Things stopped working in this country about 50 years ago. But it wasn’t really noticeable until a few decades later. I like to date the beginning of the decay to the summer of 1969, though it’s impossible to put a precise date on it. Still, the summer of 1969 was an inflection point much more important than 1967’s “Summer of Love.”Consider: On July 20, 1969, Apollo XI landed on the moon and 39 minutes later, on July 21, Neil Armstrong became the first man to stand on its surface. A few weeks later, on the night of August 8, the Manson family broke into Roman Polanski’s Hollywood Hills home

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
Actor and Trump supporter Jon Voight has proudly endorsed Larry Elder in the election to recall California Gov. 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.
Where can patriotism be?We relived 9/11. That whole day and night my street heard sirens. Ambulances. Police cars. Fire trucks. Emergency vehicles. My friend Dr. Bob Lahita, who runs New Jersey medical facilities and is on their emergency responder list, manned the triage unit across the river 24 hours nonstop.I also remember the cohesion, unity, togetherness immediately afterward. The patriotism. Taxis flew the American flag. Buildings sprouted stars and stripes. People wore red, white and blue buttons, caps decorated with symbols. It was one-for-all. For patriotism. For the United States.
A professor at Syracuse University has drawn strong reactions for a tweet calling the attacks on September 11, 2001 a strike against 'heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems'.Jenn M. Jackson, an assistant professor of political science, made the remarks in a series of tweets on Friday, a day before the 20th anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,977 people. 'We have to be more honest about what 9/11 was and what it wasn't. It was an attack on the heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems that America relies upon to wrangle other countries into passivity,' wrote Jackson,
The movement seemed to start spontaneously last weekend.As we reported, suddenly, folks at college football games and other events like concerts were chanting “F**k Joe Biden!” What’s sort of amazing about it all is that college students are generally some of the most liberal folks you’re going to find on the planet. But, obviously, not the folks we’re seeing behind all this, and that’s a positive right there.Now, I’m not necessarily a big fan of expletives. But this isn’t just random cursing. It indicates they are engaged and involved in what’s been going on — and they’re letting Biden know that they’re not happy with what he’s done,

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.
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.
Lowville, New York—Lewis County General Hospital will stop delivering babies after September 24 because too many maternity unit workers have resigned over COVID vaccination mandates. That’s according to Lewis County Health System Chief Executive Officer Gerald Cayer, who held a news conference Friday in Lowville. He said 6 employees in the maternity unit resigned rather than get a COVID shot and another 7 are undecided. According to Cayer, the hospital will be unable to safely staff the unit and will pause delivering babies after September 24.(Snip)Cayer said 165 hospital employees have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19; that’s 27 percent of the workforce.
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
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.”
The second openly transgender MMA fighter in the US has won her debut match—reigniting the debate over trans women in sports. Alana McLaughlin, 38, won her first professional fight in the Combate Global prelims Friday against Celine Provost, ending the match with a rear-naked choke 3 minutes and 32 seconds into the second round. McLaughlin, from South Carolina, began her transition in 2010 after spending six years in the US Army special forces.(Snip)McLaughlin had been training for more than a year in preparation for the bout, she told the outlet, and it was scheduled originally for August, but postponed after Provost tested positive for the coronavirus.
CNN host Brian Stelter has been slammed for tweeting a claim that the 'real leaders' of 9/11 were news anchormen - and adding that 'political leaders were in bunkers or out of sight'. Stelter tweeted a quote from an article written by AP writer David Bauder, saying: 'Network TV anchors were the closest thing that America had to national leaders on 9/11. They were the moral authority on that first day'. He then added, 'especially with political leaders in bunkers or otherwise out of sight'. DailyMail.com columnist and former host of The View, Meghan McCain was one of the first to criticize Stelter, saying: 'I don't know what this is
Facing a recall election Tuesday that could soon leave him without a job, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been pointing to Texas as an example of where the Golden State is headed if Republicans take over, according to a report.While campaigning last week, Newsom, a Democrat, made reference to a new Texas abortion law that many liberals fear could lead to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion in America."The whole idea that a constitutional right, the right to choice, the right to reproductive freedom, rights of women, now are under assault
Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani at a 9/11 commemoration on Saturday called a top US general an “idiot” and “a–hole,” imitated Queen Elizabeth and distanced himself from Prince Andrew, in a series of rambling soliloquies, video shows.
During a rant at an annual Sept. 11 dinner held at Cipriani, Giuliani wondered of Gen. Mark Milley, “How’s that guy a general?” while imagining physically assaulting the decorated joint Chiefs of Staff chairman because of his advice to close Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Speaking with a “cottage cream-thick English accent” is an example of privilege, NHS leaders have been told in seminars on racial justice. NHS executives and medics have attended a series of online sessions discussing “whiteness” and “systemic” racism in the health service, as part of diversity training. The Telegraph has obtained copies of the internal talks, organised by NHS England's inclusivity chief and attended by hundreds of staff. Various professors and activists were invited along with NHS diversity chiefs to speak about "dismantling" racism within the health service and “historical myths and monsters” around race. Each speaker stated their pronouns
