GOP Rep Promised He Wouldn't Side with Dems. Then He Did. Now He's Getting Primaried.
While political pundits focus on fundraising numbers and endorsement tallies, Daniel Miller reveals the real story behind one of Texas's most important primary battles. Jon Bouche isn't just another candidate challenging an incumbent - he's the grassroots leader who already took down the Texas political establishment once and won.Miller sits down with Bouche to discuss his upcoming challenge to Will Metcalf in House District 16. But this race represents something much bigger than one legislative seat. Bouche led the successful grassroots takeover of Montgomery County's Republican Party, defeating a 90-year-old chairman who'd been in power for 55 years and taking on Karl Rove, John Cornyn, and Kevin Brady in the process.Now Bouche is targeting Metcalf, one of the 26 Republicans who broke quorum to prevent David Cook from becoming speaker, then voted with Democrats to install Dustin Burrows instead. After promising Bouche face-to-face that he wouldn't do exactly that.Bouche explains how Montgomery County went from 70% to 89% Republican under grassroots leadership, why the Speaker of the House is actually the most powerful politician in Texas, and his plan to reform the Texas House rules that give establishment speakers dictatorial power over conservative legislation.As a Texas First Pledge signer, Bouche represents the kind of authentic conservative leadership needed to build toward independence. His campaign has over 100 unique donors and endorsements from across the state - proving that Texas voters are hungry for representatives who fight the establishment instead of serving it.This is the comprehensive analysis missing from mainstream coverage of Texas primaries - connecting local grassroots victories to the bigger fight for Texas sovereignty.Campaign website: BoucheForTexas.com🔔 Subscribe for grassroots candidate analysis missing elsewhere🌐 Learn more at: https://tnm.me📰 Read more at: https://texianpartisan.com📱 Join TNM Social: https://tnm.socialTopics Covered:- How grassroots conservatives conquered Montgomery County GOP- Taking on Karl Rove, Cornyn, and the establishment machine- Why Will Metcalf broke his promise and sided with Democrats- The Speaker's dictatorial power over Texas House rules- How Metcalf blocked grassroots Republicans from the Capitol gallery- Building authentic conservative coalitions vs establishment politics- Texas First Pledge commitment to independence referendum- Reforming Texas House to serve people instead of special interests#TexasPolitics #GrassrootsConservative #TexasFirst #HD16 #MontgomeryCounty #PrimaryChallenge #TexasHouse #EstablishmentVsGrassroots

THIS Is How We Take Texas Back
While most people complain about politicians who break promises and sell out their constituents, Daniel Miller reveals the TNM's plan to actually do something about it. The Texas Nationalist Movement has launched "Texan Arise" - a statewide training campaign to turn regular Texans into effective campaign volunteers.
Miller sits down with TNM Executive Vice President Nate Smith and Chief of Staff Daphne Armour to discuss why this campaign could change Texas politics. They've identified a critical gap: great candidates keep losing because they lack volunteer support while establishment incumbents have built-in advantages in both money and manpower.
The Texan Arise workshops target people with little to no campaign experience, teaching practical skills like phone banking, block walking, voter contact, and using technology effectively. The goal isn't just to help individual candidates - it's to build the volunteer network needed to elect Texas First Pledge signers who will support independence legislation.
Smith and Armour explain how even small increases in principled legislators can make a big difference, why primary elections matter more than general elections in Texas, and how their target of 1,000 trained volunteers could tip the balance in key races across the state.
The workshops are free, three hours long, and starting in major Texas cities along I-35 plus East Texas. This represents the TNM's most ambitious ground-game strategy yet - recognizing that political change requires more than just good candidates, it requires organized grassroots support.
For those frustrated with Austin's dysfunction, this provides a concrete way to make a difference instead of just complaining online.

The New Mexico Hearing Is a TEXIT Opening
Published 24 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Not a debate, just no hearing at all. The people never got their day to be heard, right? not just at the ballot box, but even in the committee room. You know, the working position of the Texas House was that whether Texans get to decide who governs them is simply not a thing this legislature discusses. Well, on the 30th of this month, a committee of the Texas House is going to sit down in a hearing room in Austin and discuss whether a group of people, not you, right, who are unhappy with the government they live under ought to be able to do something about it. And if you read the posted scope, right, it's the thing that really, really matters and why this is important to me and why it should be important to anyone who supports Texas independence. […]
