that was president biden, you see him there, paying tribute, laying a wreath there. john, i was covering the capitol, as i mentioned, on 9/11. joe biden was the senator from delaware and a senior member of the senate foreign relations committee. he was chair. i would watch in the days afterwards people like him and others not just try to figure out how to help the country economically but most importantly at that moment was try to get a handle on who this was, how and whether and when to rea reretaliate. that woas the biggest question. the third plane, the heroes of shanksville, that plane headed for the white house or the capitol, hit our political monuments if you will. those are the heroes. listen to a moment of silence for the second plane hitting the second tower. and the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave o er the land of the free
everybody in new york city was waiting to hear what was going to happen with this case. manhattan da s office says after they reviewed the video and reviewed witnesses and people that called 911, they won t be presenting this case to a grand jury. the mayor of new york supports the decision. i believe after the da s review, he made the right decision. earlier this month, jose alba was charged with second degree murder after police say he killed a man in a bodega in new york city. alba was in jail when this video was released. you can see 35-year-old austin simon around the bodega and attacked the 61-year-old store clerk. alba is shoved in to the wall and grabbed him by the collar. moments later, alba grabs a knife and stabs him to death. this all started after simon s girlfriend tried to buy her daughter a snack with her ebt card that was declined. in the motion, the manhattan d.a. said if alba reasonably believed that alba was attempting to commit a burglary of an occupi
saw survey. what do you think? scary. if you think about it, we have had years and years of corporate an university indoctrine nation into progressivism that translate into america is a horrible place, capitalism is racist. you can name it. it happened first in universities and happened in corporate america. you couldn t escape it. you went to work and forced to digest and indulge in this stuff and then you had covid lockdowns and conservatives being censored from social media. i can go on and on and then you have leaders of two parties joe biden or donald trump neither of which or whom inspire much confidence. current president can t get through a sentence without mucking it up. former president talking about baseball bats and riots, why would you be happy about the future? the country is yearning for a
