Thirteen years later, Glen “Bub” Doherty’s story still speaks. Glen grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts, the youngest of three. A restless kid who always wanted to climb higher, ski faster, and push further. Friends called him “Bub” a name that carried more warmth than any rank. He was a skier, surfer, climber, and pilot. If it involved grit and adventure, Glen lived it. He could spend a day on the mountain and a night around the fire making people laugh, always lifting others up. In 1995 he earned the trident of a Navy SEAL, serving as a sniper, medic, and brother in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond. He left the Navy in 2005 but not the mission, continuing to serve with the CIA in dangerous places. Libya was supposed to be his last rotation. He stayed because protecting others was his core. Off duty he co-authored The 21st Century Sniper, built homes, played guitar, and was always ready to help a friend. On September 11, 2012, Glen was part of the quick-reaction force that flew from Tripoli into Benghazi. Mortars struck the annex. He ran toward the danger and fought beside his brother Tyrone “Rone” Woods. Both gave their lives. Thirty-two Americans survived because men like Glen stood their ground. His parents Bernard and Barbara, his siblings Greg and Kate carry his legacy. Friends honored him with a paddle-out at Swami’s Beach and with “Glen’s Run” at Snowbird. The Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation continues his work by helping veterans build new lives. Glen’s story is not just about how he died but how he lived adventurous, selfless, and fully alive. He showed us how to squeeze every ounce of life out of the time we’re given and to give ourselves for others without hesitation.

“This Is the Line” What happens when evil is met with silence? The answer is right in front of us in the blood on American soil, in the corruption that walks free, in the truth that gets labeled hate. Charlie Kirk is dead. And whether the world admits it or not, he was killed for standing where cowards refuse to. That’s what happens when truth confronts evil: evil pulls the trigger. And what has America done? •Allowed one side to get away with violence over and over. •Watched as the justice system turned into a political weapon. •Punished those who speak truth and protected those who burn it down. But this isn’t just about Charlie. It’s about every warrior who’s been silenced, slandered, or targeted for refusing to bow. And here’s the truth the world doesn’t want to hear: If the Founders hadn’t met tyranny with force we’d still be British subjects. If we hadn’t fought back terror would rule every inch of this earth. If we do nothing now America will not survive. What America needs isn’t more politicians. It needs men and women who won’t fold. Who know that silence is surrender. Who are willing to defend what’s right in word, in action, and if necessary… in battle. This is the line. You’re either standing on it or you’ve already stepped over to the side of the cowards.

September 11 Today Remember. 24 years ago, our nation was struck in New York, at the Pentagon, and in a quiet field in Pennsylvania. Thousands of lives lost in a single morning. The day America swore never to forget. And 13 years later, on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya, the same hate rose again. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen “Bub” Doherty, and Tyrone “Rone” Woods were killed in the fight. Dozens more barely made it home because a few men refused to quit under fire. 9/11 is not just a date on a calendar. It is a reminder of what we’ve endured and what we still carry. It is a call to honor the fallen not only in words but in how we live with courage, with loyalty, with truth. We remember New York. We remember the Pentagon. We remember Shanksville. We remember Benghazi. We remember the cost. We remember the names. We carry the legacy. #NeverForget #911 #Benghazi #13Hours #HonorTheFallen

Not sure why I kept them, but these are the blood stained boots I wore in Benghazi on 9/11/2012. No matter how hard you try, you can never walk the exact path someone else’s boots already have. Even though we all fought the same fight, some shoulder to shoulder, each of our boots took a different path that night. What hell have your boots carried you through? What path did they take? New songs coming! #Theseoldwornboots #13hours #tig

I lost my dad today. We never had the perfect father and son relationship people imagine. It was complicated. A lot was left unsaid. There was distance over the years. But underneath all of it, he was still my dad. The hardest part is knowing I was trying to get there. I was trying to see him one last time. I was trying to say goodbye. Instead, I got a phone call. I’m not looking for sympathy or prayers. Millions of people deal with loss, broken families, distance, regret, and unfinished relationships every day. So tonight I wrote this song. Not polished. Not fake. Just honest. “He Was Still My Dad” Sometimes love is messy. Sometimes family leaves scars. Sometimes people disappoint each other and still matter deeply. Dad, I know I hurt you too.

Watching Karachi, Pakistan today is a gut punch. On March 1, 2026, protesters tried to storm the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi. They clashed with Pakistani security forces. The reporting says windows were smashed and a nearby police post was set on fire and at least 22 people died in the clashes around the consulate. Now let me tell you why this is personal for me. I was in Karachi in 2011 when the consulate had just moved into the newly built complex. That move was reported January 18, 2011. The Consul General at the time was William Martin. The place was new. Clean. Modern. Supposed to be secure. And I remember being there while leadership was more worried about not looking too military than they were about actually hardening the target. We did not even have concertina wire where it should have been because somebody thought it looked too aggressive. That Same leadership said we would surrender if people got inside. The Marines at the time only had shotguns, no fighting positions. 😳 YEAH THATS A BIG FU! Some of us knew what surrender would mean in that environment. If you need a reminder, likely you would lose your head! So we made sure a few Marine Security Guards understood one thing. We were not surrendering. There were a lot more issues with that consulate too, including the underground tunnels, but that is a whole other story. Guess who was running the state department and the security at the time? And watching this today flashes me back to September 11, 2012 in Benghazi. That same ideology of not wanting to look too threatening. Not wanting to add security. Not wanting stronger defensive posture. Two Americans paid the ultimate price for that at the compound. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith. Watching 22 people die and 120 more get injured outside that same consulate today drives something home: Reality doesn’t care about optics or your feelings. You either prepare for violence or you pretend it will not come. Good to see tactics change since that day! Good job Marines and DS and you know who! STAY SAFE. Semper Fi

Dear leftist, this is a message from your fellow countrymen, ICE agents haven’t missed their marks so far. Indoor range @ 25-yard max, Taking 5-10 seconds between shots? Pathetic flex, buddy. Hitting center mass with what looks like a 1-10x optic cranked to full zoom for a staged social media clip 😂👌🏻That’s not skill that’s amateur hour. Ma’am, this ain’t a flex. It’s basic marksmanship at at best and scripted theater at worst. An average ICE agent, will dump 7-10 rounds into center mass before you even finish your dramatic pause. A seasoned operator? 10-20 rounds with pinpoint accuracy, flawless recoil control, target transitions, and split-second decisions—all while you’re still lining up your next “shot.” Real proficiency isn’t slow-fire cosplay for clicks. It’s life-or-death precision under pressure. But hey, keep LARPing as a “friendly neighborhood leftist.” The FBI’s watching, and prison orange suits everyone. Side note. Let law enforcement do their jobs. Stay home and you do not get hurt. You are not a victim when you insert yourself into an enforcement action. You are choosing the risk. That choice creates the confrontation and the needless injury or death that follows. Compliance ends the problem. Interference creates it. #PartyOfchains

Today we honor Tyrone “Rone” Woods Not just his birthday but the standard he lived by. Rone showed up when it mattered. He stood his post. He did his job without excuses and without asking for credit. He carried weight most people never see and he carried it quietly. That is the kind of man this country was built on. Faith in something bigger than himself. Loyalty to his brothers. Willingness to run toward danger so others could live. If you are breathing today you owe it to men like Rone to live with purpose. To stand when it is hard. To tell the truth when it costs you. To protect what matters even when no one is watching. Happy birthday WARRIOR! You are not forgotten. Your example still leads. You are never gone while your name is still spoken…

This isn't about Israel; it's about 47 years of American blood spilled by Iran. From embassy bombings to Khobar Towers and the recent Jordan drone strike, history is written in American casualties, not Israeli. The question isn't if the fight exists, but if we'll end it.

Iran talks big because that is what weak regimes do when they know they cannot stand toe to toe with American warfighters. To every mouthpiece puffing out its chest from behind a screen, hear this clearly. America does not scare easy. America does not bend to threats. America does not answer propaganda with panic. You brag about proxies. We trust Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and guardians. You hide behind slogans. We stand on discipline, training, grit, and the kind of brotherhood forged under real pressure. Do not confuse noise with strength. Do not confuse terror tactics with honor. Do not confuse propaganda with combat power. The United States military has buried tyrants, shattered armies, crossed deserts, stormed beaches, and answered evil with steel and resolve for generations. American fighting men do not need lessons in ground warfare from a regime that survives by fear, proxies, and lies. You want to talk about masters of war. Read Belleau Wood. Read Iwo Jima. Read Fallujah. Read the history written in blood by men who ran toward the fire when others ran away. The Marine Corps was built for hard ground, hard fights, and hard men. We do not need welcoming. We do not need warning. We do not need permission. We are Americans. We finish what gets put in front of us. If your side wants a test, understand this. Our flag is not a prop. Our dead are not forgotten. And our warriors are not impressed by internet threats from cowards who mistake volume for valor. That is the answer. Not fear. Not hesitation. Just a reminder. The United States has been breaking arrogant enemies since before your regime existed. And if Americans are ever called again, we will do what we have always done. Show up. Close with. Destroy the threat. Come home under our flag.

Really?! this isn’t blasphemy or mocking! Scripture defines blasphemy as speaking contempt or irreverence against God, reviling His name/works, or crediting the Holy Spirit’s power to evil (Leviticus 24:10-16, Exodus 20:7, Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, John 10:33). It requires words or claims, not a picture. Jesus gave believers His power: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things” (John 14:12). “Lay hands on the sick and they will recover” (Mark 16:18). Faith moves mountains (Matthew 17:20). The disciples healed in His name (Acts 3:6, 5:12-16). James 5:14-15 calls for prayer and anointing for healing. A symbolic image of a person in a healing pose with light effects doesn’t claim divinity or speak against God, it visually echoes what Jesus said we’re empowered to do through faith. Poor taste for some? Sure, debate that. Mocking Jesus or biblical blasphemy? Not even close! It’s symbolic art echoing what JESUS said we can do through faith.

The Second Amendment was not written in isolation. It sits on the same foundation as every other right. You do not get free speech if the state decides who may speak. You do not get due process if the state decides who is dangerous. You do not get bodily autonomy if the state decides what is “reasonable.” When one amendment is treated as optional, the rest follow. History is clear. Governments do not restrain themselves. They are restrained when they hit resistance. The Constitution is a package deal. You either defend all of it, or you lose it piece by piece. Rights do not exist because the government allows them. Rights exist because the people already had them. John “TIG” Tiegen Semper Fi

I didn’t come from privilege. I came from the kind of life that teaches you how to fight, how to lead, and how to keep going when things get tough. That’s the kind of leadership I believe Colorado Springs needs not rehearsed, not polished. Real. Grounded. Proven. I’m running for mayor because this city deserves a fighter who doesn’t just talk about change but lives it. Let’s build something better, together. #TIG4Mayor2027 #ColoradoSpringsStrong #BuiltToLead Tig for Mayor

Thirteen years later, Tyrone “Rone” Woods still stands as a portrait of strength, skill, and the quiet courage that outlives emergencies. Rone grew up in the Pacific Northwest born in Portland, raised across rural Oregon and Washington. He was fearless as a kid hunting ground squirrels with his .22 as a teen, splitting time between ranch life and wrestling mats. At Oregon City High, he set school records for escapes and falls in a season. He wasn’t just tough he was relentless. He enlisted in the Navy at 18, earned the SEAL trident in 1991 after going through Hell Week twice, and rose to Senior Chief Petty Officer. He was a leader in combat, a corpsman, and a teammate who never left anyone behind. He earned a Bronze Star with Valor during deployments in Iraq. After the Navy, Rone kept serving with the CIA protecting American lives in dangerous places, from Central America to the Middle East. On the night of September 11, 2012, Benghazi erupted in chaos. Rone drove into the fight, armed with adrenaline and loyalty. He cleared the State Department compound, helped get Americans to safety, and ran onto the annex rooftop to defend it. He fought under mortar and RPG fire, shoulder to shoulder with his brothers. He held the line until the end. Rone was more than a warrior. He was a runner, a surfer, a Mustang guy who kept his cars pristine. He was a healer too an RN and paramedic. Friends describe him as clever, loyal, funny, and the man who would drop everything to help you. He left behind three sons and a legacy we carry every day. #TyroneWoods #Benghazi #HonorTheFallen #NeverForget #AlwaysMoveForward

He fought under mortar and RPG fire, shoulder to shoulder with his brothers. He held the line until the end. Rone was more than a warrior. He was a runner, a surfer, a Mustang guy who kept his cars pristine. He was a healer too an RN and paramedic. Friends describe him as clever, loyal, funny, and the man who would drop everything to help you. He left behind three sons and a legacy we carry every day. #TyroneWoods #Benghazi #HonorTheFallen #NeverForget #AlwaysMoveForward

What would the Founders do if they saw America today? They wouldn’t stay quiet. They wouldn’t hide. They’d speak the truth, call out corruption, and stand on principle — even if it cost them everything. This isn’t about politics anymore. This is about survival.

The Warriors Who Fought Thirteen years ago in Benghazi, when the shooting started, a handful of Americans answered the call. At the State Department compound, DSS agents were outnumbered, outgunned, and pinned down. At the CIA annex, the GRS team pushed to leave the wire and reinforce. They were told to stand down. When the radio cracked with the words “If you don’t get here now we’re all going to die”, they moved without asking. The men 2 SEALs, 2 Marines, 1 Ranger, 1 linguist, and “1 CIA staffer” knew this was survival. They fought through smoke and fire trying to get Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith out of the burning building. The air was thick with black smoke, rounds cracking overhead, explosions rattling walls. They dragged people out knowing more was coming. Back at the annex, they set security, returned fire, and held ground wave after wave. AKs, RPGs, and machine guns cut the night. They fought from wall to rooftop, adjusting, rotating, staying alive. They didn’t know if anyone else was coming. They fought anyway. Near dawn, the enemy fired mortars with deadly precision. The roof shook under the blasts. Tyrone “Rone” Woods and Glen “Bub” Doherty were killed. Others were wounded. The survivors kept fighting, refusing to let the line collapse. When it was finally over, two dozen Americans were alive who wouldn’t have been without those few men holding ground. They fought for each other. They fought for the people behind them. They fought because that’s what warriors do. They weren’t superheroes. They were flesh and blood sweating, bleeding, scared, determined. They cracked jokes in the lulls, checked ammo, passed water, cursed the dark, and got back on the gun. That’s brotherhood. That’s courage without polish. Tonight we honor the men who fought the 13 hours in Benghazi. They carried scars the world never sees, and they showed what it means to refuse to quit when quitting was the easy road. That is the truth of Benghazi. That is the truth of the warriors who stood. #Benghazi #13Hours #WarriorBrotherhood #HonorTheFallen #AlwaysMoveForward
