Twenty five years ago today, a 62 year old man with cancer in his bones walked 2,687 people out of the South Tower, and then he went back inside. Rick Rescorla was born in Hayle, Cornwall in 1939. British Parachute Regiment in Cyprus at 18. Colonial police in Northern Rhodesia. Then he came to America, enlisted in the US Army in 1963, and in November 1965 he went into the Ia Drang Valley as a platoon leader with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry. Hal Moore called him the best platoon leader he ever saw. His men called him Hard Core. He sang to them in the dark, Wild Colonial Boy in an Australian accent, because he had worked out that men who are singing are not men who are panicking. That is Rescorla on the cover of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, bayonet fixed. Thirty five years later he was head of security for Dean Witter, later Morgan Stanley, in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. In 1990 he brought in his old friend Dan Hill and the two of them walked the basement. He warned the Port Authority that the parking garage was wide open, that somebody could drive in a truck full of explosives, walk out and light it off. Nothing was done. Three years later the 1993 bomb went off about thirty feet from the spot he had flagged. After that he told Morgan Stanley the towers were still a target and the next attack would come out of the sky. He wanted the firm to leave Manhattan. The lease ran to 2006, so they stayed. Twenty two floors of the South Tower, roughly 2,700 people. So he drilled them. Every three months, everyone, no exceptions, down the stairwells two abreast while he stood there with a stopwatch. Traders pulling seven figures resented being marched down concrete stairs by a Cornishman with a clipboard. He kept doing it anyway. 8:46 a.m. The North Tower is hit. Port Authority comes over the South Tower loudspeakers and tells everyone the building is secure and to go back to their desks. Rescorla picks up a bullhorn and tells his people to get out. He phones Dan Hill. "The dumb sons of bitches told me not to evacuate. They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people out of here." 9:03 a.m. The second plane hits the South Tower, floors 77 through 85. His people are already in the stairwells, moving exactly the way they had been drilled, and Rescorla is on the bullhorn singing to them. Cornish songs. A version of Men of Harlech he had rewritten for Cornwall. Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming, can't you see their spearpoints gleaming. He called his wife Susan from the stairs. They had been married two and a half years, met jogging in New Jersey. He told her to stop crying, that he had to get these people out safely, and that if something happened to him he wanted her to know he had never been happier, that she made his life. Someone told him to get out. He said, as soon as I make sure everyone else is out. 2,687 Morgan Stanley employees went home that day. Thirteen did not, and four of those were Rescorla and the men who stayed in the building with him: Wesley Mercer, Jorge Velazquez, Godwin Forde. He was last seen on the 10th floor, walking up. The South Tower fell at 9:59. They never found him.

I NEED YOUR HELP - ACTION CALL AMERICA RETWEET THIS MEME. SHOW CAIR THEY DO NOT GET TO CANCEL AMERICANS. America, we failed Maggie Litz Domanowski. She posted a Peanuts cartoon. The sign said: “If you fear MAGA will take away women’s rights, then you should learn about Sharia law.” Maggie wrote two words above it: “Not wrong.” That is all she did! CAIR - a foreign-designated terrorist group - came after her for it. They ran a major pressure campaign - they demanded this mom of three and school board member delete the post, apologize, or resign. We were not there. They packed her school-board meeting. CAIR Maryland jihadi director Zainab Chaudry told the room Maggie’s statement was “not an apology” and demanded more from her.... This is the same Chaudry who, after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, posted that murdered Israeli babies were “fake” and compared Israel to the Nazis. Maryland put her on a hate-crime commission, suspended her, put her back, then took CAIR’s seat away. That is who and what they sent to scold a school-board mother over a cartoon. Then they made Maggie visit a mosque for “re-education.” Then local media (who sided with CAIR) filmed her apologizing and called it their big story. We left her alone. Not anymore. Retweet this meme. Say exactly what it said. Make CAIR look at it until they understand: You do not cancel Americans for telling the truth. You do not drag our people into mosques to apologize. You do not use the media to intimidate conservative women into silence. Maggie posted the truth. Share it. Show the terrorist group CAIR that they do not get to cancel anyone or push SHARIA blasphemy laws on our patriots!
BREAKING UPDATE: Shame on Every Conservative Who Left Her Alone in That Room "Foreign Terrorist Group" CAIR Stages Televised Struggle Session After Forcing Maryland Conservative School Board Member Through Mosque “Re-Education” The Left-wing Media called it their big story. Reporter Bryant Reed (@Reed_Reports) stood in Windsor Mill and presented a filmed confession as a friendly mosque visit. Here is what actually happened. Baltimore County school board member Maggie Litz Domanowski posted a Peanuts cartoon. Linus holding a sign: “If you fear MAGA will take away women’s rights, then you should learn about Sharia law.” She wrote, “Not wrong.” THAT IS IT! CAIR Maryland came after her. Take it down. Apologize. Reaffirm every student’s “equal dignity and safety”or resign. She pulled the meme. She tried to say she was not smearing every Muslim, that the record is Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Taliban. (Do you see it, America? She named Sharia, and they made the crime about one child’s feelings so no one would have to answer for Islam) BUT NO - THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH! At a packed board meeting, they tore that statement up. Removal was “welcome.” CAIR Maryland jihadi director Zainab Chaudry said the rest was “not an apology.” Criticizing foreign governments was not the point. Naming Sharia as a threat was the crime. Then they issued the price: a direct apology and a mosque visit. “If you refuse, then there should be consequences.” She broke in that room. “Hearing it from your voices and seeing your faces, I understand now. And I am truly sorry.” She accepted the mosque invitation. “I’m looking forward to understanding the Muslim community more than just Sharia [Islamic law]” That was confession one! Confession two was the mosque - and CBS put it on television. Islamic leaders toured her through the Islamic Society of Baltimore to make sure she “fully understood.” They sat her down for a “heart-to-heart about the damage.” They produced a 13-year-old to talk about bullying “because of her faith.” The cameras rolled. She apologized again. She hurt feelings. She did something wrong. “We all need to be a little bit nicer to each other.” She would take the “lessons” into the school year. Reed noted she is up for reelection in November. They broke a conservative woman for weeks. Then they strutted her out as the prize. That is a struggle session. Live. On American television. Did you NOTICE how the Dhimmi Reporter Bryant Reed did not mention that CAIR is a designated terrorist organization in Texas and Florida. He did not mention Zainab Chaudry - the same Chaudry who, after Hamas’s October 7 Islamic massacre, posted that reports of murdered Israeli babies were “fake” and compared Israel to the Nazis. Maryland put her on the state hate-crime commission, suspended her for those posts, then put her back because the law would not let the attorney general remove her. Lawmakers later stripped CAIR’s reserved seat from that commission. That is who extracted the confession. That is who CBS treated as the moral authority of Baltimore County. A foreign Islamic terrorist organization made her submit on U.S. soil. Local news filmed the re-education and called it healing. That is how a SHARIA blasphemy norm arrives here - not as a bill titled Sharia, but as a resignation threat, a packed meeting, a mosque tour, and a CBS package. Where is the women’s-rights machine? Silent. They will march over a cartoon about MAGA. They will not march over legal systems that veil, sequester, stone, and count a woman’s word and value as half. Domanowski has three children in Baltimore County schools. Last year her own board censured her for asking budget questions. The Maryland State Board of Education later reversed that censure as an “egregious abuse of discretion.” She knows the cost of that room. This time she paid it twice. Once for CAIR. Once for television. This only keeps working if conservatives allow this! 🚨 American conservatives: if CAIR is trying to break you, do not fold. Do not give them what they want. I will personally fight like hell for you. RAIR will fight back for you. We will NOT let you EVER stand alone! EVER! Shame on every well-funded conservative organization in this country for not rushing in to stand with this woman. Where Are You!? Organize around the next target before the apology is written. Show up at the meeting. Fund counsel. Call the board. Do not leave the next official alone in the room to be canceled on schedule and then displayed on the local news as proof the pressure worked. CAIR already knows the play. The rest of the right has to decide whether it will.

Only the rich can afford to be communists, or if you prefer, "Democratic Socialists." Grace Ryan, a 25-year-old chocolate heiress from Ohio, is the new poster girl for the communist gang. After attending the $35,000-a-year K-12 grade Columbus Academy she moved on to the $70,000-a-year New York University. Of course dorm life is not for nepo babies, so while attending NYU on her father's dime she lived in $3,170 a month Bushwick studio and spent $50/class for Pilates. In between her busy life as anything but a poor student, she has photos of herself taken next to a $115,000 Hummer and puffing a cigar on a boat while sporting a $400 Ralph Lauren stars-and-stripes sweater. For the love of all that's holy, the last thing she should be wearing is the American flag! I'mma seeing a trend here. Mamdani is rich. Hasan Piker is rich. Bernie Sanders is rich. Elizabeth Warren is Rich. El-Sayed is rich. Ro Khanna is Rich. I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

🚨𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗨𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗: Portland, OR (August 2nd) — Just hours before the historic Centennial Mills warehouse in NW Portland partially collapsed following a suspected arson, this alleged suspect—dressed in an inflatable frog costume—was filmed ranting about local developer 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝘁. Lindquist also happens to own the SW Macadam Avenue property leased to @ICEgov under @DHSgov. Quite a coincidence, don’t you think?

Oregon keeps burning — and it’s time to look hard at our wildfire policies. Before 1994, firefighters attacked fires head‑on. After the Colorado tragedy, strategy shifted to pullbacks, fire lines, and massive backburns. Now far more acreage burns. Cascade’s research is clear: decades of fuel buildup, federal limits, and hands‑off management turned our forests into tinder. Bigger budgets won’t fix that. Real safety comes from active management, not reactive burning.

If you’re choking on the smoke of Northwest wildfires like my family and I have been, the story only gets worse when you take a close look at the details. kptv.com/2026/07/28/grasshop… The “Grasshopper Fire”, for example…has torched at least 14-thousand acres of trees owned by all of us in the Mt Hood National Forest. The fire has forced at least dozens of people to flee from their homes. But the important thing you should know…the area was identified years ago as a danger and tagged for fuels reduction. And then, tree-huggers like Oregon Wild sued the Forest Service, and that delayed the work to clear those hazardous fuels and reduce the likelihood of fire. The American Forest Resource Council points out that Oregon Wild scored more than 50-thousand dollars for attorneys' fees. Bottom line, taxpayers who own the trees and want them protected paid the cash to keep the forest at risk. If you put it to citizens, how many would vote in favor of putting those shyster lawyers out on the fire lines with a shovel and a pulaski? I know I would. Instead, we’re funding their paychecks, while the trees we own go up in smoke.

🚨🚨Oregon🚨🚨 Do you ever wonder why Oregon’s COVID shutdowns were so harsh? I was thinking about it today while watching Fauci push vaccines door to door. On April 13, 2020, Oregon’s own U.S. Senator Ron Wyden posted this: “I have known Anthony Fauci for years and would trust my family’s health with him any day of the week. The American people need to know the facts. Donald Trump must not sideline this vital voice.” Kate Brown issued Executive Order 20-12 21 days before on March 23, 2020. This was the formal, legally enforceable statewide stay-at-home order that directed Oregonians to stay home except for essential activities and closed many non-essential businesses. Here’s the part that raises real questions for me: Public records show that both Wyden and Fauci were present at the same congressional hearing on December 4, 2019 — more than three months before Oregon’s shutdown. The hearing was titled “Flu Season: U.S. Public Health Preparedness and Response.” Fauci testified as a witness. Wyden spoke during the same session. Wyden has publicly said he has “known Anthony Fauci for years.” That December 2019 hearing is documented proof they were in the same room well before the pandemic response locked down Oregon. So the timeline looks like this: -December 4, 2019: Wyden and Fauci at the same hearing -First reported human cases of the virus in China on December 31, 2019 -The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States was identified on January 20, 2020 (returned from Wuhan) -Oregon’s first confirmed case of COVID-19 was identified on February 28, 2020 -March 23, 2020: Oregon’s formal stay-at-home order -April 13, 2020: Wyden publicly praises Fauci and says he would trust his family’s health to him How much did Wyden know BEFORE the shutdown that closed businesses, destroyed livelihoods, and put the state in near-total control of daily life? Oregon’s restrictions were some of the longer and stricter in the country. We, the people who lived through them deserve clear answers about the judgment and relationships of the officials who imposed them. #fauci #oregon @jeepfan1940 @benedtl nitter.net/RonWyden/status/124974…
I have known Anthony Fauci for years and would trust my family’s health with him any day of the week. The American people need to know the facts. Donald Trump must not sideline this vital voice.

How did a 10-year-old White British girl turn into a skinhead Neo-Nazi by 18, when she attempted to murder a Mohamed with an axe? She was sentenced to 19 years in prison last May. The official police story is that social media radicalized her. Or her contacts with Patriotic Alternative. The real story is that her family was made homeless, evicted, and denied shelter, and their belongings confiscated by the council. She spent three years from age 10 living in hotel rooms, whereas migrants jumping off the boat all got free housing. The government radicalized her, and then punished her for it. This is what happens when states attack their own people.
