A young woman from Nashville, Tennessee, survived the attack on Pearl Harbor from the cockpit of a training plane.
She was just 22.
If you’ve seen Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970), you may remember the civilian flight instructor suddenly surrounded by Japanese aircraft.
Her name was Cornelia Fort, a strikingly beautiful young woman and a skilled pilot. The woman behind that scene was real.
On December 7, 1941, Cornelia was giving a flying lesson over Oahu when a Japanese Zero came dangerously close. She seized the controls and narrowly avoided a collision.
Then she saw smoke rising over Pearl Harbor.
Cornelia brought her student safely back to the airfield. She had become one of the few American pilots to witness the opening attack from the air.
In September 1942, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, becoming one of the pioneering women entrusted with flying military aircraft across the United States. They served as civilians, delivering planes needed for the war effort.
On March 21, 1943, another aircraft struck the BT-13 she was ferrying over Texas. Fort’s aircraft crashed, killing her. She became the first American woman pilot to die in the line of duty flying for the U.S. military.
She was 24.
Hollywood preserved a moment of her life. Her name deserves to be remembered, too.

An F1 engine can't simply be started with a key like a normal road car. Its components are engineered with extremely tight clearances, so temperature plays a critical role in getting everything ready to run.
Before starting, the team circulates pre-heated oil and coolant through the engine for roughly 20 minutes. This warms the internal components and fluids, helping the engine reach the conditions it needs for a safe startup.
Once everything is at the correct temperature, the engine can finally be fired up. It's a perfect example of how much precision goes into an F1 power unit, where even starting the engine requires careful preparation. https://x.com/mechanical_4u/status/2094934567933423733/video/1
Woman fired for refusing COVID ‘vaccine’ wins record $12 million from employer.
Lisa Domski, who worked at the insurance company Blue Cross Blue as an IT specialist for over three decades, was fired from her position for refusing to take the jab, which has since been proven to have been neither safe nor effective.
After suing the company for religious discrimination against her Catholic faith, Domski was awarded significant damages by a federal jury in Detroit.
The ruling included $10 million in punitive damages against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, as well as $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in noneconomic damages.
RUSSIA, CHINA, and IRAN are building kamikaze drones to hunt American soldiers in the next war. I'm building SENTRY to stop them, so no American is killed by an attack drone.
You've seen the videos from Ukraine: a soldier alone in a field, a drone closing in behind him, nowhere to run. That's what war looks like now. A drone that costs a few hundred dollars can kill a soldier we spent years training, and they come in waves.
This isn't about taking sides in someone else's war. It's about making sure every American who puts on the uniform comes home. And it's getting closer to home: cartels already fly drones across our southern border. It's only a matter of time before those drones are armed.
Here's what most people don't realize: almost every counter drone system out there protects a place, not a person. Bases, ships, convoys. Radar, jammers, guns, missiles. The soldier on foot gets a handheld jammer that can't stop a fiber optic drone, a shotgun, and luck. And shooting million dollar missiles at few hundred dollar drones is a losing trade for the taxpayer.
SENTRY is air defense for one soldier. Here's how it's designed to work:
A sensor pack on the soldier's back is always listening and looking for incoming drones. When one is spotted, an interceptor drone launches from a cartridge on the pack, rushes the attacker, and wraps it in a net, taking it down away from the soldier. It doesn't rely on jamming, so it's designed to stop the drones jammers can't touch. Then the soldier slots in a fresh interceptor, ready for the next one. The version in this video is the biggest SENTRY will ever be.
It's designed to fit how soldiers already fight, with almost no extra training, and to be affordable enough for every soldier, not just every base. Every squad on patrol should carry a few. Every soldier walking alone should have SENTRY watching their six.
Peace through strength starts with protecting the people we send to fight. The next war will be decided by who can put the most drones in the air, and who can keep their soldiers alive underneath them.
I never want to see a video of an American soldier being hunted down by a kamikaze drone. That's why I'm building SENTRY.
BREAKING OVERNIGHT: Elon Musk tells millions of Americans that they must vote red or a Democrat SWEEP would result in DC/Puerto Rico statehood (new blue seats), amnesty for millions of illegals and open borders, packing the Supreme Court and forcing a one-party state
"All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one."
"It would be game over for America."
Democrats are running on lies and propaganda and will IMMEDIATELY turn around to destroy this nation if given the chance.
They will make lives worse and are only concerned about mass importing foreigners
He Fired on Police for Two Hours With a Fully Automatic Rifle. One Officer Across the Street Ended It.
A man fired on police and his neighbors' homes for over two hours. Detectives later found more than 150 shell casings and a fully automatic rifle inside his house.
St. Louis County Police just released the bodycam. On Sept. 15, residents on Tapestry Drive called 911 about 40-year-old Ryan Woods firing shots inside and outside his home. Police say he was on probation, refused every order to come out, and fired in the direction of officers. His rounds hit neighboring homes and cars.
Just before 4:30 PM he broke out a window with a rifle. A tactical officer positioned in the house directly across the street fired 18 rounds and killed him. No officers were hurt.
HOLY SMOKES. DOJ is now investigating CCTV footage from Lewiston, Maine City Hall that appears to show Somali NGO "translators" coaching migrant voters and even FILLING OUT their ballots, per Maine Wire
IMAGINE THAT. USUAL SUSPECTS.
The U.S. Attorney for Maine, Andrew Benson, confirmed his office is reviewing the early voting video: "We will not tolerate threats to the integrity of our elections."
Roughly 140 hours of security footage obtained by The Maine Wire reportedly shows 200+ non-English-speaking Somali voters walked through the process by a handful of NGO staffers
Under Maine law, translators can't approach voters unasked, can't influence their choices, and can't touch the ballot!
And instead of cracking down, the Democrat mayor tried to BLOCK photojournalists from documenting it
With Susan Collins' seat on the line Tuesday, this needs to be clamped down on NOW!
Trump's DOJ is watching for cheating all over the country, from Maine to California noncitizen ballots too
Democrats will stop at nothing to steal our elections. This is why we need to keep them out of power and swamp them. https://x.com/TheMaineWire/status/2116189761622925629/video/1

JUST IN: Elon Musk just DEMOLISHED Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger after she publicly bragged about her Cabinet that has zero white men on it
ELON: "You are utterly racist and sexist regarding White men. Shame on you!"
Look at the photo she posted: 8 cabinet secretaries, and not ONE white man among them!
They make DEI appointments. She BOASTED her cabinet is diverse
She says every pick was "the best of the best." Then why lead with skin color and gender? That's DEI!
Elon is 100% right!

There were five slave trades. You were taught about only one.
One. The Atlantic. Twelve million Africans shipped to the Americas. Britain banned it in 1807, then hunted it for sixty years.
Two. The Barbary trade. A million Europeans taken to North Africa. Britain bombarded Algiers in 1816.
Three. The Saharan trade. A thousand years of caravans north across the desert. Britain had its northern end banned. Tripoli, 1857.
Four. The East African trade. Twenty thousand people a year through one customs house. Britain forced the market shut. 5 June 1873.
Five. The Ottoman trade. Raiders sold Eastern Europeans south for three hundred years. Britain made the Sultan ban it in 1854.
It cost sixty years and two thousand sailors. Nobody else fought all five.
It isn't over. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. Fifty million people are in slavery today.
Someone has to remember who started the fight.

Ukraine has set the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in Russia ablaze.
That means, from now on, things are heading to a swift end.
Trump had warned the beggar prince often enough that the fun's over if he endangers the fuel exports.
