On September 11 2001, doctors gave Brian Birdwell a one percent chance of survival after he had been engulfed in flames at the Pentagon.
But the Lord had other plans.
After 40 surgeries, Brian recovered and went on to serve 16 years in the Texas Senate. Yesterday, in a full circle moment, Leyla and I joined him and a close group of family and friends in the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes as he was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of War.
After the swearing in ceremony, Brian walked us over to the spot where he had stood as the 757 struck the building, less than 20 yards away. Isaiah 61:3 says the Lord will give beauty for ashes. What a wonderful example of that we saw yesterday.
Of course @HQNewsNow dishonestly stripped out the full context. The VP is actually sharing what his Mamaw’s advice would be to him.
“Don’t become entitled about this. Recognize it’s cool, it’s a blessing… she would also make sure that I didn’t get too big for my britches.”
Novak Djokovic walks off Centre Court at Wimbledon to a huge applause.
39 years old and still battling against the best players in the world.
I don’t think there’s a person in the world who doesn’t respect the work ethic & passion he has.

Pentagon lifts suspension of South Carolina Apache pilots involved in America 250 flyover.
"Effective immediately, the suspension of all involved South Carolina pilots has been lifted."
"Carry on Patriots."
I just got SCAMMED: a remarkably sophisticated phone scam that nearly had me pull the entire entirety of funds out of one bank account. Watch to see how it unfolded. And how dangerous it might possibly have been.
Huge shout out to the @lapdhq and the folks at the @bankofamerica branch where I bank for helping me avert a potentially dangerous disaster.
Can we calm down for a moment? The FWPD clearly has a huge training problem in this matter, and that is where the responsibility lies. I believe these officers are following bad guidance. Let’s fix that.
I don’t want to hear one more word of whining from Platner blaming party bosses or corporate media for his plight. If the charges are false, he should gut up and stay in, and give voters the power to settle this. That would be on brand for him. An exit looks like guilt.
No sale. If he is able to hold all of these coherent conversations with countless people on a variety of subjects, we can at least have an audio recording of him completing a couple of sentences. This situation is completely unacceptable.
Trooper Michael Pahira's death was 100% preventable.
A Pennsylvania State Trooper — a 20-year veteran — was struck and killed on I-81 while conducting a routine commercial vehicle inspection. The driver? Michael Bon, a Haitian illegal alien who entered under Biden parole, had his status terminated, yet got a Massachusetts commercial driver's license.
This is outrageous. We need smart, targeted immigration enforcement at weigh stations nationwide — proper checks on CDL holders and immigration status. Several states have shredded public trust by handing commercial licenses to illegal aliens, putting every driver and cop at risk.
No more preventable tragedies. Secure the roads. Enforce the law & Pass Dalilah’s Law
