“Braveheart” is a fantastic film — really, Mel Gibson at his finest. But the real Braveheart wouldn’t look anything like handsome, fit and refined Gibson. He’d look like America’s incoming Border Czar: Tom “Iron Jaw” Homan.
Okay, that’s a nickname I made up just now, but it certainly fits the bill. And at least one artists’ rendering shows the resemblance is uncanny. (Click here to watch Daily Caller documentary ‘American Squatter’)

As the legend goes, William “Braveheart” Wallace was born in 1270 to minor nobility and led a sustained guerrilla uprising against Scotland’s powerful English oppressors. In other words, a good old fashioned war lord. While the film might have been violent by 90’s standards, it’s got nothing on the bone shattering, flesh ripping, eye gouging, belly gutting carnage that surely took place during the real thing. And Homan’s early ancestors could have easily been Wallace’s contemporaries.
The surname “Homan” is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and was first recorded in the county of Huntingdonshire in 1273. He seems to be, like Wallace surely was, the type of guy to obliterate his enemies with nothing but righteous rage and bare knuckles — and several hundred years ago, he just might have. There’s no official stats, but Homan is clearly an absolute unit, the true inheritor of ancient war lord stature. Take this picture of him next to a mounted Border Patrol regiment; he makes these men look like boys, and their horses look like ponies. Just imagine him with a longsword or swinging a mace. With shoulders broader than an eagle’s wingspan, he could single-handedly withstand a cavalry charge, but it’s his berserker Scots-Irish stare that says it all: Somewhere along this bloodline, skulls were crushed in the name of God, King and Country.
So Homan passes the physiognomy check: The MAGA agenda demands a warrior-patriot singularly focused on the restoration of American sovereignty at the border, and Donald Trump seems to have found his guy.
