Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and lawyer, wasn't panicked when hijackers took over her flight on Sept. 11, 2001, from Washington Dulles airport to Los Angeles, where she was heading for an appearance on Bill Maher's TV show. She managed to call her solicitor general husband, Ted Olson, twice from the back of the plane where the terrorists, armed with knives and box cutters, herded the passengers. She reported the hijacking aboard American Airlines Flight 77 and asked what she could convey to the captain. According to the 9/11 Commission report, only Olson and flight attendant Renee May were

I started to write this at 9:11am on 9/11/21.
20 years ago, terrorists attacked America, killing thousands.
Last year Domestic terrorists, using a variety of methods and with the aid of the stupid and the trecherous, usurped the government of the United States.
Each day since, we have goose-stepped closer and closer to a totalitarion government.
On 9/11/01, there were brave patriots who said, "Let's roll!" and brought an ubrupt end to the terrorists' pans. Where are out Patriots?
When do we march out, to "Let's roll!!"?
If we do not act soon, then all of America will be a sad smoking hole in the ground, with no one to mourn her.
Come ON people!!
Please.... Let's ROLL!!

For starters, say no to the face masks. One has a 99.8% chance of surviving covid. This is a power play by the dems. I see more and more face masks now - scary how these people will follow evil people like fauci and biden. Say no to businesses that require you to wear a mask. This is a start. It will show the gov't that we still think for ourselves.

I have nothing but good things to say about their marriage and devotion to each other. My comment is about what too often happens when the next wife comes into the picture. Ted was a pillar of conservativism, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our beloved Barbara. Ted 2.0 has switched teams, to my great dismay. I don't see this as honoring Barbara.

FTA...'"There are still too many in this world who hate America and want to destroy our way of life and attack the freedoms our country offers,"'
Yes, there are too many who hate America and we count every member of the democrat party among them.

I can think of about 20 people that, if they were on that plane, America would have been better off.

Barbara evidently wore the pants in the family. Ted turned into a real pussy.

911 offers a lesson for us all. Those passengers had the numerical superiority to overwhelm these vermin. They were "trained" not to make trouble or provoke. One wonders the outcome had they enmasse revolted.
Sort of like today's pandemic and tyrannical government...and what will the "passengers" do?

It would take millions of Leftist women to add up to 1% of Barbara Olson!
Got Rest her fabulous beautiful Soul!
Today DemoNazi Terrorists infest America and are doing damage we may never be able to repair.
With Barbara's spirit and her determination, we shall OVERCOME!

#7 - Excellent and eerie extrapolation. Three of those events that morning were successfully carried through to their apocalyptic endings because every American onboard obediently did what they had been instructed to do by the federal government - in this case, the FAA. Just sit and be quiet, obey the hijackers' demands, accept the fact that you'll be inconvenienced, but in a little while you'll be home safely and everything will be all right. Those patriotic souls on the fourth plane, however, were able to add up the pieces, realize what was going on around them, and took matters into their own hands.

I briefly met Barbara Olson a year or so before her tragic death. She was a smart, funny and very exuberant person.
It is another part of the tragedy of Sept 11th that she was murdered, too.
