9/11 Was the Government’s Biggest Failure — So Why Do Truthers Think It Was Their Only Flawless Success?
Quick note before I get into it, because today’s the day this actually matters. It’s Patriot Day. Twenty-five years since 2,977 people went to work, boarded a flight, or showed up for a shift, and didn’t come home, and since 343 FDNY firefighters ran up stairwells everyone else was running down. Everything below this gets …
Highlights of the News with Don Surber: Today includes a reference to a Don Ameche-Wilford Brimley movie.

ITEM 1: Science Alert reported, “Blocking a Single Immune Signal Made Old Mice Act Young Again.”
The story didn’t say if there was a cocoon involved.
America Is In A Slow Motion Suicide
There was a one-story building next to one of the towers that served as its lobby: “Plop, plop, plop” could be heard inside that lobby. Someone asked “what is that noise?” Answer: “People are jumping out the windows instead of being burned to death. They land on the roof, causing this noise.”

Between Shells
Hermit crabs must repeatedly leave an outgrown shell and risk being exposed to find a new one — a picture of trusting God rather than ourselves in life’s vulnerable in-between moments.
Hapless Musician: One redhead’s journey with a piano
Tonight, I am in a band. I am only a guest musician. But the guys on stage are my friends.
It’s a great night. Bright lights are shining in my face. There are happy people in the audience. And I can’t think of many things I love more than playing music with my friends.
All the Days of Our Lives
This has been a sad and bittersweet year for us. So far this year, we’ve bid farewell to eight of our long-time ministry friends and supporters, as they’ve gone home to be with the Lord. We don’t get invited to weddings anymore, but there have been far too many funerals. Most have passed away at a ripe, old age. Some have been taken from us too soon.
The Divine Sword | Ezekiel 21-22 | Our Daily Bread Video Devotional
God is good, and He is just. It’s important for us to remember the fullness of who He is so that we can remember how much we need the salvation and forgiveness His Son Jesus offers to us. In all of our brokenness, we are not without a Savior.
From True Grit to Group Hugs: The Evolution of the American Spirit
Ah, the good old days when the American spirit was as rugged as a cactus and as individualistic as a lone cowboy riding off into the sunset.
Education bureaucrats gotta education bureaucrat!
The important paragraph was the seventeenth one down. What my sadly late best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal gave readers this September 11th morning was a glowing story on Fayette County Public Schools interim Superintendent Bill Bradford, complete with a great photo of the man, as seen in the newspaper’s tweet about the …
‘UNFAIR’: Mamdani’s city-run grocer plan SLAPPED with lawsuit
National Supermarket Association National President Anthony Pena discusses suing New York City over its city-run grocery store plan on ‘Varney & Co.’
PART V — Jesus, the New Eden, the Tree of Life, and the Eternal Vocation of God’s Human Family
Jesus is the center of the entire Bible because He answers all three rebellions. He defeats the serpent (Gen. 3; Rev. 12), proclaims victory over the imprisoned Watchers (1 Pet. 3:19–20), and reclaims the nations disinherited at Babel (Matt. 28:18–20; Acts 2). He is the Second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45), restoring humanity’s failed vocation.
The Hard Truth About 9/11: A sobering view from 25 years after.
President Bush at Ground Zero on 9/14/2001: “Thank you all. I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.”
The Coldest Paradise in Recreational Scuba
There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.
This was an EFFECTIVE MESSAGE from JD Vance, expert says
Seattle radio host Jason Rantz and Steamboat Institute fellow Carine Hajjar discuss Vice President JD Vance’s speech at the Republican midterm convention on ‘The Bottom Line.’
Liberals. They Just Can’t Get The Joke.
Satire is lost on our leftist friends. Type sluggishly, they are very slow on the uptake.
Memphis Belle: Somewhere in Bluff City
Memphis, Tennessee. A cafe. The kind with vinyl booth cushions, all patched up with duct tape. I’m in town to make a speech.
She is my waitress. Her name is on her nametag. She smiles at me after she asks how I want my eggs.
Her teeth are bad. Real bad. There’s probably a story here. I’d wish I knew the rest of it.
Lenin’s Socialism Rewired by Today’s Democrats’ Socialism
There is a maddening repetition in civilization. The national rise-and-fall pattern is the common thread. Mankind never learns; never studies; never accepts reality. Mankind always embraces a delusional blindness. This blind eye excuses, embraces, and enjoys a fancied invincible hubris. The cyclical repetition is amazing. A nation’s “rise and fall” is not Rome’s exclusivity.
How does this happen? Why are citizens complacent regarding their nation’s existence?
