Remembering Jeremy Glick.
He was 31, a judo champion, a rugby captain, a new father.
He married his high-school sweetheart, Lyz.
Their daughter, Emerson, was twelve weeks old.
He was supposed to fly the day before.
On September 11, 2001, he boarded United Flight 93 in Newark.
After the hijacking he called Lyz.
He asked if it was true that planes had been flown into the World Trade Center.
She told him it was.
He understood then what the plane was being used for.
He told her the passengers were voting on whether to rush the cockpit.
He joked about butter knives.
She told him he needed to do it.
He said he loved her.
He told her not to be sad.
He told her to take care of their daughter, and that he would be all right with whatever choices she made.
Then he said they were going to rush the hijackers.
Stay on the line, he said.
I’ll be back.
He did not come back.
The plane went down in a Pennsylvania field. The Capitol was never hit.
He was a take-charge guy, his family said. In the last minutes of his life he made sure his wife knew he loved them, and then he went forward.
Say his name today.
WHY I SERVED AFTER 9/11: A WARNING ON ISLAM
On 9/11, nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered.
I joined the military to kill the monsters responsible.
I deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader.
It was the deadliest year of Operation Enduring Freedom.
I saw Islam up close.
My men and I fought alongside Afghan soldiers.
I respected them.
I would never want them living in my Iowa neighborhood.
I would never want them around my wife and children.
They beat their women.
They raped little boys.
It was culturally acceptable.
U.S. troops were told to focus on the mission.
We had women attached to my unit.
My soldiers had to protect them on every patrol.
Local men lingered around them.
They had no respect for those women.
They would have beaten and raped them if given the chance.
As a Platoon Leader, I ran Key Leader Engagements with Afghan elders.
Little boys served the tea.
Those boys had been sold into slavery and sexually abused by the men in the room.
I did not go to Afghanistan to nation-build.
I went because Americans were murdered, and somebody had to answer for it.
Now Islamists are invading America.
Not with planes this time.
With open borders and politicians too stupid or too cowardly to stop it.
Never forget 9/11.
I didn’t fight them over there so we could import them over here.
Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001.
He has been blind since birth.
His guide dog, Roselle, was under his desk when the plane hit.
The building lurched.
Smoke filled the offices.
People shouted.
Roselle stood, calm, and waited for the harness.
They went into Stairwell B and started down. Seventy-eight floors.
Firefighters passed them going up.
Jet fuel burned in the air.
A woman stopped, too afraid to keep walking.
Hingson talked her forward.
Roselle never pulled away, never panicked, never stopped.
They reached the lobby and then the street.
Minutes later the South Tower fell and a wall of dust rolled over them.
Roselle kept leading.
Hingson lived.
Roselle lived.
They walked out of a building that would not be standing an hour later.
He has spent the years since telling the story not as a miracle of sight, but as a story of trust: a man who could not see the stairs, and a dog who did not need to be told that the only way out was down.
Remember Michael Hingson.
Remember Roselle.
Remember everyone who started down those stairs and never reached the street.
🔥 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis just PUMMELED a leftist heckler who disrupted his speech tonight
"Hey — SOROS isn't paying you enough, because you're not very good at this! Pay some better talent instead of having people like YOU show up. This ain't my first rodeo, lady! I've seen it all, and YOU AIN'T VERY GOOD AT IT."
THAT'S MY GOVERNOR!! ☀️
DeSantis will go down as the greatest governor in American history.
Everything he touches turns to gold. And he has done exactly what he said he would do. No bullshit. Just hard, conservative work, making good on all of his promises.
Today in Lake County we DECIMATED the MUSLIM INVADERS who wanted to build 2 NEW MOSQUES in this tiny rural town!!! 😲😡
They WITHDREW their motion & we have SAVED LAKE COUNTY FLORIDA FROM ISLAMIFICATION ❌🕌
DONT DEARBORN MY FLORIDA!!! ✝️
“This is my son who was killed by an Islamic Taliban supporting Afghan by shooting him in the back because he was an "infidel".
If any of you can even imagine for one moment the tears I have shed… Please help honor and remember my son.
I’m just a humble Gold Star father who wrote a childrens book for my grandson and for the kids who have lost someone also. The book is called,
My Daddy's Heart is Purple, available on Amazon.

Look at his wingspan. Look how he towers over the girls. It just makes the insanity all the more obvious.
The @WNBA is unsalvageable at this point.
I stand with @EnesFreedom.
Our men didn't fight and bleed against Islamic Extremists in the Middle East just to watch them take over in New York, Michigan and Minnesota! This has to stop and it has to stop now!
Instead of my normal morning post I want to take a moment to be serious.
James Fishback, Paul Renner (My Vote), and Jay Collins are all good men. Any of them I would've preferred over Byron Donalds. That didn’t happen. It’s not the end of the world...
If you’re one of those people ready to undo everything DeSantis accomplished because Trump picked our nominee and you didn’t like it, that’s fucking stupid. 🤤
Millions of Florida parents spent hours at school board meetings, took to the streets, and audited classrooms and libraries with the full support of the greatest governor we’ve ever had. And we won. Dozens of highly inappropriate books depicting cartoon gay child porn and anti-white sentiment were removed. The divisive rainbow safe-space stickers on guidance counselors’ and teachers’ doors — gone. Even our bridges are lit red, white, and blue again instead of pride colors, showcasing our commitment to this nation, not a perverted ideology.
We helped each other through some of the worst natural disasters Mother Nature could throw at us, all while facing full resistance from the Democrats. Still we outperformed all expectations...
Now we unite against the left and behind Byron Donalds. If you’re going to vote against keeping Florida red because your feelings are hurt or you’re just an ignorant racist, you might as well dye your hair purple and sign up for the next No Kings protest. 🤡🤦
Don’t come at me with that “bUt We HaVe A rEd LeGiSlAtUrE” bullshit. Watch the video below, then kindly rush to your primary care physician to have your head removed from your ass — or get ready to cut holes in your nipples so you can watch REAL Floridians keep Florida free from your cosplay colonic safe space.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. 👍🏻
The unvaccinated were the most hated people on Earth. They lost their jobs. Friends and families disowned them. They were reported and arrested. Society treated them like lepers…and 7 years later…it turns out that they were right about everything…
@OnlyinFlorida2 I’m afraid the only way to stop Donalds is for everyone to get behind Collins. Splitting the votes among the others will come back to bite us.
