-Land of the Free
Pandemic Alters 9/11 Anniversary Ceremonies
[Firefighternation.com quoting an Aypee article]
In a year when many events have been called off, "this wasn’t canceled. It’s just been changed in such a way where we still get to pay tribute to our loved ones in a respectful and safe way," said Katsimatides, who’s on the memorial board. She says the change wasn’t motivated by anything except a public health emergency.

'America, you are at the very edge of the precipice': Osama Bin Laden's niece writes letter to the nation saying only President Trump at the helm will help restore prosperity and liberty
[Mail Online]
  • Noor bin Ladin, 33, threw her support behind the US President in a letter

  • 'With President Trump at her helm, America stands a chance of restoring her principles,' she wrote

  • She listed the ways she believed Trump had 'made the world a much safer place'

  • Comes after she revealed she is a long-time Trump supporter in her first ever interview with the New York Post last week

  • Bin Ladin, 33, said Trump 'must be reelected' and claimed another 9/11 could happen if he loses to Joe Biden

  • Bin Ladin was born and lives in Switzerland but claims that she is an 'American at heart' and had a US flag in her childhood bedroom having frequently visited the country with her mother since she was three years old

Sportball: Chiefs called on to raise African American flag in addition to social justice messages
[FoxNews] The Chiefs will have the phrases 'End Racism' and 'It Takes All of Us' in their end zones.

Pat Clarke, who is an activist in the Kansas City, Mo., area, wrote in a letter to the organization that the flag should be raised at Arrowhead Stadium along with the social justice messages in the end zones and the special decals that will be placed on players’ helmets, according to FOX4 KC.

#21  Gee..Look at the packed stadium...

I heard they were going for 1/4 capacity, but it didn't look even that. I hadn't seen so few fans since the Herm Edwards years and I can tell you for a fact that the volume of applause to number of fans was not accurate; that is canned noise.

In fact, there was booing going on during the arm chains formation.

Mind you, this is, or was, an enthusiastic fan base whose team just came off a Super Bowl win and secured for the franchise the most exciting and talented QB in the league, and there are some good ones.

We are some 350 miles from KC and it is still Chiefs Country, with fireworks set off after the Super Bowl Win.

I didn't even know there was a game last night, nevermind KC. Guest showed up, "Watching the game?" "What game? (sincerely)" "Yeah, fvck it."

#22  Oh, and Chiefs/Texans is a rematch from last year's post-season.

Big 12 just went stupid.

#23  They're all on their knees because they are all weak-kneed and spineless. My level of disdain for all of them is pegging the "WTF-ometer".
