TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! My business day began September 11, 2001, by boarding the 8:00 a.m. shuttle from NYC’s LaGuardia Airport to Ronald Reagan National Airport. I had a 10:00 a.m. meeting in downtown DC at the offices of Sun Microsystems. It was a perfect late-summer morning, temperatures already climbing above 70 and not a cloud in the sharp blue sky. My plane landed a few minutes early and as soon as I turned on my mobile phone upon rising from my seat, a call came in. It was my assistant, who booked my ticket. “Are you alive?” she asked in near-hysteria. As I disembarked the aircraft, she managed to briefly explain that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. I stood near the boarding gate watching CNN for a few minutes, shrugged my shoulders more than a little concerned, and walked to the taxi line. Before getting in a car, I called my contact at Sun Microsystems who assured me the meeting was still happening. My taxi took me past the Pentagon where I noticed a cloud of dark smoke billowing from the one of the world’s largest buildings. It became immediately apparent to me that America was under attack. Screw the meeting, I thought. I gotta get out of here town immediately because the nation’s capital is clearly a target of some unknow adversary. I asked the driver to take me to the nearest Hertz. As he pulled up, a line was already snaking out the door. Thinking fast, I asked him to wait until I secured a car rental and promised him $100 above the meter if he could do that. My plan was to offer him an additional $400 to drive me to a relative’s home in nearby Baltimore if I couldn’t get a vehicle. Luckily, I got one of the last cars at Hertz, peeled off five twenties and headed north to my home in Manhattan, alone in my car with dark thoughts swirling in my head about what the attack would mean for America and the world. And I prayed for the poor souls at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the passengers on the doomed flights. I think of that day often and it still fills my heart with an immense sadness.

We were winning against the Jihadists. Then Washington hesitated, and we lost Afghanistan, Syria, much of Iraq, parts of the Sahel, as well as New York and our campuses. We have the means to win the war on terror. What we need is the knowledge and experience to achieve full victory.

Radical leftist filmmaker Michael Moore was trashing the president three days after the mass murder. Six days after 9/11, ABC’s “Politically Incorrect” host Bill Maher started digging a grave for his ABC career with this beaut: "We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away, that’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it -- not cowardly."

The Heroism of 9/11’s Immediate Response

With roughly a third of the American population under 25 years old and living in a post-9/11 world, many do not appreciate the audacity and speed of America’s initial response to the 9/11 attacks. Just 15 days after the nation was shocked, and while the rubble of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was still smoldering, America struck back.

Any Moral Equivalence About 9/11 Is Pure Evil

source: PJ Media

It was during the Obama years that the phrase "the motive is unclear" became code for "Yeah, the killer yelled 'Allahu Akbar!' just before people started dying." Of course, rushing to judgment about anyone who points out the obvious is OK. We're always labeled "Islamophobic" whenever we mention that the Islamic guy who murdered people was, in fact, Islamic.

A television miniseries disappeared down the memory hole. “The Path to 9/11” aired exactly once, two decades ago. Then it vanished. ABC hasn’t shown it since. The network has refused to release it on a disc or as a download. No streaming service carries it. It’s almost like someone doesn’t want you to watch it.

How to Prevent the Next 9/11

By William Barr, Michael Mukasey: A quarter-century later, we can look back with some satisfaction that September 11 was not a prelude to a blitz, and that many other attacks have been thwarted. But acknowledging our nation’s success in preventing another major terror attack does not mean that the job is finished. Our enemies are still out there, still preparing for the next strike.
