[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Now that he won’t stop talking, the folks who told us Hasan Piker is a serious voice who should be listened to ought to let us know which of these positions we’re supposed to take seriously:

1. That “pound for pound,” America is worse than al-Qaeda - a ridiculous statement on a normal day, but particularly vile the same week we’re reflecting on the loss of 3,000 Americans on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

2. That Communist China’s repressive regime is the “model” for America.

3. That Mao was “a great man of history” while the collapse of the Soviet Union was "one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century."

The great thing about America is that everyone is entitled to their opinions and free to express them, however dumb or immoral. That includes ‘Comrade’ Piker. The rest of us are just as free - obligated even - to call out this vile, hateful speech that only divides America.

Scott Bessent just ENDED both Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg’s careers in one fell swoop.

Bessent, who is gay, was asked to respond to Kamala’s recent claim that she didn’t choose Buttigieg as a running mate because he was gay.

He laid out three reasons why that excuse is TOTAL nonsense:

“First, it shows her emphasis on identity politics and you know, the American people moved on.”

“Two, it shows how low regard she holds American people… she was a terrible candidate.”

“And three, you wouldn’t pick Pete Buttigieg because he might have been worst Transportation Secretary in history.”

“She judges him on his identity, his sexuality… let’s look and see whether he did a good job. Let’s look on merit, and I can tell you, on merit he’s a failure.”

“And on merit, she’s a failure.”

Bessent is lowkey a SAVAGE.

🚨 HERO -- This is an American Badass: The Inspector Who Sent the 20th Hijacker Home

Jose Melendez-Perez did his job. On August 4, 2001, that took courage.

He was an immigration inspector at Orlando International Airport and a retired Army soldier - 26 years in uniform, two tours in Vietnam. His job that night was to decide whether a foreign traveler should be allowed into the United States.

The traveler was Mohammed al-Qahtani, a 26-year-old Saudi. He had a tourist visa, a one-way ticket, no hotel, little money, and a story that kept changing. He would not tell Melendez-Perez who was picking him up. When he was placed under oath, he stopped talking.

Another inspector warned Melendez-Perez he would get in trouble for turning a Saudi away. Melendez-Perez said he could not do the work with dignity if nationality decided who got in. He refused him entry anyway.

Al-Qahtani was almost certainly the intended 20th hijacker - the extra man for United Flight 93, the plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field after the passengers fought back.

The other three hijacked jets that morning each carried five men. Flight 93 carried four. Al-Qahtani had trained in Afghanistan and sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda. 9/11 Commission staff later said he was likely the only Islamic terrorist denied entry into the United States before the attacks.

Waiting at that same airport was Mohamed Atta. Atta was the tactical leader of the September 11 plot. Eight weeks later he flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. He had come to Orlando to pick up “the friend who is coming as a tourist.” He waited all day. Then al-Qahtani was put on a plane out of the country.

Commission member Richard Ben-Veniste later told Melendez-Perez that stopping him “may well have contributed to saving the Capitol or the White House.”

Before September 11, inspectors already knew the unofficial rule. A Saudi passport got gentler handling than the law required. If you delayed one of those travelers, or sent him home, the complaint did not stay at the airport. It could become a letter from a member of Congress to the agency. Supervisors feared those letters. They feared standing behind an inspector who said no.

Melendez-Perez said that out loud. The 9/11 Commission wrote it down and never named who sent the letters. (RAIR is fighting to uncover this)

The same pressure existed overseas. Visa officers were pushed to keep Saudis moving into the United States. At American airports, a line inspector learned that pressing a Saudi traveler too hard was a career risk. Melendez-Perez pressed anyway.

The special treatment did not stop on September 11.

After the attacks, the Saudi embassy asked the U.S. government to help get members of the Saudi royal family - and relatives of Osama bin Laden - out of the country. White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke passed that request to the FBI.

A private Boeing 727 was hired for the job. The jet, Ryan International Flight 441, left Boston at 2:05 a.m. on September 20. Besides the crew, 26 passengers were on board.

Most were members of the bin Laden family. The pilots at first refused to take them. They were paid extra and flew the route anyway. FBI agents questioned most of the people on board. They detained no one.

Al-Qahtani was later captured in Afghanistan, sent to the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, and released after officials concluded he had been tortured (BOO-HOO). His lawyer, Ramzi Kassem, is now chief counsel to New York City’s mayor.

The men in the plot were Muslims. They trained, entered the country, and murdered nearly 3,000 people in the name of Allah. Officials still treated the Saudi passport and the fear of being called hostile to Islam as the thing that had to be managed.

Question the traveler too hard, and you were the problem. Say the threat out loud, and you were the bigot.

That pressure was already on inspectors before the first plane hit. It was still there when the bin Laden family got a night flight home. It is still there when the man who came to kill Americans is spoken of as a victim, and the inspector who stopped him is a footnote.

One HERO inspector. One refusal.

Jose Melendez-Perez. He did the job they hoped he would not do.

This is one of the best and most moving political ads I have ever seen.

New York... Vote BLAKEMAN for Governor this November.

There are tons of 9/11 families in NY who feel this way. This type of pain doesn't fade. These kinds of wounds never fully heal.

Do it for them.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

This one hits hard.

It’s insane what’s happened to NY. Never forget and never forgive.

Vote.

Get your family to vote.
Get your friends to vote.

Watching Zorhan Mamdani and AOC laughing it up while the 9/11 victim names were being read out and their family members were crying out in sorrow, might just be the most vile imagine I have ever seen on social media in my lifetime!

As some of you know, Bobby Kennedy @RobertKennedyJr is one of my oldest and best friends. I am so proud to know him. I was involved in his Presidential compaign and it's one of the high points of my life. I truly have seen him deliver over well over two hundred speeches, including one of the best I ever saw in Boston as he announced his run. I have lost many of what I thought were friends for supporting him, and tonight I truly do not care. His speech tonight laid it all out as purely and cleanly as anyone could will ever do. Where were are, and what we are up against, in a way no other former Democrat has been able, or has had the courage to say. Please, if you didn't see it. Watch it. I am so proud of this great American and so glad we all have him in our camp and on our side. All of us Democrats and Republicans.

🛑 Mamdani Launches Jihad Against Grieving 9/11 Families

The hijackers came to kill America in a morning.

Mamdani came to finish the job in office - slower, legal, and aimed at the families still standing over their dead.

TODAY at Ground Zero, Mayor Zohran Mamdani will walk onto the memorial of 3,000 Americans murdered by Islamic terrorists after those families begged him not to come.

Watch the sequence. Three moves. Same purpose.

🔺 First cut: Honor an al-Qaeda lawyer

Days ago, he signed an executive order creating a city “Day of Remembrance” for 9/11 victims - then handed the ceremonial pen to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who previously represented an al-Qaeda operative whose brother-in-law hijacked the plane that struck the Pentagon.

He used a 9/11 remembrance document to honor a man tied to the network that carried out the massacre.

🔺 Second cut: Today he will show up anyway.

Families and first responders asked him to stay away. Petitions. Outcry. Giuliani. Pataki. People who still bury pieces of their dead. He is coming anyway.

That is the point.

Islam has a long history of planting victory markers on the sites of its victims. Not always with a sword.

Sometimes with a ceremony.

• The Great Mosque of Córdoba was raised over a church after the conquest of Spain.

• Hagia Sophia - the crown of Eastern Christianity - was turned into a mosque.

• The Church of St. John in Damascus was overwritten.

• On Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock were built as monuments of conquest.

• After 9/11 they tried to plant a mosque on the ashes and named it the Cordoba House. That name was not an accident. Córdoba is the blueprint for Islamic triumphalism.

A mosque on the wound. A mayor on the memorial. A pen passed to the lawyer of an al-Qaeda client. Same language. Same message: we are still here, and you will watch while we inflict the pain....

They do not spare the grieving. They make sure the living feel it.

🔺 Third cut comes tomorrow.

After he stands over the names of the dead, the script flips. He becomes the victim. Muslims become the victims.

The families who begged him not to come become the problem. And the made-up word comes out like a blade: Islamophobia.

That word is not a shield for the innocent. It is a weapon used to silence anyone who names the ideology that murdered their loved ones.

Speak the truth about 9/11, and you are the bigot. Mourn your dead too loudly, and you are the threat. That is how the argument is closed. Not with evidence. With a smear designed to make you shut up.

Never Forget was a vow.

Today they are testing whether anyone still means it.

Holy Crap!

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Thank you President @TheBushCenter and @CondoleezzaRice for confirming that Islam is a religion of peace as we commemorate 9/11. It is disgusting that people use the 50,000+ Islamic terror attacks since 9/11 alone to argue that Islam is violent. There is no known evidence that suggests that Islam is anything but peaceful. My family and my wife's family have had to escape Lebanon, Syria, Egypt,Turkey, and Canada because Islam is peace.

[The Food Manufacturing Guy @TipOfTheBanana]

The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in hydrochloric acid, neutralizing it, then adding color and corn syrup so it looks and tastes close enough.

A lot of the bottles on the grocery shelf are the same thing. Kikkoman and the Japanese government went to the UN food standards body years ago and asked that the chemical version not be allowed to use the name soy sauce. The hydrolyzed protein industry and the USDA pushed back and it stayed. The brewed ones say naturally brewed on the label. If the bottle doesn't say it, it isn't.

"JUST STAY QUIET"

Those were the words Mohamed Atta broadcast from the cockpit of American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11, 2001 as he and the other Islamic hijackers steered the plane toward the North Tower.

“Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you’ll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet.”

They counted on silence. They got it. Minutes later that plane slammed into the World Trade Center.

Then came Flight 93. Passengers learned what was happening. They did not stay quiet. They said “Let’s roll.” They fought. The plane went down in a Pennsylvania field instead of the Capitol or the White House. Those passengers saved lives because they refused the terrorists’ instruction.

That is the lesson. The only hijacked plane that missed its target was the one where Americans did not stay silent.

The same tactic is used today. Do not name the ideology. Do not speak. Do not resist. Stay quiet while the civilizational threat continues.

If we want to honor the 2,977 murdered and the thousands injured, we do not obey the hijacker. We name what drove them: Islam. An ideology that still seeks to impose itself on free people.

Do not stay quiet. Use your voice. Never stop exposing it.

Never forget. Never submit.
