I used to start my day with comics. I have become much more mature now in my retirement, so I go to various liberal and conservative news feeds. Actually, it is funnier. I started doing this to see both sides of the issues.

At first reading, you can see that liberal newsfeeds on this day are much 'fluffier' than the conservative feeds. For me, the only article that interested me was the passing of James Earl Jones. Truely a man blessed with talent. Another thing you see just reading the liberal news feed is that there is not ONE story about the presidential debate. I can only assume that their readership is more concerned about ice cream and Christmas crocheted items than the future of their country. Tomorrow they will tell how VP Harris laid waste to Trump and all will be well.
On the conservative side of things, half the stories were about the debate. Reading just the liberal news you wouldn't even know there was a debate, while the conservative news seems to direct you to watch the debate. The other conservative news concerns 'hard' issues.
This, alone, tells a lot about our country today.
However, there is one other news story that has been ignored on September 10, 2024 by both liberal and conservative. The last time this country rallied together as one people. The events of September 11, 2001.
Or nation was attacked on OUR own soil. It didn't matter if the dead and the dying were Democrats or Republicans. They were OUR people. When the Republican president went before a joint session of Congress, he was met with a prolonged standing ovation because he was OUR president. When people gathered in churches all over the country that night, it didn't matter if they were liberal or conservative, they were heat sick and they needed to call upon OUR God. We said we would never forget, yet we have forgotten. In just twenty three years it has slipped from the public mind.
This, alone, tells a lot about our country today.
Sadly true. We have forgotten the feeling when we watched the Twin Towers fall. We have forgotten the men and women who died and the men and women who did not. They got out of a building leaving friends behind. We have forgotten those that walked into the building to help any person they found alive. We have forgotten. It is now old news somewhere way down from Taylor Swift endorsing a candidate. Mary
