@SharrellAnne2 That is where I am after being shocked she was such a user of USA and what it gives. I’d rather know who these people are so I don’t inadvertently support them or listen to them.

I can’t wrap my mind around the pushback these artists are receiving. The 250th celebration is bigger than any one politician. It’s a celebration of our nation, our history, and the people who built and defended it. Honestly, I’m grateful when people show us who they are. If someone can’t set personal politics aside long enough to celebrate America, they’re free to make that choice. I’m free to take my support elsewhere. 😊

For 8 years, people at Morgan Stanley called Rick Rescorla paranoid. Then September 11th proved he was right. Rick was a decorated Vietnam veteran who became Head of Security for Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center. In 1990, he walked through the underground parking garage and quietly warned: “Someone could park a truck bomb here and bring this whole place down.” Executives dismissed the concern as excessive. Then came February 26, 1993. A truck bomb exploded in the World Trade Center parking garage almost exactly where Rick predicted. Six people died. Over 1,000 were injured. The evacuation was chaos. Rick watched terrified employees stumble through smoke-filled stairwells for hours with no real preparation. Afterward, he made a decision. Morgan Stanley employees would practice evacuation drills every three months. All 2,700 of them. No exceptions. People hated it. The company occupied floors 44 through 74 of the South Tower. That’s a very long walk down when you have meetings, deadlines, and places to be. Employees complained constantly. “He’s obsessed.” “This is unnecessary.” “He’s paranoid.” Rick didn’t care. He timed every evacuation. Studied bottlenecks. Adjusted routes. Ran the drills again. And during the drills, he sang old military songs to keep people calm while they descended the stairwells. For 8 years, people rolled their eyes at him. Then came September 11, 2001. 8:46 a.m. The North Tower was hit. An announcement in the South Tower told people to remain at their desks because the building was secure. Rick ignored it. He grabbed a bullhorn and ordered: “Everyone out. Now.” Then he personally directed employees through the stairwells floor by floor. And he sang. The same songs people once mocked during drills suddenly became the sound keeping frightened people calm as they escaped. At 9:03 a.m., the South Tower was struck. Rick was still inside helping people evacuate. His coworkers begged him to leave. He refused. “As soon as everyone’s out.” By 9:45 a.m., nearly all 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees had escaped safely. Rick could have saved himself. Instead, he turned around and went back up. Searching for anyone left behind. Before the tower collapsed, he called his wife one final time. “If something happens to me, I want you to know you made my life.” At 9:59 a.m., the South Tower collapsed with Rick still inside. Final numbers: Morgan Stanley employees inside that morning: ~2,700 Survived: ~2,687 Most of the 13 lost were in the direct impact zone where no evacuation could have reached them in time. Rick Rescorla died alongside members of his security team while trying to save others. But here’s the important part: Rick didn’t save those people on September 11th. He saved them for 8 years before it happened. He saved them every time he forced another evacuation drill. Every time people mocked him. Every time he prepared anyway. The coworkers who thought he was paranoid went home to their families because one man refused to stop taking danger seriously. Sometimes preparation looks ridiculous until the day it looks like survival. And sometimes the people everyone dismisses are the only ones truly paying attention. Rick Rescorla died in the stairwell doing what he had trained for nearly a decade. And thousands of ordinary lives continued because he never stopped preparing for the day nobody believed would come.

This is an important point Jared is making. And one I’ve been trying to make since the 1776 Fund idea made the left go batsh-t crazy. Those of us who have spent the most time with J6 video, combined with the collective court records, KNOW that “over 400” people DID NOT commit violence against law enforcement that day. The number is “less than” 100. Almost certainly closer to 60-80. Of course, (watch the responses to this), fully half the country will call me a liar and say, “I saw the whole thing!” Or, “You can’t gaslight us. We know what we saw with our own eyes!” Yeah. They saw the same scenes of violence over and over again, from multiple angles, in short 5 - 15 news clips. They think they “saw” “thousands of people storming the Capitol.” Which never happened. Indeed, thousands surrounded the Capitol … singing, chanting, waving flags … while most were oblivious to what was happening on the actual “battle line.” A small handful of provocateurs and violent offenders constantly attacking and provoking, surrounded by a bunch of more mouthy ne'er-do-wells.

To the PRODUCERS of the 250 show at the White House… music is the ultimate unifier. Take this more seriously. Some suggestions. -Belmont University Orchestra - Luke Combs - Billy Strings - Forrest Frank with the children’s choir Or people that no one has ever heard of, but happened to be incredible performers. People want creativity and authenticity.

On the left is Spencer Pratt’s home. On the right is Jimmy Kimmel’s. Mr. Kimmel repeatedly violates FCC equal time election laws campaigning against Mr. Pratt on his late night political show. ABC’s defense is that Mr. Kimmel’s show is “comedy.” They are also selling unicorns.

@MichaelRCaputo @bretmichaels He showed who he actually is. I hope any of those who are hypocrites show us. It's sad but shine a light on all who make it political. They are not about the country..they are about themselves and what they can take from it.

@bretmichaels is a particular disappointment. I thought I knew the measure of the man. None of us did.

@Variety What a bunch of cowards who just use USA for what they can get from in instead of actually loving it. Please..keep reporting so we know who they are.

Bret Michaels is the fifth artist to pull out of the Trump-backed "Freedom 250" concerts in D.C. “Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of. Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable. Because of that, I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

@ProjectConstitu @lisaknows429 Why? You arent smart enough to know why? Absolutely nothing will ever satisfy you. You need to be the one to prove what you say. How silly.

@lisaknows429 if it's so fake why did she respond and why won't she give me something that refutes it? i told her i would correct the record if she provided me proof she want at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday May 14th. Blake Wynn also refused to provide any receipts to back up his denial.

Project Constipation tried to once again smear Erika with fake allegations of a Jewish boyfriend. Claiming she moved on romantically too fast. Going as far as to do a fake interview with a witness. Erika has responded and is finally laying the smack down on him with the facts! So good to see her stand up for herself! Give him hell, girl!

@martinamcbride I'm actually happy after thinking about it and over my shock to find out who you actually are but thank you. I know now. My choice is to never support those who choose to support taking from the most vulnerable and enabling thieves. Still sad since I always thought you were kind.

“I CAN’T BREATHE” Hampshire Police has issued a public apology: "We apologize that Henry was handcuffed and arrested at the moment he was losing consciousness. “We were lied to by the perpetrator” Sorry doesn’t cut it. Sorry isn’t good enough. Still, neither the court nor the police have yet released the camera footage. The Indian killer; Vickrum Digwa, called the police instead of an ambulance & lied, saying that it was Henry who attacked him, that he was drunk, insulted him with racist remarks & knocked off his turban. Hampshire Police arrived (three female officers) & immediately handcuffed Henry, even though he was lying in a pool of blood with stab wounds to his chest and legs. Henry repeatedly said: "I’ve been stabbed, I can’t breathe". On the body camera footage, an officer’s voice is heard: "I don’t think you have, mate". The officer who handcuffed Henry laughed when he said he’d been stabbed. Then they dragged him across the gravel and kept him restrained as he bled out. Only when he lost consciousness did the officers remove the handcuffs & begin resuscitation. Henry died at the scene. This is a result of systemic racial discrimination against White people, two tier policing & a completely broken Police & justice system. The Police instantly took the word of a foreign killer over a native White victim due to his race. Henry never stood a chance. None of us do in the West where White people are treated as 2nd class citizens & have less rights & legal protections than EVERY other race of people in our own homelands.

Here's how the game they're playing with Erika works. They start with an outrageous claim or accusation that's so serious and damaging, it feels like you have no choice but to respond to it. Then they flip the burden of proof. Instead of proving the claim, they demand proof it isn't true. This is burden-shifting, but it's made worse by the fact that a lot of accusations are difficult (if not impossible) to disprove, especially when they’re about someone's motives or private behavior. Once the accusation is out there, every possible reaction gets twisted into evidence of guilt. If you deny it, they say you’re being defensive. If you try to explain yourself, they say you’re over-explaining because you got caught. If you get angry, they say your anger proves they struck a nerve. And if you stay quiet, well . . . only the guilty have nothing to say in their own defense. So the outrageous accusation itself never actually gets tested honestly, and it wasn't supposed to. The whole point was to make as many people as possible believe the claim must be true, no matter what is or isn't said in response to it. And it's nearly as effective as it is evil. The only way out of the trap is to show that it's a trap, and to ridicule and reject the wicked people who tried to set it up in the first place.

They called for help. He answered—over and over, until he could not anymore. Vietnam. January 10, 1968. The rice paddies of Dinh Tuong Province were flooded and silent, but for how long? Within minutes, enemy fire erupted, filling the fields with chaos. Over 30 soldiers fell wounded almost immediately, trapped in mud and water, with nowhere to hide. Amidst the confusion and fear, Army combat medic Clarence Sasser moved. Each call for help was a summons he could not ignore. He crossed open ground again and again, dragging his fellow soldiers to safety, treating grievous wounds under the relentless pressure of battle. Every step was a choice between survival and service. Every movement a testament to duty beyond instinct. Then the battlefield reached him. Shrapnel tore through his body. Bullets found their mark. Limbs faltered, strength waned, yet he refused to leave. Sasser continued, crawling through mud, keeping the wounded alive until he could not anymore. He was wounded, yes—but his courage outlasted the pain. Twenty-three Marines survived that day because he stayed in motion when the world said stay down. Sasser’s actions earned him the Medal of Honor in 1969, a symbol of valor that could never capture the full measure of his sacrifice. After the war, he continued to serve quietly, supporting veterans and mentoring the next generation, living a life defined not by the recognition he received, but by the lives he saved. Today, we remember Clarence Sasser—not for the battles, not for the headlines, but for the courage of a man who kept moving when everyone else could not. Lest We Forget

@martinamcbride Whoa. Never dreamed you were a hypocrit. I knew Democrat but had no idea you actually don’t love your country enough to put aside your politics. So incredibly sad but glad to know.

@infantrydort @RobGreen1010 🙏🙏🙏

I Owe My Men an Apology, And I’m Giving It Publicly A lot of you hear me talk about accountability on here. Well, I don’t want to be a hypocrite. So it’s time I take some of my own. Everyone in the Army who knows me, knows who I am on here. I’m a Soldier. I fight where I’m told and win where I fight. That’s what I’ve always believed. I grew up in the military trusting that no matter how chaotic things got, senior leadership ultimately had our backs. In 2020, that belief shattered. I was a battalion XO at Fort Hood when the COVID restrictions hit hard. We were told the vaccine was voluntary. That if we got it, we could ditch the masks, leave base, live like normal again. No strings attached. Then came the formation at the vaccine site. Two groups. Those willing to take the shot, and those who weren’t. Some senior leaders pulled me aside and said, “Hey Dort, you’ve got a way with words. Talk to the dissenters. See if you can bring them around.” So I did. To be fair, the leaders I'm talking about were just as ignorant as me to all of this. I got those young men into a horseshoe around me and told them not to worry. I told them Big Pharma wouldn’t risk lawsuits by putting out something dangerous. I told them we’d get our freedom back. And a lot of them believed me. They got the shot. So did I. One week later, the goalposts moved. New CDC guidance came down. Even vaccinated Soldiers had to mask up and live under the same restrictions. I was livid. Then I stumbled across information that explained something I never knew: pharmaceutical companies couldn’t be sued for vaccine injuries, because of a deal struck in the 1980s. My stomach dropped. Everything I told my men that day… was wrong. I hadn’t lied. But I had been wrong. And in that moment, I realized: I didn’t just feel betrayed. I felt like I had betrayed them. I had COVID twice, even after the shot. I watched as barriers went up in neighborhoods, base access was controlled like some dystopian movie. I watched the Army start kicking Soldiers out for refusing the vaccine. I never processed a single discharge packet. I never punished anyone. I wasn't a commander. But I still live with the guilt of convincing my brothers to do something I never should’ve spoken on with such certainty. Now? I’ve got cataracts that need surgery, at an age where that just doesn’t make sense. My resting heart rate is higher than it used to be. I’m still in shape, still in the fight… but I’m not the same. I know others are like this too. So here I am, saying the thing no senior leader seems able to say: I. Was. Wrong. And I’m sorry. From the depths of my soul, I apologize to the men who trusted me that day. I didn’t know. But I spoke like I did. And unlike most generals/admirals or DoD civilians, I can admit that. I don’t need to preserve some spotless image. I’m a man. A leader. And I owe those men the truth. I don’t expect this post to spark a revolution in the Pentagon or people with stars. But if it helps just one other leader step forward and do the same, It’s worth it. And maybe now, I can sleep a little better. I doubt it though.

@JonathanCohn Here’s hoping @potus add another lawsuit to his resume.

He raped her, she won in court, and his response is to terrorize her. Because he is a rapist.

@MarshallCohen 😂😂😂 retribution Unbelievable you try to cover for what they did

Targets of Trump's retribution:

Things I've learned in 48 hours.. *the younger folks really resent the older generations and have no concept of what history was like for Boomers/Xers *a LOT of people do NOT like to work 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@BarbMcQuade @nytimes So what is difference between credible and perjury? What is scary is you are a legal analyst.

We already have a process for determining whether accusers are credible. It’s called a trial. And a jury already decided they believed E Jean Carroll. THIS is weaponization. nytimes.com/2026/05/27/us/… via @NYTimes

@GiveAllLiberty @CynicalPublius 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Believable Good grief.

@CynicalPublius She was able to successfully sue Trump, even though she could not remember critically important details. Her defense is just as believable.

FYI, perjury is a crime, and there is no "Well I did it to harm Donald Trump" exception to perjury laws.

@BZsSaloon 🙏🙏🙏 One of the loneliest journeys we ever make. Prayers to you and family while you learn to adjust to the hole left in your heart. May tears start to smooth the ragged edges soon

Jake is gone. The 8-month Long Goodbye is over. This morning he couldn't keep breakfast down. He couldn't keep lunch down. He couldn't get out of the dog bed. Taken out to the back yard, he tumbled over his head, fell in the grass, and couldn't get up. We took him to the nearby lake so he could get some last sniffs. He couldn't stand, his limbs were limp. As a last chance -- I was so hoping he'd rally -- I placed Jake under a shady tree in the grass, adjacent the vet's office. He immediately fell and couldn't gain his legs. The mind was willing. The body failed. At 4:57 PM today, with a push of pink liquid in a thin line, Jake crossed the Rainbow Bridge. All the time I was telling him what a good boy he was, how courageous he was, how innocent he was, how elegant he was, how strong and brave he was. Now he's playing with Angus, the Scotty dog we lost on Father's Day of 2024.
