MAYOR DEB ROGERS
INTERVIEWS TOM TRENTO

On September 11, 2001, Tom Trento, Executive Director for The United West, remembers watching the World Trade Center buildings go down.
“I knew at that point that the world’s gonna change. That this thing called Islam has unleashed its ‘jihad’ now on the United States.”
Thus, 9/11 prompted Trento to take action by going back to school from 2001 to 2006 and “filling up on this thing called Islam and the Middle East.” Trento’s mantra is well-defined: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”
Tom Trento acknowledges that his home state of Florida “was a launching pad to 9/11 due to all of the 19 jihadi terrorists had some relationship to Florida, either training an aircraft, or living or getting financing or support groups or mosques.”
Since then, Trento’s daily motivation lies a mere 2,000 feet from his home…the apartment where Mohamed Atta, the ringleader of the September 11 attacks, had lived.
Fast forward to March 2011, The United West, formerly known as The Florida Security Council, was born.
The United West is an educational, counter-terrorism organization whose primary goal is to expose anti-American activity, in particular the Muslim Brotherhood and its capabilities in the United States.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Islamist movement that believes Islam should guide all aspects of life and aims for a state ruled by Sharia (law) by gradually Islamizing society.
Trento asserts, “If the Muslim Brotherhood is true to its manifesto, engaging in a civilization jihad, against the West, then it is the height of foolishness to think as though we are not engaged in a knock-down-drag-out, battle for the American way of life.
They are at war.
We better be too…”

Following many years serving as a community volunteer, Deb decided to take civic duty to the next level by taking a seat on the Village of Williamsville, NY Board of Trustees. In June 2019, Deb was elected as Mayor of Williamsville, a liberal stronghold in New York State. Nine months into her role as Mayor, COVID hit.
New York state was the epicenter of government overreach with lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates. "Mayor Deb" held a dissenting voice over government overreach and tyrannical regulations that were put into place. As such, Mayor Deb was viciously attacked by the mainstream media. She continues to stand up.
