Remember when the Biden regime and their intel lapdogs decided Tulsi Gabbard was such a threat to their agenda that they smeared her as a “Russian asset” and quietly slapped her on a terror watch list? ... Yeah. About that. Fast forward to today—and that same woman is now one of the most powerful, plugged-in voices in the country, with access to everything the corrupt left never wanted the public to see. Tulsi isn’t just speaking out… she’s ripping the lid off the entire operation. And she’s doing it with a level of calm precision that’s got regime bigwigs shaking...

“None of this would be possible without a complicit media that willingly participate in these info ops perpetrated by bad actors in the intelligence community.
