes back to British Israelism (late 1800s), which claims that Northern Europeans, especially those of the British Isles, are descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism
In 20th C America this belief became part of the Christian Identity movement, to which my friend was allied.
Richard Aubrey, as I am a goy in Texas, I cannot speak from experience, but I can tell a story. A Jewish friend is the product of a Texan Wasp father and Sephardic Jewish mother from Morocco. They met when he was stationed in the Navy in Morocco.
My friend told me that her TX grandmother had a poor opinion of Jews—until she met the Jewish mother of her grandchildren. After that they had the best of daughter-in-law & mother-in-law relationships. I certainly heard my friend’s mother speak fondly of her mother-in-law.
When my friend’s mother arrived in Texas from Morocco, when Jim Crow was still extant, she was told to sit in the back of the bus. Her mother-in-law set matters straight with the bus driver.

Wish I had seen that.
huxley:
Yes, it’s quite common. The Black Hebrew Israelites – remember them? – who were taunting Nick Sandmann – believe they are the true Jews and the Jews are impostors. As I said, Owens and Carlson believe the Jews are not real Jews. For the Christians (or so-called Christians) like Owens and Carlson who believe it, they are citing it because they want to negate the Biblical prophecy that the Jews will return to Israel some day and fulfill the original covenant which was never broken. They want to say it was broken and that Christians have replaced them in terms of the covenant. Now that the Jews have returned, they have to be discounted as not real Jews, so they supposedly aren’t fulfilling the prophecy. So they’re fakes. That’s why Owens uses the “synagogue of Satan” terminology. It’s from Revelation 3:9: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie — behold, I will make them to come and worship at thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” That verse is actually about something else, but the current Jew-haters use it for discounting the current Jews in Israel.
It’s complicated. At some point I may write a post about it.

I once managed to download a video copy of my friend being interviewed by a Christian Identity organization in 1983.
I know that I am an Israelite called to the Most High.
It broke my heart.
If you are ever interested in that as a historical document, I will send it to you.
I hadn’t thought of Herbert W Armstrong in quite awhile…but there you are. One of the interesting British Israelitism wackos whom I have encountered.
@ Neo > “[Tucker Carlson said] that the Jews of Israel should be DNA-tested to see if they’re actually descended from Abraham. I wonder where he intends to get Abraham’s DNA for comparison.”
Well, they have identified one line of Abraham’s descendants fairly conclusively.
Quick summary & bottom line:

LOTS of details.

Not seeing how the Black or British “Israelites” get on this train.
The theological question of Christians “replacing” Jews, spiritually or literally, as the Chosen People of God is a topic altogether different from that of finding lineal descent from Israelite ancestors. Neo’s link was quite helpful.
Question: If everyone hates the Jews so much, why are there two groups competing to be identified as Jews?
Camps for Jews? Castration?
Well, a bit harsh, perhaps; but one could make a case for it—an imperfect understanding of eugenics, say… (Eugenics for Dummies?)
BUT opposing a baseball stadium?
In Texas??
Holy longhorn, that woman has definite issues. Maybe she can self-analyze, save herself a bundle…

Huxley, sounds like your friend may well be a member of one of them ten lost tribes. Well, definitely lost…

AF, not sure yer supposed to ask questions like that…
In any event, anyone can decide to join the club, that is if they’re committed enough (and, though this isn’t at all new, one can even shop around).
So it’s not really, in theory at least, a question of genetics, though the genetics, in fact, now that they can be checked out, are definitely a thing.

Seems related to what I discussed here: The Phobia(s) That Are Destroying America

I went to vote yesterday, at the public library just around the corner from my neighborhood. Early voting in Texas is this week. There were a couple of volunteer campaigners for various candidates set up in the parking lot: one of them was for Galindo – a pop-up pavilion, slathered with posters for Galindo and a couple of volunteers. I already knew about Galindo’s social media post, but because I am a f%$#king lady, I refrained from flipping them the bird as I went past.
I’ve waited for years to vote for John Cornyn’s Rep opponent in a primary, and was very happy to vote for Paxton.
It’s not the Isralites,rather it’s the Disraeli’s!

I’ve seen this coming for decades. When I moved to San Francisco at the age of 20 in the early 70s I was a hippie peacenik. Within a decade I began to smell the antisemitism of the San Francisco left. At the time I was still voting lib Democrat and dismissed it as an outlier – I knew that SF was way to the left of the country and didn’t associate it with the mainstream national party. It did disabuse me though of the notion that Jew-hatred was mostly a phenomenon of the right and paved the way for my later political change, which took place for many other reasons but this was a key enabler. I think unfortunately the persistence of leftist politics among American Jews is due to this misconception (antisemitism == right wing) though by now it takes a huge dose of denial to still believe it.
@ FOAF > “though by now it takes a huge dose of denial to still believe it.”
Not throwing any stones at individuals today, but these are the descendants of the bunch who were led out of Egypt with a show of miracles, one after another, unsurpassed even in pagan myths, who still kvetched about the food and built a golden calf to worship.

Yes, I noticed that in 80s Berkeley. It worried me.
There are a number of reasons posited for Jew-ate. Sowell’s “minority middleman” is a distinct ethnic group which is the face of the larger economy which wants everybody’s money. Any group in that slot–Chinese in Southeast Asia, Indians in east Africa, Jews in the west, will be resented.
In “why the jews”, Prager and Telushkin suggest that the Jews are better at sticking to the Ten Commandments than their surrounding society(ies) and , “stick together” and all the other things and are resented for that reason. Plus they have money, or at least those who have money have money. Those who don’t aren’t visible or something.
How about this? if you hate Israel as you do the US because you hate western liberal, free, democracies which defend themselves against totalitarians who have good marketing, then you must hate Jews, since they’re all over Israel. You could look it up. And thus, Jews anyplace else, including here.
Just “asking questions ” seems to be an iffy enterprise these days.

AesopFan asked the very same question that has been resounding in my brain: If they hate the Jews so much, why do they want to claim their identity? “They’re not real Jews; WE’RE the real Jews!” seems like psychotic thinking. I suppose everybody wants to be “chosen,” like siblings squabbling over a parent’s affections. Fratricide often results although parricide is certainly not to be ruled out. If you want a Biblical prototype of this phenomenon, read Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son, but read it all the way through. After the father and prodigal are reunited, the faithful son becomes jealous and complains and is corrected by the father who reminds him that he has been in the father’s house all along and “everything I have is yours.” Unfortunately, Jesus stops there and never tells us whether the faithful son realizes that he has misjudged the situation, allowing us to come to our own conclusion. I suppose it is inherent in our fallen human nature to want to be the sole heir of one’s father’s estate rather than to share it with one’s siblings, never once stopping to realize that there is no limit to the bounty available in The Father’s house.
Boy, that community psychology is a lot of bafflegab.
