New study out by Smart Asset; What income is needed to support a stay at home mom? In Texas: $74,734.

We need to be having honest and open conversations with young men who want this lifestyle, what are you doing to achieve this level of income? And how can we help?

A 3rd Middleton mailer in my mailbox. Wow. Really blitzing the name ID. Although admittedly I think I am a R4 voter.

[Jake Thomas @TheJakeRT]

I’m going to post some of the political mailers I’ve received. Good for posterity purposes, and just overall intrigue.

First up, @mayes_middleton in the race for AG rocking the Trump endorsement.

[Jake Thomas @TheJakeRT]

And Another Middleton mailer! (I don’t check my mail too often…) this one rocking more of the group endorsements.

Foreign commercial drivers who do not speak or read English is unacceptable. This is common sense.

Thank you to state rep @wesvirdelltx

[Wes Virdell, TX State Rep @wesvirdelltx]

While I do moonlight as a legislator, I am also a diesel mechanic. I have been turning down non-english speaking drivers for years. I am glad other people are starting to get tired of it also. If you can't speak english, you shouldn't be operating an 80,000 lb tractor-trailer.

@SecretaryTurner I did inspections for housing authorities across the country for years.

So many public housing units and section 8 vouchers are taken up by non-citizens.

Keep up the great work Secretary!

[Jake Thomas @TheJakeRT]

Stopping illegal and slowing legal immigration will not only help the broader housing market due to less competition;

It will also free up public housing resources to actually help American citizens.

[Scott Turner @SecretaryTurner]

Years of reckless, open-border policies have pushed our housing market to its limit — it was not meant to withstand MILLIONS of illegal aliens flooding our country.

Deport the millions of illegals in our country, free up the housing market.

Texas built 16 percent of the country's new housing last year despite being home to 8 percent of its population. Proposed legislation would keep the construction boom going.

Going through an old bin that was in a garage for more than a decade at the moment. Run across this old fundraiser from Texans for Lawsuit reform from the Governor Bush era.

[Jake Thomas @TheJakeRT]

I’m gonna just reply to this with more old political stuff I find.
