"Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard left nothing off the table when she gave remarks to the audience at Turning Point USA. In a remarkable and very well delivered speech, Director Gabbard outlines in detail the biggest domestic and geopolitical challenges currently being faced by President Trump and his administration."

Underpinning her remarks is a refreshing focus on “freedom” versus the dark clouds of security threats drumbeat by those who seek control. Tulsi Gabbard accurately summarizes the importance of staying focused on liberty, while accepting the nature of the biggest threat to our core values, political Islam.
I am assuming “accepting the nature of our biggest threat” means know your enemy.
When discussing freedom and liberty we also need to discuss responsibility. Can’t have one without the other.
Maybe clarification is in the video which I have not watched yet.
I just knew former democrat Tulsi would be a great addition to the Trump cabinet.
Islam’s more a danger than China?
Couldn’t go with all the Erika Kirk love.
Tulsi’s smart and smooth, but I don’t trust her.
Why not?
RFK Jr., Elon Musk and even Donald Trump are all former Democrats.
You don't have to be a "Republican" to be MAGA.
Blaming EU and NATO for the war in Europe. Not Putin. Wake up, Europe. Wake up, Asia. You cannot depend on the U.S. Trump will sell you out the way he’s selling out Ukraine.
Most pols at that level are controlled actors in their roles anyway.
According to your statement, even Donald Trump is a "controlled actor".
I guess you’re not very observant if you think that’s news.

Tulsi for Veep?
As I see it, Tulsi Gabbard would be by far and away the best presidential candidate to succeed Pres. Trump. By the way, she is an Art. 2, §1, Cl.5 natural-born Citizen... I checked.
Explain.
Far from being presidential timber, as one poster as asserted on this thread, she has utterly disqualified herself from contributing to the security of the nation by this remark with this deranged allegation.
Sadly I see no reasonable alternative but to acknowledge your warning that we have sold out Ukraine and might well sellout Asia. The history of our duplicitous dealings with Ukraine, and the recent National Security Assessment together raise these troublesome issues that are no doubt already greatly troubling those who believed they were our allies in Asia.
Heh. That would be lol if it wasn’t so deadly serious.
Ironically, I just highlighted some nasty points in another thread moments ago.
True, regrettably. Sad that more don’t see it.
Are you going to ‘explain’? /s

“Tulsi’s smart and smooth, but I don’t trust her.”
I don’t trust you!

Your active was created August 2007 with one posting before Dec 2025 but has 50+ postings after Dec 19, 2025.
What are you guys up too?
One of the things I like the most about Free Republic is how open it is to everyone.
Unfortunately, threads can get polluted with non productive tit for tat.
Just don’t respond to anyone deliberately poking you to get a response. They are just injecting noise into the conversation.
