The Biography of Tulsi Gabbard by Ryan Richardson (2022) begins with a misleading title and a contradiction in the "Introduction." "The" biography leads the potential reader to believe that it is the definitive book on Gabbard when it is only the first and, as of this review,the only biography in book form of Tulsi. The reader should also note that the book is self-published and lists as references only Web pages. The contradiction is in the book's first sentence: "When you look at the life and career of politician Tulsi Gabbard, you see someone who isn't ever willing to sacrifice her position, her views, her beliefs." On the contrary, Gabbard changes her position again and again. To take only one example, in her youth, Tulsi was anti-LGBTQ but apologized for her earlier beliefs and sponsored pro-gay legislation when she was a Congresswoman. Nevertheless, despite its shortcomings, this book is the best biography in hard text form because it’s the only such book available to the date of this review. Moreover, the Richardson self-published book ended before Gabbard canceled her allegiance to the Democrats and registered as an Independent.
Among the main reasons Tulsi left the Democrat Party was because she thought that it had become a war-mongering party. Moreover, long before leaving the Democrats, Gabbard was critical of how her party handled foreign affairs. For example, she was skeptical of the party line that the Syrian President had used chemical weapons against the American-supported insurgents during the Syrian Civil War. Gabbard, ever the empiricist who needed to see for herself, decided to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. When she did so, she earned the enmity of uber-neohawk Hillary Clinton, who stated that the Russians were using her as an agent to support the Russian proxy war in Syria. After her Middle East fact-finding mission, Gabbard said that she thought Assad's possible use of gas against insurgents was a matter that the U.N. should settle as an international court. Later Tulsi came to suspect that liberal Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton, fellow Ivy League preppie Victoria Nuland, and the beloved by liberals everywhere, former president Hussein Obama, had been covertly waging a regime change campaign across Middle Eastern countries since the Arab Spring.
Other foreign policy actions which took place after Richardson published his biography on Tulsi include Gabbard criticizing the U.S. military's 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike (which killed high-level Iranian General Qasem Soleimani) as an act of war by President Trump and a violation of the U.S. Constitution, arguing that the President did not have congressional authorization for this act. In 2022, she blamed NATO and the Biden administration for not taking the possibility of Ukraine's joining NATO off the table, provoking the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. She also argued against economic sanctions on Russia because Americans would suffer from higher oil and gas prices. That same year she said media freedom in Russia is "not so different" from that in the United States, prompting the Security Service of Ukraine to place Gabbard on a list of public figures it claims to promote Russian propaganda.
On policies not related to foreign affairs, she shows equal independence from both Democrats and Republicans. For example, on drug policy and criminal justice reform, according to Wikipedia (retrieved 2/10/23), Gabbard has said that as President, she would "end the failed war on drugs, legalize marijuana, end cash bail, and ban private prisons." speaking against a "broken criminal justice system" that puts "people in prison for smoking marijuana" while allowing pharmaceutical corporations responsible for "opioid-related deaths of thousands to walk away scot-free with their coffers full."
Against mainstream Democrats, Gabbard supported increased border security and voted with Republicans to vet Iraqi and Syrian refugees. However, Gabbard also supported an easier path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, increasing skilled immigration and granting work visas to immigrants. Regarding healthcare, Gabbard supports a national healthcare insurance program that covers the uninsured and the underinsured, like the "socialist" plan in Australia. On environmental issues, Gabbard protested the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota in 2016 and has spoken in favor of a Green New Deal and its inclusion of nuclear energy. She advocates her own "Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act" ("OFF Act") to transition the United States to renewable energy.
Richardson tells us that Tulsi Gabbard was born on April 12, 1981, and nurtured by a Hindu religious guru, Chis Butler, who founded a small branch of Hinduism that claims to not contradict Christianity of Islam, whose followers are vegetarians and forbidden to gamble, drink alcohol, smoke, or have illicit sex. Gabbard is vegan and, as a Hindu, follows Gaudiya Vaishnavism. She describes herself as a karma yogi who reads the Bhagavad Gita as a spiritual guide. When she took the oath of office as a congresswoman, she used her copy which she gave to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the latter's visit to the United States in 2014.
Gabbard announced that she had left the Democratic Party In October 2022, citing Woke Democratics’ positions on foreign policy and social issues as the primary reasons for her departure. Her new platform to express her views was the Carlson Tucker show, where she soon became a paid commentator. She followed her declaration of independence from the Democrats by endorsing and campaigning for numerous Republican candidates in that year's midterm elections. On Carlson’s show, Gabbard repeatedly voiced her opposition to the U.S. involvement in the Ukrainian War, resulting in both Democrats and Republicans accusing her of being a Russian stooge. Hillary Clinton rehashed her vindictiveness on Gabbard when she questioned America's supporting the insurgents against the Syrian regime under Assad. Mitt Romney came close to calling Tulsi a traitor. That same year, the Security Service of Ukraine placed Gabbard on a list of public figures it alleges promoted Russian propaganda.
Liberal pundits have suggested that Gabbard was showing her true conservative colors by using Carlson as her platform or that Carlson was influencing her to become more conservative. On the other hand, Gabbard may be influencing Carlson to become more independent. For example, Carlson soon became more skeptical of the traditional Democratic and Republican reasons for our involvement in the Ukrainian War and is in lockstep with Gabbard's view on the industrial, military media complex.
Both political commentators believe that an oligarchical power elite from that complex, regardless of party affiliation, is running the United States and trying to impose their convoluted concept of freedom and democracy on the rest of the world. Gabbard urges that unless we wake up to resist the new elite oligarchy, which now includes the media and IT billionaires, who have no sense of honor, integrity, or even understanding, we will continue to be mesmerized by the shallow, self-serving secular worldview that keeps them in power.
Gabbard and Carlson believe that we must and will declare our independence from the Woke Democrats the sake of ourselves and the world. Resisting the neo-liberal oligarchy that controls the military, industrial, and media complex means thinking for ourselves and dictating our decisions and actions based on integrity, courage, and honor, values Tulsi acquired from her religious and military background and sadly lacking among today’s politicians.
We suggested that Gabbard might have influenced the conservative Carlson Tucker regarding his stance on the Ukrainian War. The same might be said about ultra-conservative Representative Marjorie Taylor Green, who told the Guardian that the US should pursue peace in Ukraine instead of funding the Nationalist cause. Steve Bannon said that any Republican who supported this “murderous war” should be “turfed out.” Loser Trump recently said that “there would not have been a war in Ukraine if he had been president after the last election.” The loser former President also said that if he were elected president “again,” he would end the Ukrainian War, supported by most Republicans immediately. When asked if the US should be fomenting regime change in Russia, he answered no, that a regime change should take place with the Biden administration, “who got us in this mess in the first place.” The Republicans are turning into the peace party while the Democrats have become the war hawks. However, the slogan under Thump, unlike that of the Vietnam protestors in the Sixties, which was “Peace and Love,” and Tulsi’s “peace, love and freedom,” the ex-presidents is “Peace, Fear and Hate .”
This discussion regarding Republicans who Gabbard may have influenced leads to the question of Tulsi’s impact on national politics and social issues in general. Regarding this question, we did a Google five-year (2018 -2023) trend analysis of three women in politics, Gabbard and two women who recently announced their intention to run for president in 2024, Republican Nikki Haley and Democrat Marianne Williamson. We used Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, as control. In our experiment, DeSantis received twice as many searches as Tulsi. Gabbard received twice as many hits as Haley and three times as many compared with Williamson. How Tulsi’s message/s will impact| the next two years up to the elections in 2024, remains to be seen. As Richardson concluded in his brief biography, “No one knows what’s next for Tulsi Gabbard, but one thing is certain: she is not done. Not by a long shot.” Meanwhile, I’ll predict that the Republicans will win the presidency in 2024, as the Woke Democrats refuse to wake from their war-mongering propaganda and disastrous policies regarding Ukraine.

Great American Patriot, Trump should promote her to General in the Army, then make her the Secretary of defense if he wins the presidency in 2024.
