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.  Howard

From 9/11 to Luigi and Lindsay

We have lost our moral clarity.

Remember the Fallen and the Generation That Defended America Since 9/11

By Mike Pence: May we never forget or fail to honor the sacrifices made by America’s defenders from that day to this.

The Heroism of 9/11’s Immediate Response

source: Daily Signal

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.

We must teach history -- and vigilance.

A 9/11 Miniseries Some Want Us to Forget

source: Wall Street Journal

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

source: The Free Press

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.

The 9/11 Lessons for Next Time

The war on terror succeeded, but the U.S. homeland is more vulnerable now than it was 25 years ago.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump’s Shtick Show: Trump rambled for 104 minutes at the opening night of the GOP’s initial midterm convention (AKA pep rally for Trump).  The portly POTUS delivered an uneven performance which wasn’t helped by his unkempt hair and his puffy eyes which sometimes looked like mere slits on his face.  But mostly, he was doing his standard shtick of name-calling, grievances against the left, unhinged boasts of his accomplishment and promises of the country’s great future. The convention’s second and concluding night will be broadcast today on C-SPAN.  Trump will once again address the crowd at night.  Newsmax has more... Dept of Strange-But-True, Part I: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), the controversial, hoodie-wearing contrarian, shocked the political world last night by appearing in a 67-second video at last night’s GOP midterm convention praising Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA)....Dept. of Strange-But-True, Part II: The Gateway Pundit reports that Tucker Carlson “all but endorses far-left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed” in the race for Michigan senate.  Carlson also described El-Sayed’s campaign as “literally Trumpian”....“60 Minutes” leans left: A just-released NewsBusters study of the popular CBS newsmagazine over the last six seasons found that the show’s political segments have “skewed heavily to the left by a five-to-one margin.” During those six seasons, the program aired 78 political stories, often with anti-Trump or anti-conservative viewpoints, according to NewsBusters’ researchers... Trump keeps getting hammered by the conservative editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal.  The Journal’s editorial board writes about an ICE agent in Minnesota who shot a man in January and then may have lied about it.  “Trump’s deportation surge into Minneapolis is looking worse all the time,” the editorial board sniffed and I agree along with what I hope will be millions of Americans....Another

“Fortress North America” Is the Latest Canadian Con

source: Washington Examiner

Over the past week, we’ve seen the resurgence of the concept of a “Fortress North America” being pushed by trade groups that have a foot on each side of our northern border. Don’t be deceived by the benefits implied for American interests through this term. This concept is just the latest con being pushed by Canadian interests.

Charlie Kirk Might Have Lost His Life, But He Won the Argument

He quite literally went into the lion’s den. College campuses are breeding grounds of leftist thought. Nearly every anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-white, and anti-Christian idea the left now embraces started on a college campus.

In the Year Since We Lost Charlie Kirk, the Media Have Done Its Best to Act Its Worst

It has already been a year since conservative icon Charlie Kirk was assassinated and the attack has brought out the worst in some of the worst people in our media and celebrity culture. False claims that the alleged assassin was conservative, false quotes and hateful comments have filled TV, radio and, of course, the internet.

Delegates Rave About the President’s Convention Speech

The atmosphere at the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention reached a crescendo on Wednesday as President Donald Trump took the stage. The president spoke for roughly an hour and a half, touting the accomplishments of his first two years but warning against complacency going into the midterms.

The Unconventional Midterm Convention Is Quintessential Trump

source: PJ Media

This convention is a rally on steroids. Even in his most rambling moments during a speech, Trump is the most coherent message machine that the Republicans have. This convention gives him the chance to boost a lot of candidates in one setting, and give them all a master class in how it's done.
