Tulsi Gabbard: Another Lesser Evilist Offering

On 20 June 2025, Galloway spoke about his dream team for the next presidential race: "Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, president and vice president of the United States of America."


He advised Gabbard to "resign if Trump joins the war and should make plain that she intends to run for president." She hasn't.


Given the public rebukes of her by Donald Trump, speculation had emerged of her doing just that: resigning. However, Gabbard has instead attempted to win her way back into Trump's good book.

Will Trump Continue Seeking War? If So, Here’s Why.

In 1938, five years into Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “New Deal,” the US remained mired in the depths of a “Great Depression.” Real income still hadn’t regained its 1929 level.
