Tower 2 of the Twin Towers collapses as a plume of smoke and debris fill the air while people watch from Broome Street and 6th Avenue on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, in New York, New York.
It started as a gorgeous late-summer morning in New York City. Then everything went straight to hell.
Where were you when you knew?
Twenty-five years have passed as if in a heartbeat. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, I was sitting on the deck atop my Brooklyn brownstone with stunning views of lower Manhattan, preparing to take my daughter to her first day of preschool when a small plane appeared to fly into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Or so we thought. Continue reading
A new report from Defending Education claims that mandatory ethnic studies programs in several states – including California, New York and Minnesota – are misrepresenting the history of 9/11.
At first, the bargain seemed harmless. Who would object to carrying a phone in a pocket? It promised convenience, safety, speed, and connection. We could reach our loved ones anywhere. We’d never miss an important call. In an emergency, help would be only a tap away. It sounded less like technology and more like protection. That was the sales pitch, and most of it was true.
A recent study has identified a potential brain-based explanation for the connection between future-oriented thinking and the characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. The research suggests that the strength of communication between specific brain networks is linked to a person’s ability to plan for the future, which in turn is associated with the severity of inattention and hyperactivity. The findings were published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry.
The Democrat Party [nuthin’ “democratic” about it] has largely been the enemy of America, since 1913 with the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency and the passage of the Federal Reserve Bank Act and the Income Tax — and they have grown progressively worse through the FDR, LBJ, Carter, Obama and Biden years to the point that they are essentially authoritarian communists demanding the complete overthrow of our American system and the eradication of our constitutional republic and traditional America Herself, along with the virtues and principles that built Her — hiding the true horror and malicious and evil intent behind their agenda in the soft, comforting term of “the fundamental transformation of America”.
A pair of unanimous New Mexico Supreme Court orders has put a key part of Project Jupiter — a major artificial intelligence data center project in Santa Teresa — on pause, handing opponents a significant, though likely temporary, victory.
The Year of the Democratic Socialists took another twist Tuesday when the House went on the offensive to paint Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) party as a dangerous force of anti-Americanism.
This article was originally written when Covid hit. We knew very little about the machinations of parts of our government that were working to enhance and spread Covid as far as possible. Now we even know a lot about our government’s hand in producing it and pushing the also dangerous vaccine on us. Some wondered why.
Power rarely announces itself as domination; more often, it appears as procedure, opportunity, expertise, influence, or common sense.
It began the way these things often do: with my morning coffee steaming beside me, the first bitter sip still on my tongue, the news still turning over in my mind, and one ordinary click. I was looking for information on drug interactions and their possible link to cognitive decline – a subject personal enough to make me sit up a little straighter and pay closer attention.
History is a beneficial way to learn. When schools cut back on history, society suffers. And we are suffering.
Virtually everyone agrees that our public schools are in a state of decline. Needless to say, it isn’t because we aren’t spending enough money. The federal government, our state governments and our local governments are collectively spending nearly a trillion dollars a year on public education. That is a colossal pile of money. Since 1960, spending per student has increased by 350 percent. That is even after adjusting for inflation. At this stage, we spend more money per student than any other nation on the entire planet other than Luxembourg. Anyone that believes that we can solve our education crisis by spending even more money is simply being delusional.
I am quite sure y’all are looking at the title to this missive and asking, what is the ol’ Colonel talking about? Well, bear with me, please. We can recall the maxim of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung alluding to the “long slow march” towards communism. We know that this insidious and murderous ideology was first introduced to the world by one Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their book, “The Communist Manifesto.”
