Patriot Day

Uncategorized 3 Minutes

I found an article on HISTORY on unknown facts about 9/11.

From HISTORY.CO.UK:

September 11th was a bleak milestone of the modern age. Many think of it as the day on which the 90s ended, and the 21st century really began. While the images of New York’s stricken skyline are seared into the collective consciousness, here are some facts you might not know about 9/11.

1 Ground Zero burned for 99 days

The combination of jet fuel and combustible matter, such as office documents and furniture, meant that the wreckage of the World Trade Center burned non-stop for 99 days. Firefighters tended to this seemingly endless inferno around the clock.

One firefighter later said: “You couldn’t even begin to imagine how much water was pumped in there. It was like you were creating a giant lake.”

2 Michael Jackson was almost a victim

The night before 9/11, Michael Jackson put on a lavish concert in New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden. He then stayed up late chatting to his mother and sister. He stayed up so late, in fact, that he overslept and missed a meeting scheduled to take place at the Twin Towers the next morning.

“We only discovered this when mother phoned his hotel to make sure he was OK,” Michael’s brother Jermaine recounted.

3 Seth MacFarlane also narrowly escaped

Another celebrity who had a near-miss on 9/11 was Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. He had a seat booked on Flight 11 but missed the departure by 10 minutes. Hungover, he decided to take a nap at the airport, waking up 45 minutes later to the surreal news that the plane he should have been on had crashed into the North Tower.

4 A woman survived 27 hours in the wreckage

Miraculously, several people were pulled alive from the scorched wreckage of the World Trade Center. The last to be saved was Genelle Guzman-McMillan, a young migrant from Trinidad and Tobago who worked as an office assistant in the North Tower.

She had been making her way down a stairwell when, as she later described, “the walls burst open and the rubble came falling down”. Somehow surviving a skyscraper collapsing on top of her, Genelle remained buried for 27 long hours before firefighters finally came across her.

5 Many British people died

Other than the US, the country that sustained the most casualties on 9/11 was the United Kingdom. No fewer than 67 Brits perished that day, and many others narrowly survived. One of the lucky ones was Scottish ex-pat Andrew Cullen, who worked in the South Tower. He owed his survival to disobeying official instructions to stay put while authorities worked out what was going on.

6 The terrorists used elaborate codenames

The 9/11 attackers referred to some of their targets using elaborate codenames. They called the Pentagon ‘the Faculty of Fine Arts’, while the North Tower of the World Trade Center was ‘the Faculty of Town Planning’.

The attacks themselves were referred to as ‘the first semester’, while the 19 terrorists were dubbed ‘19 certificates for private education’.

7 A chance encounter on a train was key

The 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta and several of his accomplices had originally planned to undertake their jihad by battling Russian forces in Chechnya. But, while travelling on a train in Germany in 1999, the group was approached by a stranger who was affiliated with Al Qaeda. As a consequence of this meeting, Atta’s group was introduced to Osama bin Laden, paving the way for 9/11.

8 One company lost the majority of its staff

Many firms based in the World Trade Center were decimated by the attacks, but none more so than investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald. The company’s offices were situated above the plane’s impact site, meaning that nobody present at work that day survived.

Of its 960 New York employees, 658 were killed. The CEO, Howard Lutnick, survived because he was taking his son to school that morning, but his younger brother Gary was among the dead.

9 The co-creator of Frasier was killed

David Angell, Emmy Award-winning co-creator of the classic sitcom Frasier, was on board American Airlines Flight 11 with his wife Lynn when it struck the North Tower. By eerie coincidence, in a 1997 episode of the show, Dr. Frasier Crane receives a phone call from someone flying in on ‘American Flight 11’.

10 One of the intended targets is still a mystery

Three of the planes hijacked on 9/11 hit their intended targets: the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was brought down after the passengers bravely rose up against the hijackers.

To date, we still don’t know for certain where the plane was heading. It’s likely to have been either the White House or the US Capitol, but experts have long disagreed on which of these iconic buildings had been on the terrorists’ radar.

11 A much bigger terrorist plot was initially proposed

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of 9/11, originally wanted to have nine planes flown into a variety of targets, including nuclear power plants. A tenth plane would have then been landed at an airport, where all male passengers would have been killed in a grisly media spectacle. This plan was deemed too complex and scaled back to “just” four planes.

    2. Morning, Pat! I didn’t watch it either and never intended to….especially since I knew I could come here or M’s to find out all about it w/o all the BS. As I said at M’s a minute ago, it saves my BP and helps preserve Jake’s hearing! LOL

      Very interesting info – I was not aware of some of that. I think the 4th plane was supposed to hit the US Capitol – more bang for their buck, so to speak! And it was a missile that hit the Pentagon, NOT a plane!!! Not to mention all the financial shenanigans that were on-going in the days leading up to 9/11.

      I took the Tweet/X post that Rodney brought and M used as her open today and turned it into a LTE for the local paper. With careful formatting, I was able to keep it to 1 page. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, Brook!!!

      Chilly this morning again at 59 but clear – after a few 90 degree days, we’re getting into the highs in the low-to-mid 80’s that are typical heading into fall w/not much rain in the forecast. Wheezer was waiting as usual but I expect he will continue to disappear when he’s “hooked up!” The breeding drive will always beat the hunger drive!

    @KamalaHarrisexceeded most people’s expectations tonight. That said, when it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job. After all, if Kamala can do great things, why hasn’t she? Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already. The question comes down to this: do you want current trends to continue for 4 more years or do you want change?

  7. I thought the mics were supposed to be muted?

    FTA

    GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump stole Vice President Kamala Harris’ line on Tuesday from the 2020 vice presidential debate, saying, “I’m talking now, if you don’t mind.”

    During the 2020 vice presidential debate, when Harris faced off against then-Vice President Mike Pence, Harris said to her opponent, “Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking.”

    On Tuesday, when Trump mentioned Harris’ record on “Defund the police,” Harris attempted to respond. “Wait a minute, I’m talking now, if you don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” Trump said.

    Many of you are probably wondering why
    @ABC
    is trying to debate Donald Trump instead of moderating. Did you know that
    @KamalaHarris
    and ABC’s news’s network chief Dana Walden have been friends for 30 years? Additionally, their husbands are also best friends.

    “Last month,
    @nytimes

    The New York Times confirmed the allegation, reporting: The executive, Dana Walden, first met Kamala Harris in 1994. Their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff have known each other since the 1980s. The Waldens are— “extraordinary friends,” per Kamala Harris, and they have donated to Harris’s political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for district attorney in San Francisco.” Cc:

  11. Weapons grade Truth from Tammy Bruce:

    Everybody, also let’s remind ourselves one of the reasons Trump is such a force and is now the nominee for the party for a third time ~~ it’s because we know how rotten the system is and what they do to us. 

    The condition of this debate proves that we have been right all along about the corrupt establishment, but also that they still see only Trump as the threat to their malign status quo. 

     This has to be looked at within that context. This was not some one-off weird thing where the media was unfair to Trump.

     This is the same media that has buried the fact that the man was shot in the face 10 weeks ago because it doesn’t suit their narrative. 

    It is so prevalent, so ubiquitous, we now see this legacy media menace as a natural part of our landscape. It doesn’t have to stay that way. 

    Of course the debate was going to be unfair, and yet he does it because it has to be done, because the American people need to see what happens, they need to witness the nature of what and who is arrayed against us. 

    Trump is back because this rotten system learned nothing from our Trump statement in 2016 and then decided to wipe him away either with lawfare or with lackadaisical security. 

    This is all or nothing for them, and they’re treating us accordingly with garbage like we saw tonight. 

     So, let’s not take our time and energy wringing our hands over micro-judging Trump and what we would’ve done or what he should’ve done. That’s a distraction. 

    This is exactly what we’ve been dealing with from the beginning. 

    The American people have already seen Harris and the Democrats for what they are. 

    The issues don’t change for Americans in general and Pennsylvanians especially. Harris won’t answer questions relevant to her positions that will affect peoples lives because she knows if she does it will destroy her chances. 

    Tonight was just an extension of what they’ve been doing from the beginning~~ lying and obfuscating about who she is and what she’s going to do to us. 

    Trump has been fighting back this monster of a bureaucratic state for almost a decade now on our behalf, don’t let this more formal presentation of our getting the shaft by the bureaucracy distract you from our mission– let it remind you of how imperative that mission is and redouble what has to be done. Voting and helping Trump win has never been more important. 

    Tonight should reinforce that fact.

    What I saw during the debate is a Vice President — Kamala — who currently has the power to make changes
    &
    has failed to use her position for the last 3 & 1/2 years.

    I saw a politician who doesn’t care
    that her failure from the Afghanistan withdrawal killed 13 soldiers;

    her failure to secure the border killed daughters, like Laken Riley;

    her failure to cut our bloated spending budget has resulted in crushing working class families;

    her failure to show strength lead to Putin invading Ukraine;

    & her plans to increase taxes are going to drive Americans into homelessness.

    Kamala came off as pompous, smug, & arrogant.

    Burning Bright, Sep 11, 2024

    EXCERPT: “First of all, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you that my focus on the Narrative War, which I’ve dubbed the War of Stories is not only more practical to follow in the winding ways of the Info War, but also more ‘Actual’ than reported actuals tend to be of late; it’s a beautiful and intentional paradox, given the latest proof just landed that we’re watching a movie in just about the most literal manner you could imagine.

    From my friend Jon Herold:

    And to which I responded:

    That’s right, folks. Whatever Actuals are in effect on the Game Theory Game Board have been put in place specifically FOR the Narrative War we’re seeing play out, and yes, that we’re actively participating in as the War of Stories rages on.

    After all, the Narrative War—the Info War itself—is a feature of the Great Awakening, and not a bug. It IS the battlefield, as far as we’re concerned, rather than being a distraction layered atop it.

    As for the latest chapter of that war? It’s been dominated by the initial gravity preceding and following the first debate between Trump and (checks notes for latest Establishment Mask) cackling, sneering, oh-so-girlboss! Kamala Harris.

    In the lead-up, the pervading sense out of the System wasn’t quite as surefooted as their demeanor immediately following might suggest. The Establishment wasn’t terrified of the prospect of the debate because they’re worried about the platform of the Kamala campaign. (There IS no platform other than the communist globalist status quo.) They were terrified because, in the absence of public mandate, all they have is the ILLUSION of public mandate, and that comes on the back of a story—one Trump front-ran with Joe Biden, and that he mirrored with Harris….”

  17. Just The News: “The collision of two Delta airlines planes on Tuesday at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta was just waiting to happen. Enough close-calls had occurred at commercial airports since January 2023 to raise the alarm of the U.S. Transportation Department’s Office of the Inspector General, which initiated an audit of runway incursions, including in July 2023. The FAA defines a “runway incursion” as “any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft.”

    According to the audit announcement on the FAA’s “efforts to prevent and mitigate runway incursions at commercial airports,” there had been a series of incidents where aircraft came “dangerously close to each other on runways, including incidents at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and Boston Logan International Airport” since January 2023. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport was not on the FAA’s audit list. 

    “FAA has classified these incidents as serious category A and B runway incursions and, with the recent uptick in these close calls at commercial airports, there has been increased scrutiny on FAA and the aviation industry to address this critical safety issue,” read the audit memorandum authored by Nelda Z. Smith, the assistant inspector general for aviation audits.

    It is unclear if that audit has been completed, or what corrective steps have been taken since it was issued last year.

    Incursion events on runways are nothing new, and can hundreds of lives in jeopardy at any moment. 

    According to Business Traveler, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in “March 27, 1977, Pan Am flight 1736 (a Boeing 747) and KLM4805, (also a Boeing 747) collided on runway 12, killing 583 passengers and crew. It was learned, however, that KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance and then collided with PAA1736 as it was taxiing on the same runway during a time of poor visibility due to weather.”

    In November of 2023, Timothy Arel, chief operating officer of the Air Traffic Organization, a division of the FAA, testified at a Senate hearing focused on “addressing close calls to improve aviation safety.”

    During the hearing, Arel outlined several actions the FAA had taken to “enhance flight safety and reduce incursions.” Arel told lawmakers that the FAA would “doggedly press for continued collaboration with industry to further enhance safety initiatives and technologies to reduce runway incursions with the goal of eliminating them.”

    According to a Politico analysis of aviation data published in May 2024, 2023 had the most “near-collisions” among commercial jets in 7 years and that summer accounting for almost half of the incidents.

    The report found that the reanimated demand for air travel since the end of the COVID pandemic has contributed to amount of near collisions on runways. Bridgett Frey, the FAA’s communications assistant administrator, said at the time of the report 4 months ago that the aviation industry and the FAA were working toward a “goal of zero serious close calls.”

  18. Just The News: “House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., predicts that President Joe Biden will pardon his son Hunter when he exits the White House. 

    “I think that there’s no doubt Joe Biden’s going to pardon his son and his brother,” Comer said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “Look, we’ve caught his brother in a deposition lying to Congress, so they’ve been referred to the Department of Justice. The brother is in just as much trouble as the son.”

    The House Oversight Committee during President Joe Biden’s time in office has launched numerous probes and investigations into first son Hunter Biden for allegedly being involved in his father’s overseas business deals and profiting from his family. Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to criminal tax charges this week.

    “Joe Biden’s definitely going to pardon them on the way out,” he said. Comer said that there were some successes in the Hunter Biden investigation. “Obviously Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and Hunter Biden pled guilty,” he said. “I would consider that a pretty successful investigation at the end of the day.”

  24. gwp posted a list of fact checks that the Trump Campaign was ding DURING the debate. I’m gonna make each a separate comment–cause there’s a ton of them! lol (i started at the bottom)

    President Trump claimed it’d be a “bloodbath” for the U.S. auto industry if the Harris-Biden electric vehicle mandate takes hold — and he’s exactly right.

    • Harris-Biden’s new EPA rule requires 70 percent of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. be electric or hybrid by 2032 — and Kamala Harris wants to take it further with a full “transition” to electric vehicles.
      • A ban on gas-powered vehicles would eliminate almost 200,000 auto manufacturing jobs in the U.S. — particularly in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
    • The average cost of a new electric vehicle is more than $56,000 and typically purchased by higher-income Americans with generous, taxpayer-funded subsidies— an attack on working-class Americans already struggling to afford groceries and utilities under Harris-Biden.
    • Electric vehicles, which make up just seven percent of new car sales, are prone to failing in freezing temperatures, require frequent charging, and have limited hauling capacity — restricting their utility in industries like farming and construction.
    • Millions of Americans who work in the oil and natural gas and agriculture industries, as well as those who own small businesses like mechanic and auto repair shops, will be among the hardest hit while having virtually no effect on global temperatures.
    • Meanwhile, it’d increase dependence on communist China, which is already the leading global exporter of vehicles and home to 85 percent of the elements required for EV batteries.

    1. FACT CHECK: Harris-Walz’s NO GROWTH Energy Future

      Kamala’s energy agenda would have devastating effects on states like Pennsylvania — the third-largest fossil fuel producing state, where the oil and natural gas industry directly accounts for 93,000+ jobs and supports hundreds of thousands more.

      The Harris-Walz energy agenda would destroy Pennsylvania’s economy as we know it:

      Tim Walz takes Kamala’s destructive positions even further to the left:

      Britain already followed the Harris-Walz route on “net zero,” which led to their worst peacetime economic growth since 1780 and explosive electricity costs for consumers and businesses.

      Nationwide, electricity prices have already surged 30%+ under Harris — but Harris-Walz will make it exponentially worse.

        • The Harris-Biden policy of appeasement has enriched the Iranian regime with tens of billions of dollars, which enabled hundreds of attacks by Iran-backed proxies on U.S. personnel in the Middle East – and the deaths of more U.S. service members.
        • The Harris-Biden administration allowed a Chinese spy balloon to surveil sensitive U.S. military sites, watched as China secretly built military facilities in neighboring countries, failed to address their human rights abuses, and twice committed U.S. forces to defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion before promptly walking the statements back.
        • The Harris-Biden reversal of President Trump’s decision to cut Palestinian aid — which often flows right into the hands of terrorists — enabled the worst attack on Israel in decades. Now, Kamala has sacrificed America’s greatest ally simply to maintain support from her antisemitic base.
        • Eleven U.S. embassies across the globe have been evacuated under Kamala as our enemies become increasingly emboldened by her disastrous foreign policy.

        Under President Donald J. Trump, Iran was weak, ISIS was eliminated, Hamas was cut off, historic peace was descending on the Middle East, Russia was under control, and there hadn’t been a U.S. service member killed in Afghanistan in 18 months.

          Kamala’s so-called housing “assistance” plan would only worsen the affordability crisis by squeezing demand and causing home prices to rise even more, accordingto economists.

    1. FACT CHECK: Kamala’s Crime Spin Is NOT Reality

      When Kamala took office, the FBI changed how it collects crime data. Now, the FBI’s Q1 2024 data is missing nearly a third of the nation’s law enforcement agencies — including from many of the most violent cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and New Orleans.

      A much more accurate picture emerges from the DOJ’s National Crime Victimization Survey, which shows crime is WAY UP over pre-pandemic levels.

      • There was a 43% increase in violent crimes, a 58% increase in rapes, an 89%increase in aggravated assaults, and a 56% increase in robberies between 2020 and 2022, the most recent year for which data is available.
      • More Americans were victims of violent crimes in 2022 than in any year since 2012.
      • Kamala has presided over three of the four most murderous years in the last quarter century.
      • Even using the flawed FBI data, there has been a 10% increase in the average annual number of homicides under Kamala (20,700) compared to President Trump (18,627).
      • In most cities, murder rates remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.

      The data is also missing an entirely new category of crime against U.S. citizens at the hands of illegal aliens Kamala has ferried in — HARRIS MIGRANT CRIME.

      ADVERTISEMENT

      • Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of five, was raped and strangled to death by an illegal alien in 2023. Her partially naked body was found in a drainage tunnel near a hiking trail.
      • Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia, was savagely murdered by an illegal alien who strangled her and beat her over the head with a rock as she was out for a jog.
      • Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl, was brutally murdered by two illegal aliens who lured her under a bridge, tied her up, and sexually assaulted her for hours before killing her and throwing her body into a bayou. One of her assailants was wearing an ICE ankle monitor as he committed the heinous crimes.

      President Donald J. Trump will END the lawlessness once again.

      1. FACT CHECK: Border Czar Kamala Owns The Invasion She Created

        Kamala has owned the Harris-Biden border crisis from the start, admitting their policy was to “undo” President Trump’s successful border security.

        • The Harris-Biden administration took 94 executive actions in the first 100 days to dismantle President Trump’s border security — including halting construction of the border wall and ending the “Remain in Mexico” policy.
        • In March 2021, Kamala was crowned “border czar.”
          • In April 2021 — the first full month since Kamala officially assumed her role — illegal crossings shot up 128% (178,795) compared to the month she took office (78,414).
          • It only got worse from there, with monthly illegal crossings nearly doubling during her tenure — remaining above 150,000/month almost every single month.
          • For context, illegal border crossings averaged around 50,000/month under President Trump.
        • The number of illegals RELEASED into the country also skyrocketed under Kamala — going from two-digit monthly releases during the Trump administration to five- and six-digit monthly releases under Harris-Biden.

        Kamala would take it ten steps further if she is elected in November:

        • Kamala wants to make every state a “sanctuary state.”
        • Kamala backs MASS AMNESTY for millions of illegals already in the country.
        • Kamala supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
        • Kamala thought Barack Obama deported too many illegal immigrants.
        • Kamala compared ICE officers to the KKK and said we need to start “from scratch” with the agency that arrests and deports rapists and killers.
        • Kamala supports taxpayer-funded health care coverage for illegal immigrants.
        • Kamala wants to shut down immigration detention centers and release thousands of criminals.
        • Kamala said a border wall is “medieval” and mocked the idea that terrorists would take advantage of our southern border.
        • As a senator, Kamala urged the Senate not to fund additional Border Patrol personnel.

        The “border czar” — who has visited the southern border only ONCE (to a “politically safe” area) — owns the consequences of the millions of illegal aliens who have invaded U.S. communities and unleashed an unprecedented era of needless and preventable migrant crime on American citizens.

        President Donald J. Trump will begin mass deportations on day one.

        1. FACT CHECK: Harris-Walz, Democrats Are The Real Abortion Extremists

          Harris and Walz support taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand until the moment of birth — which is grossly out of touch with the American people:

          ADVERTISEMENT

          • Kamala couldn’t name a single limit she supports on abortion-on-demand.
          • Walz legalized unrestricted abortion-on-demand until birth in Minnesota.
            • Walz also opposed requiring lifesaving care for babies born alive after botched abortions, opposed prohibiting sex-selective abortions, and supported allowing abortions to be performed outside hospitals by individuals other than doctors.
          • Nearly three quarters of Americans OPPOSE abortion after 15 weeks, while just ten percent believe there should be no limits.
          • More Americans support protecting unborn babies at 15 weeks than oppose restrictions – including majorities of Democrats, independents, and women.

          Harris’ extreme position is echoed across her administration, campaign, and party:

          • Harris spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre has routinely declined to specify what, if any, limits the Harris-Biden administration supports on abortion-on-demand.
          • Harris-Biden HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra repeatedly declined to name a single restriction the Harris-Biden administration supports on third-trimester abortions.
          • Top Harris surrogate Gavin Newsom backed unrestricted abortion-on-demand.
          • Top Harris surrogate Michelle Lujan Grisham confirmed her support for “no limits” on abortion.
          • Top Harris surrogate Raphael Warnock suggested “even God” favors unrestricted abortion-on-demand.
          • Top Harris surrogate Katie Hobbs declined — five times — to specify a limit she’d support on abortion-on-demand.
          • Top Harris surrogate Ralph Northam endorsed infanticide for fully developed children born during the third trimester of pregnancy: “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue…”
          • “I’m not gonna respond to that,” Biden said when asked if he supports “limits” on abortion-on-demand.

          President Trump supports the rights of individual states to make that decision for themselves.

  26. FACT CHECK: Yes, Kamala Owns The Harris-Biden Economic Failure

    American families have been ravaged by the high cost of living under Harris-Biden — and she owns every bit of it.  She has even repeatedly claimed that “Bidenomics is working” and that she is “proud” of Bidenomics

    UNDER KAMALA HARRIS:

    • The Kamala economy has wiped out more than 80% of Americans’ personal savings since January 2021 — nearly $3 trillion.
    • Americans have been subjected to the longest period of high inflation in more than three decades, which has cost the average family an extra $28,000 paying for the increased cost of living.
    • Overall prices have soared by 20.2%, while real average weekly earnings have declined by 3.9%.
    • Energy prices have soared 13 times faster than the previous seven years.
    • The median housing payment has increased nearly $1,000/month, with overall housing costs up nearly 50% as the cost of homeownership hits its highest in three decades.
    • Americans’ collective credit card debt has reached another all-time high.

    Moreover, Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote for the American Rescue Plan, which evenliberal economists admit drove prices to record highs — and has approved an astonishing, inflation-accelerating $11 trillion in spending.

    Kamala is in office right now — so why hasn’t she done anything about the high prices? All she has done is make things worse as she pushes for trillions in tax hikes, socialized health care, and welfare for illegals.

    Her only solution so far is a Soviet-style price fixing scheme that will inevitably lead to food lines, shortages, and skyrocketing inequality.

    Americans know they are BETTER OFF WITH TRUMP!

    “Recent Study Shows Self-Assembly Nanobots in the COVID-19 Injectables: Research from Korea and Japan confirm previous reports of nanotech in the COVID-19 injectables”

    Greg Reese, Sep 11, 2024

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Recently published research from Korea and Japan confirm previous reports we’ve heard of nanotech in the COVID-19 injectables.

    Contents of the COVID-19 injectables produced by Pfizer and Moderna were examined under a stereo-microscope at four-hundred-times magnification. Specimens were cultured in different media to observe the effect they had on living cells.

    The study concluded that the anomalous injuries that have occurred worldwide since the injectables were “pressed upon billions of individuals,” were caused by the nanotechnology contents of the COVID-19 injectables.

    The research found cellular toxicity, and over the course of a few weeks, simple one dimensional structures grew into complex three dimensional structures. Numerous artificial self-assembling nano-sized objects of many different shapes. Including animated worm-like entities, discs, chains, spirals, tubes, and right-angle structures containing other artificial structures within them. Some structures even “seemed to appear and then disappear over time.” All of this was found to be well “beyond any expected and acceptable levels of contamination.”

    This was first reported on nearly three years ago by Ricardo Delgado and La Quinta Columna, out of Spain. Who found a relationship between the nano-tech and 5G

    “The Fifth Column recently published their findings and conclusions on the strange self-assembling nano tech they discovered in the Pfizer mRNA vaccines via Optical Microscopy Analysis. The objects they found in the vaccine correspond with known items in the scientific record. And the conclusion they come to seems quite clear, that the well documented scientific goal to use nanotechnology in living human beings to form networks capable of controlling several nanomachines, is currently being deployed in the COV-19 vaccines” ~ Greg Reese “5G Powered Graphene Based Nano-Tech in the Pfizer Vaccine” (2022)

    5G towers were fired up for the first time in Wuhan the same time they were reportedly experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak. David Icke said there was a relationship between COVID-19 and 5G back in 2020. And it got him banned.

    Using Dark-field microscopy, Doctor Ana Maria Mihalcea has found these same artificial nano-structures in the blood of both those who got the COVID-19 injectables, and those who did not.

    Decades ago, Silicon Valley guru Ray Kurzweil, said that by 2045, most of human civilization will be non-biological machines thanks to the advancements of nano-robots which could cure aging and death.

    While talk of mRNA is making it easily into the mainstream, the nano-tech is being ignored.

    According to the work at La Quinta Columna, there is no mRNA spike protein. According to their research, it’s all about the nano-tech. Which they recently reported can be “totally destroyed” by a nicotine mixture derived from tobacco and distilled water.

    Hopefully this nicotine study will be repeated by other independent scientists, because the mass infection of humanity with experimental nano-tech has now been ignored for at least three years. And all sides of political leadership are steering us towards a brave new world of A.I. and the internet of things. Where being an organic human being seems to not be an option.”

  38. Just The News: “House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday said that there would be “no vote today” on a continuing resolution and the SAVE Act.

    The Louisiana Republican said that has to work through the rest of the week to “build consensus,” according to Punchbowl founder Jake Sherman.

    A source told Just the News that the vote will likely happen next week. 

    Johnson on Tuesday said during a press conference that he and members of the House were going to vote on a continuing resolution and a critical election integrity bill this week. 

    The SAVE Act requires voters to show proof of citizenship before voting in a U.S. election.”

  39. “Donald Trump, In Vintage Form, Emerged Out Of ABC’s Lion’s Den Victorious: President Trump delivered a vintage debate performance last night, taking on not only Kamala Harris, but ABC’s two debate monitors as well.”

    Paul Ingrassia, Sep 11, 2024

    EXCERPT: “President Trump delivered a vintage debate performance last night, taking on not only Kamala Harris, but ABC’s two debate monitors, David Muir and Linsey Davis, whose hostile questions and fact-checking primarily, if not exclusively, were directed at the 45th President.   The 45th President displayed a masterclass in polemics to over 50 million viewers – with fair-minded commentators ranking it among one of the President’s best. 

    He repeatedly drilled down on the issues that matter to voters this election season – above all, Kamala’s catastrophic border crisis, which has unleashed tens of millions of criminal invaders into the country with impunity, bringing lethal drugs like fentanyl as well as unprecedented barbarity, including drug cartels and human trafficking, which have no analogue in American history.  

    The tenor of the President’s remarks and style were apropos the gravity and extraordinarily high stakes of this election cycle: fierce yet reserved, intense yet thoughtful, serious and sober.  In sharp contrast, Kamala Harris reeked of juvenility and weakness throughout, nervously trying to cackle herself out of uncomfortable situations addressing problems for which she is chiefly responsible.  This includes the outbreak of the Ukraine War that observed Vladimir Putin send troops into Eastern Europe just three days after she was tasked by Joe Biden to broker peace in the region. 

    This was in response to Putin sensing her weakness, a point that President Trump stressed, as well as observing just months prior Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. The catastrophic pullout directly caused the deaths of 13 American troops and left millions of dollars of equipment behind for dangerous terrorists to swoop up – this country’s greatest foreign policy blunder in living memory.

    Moreover, the President dealt another haymaker when he excoriated Kamala’s mismanagement of the border when she was designated as the Biden administration’s “border czar.”  The President pulled no punches when he declared, “[The migrants are] eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” referring to an influx of recent Haitian arrivals in Springfield, Ohio, who have been reported – and corroborated by a police report, despite the gaslighting of ABC’s erroneous “fact-checkers” – to be eating American pets, bringing the barbaric and uncivilized practices of the Third World to these shores…..”

    —————–

    Among CNN’s audience, when asked who would better handle the economy, President Trump’s numbers improved after the debate.  Entering the night, 53% of CNN’s left-leaning audience thought President Trump would do a better job handling the economy compared with 37% for Harris.  After the debate, President Trump’s numbers increased to 55%, and Harris correspondingly dropped to 33%.

  40. “It was the dogs. The dogs are what got me. A few years ago we visited the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and we saw a lot. Twisted steel girders. Baby-faced portraits of the deceased. Mutilated emergency vehicles.

    But it was the dogs that wrecked me. The dog exhibit is pretty small. Located in the far corner of the museum, with photographs of search and rescue dogs. You see dogs nosing through rubble, wearing safety harnesses. You see them in their prime. They’re all deceased now. But they were spectacular.

    There was Riley.  Golden retriever. He was trained to find living people. But, he didn’t find any. Instead, he recovered the remains of firefighters. Riley kept searching for a live survivor, but found none. Riley’s morale tanked.

    “I tried my best to tell Riley he was doing his job,” said his handler. “He had no way to know that when firefighters and police officers came over to hug him, and for a split second you can see them crack a smile—that Riley was succeeding at doing an altogether different job. He provided comfort. Or maybe he did know.”

    There was Coby and Guiness. Black and yellow Labs. From California. Surfer dogs. They found dozens of human remains. And Abigail. Golden Lab. Happy. Energetic. Committed. Big fan of bacon. Sage. A border collie. Cheerful. Endless energy. Her first mission was searching the Pentagon wreckage after the attacks. She recovered the body of the terrorist who piloted American Airlines Flight 77.

    Jenner. Black Lab. At age 9, he was one of the oldest dogs on the scene. Jenner’s handler, Ann Wichmann, remembers: “It was 12 to 15 stories high of rubble and twisted steel. My first thought was, ‘I can’t send Jenner into that…’ At one point, [Jenner] disappeared down a hole under the rubble and I was like, ‘Ugggggh!’ Such a heart-stopping moment…”

    Trakr. German Shepherd. Tireless worker. Worked until he couldn’t stand up anymore. Trakr found Genelle Guzman-McMillan, who was trapped for 27 hours among the debris. Genelle was as good as dead, until the cold nose poked through the mangled steel.

    Apollo. German shepherd. An NYPD police dog. Coal-black muzzle. Liquid eyes. The first dog on the scene, only 15 minutes after the attacks. Apollo worked 18-hour days. Once, he was nearly killed in a fire during his search. But Apollo had been drenched in water and he was quick on his feet. No injuries.

    Jake. Labrador. As a puppy, Jake was found on the side of the road in Dallas. Abandoned. Left for dead. Like trash. He had a dislocated hip and a broken leg. They made him a rescue dog. Jake worked until his body threatened to collapse from exhaustion. After his shifts, local New York merchants saw his rescue-dog vest and treated him to free steak dinners in upscale Manhattan restaurants.

    And, of course, there was Bretagne. Golden Retriever. Easygoing. Dutiful. Obsessed with food. Her owner and trainer, Denise Corliss, a firefighter from Harris County, Texas, brought Bretagne to Ground Zero while the rubble was still hot. Bretagne went straight to work. She worked for 10 days solid. Ten agonizing days. Bretagne never quit. She napped onsite.

    Denise recalls: “…There are images of Bretagne going to where she was directed to search, into the unknown, the chaotic environment. But even then, she knew who needed the comfort of a dog, and which firefighter needed to hold her close and stroke her fur.”

    After 9/11, Bretagne also helped recovery efforts during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Ivan. She retired at age 9. Old age finally overtook her, she had a hard time using stairs, so Denise installed an above-ground pool to keep Bretagne’s joints limber. In retirement, Bretagne became a reading dog at a local elementary school. First graders, too shy to read aloud, would read to a white-faced, elderly retriever who looked them in the eyes and smiled.

    Bretagne visited students with special needs. She visited students with autism. She visited everyone. She suffered kidney failure at age 16. She was put to sleep on June 7, 2016, and became the last of the 9/11 rescue dogs to end her earthly career. Bretagne hobbled into the Cypress, Texas, animal hospital, one sunny Monday, only to discover the sidewalks and hallways were lined with firefighters, first responders, and rescue workers who saluted her. Her remains were later escorted from the hospital, draped in an American flag.

    We do not deserve dogs. — My dear friend posted this, and I share it with you.

  45. View from Lady Lake: “A slight remembrance of that fateful day: I was working on a house in Manasquan, NJ and had to go to Town Hall to pick up some permit updates. I heard there that something had happened but there was only one TV in the place and the Mayor’s office door was locked so they couldn’t get in to watch. I hurried back to the jobsite – the house was right on First Avenue. The owner had the TV on and when I saw what happened, I went up on the beach (just around the corner) and this is an approximation of what we could see from there on the beach – nearly 60 miles away. It was a crazy day.”
