Good morning X World. Today's throwback is to September 10, 2001. The day before our world changed forever. These aren't my words. But it's how I feel.
My friends, as you settle down tonight for bed, remember that, on this night…..25 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
I'm still pissed and I WILL NEVER forget. 🇺🇸
After 9/11 I dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps, volunteering for the infantry.
I knew that “radical Islam” was responsible for the attack, and I wanted to have a rifle in my hand to go after those who were responsible for and in league with those who attacked us. Obviously in hindsight, our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan were poorly executed with no achievable objective ever clearly articulated, devolving into nonsensical nation building exercises.
In the 25 years since, all of my experiences, including multiple deployments, and decades of research, have led me to a more important realization…
It wasn’t “radical Islam” that attacked the United States, it was just Islam.
And more importantly, that virtually no society that has seen a large influx of Islam has remained intact, and otherwise survived it.
Islam is the problem, and I realize how uncomfortable it is for Americans to speak in absolutes, and that there may be outliers, but at large scale, Islam has never resulted in a society that embraces and appreciates human liberty. In the wild Islam at scale destroys liberty, it doesn’t foster and build it.
Islam is a political ideology doctrinally dedicated to the conquering and subjugation of all non-Muslims.
Radical Islam isn’t a national security threat to the United States, Islam is, and people need to learn to be comfortable saying that, because if enough don’t, our children and grandchildren will not inherit liberty, they will inherit Islamic theocracy.
See a lot of Canadians complaining about 3X3. Just want them to know that if I could change it to 5X5 I would so that we could’ve won in 5X5 just like we won in 3X3 (reminder we won Gold 🇺🇸)
Unfortunately I can’t, but I would. #Class#ThanksBigCat
Congrats to the Patriots for etching their name in history once again. Most Super Bowl losses of all time. Can’t own that record without going to the championship all the time. A .500 team in the Big Game. The LeBron James of Football
Poor people are almost all retarded.
When you let poor people make decisions, they will make retarded ones unless you don’t let them make retarded decisions.
This applies to food choices, applying for credit cards, and anything that has a component of deferred gratification tied to the outcome.
The poors should be governed with an iron fist, not given more freedom to do whatever they want.
Playing video games continues to be viewed as childish and a waste of time, but if you scroll through your phone and watch TV for 9 hours then that’s totally cool.
The New York Mets lost and will miss the playoffs. At one point they were 45-24. They end the season at 83-79. An all-time disintegration. From the best record in the game to out of the postseason.
