RE: Data Republican I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well. But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman. You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you. For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly "independent" organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside--genuine public interest be damned. This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected. These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness. Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible. It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST. You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under. And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR. I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall. For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding. An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear. But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out. Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense." If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them. This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President. Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is. I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that. One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

Convention of States Is The Way
Chapter and verse.
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

It's not just a Democrat problem either... The current longest serving member of Congress is Chuck Grassley, he's been in Congress for 50 years. Yes, 50. Term limits exist for the President because the Founders feared concentrated, unchecked power. No one person should be able to dig in so deep that they become impossible to remove. Congress should be held to the same standard... but somehow, we've let these people turn public service into a lifetime appointment. Insane.

@mattvanswol @data_republican @C_3C_3 ..of states process in Article V. Convention of States Action’s Article V resolution allows states to propose constitutional amendments that: limit the size scope and jurisdiction of the federal government, discuss term limits for federal officials and restore fiscal restraints.

@mattvanswol @data_republican @C_3C_3 ..that removes the motivation to spend decades in DC. The Constitution gives the federal government 17 specific, enumerated powers. Congress will never act to restrain its authority or limit their terms. The Framers gave the states the ability to act through the convention..2/3
