Fmr FDA Commissioner Gottlieb Expects Delayed Impact of Biden Vaccine Mandate — ‘Fall of 2022’
I wish I had a link! Too funny!
Even Babylon Bee could not make this better!
So I'll let you know.
I'll be somber,sad and proud on my memories of 9/11
I will never forget what I was doing that day as it happened!
I pray to God that we never have to go through this again.
Honestly with this Idiot Biden in place, I pray More! I feel more Vulnerable more than ever today!
God Help US! Godspeed All!
I say AMEN, too.
The WH forgets that it is We the People who are the BOSS not the other way around but they will be reminded of that soon.
We have the power to take them out at the ballot box, will be extra vigilant for fraud in ‘22, Impeachment and removal on the horizon, that’s if Bye-done makes it that long.
Good morning on this somber day of remembrance, lysie!
No, we will NEVER FORGET and it is up to us to teach the younger generation the truth of 9/11, heaven knows they aren’t being taught it in most schools.
I do thank you for the very nice breakfast.

“The heroes of 9/11 — and long after”
By Karol Markowicz
“There he is. My man! He never takes his eyes off the road.”
My brother was pointing out a Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority police officer standing at the mouth of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel: Red hair, matching beard. Concentrated expression. Carefully watching every car — his stare intense. No one was getting by him.
It was October 2001, and the fear in the city was palpable. New Yorkers didn’t really talk much about how scared we were; how could we live fearful lives when the bravest among us had rushed into burning buildings and never came out? It would dishonor our dead to admit fear.
Allow our lives to be changed and the terrorists would win. Everyone knew that.
But we were afraid. Of crowds and loud noises. Tall buildings. Each other.
The people who hurt us had lived among us. They were our neighbors and friends. They used our trust against us. And they made our most powerful landmarks dust.
Suddenly our city looked like a series of potential targets, our country at risk. They got the Pentagon. How was that even possible? We were sitting ducks.
We were taking the tunnel that day because my brother was driving me back to Manhattan from Brooklyn. No way was I taking the subway. Everything was a potential threat.
The cop with the red beard became a fixture for us. We’d notice him every time we drove through the tunnel. He was stationed there for years, and his presence was calming, like the lifeguard you can trust with your kids. We were on edge that October night, but no one would hurt us while he stood watch.
In time, we relaxed. Soon we were no longer paranoid, worried about death coming suddenly as it did to those people on that beautiful September morning. We’d blast music on the BQE as we raced into the tunnel, heading to a bar or concert, getting on with our lives.
The officer with the red beard always looked straight ahead. For years, we’d spot him. His face grew older, but his eyes stayed focused. We forgot to be afraid, but he protected us anyway.
Watching him made me resolve to have my future children thank police, firefighters and military personnel whenever they encounter them. Today, my children do so every single time.
We know the names of a lot of heroes who died that day: Todd Beamer, who said “Let’s roll” on Flight 93 and didn’t let the flight become another missile. NYPD officer John Perry, who was handing in his retirement paperwork that morning but ran to the towers to help. FDNY chaplain Fr. Mychal Judge, who died bringing comfort to others. NYPD officer Moira Smith, the first to report the attacks that morning, who never stopped helping.
We know the stories: The man in the red bandana who made many trips up to save people while others headed down. Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9 in Midtown, which suffered the largest loss that day of any firehouse when 15 of its firefighters did not return.
Many heroes in the days and years after we’ll never know. They were the ones who dug up our dead and eventually perished themselves from toxins at the site. Who fought in wars elsewhere so we didn’t have to fight here. Who killed terrorists. Intercepted cells. Patrolled our streets and, yes, our bridges and our tunnels. They let us live our lives under their protection.
So many times I wanted to stop and tell the red-bearded cop how he made us less afraid during the scariest time of our lives. I never got to tell him.
One day, he was there no longer. He’d moved on, too. I tried for years to find him, writing and calling various people and departments, but never managed to get his name.
The man with the red beard held the line. We were millions of shattered pieces, broken over what had been done to us, and we counted on people like him to put us back together again. We don’t know his name, but he and his fellow guardians were the key to bringing back our city.
There were heroes of that day, long after 9/11. They live among us still.

Thank you Lysie.
Sorry, fell asleep in the middle of responding! LOL
I haven’t spent much time studying either COVID, the vaccine or Ivermectin. Never felt the need. So I don’t have the latest info or know every iota on the subject; I’ll leave that to others.
I found a couple of articles that were addressing that topic from spring 2020 before all the Ivermectin craziness set in. If I’m understanding them correctly, at that time they weren’t sure exactly why it worked against the virus, but it appears to be that it slows down the virus replication to a standstill as well as keeping it from the food it needs to keep from growing-starving it as it were. One of the articles mentioned several more viruses it appears to be effective against.
If I’m wrong about any of that, I’m sure someone will correct me! 😁

“Trump says he will visit Ground Zero to mark 9/11 20th anniversary”
By Samuel Chamberlain
September 11, 2021 1:46am
Former President Donald Trump said he will visit Ground Zero Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The 45th president revealed that he would travel to Manhattan in an interview with Fox News Friday.
Trump had been tight-lipped about whether he would commemorate the tragedy. On Thursday, the New Jersey Globe reported that the ex-president would visit Ground Zero early Saturday afternoon, following the conclusion of the formal ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
Trump is not expected to cross paths with President Biden. The president and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to attend the beginning of the 8:30 a.m. ceremony before leaving New York around 10 a.m. to take part in observances at Shanksville, Pa. — site of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 — and the Pentagon.
Trump has heaped criticism on Biden in recent weeks over the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban and the chaotic withdrawal of US forces from the country after 20 years of war — precipitated by the events of 9/11.
“It is very depressing,” Trump told Fox News Friday of his feelings on the anniversary. “This was supposed to be a day of victory. Now it is a day of embarrassment. How do you have this happen?”
“I think Biden rushed it [the Afghan pullout] to try to claim victory,” the former president added, “and now, he looks like a fool.”
Biden initially announced in April that all US combat troops would be out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11 of this year, then moved that deadline up to the end of August. That compressed timeline, along with the swift advance of the Taliban, led to scenes of chaos and tragedy as the US military attempted to fly thousands of American citizens and their Afghan allies out of Kabul’s international airport.
Following his visit to New York, the former president is scheduled to head to Florida, where he and son Donald Trump Jr. will provide an alternative commentary track for an eight-round boxing exhibition between former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield and former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort.
The woodpeckers didn’t get caught in the trap?
Good morning!

TY for breakfast.
I’m glad Trump is going to ground zero.
I’m also glad he’s not going to let anyone forget what happened in Afghanistan.

(About the Australian camps)
“ Everyone is getting on board to build it. From the local businessman to the deputy premier proudly declaring that this is going to be the real deal, the enthusiasm positively leaps off the cattle trucks. Sorry, sorry – airplanes. And perhaps even international arrivals! Not even zee Germans managed that one. No box cars trundling slowly through war torn landscapes for us Aussies, oh no, no, no. This is modernism at its finest. Australia is proudly leading the way!”
I hadn’t thought of that - those not following the mandate can be flown to the Australian camps. No need to build our own
Thanks. God bless President Trump and God bless America!
Those clever woodpeckers did not spring the trap.
Hubby was all for getting a camera to see just how they were doing it. 😁
Morning, CB.
Have been watching the 9-11 Memorial coverage since 3am.
Such a very sad day but we must NEVER FORGET.
