On an American Airlines flight not making it out of Chicago. We got stacked up and was odd that there was SO MUCH traffic. Eventually deplaned into a chaotic OHare. Somehow managed to get a rental car and drove 10 hours home. That was the day I discovered AM radio. Started listening to Rush the next day and having children within the next year.
imo it was exactly the right time to do this
Omar spit on the graves of all who were murdered and she got away with it
This man, who lost his mother on 9/11 is holding her accountable!
I say..Bravo!

9/11 was my younger son’s first chapel at school where his classroom led the chapel, he was in elementary school, and we were getting ready to go to that. This was in Hawaii (at Obama’s school). Because of the time zone difference, the attacks had already happened on the Mainland before Hawaii was awake so we woke up to the full force of what was going on.
We woke up to the TV news showing the attacks and collapse of the Towers. The school still had the chapel but obviously it was a somber affair and not what was originally intended.
The main thing I remember is how eerily silent it was when we were standing outside the chapel, because all air traffic had been grounded—you usually hear some sort of commercial jet or airplane noise constantly in Honolulu. The only time it wasn’t silent was every once in a while when you heard military jet fighters who were patrolling the skies do a fly by around the city. Essentially Oahu was in a war status because we have such a heavy military presence, and the military at that point assumed we could at some point be under attack. It was all very creepy and scary.
Send her back.
See my #165 regarding a similar experience re the silence and then the fighter jets.
“We woke up to the TV news showing the attacks and collapse of the Towers. The school still had the chapel but obviously it was a somber affair and not what was originally intended.”
Every time I watch “Mrs. Minniver” and the final church scene it brings back memories of that 9/11 chapel service we were at.

I’m very sorry for the loss of your friends. Thousands upon thousands were impacted by this and remain in grief.
I have to agree. The average person impacted by both 9/11 and Omar’s vicious nonchalance over this tragedy doesn’t have many opportunities to express himself in front of the world.
This man did it in his way, a way that was available to him, and it was eloquent.
I was living at the time in an apartment complex in P.G. County. Over the ensuing days and weeks after 9/11, we saw American flags sprouting on balconies, cars, in windows, EVERYWHERE, in my neighborhood.
This severe division among us didn’t really begin to happen until we elected that Obama ‘post turtle’. The division was engineered and brainwashed into the people; the natural inclination of Americans is very different.
At the time I worked at Mutual of Omaha downtown, but I lived and still live in Bellevue. Retired from the AF in 94 out of Offutt and the last assignment I was in made me familiar with emergency relocation of the president so seeing AF1 land made perfect sense. At work we didn’t have full internet access at our desks and no TVs immediately available, only radio. Seeing the film footage of what I had listened to all day was disturbing. I had just passed 30 years total time and had been moved to the permanent retired rolls, but I wondered if there would be a call up of retirees. It wasn’t like the rapid callup of the first gulf war so that didn’t happen. I knew some people in other call centers that were also approached by the presidential communications people.
