    For the people harping on Biden and the date, don't forget that Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David on 9/11.

    CNN took a real jab at Biden on the 9/11 anniversary. While remembrances of the day were being observed around the U.S., that is, of the day that the U.S. was attacked with the help of Saudi Arabian financing, Biden was seen having a smiling get-together with the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince.

    Figured I'd break up the politics for a minute with a rewarding call yesterday. Car was partially submerged when we arrived. Once the window was broken it sank in less than 15 seconds. The occupant was a 9/11 survivor on their way to speak at a 9/11 ceremony. Survived 9/11 twice.

    Pics in reverse order.

    I watched a minute by minute doc on this last night. I learned a few new things about the event (like the hijackers using mace to fog up first class), and also had my memory corrected. I always swore I saw the 2nd plane hit live, but after reviewing the timeline I figured out it would have been impossible. Memories can be so weird.

    Just the mention of the Iranian people brings back memories for me. In 1978 I moved back to Gainesville to finish my last 2 years of college. We bought a house from an Iranian family. The following year when the Iran hostage situation came I put a sign in the front yard "The Iranians don't live here anymore" to keep from being firebombed. You had to live through that era to appreciate it. "Bomb bomb bomb.....bomb bomb Iran".

    I feel sorry for anyone born on 9/11. I think you're expected to apologize for it whenever it comes up.

    It's never the answer you like. It would be a lot easier if you would just tell us what you would like to hear

    Pretty sure I already answered. He asked if I thought Biden was running his own administration. I said that as far as I know he is, that I've seen no evidence otherwise. Monk clearly thinks Biden isn't running it. I asked him who he thought was, but he didn't answer.
    You want to give it a shot?

    Since no one else will say it, the guy running things is a wizard with a computer behind a curtain somewhere in the OZark Mountains.

    I probably should not have mentioned Trump in the context of 9-11 although the link I posted is illustrative of Trump's tendency to monetize anything given the opportunity. That being said, every time I mention the former president in a post it seems to trigger a response from you.
