Imagine what that feels like.
There are a lot of ways to teach your children to keep going.
Letting them watch you do it has to be one of the best.
Absolute legend! 🫡

25 years ago tonight, nearly 3000 people, including 23 members of the NYPD, spent their final night with their families and loved ones.
This evening, as the WTC Memorial “Tribute in Light” shines over NYC, our thoughts are with the families & friends of every soul lost on 9/11.

Chinese PhD student should win awards for this interview with Christopher Nolan.
She was fantastic.
“We turn greatness into privileges and demand apologies from it. That’s a fact of Hollywood.”

Watch the slow-motion version here.
Alex Pretti was disarmed—of his lawfully possessed, properly permitted, Second-Amendment protected, holstered firearm.
They disarmed him. Then they killed him.
Why?
Are they untrained goons? Did they panic? Or are they drunk on impunity?

Activists protested outside a synagogue, chanting, “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.”
Whatever the amnesia surrounding 10/7, the truth must never be forgotten: Hamas murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, and tortured thousands of innocent Israelis. It is—and has always been—a barbaric oppressor of its own people.
Support for Hamas is not an expression of empathy for Palestinians; it is an expression of antipathy toward Jews and Israelis. Hate has no place in NYC.

The "warmth of collectivism" is to freeze while those with heated dachas tell you how noble your sacrifice is.

Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.
