Washington, DC, November 17, 2024 -- Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by President-elect Donald Trump has reignited unsubstantiated accusations from media outlets and political opponents, branding her a "Russian asset" and criticizing her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. However, a deeper examination of her record, historical precedent, and her targeting by the Biden administration reveals a troubling double standard and misuse of power.
Unfounded Accusations and Legal Precedent
Tulsi Gabbard’s 2017 meeting with Assad, while controversial, was part of a fact-finding mission aimed at exploring solutions to the Syrian civil war. As a sitting member of Congress, her actions were legal and well within her authority. Despite vocal criticism, she was never charged with any crimes and has already been confirmed by Congress for high-level roles in the past, demonstrating her credibility and commitment to service.
Targeted by the Biden Administration
Gabbard has been outspoken in her criticism of President Joe Biden’s policies, particularly on issues of censorship, foreign policy, and the weaponization of federal agencies. Following her public dissent, Gabbard revealed in 2023 that she was approached by federal air marshals who admitted they had been assigned to surveil her. According to the air marshals, this type of targeting was “happening a lot to Republicans.” Such actions have raised serious concerns about the Biden administration's use of government resources to monitor political opponents.
A History of Diplomatic Engagement
Critics of Gabbard’s meeting with Assad overlook the long-standing precedent of U.S. leaders engaging with controversial figures, often as part of broader diplomatic efforts:
Barack Obama: Held multiple meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, even as accusations of war crimes in Ukraine and Syria mounted.
Hillary Clinton: Met with Putin during her tenure as Secretary of State as part of the Obama administration’s “reset” policy with Russia.
Condoleezza Rice and John McCain: Both met with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in separate attempts to normalize relations or discuss military cooperation.
Donald Trump: As president, Trump engaged directly with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, an unprecedented diplomatic move despite Kim’s record of human rights abuses.
Domestic Leaders Accused of War Crimes
It’s worth noting that accusations of war crimes have also been directed at U.S. leaders, often by their political opponents:
Barack Obama: Some Democrats criticized Obama’s use of drone strikes in civilian areas, calling them violations of international law.
George W. Bush: Republicans, along with international critics, accused Bush of war crimes related to the Iraq War and torture practices under his administration.
These accusations underline how politically charged such terms can be and the importance of separating rhetoric from reality.
The "DeepState" Narrative
Gabbard’s experience with political targeting has amplified concerns about the influence of what many refer to as the "DeepState" — unelected bureaucrats and intelligence operatives allegedly acting in ways that undermine democracy. Her nomination challenges this entrenched power structure and serves as a litmus test for government accountability.
Tulsi Gabbard’s history of military service, bipartisan cooperation, and willingness to challenge entrenched power structures make her uniquely qualified for the role of DNI. The criticism she faces reflects more about the fear of systemic reform than her ability to lead.

Brooklyn Park, MN, June 14, 2025 — Authorities have now identified 57-year-old Vance Boulter as the suspect behind a deadly political attack in Minnesota that left one Democratic state lawmaker and her husband dead, and another lawmaker and his wife wounded. Law enforcement confirms Boulter was driving a fake police vehicle equipped with sirens, flashing lights, and wearing gear—including a badge and Taser—that mimicked a real officer’s uniform. Inside the vehicle, police recovered a chilling manifesto and a hit list of additional targets, along with flyers bearing the slogan “No Kings,” referencing the ongoing anti-Trump protests spreading nationwide.
The violence unfolded in the early morning hours when police were called around 2:00 a.m. to the home of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, both of whom had been shot. Officers then made a precautionary check on former House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who lived nearby. There, they encountered a police SUV in the driveway—only to ...
D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), June 12, 2025 — In a fiery response to the “No Kings” protests set to erupt nationwide during this weekend’s 250th U.S. Army birthday parade — an event that also marks his 79th birthday — President Trump shrugged off accusations of authoritarianism and offered a blunt reminder of the daily battles he faces to get anything done in Washington.
“I don’t feel like a king; I have to go through hell to get stuff approved,” Trump said, laughing off the protest movement’s core claim. “A king doesn’t have to call up Mike Johnson or John Thune to get something passed. A king just says it, and it’s done. But me? I’ve been wrangling with this California madness for years.”
The president was referencing his recent signature on a congressional resolution nullifying California’s sweeping ban on new gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035 — a rule originally greenlit by the Biden administration. California has already pledged legal retaliation.

D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), June 10, 2025 — Shocking new revelations have emerged about the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump nearly one year ago at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A bombshell Fox News report reveals The New York Times has published disturbing new details about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old whose descent into radicalized violence appears to have been months in the making — all while the FBI remains tight-lipped, leaving victims' families and the public demanding answers.
Alexis McAdams, reporting out of New York, described the new footage obtained by the Times as “terrifying,” showing Crooks calmly introducing himself on video as someone with a passion for “creating, building, and cooking with family.” Yet, behind that soft-spoken persona, federal investigators say he was secretly plotting one of the most audacious political assassinations in modern U.S. history.
Crooks’ family reportedly told law enforcement he had been ...
Washington, D.C., May 29, 2025 — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ignited a political firestorm Thursday after declaring that former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was “complicit in the cover-up” of Joe Biden’s health crisis during his 2024 presidential campaign. Speaking at a packed White House briefing, Leavitt suggested Dr. Biden should face congressional testimony—and possibly criminal charges—for allegedly shielding the public from the truth about her husband's mental and physical deterioration.
The comments come just hours after a senior Justice Department official told reporters that Dr. Biden may have committed “elder abuse” by knowingly hiding the extent of President Biden’s cognitive and physical decline. That official emphasized that failing to disclose such health issues—while propping up a sitting president seeking reelection—could carry serious legal consequences.
When Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked whether ...
D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), May 29, 2025 — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino launched a fiery rebuke against disgraced former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday, calling him a “child” and a “disgrace to the badge” for triggering a wave of copycat threats stemming from his now-infamous “8647” Instagram post—a number widely interpreted as code for “86” Trump. Bongino blamed Comey for forcing the FBI to divert resources from real threats like child predators and drug traffickers, calling it a shameful distraction orchestrated by an emotionally unstable man still profiting off his tenure.
The post in question, which showed shells arranged in the numbers “8647,” was deleted after public backlash and bipartisan outrage. However, the damage was done. According to current FBI Director Kash Patel, agents across the country are now flooded with leads from individuals mimicking the number in potential threats against President Trump.

Quantico, VA, May 28, 2025 — In a nationally televised interview from FBI headquarters in Quantico, Director Kash Patel pledged full disclosure in the investigation into the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump, promising Americans: “You're going to know everything we know.”
The statement, delivered during an exclusive appearance on Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier, comes amid growing skepticism over the official narrative. President Trump himself recently questioned the findings, saying from the Middle East, “It’s a little hard to believe, to be honest with you.”
“We Don’t Feel the American People Have Been Given the Information They Need”
Patel acknowledged that significant gaps remain in public knowledge surrounding the attempted assassination at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack left Trump bloodied and supporter Corey Comperatore dead, with the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed by...
