Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and, as Dorothy Parker once said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.”

This is a fine Sunday morning to pause and remember.

Never forget 9/11 and be on guard

The 21st anniversary of this era’s Pearl Harbor is today. As the last of the Greatest Generation leave us, the memory of Pearl Harbor fades. For those of us who witnessed that September morning in 2001, either in person or as it unfolded in real time on television, the horror and evil that was so bright and immediate is turning into pastel shades as we leave the second decade since the event. There are young people attending college who hadn’t even been conceived when 19 Islamist terrorists murdered 2,977 innocent souls.

Today, there will be some solemn memorials across the nation. Large and small, private or public, many will mourn and honor those that perished. And there will be voices raised about the unity of the nation at that time and a bemoaning of the divisiveness of our time. But don’t be deceived and do be aware that even in the short hours after 9/11 there were loud voices that blamed America for 9/11. Whether it was the “chickens come home to roost” charge or the conspiracies that there were no planes and the Twin Towers were brought down by explosives …

… remember Rosie O’Donnell’s charge that fire can’t melt steel? Too bad she picked that day to take a break from having her mouth stuffed with Ho-Hos.

The elite of our country don’t really believe in same America that the rest of us do. Remembrance of 9/11 annoys them unless they can exploit it.

Oh, I’m sure you are all waiting – with dread – on whatever Biden’s Darth Maul junior staff will write for him today. Let us pray that whatever it is that Jill is too hung over to allow Joe to be unchaperoned in front of a mic to mangle it.

Now consider Jabba the Hut’s twin Michael Moore in 2001:

“If someone did this [9/11] to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, D.C., and the planes’ destination of California — these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!” — Michael Moore On 9/12/2001

and consider him today

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore declared Tuesday that al Qaeda founder Usama bin Laden “won” because the United States is in disarray two decades after the terror leader attempted to eliminate the American dream. (snip)

Moore feels bin Laden and his loyalists were “mad geniuses” who knew exactly what they were doing on 9/11 but the “real tell” of his prescience was how he knew America would engage in a 20-year war as a result.

“How did he know we would be so obsessed with him — to such an extent where we would massively, cruelly neglect the needs of our own people, denying them help like free health care — and instead, take their homes from them to pay off the hospital bills,” Moore continued. “Was it really about the 3,000 dead that made us occupy Afghanistan for 20 years? I mean, c’mon, we’ve lost 3,000 on many days during this pandemic and no one is going to read their names every year at some memorial.

Michael Moore, a slovenly male who always looks like he’s 5-days short of an annual shower, demonstrates that peevishness is true perpetual emotion. He’s annoyed we hold 9/11 memorials and, because normal Americans resist being this century’s Soviet Union, we are the true terrorists

The liberal filmmaker then declared Americans never bothered to fight the two “true” terror threats: Capitalism and climate change.

Last I heard, Moore’s net worth is $50 million (and I just refuse to even venture a guess about his girth … a girl must have some standards) but he’s on a rampage against gluttony and the profit motive.

Ah, what cheap grace to demand his gardener and his housekeeper be stripped of their property for The Greater Good(tm), but not him. Moore would have Kim Jong-un swoon in admiration.

Fetterman’s Sunday thumb in your eye

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman (previously seen as an uncredited extra “War Boy” in Mad Max Fury Road) has gone out of his way to not just ignore 9/11 but to hold a political rally. On a day that honors innocent dead, Fetterman is all about banging the drum for glorious abortion and, to enhance this deathfest, have an anti-cop activist as speaker.

Fetterman, who has said he does not support any limits on abortion, will appear with female lawmakers and Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson. The pro-abortion group has said it “supports efforts to defund and divest from the police” because of their “continued militarization and brutal treatment of Black people.” McGill Johnson said in September 2020 that “we must keep demanding change, including the call to defund the police.”

What a sweetheart! Numerous LEOs and other first responders died on 9/11/2001 but let’s forget that now, there are criminals to coddle and babies to kill!

A little something as palate cleanser

Yes, I suppose I was a bit dark above for a Sunday visit to the snarkside. Next round of adult beverages on me, dears. In the meantime, let me share a couple of my fave cartoons of the last week. It’s a hoot to find unapologetic and unwoke artists.
