THE WEEK IN PICTURES: SMILING THROUGH THE APOCALYPSE EDITION
Powerline ^ | 12 Sep 2026 | Steven Hayward

The 25th anniversary of 9/11, and the ongoing controversy over the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, do not offer much direct humor, but mordant commentary is still deserving. Let’s start with 9/11, or better yet 9/12. What would you have thought on the day after if someone predicted that the next president would bear the middle name “Hussein,” and that on the 25th anniversary the mayor of NY City would be a radical muslim, and that the Taliban would hold a military parade in Aghanistan featuring billions worth of U.S. military equipment? You’d think the person making such predictions should be handed over to the men in white coats. Only this spectacle can eclipse the most deranged statement of the year (so far), about the hero juror: “He had the hardest time getting off the fact Lindsay viciously killed her children.” File that in the category of the made up line, “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?”

It’s almost enough to make someone want to bomb Canada.

If Michigan can find an offense, they’ll be tough. Their defense is good.

(RIP Barbara Olsen)

I can’t imagine the stark terror
all the 9/11 victims went through
on that day of the Muslim attacks
