It’s a shame that Democrats and their handmaidens in corporate media don’t work with President Trump. His treaty with Denmark regarding Greenland is of such strategic and economic value, it’s hard to believe they have chosen to be bumps in the road. It is nonetheless another innovative brilliant move by this great America-first leader, and all without help from the ever obstinate left. foxnews.com/politics/trumps-…

Bill Maher: “[President Trump] said communism a million times [at the RNC in Dallas]. I don't blame him. I proved it here when I, just quoting them, just the quotes, no editorializing. It is communism. When you say we want to take over the means of production, they have quotes saying elect more communists, communism this, communism that, essential industries.”

Why would that be controversial? I don’t think they would have been shouting “Allahu akbar” if they were Quakers.

This was the most powerful speech yet from the RNC, maybe of the entire year. RFK Jr. was masterful.
Worth watching every word.

🚨 NOW: President Trump is saying it perfectly
"On 9/11, nearly 3,000 precious souls were stolen from us killed by evil TERRORISTS at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon..."
"All of these years later, we gather on another Tuesday morning in September to reaffirm the sacred vow we made a quarter of a century ago. We will never forget. We say it, and we mean it. We will never forget."
🙏🏻🙏🏻
He said it: TERRORISTS. Not a "crash." A terrorist attack by Islamic terrorists.

DEI back then demanded that no one “racially profile.” 9/11 was preventable.
Did you know?

The Catholic League President Bill Donohue just took NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the woodshed in front of a crowd...and it was BRUTAL.
Donohue said Mamdani is more concerned about “Islamophobia” than he is about the death of 3,000 innocent Americans.
Whoa.
DONOHUE: “Thank you, Bill Donohue, President of Catholic League.”
“On that fateful day, 9/11, I looked out my window on 34th Street and 7th Avenue and saw the twin towers go down.”
“I’m a veteran, United States veteran, I don’t have a lot to say about Zohran Mamdani.”
“He should not be here. I wrote him a letter on August 3rd…explaining why he is such a divisive figure.”
“He said that ‘something happened’ on 9/11.”
“I’ll tell you what happened…radical Muslims came in here to bomb the United States of America.”
“I don’t say Muslims, because that’s wrong. I’m talking about radical Muslims.”
“He can’t bring himself to say that!”
“He is more concerned about Islamophobia than he is the death of 3,000 people, innocent people, on that day.”
“This man is a disgrace to veterans, and believe me, as a Catholic, we contacted NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority a year later…85 to 90% of first responders who were murdered, they were Catholic.”
“And we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters against the likes of Hasan Piker, who says nothing but good things about the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.”
“It’s a disgrace!”
“Mamdani, do us all a favor and just stay home.”

All America had to do to prevent another 9/11 was close its borders.
Instead, our government claimed the ideology of the hijackers and their supports was peaceful, created a brand new bureaucracy to molest your grandmother and police the toothpaste in your luggage, started two wars which accomplished nothing, erected a massive new spy program targeted at American citizens, and then invited everyone displaced by the wars they started to come live in the U.S.
All we had to do was just close the border, and yet that’s the one thing our government refused to do.

9/11 EXCLUSIVE: PENTTBOM AGENTS SPEAK OUT
Leading the PENTTBOM team out of Newark, New Jersey, former FBI Special Agent Bob Bukowski working with the late New Jersey criminal investigator Jim Bush, were assigned to the hijacking of American Airlines 77 that slammed into the Pentagon.
Their investigations led to the arrest of two living associates of the 9-11 hijackers in the US: Syrian national Daoud Chehazeh and his Jordanian roommate Eyad Rababah.
Investigators suspected the Syrian may have been at the center of the East Coast support network for the 9/11 hijackers, though he was never charged with a crime.
Declassified records contain a June 6, 2003 memo that indicates the Syrian was a top tier target in a workplan for the 9/11 Commission listing Chehazeh under “Possible Saudi Government and Royal Family Connections to the September 11 Hijackers and Other Terrorists and Terrorist Groups.”
The memo was written five months before agents Bukowski and Bush were formally interviewed by members of the 9/11 Commission about their PENTTBOM investigation into Chehazeh and Rababah.
During their 9/11 Commission interviews, Bukowski and Bush sounded the alarm about the men, including Chehazeh.
While Rababah’s name is mentioned more than two dozen times in the final 9/11 Commission Report, documenting his assistance to the hijackers, there is no mention of Daoud Chehazeh.
A new investigation on @X by former colleague @browne_pamela raises questions about how Chehazeh was allowed to stay in the US for years after the 9/11 attacks and received asylum.
Browne reports her weeks-long effort to reach Chehazeh for comment via phone, email and through his former lawyers were unsuccessful.
EXCLUSIVE: 9/11 Missing Link
A Syrian national who played a critical support role for the 9/11 hijackers was a top tier target for investigators, according to declassified government records, but no reference can be found in the 9/11 Commission Report.
...Even after two seasoned 9/11 investigators raised the alarm about the Syrian with Commission investigators.
Daoud Chehazeh arrived in the US from Saudi Arabia in July 2000 and settled in Paterson, New Jersey.
In the crucial months leading up to the terrorist attacks, working with his Jordanian roommate Eyad Rebabah, the men moved to Virginia in March 2001 where they assisted multiple hijackers with housing and transportation.
Chehazeh was directly connected to the American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who played a key role in the hijackers’ domestic support network on both the West and East coasts.
Awlaki later became a senior Al-Qaeda leader, was the first American targeted for death by the CIA and killed in a 2011 CIA drone strike.
A new investigation on @X articles by former colleague @browne_pamela raises questions about how Chehazeh was able to stay in the US for years after the 9/11 attacks. Chehazeh was never charged with a crime.
Browne reports her weeks-long effort to reach Chehazeh for comment via phone, email and through his former lawyers were unsuccessful.
In their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, the 9/11 families have received more vital evidence from British Authorities than the US government about the alleged role of Saudi Government employees.
The 9/11 families have been seeking a meeting @realDonaldTrump since June because they say President Trump is in a unique position to get resolution.
In response to the federal judge’s decision to let the 9/11 case move forward, a spokeswoman for the Saudi Embassy in Washington D.C. provided a statement:
“Saudi Arabia is reviewing Judge Daniel’s decision finding a basis for jurisdiction over Saudi Arabia in the litigation arising from the September 11 terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabia respectfully disagrees with the decision, believes it has solid grounds for appeal, and intends to pursue such an appeal.
We note that the decision is limited to the issue of jurisdiction and does not decide the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims against SaudiArabia, claims that Saudi Arabia categorically denies.”

Almost incomprehensible to me that a General was coordinating with the communist Chinese to tip them off if the US President was going to attack them.
This is Treason.
Milley deserves justice.
Biden's pardon of Milley blocked criminal proceedings, but it didn't prevent a grade review
Earlier this year Pete Hegseth revoked Milley's security clearance and opened an inquiry to strip him of rank for telling the Chinese he'd let them know in advance if Trump were to attack
Milley should be brought before a tribunal and charged with treason, before being stripped of rank... this cannot go unpunished

🇺🇸 The Boatlift That Was Bigger Than Dunkirk
At 10:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001, a Coast Guard lieutenant named Mike Day keyed a radio in New York Harbor and said the only sentence that mattered.
“All available boats. This is the United States Coast Guard. Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan, report to Governors Island.”
The boats were already coming.
The bridges were closed. The tunnels were closed. The subways were dead. South of the towers, hundreds of thousands of people had nowhere left to walk. Some jumped into the Hudson. Some stood on seawalls that were never meant to be docks and waited for anything that floated.
Dunkirk took nine days to pull 338,226 Allied soldiers off a beach in 1940.
On 9/11, roughly 800 mariners on about 150 vessels moved as many as 500,000 civilians off Manhattan in about nine hours. Ferries. Tugs. Dinner boats. Pilot boats. Yachts. A retired fireboat. Rubber dinghies that held two people. The largest water evacuation in history.
NY Waterway did not wait for the official call. After the second plane hit, the whole fleet moved. Captain Rick Thornton nosed his ferry against a seawall that was not a slip and started taking people off. Some of them he pulled out of the river. His company alone carried about 158,000 people to Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Brooklyn, and Queens.
On a normal Tuesday they carried 34,000.
The Staten Island Ferry moved more than 50,000 people and came back the other way with water, bandages, and men who still had work to do in the dust.
The old fireboat John J. Harvey, already retired, tied up near the Museum of Jewish Heritage, took civilians off the seawall, then pumped water when the hydrants downtown died.
Lt. Day later admitted what the day required. “I broke more rules that day than probably I’ve enforced in my whole Coast Guard career.”
In raw numbers it was bigger than Dunkirk. No boat went down. By nightfall the southern tip of Manhattan had been emptied by people who were not on anyone’s list of heroes when the morning started.
They were tug captains. Ferry deckhands. Pilots. A lieutenant with a microphone. Ordinary boats answering one sentence.
All available boats.

Yeah, and Biden deserves criticism for it until the end of time. A disgrace.
CBS just walked the streets of Kabul 25 years after 9/11.
What they see: Taliban fighters in American Humvees with American rifles dressed in American commando gear.
There’s even a Green Bay Packers sticker still on one of the Humvees Biden left behind.
And yet, CBS's Imtiaz Tyab claims, "President Trump has bitterly criticized the Biden administration for what he says is abandoning billions of dollars of military hardware like this."

I’ll tell you all why Trump should be at the 9/11 memorial:
I worked his trial over at 60 Centre Street. I had the lower Manhattan detail and I had to be there a few days.
I met a lot of Secret Service agents during that detail and they all said he was really good to them.
Hillary, not so much…
At the end of the detail as he was leaving, Trump always made a point to wave at us cops and say thank you. Every day. No press. No cameras. No publicity. He did it because he genuinely liked us.
I’d rather have someone at the memorial who cares about the families and cares about this country than someone who feels the need to protect his religion and ideology.
Turn. Your. Backs. On. Mamdani.
🚨 NOW: President Trump has taken the stage at the White House Ellipse, surrounded by heroic firemen, police officers, and US service members, honoring the 25th anniversary of 9/11
A 16,000 pound beam from the original Twin Towers traveled 10,000 miles across America, and stopped in DC today, before ending up back at Ground Zero on September 11th of this year.
All thanks to Tunnels to Towers.

Not really. Those of us who grew up before 9/11 remember what our country was like before our government responded to it by launching two of the dumbest wars in our history and then using the results of those wars to flood the West with the very kind of demonic inbred retards behind 9/11.
You can’t understand the rage we feel because you have no concept of what we lost as a people. It wasn’t just the violence of that day, which was horrific in itself. It wasn’t just watching people hurl themselves off of buildings on live television just to avoid being burned alive. It wasn’t just hearing the phone calls and voicemails from people who knew they would be dead within minutes. That would be more than enough to scar a generation.
But on top of that, we had to watch the best of us then get sent off to be blown up in wars our government had zero interest in winning. All while watching our country be flooded with people who were no different than the hijackers, and then being told we were racist for having a problem with that.
We grew up at the peak of peace and prosperity and cultural cohesion in the greatest country on earth. And we saw all of it thrown away after 9/11 because the people in charge of our country thought never-ending wars, infinity immigration, and surveillance of its own people was better than being called mean by people who already wanted us dead.
Quote: “…one can dislike Trump and still recognize the accomplishments are real and laudable. If personal dislike for the president prevents someone from seeing that, the real bias problem is with them. “
We are approaching the fifth and last biennial election in the Trump era, and the president has asked voters to make it a referendum on him. Let's take a look at his record.
The tiresome and predictable criticism of a pro-Trump bias will come, as it always does when anyone tries to say anything positive about the president, but let me respond with two points. Firstly, one can dislike Trump and still recognize the accomplishments are real and laudable. If personal dislike for the president prevents someone from seeing that, the real bias problem is with them. Secondly, when 92 percent of media coverage on the president is anti-Trump, balance does not come from repeating what is already deafeningly amplified. It comes from stating the parts that are generally ignored.
The successes are significant and seldom discussed; let's look at the record that most of the press won't print:
• The illegal immigration crisis at the border has been ended
• With it, there has been a dramatic reduction in the horrors of human trafficking, the inflow of lethal narcotics, and cash flowing into the pockets of violent drug cartels.
• Inflation has been cut sharply from Biden levels.
• Crime rates across the country are much lower, with murder rates at a 70-year low.
• Capital has poured into the US in job-creating investment, and no advanced country has generated greater economic growth.
• The country has been liberated from climate theater without abandoning environmental protection.
• Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran have all been stripped of their usefulness as Russo-Chinese allies.
• The Iranian regime is being strangled (and its terrorist proxies with it) at almost no cost in American lives and only slight use of American ordnance. Despite the shrill mantra of the more radical isolationists, Trump kept his word: no forever war, no Iraq 2.0.
• Along with the Abrahamic Accords, Board of Peace and other diplomatic initiatives, despite current tensions, the scaffolding for future peace in the Middle East is the strongest it has been in decades.
• NATO has been reformed from a ragtag of slackers into a self-financing alliance.
• Ukraine has been armed to the point that Russia is fighting a war it looks increasingly unable to win, and the Russians have been forced to import gasoline and diesel for the first time in a generation because of its hobbled oil refining capacity.
This is one of the most persuasive lists of accomplishments of any two-term president since Theodore Roosevelt in 1906.
That a president with this strong a record can still have such a low approval rating is unprecedented and owes to one of his greatest short-comings – the messaging problem. President Trump can draw a crowd and dazzle his supporters like no president since FDR. What he has not yet been able to manage effectively, is use a direct Oval Office address, with a nonpartisan tone, to outline the national interest and ask for the support of the American people for his worthy objectives. Perhaps he is keeping his powder dry. If so, this is the month to use it.
This is a VERY important account to follow on September 11th.
He's going to post events the exact second they occurred on that day.
[Fourth-Wall Break]
Because many have been asking the l about how I’ll be covering September 11, I’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions list. I’m pinning it until that day. Please refer to this for your questions and feel free to ask more.
Q: How many posts do you have planned for the event?
At present, about 410, or one every three minutes for the entire day, though there will be an average of two posts a minute between 8:46 and 10:30. It is my earnest hope that the account doesn’t get suspended for spamming at the very beginning. I hope someone from X is reading this.
Q: Is the posting going to be in real-time?
Yes. I worked very hard to learn the exact minute and if possible, the precise second that events occurred on 9/11, and I will post at those exact moments. It will be a completely real-time retelling of the day.
Q: Do you/Will you schedule posts?
No. Automation is impersonal and unnatural. On these accounts I’ve always manually written the posts as I’m posting them, and 9/11 is no exception to the rule.
Q: Are you posting alone, or do you have a team?
All alone. Have been doing this alone for years. It’s a lot of effort.
Q: Will you be showing sensitive content?
No. I had the option to and I decided against it. Graphic photos and video exist, but it would be disrespectful to the victims to show it. You’re welcome to look it up for yourself.
Q: How did you do your research?
I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documentas, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event. I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful. I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate.
Q: Will you be including any conspiracy theories?
I don’t entertain the conspiracy theories. From my research, I have developed what I believe is the most accurate picture of what happened, and it’s straightforward and logical. There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks. Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked.
Q: Why do this much? Do you have a personal connection to 9/11?
None. I was too young to remember it. I’m doing this because this is what I’ve done on these live history accounts since 2018.
Q: Was this the whole point of the account?
No. I started this account in “1997” (2022) with the intent to report world news, and that’s what I’ve done for nearly five years. It was not the intent of the account, or I would’ve done thousands of hours of research and posted tens of thousands of unrelated stories just to set up one day.
Q: But it seems like all your posts are 9/11 foreshadowing lately.
Fewer than 1 in 10 of my posts has had any relation to 9/11. I’m insulted when people insinuate that “the account only posts about 9/11.” It’s a gross exaggeration.
Q: Will the account continue afterwards?
Yes, indefinitely. I’m excited to cover the 2000s and the 2010s. I hope that you all stick around for it.
Q: Won’t you make loads of money off this, a tragedy?
Probably not. Last month, X decided to permanently suspend its creator monetization program and replace it with another program. I have not yet applied for the new program, and 9/11 will not be monetized. I am doing this as a passion project and because I love history and have been live-posting history for eight years - long before I was ever paid to do so.
If I do end up being monetized for this day, I’ve had ethical qualms. Earlier this year I decided to donate all the money I made off my posts on September 11, 2026. If I make any money off this, I will do that and post receipts. I encourage you also to donate to the charity of your choice. This was a tragic event and funds deserve to go to the victims of the tragedy and rememberance of it.

Was already done with @FoxNews Firing @MariaBartiromo just seals its fate in the trash bin of history.
Remember this 🚨
The day after the (2020) election, DeSantis went after Fox News for calling Arizona ahead of the other networks
And refused to call Florida for Trump even though (94%) of the vote was already in
Fox News lost (34%) of its viewers in (2021)
From (3.6M) to (2.35M) in prime time
And lost (42%) of (25-54) year olds
Day viewership plummeted (29%)
Raise your hand ✋️ if you're done with Fox News after firing Maria Bartiromo
