Observing the republic, exposing hypocrisy, analyzing claims one cigar at a time.

@KarlTay05379376 @FoxNews You’re conflating criminal prosecution standards with operational use-of-force standards during maritime interdiction. The word “suspect” in a headline does not automatically mean force was unlawful.

[Bearded Republic @BeardedRepublic]

@harshcritic1985 @FoxNews You’re conflating criminal prosecution with operational use of force. A suspect is not immune from use of force during an active interdiction. The only question is whether the engagement was lawful and justified under the circumstances. Lethal force is not automatically unlawful.

@FoxNews She has previously argued that gas prices are driven by global oil markets and geopolitical events, regardless of who is in office.

If that principle holds, attributing price increases to a single president is a shift from a structural explanation to a political one.

“We’ve run 50–60 MILLION voter records and found HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who should not be on the rolls—dead voters, movers, duplicates, even non-citizens. This is not ‘a conspiracy theory.’ It’s data.” @HarmeetKDhillon

This is exactly why Cause of America was founded: corrupt voter rolls + mass mail ballots + no real ID checks = a system BUILT for abuse.

We don’t fix this with press releases. We fix it with citizen-led canvassing, list cleanup, and lawfare in every corrupt county in America. Join us in the fight. https://t.co/weVnSJlLbW

@jaja_007_7 @libsoftiktok Acknowledging historical injustices doesn’t resolve the standard being used. If past conquest invalidates current ownership, that principle applies globally. The question is what consistent standard governs ownership today, not selectively applying it.

[Bearded Republic @BeardedRepublic]

@jaja_007_7 @libsoftiktok The stolen land claim assumes there is a clear starting point where land ownership became legitimate. History doesn’t support that. Nearly all land has changed hands repeatedly. If past conquest invalidates ownership, that standard applies globally, not selectively.

@Scout_503 @cinsan312 @HawksWing_14 @GuntherEagleman I get it but you’re moving from “this conflict is difficult and long-term” to “therefore intervention is a mistake and we should leave.” That conclusion doesn’t automatically follow. Many military strategies are based on containment and deterrence, not surrender.

Democrat Sen. Fetterman calls out California Governor Newsom for his attacks on Independent Journalist Nick Shirley for uncovering fraud:

“Shouldn’t we agree — eliminate all the waste?… Why can’t you celebrate any journalist or activist doing that?”

BREAKING NEWS: Elon Musk is offering to pay the salaries of TSA workers during the government funding standoff. The tech mogul said the funding impasse "is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country."

MORE THAN TRIPLED: New York City is now shelling out $81,700 per person in homelessness spending, passing the city's median income as the unsheltered population continues to soar, according to a state comptroller’s report.

The city's own numbers show the current homeless population grew 26% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019, while spending on services for the unsheltered jumped 262%, from $102 million to nearly $368 million in the same period.

ANTIFA ON TRIAL: Nine convicted in North Texas ICE facility attack, with Benjamin Song found guilty of attempted murder for shooting a police lieutenant. Eight others convicted of providing material support to terrorists. FBI Director Kash Patel: 'If you attack federal law enforcement this FBI will hunt you down.' https://t.co/nNzQrOPD2P

[Grok @grok]

Sentencing is pending before Judge Mark Pittman (expected in June).

Benjamin Song (the shooter): convicted on attempted murder + firearm discharge + others; faces 20 years to life.
The other 8: mostly rioting, material support to terrorists, explosives conspiracy/use; 10-60 years max (one up to 40).

With stacked federal counts, terrorism enhancements, and violence vs. officers, expect all to get 15-40+ years (Song likely life or close). Precedent is set—long terms incoming for accountability.

🚨 BREAKING: ALL NINE members of an Antifa cell in TX have just been found GUILTY of TERRORISM charges brought by the DOJ, per @MrAndyNgo

This is HUGE, as it's the first terrorism trial against Antifa members in US history!

A precedent has been SET 🔥

The terrorists AMBUSHED ICE agents at their detention center in Alvarado, TX, shooting one of them in the neck, back in July 2025.

Pure TERRORISM. And the FBI, DOJ, and a federal jury of 12 all agreed.

"First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas," @FBIDirectorKash said after their arrests

Jurors found the defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to use/carry explosives, and using/carrying explosives.

Many of them will now rot in prison.

MUCH deserved. We need MORE of this! Well done, @AGPamBondi 👏🏻

These Pew 2025 numbers (White 85%, Latino 82%, Black 76% favoring photo ID to vote) match CNN's presentation and align with Gallup's 84% overall support. Broader Pew data shows at least 70% across all racial groups. The poll's accuracy isn't widely debated—criticism focuses more on policy opposition than the data. Consistent results across sources confirm strong cross-demographic backing.

REMINDER: Americans support Voter ID regardless of race:

Black Voters: 76%
White voters: 85%
Latino voters: 82%

@GavinNewsom @dpakman The current annual inflation rate in the United States is 2.4% for the 12 months ending February 2026, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released on March 11, 2026.

@snorman1776 @illyahkuryahkin @MAGAProud1980 @Milajoy @HalFurman The federal government never imposed a national lockdown in the U.S.

Government powers did not extend to shutting down states or private businesses nationwide.

By April 2020, over 40 states had some form of governor-issued stay-at-home order.
