On Sept. 11, 2001, the whole world changed.The first certified casualty of that horrific day of terrorist attacks killing almost 3,000 people in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., was Fr. Mychal Judge. This loving and beloved priest and New York City Fire Department chaplain once composed the prayer, “Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, tell me what you want me to say, and keep me out of your way.” It’s very moving in the context of Judge dying while serving victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.But the...

NEW YORK — Here’s how the 9/11 terror attacks unfolded on September 11, 2001, at the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and on Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa. 9/11 Timeline 5:45 a.m. – Hijackers pass through security in Portland, Maine, and board a flight to Boston, where they connect to American Airlines Flight 11. 6:00 a.m. – Polling stations open, as September 11 was a primary election day in New York City.

Beloved Sisters and Brothers in Christ, This year, on September 11th, we will observe the Twentieth Anniversary of the tragic day we call 9/11. It is a solemn day for our Nation and for the world, particularly in light of recent events in Afghanistan. It is worth remembering that the first commemoration of America’s military response to 9/11, America’s Response Monument (De Oppresso Liber [Latin for “from oppressed to free”], the motto of US Special Forces) sits in Liberty Park across from the Shrine. Most poignantly, it is sited directly above what was 155 Cedar Street, the location of the...

Strzok-Page Emails Show FBI Investigated President Trump’s Tweets Critical of Obama and FBI Did Mueller Lie to the House Judiciary Committee? Judicial Watch Court Battle for Joe Biden’s Senate Records at the University of Delaware We Must Never Forget Strzok-Page Emails Show FBI Investigated President Trump’s Tweets Critical of Obama and FBI Perhaps you will recall Rudy Giuliani suggesting nearly two years ago that Robert Mueller’s gang should be investigated for destroying evidence, in particular text messages. Now we have more proof that these witch hunters did not want anyone looking into their activities. We have received 87 pages...

SOMERSET COUNTY, Pa.—Joe Biden visited the Flight 93 National Memorial on Friday, talking briefly with other visitors but spending most of his time interacting with families of people who died on Sept. 11, 2001. He arrived around 1 p.m., several hours after President Donald Trump took part in a private ceremony with loved ones of passengers and crew members who died while thwarting hijackers that hoped to crash the plane into the U.S. Capitol. Biden was accompanied by his wife, Jill, with both wearing face masks. Speaking to one of the families, the Democratic candidate for president mentioned his own...

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — An emotional Jon Stewart, who was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday for a Congressional hearing on the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, was given the turnout coat of FDNY legend Ray Pfeifer, who died from 9/11-related cancer two years ago. Pfeifer, who served more than 27 years with the FDNY, was at the World Trade Center after the buildings collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001 and worked for months on the toxic pile at ground zero. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and made the trip to Capitol Hill dozens of times to lobby for 9/11...

A New York City subway station has reopened for the first time since it was destroyed 17 years ago in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack. Cortlandt Street on the 1 line was buried under debris when the two World Trade Center towers collapsed after hijackers crashed planes into them. On Saturday, people were welcomed into the newly renamed WTC Cortlandt station as the first train rolled in at midday.

Seeing the Chicago Rally with a fresh perspective: On 9-11-01 most of the passengers in the commercial jets cooperated with terrorists. Why? Political correctness dictated that they do so. Who turned out to be right? The passengers of United 93 -- this century's first stark example of patriotic courage. At the Chicago rally most of the Trump supporters avoided confrontations. Who turned out to be right? In that case there was NO WAY that any patriotic civilian could do the right thing. The law plays favorites against patriotism, especially in thuggish hellholes like Chicago. So sure, a man could keep...

It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years since that horrific terrorist attack on American soil. That day on 9/11 in 2001, four coordinated attacks were made on our nation, including the unforgettably, frighteningly horrible fall of the Twin Towers at NYC’s World Trade Center. I was lucky: I worked in Tower Two of the WTC for five years before moving to California.

On September 11, 2001, Delta Flight 15 received a terse directive: “All airways over the Continental United States are closed to commercial air traffic. Land ASAP at the nearest airport. Advise your destination.” Far out over the Atlantic on a flight from Germany to America, the captain adjusted his heading to land at Gander, Newfoundland. Those aboard noticed that the airport was cluttered with commercial aircraft, and knew something was terribly wrong. Once on the ground, the captain told them that terrorists had hijacked three domestic flights. They were horrified when he described events involving the World Trade Center and...

Of course, in the real world it wasn’t Western politicians and media who linked Islam to the 9/11 attacks. It was the hijackers and plotters themselves. In March 2009, the masterminds of the 9/11 plot, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ramzi bin As-Shibh, Walid bin ‘Attash, Mustafa Ahmed AI-Hawsawi, and ‘Ali ‘abd Al-’Aziz ‘Ali – styling themselves as the “9/11 Shura Council” –wrote a lengthy communiqué titled “The Islamic Response to the Government’s Nine Accusations.”

The country mourned Monday after learning about the mass shooting deaths at the Washington Navy Yard. For a few scary moments, Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Morgan feared for his mother's safety. Morgan told reporters that his mom works on the same floor of the Navy Yard building where the shooting occurred, according to The Washington Post. Morgan, who grew up in the area, said he was unable to reach his mother after he learned of the shooting. Eventually Morgan confirmed through a Redskins spokesperson that his mother was safe. Before that happened, Morgan told reporters that he had a...

This still torques me off watching this and it has been 12 years. I will include them in my prayers tonight

*Caution!  Graphic picture belowSo I woke up the morning of 9/12/2012, to the sad news that one of our ambassadors to the Middle East, Christopher Stevens and his staff had been killed, and our embassy in Cairo had been breached. My first thought was, "What is the administration going to do about this?" My second thought was, "This should be an act of war (in Libya)!" I was sadly disappointed with their tepid response. Secretary of State Clinton had somewhat of an emotional response, but the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, had the most weak-kneed, please...
