The Enduring Mystery of Tulsi Gabbard: The 38-year-old presidential contender does not fit any “conventional” political profile. Edward-Isaac Dovere


The politicians and media don't know what to make of a real person, a person with strong conviction, a combat veteran and a person of honor. 

There aren't many of those around at the upper echelons of TPTB in America, where only money talks and the name of the game is power. "Sell, grandma?" "How much are you willing to pay?"

Disclosure: As a Vietnam era vet — naval officer serving on a ship in the Western Pacific 1964-1967, I support her non-interventionist position. She is the only candidate that puts foreign policy realism first, and the office of the presidency is chiefly about foreign policy formulation and execution. She is neither a Wilsonian internationalist nor a Jacksonian nationalist. She strikes a happy balance at the center of the spectrum, focusing realistically on national interest than than either isolationism or empire. She is for peace without being a "peacenik." Having seen war up close, I am all for that. While I would rather see her mission extended to opposing the apartheid Israeli regime, I also understand that opposition to or criticism of Israeli policy has replaced Social Security as the third rail of US politics.

Another cheap piece, with misinfo, Like saying Tulsi has 130,000 donors when she has 180,000 and his use of false and non contextual innuendo regarding the usual choreographed MSM Corporate media Talking points and narratives such as Assad, "Russia" , LGBT etc
