Zelensky has already taken control of the media, outlawed opposition political parties & Ukraine’s Orthodox Christian church. Now he has just declared the cancellation of the March presidential elections. Even South Vietnam and Iraq held elections during wars. Biden claims his mission is to defend democracies and defeat autocracies. Yet he continues to take money from our pockets to underwrite a war of one corrupt autocracy (Ukraine) against another (Russia).
Zelensky now has absolute control of Ukrainian media, outlawed opposition political parties and Ukraine’s Orthodox Church, declared martial law, and uses absolute power under martial law to cancel presidential elections. So much for Biden’s false narrative that the world is in an existential fight to protect democracies from autocracies, wasting billions of US tax dollars.
The majority of all religion-based hate crimes are anti-Jewish. But when asked about such antisemitism, the White House bizarre response was: “We have not seen any credible threats” but “Muslims have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.” This is another example of why I left the Dem Party. It is led by and full of protectors and apologists for Islamism. Anyone who is against Islamist jihadists is labeled a “bigoted Islamophobe.”
I joined over 290,000 Americans at the historic March for Israel yesterday in Washington DC to take a stand against anti-semitism, against Islamist terrorists, and to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people who face unprecedented threats and attacks. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were a no show. One reason I left the Dem Party is because it is led by and rife with Islamist apologists and protectors who label anyone who opposes Islamist terrorists like Hamas as “Islamophobes.”

New mandatory K-12 “media literacy courses” is the same thing as Biden’s “Ministry of Truth,” this time integrating and pushing their propaganda in every class at every grade using our tax dollars, and whoever is in power decides what is “information” and what is “misinformation.” Just another reason why every parent needs to consider private schooling or homeschooling
“I called out the Democratic Party, saying it was time to get back to its roots of fighting for the little guy, fighting for working people, and protecting the environment, but the party didn’t take kindly to my constructive criticism. There are many examples, but ultimately, I was not a good foot soldier for the party bosses and therefore was seen as a threat to their power. So they worked with their friends in the mainstream media and big tech to do everything possible to shut me up, smear my character, and undermine my campaign.
I was in Congress for 8 years. Ultimately, my decision to not run for reelection in 2020 was based on a recognition that dysfunction, partisanship, and divisiveness in Congress had gotten to such a level that I felt I could do more elsewhere. At no point had I ever thought this was a career for me — not back in 2002 when I ran for State House, or when I ran for Congress, or when I ran for President. Some people were surprised that I didn’t run again for reelection because, theoretically, maybe that’s a job I could have kept for another decade. That was never a consideration or a thought that entered my mind because I didn’t see it as just a job. I saw every two years as an opportunity to serve and constantly reassess how and where I could best be of service. At that point in time, I knew it was the right decision. No regrets. I felt that I could be of more positive impact and service elsewhere.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

I’ve deployed 3 times to the war zones in the Middle East/Africa. I know how serious the threat from Islamist jihadists is. The Dem elite not only don’t care, they’ve become apologists for Islamist jihadists. They leave our borders open which we know are being exploited by these terrorists, and instead redirect our intel/security assets towards their political opponents like Trump/MAGA.
The Biden Admin, intel agencies, and propaganda media lied and are still lying to the American people about Ukraine/US sabotage of Nord Stream pipeline. Those responsible for this abuse of power must be held accountable. How can we trust anything they say? What else are they lying to us about? We deserve leaders we can trust.
As we observe #VeteransDay, and honor those who have served in our military, neocon politicians send our military men and women to fight in wars which are not absolutely necessary and could’ve been avoided; wars that were created or are waged for the purpose of driving up profits for the military industrial complex. These neocon politicians love to talk tough, because they’re not the ones putting their lives on the line, facing death, injury, and grave sacrifice on the battlefield.
They use us, my brothers and sisters in uniform, our veterans, as cannon fodder, for money and power. This is demoniac. To make things even worse, too many of our veterans who return home from war are forgotten, not cared for, and they and their families are left behind.
The best and most important way to honor those who serve, is to only send them into conflicts that are necessary to ensure the safety and freedom of the American people and our country.

Incredible 2 days hanging out with our good friends @tulsigabbard and @abrahamwilliamsdp at the @phase6dojo while they were in town last week!
We immersed ourselves in workout, movements and unconventional tools that are deeply rooted in martial arts, yet their impact extends far beyond.
Enhancing not just our physical capabilities but also our athletic performance, functional strength in real-life scenarios, combat situations, and multiple sports practices.
It’s fascinating to see the transferability of these ancient techniques to our modern lives, offering a unique blend of strength, mobility, and flexibility.
Each drill and exercise didn’t just challenge our bodies; they also reinforced the resilience and adaptability of our minds.
Ultimately, preparing us for any diverse challenge life throws our way.
Can’t wait for the next one @tulsigabbard and @abrahamwilliamsdp ✊⚡️⛩️

My best wishes to all who are celebrating on this holy day of #Diwali. May we all find inspiration, strength, and peace in the light of God’s love.
“‘Don’t Tread on Me.’ This just came out from the FBI that if you have the Gadsden flag, it may be a sign that you are a domestic extremist. The Betsy Ross flag… I digress. I think it’s important as we look at history and we look at both the victories and the failures, to learn, to grow, and to strive toward that more perfect union. That is such an important thing that I think is lost by people who reduce who we are as a country to the scars and the marks of our past. Rather than saying, let’s learn from the bad, let’s learn from the good, and together continue to strive towards that more perfect union.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

“We need a wholesale change in leadership. I would say that across both parties. Is it possible? Yes. Is it difficult in this environment? Sure. The entrenched powers essentially stand in opposition to that. For everyone who is concerned about our future, for the parents who are concerned about what their kids are being taught in schools, for people who value freedom. We have to take action and be engaged in our political process, in some fashion, whether you’re somebody who wants to run for office, you support someone who is running for office, or you are at minimum voting. Using your voice within whatever sphere of influence you have. You may think you’re just one person. But when you pick up your phone, and you look at the contacts in your phone, those people are within your sphere of influence. You can have conversations with them. There may be some people who you don’t agree with you on everything. Awesome. Don’t see that as a negative.
Too often lately, we see people who vote differently as enemies, ‘Oh, they voted for the other guy, I can’t talk to them.’ You know what I mean? ‘We disagree on this, they’re horrible. I’m right. They’re wrong.’ It’s so unfortunate that this is what so much of our conversation is reduced to — us versus them — rather than getting back to our foundation of who we are as Americans and starting our conversation there. Actually having a real conversation. Listening. Learning. You and I probably agree on some things, disagree on others. You’ve got a different background, upbringing, perspective than I do. Through having a conversation, we both can learn and grow. Maybe we come out the other side with the same exact positions we walked in with, or maybe we’re thinking about things a little differently than we had before. That’s life. That happens in our everyday lives, hopefully, in our own personal and professional relationships. Such an open and free marketplace of ideas, of dialogue, and of conversations with respect — this is how each of us can bring about the changes that we want to see.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

“Right now we’re living in a time of chaos, cancel culture, wokeism, and censorship. Our fundamental constitutional rights and freedoms are under attack. Our freedom of speech, which used to be something that everyone could agree with, was not only good and important but something worth fighting for. Now you talk about freedom of speech and people automatically think you must be a right wing conservative. You use the word ‘patriot,’ you must be a right wing conservative. You say the words, ‘I love my country…’ and that makes you a right wing conservative. We’re living in a time of such insanity that our constitution is being threatened in many ways. I’m using whatever platforms I have available to be a voice, to continue to uphold my oath. That oath that we take as service members is the same oath I took as a member of Congress, and it’s one that I took to heart. It’s not something that goes away when you lay down the uniform. It’s not something that goes away in my heart. So I’m taking those stands and hopefully inspiring other people to similarly recognize that we will lose the country that we love if we don’t take a stand for our freedoms and for our democracy.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

“What I liked least about fighting for representation for Hawaii and what was so disheartening was the partisanship and the trivial, transactional nature of Washington gamesmanship. It angered me so much to see how much both Congress and Washington were like high school. Even on the House floor, I could take you there and sit in the gallery and point out to you all of the different cliques and where they gathered on the House floor, who’s talking to who, where, and who was talking about who and where. So much petty crap.
Maybe it happens in a lot of workplaces, but we’re talking about the people’s House, where every single individual there was elected to do a job with serious consequences, not only related to war and peace, but related to education, health care, transportation, and all of these things that affect our everyday lives. It was just so disheartening and really unfortunate to see that there were so many people in Congress for the so-called glitz and glamor, the power and attention or the title — instead of actually doing the work of the people. Maybe they were doing the work of their party, but actually, being there to do the work of the people, more often than not, is lost. It’s only gotten worse, unfortunately.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

“I was very clear headed, clear eyed about why I was running, who I was serving, and who I was working for. It was for our brothers and sisters in uniform, for those who paid the ultimate price, those who came home, those who would serve after us, those who will come after us. And… it’s the people of Hawaii. As I traveled around the state campaigning, whether it was a small group, a large group, or a one-on-one conversation, I told every one of them, ‘I’m applying for a job from you. This is a rigorous interview process for you to decide who you want to be your voice and your representative fighting for you in Washington.’ And I did so again without the ‘establishment powers that be’ here in Hawaii.
Many of them were not disrespectful, but I heard no more often than yes. A lot of them said, ‘Tulsi, we think you’re smart. You’re great. You have a bright future, but it’s just not your time. Why don’t you try to run for Congress in 20 or 30 years?’ Respectfully, my response was along the lines of, ‘Ok, thanks. I’m doing this. I’m not doing it for you, and you don’t get to decide the election.’ So, I started out that campaign with 3% name recognition, 3% of voters in this district (Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District), which covers every island in the state, except for essentially the South Shore of Oahu, the urban corridor — 3% of the population knew who I was. Before I could convince them to vote for me, I had to say, ‘Hi, I’m Tulsi.’ I had to let them know that I existed in the first place.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

Happy Veterans Day to all our warfighters past and present @theveteransproject 🇺🇸
“I knew that I needed to be somewhere that I could impact those tough decisions, but I didn’t immediately go to Congress. You know, honestly, when I came back home to Hawaii, I wasn’t sure how or where I would make an impact. I was looking at a few opportunities with different organizations that were working on foreign policy and veteran issues. After that first deployment, I began serving as a legislative aide to Hawaii’s (then) U.S. Senator Dan Akaka, who was chair of the Veteran Affairs Committee at the time. He’s a World War II veteran, as was his partner, U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye, a Medal of Honor recipient, who served in the famous ‘Go For Broke’ 442nd Infantry Division, the most decorated infantry division in the Army’s history. The all Japanese division was formed because the rest of the military didn’t want to serve with Japanese Americans.
Working in Washington for Senator Akaka as he chaired the Veteran Affairs Committee was a great learning opportunity for me, and I was able to bring real time experience to some of the decisions and policies that he was pushing forward. As anyone who serves knows, even the best of ideas that trickle downhill become yet another death by PowerPoint. Everybody’s signed in, somebody had this great idea, and we have to listen to this PowerPoint presentation. But really, is it achieving the impact that was intended? No, not at all. I was able to share my very recent experiences having just returned from a deployment, or having just gone through TAPS, etc. Especially as Guardsmen and women, the redeployment transition, what services are offered, and so on and so forth. Giving them that honest feedback that they weren’t getting from the VA or from the DoD was very helpful.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

“My idea of war changed. The more I learned, the more I knew I wanted to learn more. Both in understanding the human costs and how those decisions really need to be made with the greatest level of care, honoring the sacrifices that our servicemen and women make. Also recognizing, in order to honor those sacrifices, when we go to war, it needs to be in service of the best interest of our country, in service of the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. Not in service of some military industrial complex profit-making venture. Not in the service of going and trying to be the policemen of the world or picking and choosing which dictator we want to overthrow and which country we’re going to try to create a mini-America in. Which, by the way, even with the best of intentions, throughout history, has caused more harm than good for the people in these countries where we go and meddle.
When it comes to war, just from my own personal experiences, coupled with a study of history, I’m asking very simple but important questions… What is our objective? What are we trying to accomplish? Can we ensure that objective serves the best interests of the United States and the American people?
Unfortunately, again, we have leaders who don’t know history, who are not interested in learning from it, who are not motivated by a desire to truly be of service — and these are the people making decisions about foreign policy, about peace and war, and about our men and women in uniform. We could speak for hours about different examples… Afghanistan. Regime-change in Iraq. Regime-change in Syria. There are so many different examples that you and I and our peers have lived through. And, frankly, our friends who have not lived through these wars. Look at how our policy leaders and even some of our military leaders have devastatingly failed us and failed the country.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)

Quote 2/2 “I came from a political background, and I understood how too many of our politicians just don’t get it. They don’t understand who pays the price for their decisions. We saw too many of those politicians come visit us there in Iraq, get the photo op, shake hands, pat people on the back, maybe stay for 24 hours, and then move on. And when they got back to Washington… it just made me laugh and it made me sick at the same time. I heard politicians say, ‘I’ve been to a combat zone 37 times and I know what this is like.’ No, you don’t know anything about what it’s like. So don’t even try to pretend… go and talk to the people who live this experience. Look into their eyes, look into the eyes of their families, and understand the gravity of the decisions that you’re making.
Congress has a constitutional responsibility to declare war. Congress has abdicated on that responsibility for a very long time, but that is the constitutionally dictated responsibility of Congress. Know the impact of that before you make that decision. Know the impact of the decisions that you make about training and readiness, taking care of families, and taking care of veterans. What happens here at home when it’s time to care for the people who have made that decision to raise their right hand and take an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and who are willing to sacrifice their life to do so?
The experiences of my first deployment and the many lessons that I personally learned are what drove me to be in a position to somehow, some way, impact the decisions that are made in Washington — about our military, about foreign policy, about our veterans. I knew my own unique experiences would make better informed decisions than those that were being made at the time.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)
@tulsigabbard
Quote 1/2 “You never really know completely what to expect on a deployment. You hear a lot, you feel like you go through an endless amount of training, but when push comes to shove, the reality is never a carbon copy of what you trained for. For me, serving in a medical unit, the realities of the human cost of war were ever present.
We were primarily at LSA (Logistical Support Area) Anaconda in Iraq. Just about everybody went through there at one point or another, and our brigade went to four different battle spaces in the country. I moved around a little bit to help our medical guys who were out supporting the other teams.
On day two, I was walking around the camp at the north gate. For those who were there, you will remember very clearly, there’s a huge sign. I don’t know who made it, but there’s a huge sign with big block letters at the gate. Before you leave every day, you see this sign that reads, ‘IS TODAY THE DAY?’ That was an ever present reminder that any day could be our last.
Personally understanding and accepting that reality of life and death, and wanting to make the most of life, not knowing how much time we have was massive for me. This was further settled in and reinforced when we had our first casualty. And again every single day, as I executed my first duty each morning — to review the latest list generated by the Force Commander for the country. Name by name, I went through the list of everyone who had been hurt or injured in the previous 24 hours, and I would look for any of the people who belonged to our brigade combat team. My job was to make sure they were getting the care they needed. Some would stay in-country, and others needed to be evacuated as quickly as possible. I would follow them until they were back home to their families.
It was tough seeing the names of people I knew, and there were a lot of people who I didn’t know, but understanding with every one of those names, there’s a loved one or a family or a child back home who were worried sick about them.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)
