SECRETARY RUBIO: For twenty-five centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow.
And the progeny of the men who built it – the sons of Athens and Rome – have carried their civilization with them to the ends of the Earth.
Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now, I stand here today – as the Secretary of State of that republic, and as the great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space, can ever extinguish.

Poverty did not enter into the motivation or cause.
Bin Laden was ultra-rich. Other attackers were born into wealthy families and were highly-educated.

Thomas Jefferson saw these people and thought “okay there’s no way their religion is as immoral and insane as they’re behaving” then read a Koran and was like “oh okay yeah there’s no reasoning to be had here”
Today - Dr. Fauci's former senior advisor, David Morens, pled guilty to conspiracy to defraud the US.
Morens and others plotted to conceal/destroy federal records re: COVID-19 and federal grants to avoid FOIA and the Federal Record Act.
You simply can’t argue with someone who thinks like this. There’s no middle ground to meet on. You just have to beat these people and prevent them ever from wielding power.
The Democrats did this to America every single day for 4 years under Biden and will do it again instantaneously, but orders of magnitude greater, if they are given any form of national power. Democrats will see your home trampled and stolen by invaders and they will rejoice.
"A chinese birth-tourism baby born in the Mariana Islands and immediately taken back to China to be raised under the CCP for his entire life gets to vote in our elections and can even be President of the United States."

Mamdani-endorsed Aber Kwas won the Democrat Primary tonight for a State Senate seat in New York.
Here she is saying that 9-11 was America's fault because of our "system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia."
Gaethje absorbing the Faustian Spirit from the deceleration of independence before beating the breaks off Topuria as a +350 underdog is just further proof this nation has a mandate from heaven
