Campaign to smear
Gabbard is ‘shameful’
The newspaper campaign to smear former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is shameful beyond measure.
In Congress, Gabbard did our state proud. She’s been transparent, dedicated and courageous representing the people and defending the Constitution. Throughout the travails of the Obama administration and its desecration of the people’s trust, she and Dennis Kucinich courageously investigated and exposed the deep state conspiracy to topple the Syrian government by arming mercenaries.
In the Trump administration that followed, Gabbard distinguished herself by calling out the disingenuous statements by the State Department claiming foul play and surreptitiously manufacturing evidence and counterfeiting reports to cast guilt on the Syrian government.
Challenged by a worldwide pandemic, Gabbard used her experience in the National Guard to marshal the very best the people of Hawaii could offer to respond effectively. While many in the media and corporate America panicked or worse, Gabbard kept her cool, parsing this convoluted narrative and speaking truth to power.
She refused to be bullied by the Democratic Party and voted present instead of for or against the presidential impeachment bill, compromised as it was by the big lie of Russian-gate. Having courageously resigned from the DNC to protest its conspiracy to sink the 2016 Sanders primary bid, Gabbard was deemed persona non grata by the Democratic Party establishment.
In spite of this, she mounted a vigorous and pono campaign to represent the American people as the 2020 Democratic nominee for president. The Democratic Party and its sycophants projected their proclivities on Gabbard, attempting to smear and defame her well-deserved popularity. That the Hawaii media participates in this travesty is sickening.
Gabbard deserves the highest praise as a stalwart example of the very best the United States of America has to offer. Any responsibility she is entrusted with will make our people proud.

What to do with the
museum’s collections?
Regarding the fate of the Pacific Tsunami Museum, how about at least a temporary partnership with the Hilo Public Library to put on display some of the museum’s collections, and or a partnership with the University of Hawaii at Hilo?
