America's first Samoan-Hindu congresswoman blows off government to shred!
United States Representative Tulsi Gabbard, from the fine state of Hawaii, got in trouble last week for missing an important hearing about veterans’ care. She is, herself, a vet having served two tours of duty in the Middle East. She is also a vocal critic of the way the U.S. military is being handled by the current administration.
Still, she missed the hearing, and got in trouble, because she was…………
Surfing!
That’s right, my darling keikis. Rep. Gabbard was out and absolutely ripping Waikiki’s bowls for a Yahoo! news segment called “Extreme Recess.” She says, “Literally every time I come home, my first stop is the ocean.” She’s got a proper duck dive, a proper paddle, a proper little shimmy. All that time in the ocean definitely is paying off. (Plus, she may or may not be sponsored by Rip Curl.)
Yet she is being taken to task for working on her surf game instead of fixing America’s broken social welfare system. Stupid.
And this is why the United States, and the rest of the world, for that matter, is in shambles. Priorities. I’ve sat through enough “hearings” in my life to know nothing ever gets done. People love to hear themselves talk and so they talk and talk and talk and talk and that is all. Neither minds nor realities are changed.
Hearings are as dull as they are pointless and, yes, Rep. Gabbard knows what’s what. Even though she may be on the left, politically, she also goes right with flair!
BeachGrit says “Surf on, dear Tulsi! Even if you loose your political seat, you will always be the representative of our hearts.”
She’s by far the most respectable, interesting, and beautiful member of congress. As a fellow Iraq vet I’ve followed her progress since she started being noticed politically.
I saw all this in local HI news…there was no foundation to the story at all. The local reporter who spun this non-story “story” was clearly on a trip to smear Tulsi. Luckily all the local people saw right through it and boy did the reporter and the small-time news site get slammed.
