My thoughts and prayers are with all those around the world that have lost loved ones in natural disasters, tragic terrorists attacks and illnesses. May the love of Family, friends and above all our Almighty Heavenly Father give you comfort and strength. And peace as in the promise in Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

2,996 people were killed, and more than 6,000 others wounded. Al-Qaeda members:19. Number of the 19 who were Saudi:15. Emotional fallout: immeasurable. There are always some people that take this time to make flippant remarks.

How do you honor those thousands of Americans who died prematurely when republican governors and legislatures in those wonderful red states didn’t take advantage of expanding Medicaid in their states? Or, did you even notice?
There were estimates in the 10s of thousands of Americans who would die over the last 8 years because of lack of appropriate health care. I’m sure many died slow, lingering deaths from untreated illnesses and/or injuries.
Yeah, alex, partisan politics affects lives but you prefer patting yourself on the back for acknowledging the obvious tragedy of 9/11. But, what did you have to say about the other unnecessary early deaths I mentioned above. Their deaths likely went unnoticed or ignored by you and most republican elected officials.
In fact, those same officials are still working proactively to ensure many more such deaths if and when they repeal the ACA and support for Medicaid and even Planned Parenthood.
This is NOT a flippant post in case you want to think so. I’ve been writing about that issue for years while you were only capable of thinking “They’re all the same, all corrupt.” and whatnot.
I know this will fall on your deaf ears but I wanted to point out your and others’ hypocrisies for all to see.
But, that’s you in a nutshell.

LOL…as is almost always the case with you “alex,” the irony is overpowering here. YOU have the audacity to say “stick to the subject of the article” when nine out of ten of your comments are not only not about the article, but not even about the news…just wild speculative gossip about someone you are too scared to meet but just HAVE to talk about.
William says
My agenda, alex.
Thousands of unnecessary deaths due to republican incompetence and destructive ideology is MY agenda. Seems even worse than 9/11 but you can’t be bothered with that.
That you choose to ignore what I said is telling. You are part of the problem.
Where were you when the subject was the ACA, Medicaid, Planned Parenthood and the rest? MIA???
But, go ahead and keep patting yourself on the back with your selective concerns. It didn’t take much for you, did it?

Y’know, your last name is an adverb.
Couldn’t help it. That was a line from the movie; a funny, funny movie.
Tim Scott says
Clearly you missed the irony.

Those darn Middle Easterners with their endless blood feuding! Why can’t they just put the past in the past and learn to get along instead of dragging the whole world into their squabbles?
World Trade Center…America will NEVER forget or forgive!
