Details About This Blog Project

I want to point out a few things about this blog that will clarify what exactly we want to do. We're just another voice among Texans who want to comment on the goings on of this state, because we don't know what the pulse is like here, since it's all muddled up with rhetoric and politics.

Obviously there are other things going on that are of interest but we have the mid-terms this year and we're definitely in dire need of some change that keeps up with the changes going on in the mindset of a new generation. I don't know that we have enough coverage here that makes this as simple and cohesive as they should be. Every thing's divided up.

I'm interested in my state and the people in it and I want to contribute to the best of my ability, that's why I want to tell you about this plan I've got.

How I Fund This Blog

I spend a lot of time writing about all the things that interest me and I'm passionate about each and every one of them. The problem is that I have a lot of interests over many many subjects, and I spent all day and every day researching, reading and writing about all of these passions.

Just like the consensus in this state, I divide up my writing and put them into different blogs, which are funded by advertisers. I get a piece of that depending on the traffic I earn. This is so that I can fund little projects like this blog, which we're at the beginning of.

Being that this has largely been a conservative state, they'd be happy to know that this is a Texan who walks by the pulling of boot straps. So when you see links posted to other posts elsewhere, those posts fund Survival Journalism.

I'm pretty sure you agree that there's a lot of wacky shit going on for these mid-terms right now, stuff I want to talk about and good people that I want to focus on. In the next couple of months come hell or high water, I'm gonna start a podcast as a forum where we can all talk more about these things so we can see and show people what Texas is really like.

Affordable Care Act Repeal Delay Hides GOP 'Martial Law' Effort to Pass

Embed from Getty Images After seven years of Republicans trying to defeat the Affordable Care Act , their opportunity to immediately repeal the law was delayed by their own faction of right-wing extremists within their own body on Thursday. According to The Washington Post -- one of many media outlets reporting from Capitol Hill -- delaying the repeal of the Affordable Care Act was a confrontation that Republicans made by themselves. Those extremist right-wing elements in the party reportedly feel pressured by their constituents to cut a better deal. But it's not very clear to many Americans that with Republicans messing with the Affordable Care Act, that they're going to help "improve" it. The Post's report on the "embarrassment" says that earlier in the week, House leaders were making some last minute adjustments to pass the bill, but they weren't adjustments that would improve the bill itself but rather to improve ways they c

Watch As I Enroll For Healthcare At The Last Minute

Okay. I'm sitting down right now and it's 4:06 pm. Enrollment ends tonight at 11:00pm CST. Let's do this. 1. So here I am. I need to see the plans. I've done this only a few times before over the last few months without all the information I needed. Now that I have it, let's see how far it goes.  2. Just showing you the Texas thing...  3. Yep. Nothing. No big whoop, not stressing about it either. On a blogger's salary, I don't expect much. Still haven't done my taxes, which is on the list with this sign up. Just gonna wait for the email alert. I'm phoneless right now (blogger's salary).

"Texas Libertarian Candidate & Texas Immigration Reform"

After the historic shut down that recently took place, all of the talking heads started predicting the next stand-off. What's the next legislative 'obstacle course' these politicians are gonna drag us through now? Everyone weighed in that it would be immigration. As predicted -- it's the 'bitch of the bunch'. It looks like the Democrats want to vote on immigration reform before the end of the year, but again, Republicans want to 'walk' the process by enforcing different parts of a separate bill piece-by-piece while the Democrats wants pass their entire chunk. As of this writing, three Republicans have sided with the Democrats. Obviously, Texas being a border state is definitely making this the main topic for the upcoming election and everyone's moving quickly to fight against or for immigration reform. One group of activists referred to as Stop The Magnet (STM) have been busy demanding that the law be enforced to keep '
