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 over and over. I’m sure she isn’t feeling resentful.
Why did they brand Tulsi with four scarlet S’s? National security, that’s why, so shut up. It’s classified! Need to know! Never mind! Follow the science!
The most explanation anyone has ever gotten is that it was because of Tulsi’s suspicious travel schedule. Yeah, okay. More likely, it’s because Ms. Gabbard knows all about the deep state’s biolabs in Ukraine and has chatted freely about them. Will she declassify the embarrassing biolab files? She’s got a lot of leverage. Maybe she should hold onto that leverage until the exact right moment when the pain would be greatest. Counter leaks.
Sigh. You’d think Democrats would be happy. Tulsi is not a Republican. She is a former Democrat and now an independent. And she wasn’t just any random Democrat. She was in leadership. In 2016, she resigned as vice chair of the Democrat National Committee — protesting its oleaginous treatment of socialist Bernie Sanders, and she promptly endorsed Bernie for president.
But she is a wrong thinking Democrat, mostly because she is a patriotic veteran.
Yesterday, Bernie, that Rat Fink, unsentimentally voted against Tulsi’s confirmation, despite her support for him last time around. Mitch McConnell also voted against her. But of course he did.
As good as this news was, it was even better news for the pending confirmations of Kash Patel for FBI and Robert Kennedy, Jr. for HHS. If the deep state couldn’t kill Tulsi’s confirmation, then things just got a lot easier for Patel and Kennedy. Let’s go.
We’ll see…

Tulsi turned on the Democrats because Hillary tried to Russian collusion her and the Party went right along with it. But, she still voted to impeach Trump for strictly political reasons, and I find it hard to forgive that. But, I trust Trump knows exactly what he is doing, so I am giving her due process.
