What exactly are you referring to when you say Tulsi "exposed Fauci and the deep state"?
I've actually read the documents she declassified. If you've followed the congressional hearings, intelligence reviews, and Fauci testimony over the last several years, there is very little that's new in Tulsi's supposed "bombshell" release.
What's interesting is that many people are now using these document releases to dismiss the recent WaPo reporting about Tulsi as a "hit piece" because she supposedly exposed some massive scandal.
But what exactly did she expose?
The COVID documents basically show:
• Researchers believed all the necessary conditions for an accidental release of a lab-modified coronavirus existed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
• Because of that, a lab-related origin was being seriously considered alongside the natural spillover theory.
• U.S.-funded EcoHealth Alliance research involved collaboration with Wuhan researchers studying bat coronaviruses.
THAT'S IT.
Now, the government was definitely too quick to publicly dismiss the lab-leak hypothesis in 2020. The government also should NOT have been pressuring social media companies to suppress certain COVID-related content. That is exactly why so many people became convinced there was a massive conspiracy & that their government was lying to them.
Never again.
Importantly, though, these documents do NOT show that officials secretly knew COVID came from a lab. They do NOT show that scientists had proof of a lab leak and buried it. They do NOT show a coordinated coverup, despite the way the accompanying press release was written.
The documents show scientists & intelligence analysts debating competing hypotheses in real time while dealing with incomplete information. Pretty normal stuff, actually.
There is no smoking gun. No proof of engineering. No proof of a cover-up. No proof that COVID originated from a lab leak.
The conclusion remains exactly where it's been for years:
• A lab leak remains plausible.
• Natural spillover remains plausible.
• We still don't know.
And six years later, we may never know.
So if you think Tulsi revealed some earth-shattering new fact, tell me specifically what it was.
What new information did you learn from these documents that wasn't already public? Because I've read them, and I'm not seeing it.
WOW!! JD Vance got the Iranians to AGREE to the SAME thing we had under OBAMA in the agreement that TRUMP pulled out of!
All it took was months of war, 300 billion to Iran, and one of the biggest US capitulations in history.
ART OF THE DEAL, BABY!!
South African citizens support US sanctions against @MbalulaFikile and @CyrilRamaphosa and their FAMILIES.
If our criminal justice system in South Africa no longer works we should support US & international law enforcement agencies against the corrupt ANC comrades.
Simple.
In Europe and other civilised countries, politicians resign amid pressure, wrongdoing and corruption. In Africa they cling to power like shit to a wool blanket. No shame these black politicians, and their supporters can't find any fault with them even if the fukkers are the ones suffering from the corruption and theft by these ANC bastards. Africa will forever and ever be the beggars of the world, because of their fookeup mentality
@ICJ_Africa International human rights law obligations are not afforded to illegal immigrants. They are entitled to due process and deportation.
That is their only entitlement.
President Cyril Ramaphosa told young people that the new Ekurhuleni University will have its first intake next year. However, this university does not exist.

🚨 ANC FORMER MINISTER ASKS THE QUESTION MANY ARE ASKING... 🤔
Former Home Affairs Minister and former Finance Minister Melusi Gigaba says he wonders why immigration protests are mainly focused on Black African brothers and sisters and argues that this needs to change.
Fair question.
But many South Africans will also be wondering: who was in charge of immigration policy, border management and Home Affairs for years?
It's difficult to act surprised by a problem today when you occupied one of the most powerful offices responsible for managing it yesterday.
If the system was failing, if documentation backlogs existed, if borders were porous and if tensions were building, surely those issues didn't start overnight.
South Africans deserve honest conversations about immigration, border management and xenophobia, but they also deserve accountability from leaders who were in positions to influence those very issues.
Sometimes the question isn't just "Why are we here?"
It's also "How did we get here?" 🇿🇦
"I did not join the struggle to be poor."
— Smuts Ngonyama, Former ANC Spokesperson.
The ANC cadre truly said the quiet part out loud when he made his infamous declaration.
This single quote perfectly exposes the transactional nature of the political elite. For them, liberation was never about creating a prosperous nation, growing the economy, or lifting millions of citizens out of poverty. It was simply a vehicle for personal enrichment.
When the ANC took power, government packages and diplomatic perks already guaranteed an incredibly comfortable life. But for cadres like Ngonyama, that wasn't enough.
The billions from state backed Telkom deals proved that legal Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) was never meant to empower the black majority, it was just a gateway to pure, unadulterated greed.
The moment a lucrative, state tied telecom deal appeared on the horizon, the ideals of freedom and equality were instantly traded for corporate shares and fat pockets.
Ngonyama pocketed hundreds of millions from state telecom shares while South Africa's public infrastructure collapsed.
Generous state salaries weren't enough, the ANC cadres simply wanted it all.
The Youth can't find work, have no money and we have actual kids starving in this country.
Our ministers solution?

It's the quintessential, Let them eat Cake, moment.
Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.
The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.
Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.
Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....
