The Washington Post ran a terrifically encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Tulsi Gabbard sworn in as Trump’s director of national intelligence.”
Welp. There it is. It is Trump’s genius to nominate Cabinet heads who hate the agencies they have been appointed to re-engineer. Tulsi, for instance, was hounded by the deep state, who put her on the dreaded “Quad-S” travel list, which requires invasive (ahem) “enhanced” screenings and a mandatory DEI airport escort.
It means you have to get to the airport five hours before your flight for a painful, unnecessarily intimate, and socially awkward experience. They did it to her over and over. I’m sure she isn’t feeling resentful.
Why did they brand Tulsi with four scarlet S’s? National security, that’s why, so shut up. It’s classified! Need to know! Never mind! Follow the science!
The most explanation anyone has ever gotten is that it was because of Tulsi’s suspicious travel schedule. Yeah, okay. More likely, it’s because Ms. Gabbard knows all about the deep state’s biolabs in Ukraine and has chatted freely about them. Will she declassify the embarrassing biolab files? She’s got a lot of leverage. Maybe she should hold onto that leverage until the exact right moment when the pain would be greatest. Counter leaks.
Sigh. You’d think Democrats would be happy. Tulsi is not a Republican. She is a former Democrat and now an independent. And she wasn’t just any random Democrat. She was in leadership. In 2016, she resigned as vice chair of the Democrat National Committee — protesting its oleaginous treatment of socialist Bernie Sanders, and she promptly endorsed Bernie for president.
But she is a wrong thinking Democrat, mostly because she is a patriotic veteran.

The Deep Staters picked the wrong lady to try to sabotage. She may yet succeed in creating transparency where none has existed for decades.
At least a lot of rocks are going to get turned over.
See! “THEY” must have been correct about her being a threat. To “THEM”! 🤔😊👍
Trump often mentions “common sense” as his reasoning.
There were bad calls he made in staff selection during his first term as President. This time it is different, and since “they” tried 2 (+?) times to assassinate him it changed his attitude.
The world sees the change. And he is as popular in foreign nations as he is in the USA.
From your post-——!)
The US Federal Government is still operating as if the Great Depression, WW2 and the Cold War is still going on.
President Trump is a long over due corrective action to an atrophied archaic Government.
Just remember - the moment that Tulsi Gabbard, former vice chair of the Democrat Party, came out and spoke favorably about Trump - the deep-state put on a “no fly” and terrorist watch list.
She has no reason to be friends with these people.
I hope she goes “balls to the wall” on all of them!
Independent = Democrat light.
She looks hawt in uniform...
Well, better not to declassify EVERYTING!
There are some things which should be protected, mostly from foreigners, like China!
But, I see your point, classification was used as one of the tools to protect the Deep State secrets from us.
These should get some exposure.
Years ago, I prayed for “a little good news before things completely fall apart”. I thought 2016 was it, but wow. Just wow.
She’s too beautiful to be or remain a democrat.
The saying I keep thinking of these days came from General Yamamoto after Pearl Harbor:
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”
—The assassination attempt on President Trump
—The grooming of Elon Musk’s son by CA teachers
—The “no fly” orders for Tulsi Gabbard
The Democrats made it personal.
That is what is different this time.
When it is personal there is no compromise and there is no backing down...because there is “a terrible resolve”.
I would bet less than 1% of classified information is properly classified.
The other 99% is bureaucratic momentum or blatant covering up of waste, fraud, abuse and evil.
Two words: camel and toe.
Her greatest contribution will be to erase agenda from intelligence briefings.
No more using input from Maduro haters in Venezuela as the source of intelligence content. They claimed there were over 1 million in Caracas marching against Maduro. Satellite data was not relied on to confirm that.
No more using Ukraine intelligence sources to brief on Russian casualties. Satellite pics or it didn’t happen.
Same thing in Taiwan. No using Taiwan sources to declare how many Chinese troops are massed where. Satellite pics or it didn’t happen.
Bolton lied about N. Korea in the first Trump term to stop the march towards peace there. Agenda in intelligence briefings is the single greatest evil to be erased — by Gabbard.
Wrong
