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.

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.)

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has announced the end to her campaign following continued low placement in national polls, a weak finish during Super Tuesday and subsequent contests and failing to meet the thresholds to participate in the most recent series of Democratic National Committee sponsored debates. The Hawaii congresswoman announced her bid in January 2019. By the time of her departure from the race, the once diverse field of candidates dwindled leaving Gabbard the last person of color, veteran and millennial seeking a bid for the White House.

Hawaii Congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard issued another rebuke of the political elite and the corporate media on Sunday morning, claiming they were "trying to erase" her candidacy by preventing her from appearing in the upcoming debates. Gabbard--who is the only remaining candidate besides former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to not suspend her campaign--has repeatedly criticized the Democratic establishment and the media throughout her presidential bid. After the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced the latest rules to qualify for the new debate, she argued that the criteria was intended to keep her...

The Democratic National Committee on Friday released new guidelines for its debate scheduled for March 15th. The new threshold requires each candidate to have at least 20 percent of the delegates that have been awarded thus far. The move singles out Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who received just two delegates up until now. Gabbard took to Twitter to urge her opponents, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), to oppose the DNC's sudden requirement changes. Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 ✔ @TulsiGabbard .@JoeBiden @BernieSanders I’m sure you would agree that our Democratic nominee should be a person who will...

The only woman remaining in the 2020 race for the White House is calling on her party's top two competitors to help pressure the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to allow her to participate in an upcoming presidential debate in Phoenix. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, is now one of only three Democratic candidates still running for president. On Super Tuesday, March 3, she walked away with two delegates from American Samoa, which would have helped her qualify in the previous debate, held Feb. 25 in Charleston, S.C. **SNIP** On Friday night, Gabbard took to social media and appealed to Biden and...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is still running for president, despite low national polling numbers and winning only two pledged delegates in the nominating contests so far. The Hawaii Democrat's two delegates came from American Samoa, a US territory that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg won on Super Tuesday. (Bloomberg has since dropped out of the race.) The congresswoman, who has not polled above 1% in recent national surveys, is heading to Las Vegas this weekend to campaign. Gabbard will attend a town hall moderated by the nonprofit National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, according to a release...

The Democrats running for president will meet for their 11th debate later this month, but a new promise of higher qualification requirements could exclude one candidate who would have made the cut under previous rules. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who won one delegate in the American Samoa caucuses on Super Tuesday, met the mark set by the Democratic National Committee for the three previous debates, but DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa tweeted Tuesday night that they are upping the requirements going forward.

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is calling for a suspension of flights to Hawaii from South Korea and Japan amid growing concerns about the coronavirus. “It is irresponsible for our leaders to endanger the health and well-being of Hawaii’s people by continuing to allow travel from Japan and South Korea," Gabbard said, in a statement Wednesday. “I know there will be economic hardship, but it will pale in comparison to the cost in lives and economic damage to Hawaii and our country if we don’t suspend travel from these countries.”

I traveled to New Hampshire to check on the opposition 2020 candidates. Biden, Klobuchar, Yang, Tulsi. On Saturday the 8th. 4 was enough. Meet & greet events in small venues. YouTube videos, links below. Yang is impressive ... better with these local events than he is on TV. The DEMS should back him with the future in mind, but they're too stupid to appreciate his talent.

A lawyer for Hillary Clinton has finally accepted legal documents in connection with a $50 million defamation lawsuit filed by 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, the Hawaii congresswoman’s lawyer told Fox News on Thursday night. “We look forward to finally moving forward on the merits” of the case, said Brian Dunne, lead attorney representing Gabbard, who is suing over Clinton indirectly referring to her as a “Russian asset” during an October interview. The development comes after Clinton or her representatives declined to accept the papers in three previous attempts to serve them, Dunne said.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is suing Hillary Clinton for defamation over the former secretary of state's remarks on a podcast characterizing the Democratic presidential candidate as a Russian asset. Gabbard filed the defamation lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Gabbard’s lawyers allege that Clinton’s comments have “smeared” Gabbard’s “political and personal reputation.” “Tulsi Gabbard is a loyal American civil servant who has also dedicated her life to protecting the safety of all Americans,” Gabbard’s lawyer Brian Dunne said in a statement. “Rep. Gabbard’s presidential campaign continues to gain momentum, but she has...

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!”

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped President Trump for approving an airstrike against Iran’s top general, calling the attack "an act of war." “Make no mistake: Trump’s actions are an act of war,” Gabbard, a presidential candidate, said in an email to supporters. “Taken without any authorization or declaration of war from Congress, seriously escalating this tit for tat conflict, pushing us deeper into an endless quagmire and dangerously undermining our national security.” Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, has hinged much of her White House bid on ending America’s military involvements abroad and withdrawing troops from the Middle East. “We need...

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...

Of all the House Democrats undecided about voting to impeach President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has the least incentive to stick to the party line. The 2020 presidential candidate is giving up her seat to concentrate on her White House race, and she's long been an apostate against her party on some key issues. In New Hampshire earlier this week, Gabbard, 38, said she remains "undecided" on whether she'll vote to impeach the president. That makes her one of the few Democratic lawmakers to voice skepticism about the pair of impeachment articles passed by the House Judiciary Committee on...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, has rented a home in New Hampshire just two months before the first-in-the-nation 2020 presidential primary state votes in February. "I grew up in Hawaii, where Christmas was 80 degrees and a day at the beach, and so being here in the winter, it's just -- the first snow of the year is always fun," she said, according to WMUR-TV in Manchester. Gabbard said she thinks New Hampshire, which votes after Iowa, will be her best chance to break through as a presidential candidate. On Tuesday, Gabbard tweeted a post of a yoga session at her...
