Left-wing rapper Macklemore has been embroiled in controversy this month for his virulently antisemitic antics on stage during the Ed Sheeran “Loop Tour,” actions which got him fired as Sheeran’s opening act. But the Seattle-based activist has a long history of unhinged, hate-filled behavior.

Hasan Piker: US conducted 'tremendous terror,' worse than al-Qaeda, Hasan Piker says in Axios interview. Piker, who has over 3 million followers and is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, came under renewed attention due to his participation in campaigning for the Abdul El-Sayed.

A viral video on social media shows men wearing swastikas and claiming to be national socialists, chanting pro-Hamas and anti-Jewish slogans near the 9/11 memorial. This is the result of decades of Islamists exploiting Western empathy against us, along with leftists joining forces with racist antisemites. Don’t expect this story to last long in the media, because it shows that leftist ideology, not MAGA, is neo-Nazi.

The 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon inspired former President George W. Bush to remind everyone that "in the midst of that terrible tragedy, I courageously pointed out that Islam is a religion of peace. In the aftermath I sent US armed forces to depose the Afghan government that gave safe harbor to Osama Bin Laden--the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks--and the Iraq government that had weapons of mass destruction. This mission was accomplished. We didn't find either Bin Laden or the weapons of mass destruction, but we did transform Iraq into...

FBI agent Pellegrino; "But there were missed opportunities before. And you always have to wonder what else could have been done to possibly have picked him up. And if we had picked him up, I just, I can't imagine that an event like 9-11 would have happened." CBS. Sep 11, 2026. How '9/11 mastermind' slipped through FBI's fingers. BBC. Sep 5, 2021. Mohammed seems to have been tipped off about the US interest in him and fled Qatar, ending up in Afghanistan.''

"The Falling Man" is the most controversial photograph to have emerged from the September 11, 2001 attack on New York City's World Trade Center. Taken by Richard Drew of the Associated Press - and visible at this link - the photo shows a man falling headfirst along the side of the soon-to-be-demolished 110-floor North Tower, momentarily captured in an incongruously serene pose that belies the utter surrounding chaos and his imminent demise. When the photo ran in the New York Times and other papers across the country the following day, many readers complained and accused the publications of exploiting the...

ransomnote: related x.com post in FR post #1ColonelTowner-Watkins@ColonelTownerLet me say this a different way...Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was not the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks. He was sold to the public as the principal architect. Khalid was in Bosnia bc he was trained by the CIA in AFG and part of a much bigger effort to generate the USSR follow on boogeyman: radical Islamic terror.The mujahideen provided the initial phase, al Qaeda would follow and ISIS, etc. All from the same network and all funded, trained, tasked by the same intelligence agencies...just like the Cuban exiles, Philippine terrorists and Moonies/Taiwanese...

Former Sarasota, Florida, second grade student Krystal Davis remembers a wave of confusion washing over her and her classmates on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, after a suited man whispered into the ear of the president of the United States, who was seated just in front of the students. Then-President George W. Bush was visiting Emma E. Booker Elementary School and had been listening intently to the children in Mrs. Sandra Daniels' second-grade class flexing their reading skills, when the look of admiration on his face suddenly gave way to an expression of concern. Chief of Staff Andrew Card...

Like most Americans, watching coverage of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 brought out a lot of emotions in me. It also brought out curiosity, and one of the things I was curious about was how the Church responded to the 25th anniversary of this barbaric event. On 9/11/2001 when Pope John Paul II was informed of the 9/11 terrorist attack he withdrew to his private chapel and prayed, for long periods. He was also one of the first world leaders to send a message to GW Bush, describing the attacks as "inhuman" and "unspeakable horror". The next day, during a...

A message from James Woods THE FALLING MAN We have all seen the image, a man falling through space, plunging to earth from a top floor of the World Trade Center. It was 25 years ago today, and it still makes me gasp in horror and seethe with rage as if it had happened yesterday. What was so compelling about this photograph of a man, completely upside down, almost as if by choice, falling to a certain death? Well, because it WAS a choice. We knew he had leapt from an inferno like hell itself, the result of an act...

I was working for New York City’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner when the unthinkable happened on Sept. 11, 2001. As a death investigator, I would usually go to an apartment or the streets to investigate a homicide, a suicide or an accidental death. Now it was my job to “work the pile” — that is, to recover and catalog the shattered human remains found in the burning, smoking rubble of the World Trade Center. I had been at the OCME for nine years and had seen all manner of death. After some months my boss, Chief Medical Examiner...

UCLA’s top official has condemned a 9/11 event hosted by the college featuring a range of controversial speakers — including the defense lawyer for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The school’s chancellor, Julio Frenk, said in exclusive remarks to the California Post that he supported longtime UCLA professor Judea Pearl, who tore into the university for hosting the lawyer representing the jihadist behind the execution of his journalist son, journalist Daniel Pearl. “Judea Pearl is a deeply valued member of the UCLA community, and I have profound respect for him, for the memory of his son Daniel, and for his...

This is a re-publication of the column he wrote on 9.11 With some commentary Prescient. We are fools. Exactly a quarter-century ago, I was pottering about the kitchen when the newsman broke into the morning show to say that there were reports that a 'plane had flown into the World Trade Center. I assumed it was an unfortunate mishap by a Piper Cub from Long Island or some such, switched off the radio and went about my business. So I did not hear that a second 'plane had hit until twenty minutes later when two of my editors called from...

Bill Clinton's White House was warned that Osama bin Laden wanted to crash a bomb-packed plane into an American city three years before the hijackers struck, explosive CIA files reveal. The warning was a part of a September 10, 1998 report prepared for senior Clinton officials cleared to read the then-president's most secret morning intelligence digest, according to the Wall Street Journal. Headlined 'Bin Laden's Location and Intentions,' it offered no date or target, but made clear the terror chief had Washington, DC, in his sights. Bin Laden's terrorists would crash an airplane into the Pentagon three years later. Other...

The CIA released 71 declassified documents related to the 9/11 attacks on Friday, the 25th anniversary of deadly Al Qaeda terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. The documents, which were posted on the CIA’s website, cover the period from February 1998 to Sept. 12, 2001, which is the day after the attacks. All are drawn from the daily intelligence briefings that were given by the CIA and other spy agencies to President Bill Clinton and his successor, President George W. Bush. In a statement, CIA Director John Ratcliffe called it “the single largest release of CIA analysis related to...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were seen yukking it up during the somber reading of 9/11 victims at Ground Zero during the 25th anniversary service. The New York City Democratic Socialists of America darlings appeared all smiles in a live feed of the ceremony, interspersed with shots of a man cradling his head in his arms and bawling his eyes out and friends and family reading out the names of their departed loved ones from the podium.

The Heavy Yoke of 9/11 Twenty-five years after September 11, we’ve failed to confront the ideology that drove the terrorists.Twenty-five years ago this morning, 2,977 people were murdered in the space of 102 minutes. Most of them had gone to work. Some had boarded an airplane. Among them were 343 New York City firemen who climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center towers while everyone else came down, knowing what that act meant. Aboard a plane over Pennsylvania, 40 passengers and crew learned by telephone what was happening and took their plane back from the men who had...
