Senate Democrats are secretly sabotaging Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation by claiming she has not provided enough “vetting materials.” Axios reported: Senate Democrats are forcing a delay in Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing next week, claiming she hasn’t provided required vetting materials — while Republicans accuse them of playing games, Axios has learned. Why it matters: It’s the first taste of what’s expected to be a drama-filled few weeks as the Senate takes up some of President-elect Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks

The only man to lead both the FBI and the CIA urged caution to senators who might vote to confirm former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and Kash Patel to lead the FBI, according to a letter sent to senators this week. "I am deeply concerned about the potential nominations of Mr. Kash Patel to lead the FBI and the inclusion of Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as DNI in intelligence roles," William Webster, who led the FBI during the Carter and Reagan administrations and the CIA after that, said in a letter to senators on Thursday. Webster...

Another letter has magically appeared, signed by 100 former intelligence and national security officials, warning about Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination: Nearly 100 former national security officials 'alarmed' at prospect of Gabbard leading intel communityNearly 100 former national security officials signed a letter criticizing President-elect Donald Trump's decision to nominate former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence and called for closed-door Senate hearings to review any government information about her.

Senate GOP hawks who receive large sums from the defense industry could be mobilizing to tank one of President-elect Donald Trump’s national security nominees. Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Trump to helm the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, could face opposition from Senate Republicans with hawkish views on national security over her beliefs on Ukraine and government surveillance powers. Though a considerable number of Trump-aligned senators have endorsed Gabbard, citing her decades-long military service and commitment to reforming the country’s intelligence agencies that have been frequently weaponized against the president-elect, GOP senators whose national security...

Since becoming President-elect Donald Trump's choice for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard's rosy posture toward Moscow has prompted some Democratic critics to suggest that she could be "compromised," or perhaps even a "Russian asset" -- claims the ex-Hawaii representative and Army officer has forcefully denied. But former advisers to Gabbard suggest that her views on Russia and its polarizing leader, Vladimir Putin, have been shaped not by some covert intelligence recruitment as far as they know -- but instead by her unorthodox media consumption habits. Three former aides said Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, regularly read...

I was wondering if the RINOs decided to gang up and not vote for the more important Trump supported Cabinet choices, what remedy could he have to keep those selections in charge. Could he leave the slot open and announce his nominee is now a Special Advisor to him in charge of that department? Are there technical issues with that? I'd rather leave a bunch of open vacancies than give in to the Establishment scum. Would be enlightening to see if government works just as fine, and it would feed into the DOGE approach if little effect is seen.

Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was “compromised.” Host Dana Bash said, “Let’s turn to former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who the president elect tapped to serve as Director of National Intelligence. She’s a critic of U.S. intelligence operations. She has promoted Russian propaganda. Your fellow Democrat, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, called her, ‘likely a Russian asset.’ Now, you and Tulsi Gabbard are both veterans. You served with her in the House what do you think of her?”

Donald Trump Jr. has mocked Nikki Haley after she criticized his father's choice of former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be the next director of national intelligence. The eldest son of President-elect Donald Trump called out Haley, the former ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, for comments she made on her SiriusXM show, accusing Gabbard of being a "Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer." Haley listed several reasons why she does not believe Gabbard is suitable for the position. These include allegations that Gabbard spread Russian propaganda, spoke out against issuing sanctions against Iran, and expressed skepticism that...

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley raised major concerns with President-elect Trump’s decision to appoint former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to his Cabinet. Haley criticized both picks on SiriusXM’s “Nikki Haley Live.” She condemned Gabbard’s comments on Russia’s war on Ukraine and her support of a pardon for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. intelligence. “After Russia invaded Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard literally blamed NATO, our Western alliance that’s responsible for countering Russia,” Haley said. “She blamed NATO for the attack on Ukraine, and the Russians and the Chinese echoed her talking points and her interviews on Russian...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard is “someone who is likely a Russian asset,” and “considered to be, essentially, by most assessments, a Russian asset.” Wasserman Schultz said, “Tulsi Gabbard is someone who has met with war criminals, violated the Department of State’s guidance, and secretly, clandestinely, went to Syria and met with Assad, who gassed and attacked his own people with chemical weapons. She’s considered to be, essentially, by most assessments, a Russian asset. And would be the most dangerous –.”

John Brennan, who lied under oath about the CIA spying on Senate staffers, manufactured the Russia hoax despite knowing it was created by Hillary Clinton, claimed Hunter's laptop was Russian disinfo, and murdered a lot of innocent people with drones, provides the best endorsement of Tulsi for DNI yet. ... Former CIA director @JohnBrennan: @TulsiGabbard "doesn't have the type of perspective needed" to be director of national intelligence ... They are all panicking because they know what they’ve done and they’re getting ready to be busted. This is exactly what we wanted. ... He means Tulsi Gabbard is not right...

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, has been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda and would come to the job having never worked in the intelligence world or served on a congressional intelligence committee. ... In her public statements, Gabbard has often been at odds with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessments. If she is confirmed, her tenure would most likely be marked by clashes with government analysts who see Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government as the primary purveyor of disinformation designed to sow divisions in the U.S. Outraged lawmakers accused Gabbard two years...

Kamala Harris kept hundreds of black men in prison past their release date so she could use these men for cheap California state labor at $2 per day. That alone should have disqualified Kamala Harris from public office. Extending prison sentences for cheap labor sounds like criminal activity! In February 2019, Jackie Kucinich at The Daily Beast wrote about Kamala Harris’s Attorney General office keeping inmates locked up so the state could use them for cheap labor. Just like slavers. Kamala also locked up 1,500 people for marijuana violations.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D–Hawaii) took a cue from conservative conspiracists Thursday, when the congresswoman and Democratic presidential hopeful sued Google for $50 million and accused the company of violating her right to free speech. The suit, filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, argues that Google infringed on the First Amendment when it suspended her campaign advertising site for six hours, briefly impeding her ability to raise money right after a well-received debate performance. Many people on the right have recently made social media companies Public Enemy No. 1, claiming that they discriminate against conservative points of view. Ironically,...

The Kabuki-worthy facial expressions modeled by Kamala Harris during Tuesday’s presidential debate had many viewers alternately perplexed and rolling in the aisles as the Democratic nominee sought to steal ABC News’ split screen from former President Donald Trump. Now former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has revealed Kamala Harris received acting lessons ahead of the debate and was coached by Hollywood advisers. Kamala’s goal? To “act her way through this election,” she said. “That’s why she has locked herself in a hotel room, taking extreme acting lessons,” Gabbard said in a Fox News interview just ahead of Tuesday’s debate.
