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.

These two first pitches perfectly symbolize the difference in American crisis response, 20 years apart.

Rick did the meme. If Jessie’s Girl was Stacy’s Mom and her number was 867-5309. #YachtRockRadio #YachtRock #NyachtRock (Cred Rick Springfield, Jessie, Stacy and Jenny)

Everyone debating beef prices should hear from someone who actually raises cattle.
I’m a small rancher. It can cost me ~$2,500 to raise an animal + ~$600 to process it. If I bring home ~500 lbs of beef, that’s $6.20/lb before I pay myself ONE DOLLAR for land, fencing, equipment, fuel, labor, losses or risk.
So no, American ranchers aren’t getting rich off expensive beef.
And importing cheaper beef isn’t the solution I want.
I’d rather see Americans cut out the mega-packers and buy directly from local ranchers. Buy a quarter, half or whole animal. Know the farm. Know how it was raised. Ask whether it was grass-fed, grass-finished, grain-finished, or something else. Know who processed it.
Quality and production standards vary, and “imported” doesn't automatically mean inferior—but cheaper commodity beef is not the same proposition as knowing exactly where your food came from.
Want to help American families AND American cattlemen?
Buy local. Buy direct. Shorten the supply chain.
Then you don’t have to wonder which multinational handled your dinner—or whether tomorrow’s “beef” came from a cow, a bioreactor or a 3D printer.
Food security starts with knowing your farmer.

Every pawn currently in government or working with the government has profited from the taxes we have worked for; we have fed the monsters with all the illegal taxes we pay. We were unaware of the extent of their corruption until we started to observe their actions closely. While accountability may not be immediate, it is destined to arrive within our lifetime.

James Franklin had an amazing record at Penn St, then lost 3 games in a row and he is fired. Don’t feel too sorry for him, he gets $49,000,000 to go away.
Feel sorry for the high school coaches you treat the same way that get nothing.

When so-called conservatives start targeting libertarians as the enemy then you know they have lost their way.
It means they no longer embrace the shared values of limited government and fiscal responsibility.
It means they are charting a socialist path forward.

Universal/comprehensive… hmmm 🤔 now where have we heard that before?
Vouchers/ESA’s are not conservative. That’s what we heard again and again when we talked to Texans who consider themselves Republicans but oppose their party’s so called top education priority. We hear from rural Texans who are taking the attacks on their local schools very personally, and business minded Republicans who fear the consequences of privatizing education for workforce development. But the real lesson in this episode is political. The big money push to expand school vouchers/ESA’s, and expel voucher/ESA opponents, is spurring rising discontent within the ranks of the Republican party, including among some of Trump’s staunchest supporters.

Right on target. Being a politician is Greg Abbott's profession, and for those who still believe he genuinely represents Texans, it's time to reassess that perception. 🚩👇🏼
CHALLENGE-
Name one other profession where you can vehemently refuse to do your job for over a decade, putting lives in danger, and even declare that doing your job is illegal, and then finally admit that doing your job is the right thing to do and then do your job for only a year and you are then made into a hero and lifted up as the best example of someone doing your job? @GregAbbott_TX ?
