I have undertaken this project to put a face to 9/11 by posting a photo of everyone killed that day. If after everything that happened you can vote for the ideology that brought it about it's as if you are killing them yourself! Pictured below was 28 year old Lloyd Brown who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald as a compliance officer and was due to turn 29 weeks later. He served in the Navy between 1992 and 1996 during which time he received a good conduct medal and an inaugural medal as well as being part of the ceremonial guard at the White House. He had two children from a prior relationship who were living across country but with whom he stayed in regular contact and he was in a serious relationship with coworker Monique De Jesus who was also killed that day. To forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy!

I'm hearing Dave Chappelle joked about 9/11 saying it didn't matter because it only killed a bunch of white people. Well my mother was one of those white people but I don't think that Bernard Brown who was killed on his way to a National Geographic conference in California and instead was on Flight 11 crashing into the Pentagon was white do you?

Pictured below was 11 year old Bernard Brown who was killed aboard Flight 11 which crashed into the Pentagon. He was one of three students who had been picked to go to a National Geographic conference in California and he was accompanied by teacher Hilda Taylor. Bernard's mother had driven them to the airport from the naval base that morning and his father who was a Navy Chief Petty Officer worked at the Pentagon but was at a golf outing that day. Bernard was survived by his parents and sister and to forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy! I have to admit that this instance has me in tears because young people like Bernard hadn't even had a chance to live yet and were taken out by insanity!

He spoke to his brother about a minute or two before Flight 175 hit the South Tower and that was the only day of the week he was going to be in the office. He and his wife had just purchased a house the month before and they had a 19 month old daughter plus his wife gave birth to their second child on October 24th, 2001.

I have been waiting 24 years for my neighbor David Westerfield to be executed for the kidnapping and murder of my 7-year-old neighbor, Danielle van Dam. And now thanks to @GavinNewsom, it looks like it will never happen.
I was 13 when he abducted her from her bedroom in the middle of the night in 2002. I would never equate what I experienced with what her family suffered, but Danielle's murder devastated our whole neighborhood, and me personally. I was a sensitive kid and it was a major contributor to my mental health decline in adolescence.
In the 20 days between her disappearance and his arrest, I developed insomnia and spent those nights walking around the house checking the locks on the doors and windows. I followed the trial closely. As we learned the horrific details, I couldn't stop thinking about what she endured during the 3 days he had her.
Her body was found dumped off the side of a road 25 days after she went missing. It was too decomposed to test for sexual assault, but we all knew that's why he took her. He was also convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material found on his computer.
There was never any doubt about Westerfield's guilt. There was an abundance of forensic evidence, including her blood on his clothing and in his motorhome. In 2019, the California Supreme Court unanimously upheld his conviction and death sentence. Shortly afterward, Newsom imposed his moratorium. And now he does THIS.
California voters rejected abolishing the death penalty in both 2012 and 2016, and even voted to expedite executions. All these years, I've held on to the hope that someone would eventually take office who respected the will of California voters and would allow these sentences to be carried out.
It's especially insulting to hear Newsom go on about morality, as if he is morally superior to those of us whose lives were affected by these heinous crimes and who want to see the perpetrators brought to justice. I'm hoping the California Supreme Court can stop Westerfield's commutation.

He had already received two citations for bravery during his career and intended to take the lieutenant's exam the following month. He was survived by his parents, stepparents and eight siblings and to forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy!

Pictured below was 37 year old firefighter Kevin Bracken who was killed in the North Tower. Firefighting was in his blood since his father had been a volunteer fireman but what he loved most was the camaraderie in the firehouse. His wife said that he was the most optimistic person she ever met and he was never unhappy and it was also noted how lucky he had been. He always found a parking spot when he needed it, once came out of a car accident without a scratch even though the vehicle flipped over and another time hit a golf ball into a tree and it careened into the hole and they called it the Bracken bounce. He was survived by his wife and they had talked about having children but had not gone around to it yet. To forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy!

Well this sucks.
I’m going to rant for a few moments and then move on in a positive way.
My three unvarnished thoughts on tonight:
1. Any MAGA voter who sat this out to "prove a point" to the eGOP who now lives under Democrat rule deserves what they are about to experience.
2. Trump knew Iran could cost the midterms. But he did it anyway. Because he knows that the Iranian mullahs are theocratic madmen who are trying to build nuclear weapons so they can use them on the USA and Israel, precipitating Armageddon so the Hidden Imam will arise from a well in Qom and force what’s left of humanity to convert to Shia Islam. So Trump had to choose. Win the midterms or save humanity? He chose wisely. Historians will eventually acknowledge this reality.
3. The PRIMARIES are where you make RINOs pay, not the general. Geez.
So THAT’S all over and it’s on to 2028 to save America. Let’s put this behind us, pull together as patriotic conservative Americans, squash the squabbling, infighting and name calling, and get back to where we need to be.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
No. No it was not.
Onward to 2028…. (I’m dropping the name of my preferred presidential candidate in the morning.)
