HEARTBREAKING UPDATE: THE AIRMAN WHO FELL TO HIS DEATH AT THE UTSA FOOTBALL GAME LEAVES BEHIND A WIFE AND TWO YOUNG BOYS.
We now know the identity of the U.S. Air Force member who tragically fell approximately 150 feet during a military rappelling demonstration at the Alamodome er 17th.
His name was Technical Sergeant Ian Patterson, a decorated Air Force veteran with 15 years of service.
Ian was participating in a pregame demonstration honoring our military before the UTSA - Navy football game when something went terribly wrong. He descended at a dangerously high speed and struck the field in front of thousands of spectators.
He was rushed to the hospital but tragically did not survive.
Ian was a husband to Niki and a father to two young boys.
Niki is a stay-at-home mother who homeschools their children. Ian was their primary financial provider.
Ian spent 15 years serving our country. He served in Korea, Colorado, and Germany, and was recognized as the Air Force Special Warfare Enlisted Instructor of the Year in 2022.
A GoFundMe has been established to help Niki relocate closer to family, provide for her children, and handle potential legal expenses.
Please pray for Niki and these two little boys.
Our military families sacrifice more than most people will ever understand.
🇺🇸 Rest in peace, Technical Sergeant Ian Patterson. Thank you for your service.

🚨MEET SAYLOR GRAHAM. SHE’S ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. AND SHE’S FIGHTING TO RECOVER AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE FACE AT SCHOOL.
I want everyone to take a moment to look at this beautiful little girl.
Her name is Saylor Graham, and she is one of the youngest survivors of yesterday’s at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.
Saylor, who uses a wheelchair and already lives with significant medical challenges, was inside the classroom when 16-year-old Griffin J. John II opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun, killing three children and a 25-year-old teacher.
Saylor survived.
And tonight, there is some encouraging news.
According to the Bend Police Department’s latest update, Saylor received lifesaving treatment at the scene and is now hospitalized at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where she remains in serious but stable condition.
This little girl and her family were already fighting battles long before a gunman entered her classroom.
According to a GoFundMe established to support her recovery, Saylor has numerous existing medical needs. Her parents are both self-employed, and caring for their daughter has already significantly limited their ability to work.
Now they’re facing an unimaginable additional burden.
Hospital expenses. Travel. Lodging. Lost income. And the uncertainty of what Saylor’s recovery will require in the weeks and months ahead.
I’m sharing the fundraiser below for anyone who would like to help.
If you cannot contribute financially, I’m asking you to do something else.
Pray for Saylor. Pray for her parents. Pray for her medical team. And pray for every family whose life was forever changed yesterday. Please also share her story and her fundraiser everywhere. 
Four innocent people didn’t get to come home. Saylor did survive, and I’m praying this beautiful little girl continues to fight her way back to the life she deserves.
God bless you, sweet Saylor. ❤️🙏

My husband, @mattvanswol has been locked out of his X account for refusing to delete a post he made this morning.
X locked his account for “abuse and harassment” which of course, he did not do.
In fact, he did the EXACT OPPOSITE and stated how horrible the video was and how
How can we “be the news” if we cannot post the news without being forced to delete it?
This is wrong.
People should be allowed to see the content Matt posts, regardless of whether it is hard to watch or not.
Personally, I often find it really difficult to watch some of the content Matt posts because it is so horrible.
And that’s exactly the point.
People need to KNOW things like this are happening… because without people like Matt, so many stories would not be national news and catalysts for change.
@x and @elonmusk please fix this.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew ld, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

September 10, 2025, changed America’s history forever.
One year ago, our founder, our leader, and our friend, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while doing what he had devoted his life to: standing before young Americans and challenging them to think, to speak, and to have the at they believe.
There are no words that can adequately describe what this past year has been like.
We have had to learn how to carry on without the person who was at the center of everything we do. We have celebrated milestones that Charlie should have been here to celebrate. We have stood on stages where his voice should have been heard. We have watched his children grow without their father there to see it. And we have felt the weight of his absence in ways that never seem to get easier.
For the people who knew and loved Charlie, September 10 will never simply be an anniversary. It is the day our lives were changed forever.
Today, our hearts are especially with Erika, Charlie’s children, the Kirk family, and the countless people who loved him. No organization, movement, or mission can replace what was taken from them. We will never forget the unimaginable loss they continue to carry.
But we also remember Charlie for how he lived.
Charlie’s faith was at the center of who he was. He believed deeply in God and trusted that his life was guided by a meaningful purpose. Charlie’s faith in Christ was his armor, which no assassin could overcome. He believed in life everlasting, and it was this unshakable faith that gave him a courage that was impossible to miss. He was willing to walk into difficult rooms, have uncomfortable conversations, and stand firmly for what he believed because he wanted others to know the hope and truth he had in Jesus. Charlie died a martyr for Christ.
Charlie believed America was worth fighting for, that young people could change the course of a nation, and that speech would only remain free if exercised. Always leading by example, he was fearless in the pursuit of truth—no matter the cost. No one taught this generation how to fight the good fight better than Charlie Kirk.
Turning Point shares those beliefs and will never abandon them. Charlie never gave up, and neither will we. Turning Point will continue to grow and meet milestones that Charlie dreamed of.
Today, we are not focused on the chapter numbers, the headlines, or the accomplishments. Today, we remember an incredible patriot, a husband, a father, and a man whose faith gave him the courage to spend his life serving a purpose he believed was bigger than himself.
We miss him.
We grieve him.
And we will never forget him.
One year later, Turning Point remains committed to carrying forward the work Charlie began.
For Charlie. Always.

California has decided to push for less transparency and create laws that penalize citizens and journalists for looking into potential fraud inside "immigration support services providers." A written demand is all it takes to stop the publishing of a nough is enough.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the @WNBA task force,
I am now speaking directly to you.
I’m going to keep this short and sweet, so open your ears and listen carefully.
I would like to offer you a peace summit, moderated by my friend @Caitlyn_Jenner. I’ve already spoken
I’m not a troublemaker. I’m more of a peacemaker.
Listen,
The whole world is laughing at you. You have turned the #WNBA into a laughingstock.
It’s time to stop hiding behind closed-door meetings, excuses, and delays and finally give the public a clear answer.
Let’s have the peace summit.
No shouting. No hiding. No carefully scripted statements.
Let’s sit across the table from each other, have an open and respectful conversation, and address the questions millions of people are asking.
Let’s put everything on the table and let the public hear both sides.
If you truly believe in your position, you should have no problem defending it publicly.
So, Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA task force, the invitation is officially on the table.
Name the time.
Name the place.
Let’s talk.
Are you in?

Let’s have the peace summit.
No shouting. No hiding. No carefully scripted statements.
Let’s sit across the table from each other, have an open and respectful conversation, and address the questions millions of people are asking.
Let’s put everything on the table and let the public hear both sides.
If you truly believe in your position, you should have no problem defending it publicly.
So, Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA task force, the invitation is officially on the table.
Name the time.
Name the place.
Let’s talk.
Are you in?

There is a great irony to the US being lectured about gun control by a country that instituted it, and has since had their murder rate skyrocket.
33 people are shot dead in South Africa every day. This week, the UN handed that country the gavel at its Arms Trade Treaty conference.
South Africa passed some of the strictest gun laws on earth. Citizens surrendered their guns under threat of prison. Then police tasked with old them to street gangs.
More than 1,000 murders have been traced to those firearms, including hundreds of children.
The state took their guns and armed their killers.
And South Africa isn’t the cautionary tale at this conference. It’s presiding over it.
So I flew to Geneva and said it to their faces.
Full speech below.

EXCLUSIVE: Internal Sources Allege Frisco ISD TAMPERED With Graduation Documents to Award Karmelo Anthony a Diploma - A Federal Offense
A thread 🧵-
PLUS: School Officials Were Warned About His Threatening Behavior HOURS Before Austin Metcalf’s Death. Did Frisco ISD Fail the n - Could a Lawsuit Be Next?
Let’s Refresh - Over the past year and a half, I have reported extensively on the fact that Frisco ISD failed the Metcalf family miserably. And now, it was revealed at the Karmelo Anthony hearings on the motions for a new trial and recusal that Frisco ISD not only failed them again, but could potentially be held RESPONSIBLE for Austin’s preventable death, which occurred on April 2, 2025.
Not long after Austin’s death, I reported that Meghan Metcalf repeatedly emailed the school and asked them not to allow Karmelo to graduate. He should have been expelled for bringing a knife to school and then proceeding to murder someone on school grounds. It is an affront to all moral standards that Frisco ISD did not punish Karmelo for murdering a fellow student.
Why didn’t they?
Because they allowed themselves to be intimidated by race-baiting activists like Dominique Alexander and the Freedmen Legal Fund.
The school took a month to respond to the mother of deceased Austin Metcalf, and when they finally did respond, it was a callous copy-and-paste of their school policy with zero empathy or regret for what had happened to her son. I obtained copies of all of these emails if anyone wants to read them. I also obtained copies of the emails from Dominique Alexander and the Freedmen Legal Fund, who threatened to hold protests if the school did not comply.
🚨I have an internal source who informed me that the reason there was an agreement to allow Karmelo to graduate is because Karmelo allegedly had NOT fulfilled all of the requirements necessary to graduate high school.
According to my source, District Attorney Esther Colney negotiated an agreement with career criminal and activist, Dominique Alexander and the Anthony family under which Karmelo was not expelled and was ultimately awarded a diploma despite not completing his required coursework.
Even more concerning, my source told me in an hour long interview, that government documents may have been tampered with or improperly completed to make it APPEAR as though Karmelo had satisfied graduation requirements that he had not actually completed. I am told administrators were instructed to approve graduation records without documentation showing how certain state graduation requirements had been met.
Also, according to my source, knowledge of the alleged irregularities involving these records is NOT limited to one person. Several administrative employees are aware of what occurred, including Esther Colney.
If records were altered, falsified, or improperly approved to award a diploma to a student who had not met Texas graduation requirements, that deserves an immediate and thorough investigation by the TEA.
Sadly, my source has made it clear that they do not want to be identified, since Frisco ISD is known for retaliation…A statement that was not surprising to me.
Frisco ISD also failed numerous parents after their children’s private information was subpoenaed by the defense, but the school did not inform the parents until just a few days before they were required to turn the information over. Fortunately, I was able to obtain copies of these subpoenas via an open-records request. They had been sent to the school weeks earlier, but the school did not feel it necessary to inform parents until just a couple of days before the deadline. This is what triggered the need for a protective order, among other reasons.
The school is required to make a reasonable effort to notify parents if the student is a minor before complying with a subpoena. The school never did. I spoke with several parents in Frisco ISD regarding this.
