🇺🇸 The Last Live-Hit
Genelle Guzman was on the 13th floor of the North Tower when the building came down around her.
Twenty-seven hours later she was still there. Head wedged between concrete. Right leg crushed. One hand free. The rest of her sealed in a pocket of rubble and dust. She could not see. She could barely move. She prayed for her daughter. She asked God for a miracle.
Sometime after dawn on the 12th a retired German Shepherd named Trakr froze on a pile and gave a live-hit. His handler, James Symington, had driven him down from Nova Scotia through the night. Firefighters started digging.
Genelle felt a hand close around hers. A voice said “My name is Paul. Just hang on. They’re going to get you out.” She held that hand until the rescuers reached her. No one named Paul was ever identified among the crew that pulled her free. She has always called him her angel.
They brought her into the light around midday on September 12. She was the last living person taken from the World Trade Center.
Four surgeries saved the leg. In the hospital her boyfriend Roger proposed. They married that November. She wrote a book called Angel in the Rubble. She still says she found her life under there.

Once in a while, you have to listen to “Take Five” by Brubeck just to appreciate how damn good it is.

This Clancy trial hits me personally for a few reasons—I have three kids the same age. And I had postpartum depression with my first and I take some SSRI’s. NEVER and I mean NEVERRRRRR can I remotely imagine in my wildest dreams, at my worst, even CONSIDERING the idea of violently harming any of them, let alone CHASING THEM DOWN and not even making it a swift or “merciful” death before attempting the same to myself in this hypothetical. I didn’t have a nanny or outside help either. If I had, I would have left rather than harm them if I felt as bad as she supposedly did. Abandonment is far more common for PPT depression than violence. Psychosis can cause fits of action but it does not account for the premeditated and prolonged nature of this scenario.
How many women will want to admit to any PPT depression or need for meds to their husband if they think their spouse will view this behavior as a possibility? You will have more women go untreated and hiding it, and more harm to kids as a result. And some bad men will use it against women for custody cases, etc.
I don’t care if she is insane. Society still cannot allow someone “insane” enough to do this, to continue living in it. You can compassionately put a rabid dog down.
I hate lib women so much. At least I know who to blame when I lose my right to vote.
I wish I was on that jury so I could personally slap each of those women in the face.

South Africa is the absolute pioneer of the stadium flyover! 🇿🇦
1) Long before modern stunts, they pulled off the ultimate low-altitude flyby at the 1995 RWC final with a massive Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet!
2) The stunt was so legendary that director Clint Eastwood immortalized Captain Laurie Kay's flight in the 2009 film 'Invictus'

The 🇿🇦 South African Civil Aviation Authority reports 40 years of zero commercial airline fatal accidents. With an ICAO safety compliance score of 95.12%, SA ranks 1st in Africa and 8th globally ahead of the USA, proving its airline infrastructure rivals the world's most advanced networks.

South Africa has become a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold.
With Qatar’s support, the Islamist network has gained influence over South African religious institutions, charities, politicians and foreign policy.
Here’s how it happened.

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 destroying those guns sold 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.

😍 Iranian women can be heard gleefully saying that the Supreme Leader’s headquarters was hit.
The joy you hear in the video is what many of us have been waiting for since the regime massacred protesters. Iranians deserve happiness.

Everyone online knows exactly what a police officer should do, until you hand them a gun in a split-second, violent scenario. Reality doesn’t care about your Twitter opinion.
