New York Times: Tulsi Gabbard, Rising Democratic Star From Hawaii, Makes Mark on Party by Defying It
WASHINGTON — Between the chilly temperatures and the pace of the push-ups, there was plenty to complain about after eight lawmakers straggled into the park behind the Longworth House Office Building for their regular 6:30 a.m. workout.
While the others in the group griped and groaned on a recent Tuesday, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, 34, her Hindu prayer beads wrapped around a wrist for her daily yoga meditation, said little.
“Tulsi, you hearing a lot of whining?” asked Representative Markwayne Mullin, a burly Oklahoma Republican and former professional mixed martial arts fighter who leads the workouts, mocking the complaints of her companions.
“I’m feeling like whining,” she replied between push-ups.

WNU Editor: The above New York Times is a "puff - piece", but she is a staking a foreign policy position that I am sure that the elites in the both political parties are not supportive of (See above video). Kudos for her .... the U.S. definitely needs more people like her in Washington.
Hat Tip to RRH for the above Russian Insider link.

Totally beautiful--and with intelligence and conscience!
Wow!
But it is the Hillary that makes it to the top here in the US.
The US needs to back out of this horrible situation it has painted itself in Syria and Iraq--but they would require admitting that it has been strategically a failure and that the US doesn't have the ideological high ground in imagining and implementing path toward stability in the region.
And, yes, Russia does present a more clear-headed resolution of tensions and eventual stability.
That the US and allies can't admit they have failed in their imagination and goals is the current reality that we see at the moment.
Nice to see that the US can still produce exceptions to the ubiquitous stupidity, as with the congressperson for the 50th state to become part of our union of states.
God bless you for your efforts to focus sanity.
