Will Tulsi Gabbard Be Donald Trump’s
VP Pick?

Original Article

From her speech yesterday at CPAC, you would never have guessed Tulsi Gabbard ran as a Democratic candidate for president just three years ago. In fact, one could easily mistake her for a card carrying, gun toting, God loving MAGA acolyte. Not at all uncomfortable in front of a sea of populist conservatives, the former House representative from Hawaii expressed her gratitude to the audience for making her feel “right at home.” She spoke of her disdain for the Washington elite establishment with as much enthusiasm as any young buck Republican in the House. Her support of the second amendment rolled off her tongue as easily as

No. The Demon-Rat motto is anything goes (including lying, cheating, and even killing) to get and keep power!!!!! I know there have been a lot of former Demon-Rats who "saw the light" -- including the great President Ronald Reagan!!!. But I don't trust someone who was just voting for the pure evil of the Demon-Rat Party just a few years ago!!! Too many good, solid, lifetime Republicans out there to take a chance on another Demon-Rat vermin in RINO clothing!!!!!

I've been seeing articles about Tulsi for several years now. I like her. I also like Kari Lake, Vivek, Kristy Noem, and Ron Desantis. In my opinion, Trump has several good people to choose from.

Nikki Haley, who I despise, would be a better choice. One thing I will say for Tulsi. Other than Dianne Feinstein and former Calif. Rep. Jane Harman, she is the only Democrat woman politician in recent memory who isn't a shrieking harpy or a total dingbat, or both. The Democrat ABW's are in a category all their own.

#8 - Indeed. She's a career democrat from Hawaii, where their Supreme Court just ruled that the Second Amendment is "militia-centric" and "[does] not support a right to possess lethal weapons in public for possible self-defense." She may have a lesser purpose in a Trump administration but only somewhere well below the executive level.

Just my humble opinion. CPAC gave her a great welcome but it’s not because they were jumping up and down for her to be VP. The establishment GOP thinks we MAGA are a bunch of Christian hicks who don’t realize she is pro-choice and anti-gun. She is not a REPUBLICAN. These articles are just bait to get things riled up.

Not as VP, no....but I can see several places in a new Trump administration where she'd be handy to have around, where she could be an asset during the campaign, when she'd be helpful to lead the "Response" to certain incoming attacks(that we all KNOW will happen) Though I am waaaaay further right, I know of several people that worked on her campaigns, watched how the long knives came out for her, people literally driving her OUT of Hawaii for DARING to not "Kiss the Rings", they were not/are not wackjobs, and sane people can be reasoned with, if your "Reasons" are good? They will come along, climb aboard, stroke their oar...because they feel (at least for now) we are all going the same way. Trump needs a "Big Tent" win...because he will need a wiiiiide base to make this second term effective. There is room for a meet and greet, friendly little chat with ANYONE who has been Ignored, let down, lied to, lied about, cast out, stabbed in the back, by the current "Powers that be", and they are LEGION.

The Bidens have shown a legendary skill at evading legal accountability. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, Biden family members often marshal political allies and media to kill investigations or cut sweetheart deals. The Bidens swim in scandal with the ease and agility of a bottlenose dolphin. From his own plagiarism scandal to his brother’s role in killing a man to his son’s various federal crimes, Bidens have long been a wonder in Washington. It turns out that it may be something of a family trait acquired through generations of natural selection. A historian recently discovered that Joe Biden’s great-great-grandfather, Moses J.

In 1892, Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas, Oscar Wilde's lover, wrote a poem called "Two Loves" which referred euphemistically to "the love that dare not speak its name." At that time, homosexuals were expected to keep their sexual orientation and relationships secret. In 1986, Norman Podhoretz published a groundbreaking essay in Commentary Magazine called "The Hate That Dare Not Speak Its Name," which put the subject of antisemitism in American journalism on the public radar.

Democrats may be changing their minds about former President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to a new poll. Trump has long received low marks from Democrats, who have long opposed him on a wide range of issues including immigration, abortion rights and the economy, but a Harvard/Harris CAPS poll released this week found that Democrats' general approval of the former president has risen since he left office in January 2021.

Rep. Mary Peltola, the first Democrat to represent Alaska in the House in nearly 50 years, is looking to retain her post in Congress after flipping the seat from red to blue in 2022. It's been more than a year since Peltola, who previously served for a decade as a member of the Alaska state House, was sworn in as the singular voice for Alaskans in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her purported loyalty to her party, however, has left Peltola unable to address constituent concerns on Capitol Hill, according to two leading Republicans who are looking to oust her from Congress.

Recently, Democratic Party-cheerleading economist Paul Krugman declared, “Inflation is over. We won.” This is like a robber shooting you and then declaring, “The coma I put you in is over! We won!” The truth is that the wild inflation, high interest rates, bank failures, and other economic harms of the last three years were all entirely avoidable and all entirely caused by President Biden and the Democrats’ arrogant and unwise policies. This is not “Monday morning quarterbacking.” Some of us were saying this well before the fact.

Last week Republicans lost one of their precious seats in the House of Representatives reducing their slim majority to near invisibility. Interestingly, this did not have to happen. The vacancy giving rise to the special election in New York 3, was intentionally created by the Republicans themselves. A cynic might say with opponents like these, the Democrats can stroll through their victory lap. An influential group of Republican congressmen, including the Republican Chair of the House Ethics Committee, decided the behavior, or misbehavior, of their erstwhile colleague, George Santos, was unworthy of a Republican Congressman.

There is excellent news for the American industry, economy, and international trade sectors. The discovery of colossal rare earth deposits in Wyoming could essentially restructure the global supply chain of these crucial elements in the near future. A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

The United States has vetoed one United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, but President Joe Biden is reportedly proposing a separate ceasefire resolution that would also call on Israel to abandon its plan to crush the remnants of Hamas in the city of Rafah. He should proceed no further in this. Israel has come too far and made too much progress in the laudable goal of dismantling Hamas to stop now. Before Hamas massacred innocent Israelis on Oct. 7, there were 24 Hamas regional battalions in Gaza. These have been reduced to six, and they are in Rafah. The city must be taken. Hamas must not

A tearful Mitch McConnell has announced he will be stepping down as the longest-serving Senate leader in history and admitted 'father time remains undefeated.' The Republican senator, who turned 82 last week, choked up on the Senate floor as he revealed he will leave the position he's served in for almost 18 years in November after a 'painful time' that included the death of his sister-in-law. McConnell has battled constant calls to step down in recent months over his support for sending more aid to Ukraine and is the last member of the Republican leadership not to have endorsed Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid.

If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions. Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed. The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. [SNIP] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.

As Denver faces a budget crisis due to 40,000 illegal immigrants arriving in the last year, the city is warning hourly workers that they may be furloughed, while also considering hiring illegal immigrants to work for the city, The Daily Wire has learned. A spokeswoman for Denver mayor Mike Johnston told The Daily Wire that the budget crisis was caused by illegal immigrants being unable to work, causing them to be a drain on taxpayer dollars. The idea was to solve that by having them work directly for the city, she said. She said that a full-time salary funded by taxpayers was “not necessarily” more costly than social services.

Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election. This is a really bad idea.
