Looks photoshopped.
Good points
Condolences on the loss of your mother. Prayers for you for that and for your other troubles.
I only saw the buildings come down on TV as I was back in the SCIF. We got busy fast. It was the first time since retiring that I had wished I still wore khaki to work.
If I had volunteered to go back on active duty it would not have been accepted. I was working for NSA and they would have blocked it. As it was my work was necessary for the younger guys to go do their thing.
National Defense is a team effort. Everybody has to do their part, whether it is the part they want or not.

OMW! They have brought the Third World to Ohio. Horrible.

X22 9.11.24: Trump Entered Enemy Territory To Expose The Liars, She Took The Debate Bait, Game Theory – Ep. 3448
Love that poem.
And I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. Typical Tuesday at work, we were busy directing the switching operations on various parts of the power grid, to allow people to work on lines, breakers, transformers, and such. After the first plane, we tuned our TV to the news (normally on the weather channel because weather plays a huge role in operating the grid). Anyway, we saw the second plane hit the second tower, Laura Dhue (who had just switched from Fox to CNN, I think) exclaimed “what a coincidence”. I shouted out in the room, That ain’t no f&&&&ing coincidence.
At that point, we focused on putting all our equipment back in service and cancelling as many jobs as we could. We decided that having the power system as intact as possible was a good idea, since we had no idea where another plane would hit. We were under attack.
My mother, who still lived in Northeast Ohio, was golfing at St Bernard’s Country Club in her Tuesday morning golf league and saw 2 fighter jets fly eastward at supersonic speed. Later, I learned that they were from the Ohio Air guard based in Toledo and were planning to intercept flight 93 if it continued into Ohio. It did not.
There is internet speculation that one of those planes might have shot flight 93 down, but that is purely speculation. And to tell the truth, I don’t think I want to know if that happened or not. There were heroes on the plane and that is all I need to know.
The skies were eerily quiet for some time after that day - I remember going outside to smoke (a habit I gave up around the end of 2001) and noticing the silence. No planes in the air. Very odd.
An innocent time but that innocence shattered with that event, the worst in my lifetime. And knowing now what I didn’t know then, I long for that more innocent time.
Dollars to donuts, had the issues in Springfield not been made public outside of the controlled media, D-Wino would have sat on his hands and not reacted.
They need to be rounded up and shipped home. Period. I don’t GAS what kind of special protections Bite-me wants to put on them - they are invaders and have no right to be in this country.
