| Tulsi Gabbard: The Ideal National Intelligence Director |
| The article by And Magazine, ‘Why Tulsi Gabbard Is The One To Fix The DNI,’ highlights why Gabbard is uniquely qualified for the Director of National Intelligence. The creation of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was meant to unify the U.S. intelligence community in the wake of 9/11. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has since expanded into a cumbersome bureaucracy, from an original 100 staff members to a stunning 2,000, losing sight of its original mission. Amidst this backdrop, Tulsi Gabbard emerges as President Trump’s choice for DNI, bringing military experience and a clear vision for reform. Gabbard’s military service, spanning from Iraq to the Horn of Africa, has shaped her unique perspective on national security. Her firsthand combat experience has instilled in her a profound understanding of the human cost of war and the necessity for strategic clarity. Gabbard envisions a DNI that returns to its core mission of safeguarding national security through efficient intelligence coordination. She criticizes the bureaucratic bloat and the ODNI’s shift towards non-security-focused initiatives like DEI. Her time in uniform has taught her to question military engagements and the necessity of objective-driven policy to ensure that every operation has clear, achievable goals that serve U.S. interests without leading to endless, costly conflicts. She aims to overhaul the decision-making process to reflect these principles, focusing on results rather than rhetoric. Drawing from her experiences where lives were directly at stake, Gabbard advocates for a transparent intelligence apparatus. Her vision includes holding agencies accountable for their actions and reducing the layers of secrecy that often obscure effectiveness and integrity. Gabbard supports President Trump’s commitment to rooting out corruption within the intelligence community, which is essential to restoring public trust. Having served in combat for 22 years and in Congress for 8 years, Gabbard understands the necessity of a symbiotic relationship between military intelligence and civilian oversight. Her vision includes ensuring a collaborative environment where both sectors will work effectively without the current silos that lead to failures, miscommunication, and inefficiency. Her vision isn’t just about reform but about redefining what intelligence should mean in the service of the nation. By leveraging her unique blend of military service, legislative experience, and a critical eye on past policy failures, Gabbard can steer the ODNI back to its fundamental purpose: keeping America safe while ensuring its actions are effective and ethically sound. In her, there’s a beacon of hope for those who believe in a more coherent, less politicized approach to national security.Tulsi Gabbard is experiencing fierce resistance, primarily due to her open political party affiliation change to not just Republican but Ultra MAGA Republican. Tulsi Gabbard is facing fierce resistance, primarily due to her bold shift from the Democratic Party to not just Republican but MAGA Republican. This move has ruffled feathers, creating a whirlwind of opposition from the Left. Gabbard’s mission is clear: to fight for us by overhauling and restoring integrity and efficiency and focusing on our national security efforts. Let’s help her get confirmed to deliver on this critical mandate. |
