Former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced she is joining the Republican party Tuesday night. Taking the stage before thousands in Greensboro, North Carolina, Gabbard cemented her conversion from Democrat to Republican. 'It is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party that I'm proud to stand here with you today and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party,' she proudly declared.

See, the GOP can be the big-tent party. It doesn’t need to be the elitist, Chamber-of-Commerce types who promote illegal immigration so that their companies can have cheap labor. The GOP can be the party of the common person. I thank God for that.

Interesting that she's not saying her values have changed. Rather, that the GOP has been transformed under Trump to better reflect those values and it'sokay for others to do the same. Might be good for a few votes.

I believe she is pro-abortion. Unless she changes her stance on that, she's not a true Republican.

A lot of party switching went on when Reagan became president. As for being a true Republican, I'm pro-choice within limits and I'm just as Republican as anyone else. Sometimes I get so tired of every single thing in the country being about abortion.

I can imagine her as Vance's running mate in 2028. Pres.Trump's Republican Party is Conservatives plus Reagan Democrats. There seems to have been a 90-degree rotation in the composition of political alignments... the Trumpians vs RINO's and Political Elite.

Gabbard has never denounced her Marxist beliefs, her pro-abortion stance, her anti-wall, anti-2A, or her leftist career voting record. Same with RFK Jr. People are wetting their pants over that clown, but he's the same left wing authoritarian that he's always been.

Good on Tulsi, she just corrected her one flaw. As for her past beliefs, when one is running for a democrat office, those positions are standard, you adopt them to keep from being rejected right out of the chute. I predict she will come around to the common sense positions on abortion, 2A and all of the other nonsense that democrats "believe in" to get elected.

Tulsi Gabbard is a very smart lady. She obviously can talk and think at the same time. Just as was the case with J.D. Vance, the first time I heard her speak at length, I was deeply impressed. As for changing parties, I recall another Democrat who switched and turned out pretty well...... Think his name was Reagan.

When I heard Tulsi speak I knew she was a woman of conviction and depth and wouldn't blow with the wind as Harris does. The Republican Party is big enough to include those who have different views but agree on the fundamentals of freedom of speech, censorship and our beloved Constitution as Tulsi does. Besides that she is a warrior.

Kamala Harris took the entire day off from the campaign trail on Tuesday to sit down for prerecorded interviews with NBC News and Telemundo. Harris’s interview with NBC News was a total dumpster fire and her interview with Telemundo was not any better. Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro asked Kamala Harris if she expects to get the results on election night. Harris once again said it may take more than one night to count ballots.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slammed over his 'entitled' questioning of Kamala Harris at a Pennsylvania town hall Wednesday. Harris faced questions on immigration, abortion and her performance as vice president during the event which was originally intended to become the second Harris-Trump debate. But some social media users claimed Cooper used his male privilege to talk down to the vice president. 'It is infuriating how a white male feels entitled to interrupt the Vice President while she tries to answer a freaking question. Looking at you @andersoncooper,' Aaron H. wrote.

TAPACHULA, Mexico — This town near the border of Guatemala holds a migrant time bomb ready to go off just after the US presidential election. The fuse was lit in December 2023, when the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration sent senior lieutenants to Mexico to work out the details of what remains a highly mysterious grand diplomatic bargain. Worried about what the optics of the southern border would do to their re-election chances — though not the migrant crisis itself — the White House wanted to stop the pictures of crowds of people gathered at the wall. The deal was to have Mexico deploy 32,500 troops to the US border to round up

Donald Trump surged ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris by 2% — as 52% of voters now approve of his past job as president while his Democratic opponent’s favorability rating took a hit, according to a new poll. Trump took a slight 47%-45% edge over Harris in a new Wall Street Journal poll — a four-point swing from an August survey in which she had a slight advantage over the 45th president. Both polls included third-party candidates. The most recent difference is still within the margin of error so Harris could actually be leading Trump, according to the Journal.

The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg highlighted Kelly’s claims, which he alleges happened more than four years ago. It’s a recycled claim from a 2022 book by New York Times reporter Peter Baker and New Yorker reporter Susan Glasser, titled “The Divider: Trump in the White House.” The pair wrote in the book that Trump had asked Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” The Atlantic hit piece also included a smear from unnamed sources that has been dismissed by on-the-record sources

Female athletes worldwide have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender-identifying male competitors who have intruded into women’s sports. “The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” the report said. Titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” the August study conducted by the United Nations found that by March 30, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 women’s division events across 29 different sports were defeated by transgender-identifying men. Male athletes have taken over 890 medals from female athletes, the report said.
