Yesterday Matt Taibbi, the red-pilled former “Rolling Stone” reporter who turned against the Axis (that’s the Axis of Unethical Conduct, or AUC: “the resistance,” the Democratic Party, and the mainstream media) when he realized he was working for the bad guys, revealed what should be a “Holy crap!” story about former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
She has been targeted by the Biden Administration as a potential terrorist, placed on a no-fly list, and harassed at multiple airports. Coincidentally <cough> this came just a few weeks after Gabbard again criticized the current regime’s conduct and rhetoric.
Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC that Gabbard was tagged as a terror threat under the “Quiet Skies” program. The former Hawaii congresswoman and Democratic Presidential candidate in 2020 (she lasted longer than Kamala Harris!) was trying to return home with her husband from abroad but was harassed by the TSA and Air Marshals in one airport after another, on a flight from Rome to Dallas, a connecting flight to Austin, and later on flights to Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta. The boarding passes for her and her spouse were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” Gabbard and her husband were subjected to extensive “random” searches, some of which lasted 45 minutes.
An agent told Gabbard that some supporters of President Trump were now “marked quad-S every time they traveled,” Gabbard says. Read the whole account. The “Quiet Skies” program predates the Biden administration, but there has never been any evidence of it being used to punish political adversaries before.
Two TSA whistleblowers revealed that Gabbard was placed on the watch list on July 23rd. Teams of Air Marshals began following her on flights two days later. Surveillance occureed on at least eight flights: the “Quiet Skies”program surrounds tagged fliers with “human watchers.”
Gabbard, as you might expect, is just a bit ticked off. “This is not a woe-is-me situation,” she told Taibbi. “It’s bringing to the forefront… how brazen the political retaliation and abuse of power continues to be under the Biden-Harris administration.”
“I enlisted because of the terrorist attack on 9/11,” Gabbard said. “I was like a lot of Americans. We enlisted to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people and go after the terrorists who attacked us. And so now to have confirmation…I guarantee there are other men and women in uniform or veterans now being targeted.”
“I can’t think of a word that adequately captures how I feel. The closest I can think of is the deepest sense of betrayal,” Gabbard. “It cuts to the core…I’m going to be encouraging former colleagues of mine in Congress who I know are concerned about this to exercise their oversight authorities,” she told Taibbi.
“These actions are those of a tyrannical dictator. There’s no other way to describe what they’re doing.”
Sure there is. They are protecting democracy against their opposition to save America!
The first thing I did when I read the article was to check to see if any mainstream news platform was reporting the story. Not as of 8:44 am, E.S.T. The Daily Mail has it, but why wouldn’t a British tabloid be quicker to report the Democrats’ totalitarian ways than our own journalists? The Daily Signal, a conservative website reported the story; also American Military News. The first mentions of Gabbard I could find from the Biden Big Brother allies were telling: USA Today’s “Tulsi Gabbard has shed her old Democratic policy stances. Is it a push to serve with Donald Trump?”; Yahoo! linking to The Independent’s “Tulsi Gabbard pitches a new role for herself: Trump’s defense secretary,” and a New York Times hit piece about how Gabbard said she would be “honored” to be Trump’s running mate.

Yes, I heard about this a day or two ago in the form that a “whistleblower” had revealed that Gabbard was on the terror watch list. I heard nothing more about it until this post. Frankly, I stopped watching news in general but you’d still expect to see more headlines even as a casual observer of news.
Then they are still pushing the “bloodbath” narrative about Trump. Biden feels there won’t be a smooth transition of power if Trump loses – am I crazy? – there is no transition of power if Trump loses in November.
“US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
In his first interview since he dramatically dropped out of the race last month, Mr Biden told CBS News: “If Trump loses, I’m not confident at all.”
“[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.””
It’s clear to me which party is a threat to democracy.
The question is: why isn’t it clear to everyone?
It is. There are just a lot of people who want tyranny. Look at all the homeowner’s association. They always devolve to busybodies trying to use the association’s money for their own pet projects or benefit and push people around for their own sense of power. That, in a nutshell, is the Democratic Party today. Republicans generally want to be left alone, Democrats generally want to push people around. Look at Harris and Walz, they are Marxists, as most of the Democrats are. Marxism is a tyrannical ideology.
Democrats tend to be elitists. They think they are smarter than everyone else, know better than everyone else, and therefore they are entitled to tell everyone else how to be. Have you ever noticed how Democrats look down on the poor, people in the midwest, Republicans, and minorities? I do wonder if minorities think all white people are white supremacists because they only know elitist white liberals. I know it seems ridiculous when an elementary school teacher scoffs at a Ph.D. physicist’s view of global warming as ‘uninformed’, but a lack of self-awareness also seems to be a trait of Democrats (see the ‘weird’ phenomenon). It is also amusing that they all think that when the Democrats finally take over, their contributions will be noted and rewarded with some lofty position somehow.
Since Democrats believe they are better than everyone else, they believe that everyone else is worse than them. This is why the supporters of Harvey Weinstein thought that Republicans were super sexist and misogynistic. I mean, here is Harvey, the great feminist supporter of women and he rapes women for movie roles. Think of how bad the Republicans must be! This is why they always accuse Trump of trying to turn women in to Axolotl tanks, end elections, etc. They believe this because they believe Trump is worse than they are and THEY want to do these things. Democrats import foreigners to harvest their votes to win elections, alter ballots, rig primaries, install candidates without primaries, etc, so imagine what the evil Donald Trump must be planning. That is why the saying ‘Always accuse your opponent of what you are doing’ is the prime directive of the Democratic Party.
What is funny is that I believe that Donald Trump only ran as a Republican because he knew the Democratic Party primaries were rigged. He knew he only had a chance as a Republican because the Republican primary mainly depended on the voters, no matter how much the RNC wishes it wasn’t.
“…they WANT to do these things?” I might disagree and respond with “they ARE doing these things.”
And as for your last paragraph, any wonder as to why RFK, Jr switched from Democrat to Independent?
The evidence is right in front of everyone.
Actually, Biden had started with “If Trump wins, I’m not confident at all” before correcting himself. Obviously, he misspoke, but if Trump had made such a gaffe, the gaffe would have been the story. As it is, many news outlets simply pretended it didn’t happen.
More evidence he’s a babbling idiot. But, as the Dems are wont to say, “There’s no evidence!” that he’s demented.
Nope. Joe has always been a babbling idiot. Always. The first debate of this cycle merely laid bare for all to that Joe is mentally compromised and the “well, it was bit of an off night for Ol’ Joe” did not work with the population they needed to win the election.

Gosh. This sounds like the kind of thing the founders would have added to the list of causes at the bottom of the Declaration of Independence.
And here we are politely letting the dictators take over.
So, they’re using taxpayer money to buy four tickets for air marshals to watch her fly? What kind of thought process is this a product of? What’s the objective? They want her to think, “Gee, these people are following me and patting me down and putting me in a linoleum floored room. Maybe I shouldn’t work in the Trump administration after all?” Is this what happens to lawyers who go to work for Trump? They get a visit from some gum shoes? Government employees are okay with doing this stuff? And these are the same people who are supposed to combat organized crime?
Yes, the police are OK with this. All who aren’t have been pushed out of government service. With the defund police initiative, one of the major groups who still want to be officers are the bullies.
