    U.S. Destroys 5 IRGC Tankers After Iran Targets Another American Warship

    TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, Sept. 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days.

    The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters. No American personnel were harmed.

    In response to Iran’s most recent failed attacks, CENTCOM destroyed the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1, and M/T Riesco in the Gulf of Oman as well as M/T Derya near Kharg Island. American forces directed the crews to abandon ship before the vessels were struck and rendered inoperable.

    Iran has 40 of these. The US put 3 more of them out of commission last week.

    UNC’s endowment returned more than 30%, helped by its early SpaceX investment

    The University of North Carolina endowment made more than 30% in the year through June, and a huge part of that came from a SpaceX investment it made years before the company went public.

    Before the listing, that one position had grown to around 10% of the nearly $15 billion managed by UNC Management Company. UNC first got exposure to SpaceX around the time of the global financial crisis.

    Meanwhile one of you libbie fucks whined recently that some investors were underwater on SPCX. Boo fuckin’ hoo.

  8. @4 You think it bothers us that Iran can’t sell its oil to China? That’s China’s problem, not our problem. By the way, my oil stocks are doing great: Chevron and Exxon are up over 33% this year.

    Trump is force feeding $45 hotdogs to his Secret Service detail at his golf club then charging taxpayers for them.

    And Biden rented residence space to the Secret Service.

  11. Laredo, Texas, is the capital of Webb County, a heavily Latino district that voted decisively for Joe Biden in 2020 before backing President Donald Trump in 2024.

    But some of the city’s 255,000 residents are now regretting their choice—and taking drastic steps in response to a cost-of-living crisis exacerbated by Trump’s war in Iran and crushing tariffs on imported products, The Telegraph reported.

    The paper spoke to multiple U.S. citizens who have moved to Mexico since Trump was re-elected and now commute up to an hour each way for work or school in the U.S.

    Wages are higher in Texas, but rent and groceries are far cheaper across the border. On average, Mexico’s cost of living is 45 percent lower than the U.S., according to The Telegraph.

    Enough to make any difference at all?

    Didn’t think so. Your straw man argument failed.

  13. There is no reason for the US to be attacking Iran. Trump is just doing what his Zionist masters are telling him to do.

  14. 8)Was in North Bend today, saw Diesel was at $7 per gallon at the Sinclair, and that was for all three pay options. Was trying to see if price would be lower if we removed all state taxes, but still wouldn’t be under $5, especially in the Cascade Foothills. Taxes and mandates are only two factors in setting the high price.

    The reason I was out there, observing Metro’s new connection for the Snoqualmie Valley to LINK. Well, although it’s every 90 minutes east of Issaquah, ridership looked good, but I don’t expect it to go to every hour or every half hour. Would require too many buses and drivers.

    A reminder, Donnie was a famous guy in New York starting in the 80s. The news crews and photogs camped out for weeks.

    There is not a single published story, photograph or piece of footage of Donnie ever visiting ground zero. Not one. He’s been lying about taking ‘his men’ there for 25 years.

  20. Which one of you libbie clowns was claiming in the previous thread that the Seattle Center shootings must have been terrorists because gang bangers aren’t foodies?

    Ari Hoffman on X: “WHY CAN’T THEY CALL IT GANG VIOLENCE? Everyone knows the Bite of Seattle Shooting was gang violence, yet officials and SPD refuse to call it that… except in texts to each other They knew it was gang violence 30 mins after it happened and knew 2 suspects were at large”

  21. @ 20

    In case you think that I was joking about the “gang bangers aren’t foodies” line, here is what the HA libbie actually wrote:

    Think about what SPD put out.

    ‘Multiple People shot at Bite of Seattle’

    Public event, gang members aren’t what most people think of as foodies, multiple victims. Then they left that out there for quite a while until media started getting unconfirmed reports and then they let out that it was likely gang related.

    https://horsesass.org/2026/09/04/friday-night-multimedia-extravaganza-807/#comment-1563260

    The same HA libbie blames the SPD for not putting out the information that the shooters weren’t terrorists, but the texts make it clear that “Mayor Katie”‘s team knew this as well and yet spent their time deciding what would make for the best photo op instead of telling the public that it was garden variety gang violence.

    It’s always gang violence. Welcome to the jungle.

  22. Next time we see a tranny shooting up a Christian school the same @ 20, 21 HA libbie will be claiming it couldn’t be a tranny because trannies aren’t religious.

    YLB, you’ve got company again. The Even Bigger Fucking Moron might be back.

  23. For those interested in the Seattle Center terroristgang shooting response, this article has several of the Mayor Katie team emails.

    Mayor Katie is the consummate 13 year-old girl being mansplained by her staff, who are the people really running the show. No wonder SPD was frozen in time for a few hours. Mayor Katie was frozen in time for those same few hours.

    Bruce Harrell smiles as the Recall Mayor Katie effort gets a huge boost.

  25. @20&21

    Continuing to double down on utterly missing the point. 20 SPD is still hiding from the public what they knew within 5 to 10 minutes.

    21 the perception of an average news consumer hearing the words, mass shooting or multiple shooting or multiple shot at Bite of Seattle is not to think gang members but potential attack. It still stands.

    Weird how you have a hard time understanding that.

    If you saw a twat multiple people shot at bite of Seattle and immediately assumed it was a gang violence, Bully for you.

    And I would suggest part of the reason they still won’t say gang violence is directly tied to how the Seattle Times and local news radio is trying to tie the attack to The mayors, lack of urgency going to Seattle Center despite SPD telling her directly not to

  26. Without Urbanists there would be no Ruralists. And you would have a bunch of inbreed ignorant and arrogant white trash.

  27. “Where were you on 9-11?”

    Thanks for asking.

    On 9/11 I happened to carry 6, count them 6, fallen firefighters and EMTs to the hospital, it was only about 2, 2.5 miles away from ground zero but I managed.

    Thanks.

  29. There are lots of pictures of Hillary Clinton at ground zero and lots of yes votes on medical funds for first responders, a thing the GOP blocked until John Stewart’s constant haranguing made that politically untenable.

  30. Donnie launched Trump coin. He made $200m regular people lost money.

    Jeanine Pinot Noir gave a fiery press conference today about crypto fraud after Hunter Biden launched LaptopCoin. Unknown yet if he made much.

    But either way, if you’re a person who is still buying meme coin in any form in the year of our Olivia Rodrigo 2026 you might as well just be handing your bank account number and debit card to a random stranger and asking them pretty please don’t spend any of my money.

  38. Trump says gas prices will come down “very quickly” after the elections because Iran “can’t hold out any longer” and the war will end “immediately after the election,” but for now they’re trying to “benefit from an election outcome unfavorable to Trump.”

  39. @ 38

    Less than a day after crowing @ 8 about how well his oil shares are doing, HA’s failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool criticizes Donald Trump’s account managers over how well his oil trading is doing.

    What a fucking hypocrite is Roger Rabbit.

  40. Roger Rabbit @ 8

    By the way, my oil stocks are doing great: Chevron and Exxon are up over 33% this year.

    Link @ 39

    Trump’s accounts have continued buying and selling energy stocks including Exxon and Chevron during the conflict, making trades on days when his decisions jolted oil markets.

    Yet HA’s failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool finds reason to criticize Donald Trump’s account managers, who trade without his input.

    Roger Rabbit is a fucking hypocrite.

    Roger Rabbit is an impotent clown.

  41. It was nice to hear Talarico admit that there are only two sexes and the others are “genetic abnormalities”.

    During the same Fox News interview Wednesday, Talarico also walked back his past statement that there are six genders, a comment he made in April 2021 during a House committee debate on a bill that would have required public school students to play on athletic teams that match the sex listed on their birth certificate. Asked by Fox News if he still believed there were six sexes, he said, “No.”

    “I missed the mark on some of my past statements, I’ll be the first to admit it,” Talarico said. “What I meant is there are two sexes and there’s a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities. Obviously I didn’t say it correctly. There are not six sexes, there are two.”

    Trannies under the bus.

  42. Talarico throws even more trannies under the bus:

    In reversal, James Talarico says he opposes trans athletes in girls’ sports “if it risks safety or fairness”
    Talarico’s comments on Fox News came in contrast to positions he took in the Texas House opposing GOP restrictions on trans student-athletes.

    DALLAS — Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico on Wednesday said he opposed transgender student-athletes competing in girls’ sports “if it endangers safety or fairness,” reversing course on previous positions he took while in the Texas House opposing restrictions on trans athletes.

    “Every sport has to be safe and fair,” Talarico said on Fox News. “As a former public school teacher, I care a lot about our student athletes, I care a lot about our students. And so I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it risks safety or fairness.”

    In response, Jasmine Crockett said that with this new evidence of James Talarico’s steadfastness and bravery under pressure, she’s even more anxious to go out and campaign for the guy who beat her in the primary:

    “In this election, we allowed ourselves to be divided. We allowed them to distract us, and we allowed them to talk about the trans folk,” Crockett said. “According to them, the trans kids, they want to play sports. That is the biggest issue that we’ve had. Since when? Since when? Find the little trans child that is ruining your life. I mean, I’m just like, what are we doing? Like, what are we doing?”

  43. That’s a lot of flip-floppery out of Talarico.

    Why can’t Democrats ever nominate someone with a spine?

  44. The bright side is that James Talarico was able to find the little trans child who was ruining his life.

    So happy for Talarico’s exorcism of that tranny devil child.

  45. Men pretending, excuse me, “transitioning”, into women should play on men’s teams.

    Why is this so hard to understand and accept?

  47. Here’s the answer from this point on.

    There’s like what four Texas, trans kids playing youth sports? The only reason you want to talk about this is because it keeps you from talking about soaring gas prices, an illegal war, that the president appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, that groceries are more expensive, that energy is more expensive, that healthcare is more expensive, that the current administration is an utter failure at everything. And that’s why you’re asking me about trans kids in sports.. You don’t want to talk about how under 20 years of Republican leadership in Texas escalating under Ken Paxton. We’ve lost more than 100 public schools. What is a bigger threat to children, lack of education or a couple of trans kids wanting to play volleyball?

  48. @40

    “Roger Rabbit is an impotent clown.”

    Maybe he, like most men, doesn’t get a boner thinking about having carnal knowledge of a barnyard animal as you do?

  49. Saaaaaaay Ken?

    Why’d you delay the release of Texas’ maternal mortality rates scheduled for this week until December?

  50. Donnie just claimed if the Pedos win the midterms he’ll give every voter $5k which is, you know, a felony.

    It’s also close to $1.8T

  51. @ 47

    The only reason you want to talk about this is because it keeps you from talking about soaring gas prices, an illegal war, that the president appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, that groceries are more expensive, that energy is more expensive, that healthcare is more expensive, that the current administration is an utter failure at everything.

    Okaaaaaayyyyy…

    What’s Talarico’s reason for talking about it? What was his reason for once claiming that there exist six genders?

    I mean, if in 2021 he said what he said today – that there are two genders and everyone else is genetically abnormal – there wouldn’t be anything to talk about today.

  52. @ 48

    “Roger Rabbit is an impotent clown.”
    Maybe he … doesn’t get a boner …

    Not once this century has he gotten it up.

    But impotent refers to more than just that.

  56. American consumers have spent an estimated $100.9 billion more on gasoline and diesel since the war began in late February, according to a cost tracker published by Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs.

    The estimate compares actual fuel prices with what researchers calculate consumers would have paid without the war, equivalent to about $770 per household.

    Gasoline has climbed above $4.15 a gallon, while diesel reached a record $5.90, up from $3.76 before the conflict. Higher diesel costs can spread quickly through the economy because trucks, trains and farm equipment run on the fuel.

    “We’re looking at a fall that’s going to be the most expensive ever for gasoline, but really for diesel,” Gulf Oil chief energy adviser Tom Kloza told CNN, adding that it would “fuel every aspect of inflation.”

    Goldman Sachs has warned that oil could surge to $120 a barrel if attacks on Middle East shipping do not stop, Daan Struyven, the bank’s co-head of global commodities research, said in a Bloomberg TV interview Monday. Brent crude is on track to pass $100 a barrel for the first time since July.

    Why Farmers in the 1800s Needed Cities for Business
    In the early 1800s, the United States was overwhelmingly rural — most people lived on farms or in small towns, and nearly all were involved in agriculture
    Minnesota Libraries Publishing Project
    Minnesota Libraries Publishing Project
    . However, as the nation expanded westward and population grew, farmers increasingly needed the services, goods, and markets that cities could provide.

    1. Processing and Marketing Goods
    Farmers produced large surpluses of grain, livestock, and other products, but they often lacked the facilities to process them efficiently. Cities offered grain mills, meat-packing plants, and curing facilities that transformed raw produce into marketable goods. For example, Cincinnati became known as “Porkopolis” for its meat-packing industry, while Louisville processed tobacco and manufactured hemp sacks and ropes for farmers
    UH – Digital History
    UH – Digital History
    .

    2. Access to Manufactured Goods
    Rural areas needed products like nails, horseshoes, farm implements, and textiles. Cities were centers of manufacturing, and transporting these goods to farms was far more efficient than producing them locally. Pittsburgh’s growth was tied to its iron production, which supplied farmers with essential tools
    UH – Digital History
    UH – Digital History
    .

    3. Labor and Services
    Cities provided jobs in clerks, bookkeepers, sales, and skilled trades, attracting farm children seeking work. They also offered services such as banking, legal advice, and transportation that were unavailable in remote areas
    UH – Digital History
    UH – Digital History
    .

    4. Transportation and Trade Networks
    Urban centers were hubs for shipping goods to and from markets. Railroads and canals, which expanded in the 1820s–1830s, connected farms to cities, enabling farmers to sell their products and buy supplies more easily
    UH – Digital History
    UH – Digital History
    .

    5. Economic Interdependence
    The growth of cities in the 1820s–1830s was driven partly by the needs of rural populations. As urban populations surged — New York tripled in size between 1810 and 1830 — they became essential nodes in the national economy, linking farmers to consumers and manufacturers
    UH – Digital History
    UH – Digital History
    .

    In short, while farmers in the 1800s were largely self-sufficient, their ability to sell surplus goods, access manufactured products, and connect to broader markets depended heavily on the services, infrastructure, and economic networks provided by cities. This interdependence helped fuel both rural productivity and urban growth.

  60. Could Rural America Survive Without Urban America?
    Rural America has deep historical roots and cultural identity, but its long-term survival without urban America would be extremely challenging due to structural, economic, and health disadvantages.

    Economic and Infrastructure Challenges
    Rural communities have long relied on agriculture, manufacturing, and resource production, but many of these industries have declined or shifted. Without urban centers to absorb surplus goods, provide markets, and offer infrastructure investment, rural economies risk further contraction. Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and broadband lags behind urban areas — 22% of rural Americans lack high-speed internet, compared to just 1.5% in cities
    http://www.grandbargainproject.org
    http://www.grandbargainproject.org
    . This limits business growth, education, and access to services.

    Healthcare and Life Expectancy Gaps
    Rural residents face worse health outcomes: a 60-year-old man in a rural area is expected to live two years less than an urban man, with women’s gap at six months
    schaeffer.usc.edu
    schaeffer.usc.edu

    . Causes include higher rates of smoking, obesity, and chronic diseases, plus shortages of doctors, longer travel for care, and fewer hospitals. These “diseases of despair” — including heart disease, drug overdoses, and suicide — are linked to social and economic decline
    The Good Men Project
    The Good Men Project
    +1
    .

    Social and Civic Resilience
    Despite challenges, many rural Americans report satisfaction with their quality of life, community safety, and civic engagement
    Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
    Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
    . However, financial insecurity, housing problems, and isolation remain significant. Without urban support networks, rural areas may struggle to maintain social cohesion and economic vitality.

    Interdependence
    Urban America provides markets, innovation, and investment that rural areas often cannot generate on their own. Rural communities depend on urban infrastructure, supply chains, and services, and in turn, they contribute to the nation’s food, energy, and cultural diversity. Removing this interdependence would likely lead to rural depopulation, economic stagnation, and reduced national resilience.

    Conclusion
    While rural America could persist in a limited form without urban America, its long-term survival would require massive investment in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic diversification. Without such support, rural areas risk becoming isolated, under-resourced, and unable to sustain their current populations or contribute fully to the national economy.

    Whatever, in one respect this is true. The recent pushback against data centers being an example.

    However, in other respects, this is welcome. In the California Central Valley, what uses more scarce water? Subdivisions? Or cash crops like almonds which are mostly exported and serve no purpose save for making rich “farmers” like Stewart and Linda Resnick even richer. Ag uses more scarce water in the Western United States period, end stop. It’s been known for a century that the arid west was on a collision course with a water scarcity disaster.

    Plenty of “urbanists” like the Resnicks expanded into lucrative cash crops to take advantage of a slew of ag subsidies and the favorable bankruptcy law granted to farmers as insurance.

    Fidelity tells me that I purchased shares in January 1993. I must have sold 3/4 of what I bought after the second share split, and cannot recall doing it. Maybe it’s because the shares had gone nowhere for nearly a decade. I lost interest and forgot about them.

    Had I not forgotten about the remaining 1/4 I would have sold that, too. Lucky memory lapse.

    Poor sad dumbfuck. In 1826 as the industrial revolution was fully taking hold around the globe (1760-1840) the average global surface temp was under 14c/57F. In 1860 the concept of ‘Greenhouse Gasses is posited. By 1926 it’s over 14c at 14.03. Side note, the Model T is one year away from the end of its production run.

    By 1945 and the end of the war when consumer goods factories and automobile ownership really really get going its 14.19c

    Do you see how it’s climbing?

    Things really start humming in the 1980s where we get to 14.35c. By the end of the 90s 14.5c, 2000s 14.77, we cross the 15 barrier in the 2010s leading to today’s 15.4.

In Apple TVs For All Mankind, they aren’t up to an alternate 2026 yet, but it won’t be a 25th Anniversary of 9/11 in that timeline, as Soviet Union never invaded Afghanistan, focusing on the moon colonization race. The never ending space race in Season 3 eliminated another stepping stone, the US, not needing oil, foreign or domestic (fossil fuel employees aren’t taking that lightly), President Hart(elected first in 84, so no scandal) declines to send troops to Saudi Arabia. In 2001, there is problems in Riyadh as oil decline has hit the House of Saud.

  82. One year ago today YLB was absolutely certain that a ricochet off of Charlie Kirk’s chest plate was what did him in.

  83. And it was nearly two years ago that Elijah was absolutely certain that an exploding teleprompter was what cut Donald Trump’s ear.

  84. And the CIA and the Mossad killed JFK back in 1963. All because JFK didn’t think the Israelis should have nuclear weapons

    Also, JFK didn’t want to get involved in Vietnam, and the CIA wanted to “prove” how wonderful they were in carrying out a stupid little Southeastern Asia war.

  85. I pledge allegiance to the Trump and the Pedophiles of America. And to the Constitutional Republic for which Trump Stands One Nation except the dirty fucking crazy left wing nutjobs with liberty and justice to white people.

    Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can’t even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it any way – I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like hell…”

  86. When Ana Kasparian of “The Young Turks” says “We DO need to cut spending,!” strange things are afoot at the Circle-K!

  87. Starbucks says something must be done about gun violence in Seattle. (EdsNote, gun violence is lower now than in the last two administration during which Starbucks had no press releases about gun violence)

    Gun Violence in Nashville per capital is significantly higher than Seattle.

    File under: ‘We hate the new mayor because she won’t let us beat our employees with a stick instead of recognizing the Union”

  89. @ 87

    Gun Violence in Nashville per capital is significantly higher than Seattle.

    This letter follows three people killed by gunfire in three different areas of Seattle over the weekend. Maybe this is not the right week to claim that Seattle’s gun violence is not an issue Starbucks should be worried about, whaddya think?

    Gun violence in Tacoma is significantly greater than in Seattle. So why mention Nashville instead of Tacoma when comparing to Seattle?

    Perhaps it is because Nashville is in TN, which is governed by a Republican, and that Republican has called out the National Guard to help tamp down violence in one of his cities, Memphis. Crime is falling in Nashville, perhaps due in part to an implied threat that National Guard could be stationed there if the violence continues apace. With the recent shootings in Seattle, can Seattle claim its gun violence is declining?

    Bob Ferguson knows he can’t win re-election without strong Seattle support. And that means making LD43 Democrats happy, not keeping cities safe.

    Hence the letter. Meanwhile, lock and load, bitches.

  91. There were 336 prostitution offenses in Seattle last year, and 52 of them – one per Saturday night – were solicitation offenses involving Steve.

    NEW: Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin reveals on ‘CBS Mornings’ that the lone, male holdout juror who voted to find Clancy guilty of murdering her children was the *only* person of color — a black man.

    The 11 not-guilty jurors — who hectored him for a week to cave — were all white.

    It’s OK to intimidate a black man if you’re doing it to benefit a white woman, say the libbies.

    Was it like this?:

    MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (CNN) — The partisan tone of the memorial service for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone stirred anger Wednesday in some Republicans, political consultants and radio talk show hosts who say some of the comments and behavior were inappropriate.

    Democrats defended the nature of the service, but they also apologized to anyone who might have been offended.
    …
    Ventura, who walked out of the service, said Democrats “should hang their head in shame.”

    “The first part of it I thought was excellent. When Rick Kahn got up, I left the building halfway through what he was doing,” said Ventura, who could appoint an interim senator to take Wellstone’s seat until November 5.

    “I feel used. I feel violated and duped over the fact that that turned into nothing more than a political rally,” he said.

  102. DOJ charged a bunch more Minnesotans with the crime of being assaulted by ICE.

    These cases have historically not gone well for the Government.

  103. “My money’s on PDF.”

    I don’t blame America for the 9/11 attacks because it was the incompetence and arrogance of the American government that motivated the attacks.

    Like it or not, VT, much of the World would like America to stop meddling in their affairs. Of course, Zionism cannot tolerate that, so we still have an empire which we cannot afford. Our overseas empire will crash due to the debt load the US government has incurred.

    The US should immediately:

    1. Cease support of the Ukraine debacle and withdraw all America personnel currently in Ukraine.

    2. Stop supporting the Zionists’ “Greater Israel” project because it is a clear example of how influential and controlling Zionism is in our government .

    3. Put the Europeans on notice that we will be returning our military forces deployed in Europe to the US. I expect this process will take at least two years after we start.

    4. Advise Japan and Korea that we will withdraw from their countries in a similar manner.

    Those four points would be a good start on our journey to return to the America the Founding Fathers envisioned.

  104. @101

    Thst you’re comparing a single Senator, dead since 2002, to the day “every american older than 30 remembers the exact moment they learned of the attacks that killed 2.799 Americans”* is duly noted.

    See at 93

    *except one who still says he say Muslims celebrating Jersey City, took men to help, gave to victim charities. All of which never happened.

  113. The losses just keep mounting.

    Donnie ordered a Michigan Coal fired electrical plant to remain open past the March 2025 date it was set to be mothballed by the state and its owners.

    A Federal court just said, “Ew, that is gross. Killing permits and financing for renewable power generation is a problem you created not an ‘emergency’.”

    That’s the MO of male repukes towards the Martha Sallys, Joni Ernsts and Nancy Maces of the world. Oh yeah and towards the sorority sisters and female congregrationalists of the Southern Baptist Convention for that matter.

  116. NYC is booming and lively and thriving, unlike the Rural Tailer Oar communities.

  118. Besides Gander, There were other Atlantic Canada airports like Halifax also took in stranded passengers that day. Some of them at CFB Goose Bay. The main purpose of that military base? Hosting units from NATO countries needing low level high speed training, increasingly hard to do in Europe.

    Newfoundland has always been willing to prove their saying, A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet, true. In 1942 the USS Truxton grounded and sank off St Lawrence, the local community assisted the survivors including a cook that almost went down with the ship because fellow crew members said the locals would lynch him. Couldn’t be further from the truth, although having never seen an African American before m they thought he was covered in fuel.

  119. One thing about Flight 93, it’s a good thing the passengers stepped up, the fighter jets standing by to ram the plane, the pilots would not have time to make sure they weren’t over a population center. and we’re closing in at about 500kts.. Probably would have hit over Northern Maryland, maybe the Maryland suburbs of DC. I often thought, had the passengers failed add 2 more names to the memorial, but it could have been hundreds.

  120. Mitch McConnell failed to attend a single 9-11 memorial event.

    But he was reached by phone and said, “
