For the sake of urgency I’m going to talk in direct and bold terms about the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard. The IC system is attempting to remove her as a disruptive influence by using Iran as a wedge to get her out, but the issue they have with Director Gabbard has nothing to do with Iran.
CTH approaches this after being very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard’s ability. Not because of intent, but rather we doubted her understanding of the scope of the IC opposition aligned against an effective Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Gabbard started out with these weaknesses, but she learned quickly – grasped the opposition– and has become a transformative force within the Intelligence Community. Director Gabbard’s recent efforts within the Intelligence Community Inspector General office is another feather in her cap of competence. Gabbard is now a threat.
If President Trump allows or supports the removal of DNI Gabbard, he is opening up the backplate of his armor, and making himself vulnerable.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Chairman Tom Cotton, the disassembled National Intelligence Council and a host of Intelligence Community embeds would like to see Gabbard removed. DC wants to see her removed because the traditional role of the DNI has been a willfully blind tool of the Intelligence Community; Gabbard is not that.
As DNI Mrs Tulsi Gabbard has ♦ chased down intelligence community leakers, ♦ released the JFK files, ♦ released Joe Biden’s domestic terrorism surveillance plan, ♦ intercepted an NIC plot to impeach President Trump (confirmed by Rubio), ♦ taken control of the Presidential Daily Briefing, ♦ and more recently begun to confront the weaponized corruption within the IC Inspector General organization. These are actions, not words, and those actions speak boldly. Suffice to say, her effectiveness has placed a target on her back.
In the past few weeks, ever since she began intercepting the ICIG issues and using her own personnel to monitor the IC network, she has been targeted with several direct smear campaigns. It is obvious the targeting is coming from inside the intelligence apparatus, and perhaps even the orbit around/under CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Tulsi Gabbard did make a strange video about nuclear weapons contrast against the horrific outcomes in Japan, but that seemed to be more of a personal video entry expressing a deep concern about nuclear weapons from her own perspectives. I said it was weird when I saw it, but I put that expression into the context of ‘surfboard Tulsi‘, the DNI peacenik. No biggie.
However, with the Israel -v- Iran conflict encompassing the White House, there is a transparent objective to weaponize Tulsi Gabbard’s activity as a contrast against President Trump supporting military conflict in Iran.
This contrast is being stimulated by the same elements who want to see her removed for the reasons noted above.
The latest narrative du jour in the files includes:
WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump has increasingly mused about nixing Gabbard’s office completely, an idea he floated when he gave her the job. In the White House there have been discussions about folding its mandate into the CIA or another agency, according to one of the people familiar with his response to the video and two others familiar with the matter — though it’s unclear what that would mean for Gabbard. The Director of National Intelligence serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser and oversees the sprawling U.S. spy community. (link)
First, “nixing Gabbard’s office completely” is exactly what the bad elements of the Intelligence Community would love to see. Second, “folding its mandate into the CIA” is like a dream come true for the darkest elements of the IC and Senate enablers. And Third, “serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser” is false. That’s the job of the National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio.
If there is one hope amid this looming and increasing drumbeat to remove her, it is that Marco Rubio likely can see exactly what the motives and intentions are from his former colleagues. The elements targeting DNI Gabbard all come from SSCI Chairman Marco Rubio’s old tribe.
SoS/NSA Rubio might save her, as too may Vice President JD Vance. Both of them are at the perfect distance to see the assembled drumbeat against Gabbard for what it is, a coordinated Intelligence Community operation. At least that is my hope.
I am not confident they will succeed removing her. However, what I am confident about is that if DNI Tulsi Gabbard is removed, she will not be replaced, and that’s as good as a win for the bad actors trying to target and survive Trump.
President Trump has no more juice or influence in the Senate. That time is over. Trump has exhausted all of the political capital he held in the upper chamber. Every Republican Senator now smiles, nods and does whatever the heck they want regardless of how it impacts President Trump. This is especially true for the SSCI who would control confirmation of a DNI replacement. They Republicans do not have to pretend any longer, Trump’s juice is gone.
If President Trump allows the Brutus crew in his orbit to isolate, ridicule and marginalize Tulsi Gabbard, he will be putting a significant part of his administration at risk. This is the Six Ways from Sunday crowd.
I want in gov’t whoever the “IC system” doesn’t want.
Agreed Sunshine Girl, This former U. S. Naval Flight/Intelligence Officer wants, in fact, demands the same.
Aye, Sir.
I want bonafide Treehousers in the IC..
Sundance for sure! If it wasn’t for his articles explaining the nightmare of bad actors inside the sick bureaucracy, we wouldn’t know a darn thing!
I take it you have never attended a jaycees event to understand where and when the vetting process begins.
Are these even held anymore?
I want to know, why is it so difficult for PDJT to read this site. I get that reading here from his phone would be scooped up by the IC etc. but having a trusted staff member or family member print these pages from a library computer is not impossible.
I get that he’s busy, but he can’t be “not bothered” to keep up with his own environment by boxing himself in.
Doesn’t make sense to me.
If Trump allows it, he will have earned every bit of grief and treachery they will subject him too.
So if President Trump makes one mistake then revel in his misfortune? So, don’t be grateful for all the good that President Trump has done but abandon him when he makes one mistake. I guess you should have voted Kamala.
This would not be “one mistake”.
it would be willful blindness.
There are mistakes, then there are “MISTAKES”. Vacating the DNI would be a huge setback for DJT, his Administration and his future goals. The DS will gain back all that Gabbard has clawed back so far and more.
Just the point I was going to make.
President Trump should also have learned something from Russiagate, Ukrainegate, Fauxchigate, etc,
Also, please, is there the possibility that this analysis can be shared with the right people?
It continues to be all so frustrating.
Have you not heard Sundance say that we are more aware of what’s going on (hat tip to Marvin Gaye I think) than almost any politician?
Politicians are like mushrooms, they like living in the dark and being fed manure.
In my estimation, This will be more than one mistake.
Your empathy skills are impressive. /s
Empathy has nothing to do with it. I had empathy when he was a novice in politics, and persecuted by the same people who are working overtime to destroy his administration.
PT was put through literal hell by the IC the last 8yrs. He should know by now every one of their dirty tricks. And he should know when he’s getting advice from a DS operative.
Someone who is connected IMO needs to send this to PT, Don Jr or even Baron to ensure it reaches PT eyes.
PT has been backstabbed so many times by his so called GOP peers it makes one want to vomit.
I agree, Tulsi is the best IC person he has simply because she has integrity and honesty.
I hope PT doesn’t give to the SSCI.
Again, if Sundance was somehow within the circle of advisors this issue IMO would already have been discussed with PT.
You can’t believe Trump is as smart as he is and believe that he is not aware of the content presented here.
I trust our VSGPDJT
In God we trust,
all else pay cash.
If Tulsi knows what is happening as it seems she should based on her recent actions, seems she should have a conversation with President Trump herself, maybe with Rubio involved. I don’t see Trump turning down that discussion especially with the critical national security issue now occuring. .
Susie Wiles won’t allow it.
I’ve had enough of Wormtongue Wiles.
Susie Wiles will do as President Trump directs her to do
.
Sundance posted this concern on *X*. So am sure many, many eyes have seen it.
I sent a note to President Trump on the White House comment site and hope it gets to the President.
The good news is Sundance has alerted those that monitor TCTH.
Hopefully President Trump will be apprised of the findings.
Cheers!
The little I know or read seems to show that, considering how deep and treacherous the IC Swamp is, Director Gabbard is doing a good job.
I doubt anyone in the administration could do much better.
Director Gabbard may also be getting a lot of false ‘intel’ from those who may be trying to
Make her appear in opposition to the President.
I sincerely doubt the Director is in disagreement with the President – anyone in DJT’s inner circle arguing that (Do YOU know Susie… like I know Susie? Oh, oh, Oh what a gal!)
Is hurting the President, not helping him.
I pray you are correct Dekester be well stay strong
R.D.
💪
This is probably President Trumps biggest flaw
Giving praise and forgiveness to the likes of Lindsay Graham and throwing overboard his close allies
He does not like Lindsey Graham I don’t know how people can’t see that
He has endorsed him multiple times.
There are plenty of other examples. You get what I’m saying or you don’t 🤷🏾♂️
When cth could see pence and pompeo plain as day he was still screwing around w those guys
President Trump does not suffer any/many fools……..he usually gives them the rope and they end up hanging themselves. Graham has been swinging on the end of it for a long time. He must be useful for something….but he’s one of those good ol’ boyzzzzz who thinks he (Graham) “gets it”, but doesn’t. President Trump is too much of a gentleman to smash him like a bug……..but if it comes down to it, Graham’s wings get plucked!!! LOL
Ok
Sundance exposed McCain and graham forever ago
He’s not a good ol boy
He keeps going to Ukraine and bad things keep happening
The President surely prefers an enemy inside the tent who pees outside to a friend outside who pees on the tent.
It’s safe to assume that the President knows Graham inside out, and that he’ll spare him (possibly with pressure) for his vote in a slim majority.
Right….but I do not think for one moment that President Trump does not have Graham’s number…..we live the next state over and even WE know Graham is an a**……hopefully his days in office are numbered…….in the South, “good ‘ol boy” is a moniker for many who hide behind it to get their dirty deeds done!!!
Kinda like “Bless your heart…..”
Graham is harmful to the US.
Any Republican (any!!) in South Carolina would be better than him.
And get elected, too!!
Someone needs to put THAT information in the President’s ear!
We have tried to primary Graham but SC has open primaries meaning Ds can vote in the R primary. He’s the closest thing to electing a D. He’s Uniparty. That’s what Ds want until they can elect one of their own.
Exactly…that is why open primaries are so dangerous.
And the Ranked Choice abomination.
The SC RNC also employs the splitter strategy. Graham never has to go 1-on-1 in the primary. There are always 3-5 opponents, one of which panders to the evangelicals. Guarantees a split of the conservative vote.
The last two elections, the Dem’s put up an ultra liberal carpetbagger. Graham gets the votes of a lot of the centrists in the Columbia-Charleston-Myrtle Beach triangle.
Splitter strategy wouldn’t work nearly as well
Yes, I live in SC.
Getting rid of Graham would scare a lot of Rinos.
Republicans would still keep the senate seat.
Graham cracker is past his sell-by date.
Make it happen, Mr President!
There is a Republican running against Lindsey Graham!!!
The ONLY reason Lindsey won his seat last time is because there WAS NOT a Republican running against him.
ONLY a Democrat was running against him.
Lindsey Graham IS NOT liked in South Carolina.
And Lindsey will personally hire some R’s to run against him
I voted for him in 2020. Never again.
He doesn’t represent SC.
He represents the MIC.
I hear ya but not having 51 beans in the Senate will be a real disaster.
I’ve come across two on twitter. I already see the constituents splitting. They don’t realize there is two. I’m guessing more are out there, I just haven’t seen them yet. Both served our country, one’s a business owner and supported by Kash and Co, the other is little known so far but they both claim MAGA! The one without a bundle of cash to spend has a complete MAGA agenda vs the business owner who doesn’t have an agenda that I saw, just commercials.
This is the kind of thing Elon should invest in if he were serious. Primary the RINOs & support the MAGAs.
Sundance, I knew you would be on this as soon as they started on her. This will be seen by the right people hopefully.
Tulsi Gabbard is one of the best personnel picks President Trump has made.
Yes! Totally! Tulsi and Marco are the only picks I feel really good about and I’m watching Marco.
Agree. And if you had said that at the beginning, I’d call you nuts. Who would have thought these two would step like the did. I know I didn’t.
Given the slime pits they were thrown into I think all of Trump’s nominees are doing a good job. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I remember very prominent people here saying what a mistake it was for Trump to even consider it, should never trust her, etc, even as those of us who knew better were called degenerates and “mommy milker chasers.”
Ding ding ding, winner!
I have been very pleasantly surprised with TG as DNI.
I too hope PDJT doesnt allow her to be sacrificed. I wasn’t very happy with his quote about Tulsi regarding Iran’s potential nuclear capabilities, “I don’t care what she said…”
She definitely seems like one of the really good ones on his team, trying to MAGA..
I didn’t take it as a slight to her. I took it as a reference to the past tense. Her later clarification sewed it up for me that the relationship was fine.
Tulsi was misquoted. She said that the intelligence community TOLD HER that Iran was not building a nuke. She literally exposed her enemies, IMHO.
This
Exactly. 🎯🎯🎯
Yup, the enemies at the gate purposefully misquoted her.
And the CIA is full of them, including that deputy Muslim lady who is probably a double agent for Iran.
Forgot her name.
Here is her own answer:
This is what she said back then:
“Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons”
Gabbard did not actually say back in March that she believed Iran wasn’t seeking a nuclear weapon. She said “The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.” With that remark she was passing along the assessment of the IC rather than giving her own conclusion.
Another thing she said was “Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons”, which implies she does not accept the IC assessment, obviously because what else could Iran be doing seeking such levels of highly enriched uranium unless they were actually seeking nuclear weapons?
But of course this last week the MSM has spun her testimony in a way that made it sound like she had lied when it was actually the IC giving an inaccurate assessment. Then Trump responded to a question with the remark that he does not care what she said.
Now, what if Trump was making a strategic comment meant to draw out the IC players who want to get rid of Gabbard? They probably came out of the woodwork in the hours after he said it to give their advice to get rid of her and what to do after she was gone. And now he would know who they are, if he didn’t already.
All this is just me thinking out loud without any inside knowledge. But what if Trump and Gabbard are already thinking along the lines Sundance outlined? I would suggest that if the Iranian regime falls without the U.S. doing much more than dropping that big bomb on Fordow and that a more acceptable regime replaces them without the need for U.S. boots on the ground, that Trump’s influence over the Senate will be improved considerably.
My thoughts exactly.
they all think they are smarter than Trump even when he clearly shows you what he said before and what he actually did. Start with understanding that one has a task to lull the enemy into a false sense of security. All the talking head feints are irrelevant. Watch and listen to PDJT, see what he does, observe how the scenario turns out and when you put them together you can see the MO in hindsight. That just happened, and while everyone was talking the doers were doing. While everyone wants to know what the irrelevant talking heads are saying history is being made elsewhere as they bloviate.
I agree with this
My concern is there are devious bad actors who will do crazy things no one anticipated.
Many wars were started by false flags no one saw coming
I believe if Netanyahu thinks shooting amissile at a U.S. asset will further his agend to drag us in he will do it
I guess that’s antisemitism
My last statement isn’t directed at you brenrod
D One : Thank you for your “thinking out loud” response.
It’s actually a simple solution. Gabbard can easily identify who gave her the fake information about Iran not developing a nuclear weapon. She can have all of them fired. She has to have a team she can trust, whether she has to fire 100 people or 1,000. Start at the top of the food chain, the heads of the snakes.
Gabbard should never have repeated the nonsense they told her to say in a video because the Left and Trump’s enemies are using it to mount a huge anti-war movement to label Trump as someone unfit to govern. They liken the situation to when George Bush “used the WMD hoax to get us into a forever war in Iraq.” “Hands off Iran” they now screech along with their shrieks of “Hands off Gaza”. Gabbard has successfully created a tool for the Democrats, their propaganda media, and the JihadiMarxist anarchists in the country to inflame their insurrection activities against the President.
Personally, I trust President Trump to make the right decision. For decades we’ve had to fear the consequences of Iran becoming a nuclear power while our weakling Presidents have refused to do anything about it. Some of them like Obama and Biden have even been traitors actively empowering Iran to build nuclear weapons. I am thankful that Israel is carrying the heavy load for the rest of the civilized world by clearing the airspace over Iran and teeing up the opportunity for our B-2 to go finish the business of getting rid of their nuclear program once and for all. The job is almost complete. To back off now and go back to “negotiation for a nuclear agreement” seems fruitless and dangerous IMO. We can’t trust anything the Mullahs say except their vow, “Death to America.” To go back to “talks” would only give them time to rebuild while they are shining us on. They may stop their efforts while Trump is in office but then they will get right back to business after he is gone.
If the powers that be are too weak to go finish the job of destroying the last dregs of the Iranian nuclear program, then let the IDF borrow the plane and the bunker buster bombs. Or go park it near an airfield where the Israelis can steal it. Trump should not allow himself to become known as another Bill Clinton, who is the President responsible for giving the North Korean psychopaths the technology to develop nuclear weapons. Millions could die one day because of this decision.
I hope Director Gabbard is given the go-ahead from the President to fire as many people as she needs to.
She’d do it.
Unlike the Blonde AG, and her buddies,
Ka$H and Danny-boy, who won’t fire nary a one of the numerous
back-stabbing, weasel-worded, corrupt cockroaches infesting the doj and fib.
Good point. Director Gabbard was giving the IC community’s assessment, not her own.
And Anyone with the IQ of a flea can discern what she said regarding Iran’s uranium enrichment level as the exact Opposite of the
Oh-so-smart IC idiots.
No nation would go through
The time
The effort
The expense
Of enriching Uranium past the level needed for nuclear power generation…
UNLESS they wanted to build a bomb.
not at all, he is proceeding perfectly on Iran, you just dont get what he is doing, and you assume he thinks like you.
Well, President Trump forgives Tucker “Hunter Bromance” Qatarlson for things like this, so I think Tulsi should be fine:
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/i-hate-him-passionately-tucker-carlson-unloads-on-trump-in-text-messages/
She was quoting the current official CIA position. What was she supposed to say? “But my opinion is that the official position is BS.”
Ratcliffe Has been surprisingly inneffective…What do they have on him? Or is he just one of the swamp dwellers?
I have always suspected the latter.
Could the answer be in the Epstein files? Would explain a lot of things.
He’s career DC which means he’s swamp.
Yes – what about Mr Ratcliffe????
Dan bongino and kash Patel
👀👀
Oh My!
From the suspiciousness of Ratcliffe in this article we might be referring to him in the future as Rat Cliffe or just Rat for short.
I thought first term Sundance said he was a Wolverine?
I doubt President Trump could have gotten anyone thru the confirmation process who wasn’t compromised.
If he is so inept, as some here allude to, why would VSPDT have appointed him to that position??
Praying someone from Trump’s trusted circle is reading this. 🙏🙏🙏
How do we know Tulsi saying there was no attempt to make Nukes was Trumps ploy to catch Iran with their pants down, which we did. Bibi did not go in alone, this was Trumps IDEA, create a FAKE RIFT, get Tulsi to say Iran is not attempting to create Nukes, and then put out the word Trump scolded Bibi, told him hell no he was not bombing Iran, and then refused to visit Israel when he visited the Middle East. All for one p-purpose, to catch Iran flat footed, they though there is NO WAY Bibi goes against Big Dog Trump, and THAT SUCKER thinks we are not trying to get Nukes, LOLOL. All the while Bibi had the go on day 61. BANK IT
There is no 4d chess. Heck, it isn’t even chess of any kind. The most these people on both sides can do is maybe play checkers. That’s what makes President Trump look so good most of the time.
But as anyone who has ever competed in sports knows, you can sometimes find yourself and your team playing down to the level of inferior opponents. And outside of Putin, inferior opponents is about all he’s up against.
It worked, and when he saw it worked he came out of the closet took and took credit. Now every other sucker will continue using their own perspective to predict Trump and on the ground results. Most of them have been wrong so far and there is a good reason for their failure. Their assumptions about Trump were incorrect to start with.
Wouldn’t surprise if the Republican DeceptiCon Senators told President Trump to pass the BBB Tulsi has to go, which do you want? JMO
Was thinking same.
It’s possible that PDJT might make that threat public so as to expose their corrupt duplicity to their voters.
I’ve seen that nasty look on his face and the sarcasm in his voice too many times over many years to know he was not
play acting.
I never understood why he hasn’t exposed blackmail on senators etc
He probably doesn’t have enough hard evidence that’s clear of investigations to reveal that publicly without compromising legal cases against the perps.
Well, President Trump continues to drill daily, without passage of the BBB, everybody’s taxes are going up 68% and other items of interest but the big catch is the 68% increase in taxes.
He’s not exaggerating or lying; Bessant has stated the same.
So, I suspect that one day, while he’s entertaining the presstitudes, with weaving in and out of his daily storyline, DNI Gabbard might be thrown into the mix and then the heads will turn and every liddle reporter and reporterette will be holding their breath and raising their hands to get their question in….
Yes. Much uncertainty exists at the moment.
It works both ways…pass the bill or else we have juicy dossiers on most of you takers.
Any takers?
Somehow I can’t see President Trump succumbing to that sort of rancid blackmail. That would go against his core of loyalty which has been the bedrock of every business relationship he has ever had.
Now if Kamalala were in the WH?
She’d fold like a cheap lawn chair and in record time.
Do a little research on president Trumps mentor Roy Cohn
He ran blackmail operations in New York
It is “urgent and important” to call out b-bondi, patel, ratcliffe and bongo for not returning the DOJ and the 3-letter agencies to Constitutional law & order by leaving in place the 5,000+ weaponizing, disloyal, treasonous, thugs in the DOJ and the 3-letter departments.
Removing the 5,000+ weaponizing, disloyal, treasonous, thugs in the DOJ and the 3-letter departments is as important as removing the 42,000,000 illegals from within our walls. Both represent a “clear and present” danger to America’s Constitutional Republic and Americans.
They are working against President Trump’s agenda, everyday of the week.
President Trump has already used several “work arounds” to temporarily solve the problem.
His supporters need to support him in those efforts.
Sundance has already explained why there is a short delay in major actions….. the BBB.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
July 4 has been the expected date for the BBB. And now it’s being put about by various senators and reps that that date is impossible. Delays, rewrites, lots of lip flapping, huffing and puffing about “muh principles”, more delays with no end in sight.
With this warning about Tulsi’s targeting. Machiavellian doesn’t even begin to describe the dangers ahead.
We’ve seen this movie.
Nothing changes with these malignant forces.
Sad state of affairs
Betsy jones,
Thanks for the comment.
President Trump and MAGA / America First haven’t hit anything that wasn’t expected. In fact, there were some things that could have materialized in the early months that didn’t happen.
Not to say there aren’t some significant challenges ahead. The democrat / RINO creeps in the house, senate and the judicial branch are troublemakers. And we still have some thugs in the Executive Branch who need to be fired, charged and prosecuted.
But, they are just a shell of what they were 4 years ago when they took their best shot while they were at their prime …….. they couldn’t stop him then, they sure aren’t going to stop him now when his MAGA / America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the majorities are gaining by leaps and bounds each month.
Yup, we all have to be on alert, be positive and be on the offensive ….. God and President Trump wouldn’t expect anything else from the MAGA / America First winning team. We have the winning line up and our bench is deep with talent.
Betsy, thanks for all that you do!
Bless you, dear Cactus.
MAGA IS our duty, as is our support of the man who decided to step up, work for us, and has been on the receiving end of constant malicious incoming ever since he announced ten years ago.
So we as MAGA must stay united, even as the forces attacking him try to divide us.
Here, I am sorry to say, and elsewhere on other sites’ comment sections, I am seeing quitters…those at the first sign of what they see as deviation from “what they voted for” are stepping back and off the train.
We elected a man we knew would be facing exactly the sort of opposition and sabotage from all quarters we’ve been witnessing since January 20, 2020 (especially, shamefully from our President’s own Party….which is despicable considering many in grifting fashion rode his coattails to victory in their own elections only to turn on him after).
Events beyond anyone’s control always intervene as now. We chose him to navigate and lead us safely to shore. With the Father’s hand on the tiller and all of us hanging together, we will need all hands on deck. I hope those who are peeling off will reconsider.
I want to say to those people “O ye of little faith…”
God did not bring President Trump this far to leave him, or us now.
Hanging tough, dear sir, along with you and the rest of our faithful friends in this treasured Tree 🇺🇸 Bet
McCain and the Obamacare nightmare comes to mind when the US Senate basically showed the voters that they do not care about anyone not in the big club.
Oh no kidding, Monti!
Add John Roberts, a traitor to the Constitution he swore to uphold, for redefining the question put before him.
Power and greed really are powerful aphrodisiacs.
It seems there is no one truly in our corner, safe for President Trump.
I still don’t trust Vance and uncertain about Rubio. Saying all the right things can be used as a tool to get close and gain trust. Which is exactly what a good saboteur would do. Infiltration.
I wonder who in the President’s orbit is playing the role of Wormtongue and is whispering in his ear to remove Tulsi or eliminate the office or roll it into the CIA?
I wonder if it’s Susie.
It seems she prefers people like her friend,
Pam Blondi – all talk, no action.
If Director Gabbard goes… then
AG Blondi
NEEDS to GO!
Yesterday!!!!
Directir Gabbard is worth 10 Blondis!!
(Or should I say,
‘Blind-ees’??? – cause she sure don’t see
nothin’.
I understand what you’re trying to convey but 10 * 0 = 0.
Haha!
Good one!
10 x zero… is still: Zero!!
The Pam-what-am!
Green eggs and ham!
She will eat them when on Fox!
She will eat them in a box!
Maybe with some lox!
Green with envy…
And what a ham!!
That’s all we can say for you,
Pam-What-Am!
Susie?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susie_Wiles
Wiles.
Chief of staff
Wiles
University of Maryland!? Trump should get rid of her, Susie, immediately.
My guess is sources close to the president withing the putrid brains of the MSM.
First off Gabbard’s position on nuclear war is Trumps. He has also warned about the idiots who see that as an option. Certainly Trunp’s position on the endless war society is clear.
Gabbard’s position on Iran and Impending nukes may come from 40 years of screaming wolf. The schism comes from Iran’s apparent enrichment of uranium beyond commercial uses.
For Gabbard to have made such a claim she has intel to suggest they are not enriching and we are being lied to or there is a game afoot
If she’s going to stand up to them, she needs to go all in on sunlight. Not leaks. Not rants. Real stuff with surgical transparency. Think of a legal, controlled document drop that burns no allies, but exposes just enough rot to terrify the people trying to silence her.
Don’t give them something they can spin or ignore. And she needs to do it while she still has the title, the clearance, and the authority.
Because once she’s gone, that window closes. And if she waits too long and tries to cut a deal, stall, or stay safe they’ll slam it shut on her fingers.
She knew it when she took the post. This is how DC fights wars (slow, dirty, quiet). But a war all the same. And if Tulsi Gabbard means to hold the line, then she needs to stand her post, sound the alarm, and follow the fifth general order to the letter: Quit your post only when properly relieved. And this ain’t it.
Everyone is being played! Here’s the PDF Document submitted to congress on 3/25/2025 when Tulsi testified. “Yellow” Journalism is still thriving today.
https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ATA-2025-Testimony-As-Prepared.pdf
Agree 100%!
Thank you for posting the assessment link.
Tulsi Gabbard didn’t say that which she is being accused of.
The IC ‘assessment’ is amazingly vague – why are the least mentioned nations (in column inches) in order, Ukraine, Israel and Iraq, exactly where all the activity is in real life? Seems an intentional tool for manipulation, subsequently used by both ‘sides’.
But why was it devised? And by whom?
And as a Brit, what the heck was Boris Johnson playing at when he interfered with the Ukraine/Russia peace deal being brokered in April/May 2022?
Oh how I pray that the whole truth is fully exposed, and all the player’s parts in it!
Tulsi isn’t the weak link. She’ll survive.
I don’t know ground truth, but among the circles of retired (very experienced warfighters) military I converse with, whether far left or died in the wool Trump supporters, they all believe Hegseth is in way over his head. He’s there for loyalty reasons.
But I digress. Tulsi has not embarrassed PDJT. There has been little political blowback. The other side of loyalty up is loyalty down.
I believe PDJT hires former members of the media like Hegseth to fight the propagandists in the MSM.
That was the current foxbusiness guy’s job in the first term. It keeps the media off the guys doing the real work. Not that fighting a CIA-controlled media is not real work.
That’s the single most important attribute for any cabinet member. If you don’t have that, you have nothing. And the actual “boots on the ground” seem to love him.
I doubt there will be any Gen. Millies with Hegseth at the helm.
Small potatoes compared to many other piece parts that combine to present the daunting challenge of running DoD.
Signal screwup notwithstanding, time will tell.
The single most important attribute for any cabinet member is to give the President what the cabinet member believes to be the best advice even if it’s not what the President wants to hear.
For the cabinet and the Prez.
For the warfighter or the worker bee on the corporate side of the Services – it’s a different matter. DoD is a huge empire with all sorts of backwaters.
Just relaying what I am hearing from retirees of different stripes. Kinda surprised me.
I think Hegseth is the wrong man for the job also. I find Him very disconcerting.
This isn’t about Hegseth, so why the comment? Blind loyalty can be bad, but loyalty is not a character flaw. Disloyalty, on the other hand, is a major character flaw. A person with honor would resign if they found that they had lost their loyalty.
If they are able to successfully do this vile thing maybe the Administration isn’t what we hoped for.
For this very reason I do NOT believe they will succeed.
I’m keeping my gold in the Bank of Trump.
President Trump of all people knows surely about targeting as he was relentlessly and criminally targeted for the whole of his first term.
Malignant forces haven’t altered their methods. They’ve simply cast their eye on Tulsi.
What information is he getting, from whom…or is any getting through at all to him? I’m thinking about the number of times reporters have asked questions about significant news when he has replied that he didn’t know. Startling in the extreme. At least it was to me.
Do we start looking at his gatekeeper whom he seems to trust without question…
I don’t know. I’m asking.
Dangerous dark waters.
I’m hoping that Rubio’s transformation from the Gang of Eight to loyal confidante is genuine and that he will see clearly what is happening…and do whatever he is able to make sure Tulsi stays right where she is.
Betsy,
Forgive me for saying this. As you have been a voice of reason, mainstay in the comments section for longer than me. (I’m not a mainstay, more of a hit and run kinda guy).
But to state a belief that there is some nefarious filter between PDJT and true intelligence sounds like one of those trolls we see here. You have never been a troll. But I am quite surprised by your comment.
I’m grasping, Footballfan.
And while I appreciate your initial words (thank you) I did not state there was a nefarious filter between President Trump and intelligence. Although given President Trump’s first term I think I would be forgiven for having absolutely no trust in the IC, aka the Deep State and suspecting there might very well be one. There are plenty previous members of his administration whom we now understand were not only completely faithless but traitorous as well.
So if Sundance sees fit to draw attention to this dangerous moment as he refers to it, I feel justified in asking questions and seeking opinions and answers for them.
I’m in the dark as everyone here.
But troll??
Really???
Oh dear…..
Well, if Betsy were a troll, that would be at least 10D chess in my book.
I don’t mean this to be disrespectful but what is your world view?
Like don’t believe in white hat black hat or that the government didn’t do operation paper clip and fill the government and intel agency with literal nazis?
Sundance, you are spot-on as usual. How can we best get your message here to the President? Do you have a back channel? Is there any way we Treepers can help?
Iran’s gunnin’ for the big bang?
Not-a-chance!
No tin-hat tyrant gets to monkey with atomic juice!
this is a red, white, and blue line in the sand! 💣🚫🇺🇸
So Vlad sez he’s happy to discuss peace initiatives with Zelensky as Trump implores Iran to discuss peace with his neighbors
DC REFUSES TO EVEN GO THERE because that’s what it means to be owned by The Cabal
Just imagine if K-Dawg was on one of those two planes outta Iran earlier today. I think it’s notable the missles continued to fly toward Israel, regardless, because it would indicate Dear Leader isn’t running jack-crap
Not sure if that was significant, but what I do know is that Khaddafi died a horrible death, and the CIA seems perfectly OK with the miserable prospect of presiding over other deaths of that caliber even if it means the planet combusts
Perfect theme song for the Senate.
I highly doubt he’s planning to get rid of tulsi. They’re making mountains out of molehills regarding Trumps comments of the intel assessment pertaining to Iran.
MMM: the Mountains out of Molehills Media is useless and dangerous.
Could Tulsi’s position not be ‘folded’ into the Space Force or Military? Then she just stays put…
Why?
Rather than ‘folding the position’ into the CIA. would piss off a lot of bad actors, IMHO.
In my day, we had the National Foreign Intelligence Board (NFIB) comprised of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Department of State, Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the National Security Agency (NSA); with other agencies like the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), Department of the Treasury, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), attending when needed. The head of the NFIB was the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) who was also the Director of the CIA. It was in 2004 that CIA’s dominance was challenged with the creation of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Sounds like The Swamp wants a return to the “good old days” and Tulsi is in the way.
On page 6 of 7, the first two paragraphs is what the “Yellow” Journalist/Media left out! https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ATA-2025-Testimony-As-Prepared.pdf
So in your jew hate warped mind “criminal” Israel dropped their guard on purpose on 10/7 but pre emtiveively attacking vowed enemy Iran is also “criminal”. In Harryhanover world you can have it both ways but not in the real world.
Why do facts equal Jew hate you you fallacy machine?
Facts are not the issue. In your warped world Jews are dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t.
You have no idea what my world view is and you have no good argument or you would be able to discuss ideas and history vs name calling
when “facts” are lies then one seeks the real agenda. When everything one posts becomes the joooooz did it then one is alerted. E.g. you are the example of JDS.
Please show me one lie I have ever said on this site
You constantly bend and distort simple facts and then play(?) dumb, the only question is, are you just a simpleton or a sponsored simpleton, in either case, posting incoherent simpleton nonsense.
Give me one example
I have provided links and facts and try to say when I’m stating my opinion
You on the other hand said palenstjnians overwhelmingly support hamas and used a neocon think tank to back up your claim
Please explain how Israel being the most sophisticated military and intelligence agency in history can pull off a crazy maneuver in Iran and not know some cavemen were planning an across border excercise. Not to mention the most surveilled border in the world and they stood down and took 10 hrs to respond.
It was a useful event for Bibi and the destruction of Gaza
Your Jew hate hangs in there like an Alabama tick.
😂
What Searkreb says is true. Many Israel’s have a lot to say regarding the stand down.
Exactly
He would have been thrown out by flash elections if he had not provoked more conflict
He was tremendously unpopular
If you’re ignorant, inform yourself.
What you and that moron Searkreb are doing is like blaming Pres. Trump for the efforts against him.
When Pelosi refused National Guard on Jan. 6, for example, that was Pres. Trump’s fault?
Of course not
That would be an example of outside attacks or influences
In his first term when he didn’t follow sundances advice and get true the vote working on voter fraud was that a good decision he made?
he will be investigated soon as war end..and probably rid off from office….
Quit being an antisemite. S/
Don’t waste your time on that fool, it’s like playing chess with a pigeon.
Again ad hominem
When you have a weak argument resort to name calling
Why is it “jew hate” to point out “Bibi is a snake” when Netenyahu has admitted on film more than once that he uses America all the time and that they (America) would never cross Israel? Why was one of the best intelligence agencies in the world (Mossad) completely surprised by a Hamas attack using flying bicycles? Harry is is asking of very pertinent questions. Hardly “jew hate “
In a world more complex than you live in more than two things can be true at the same time.
Israeli leaders can have desires that are not beneficial to us and Iran can have evil leaders
And the people of all three countries can be innocent bystanders Harmed by these actions
It would be very disloyal.
If I can state the obvious: given that WE are reading this, how is President Trump not being made aware of this situation and context?
I don’t say this to be a flamethrower of sorts. But…are we in denial about the magnitude of Mrs. Adelson’s contributions to candidate Trump?
The Democrat Party became so outrageous by the end of 2024, I believe Mr. Trump would have won anyway the rally attendance being a pretty strong metric. But…..there is the reality of all manner of vote fraud and the fact that they got away with the steal in 2020.
So, was Mr. Trump permitted to win for precisely this moment? Like I feel Steve Bannon recently said to Tucker, paraphrasing here, “Where did this thing come from all of a sudden? Why now? Just when deportations are more intensely being pursued. AND, on the 10 year anniversary of his coming down the escalator in 2015.”
These Iran strikes are an operation in many more ways than one, amongst which is that it is dividing MAGA.
CEO of China Harbor and Dredging, as they were blasting coral reefs to build atoll military installations in the South China Sea
“It wasn’t really in our grand plan to build these, but we found the Obama regime so vapid, so useless that we just said “Go” …”
China is Building Military Bases Disguised as Islands 😳🤯
He changed his mind on ICE going into hospitality ,agriculture because of the fact enormous backlash.
Suppose we all email him at http://www.whitehouse.gov/comment/
We need to overwhelm him with keeping Tulsi. Let him know why.
Mark Levin used to be like a record from a decent band with a few bad songs that you’d just pick the needle up and skip over, such as his shilling for Israel.
But almost his entire show these days is not about legal analysis or political philosophy and history. It’s wall to wall Israel and Iran and Gabbard is a target of his ire second only to Carlson. He can’t say her name without saying “imbecile”. So I would add to the topic that the attacks on her aren’t just coming from within DC.
Howling Mad Mark Levin, Captain Ahab on crack.
Screamer for short.
Ol’ Yeller.
What an act.
Can’t listen anymore.
Pure Zionist
For the falacists here that’s not Jew hate
Levin lost me forever years ago when he first started pushing non-natural born citizen Ted Cruz for president.
Mark Levin lost me when he called Bill Barr a good and honorable man. Bill Barr was (is) neither. Levin has no credibility therefore he is perfect for Fox.
It turns out that is not correct: MAGA will be solidly behind the President if he decides attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in in our national security interest. “A whopping 65% of “MAGA Republicans” would back strikes on Iran, compared to a paltry 19% opposed, which even eclipses the support for such military action among more traditional Republicans, according to a J.L. Partners survey shared exclusively with The Post. By contrast, self-described “traditional” Republicans would back strikes against Iran 51% to 28%. Meanwhile, Republican voters writ large would support the US government launching strikes on Iran by 58% to 25%, with 17% neutral or unsure, per the poll.” https://nypost.com/2025/06/18/us-news/maga-voters-overwhelmingly-support-us-strikes-on-iranian-military-poll/
Thank you for sharing truth.
I would suggest if more Protestants would study the history of the Scofield Bible this poll would be reversed.
LOL, you just cant help yourself
lol you’re right
I only say this from personal experience
America’s foreign wars always start off looking good, but quickly devolve into disaster. But maybe you’ve been asleep for the last 75 years.
Good thing this is Israel’s domestic war, and it’s going great, and President Trump’s help (with not interfering and also selling weapons to Israel) is greatly, loudly appreciated.
No one is Israel wants or said one word about US troops doing anything, the only request perhaps is for the US to drop one or two of those GBU-57A/B MOP from one of those B2 bombers (the only way to do it), and hopefully they actually work.
Good points and if a strike were conducted it would be a strategic bomb busting type, like was done in the Afghan mountains during his first term. The MOAB was dropped and MAGA people still voted for Pres Trump and many more came to him. I think MAGA will survive as a coalition, although they surely will grumble and will not beat any war drums. Clean drop and get back out “quickly”.
I have always loved and respected Tulsi. W e need to keep praying for her and Trump’s discernment here. And for Rubio also. We must keep this women a t T rumps side.
Ric has been plenty busy working on the Kennedy center project plus with the CA wildfire victims.
Off subject, if I may. Our soldiers, silent, boots on the ground, they all need our prayers.
Trump has to keep her in place, regardless of all the smears. Surely he sees through these attacks.
The senators think that Trump’s capital is exhausted. I stand by Trump.
Rather, the senators are a bunch of pedo freaks that are below dogs-t. They are scum.
I believe Trump sees it as SD sees it. They targeted him before. He knew he was reentering the lion’s den. He wears the armor of God. He has the wisdom of Solomon. MAGA has his back. Pray for our great President. If he falls, this country falls. There will be no coming back.
Can you/we write Vance and possibly Stephen Miller with your observations so that they can be passed on to PDJT without being bastardized by others around him who may be part of the Cabal? I purposely did not include Rubio because I personally am not convinced he is free and clear of the garbage he hobnobbed with while on the SSCI. I am not convinced about Vance either but feel he may be less consumed and trained in their attitudes and decision-making.
Jennifer Griffin and Peter Doocy on Fox kept squawking that Gabbard wasn’t invited to Camp David pre Iran invasion, sounded so bizarre singling one person out, what a couple of tools for the you know what
As I recall, Gabbard is also in the Reserves and she was on duty that weekend.
However, that FACT never came out until all the Faux Newz was blasted all over the country.
That was part of their plan …. get the lie out there early.
I trust POTUS 47.
Very, very different from his time as 45. And God saved his life last July for a reason.
For starters, the snakes have never been as exposed as they are today.
I remain confident.
To put my mind at ease and trying to live my best life I’m believing that these posts are read by the necessary people in and around Trump.
I wonder why it is so hard for Trump and crew to identify and neutralize the core rogue elements within the IC system.
Then she needs to straighten up and act like a real American. Being a protege of Tucker is not helping her. He acts like he is on drugs.
She is a real American. No dual citizenship.
Maybe PDJT put her into the position to go after the intel community rather than to be his top intel advisor. It would be odd to put someone unschooled into that role. If PDJT wants to be rid of her or the office I would not second guess him until I had a better handle on his perspective. He may be using appointments in positions differently than that of past presidents.
Personally, I take politico articles with a grain of salt.
I take Politico articles straight to the bird cage.
The hidden cry of the MAGA-lites within the Administration is to survive Trump because life beyond Trump for them promises to be rosy.
Who would be the people to remove her?
I would expect her boss, President Trump.
However, I really don’t believe that President Trump is naive or stupid.
He listens to anyone who comes to him; he’s a great listener. He also has great instincts and a strong mind’s eye.
President Trump is NOT easily fooled by anyone. Those closest to him, know that full well OR they learn quickly OR they go away.
