again the media should have been playing this millions of times...
On the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a video clip showing former President Donald Trump reacting to that fateful day has resurfaced yet again.

The clip originates from a WWOR-TV News broadcast later in the day on September 11, 2001. In it, Trump called into the station to discuss the tragic destruction of the World Trade Center towers and focused on one of his New York City properties now being the tallest in the city, in a manner many have since criticized as insensitive and narcissistic. The clip has regularly resurfaced since Trump entered the political realm in 2015.
"It was an amazing phone call," Trump said at the time. "40 Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan and it was, actually before the World Trade Center, the tallest. And when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second tallest and now it's the tallest."
The clip resurfaced again on Sunday, being shared by prominent left-leaning pundit and former federal prosecutor, Ron Filipkowski, on Twitter. As of Sunday afternoon, the clip had been viewed nearly 600,000 times.
Filipkowski's tweet was picked up by numerous other figures on social media, including Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, an outspoken GOP critic of Trump and his supporters. "I forgot about this," the congressman tweeted. "What a narcissist."
"Today marks the 21 year anniversary of Sir Donald Trump boasting on tape that he now has the tallest building in lower Manhattan," comedian John Fugelsang tweeted.
"NEVER FORGET that, on 9/11, trump bragged that he had the tallest building after the World Trade Center came down, and years later Jared Kushner took $2 BILLION DOLLARS from the people who planned 9/11," Majid Padellan, better known online as "Brooklyn Dad Defiant," said.
Political commentator Lindy Li, in her own tweet, drew a through line between the infamous clip and Trump's recent run-in with the FBI over his alleged handling of top-secret government documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in regard to the documents, and that any classified documents he took from the White House had been declassified.
"FBI found 43 EMPTY folders for classified docs," Li tweeted. "Trump may've sold the nuclear secrets of an ally (Israel) to the Saudis the funders of 9/11. Tomorrow is the 21st anniversary of the murder of 2996 Americans. 21st anniversary of Trump falsely bragging about having the tallest tower."
Nearly 3,000 people were killed on 9/11 after two hijacked commercial planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a fourth into a field in rural Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The terror attacks were orchestrated by al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.
Trump was notably absent from a line-up of former presidents at last year's 9/11 20th anniversary memorial event, which included Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. In a statement released on the day, Trump briefly touched on the attacks and offered praise to first responders, but mostly focused on attacking President Joe Biden over the recent handling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
"The leader of our country was made to look like a fool, and that can never be allowed to happen," Trump said at the time about the chaotic exit he helped to negotiate, blaming "bad planning, incredible weakness, and leaders who truly don't understand what was happening."
"This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of victory and honor and strength," the former president added. "Instead, Joe Biden and his inept administration surrendered in defeat."
Newsweek reached out to Trump's office for comment.

Alex Jones Mocks Jury Ordering Him to Pay $1 Billion to Sandy Hook Families
Quote: | A jury has found InfoWars founder Alex Jones liable for $965 million worth of damages in a defamation suit brought by the family members of eight victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.
The verdict, delivered on Wednesday, comes after Jones was ordered to pay $45.2 million to families in a separate case in August. He now owes families of the victims over $1 billion.

Robbie Parker, whose six-year-old daughter was killed in the shooting, received $120 million alone for defamation and emotional distress.
Jones did not take the verdict seriously, mocking the damages on InfoWars. “Do these people actually think they’re getting any of this money?” he asked.
In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, in which 20 children and 6 administrators were killed, Jones claimed the shooting was a “hoax” and that the murdered children and their families were “crisis actors.” In both of the trials against Jones, family members and law enforcement officials have testified to the barrage of harassment they experienced at the hands of InfoWars viewers. Jackie Barden, whose son Daniel was killed in the shooting, testified in Connecticut about receiving letters from people claiming to have urinated on her son’s grave and threatening to dig up his body. |

As long as they take away every penny he made spreading lies. And his house, his cars. He has no decency, so they can’t take that away. |

if the media was liberal this would be front pages for weeks...

Florida dads shoot each other's daughters in terrifying road rage incident
Quote: | Nassau County, Florida - Two fathers shot each other's young daughters during a road rage incident that escalated horrifically, according to police.
Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said during a recent press conference this his agency "received multiple 911 calls with reports of people being shot at" on Highway 1.
William Hale (35), who drove a black Dodge Ram pickup, and Frank Allison (43), who drove a gray Nissan Murano, allegedly got into what one caller described as a "cat and mouse game."
Leeper said both drivers were "speeding" and "driving erratically" while constantly break-checking each other.
Hale, at one point, pulled up next to Allison, whose wife gave him the finger. A water bottle from Hale's vehicle was thrown back in response.
Allison then began firing shots from a handgun, hitting Hale's five-year-old daughter in the leg. Hale shot back with his own handgun, hitting Allison's 14-year-old daughter in the back, leaving her with a collapsed lung.
"Thankfully no one was killed in this incident, but it could have been easily turned out that way, because two people were acting stupid and let their tempers get the best of them," Leeper explained.
"It could have been two dead kids because of two stupid grown men," he added.
Both Florida men were arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. They were released hours later after making the $150,000 bond. |

here is one very hard to find...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tulsi-gabbard-s-ties-to-secretive-cult-may-explain-her-perplexing-political-journey/ar-AA12Qexn?ocid=winp2sv1plustaskbar&cvid=647fe541e71a4017a165b2d2bbe81864
Last week, Gabbard announced she was leaving the Democratic Party, claiming it had become “an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness”.
The decision came as little surprise to anyone who has followed her political trajectory from 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to darling of Russian propagandists and the American far-right.
[b]To understand her ambitions, her aunt Dr Caroline Sinavaiana Gabbard tells The Independent in an interview that it is necessary to look to her upbringing in a secretive cult called the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) whose members show absolute loyalty to a reclusive guru, Chris Butler.
A former member toldThe Independent the group’s teachings are virulently homophobic, often anti-Islamic and misogynist, and how they were forced to worship Butler, who is considered to be akin to a God.
Sinavaiana Gabbard says her niece’s career is all about the pursuit of power, and her bid for the presidency in 2020 was the culmination of four decades of Butler’s efforts to seek political influence.

how long has this right wing way wacko been in the media..
https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/newsmax-drops-lara-logan-after-comments-about-satan-migrants-and-blood-drinking-globalists/ar-AA13cDYO?cvid=0cd758f22ae94425a2c84b422caea887&ocid=winp2sv1plustaskbarhover
Newsmax drops Lara Logan after comments about Satan, migrants, and blood-drinking globalists
Quote: |
Lara Logan, formerly a CBS News reporter and more recently a frequent Fox News guest, went so off-field on former Fox News host Eric Bolling's Newsmax show Wednesday night, Newsmax said she is no longer welcome on the right-wing network. Bolling brought her on to talk about immigration, and she ended up "pushing QAnon tropes, invoking blood libel, and fear-mongering about a 'global cabal' planning to 'dilute the pool of patriots' in the United States," The Daily Beast reports.
"Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network," Newsmax told The Daily Beast on Thursday. "We have no plans to interview her again."
Logan started her comments Wednesday by claiming the Biden administration is trying to engineer "a Reichstag fire" — an event the Nazis used to consolidate power and curtail liberties — then went on to claim she was shown a secret United Nations plan in which a "global cabal" would "dilute the blood of patriots" by importing 100 million immigrants, claiming God knows "the open border is Satan's way of taking control of the world," and insisting Israeli intellectual Yuval Harari "and the rest of them at the World Economic Forum ... want us eating insects, cockroaches ... while they dine on the blood of children."
Logan was dropped by Fox News, and her Fox Nation streaming show canceled, after she compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to a notorious Nazi doctor last year. Since then, The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona writes, "Logan has become increasingly associated with the QAnon community" and has "been openly peddling antisemitic tropes in recent months," often centered around "the Rothschilds."
"Conservatives often complain about being deplatformed," but "in this case, Logan has effectively been deplatformed by right-wing media outlets such as Fox News and Newsmax, two channels that often fuel complaints about the supposed censorship of conservatives," CNN's Oliver Darcy observes. "It shows that people like Logan are often exiled from platforms not for holding conservative views, but because they use their platforms in a grossly irresponsible way." |
