Jon Lynch was 13 years old when he woke up on September 11, 2001 - not knowing that he would never see his father again. Like any other normal day, Lynch rolled out of bed, had breakfast and went to school. It all seemed unremarkable; until it wasn't.He was sitting in his middle-school art class in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, when the teacher turned on the television to witness black smoke billowing out of the first tower of the World Trade Center. 'I was an oblivious teenage boy. I don't remember really thinking anything at all until I got a call from the office.'

President Biden claims recent hurricanes prove we’re in a “climate crisis” — “code red” for the world, he warns. White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy adds that climate is now a “health emergency.”It’s convenient for politicians to treat every hurricane, tornado and flood as an apocalyptic sign from Gaia — and then blame political apostates for offending the goddess. But it’s an irrational way to think about the world. Because our situation is, in most ways, quantifiably better than before on nearly every front.
The Taliban is carrying out reprisal attacks against former soldiers and government workers, the UN has been told - as video emerged showing Islamist fighters forcing young men into car boots in the capital Kabul.Michelle Bachelet, speaking at the Human Rights Council on Monday, said she has seen 'credible reports' that Taliban fighters are searching house-to-house to track down anyone who helped the former government or US.'Officials who worked for previous administrations and their family members [are] being arbitrarily detained,' she said. 'In some cases, the officials were released, and in others, they were found dead.'
Donald Trump has called President Joe Biden's Afghanistan troop withdrawal 'incompetent' and warned that a US absence will allow China and Russia to reverse-engineer American military equipment that was left behind.Trump told 'Full Measure' host Sharyl Attkisson that Biden's handling of the withdrawal could endanger the country while helping its enemies. 'How can they take this equipment? I guarantee that China, Russia already have our helicopters, they're taking them apart to find out exactly how they're made,'
Thanks to its close proximity to Mexico, Tucson Arizona has long been a national-level distribution center for illicit drugs that have been illegally trafficked across the southern border.Drug traffickers only have to cross about 65 miles of desert to reach the city and the endless network of isolated trails along the way provide the perfect path to complete the journey undetected.Trump made securing the area a top priority and was able to construct almost 245 miles of wall along the Arizona-Mexico border,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called Senator Joe Manchin 'patronizing' for referring to her as a 'young lady' as the two Democrats spar over his objections to the party's massive spending bill. Manchin appeared on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday to explain his concerns with President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion plan for social and environmental spending, denying Ocasio-Cortez's allegation that he has 'weekly huddles' with Exxon executives.'I don't know that young lady that well, I really don't. I met her one time between sets here, but that's it. We've not had any conversations.
Former President Donald Trump slammed Democrat President Joe Biden in a statement on Saturday over his highly controversial pullout from Afghanistan, which left 13 U.S. soldiers dead and numerous Americans left behind.“For the great people of our Country, this is very a sad day,” Trump’s statement began. “September 11th represents great sorrow for our Country. Many things were displayed that day, including most importantly the bravery of our police, fire, and first responders of every kind. The job they did was truly unbelievable. We love them, and we thank them.”

Increasingly of late, parents all across the country seem to be getting pretty upset about how children in both public and private schools are being indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory (CRT). Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have endorsed teaching CRT at all grade levels.Those parents who believe there may be some safe haven at independent schools in the United States should realize that even such prestigious private schools as the Dalton School , the Groton School , the Loomis Chaffee School , Phillips Academy Andover , Phillips Exeter Academy, and the Lawrenceville School (my alma mater), have all endorsed CRT.
Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly isn’t buying the “happy talk” about New York City’s post-pandemic future.Speaking on Sunday on WABC Radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” the former two-time NYPD boss said the city’s recovery is still a work in progress.“You see all of these small stores and businesses that still remain closed. Many of them you know will never reopen. I hope New York comes back and comes back soon,” Kelly told host John Catsimatidis. “I don’t see the indicators of that. There’s a lot of happy talk that says it’s coming back, but I think we have a long way to go.”
On the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart announced that he believed that Trump supporters are more of a threat than the Taliban or ISIS.
Capehart called out 'MAGA and the domestic threat', which he said was far 'more worrisome than any foreign threat', during an appearance at PBS NewsHour on Friday.The Washington Post columnist and news host went on to describe the last several years as 'one giant step forward, and then two giant steps back.' 'One giant step forward was the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States, first black president. But a huge step back was
Bill Maher took aim at the NFL for playing Lift Every Voice and Sing - otherwise known as the black national anthem - at Thursday's game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.The Real Time with Bill Maher host warned that having two different national anthems, based on race, was a slippery slope to 'segregation' but 'under a different name,' he said.'I think when you go down a road where you're having two different national anthems, colleges... have different graduation ceremonies for black and white, separate dorms... this is what I mean: segregation,' Maher said

The husband of the only female New York City police officer who was killed helping to rescue people during the 9/11 attacks said on the 20th anniversary of the country’s worst terrorist incident that ‘defund the police’ Democrats are likely to start pushing that agenda again after pretending to embrace the “heroes” who died.James “Jim” Smith, 60, husband of NYPD officer Moira Smith, said elected “anti-police” politicians should not have been embracing “heroes” on Saturday during various events to mark the occasion of the attacks.That said, Smith said he expects to see some of those same politicians mugging for photographs on the anniversary of the attacks “with their

Gavin Newsom (D).In a video posted Sunday evening, Voight urged his fellow Americans to rid California of the “horror” that is Gavin Newsom, ushering in a new era of the once Golden State.(Tweet/Video) Voight stated: My fellow Americans, we are in a disgusting war of left-wing mentality. How can we live with our children being exposed to this left, our governor Newsom, and his demands for shots? How can we be taken down by such wrongdoing against our freedom, our rights as humans, as Americans? Let us vote for Elder, Larry Elder.

Model Ella Emhoff was spotted walking hand-in-hand with GQ editor Sam Hine during New York Fashion Week, just weeks after she confirmed the romance in a magazine interview. The pair were pictured outside of Thom Browne's Spring 2022 show on Saturday wearing the menswear designer's creations—evidenced by his signature ribbon detail. Emhoff walked the runway for Proenza Schouler on Wednesday, but is apparently taking some time off to enjoy other shows.(Snip)It's no question why Emhoff was invited. The vice-president's step-daughter wore a full outfit by the 56-year-old NYC designer to a COVID memorial before President Joe Biden's inauguration in January.
Many media and political figures expressed outrage online after former President George W. Bush appeared to use his speech commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11 to compare January 6 Capitol protesters to the Islamic terrorists who viciously attacked America, killing nearly three thousands innocents and wounding more than double that number.Speaking at the 9/11 memorial service for Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, Bush recalled the September 11 attacks while warning of future terrorist threats to the United States.“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within,” he said.
I held off on writing about the “F*** Joe Biden” chants that began at college football games a couple of weeks ago. I had three reasons. First, I’m not a fan of obscenities because I think they cheapen speech. Second, these chants were initially small groups at Southern colleges, which really didn’t seem like a “thing.” Third, I wasn’t going to get excited until I learned whether the chants had legs. Well, it turns out they do have legs and they’re becoming large chants at multiple games (including New York baseball games). And most importantly, Joe Biden knows about them and isn’t happy.
A student senator at Washington University is being accused of snatching up 2,977 American flags to commemorate the lives lost in the 9/11 terror attacks on the 20th anniversary before throwing them in trash bags. Fadel Alkilani, who serves as chairman of the student senate finance committee at the St Louis, Missouri university, is allegedly seen filling blue trash bags with the minature flags used as part of the 9/11: Never Forget Project memorial. A video posted to Twitter by the Young Americans for Freedom, show as the cameraman confronts Alkilani.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that they did not hear President Donald Trump’s 2020 election case because it did not meet “normal criteria.”
Anchor Chris Wallace said, “One of your arguments against seeing the court’s political is the fact that it refused to even hear the appeals from the Trump campaign about the 2020 election. Didn’t even hear it them.”
In a video, former President Donald Trump said, “No judge has had the courage, including the Supreme Court — I am so disappointed in them...
George W. Bush appeared at Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to honor those who died on 9/11. It was an interesting speech, but not necessarily in a good way. (snip) Bush said that Islamic violent extremists are the same as domestic violent extremists when it comes to their “disregard of human life.” The big question is whether Bush was referring to Antifa and BLM or to the January 6 protesters—and, interestingly, everybody assumes he was speaking about the latter. (snip) Considering that the January 6 protesters killed no one and destroyed nothing, the words are inapposite to them. They apply perfectly to BLM and Antifa
There’s a reason that the folks who plan Joe Biden’s days decided that he shouldn’t give any official remarks today as he visited the three 9/11 sites for remembrance ceremonies. I think they knew that if he opened his mouth and stuck his foot in it on such a solemn occasion, this time it would be before the world and it would be too hard for media to ignore.
So as we reported earlier, they prerecorded some remarks for him where he spoke, gazing off into the distance, about “unity,” and looking like death warmed over.
He did show up at the 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero and then later

Americans are fuming and pessimistic at this time, that’s for sure. A new CNN poll finds that 74% of U.S. adults now say they are “very or somewhat angry” about the way things are going in the U.S. today—that includes 88% of Republicans, 70% of independents and even 67% of Democrats. But wait, there’s more. Another 69% of U.S. adults now say that things are going “pretty or very badly” in the country these days—that includes 91% of Republicans, 72% of independents and 49% of Democrats. And by the way, illegal immigration is still a concern for many in this nation. The CNN survey also found that 77%

The wheels of insanity in the OBiden Administration are about to fall off again. Rather than solidifying President Trump’s policy of peace in the Middle East, OBiden’s actions are likely to blow the entire region up into another OBiden mess.
President Trump went to the Middle East and visited world religious leaders on his first overseas visit in an effort to bring peace to the Middle East. President Trump inherited ISIS terrorizing the Middle East as well as Iran and both these terrorist entities were backed by the OBiden gang.
President Trump’s strategy was peace, not horror and destruction.
San Francisco—The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America installed its first openly transgender bishop in a service held in San Francisco's Grace Cathedral on Saturday. The Rev. Megan Rohrer will lead one of the church's 65 synods, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in Northern California and northern Nevada. “My call is… to be up to the same messy, loving things I was up to before,” Rohrer told worshippers. “But mostly, if you'll let me, and I think you will, my hope is to love you and beyond that, to love what you love.”
