BIDEN: "Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell."
On September 12, 2001, Biden was in Washington, D.C., for a Senate session.
The Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland has a fascinating backstory. In the early 17th century, a regiment of Swiss mercenaries served as part of the Royal Household of France. During August 1792, approximately 1,000 Swiss guardsmen were entrusted with protecting the life of King Louis VI. Unfortunately, revolutionaries stormed the King's residence, defended by the Swiss, resulting in a virtual massacre of the Swiss Guard.
Among the guards was officer Karl Pfyffer von Altishofen, who happened to be on leave in Lucerne on that fateful day. Devastated by the tragic loss of his comrades-in-arms, Karl Pfyffer von Altishofen spent years contemplating their sacrifice and decided to initiate the creation of a monument to honor the fallen men.
The monument was designed by the renowned Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen and consists of a giant dying lion carved out of sandstone. It is situated above a pond at the periphery of the medieval town. The monument was completed in just over a year and was unveiled in 1821.
Today, the Lion Monument attracts over 1.4 million tourists annually. Its profound impact on visitors is exemplified by Mark Twain, who once described it as "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world."
Daniel Perry was working as an Uber driver in Austin, TX when he found himself in the middle of a BLM mob.
A guy came up to his car and pointed an AK-47 at him and he fired back in self defense.
He was indicted for murder by a Soros-funded DA and was just found guilty.
Woody Harrelson hosted Saturday Night Live and used his opening monologue to criticize Big Pharma's response to COVID-19:
"The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they take the cartel's drugs and keep taking them over and over."

Just your average, everyday, 4-for-5-with-four-ribbies-two-homers-and-a-piss-missile-double game for Aaron Judge. He is now hitting .316/.419/.701 on the season. He is one batting-average point off of the American League Triple Crown and one home run shy of 60. He is a machine.
