🧵 6/6 Bob Hoover kept flying for decades. In 1985, at 63 years old, he flew his P-51 from Daytona Beach to Los Angeles in just 5 hours and 20 minutes, setting a coast to coast record. He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1988. Chuck Yeager would later describe Hoover as the greatest stick and rudder pilot he had ever seen. Hoover died on October 25, 2016. He was 94 years old. Think about the life between those dates. He flew dozens of combat missions. He was shot down. He spent almost 16 months as a POW. He escaped, stole an Fw-190 and flew himself to freedom. Then he came home and spent decades testing some of the fastest aircraft in existence and demonstrating a level of aircraft control that made him a legend among other pilots. The stolen German fighter wasn't the end of Bob Hoover's story. It was barely the beginning. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

"We will release names and addresses of covid positive people to the police" Amy Action.

I’m tired of hearings & “bombshell reports”. It all amounts to nothing if no one is ever held accountable.

Godspeed

Oct 2, 1803. Samuel Adams dies in Boston at 81. Probably the most important founder a lot of people only know from a beer label. Quick myth bust first: he wasn't a brewer. His father ran a malt house, and Sam worked in the family business for a while. He was bad at it. He was bad at most business, honestly. He blew through a big chunk of his inheritance, and as a Boston tax collector he fell so far behind on collections that he ended up owing the town money himself. What he was good at was politics. Maybe better than anyone in America. Through the 1760s and 1770s Adams organized Boston against Parliament. He worked the town meetings, wrote constantly for the newspapers under a pile of fake names, helped build the Committees of Correspondence that let the colonies coordinate with each other, and was right in the middle of the protests that ended with tea in the harbor in 1773. The British knew exactly who he was. When Gen. Thomas Gage offered a pardon to anyone in Massachusetts who would lay down their arms in June 1775, he left out exactly two men: Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Those were the two the redcoats marching to Lexington were hoping to catch. When Massachusetts sent him to the Continental Congress in 1774, he was so broke that friends chipped in to buy him a new suit, wig, and shoes so he wouldn't embarrass the colony in Philadelphia. He signed the Declaration of Independence, served in Congress through the war, and later became governor of Massachusetts. He died without much money, the way he'd lived. His second cousin John Adams, a president, outlived him by 23 years. But it was Sam who had been pushing for independence back when John was still a young lawyer defending British soldiers in court.

I approve this message.

Senator Kelly is all talk.  He said the only way to stop insider trading is to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. So yesterday, we gave him a chance to vote for that ban. He voted no.

A New York town banned our client from displaying a Nativity scene. Then it banned a second client’s “He is Risen” banner. Yet the town permitted a Ramadan banner – and other non-Christian displays. The town is openly discriminating against Christians. We have expanded our lawsuit against the town. Read more: aclj.pulse.ly/hqy6vqcibm

Hey Ro. This is your custom built mansion in McLean, VA. Looks like something out of the Great Gatsby.

If you sit out this election to "punish" Republicans, you are choosing to reward the same Democrats whose policies kill Americans like Laken Riley.

Well here’s a surprise.

I am delighted to be speaking tonight at the Ford Presidential Library in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Rage and the Republic at 6:30 pm. Here is the website for anyone interested in attending. fordlibrarymuseum.gov/events…

Not voting in November because Donald Trump is not a magic genie that makes all your wishes come true is the worst decision you can make.

When Lafayette was buried in Paris, his son covered the coffin with American dirt carried from Bunker Hill. He had wanted even more than that. On his farewell tour of America in 1824, Lafayette collected earth from every state he visited, planning to be buried in all of it. But the steamboat carrying it sank in the Ohio River, so he gathered soil from Bunker Hill instead and brought it safely home to France. He died in Paris in 1834. His son spread the American dirt over his grave exactly as he had wished. That son's name was Georges Washington de Lafayette. Decades earlier, while Lafayette sat in a foreign prison during the French Revolution, George Washington had taken in the boy and kept him safe in America. An American flag flies over his grave to this day. It never came down, not even when the Nazis held Paris. No one from another nation ever belonged to America the way Lafayette did.

The thing that never happens, happened again. Thank you @AndrewKolvet @TPUSA

How long before the MSM reports that the terrorist co-pilot suffered from a mental disorder or post partum depression?

No. No European leader has publicly condemned the attempted attack on the Flydubai flight carrying 174 people.

You can’t hate the BBC enough. With the story about this terrorist co-pilot that stabbed the pilot and planned to crash the FlyDubai flight. The BBC are only reporting it as “Israel’s far-right minister Ben Gvir SAYS it was a terrorist that wanted to crash the plane to kill Israelis” Not the fact it actually WAS a terrorist, or that the Israeli passengers STOPPED the terrorist, and passengers recorded a video stating it was a terrorist attack and also that every Israeli official and news outlet says it was a terrorist attack. They had to say that it’s only the “Far Right” Minister Ben Gvir (who they know is disliked) that claims it was a terrorist attack. And of course their actual headline calls it a “Flight fight” This is not journalism, this is whitewashing of terrorism from an Anti-Israel propaganda network. It seems whenever there is a terrorist attack against Jews, they cannot seem to say those words themselves. And of course they won’t admit that it was Jews that saved a plane full of innocent people either. The brave Israelis that stopped this terrorist attack saved 180 people on that plane. That’s fact. No wonder so many people want to cancel the BBC licence.

Sends a clear message
