She's a veteran and a courageous and outspoken opponent of all things Hillary. She was, and probably still is, an honest Democrat who loves her country. They still exist, although far fewer then there once was. I wish her and her husband the very best in this worst of times for them.

My grandmother had bone cancer in the 80's. I would not wish that disease on anyone, because no one deserves to die slowly in that much pain. Death, when it finally came, was a blessing. It was so bad, that I can support physician assisted suicide in cases like this. My sympathies go out to the Gabbard family and I pray for mercy.

She will be missed greatly. Two questions come to mind. Has the Intel Community developed a way to cause bone cancer, or is this more of Dr.Fauci's mRNA shot side effects?

Since Trump brought her into his administration, one of his best high-level staffing moves, she has always seemed to me to be the proverbial adult in the room. Perhaps an unusual form of praise but she strikes me as the one in this administration who would take a bullet for Trump and worry about her personal consequences later, if she survived.

I lost a good friend last year to bone cancer. The only good thing about it was that it moved fast so he died less than a year later. There’s not much that can be done with bone cancer, and this sounds like a nasty one. Sad news all around. Tulsi was doing a great job, and I’m sorry for their troubles. Godspeed, Ms. Gabbard.

I sorry the her husband is in dire straits with cancer. I’m also sorry that she has to leave the DNI because I believe she has been doing an outstanding job in that position. When democrats are pinging on someone you know they are over the target. I sure hope Trump finds an equally aggressive leader.

As for Tulsi, I expect great things from her in the future. She is a political star, regardless of her political label - the kind of leader the founding fathers envisioned.

Democrat Barney Frank has died. Before we get into this story, you should know… (snip) Frank was directly tied to a disturbing political scandal in the 1980s. It was a scandal involving a male escort operation run out of his home by a man with deep connections to a bigger network involving underage boys, political protection, and organized exploitation in the Swamp. That’s what Barney Frank got caught up in. But unlike conservatives who get politically executed over much less, Barney Frank survived it all… and actually thrived.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., defended the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) from fraud allegations related to its funding of hate hoaxes, stating “what its donors love about the Southern Poverty Law Center is how effective it’s been.” After donors purchased a decade of race riots and left-wing violence to help Democrats, he must be right. At a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Raskin was attempting to defend the SPLC from a federal fraud indictment which showed how the organization that claims to dismantle “hate groups” actually funds them in order to manufacture hate and then fundraise even more off the chaos.

The judge handed Bock a 500-month sentence and ordered her to repay nearly $243 million to the federal government. Last year, a jury found her guilty on multiple criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. Prosecutors said she orchestrated the largest pandemic fraud case in the country, which diverted tens of millions in government money meant to feed hungry children.

Iran's regime has been using two tactics. It says: "We need time. We are, because of the strikes, fractured and our leadership divided." Or, as Vice President J.D. Vance naively noted on its behalf, it says it does not know what it wants. "The Iranians aren't themselves quite clear in what direction they want to go," Vance, with a straight face, told reporters at the White House; "they are also just a fractured country." That is exactly what the regime wants: that you are dumb enough to believe that. The Iranian regime knows precisely what it wants.
