“I’m very concerned for [the president's] life. And James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this." — DNI Tulsi Gabbard “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Jim Comey, former FBI Director wrote on Instagram about the message “86 47” laid out in seashells on the sand that he came across, innocently. You’d have to ask yourself: what was “cool” about that, exactly? Especially if, as Mr. Comey claimed on X soon after, that he didn’t know what it meant. Are things that you don’t understand “cool”? Is it just “cool” to learn...

The joy that the new Trump administration has given to me has not yet abated. Last week, Tulsi Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in which a slack-jawed, dumb-founded Sen. Angus King of Maine noted that the 2025 annual threat assessment by the U.S. intelligence community made no mention of climate change. Tulsi responded by saying, “I can’t speak to the decisions made previously, but this annual threat assessment has been focused very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national security.” In short, the intelligence service is now focusing on...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe both said in sworn testimony to the Senate on Tuesday that there was no classified information or material shared on the group chat created by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to coordinate on military strikes against the Houthis.Gabbard testified, “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat,” while Ratcliffe said, “My communications, to be clear, in the signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.”The sworn statements undercut what Democrats and Trump critics are trying to claim...

Washington -- As President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk work to overhaul the federal government, they are forcing out thousands of workers with insider knowledge and connections who now need a job. For Russia, China and other adversaries, the upheaval in Washington as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency guts government agencies presents an unprecedented opportunity to recruit informants, national security andintelligence experts say. Every former federal worker with knowledge of or access to sensitive information or systems could be a target. When thousands of them leave their jobs at the same time, that creates a lot of targets, as...

Tulsi Gabbard has been insulted over and over again by democrats and even some Republicans. She has been called a "Russian asset" (does that sounds familiar?). After Trump nominated her for DNI Abilgail Spanberger said about Gabbard "Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin." For a long time now Gabbard has been warning everyone about Syria. The ignorati have been for some time wailing about the evil of Bashar Assad. USA Today celebrated his removal. WASHINGTON – From the White House, President Joe...

Everything you suspected might be going on in the Federal Government these past four years is turning out to be true. For instance, if you thought radical transgenderism was being pushed on agencies and employees to the detriment of the government's core mission, it looks like you can take off the tin foil hat. One whistleblower says it's all true, and it's probably worse than you imagined. ... National Security Agency's Interlink messaging program was used by federal employees to engage in debauched conversations about transgender fetishes and transitioning. ... While the mainstream press screams bloody murder over the Trump...

Investigative reporter and right-wing influencer Chris Rufo just dropped a story that’ll have you seeing red. And while it’s no shock that employees inside the NSA have a secret chatroom—pretty much standard behavior for these anti-Trump types—it’s what they’re using it for that’s the real kicker. Forget swapping recipes or sharing family photos. No, this little hideout is being used to bash their new boss, Tulsi Gabbard and trash the so-called MAGA “cult.” ... Not only are they smearing Tulsi as “anti-queer” and a “Russian agent”—classic propaganda straight from the regime-run media playbook—but now they’re accusing her of being part...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was irate and promised to root out National Security Administration agents who held lurid sex chats in sensitive government chat rooms in the name of DEI. The revelations of chats about 'polyamory and castration' came as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE continue their effort to purge the federal government of woke gender ideology. A report by journalists Christopher Rufo and Hannah Goodman claimed that NSA agents engaged in wild chats on the NSA's Intelink messaging program 'featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.' These chats, according to Rufo and Goodman,...

The Washington Post ran a terrifically encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Tulsi Gabbard sworn in as Trump’s director of national intelligence.” Welp. There it is. It is Trump’s genius to nominate Cabinet heads who hate the agencies they have been appointed to re-engineer. Tulsi, for instance, was hounded by the deep state, who put her on the dreaded “Quad-S” travel list, which requires invasive (ahem) “enhanced” screenings and a mandatory DEI airport escort. It means you have to get to the airport five hours before your flight for a painful, unnecessarily intimate, and socially awkward experience. They did it to her...

Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. In a party-line 52-48 vote, with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) crossing the aisle to vote with the Democrats, one of President Trump's more problematic nominees accomplished what was thought impossible only three weeks ago.

Senate Intel Chair Tom Cotton found a surprise ally in former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) to help resuscitate Tulsi Gabbard's nomination. The former Democratic senator approached Cotton and was deployed to help sway Sens. Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) into "yes" votes today, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: Cotton, the hawkish Arkansan who is No. 3 in GOP leadership, worked all the angles on Gabbard. He worked with Vice President Vance — who's been a crucial influence on undecided senators — Trump adviser Jason Miller and others on Gabbard's team. Cotton told Trump last year he could...

Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be President Donald Trump director of national intelligence cleared a key Senate committee Tuesday. The Senate Intelligence Committee advanced the former Democrat congresswoman's nomination in a closed-door 9-8 vote, and it now heads to the full Senate for consideration. A vote has not been scheduled yet. Following a contentious confirmation hearing last week, where some Republican senators questioned Gabbard harshly, GOP support for her fell into place following a campaign over the weekend unleashed by Trump supporters and allies, including Elon Musk. Until three GOP members seen as swing votes announced their support, it wasn’t clear...

The Senate Intelligence Committee narrowly approved Tulsi Gabbard

I'm honored and grateful to President Donald J. Trump for his trust and confidence in nominating me to serve our country as the Director of National Intelligence. I am especially honored to be nominated for this role at a time when trust in the intelligence community is at an all-time low, and the world is more dangerous than ever, given the national security failures of the Biden administration. But it didn't start with President Biden. For too long, faulty, inadequate and weaponized intelligence has led to costly failures, which have undermined our national security and constitutional freedoms. The most obvious...

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to become director of national intelligence received a major boost on Monday when Senator Susan Collins said she would back President Donald Trump's nominee. "I look forward to working with Ms. Gabbard to strengthen our national security," Collins, a moderate who is one of the few Republicans who has voted against Trump initiatives, said in a statement supporting Gabbard.
