One year ago, around this time, I was speeding across Texas, fighting back tears and streaming live news coverage on my phone, trying to get to my sons at Camp La Junta in Hunt, TX. There had been a massive amount of rain overnight, and I woke up to a text saying they were without power and cell service. Little did I know that just hours earlier, 119 people in that small county (139 total) had lost their lives in an unfathomable flood. My 7-year-old, Brock, fresh out of Kindergarten, had one full day at camp. My 9 yr old, Braeden, was in a different cabin. Around 3 AM, Brock woke up on a soaked mattress. The Guadalupe River had already risen nearly level with his bottom bunk. His teenage counselors lifted the little boys to the top bunks. Within minutes, that still wasn’t high enough. In the pitch black, freezing water filled with debris, gasoline, branches, snakes—everything you can imagine—kept rising. The boys were moved higher, into the rafters and onto the tops of the shower stalls, just trying to stay ahead of the water. Little did they know those bunk beds and vaulted ceilings would be a key reason they survived—while 27 girls at Camp Mystic, just minutes away, did not. They had followed orders to “shelter in place,” but the girls simply ran out of room. Back at Camp La Junta, about 60 boys were trapped in a triplex of three cabins. The oldest counselor was maybe 18. There was no prior camp safety training, barely any cell service, and no clear plan. Their 911 calls were answered occasionally, but help wasn’t coming. By then, the whole area was overwhelmed, and Kerr County was wholly unprepared. Some 911 calls weren’t just being routed to other counties - they were even forwarded to the local library. At 4 AM on July 4th, no one was there. It was kids saving kids. The cabins started breaking apart. Windows, doors, and even a wall crumbled as the water ripped through. One teenage counselor couldn’t handle the terrified screams of the little boys anymore and took his chances in the flood. He survived—but it was a choice no kid should ever have to make. A small cabin with young staffers inside tore off its foundation and slammed into the triplex where Brock was, like a bowling ball hitting the bumpers, before miraculously being stopped by a tree. Their security guard, brand new to the job, had taken refuge in the Dining Hall. As the building fell apart, she was pulled into the river. She grabbed a Gatorade cooler and held on for dear life, colliding with vehicles and barbed wire as the thick, freezing water tore off her clothes and broke her finger in a surreal, incomprehensible ride downstream. When she finally managed to grab onto a tree more than a mile away, she stumbled through the dark and the storm until she found a home. Nearly naked, she rang the doorbell of a stranger who took her in. The worst of the terror lasted only a couple of hours. The nightmares have lasted much longer. Now, my sons fear the sound of heavy rain. They instinctively scan rooms for higher ground or emergency exits. And that’s just their piece of the trauma. So many others lost lives, homes, their entire sense of safety. As a family, the boys & I will never forget the July 4th Floods. We’ve advocated for help and change - not just because of what my kids went through, but because of what that entire community endured: a natural disaster full of manmade failures. I hope you will never forget either.

The TPUSA shills are *lying* to you! There was no “high quality, conclusive video showing Tyler taking the shot” shown today! I was outside the courthouse all week, but Billie Webb & Brandi Siciliani were inside & saw the videos. They insist the vids were blurry & you cannot see a trigger pull or “Tyler’s face.” Total misrepresentation from Jack P, Tatum, Benny, and whoever else will be spinning this. I suspect THIS is likely a major reason why they were there: to spread a false narrative bc the case is WEAK AF. If only I’d known this when I interviewed them afterward, I would have asked directly why they’re spreading lies & mischaracterizing evidence.

You tell me: does this look like an “amazing” friend / chief of staff? 🤨 Mikey McCoy was standing right next to Charlie Kirk, but the *split second* he heard a shot, he headed for the hills. Put his phone to his ear (w/o pressing a key) & booked it out of UVU, away from one of his best friends and his TPUSA boss of 6 yrs. Didn’t look like Mikey even saw a drop of blood, certainly didn’t flinch to take cover, but he was walking with purpose — why? Who was he talking to? And why did Erika Kirk make a point to acknowledge him with a smile at her “address to the nation” less than 2 days after the incident? 🕵 “Amazing” eh? 🧐

Charlie’s Last Clues? On 9/10 at UVU, Charlie Kirk’s own security team handled his “critical” injury like a prop — shoving him over, letting his neck flop, hauling him off like a rag doll. This is not how top‑tier protection treats a live gunshot victim, their VIP. But there's more. In my frame‑by‑frame breakdown, I found several red flags: * No head/spine control, no visible basic medical care from a supposedly highly trained team. They jog right past EMS in the tunnel just feet away. * A strange stomach bulge. As he’s being carried out, his shirt rides up. Notice the discoloration on his abdomen and the bulge on his side. Is this just his hip, or a torso squib rig/body suit? * Charlie appears to reach for — or even push away — Dan Flood, his longtime security lead, as they rush him out (without appearing to ever hold his neck.) These observations could mean *so* many things. Watch the footage and tell me what you see: real emergency, catastrophic protocol failure, or something else entirely? 👀 Thx to Blake for sourcing video.

EXCLUSIVE: Is this a *second person* on a different roof in the *original* 9/10 UVU footage?👀 Not all‑black. Not Losee Center. A white dot on the Sorensen roof. If Tyler Robinson is the “all‑black on Losee” shooter, who is this??

If this were real eyewitness chaos, why does it play so staged? Phil Lyman’s assistant counts “1, 2, 3” before the kid, Jeb, launches into his “I saw Charlie Kirk get shot” story. Then Jeb — the same kid who later turns up on 60 Minutes — interviews w Adam B, who also later interviews Phil. Convenient or coincidence?

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Terryl Farnsworth — the man who controlled A/V at the UVU event 9/10 — posted a public Facebook video in 2011 of himself, his brother Tyler Farnsworth (who just announced his run for AZ State Rep!), & friends acting out SHOOTING each other in "Summer of 09." It's unsettling. Terryl is the same guy who, within seconds of Charlie Kirk going down, stood on the rocks filming a selfie, saying, "They shot Charlie. He's dead. God help him," instead of calling 911. And then -- he removed the SD cards.🤨 Watch for yourself. Make this make sense; I can't. 🧵👇

Here's your gentle reminder of how incredibly difficult/awkward it would be for Tyler Robinson to stuff an antique rifle down his pants and walk up the stairs. 2:22 for the best part. This kid isn't wearing straight leg/skinny jeans; they're even more relaxed than what was depicted in the 'official surveillance pics' -- and WHY don't we have video of the 'awkward walk'??
