REQUIEM FOR 9/11 REMEMBRANCES:
It's 10 days later and I've finally calmed down.
That day started with me taking -- and preparing to post -- this picture which has been my more-or-less standard remembrance for the last nearly 20 years. Then, as usual, I started looking around the internet for other interesting remembrances I might link to -- and I was appalled by the number of 'arrogant elitist jerks whose only skill is preening and preaching at their alleged lessers'* who have taken their cue from the tyrannical Biden administration to try and drive 9/11 down the memory hole.
For the record, a requiem is a funeral mass, which after reviewing the mainstream and governing class (of course I repeat myself) 9/11 coverage seems an appropriate post title.
Here are a few examples:
PRESIDENT BIDEN says he will visit Ground Zero, the Pentagon and Shanksville on the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. And give a prerecorded message....
BIDEN AT DOVER: at his considerable worst.
TRUMP, BIDEN, AND 9/11: The good, bad, and ugly.
AMERICA-HATING DEMOCRATS hit all the wrong notes on 9/11 anniversary.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: American Studies department’s only 9/11 event focuses on ‘anti-Blackness.’
VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION shows (then deletes) video promoting 'culturally responsive and inclusive lessons' to do with 9/11.
There were a few positive posts. Here are two:
AFTER 9/11: Will remembrance lead us back to unity?
MALLARD FILLMORE remembers the best.
We cannot let this Biden kakistocracy of corrupt, morally bankrupt petty martinets continue drive this country below third-world status. We just cannot.

*Thanks, Kurt Schlicter, for those descriptive words.
UPDATE: Another small bright spot. A 9-11 ceremony in real America. That's my daughter speaking at the ceremony. My pride is overflowing.

Here is a better idea: stay away.REMEMBERING 9/11/01: Twenty years later, solemn ceremonies are separated by politics.
Biden has no business setting foot in those sacred places on that hallowed day. I take no joy in saying this. As a general rule, I believe that when a president attends a ceremony on behalf of the American people, he is not representing himself but the office of the presidency. We respect that office, even if we do not respect the man who occupies it.
But this is different.

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION shows (then deletes) video promoting 'culturally responsive and inclusive lessons' to do with 9/11.
The video in question was titled "Culturally Responsive and Inclusive 9/11 Commemoration."I'm ashamed to admit I once lived in Virginia.
Notes from those who have seen the video highlight that there is an attempt to get rid of the idea of Muslim responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. "We’re not going to reproduce a false assumption of Muslim responsibility for 9/11."
