Tulsi Gabbard: Why it's time to leave the Democrat party behind
By D. Parker

Have you noticed the recent trend of true liberals leaving the left?  You’ll see it on Substack and other places.  People you would normally consider to be on the “left” side of the political spectrum have shifted, in a relative sense, toward the pro-freedom side.

It’s a case of the fringe far left leaving everyone else behind, as epitomized in the Elon Musk meme, which showed him in the same place on the political spectrum.  At the same time, the insane leftists moved off the scale.

The party that at least used to pretend to care about the middle class, fundamental freedoms, and individual rights has become the party of wealth redistribution — to the leftist ruling class — the destruction of the country, marching toward war, and rampant corruption.  Sadly enough, the Republicans are only marginally better, but were they to take advantage of the candidacy of President Trump instead of shying away from it like the Gutless Old Party, then we could succeed in blowing the “Democratic” party out of the water — for good.

Tulsi Gabbard is one of the more prominent examples, but there are many others of varying stature.  Her short video and voice-over make the case for leaving the Democratic Party:

A Massive Scandal Is Brewing in Los Angeles After DA George Gascon's Number 3 Is Charged With 11 Felonies

That sounds rather vanilla, but additional details on what Teran is alleged to have done demonstrate that there's nothing vanilla about it at all. It's more convoluted than any script Hollywood could come up with. At this time it's not clear specifically which peace officer files Teran has been charged with using improperly since the detailed criminal complaint was filed under seal, but the following information on her activities relating to personnel files has been provided to RedState by numerous sources in law enforcement, county government, and in Gascón's office:

Between 2014-18, as Constitutional Policing Advisor for LASD, Teran withheld exculpatory evidence from Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) investigations and findings, leading to the discipline and termination of deputies who should have been exonerated.

NOTE: Those deputies' personnel files would then contain inaccurate information about their actions, and could improperly taint cases they were involved in.

Starting in June 2018 Teran improperly accessed and downloaded the personnel files of then-candidate Villanueva and other LASD employees who supported his campaign, allegedly at Huntsman's direction.

The weekend before Villanueva was sworn in, according to sources, Huntsman sent Teran into the Sheriff's office with an external hard drive and instructions to gather additional personnel files.

After leaving LASD when Villanueva took office in late 2018, Teran went to work with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and eventually the LA County Public Defender's office, and sources close to the current investigation have told RedState that Teran added information from the personnel files to the Public Defender's database. (She is not charged with doing so currently, and we do not have independent verification of that.)

When Villanueva learned in early 2019 that personnel files had been improperly removed, he initiated an investigation into Teran and Huntsman; Huntsman aligned with anti-cop members of the LA County Board of Supervisors to shut it down.

Teran allegedly used information within one deputy's personnel file to charge him with domestic violence once she was working at the DA's office, just a few days before the statute of limitations would have run.

According to sources within Gascón's office, Teran uploaded the personnel file information into a database (likely the ORWITS database) at Gascón's office.

Teran used the information in these files when she headed up Gascón's re-investigation of officer-involved shootings and use-of-force incidents that had already been cleared under former DA Jackie Lacey, according to sources within Gascón's office, and Gascón was in the room with her when she did so. At least a few of those deputies were criminally charged.

I like cows. I use to love going to a dairy near me when I was a kid and seeing the cows being  milked.

As for bugs, the only one I like is Herbie.

Another domino has fallen.

Gold Prices are another canary in the coal mine:

Charles Payne had a gold hawk guest a couple of shows ago, that has their estimates at $3K by year end.   If that happens, we basically without internal currency cailbration, will have lost 75% of $USD evaluation, if and when you realize that Au is a fixed value, and currencies basically float accordingly.

This can perpetuate, as long as the rest of the world continues to buy into the $USD as reference currency.  Problem is....  There will be a point when the rest of the world gets fed up with poor U.S. fiscal policy, and an alternative is secured.  Au? BRICS?, etc.
When the $USD is shot down, saying it is going to get ugly will be a massive understatement.
