I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
@OrlandoG85@TomasRicardos@the_jefferymead@HouseDemocrats A big part of the supply constraints were Democrats policies that incentivized US oil companies to limit capital expenditures as well as decades of regulation discouraging new refineries to be built. All of these are democrat driven policies attacking fossil fuels.
“If a liberal from 1966 time traveled to 2026, they would be considered a Republican.
But if a liberal from 2026 traveled in time back to 1966, they would be institutionalized.”
He’s not wrong 💯👇🏼
Dan Bongino’s salary was an est. $4.9 million in 2024.
His new salary is $221K.
Pete Hegseth’s salary was an est. $2.3 million in 2024.
His new salary is $256K.
Sean Duffy made an est. $1 Million last year.
His new salary is $253K.
They aren't in it for the money.
They are in it for love of country.
Pure patriots. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@ceedeeeeeznuts@Oatsofwaker@BellCowVonte A good coach changes in game, not 8 games after it wasn’t working… trying is for participation trophies not NFL coaches…
@Oatsofwaker@BellCowVonte A good coach puts his players in positions to succeed by scheming to their strengths, not forces his system down their throat and refuses to adapt…
@JuliaSassybaker@saras76@AmanAlienOnMars Under the Dems plan you can make $600k a year and get taxpayer subsidies… if someone making $600k needs subsidies, that’s a testament to how bad the Dems have already broken healthcare in this country.
@JuliaSassybaker@saras76@AmanAlienOnMars If there was compromise it was only compromising between Democrat viewpoints. 0 republicans voted for any of the enhanced subsidies so the Democrat party chose 3 years when it could have done 10. If they compromised it was because even their own party knew it was bad.
@kaisersayzo@saras76 The negotiation on the length of subsidies was negotiation only between Democrats. They set all the terms. The subsidies got 0 votes from republicans in every bill. If the democrats wanted a 10 year expiration they could have voted for it but even the Dems knew it was a bad idea.
@TheRossCockburn@Rangers It was his fault he had horrible bullpen management, and would go to Robert Garcia over and over in high leverage situations… after the first 2 or 3 you can’t say it’s anyone but the managers fault.
@sadieenwarddd@TheRossCockburn@Rangers It was obvious Garcia was overmatched all year in any leverage situation, yet Bochy would put him in over and over to blow saves… it was 100% predictable to everyone but Bochy that it you put in Garcia the lead was going to be gone. That’s bad bullpen management.
