September 11, 2001 — Never Forget
by Shifra on September 11, 2020Nineteen years ago…Never forget. A reminder to take nothing for granted; that the next day is never promised; and to live as best we can, as each day is a gift.

13 Children of Fallen 9/11 Firefighters Join the NYFD
by Shifra on September 11, 2019It’s been eighteen years since the horror of 9/11. According to Jewish tradition, each Hebrew letter corresponds to a number, and one can calculate the numerical value of a word by adding the letters together. The Hebrew word for “life” is “chai,” and the numerical equivalent is 18. So it seems fitting that on the eighteenth anniversary of that day, a new generation of firefighters is ‘blossoming.’ Via NY Post. ….On the eve of the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the current FDNY Academy class, set to graduate in two weeks, includes 13 members — 12 men and one woman — whose firefighter fathers were murdered on 9/11, The Post has learned…. “I think it’s a...

Ocasio-Cortez Backs Boycott of NY Post Over 9/11 Response To Omar
by Shifra on April 14, 2019Ocasio-Cortez tweeted her approval of the Yemeni-American bodega boycott of the NY Post over their response to Omar’s “some people did something” 9/11 remarks: This is what real unity (& NYC solidarity) looks like. No, Sandy, this is what fascism looks like. She already played a big role in killing 25K Amazon jobs in NYC. So is she thrilled at the prospect of shutting down a NY paper, where more jobs would be lost? Via Pluralist. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Saturday backed a campaign by Yemeni American shop owners in New York City to boycott the New York Post. The freshman congresswoman hailed the “community” for the effort, which she compared to its 2017 protest of President Donald Trump’s...

Update: Saudi Arabia ‘Candy Statue’ Removed From Ground Zero After Backlash
by Shifra on January 14, 2019This is excellent news, and the statue should never have been placed anywhere near the site of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. And TAM Kitten made an excellent observation last week after hearing about the statue honoring Saudi Arabia being placed near Ground Zero: After the attack, there were reports of Palestinians in the West Bank handing out candy to “celebrate” the horrific event, so that the “candy” statue at Ground Zero seemed particularly jarring. Good riddance. Via Observer. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will remove an art installation featuring a nine-foot tall statue of Saudi Arabia’s flag from the World Trade Center campus. “We have been in contact with the 9/11...

Germany Releases, Deports Moroccan 9/11 Accomplice
by Shifra on October 16, 2018Fifteen years behind bars for accessory to murdering 2,997 people. Nice going, Germany. NOT. Via NY Post. That’s a real killer smile. A Moroccan man convicted of helping the 9/11 terrorists carry out their plot flashed a huge grin as he flew home a free man on Monday after being released early from his meager sentence in Germany. Mounir el Motassadeq was sentenced to just 15 years behind bars for accessory to murder in 2006, but received credit for time served after his initial arrest in 2001 — and was freed shortly before finishing even that stretch to be deported to his homeland. German courts ruled that he was part of the so-called “Hamburg cell” with ringleader Mohamed Atta and...

New 9/11 Mural Tribute Unveiled
by Tammy on September 10, 2018Beautiful and sad. Just one more day before the anniversary of that horrible event. As we continue to deal with terrorism around the world, I’m finally confident we have a president who is committed to destorying our enemies instead of ‘winning their hearts and minds.’ May God bless all our First Responders, and all those lost that obscene day. Via NY Post. The image of a firefighter overcome with exhaustion and despair by the horrors of 9/11 now towers over Midtown in an eight-story mural on East 49th Street near Third Avenue. The work, by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, is based on a photograph by Post lensman Matthew McDermott of Mike Bellantoni on one knee, head bowed, leaning on his...

Confessed 9/11 Conspirator On Hunger Strike Over Claims of Religious ‘Torture’
by Shifra on July 22, 2018He claims they took his clock away. Torture? Unfortunately, the 2606 who were killed in the World Trade Center, the 246 on the four planes, and the 125 in the Pentagon are all unavailable for comment. Via BizPac Review. A confessed co-conspirator of the September 11th attacks went on a hunger strike to protest the so-called religious “torture” he was receiving at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Zacarias Moussaoui, who is currently serving six life sentences for his role in the 2001 terrorist attacks, wrote three letters to federal magistrate judge Michael Hegarty announcing his hunger strike, which he said commenced on June 22, reported the Denver Post. Moussaoui began the strike after the clock in his...

Senate Overrides Obama 9/11 Veto in Overwhelming Vote
by Tammy on September 28, 2016I won’t praise them for doing their job, this once, with only a few months to go for Obama’s administration. Via The Hill. The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to override President Obama’s veto of a bill that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia. The 97-1 vote marks the first time the Senate has mustered enough support to overrule Obama’s veto pen. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was the sole vote to sustain Obama’s veto. Not a single Democrat came to the Senate floor before the vote to argue in favor of Obama’s position. The House is expected to vote to override Obama’s veto later on Wednesday. The White House lashed out at the...

Obama Vetoes Bipartisan Bill Allowing Families of 9/11 Victims to Sue Saudi Arabia
by Tammy on September 23, 2016Obama, once again, making clear his contempt for Americans. This now sets up a potential showdown with Congress. Let’s see if the Congress Critters have what it takes to do the right thing and override this contemptuous veto. Via Fox News. President Obama, just hours before it was set to become law, on Friday vetoed a bipartisan bill allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia – setting up a showdown with Congress where lawmakers on both sides of the aisle aim to override the president’s decision. Even House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi indicated support this week for an override, saying members believe the families “should have their day in court.” If Congress is successful, it...

Vandals Trash 2,997 American Flags At Occidental College 9/11 Memorial
by Shifra on September 12, 2016Obama attended Occidental College. Perfect fit… Via College Fix. At Occidental College on Saturday, vandals trashed 2,977 U.S. flags planted in the quad to memorialize those who died on Sept. 11. The students who planted the small American flags found them uprooted and thrown in campus garbage cans. Every last flag. Some were even snapped in half. Not only that, dozens of makeshift fliers accompanied the vandalism. Taped to benches and other surfaces, most of the fliers stated “R.I.P.” to 9/11 victims as well as to 1.45 million Iraqis who died “during the U.S. invasion for something they didn’t do.” Sophomore Alan Bliss, a math and economics major who helped lead the effort to plant the flags, told The College...

9/11 Hero Welles Crowther: The Man with the Red Bandanna
by Shifra on September 11, 2016Welles with his mother, 1999 Always remember. Never forget. Via NY Post. On Sept. 11, 2001, Welles Crowther sat at his desk on the 104th floor in the south tower of the World Trade Center and dialed his mother’s cellphone. His mother, Alison, never heard the call. Welles left a short message. “Mom . . . this is Welles. I . . . I want you to know that I’m OK.” The time was 9:12 a.m. They were the last words his family would ever hear him speak. Some details of what happened next remain a mystery. But through determination, careful questioning and a single clue, Welles’ parents uncovered a story of heroism that would touch a nation…. Twenty-four years old and fresh from...

Muslim Group Demands: Remove ‘Islamic Terrorists’ Text From 9/11 Monument
by Shifra on September 6, 2016Suggested monument change: “On September 11, 2011, two buildings in lower Manhattan blew up.” You’re welcome. Via Fox News. A 9/11 memorial monument is causing controversy in the small town of Owego, New York. The Islamic Organization Of The Southern Tier has taken issue with the writing on the monument, which calls the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks “Islamic terrorists.” The group is concerned that the wording unfairly paints all Muslims with the same brush and could encourage hatred toward Muslims living in the area. They are requesting that the monument instead read “terrorists” or “Al Qaeda terrorists.” Town supervisor Donald Castellucci, however, is pushing back. “I don’t live in a politically correct world,” Castellucci said. “I live in a...

Syrian Immigrant Who Said 9/11 ‘Changed The World For Good’ Is A Homeland Security Adviser
by Tammy on June 14, 2016Surprise. Via Daily Caller. One of the sitting members on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a 25-year-old immigrant of Syrian heritage who said that the 9/11 attacks “changed the world for good” and has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media. Laila Alawa was one of just 15 people tapped to serve on the newly-formed HSAC Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism in 2015 — the same year she became an American citizen. Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism. Alawa says she immigrated...

Bretagne, the Last Known 9/11 Search & Rescue Dog, Has Passed Away
by Tammy on June 7, 2016So sweet and good, and a hero to boot. Last year Bretagne (pronounced Brittany) was honored in New York. I have a feeling Bretagne will be the BFF for all the angels. They need dogs just like we do! Pray for her and may she Rest in Peace. Via Fox News. The last known living search dog who helped recover victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks died in a Houston suburb at age 16. A statement from the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service says Bretagne (pronounced like Brittany), a Golden Retriever, was euthanized at a veterinary clinic in Cypress. The Houston Chronicle reported that around two dozen firefighters lined the sidewalk as Bretagne was brought into the veterinarian’s...
