More Republican governors across the United States are publicly supporting President Joe Biden’s massive refugee resettlement operation out of Afghanistan which is set to bring at least 95,000 Afghans to the U.S. over the next year. Last week, the Biden administration announced that the first group of roughly 36,000 Afghans brought to the U.S. at rapid speed will be resettled across 46 states — including Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Multiple Indiana government agencies are involved in the conference pushing critical race theory, including state-funded universities.

...I would go even further. If states are allowed to arbitrarily and capriciously change voting procedures in such a way that the vote can be manipulated to produce a particular result, do those states even meet the Constitutional requirement of having a “republican form of government?” What has been sort of surprising to me is that folks on the right who I generally respect are now lining up to belittle the case. Some have even gone so far as to declare the case is ridiculous and that this is nothing more than Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton trolling for a...

Congressman John Joyce, representing the conservative 13th District of Pennsylvania, yesterday committed the ultimate act of treachery by joining Nancy Pelosi in voting to remove statues of Americans from the US Capitol. In one case, the bust of the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Roger Brooke Taney, will be replaced with one of leftist Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

My two favourite voices in modern American politics are those of Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan. Their profound commitment to peace inspires me. Tulsi Gabbard is just as good on that issue. (But she is too much of a big spender on other things for me. Generosity is great but balanced budgets sustain it better.) Why did the Democrats reject her? For an old guy who cant remember what state he is in? What is wrong with them? Happy Birthday, Tulsi. Peace.

“Gal Gadot’s Celeb-packed ‘Imagine’ Cover Spawns Outrage: Just call her Blunder Woman,” snarks the New York Post. “Gal Gadot’s attempt to cheer up coronavirus isolationists with a celeb-studded cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” backfired.. “We’re all in this together,” says the “Wonder Woman” star, 34, at the start of the viral video. The three-minute clip then cuts to a montage of Gadot, Mark Ruffalo, Will Ferrell and other Hollywood elites singing the lyrics of the late Beatle star’s opus, which envisions a world without strife.” “The actress Gal Gadot, on her sixth day of precautionary coronavirus self-isolation, orchestrated a line-for-line...

I was a big fan of Candidate Gabbard. She serves. She surfs. She is a good looking woman. (Do FReeepers find this offensive?) She stood up strong against unnecessary war like my political heroes Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan not to mention Ike, Reagan and Potus 45. She did not vote to impeach. She was a great guest on Tucker Carlson. What's not to like? (Her loyalty to Sanders must be admired as human loyalty but to his economics. I cant defend that.)

VIDEO Leftist voices have already weighed in on Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Joe Biden when she dropped out of the presidential race and they are far from happy with her. The reactions range from disgust to sadness and even to being resigned to Trump's ultimate victory in November. In fact, it is even starting to sound as if some among the left will be SUPPORTING Trump in the election since their other options have been closed off.

2016 Wikileaks Email Resurfaces Revealing John Podesta Was Mastermind Behind Tulsi Gabbard’s Congressional Win (this is the full title which was too long, so I shortened it) While many people love to bash Hillary and are so tired of the “Russia” insanity, others are cautioning the right not to get too “excited” defending Tulsi – especially those people on the right who are painting her as a “moderate” Democrat.

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard was taking questions from town hall attendees in New Hampshire on Thursday when a man in the crowd asked the Hawaii congresswoman and Iraq War veteran about former Vice President Joe Biden. "Former Vice President Biden has randomly challenged people in the audience to a push-up contest even if they're in walkers. Do you think you could take him?" a male attendee asked the candidate, according to video of the moment posted on Twitter. Gabbard replied, "My educated and informed guess would be yes ... But I would take most people to a push-up challenge."...

Seems like Democratic presidential candidate Tusli Gabbard is hoping the threat of war with Iran will move some campaign merch. Gabbard, a congresswoman from Hawaii, is hawking T-shirts reading, “NO WAR WITH IRAN” on her campaign website. “Say no to war with Iran!” the ad enthuses. “How many more American lives, how many more trillions of dollars will be wasted before we exit? “It could be now, or it could be 10 or 20 years from now, but there is no American victory. Let’s bring our troops home from Iraq and Syria now!”

Even though she continues campaigning for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, it is now clear to me that Tulsi Gabbard’s real goal has nothing to do with wining the donkeys’ nod this election cycle. Her vote of “present” on the House’s articles of impeachment ensures that she has no chance this time around, and now, in an interview with ABC News (video not yet available), she goes even further and tips her hand. Gabbard campaigning in New Hampshire yesterday, YouTube screen grab The Hill reports: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hi.), a 2020 presidential candidate, elaborated on her rationale for voting “present” on...

raqis are celebrating the death of Iran's elite Quds Force chief, General Qassem Soleimani, by "dancing in the street", said US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo while sharing a video of people holding a rally. In the 22-second video which Pompeo shared on Twitter, people are seen running on a road carrying a several meter-long Iraq national flag. The video is of some unspecified location in Iraq. This comes hours after the United States confirmed that Soleimani has been killed in a defence strike near Baghdad International Airport. "Iraqis -- Iraqis -- dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that...

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) made a glaring omission from its new ad campaign urging "unity" among 2020 candidates. A new fundraising effort launched on Monday for the DNC's "Democratic Unity Fund" features 10 presidential hopefuls taking turns reading the same message. "I'm running to be your nominee, but no matter who ends up on that stage as our nominee in the convention, we need the whole Democratic Party to unite if we want to take back the White House and win seats all across the country and deliver a presidency consistent with our Democratic values," the candidates told viewers....

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says foreign policy is domestic policy. For instance, the Democratic presidential candidate says pulling troops out of Afghanistan would free up funds for domestic needs. “We are continuing to spend $4 billion a month when we have so many needs in our community right here at home that are not being addressed because we’re told time and time again there’s just not enough money,” Gabbard said. The Hawaii Democrat held a roundtable discussion with several local citizens about various topics of concern on Friday afternoon in downtown Orangeburg. Gabbard stated that health care, affordable housing and education...

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain commended Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, on Thursday as the congresswoman faced criticism over her decision to vote "present" on impeaching President Trump. "I was watching the impeachment process when I got home last night and I too would not have voted for it," McCain said. "And I actually think Tulsi Gabbard has absolute balls of steel to vote present because that's what I would have done if I were her as well." Gabbard skipped the procedural votes in the morning and just as the first vote on impeachment for abuse of power was winding down,...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard for being the only House Democrat to vote “present” on impeachment articles against President Trump and refusing to take a stand. “Today was very consequential, and to not take a stand one way or another, on a day of such great consequence to this country, I think is quite difficult,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters after the historic vote Wednesday, adding, “We are sent here to lead.” Rep. Gabbard (D-Hawaii) did not speak on the House floor, while most other members gave 30-second to one-minute speeches to explain or justify their stances....

For only the third time in U.S. history, the House of Representatives has impeached a sitting president. On Wednesday, the House voted almost entirely along party lines to pass two articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his attempts to get Ukraine to investigate a political rival. Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was one of the few Democratic holdouts — the only one to just vote “present.” Two Democrats voted no on the abuse of power article and three opposed the obstruction of Congress charge. “After doing my due diligence in reviewing...

The Hawaii Democrat and presidential candidate, one of the last members of her party to come out in support of the impeachment inquiry, voted “present” for the two votes on the articles of impeachment against Trump and was nowhere to be found during four procedural votes on Wednesday morning or during the six hours of scheduled debate over the articles. In a statement released after she voted “present” on both articles, Gabbard said that because she “could not in good conscience vote either yes or no... I am standing in the center and have decided to vote ‘Present.’”

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is calling for President Donald Trump's censure on the eve a full House vote Wednesday on the articles of impeachment. The resolution, slated to be introduced Tuesday afternoon, suggests that the president put personal political gain over national interest. Gabbard has said she remains undecided on impeachment. "I'm taking this time for myself to be able to review everything that's happened all the information that's been put forward," Gabbard told a crowd at Furman University. "And just all the factors that go into really trying to figure out what what is the best action to take...
