Tower of Voices.

The Tower of Voices, a roughly 93-foot-tall concrete and steel structure, contains a wind chime for each of the 40 passengers and crew members who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, and represents the final phase of the Flight 93 National Memorial. Each chime will generate its own distinctive sound.

Lest we forget…these were the first to fight in the War on Terror.

Nike.

Consider the timing of Nike’s release of the Kaepernick ad campaign.  Just before 9/11 adds sting to the insult.

I know  no one who visits this site is buying Nikes,  but you need to cut your kids (including the 40 year olds in the basement) allowance so they can’t buy them either.

911

Our President behaved on 9/11/01 the same way he responds to every tragedy today – with concern, compassion and practical help.

Donald Trump went in person down to ground zero the day it happened.

And he didn’t just go for a photo op – he went to see how he could help.

After finding a suitable site to set up, Trump sent his hotel staff, equipment, food, sodas, water, etc. and he fed the rescue workers day after day!

A lot of people do not know this but he allowed fire fighters to stay in his hotel for free among others who were there to help. There is an old saying. Put your money where your mouth is. President Trump has more skin in the game than all of Washington put
together..

QOTD: Quite a great height.

If you wanted to commit suicide with certainty then jump from a great height.

I’d recommend jumping from the top of Barack Obama’s ego… to the depth of his accomplishments.

First female Ranger?

Seems a little small?

I’m calling Bullshit!

Your Army

This staff sergeant is the first enlisted woman to earn a Ranger tab, and she’s not in combat arms

The Army’s Ranger school at Fort Benning, Georgia, holds a graduation every few weeks throughout the year, but Friday’s marked an historic moment: One of the graduates was an enlisted woman, the first enlisted woman to earn the coveted Ranger tab.

Staff Sgt. Amanda Kelley, 29, is the first enlisted woman to earn her Ranger qualification, according to 1st Armored Division spokeswoman Lt. Col. Crystal Boring.

She was one of 127 students to graduate on Friday, according to Fort Benning spokesman Benjamin Garrett, out of 347 hopefuls who began the training in late July.

Kelley is a Fort Bliss, Texas-based electronic warfare specialist with the 1st Armored Division’s combat aviation brigade, Boring said.

She has previously been stationed in South Korea and deployed to Iraq, according toNewsweek, who first reported on her graduation.

 A geek in an aviation slot.  Why in Hell did The Powers That Be waste a precious slot in Ranger school for anyone, male or female, like that?

Of course the answer is (did you guess?) to appease the feminists in Congress and to assure them that the military believes in Female Equality.

There has been enough reports on the “remediation steps” taken to ensure the precious darlings get through the course; from actual stools placed in front of high obstacles courses to reduced physical fitness goals.   Just don’t take any of these affirmative action dollies into actual war.

Burt Reynolds at age 82, RIP.

Hunter Thompson:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

That was Burt’s life.  It was a HELL of a ride!

Bonus material!

Women Who Burt Reynolds Has Dated (or married)

There will be quite a collection of teary ladies for this guy’s funeral!

Reported in Louisiana.

So I was taking my child (we don’t use gendered terms like “son” or “daughter”) out in the Prius to go to Whole Foods and on the way I encountered a cis white male driving a pickup truck. I didn’t want to make eye contact out of fear, so we stopped and let the truck turn in front of us. While he was turning he nodded right at me and raised his hand. Is this a new white power symbol? I’m literally shaking right now!?

He had a bumper sticker that said Pipe-fitters Local 117, and another that said Ford Power. I’ve reported both of these new hate groups to the SPLC
