My late father loved Americans, as I do. I could hear his voice yesterday, stilled 15 years ago next month, as surely as if he were in the car beside me. “Fuck ’em,” he would have said. “Nuke ’em.”

Made king of the world, he already would have bombed any nation, and the lair of any group, that had ever done anything to aid or abet Osama bin Laden, the Palestine Liberation Organization or any of the other Islamic terrorist groups.

-- "President Joe Biden will not address the nation on September 11th to mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks the White House confirmed Thursday." --
Joe's going with a canned message instead of a live appearance. No big deal, right? 

Well... you be the judge...
-- “We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion,” Biden said in a prerecorded video published for the occasion." --
