Tulsi Gabbard always says the right conservative thing. She is featured on lots of conservative Fox news shows, and has hosted the Tucker Carlson show. She is smart, articulate, soft spoken, attractive, and seems to have lots of common sense. But wait...are we really getting what we're seeing on TV?
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, has announced she is leaving the Democratic Party; she should not be alone.
“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party. It is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness by radicalizing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution.” (https://people.com/politics/tulsi-gabbard-announces-leaving-democratic-party/) She accused the Democratic Party “of being contemptuous toward religion and police and driving the country closer to nuclear war.”
In her video, Gabbard said, “Democrats are hostile to people of faith, demonize police but protect criminals, weaponize the national security state to attack political opponents and are driving the country closer to nuclear war.” She called on fellow commonsense independent minded Democrats to join her in leaving the Democratic Party. Gabbard represented Hawaii in Congress from 2013 to 2021 and was considered a rising star in Democratic Party politics. She had the support in Congress of organized labor and environmental groups like the Sierra Club. She backed Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. On foreign policy,
Gabbard opposed U.S. interventionism, regime change, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but was a hawk on terrorism, opposed the Iran nuclear deal and supported sovereignty-violating drone warfare.[...read more]

The departure report from America’s original principles that were based on human nature and personal responsibility is continuing.
Contrary to political propaganda, national collapse is neither unlikely nor unavoidable. History provides the guide to recovery. The Jamestown colony initially lived by socialistic democracy that was soon rejected after half the colony perished within two years. With new leadership of Capt. John Smith, who enforced personal responsibility principles (no work, no eat), the colony survived.
Does today’s generation have the leadership capability of Captain Smith and the principles of America’s Founders? Health care. The effects of the Medicare Act on consumer costs, private insurance competitiveness, research, and pharmacy availability and pricing are debatable but beyond the scope of this essay.
Life longevity worldwide has improved tremendously since 1800 when the world average was 29 years, and all countries were below 40 years. By 1950 the world average was 46 years, Europe was 62 years and America with 68 years led the world. The 2015 comparison is 71, 78, and 79 years, respectively. Major health-related issues for America are homelessness (highest world rate) and mental health.
Mass-shootings are frequently related to mental health. America rarely experienced a mass-shooting before 1966. From 1966 to 2019, America has led the world with 163 mass-shootings and is now averaging five to 10 annually, using the FBI definition of four or more deaths and random targeting. Many factors undoubtedly factor into the cause. Sadly, but logically, for every mental health case there are presumably hundreds of mentally deficient individuals where they and their family are coping with life issues needing treatment.[...read more]
