For Love of Country: Why it's time to leave the Democratic Party behind
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The following is excerpted from Tulsi Gabbard’s book “For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind” (Regnery Publishing), which is being released Tuesday, April 30.
We have no time to waste. We live in troubled times. Our nation is bitterly divided. Our future as a republic, as a union, appears bleak. The news – the noise, the insanity, the darkness – is something many of us want to shut out. There are times when all I want to do is grab my surfboard and paddle out into the ocean, or go for a hike in the mountains, and appreciate the peace and majesty of Mother Nature.
But there is too much at stake, in this moment, to put our heads in the sand and go about our lives with blinders on hoping the insanity will fade away. The insanity and threats to our constitutional democracy will not fade away and will only increase unless we stand up and remind those trying to destroy this country that ours is a government of, by, and for the people.

I joined the Democratic Party in Hawaii in 2002 because I saw a party that, at that time, appeared to be the party of the people, a party that valued free speech, welcoming all comers into a big tent where the sharing of diverse opinions and views on issues was encouraged. It
was a party that fought for civil liberties and rights, remembering how neighbors and friends were thrown in Japanese internment camps during World War II, their freedoms taken away in an instant. It was a party inspired by JFK and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who showed us what is possible when we as Americans come together.
“The party I joined over 20 years ago no longer exists today,” Tulsi Gabbard writes in her new book, “For Love of Country.”

The party I joined over 20 years ago no longer exists today.
I could no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party, which is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers fueled by cowardly wokeness who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-White racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, allow our borders to remain open while claiming they are “secure,” weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and, above all, drag us closer to nuclear war with each passing day.
I left the Democratic Party and became an Independent. For the sake of our country, peace, freedom and our hope for a prosperous future, I urge you to do the same.

As we look to the way ahead and how we will forge our path through the darkness and toward a brighter future for all Americans, the spirit of aloha serves as the torch that will guide us through.
What is aloha? While you may be familiar with “aloha” as a word often used as a greeting, it means so much more than that.
The word alo means to share, and ha refers to the eternal life force within each of us. Aloha recognizes that we are all connected in a spiritual sense, as children of God. Knowing this truth inspires how we should relate to each other and how we can come together to defend our God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution against those who seek to take them away.

While in this book I detail the reasons I left the Democrat Party, and the serious threat the Democrat elite pose to our freedom and democracy in this very moment, I recognize that the challenges we face in our political system and country are not limited to one political party.
Politicians from both political parties who are more interested in serving their own interests than in serving the needs of the American people have taken control of our country. They will not give up their power without a fight.

We live in the greatest country in the world, filled with potential for us to build a brighter future and a more perfect union where every American can live free, in peace, and with opportunity for prosperity… a future where we celebrate free speech and respect each other as children of God and as Americans, even if we disagree on an issue or policy.
This is the country our Founders envisioned for us, and it is my fervent hope that we come together, remembering the foundational principles that connect us Americans, to make that vision a reality. It’s up to us – all of us – to make it happen.
Will you join me?
Aloha.

Authorities on the Peninsula have arrested a man on probation on multiple charges after he allegedly stole copper wire from Caltrain tracks over the weekend.
According to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and volunteer pilots flying the sheriff’s office airplane were monitoring the tracks early Sunday. Authorities said they found a suspect actively removing cable from the tracks in South San Francisco.
In what deputies described as a “coordinated effort” which included help from South San Francisco police, deputies found the suspect and took him into custody. The suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Diego Sanchez-Palomares.
“The arrest highlights the effective use of technology and resources, including the Sheriff’s Office airplane, to detect crimes in progress,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
An investigation determined Sanchez-Palomares removed about 50 feet of cable from beneath the Caltrain tracks. Deputies also learned he was on probation.
Sanchez-Palomares was booked into the Maguire Correctional facility in Redwood City on multiple charges, including grand theft, receiving stolen property, conspiracy, tampering with a railroad and trespassing at a railroad facility.
Deputies said the cable was recovered by deputies. The estimated repair cost is about $5,000.
According to jail records, Sanchez-Palomares remains in custody as of Monday.
More than 400 consumers have filed complaints with the Division of Oil and Public Safety after a contaminated fuel mix was distributed to several gas stations across the Denver metro area last week.
Consumers quickly turned to social media and OPS for answers after learning that diesel fuel was mixed with regular unleaded gasoline and distributed to gas stations operated by Costco, Murphy Express and King Soopers. At least 13 King Soopers gas stations were affected.
State officials said the contaminated fuel originated from the HF Sinclair terminal in Henderson, and was then sent out to “numerous” gas stations. The fuel was distributed to the gas stations between 2 p.m. Wednesday and 6 a.m. Thursday.
“OPS continues to log and process these complaints,” the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment wrote in an email to The Post on Monday evening.
“Inspections and fuel sample testing remain ongoing with a focus on smaller locations that may not have as robust of a claims filing process. All retailers are being encouraged to honor customer claims.”
OPS said it has also requested that Sinclair produce a list of retailers that received the contaminated fuel from the HF Sinclair terminal in Henderson.
Sinclair has not yet produced such a list, but OPS said it is hopeful Sinclair will release a list in the coming days.
Consumers who have been impacted are encouraged to contact their point of sale to start a reimbursement process. Individual gas stations will work with each customer through their specific claims process.
Those affected are encouraged to keep all receipts and repair records.
To file a complaint, call 303-866-4967 or fill out a consumer complaint form and email it to cdle_oil_inspection@state.co.us.
King Soopers customers who believe they received the contaminated fuel should contact their local store for assistance.
“OPS continues to investigate the cause of the incident and is considering appropriate enforcement mechanisms available in current OPS rules and regulations,” CDLE further said in its statement.
“OPS remains committed to protecting consumers and is exploring all options to ensure Sinclair also upholds its commitment to help affected customers.”

Seattle named one of the most stressed, burned-out cities in the U.S. for work – MyNorthwest.com
Seattle is among the most stressed-out, burned-out, anxious cities when it comes to its employment, according to a new study.
According to a new study from Compare the Market, Seattle ranked No. 2 in the U.S. for work stress and burnout. Only Atlanta ranked higher.
“Seattle comes in at No. 2 for the USA, but despite having a much lower score than Atlanta, its higher population of 780,995 and 2,498 searches per 100,000 people around anxiety-related searches still make it a very anxious city, with a score of 76.06,” the study wrote.
In the past year, workers in Seattle searched for “stress relief” more than 4,990 times, according to the study.
In the U.S., San Francisco, Denver, Boston, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Kansas City, and Portland rounded out the top 10. Three cities in Canada — Victoria, London, Ontario, and Ottawa — ranked above Seattle for most work-related stress and anxiety. San Francisco was close behind Seattle in the study’s ranking.
Researchers studied search terms related to work, such as “work burnout,” “work depression,” “work stress,” and “how to deal with work stress,” across all U.S. cities, compiling them into a point scale.
“Reducing work stress starts with creating a healthier work environment, where balance and support are prioritised,” Compare the Market General Manager Steven Spicer. “Simple steps like regular breaks, open communication, and mindfulness can go a long way in easing anxiety.”
