Op-ed: 
Remembering 9/11...25-Years Later
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor
This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

Today we remember the worst terrorist attack ever perpetrated upon American soil. Today we honor the over 3,000 innocent lives lost. Today we also honor America's first responders...our brave police officers, fire fighters, our military, and ordinary citizens...the heroes who ran into danger not away from it. And today we must also honor New York City's then Mayor Rudy Giuliani...forever "America's Mayor"...for his leadership in helping to unitie us all together as not only New Yorkers, but with those killed at Shanksville PA, and at the Pentagon on that ever fateful day.
 
Today I put politics aside...today I truly hope bipartisanship shows who we, as Americans, really are...a people united together as one...for at least this one day.
 
Never must we Forgive...Never must we Forget...for if we do it surely will happen again. Today my thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, their friends, and with my beloved America...may she forever remain the "Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave." 
 
And as I post every 9/11, here is my photo album: The True Horror of 9/11 / Declassified 9/11 Photos, and the one time only played Budweiser Clydesdales commercial that I consider in its simplicity to be one of the greatest 9/11 tributes ever.. 
 
May God Bless America today, tomorrow, and always.

Op-ed:
Catering to Terrorists...Again
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google. 

This decision by
the Biden-Harris Department of Justice to cut a deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called "principal architect" of the al Qaeda attacks of 9/11, along with his two co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi is, in my opinion, the most horrific decision ever made by this or any administration...in fact iit makes Obama's "5 for 1 Taliban Trade" pale in comparison! 
 
These murdering________(fill in the word of your own choosing) get to live out their miserable lives in the 'GITMO Country Club' courtesy of our TAXPAYER dollars while the victims families see NO justice for their loved ones lost, while at the same time there is NO 'Resting in Peace' for the victims themselves for justice has NOT been served. 
 
And to those saying the Biden administration had no hand in this I say 'no way' for decisions of this magnitude do run through the White House. Also in my opinion,, this deal reeks of Obama having had some hand in it as well. Am I angry...you bet I am for this again catering to terrorists 'deal' is for me as all consuming in some ways as the events of 9/11 were. 

I'll have a lot more to say about this as information becomes available.

Op-ed:
Who's Really Running The Show
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
 
Last week in my article
Calling For Unity While Spreading Hate, I asked the compound question why with the word “MAGA” simply being an acronym for the words “Making America Great Again,” why has that solely become the property of we Republicans and Conservatives, and why aren't there any Democrats who want America to be great? And this got me to thinking that the answer to both parts of said question can be summed up in but three words...Barack HUSSEIN Obama. And why Obama...
because his racially focused presidency marked the final demise of unity that the events of September 11th brought to our country
.

Remember how on that most horrific of days a common enemy united us together as one American people...no hyphens needed...and how we of all skin colors joined hands while crying tears of red, white, and blue. Remember how on that day we put politics aside as we tried to make sense of what was our collective nightmare and grief. Remember American flags proudly flying from “sea to shining sea” in a show of solidarity, and how at the time the Patriot Act seemed the logical next step in helping to ensure America's future safety.

Remember it all, and especially how time itself helped erode away the camaraderie “We the People” had once felt as the physical distance between that fateful day in September, while not forgotten, morphed, as most events do, into both complacency and a rightful distrust of new government rules that had supposedly been put into place to help keep us all safe...safe from terrorists that is.

And so with time the Patriot Act...the very act that once enacted “enhanced the abilities of law enforcement regarding surveillance, money laundering for terrorism financing, and improved intelligence sharing between government agencies”... started to crumble as we realized that not only was said act asking American citizens to give up certain all important civil rights...like our Constitutionally given right to privacy...but was deemed by many to do so most especially for “people of color.” How so...because the act as written allowed for the definition of “terrorism” to be expanded and for law enforcement...including the FBI and DOJ...to use its new “authorities” given in more instances, including in cases of drug enforcement and being able to “surveil” political activists more closely...read black political activists here.

And so in a way a new generation of black “activism” was born from the Patriot Act's then deemed abuse of power, thus allowing certain black “activists” who were once considered to be but a “fringe element” to now become mainstream. And in said “black fringe” doing so...and note I say “fringe” and not all black folks...they were given a voice to basically spread their agenda of hate...white is bad, black is good, whitey owes us, pay up or trouble is on the horizon.

Simply, both the unity and colorblindness seen on 9/11 was now gone as all things American, according to the newly voiced “black fringe,” had an anti-black racial component and scenario behind it. And in my opinion this new mindset all came to a head when in March 2012 then President Barack HUSSEIN Obama uttered ten simple words, “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.”

And with those words spoken not only did Obama give a wink and a nod to groups like BLM, but he helped to reignite all the old racial hatreds...hatreds that had for the most part healed over...as he set into motion the downfall of both common sense and the rule of law that is our Constitution by his replacing both with a cleverly crafted, racial divide. And why...because no president, in my opinion, has ever hated all that America stands for than the man who refused then and still refuses now to accept his white half...still refuses to accept the fact that he's mixed race not black. The great pretender now exposed...not white enough to pass...just dark enough to fool white bleeding heart liberals back in 2008 that a vote for him would help end racism in America. Translation: we should vote for him solely based upon his chosen skin color in order to fix past wrongs...his lack of presidential qualifications be damned.

And with Obama's presidency the media made us out to be a nation mired so deep in both racial hatred and distrust that with time the blame game came full circle to land at “We the People's” feet. And while we are a nation who no longer seems to be at war with those who are freedom's true enemies...outsiders like those who slammed passenger jets into buildings and those who knowingly enter our country illegally...we have allowed a fool...on Obama's orders...to declare that we are at war with those we share a common nationality with...a war with ourselves if you will...a combined political and race war helping to drive forward Obama's “fundamental transformation” of America...a transformation that goes deeper than mere surface appearance and deeper than any words spewed by the afore mentioned fool.

Yes, we white “MAGA Republicans” have indeed been declared the “enemy” by the fool of a man the puppet master easily controls, but the consequences of such a declaration are as of yet untold for when a nation's politics forces its people to turn upon itself...turn upon its societal norms, morals, values, and ideals...that nation is doomed in the end to fail...fail while eyes once opened to the truth now remain tightly shut. That sadly is where we as a country are today as can be seen by those who try to take the lessons learned and camaraderie shown 21 years ago and twist them to turn the events of January 6th into this generation's political and racial Armageddon.

And while today's Democrats relish in comparing the two events, no matter that the former has nothing to do with the later, they prove yet again that lessons once learned can easily be both media and politically manipulated so as to be forgotten. September 11th united our nation and the sum of our people together...January 6th divided us via what has become both a politically motivated, racially driven, and personally targeted agenda against not only one man in particular but against the sum total of we white “MAGA Republicans.” And so the collective commonalities we once shared have been turned into but compartmentalized, racially driven, spewed out hate.

And it all goes back to the Obama presidency and its constant race baiting...America's house deliberately being divided against itself...which culminated with those ten hateful words that put one's skin color paramount above all else. And this, sadly, laid the ground floor for all that has come after.

How so? After the Trayvon Martin incident, so-called “social justice” became more important to Obama and his socialist agenda than both criminal justice and Constitutional law. Working with what was malice intended, Obama tried hard to fray the ties that bind us together as Americans, as he willingly chose to rip us apart along racial and party lines. And so race became his ground zero from which all the hateful partisan rhetoric could then emanate from, and which it sadly still does today.

And once Obama unlocked Pandora's Box of what had become but toned down racial rhetoric, he then started spewing out a liturgy of false claims that America now remains an “inherently racist nation” with a judicial and law enforcement system that was knowingly biased against people “of color.” And when crime rates slowly, albeit steadily, started to rise under what was Obama's “pen and phone” presidency, he helped shift the blame off black career criminals by making criminals out of those whose job it is to actually enforce our criminal laws. Laying the foundation for the BLM initiated “Defund the Police” movement, what Obama did as president was not unlike what the Patriot Act tried to do but ultimately failed in doing, as in overstepping the bounds of executive power as laid out in the Constitution.

And from the now skin color driven foundation set by Obama...the man who abused both the presidential office itself along with the power said office afforded him...we bore witness to not only racial hatred becoming the accepted one-sided new norm, but to the rewriting of American history to help fit and push forward an agenda designed to “transform” our nation into one unrecognizable to half of we American citizens. And said “transformation” was to be more in line with an authoritarian regime than even the left's falsely claimed “democracy” could ever be.

One man to rule over us all even if said man must at times hide within the shadows...one man who believed his race alone was what denied him his Constitution be damned, so craved third term in office...a man forced by Hillary's loss to now have to pull the strings of one who is but a fool...an ever dangerous fool who believes himself to be invincible while our country both at home and abroad crashes down around him. But what is now the saddest of all is that it's “We the People”...the very ones the string pulled fool took an oath to serve and protect...who have become but collateral damage at best.

Simply asked...have we now become a nation of such weaklings that we are too afraid to fight back...have we acquiesced and become too accepting of the one we know is actually running the show? Or does our collective fear of being deemed racist unknowingly...at least on the surface...keep us in line to some degree for to be deemed a racist translates into others seeing us and treating us as bigoted, hateful, political ideologues...a characterization that plays well into Obama's socialist transforming of our beloved America.

So while our beloved America still appears to no longer be safe from either the enemies who live outside our borders...9/11 proved that...nor from domestic enemies who actually live amongst us...enemies called not by the fool who recently labeled “MAGA Republicans” as a threat to our (erroneously stated) democracy, but by the man who refused to relinquish the power he craved when his time in office was up. Barack HUSSEIN Obama remains that man...a man who continues to play the “race card” every chance he gets, and who will stop at nothing to claim what he considers to be his wrongly denied third term in office even if it means reigniting the now simmering racial color divide. Remember, this is a man who will sell America out for a few rubles or yuan if it helps his “fundamental transformation” of America reach its final fruition. 

And let's not forget that fools can easily be thrown aside...devils in disguise not so easily done so. Case closed.

Op-ed:
Never Forget, Never Forgive
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

...And yet in my heart of hearts I still do believe that America will never truly be brought to her knees...she might stumble and fall a bit as we sadly are now bearing witness to...yet the fact remains that America will indeed survive because America must survive. And survive we will not just for us, the generation who lived the nightmare that was 9/11, but for future generations as well...that is as long as we put partisan politics and old hatreds aside and unite together to collectively become as one..."We the American People."...

Op-ed:
Never Forget, Never Forgive

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

It's been 20 years...almost a generation...and yet to me and many others it seems just like yesterday.

And so as we approach this most sacred and solemn of days we now sadly see hovering over our country a fear that this horror might well be repeated. And while I and so many others still cry and pray for both dear friends and family lost and even for those we didn't personally know, September 11, 2001 will always remain the day America's heart was pierced as buildings fell, a plane crashed in a field, and we as Americans came together to collectively mourn. And mourn we did not only for those lost but for our country as well...for our beloved America was now and forever changed in the span of just one single day...a day when we saw and felt camaraderie... a day that now sadly finds us again being divided.

And for those of us who were forced by circumstances to suddenly grow up and leave childhood behind...for those of us who actually tasted the all-powerful and forever lingering smell of death...and even for those of us who were personally untouched by an event that should not ever have been…we all have ingrained within our consciousness images that haunt...images once unimaginable of destruction and death here on American soil...destruction and death that mingled together the blood of our fellow countrymen…images that have now become, for some, but a sad reminder of the evils that men do while believing their misplaced cause is both just and righteous.

But there are also images remembered of true heroes born...like Todd Beamer and his fellow passengers who turned two simple words, "Let's Roll," into our nation’s then newest battle cry...as well as images of true warriors lost...60 brave men and women in blue, 12 brave paramedics, and 343 brave firefighters including Father Michael Fallon Judge, the chaplain of the NYFD who passed away while tending to the wounded and dying...heroes and warriors gone in the mere blink of an eye.

And September 11th should always be remembered as the day when "hyphens" were dropped and "Old Glory" could be seen flying proudly everywhere across this great land as Americans came together to unite and stand undivided as one...Democrat, Republican, Christian, Jew, white, black, brown, yellow, red, and police blue...all joined together...all sharing the same sadness and pain. Yet now that feeling seems lost even though the happenings at "Ground Zero" in New York City, the Pentagon complex, and at a vacant field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania should remain sacred American holy grounds that forever help keep us all united in God’s embrace. 

For how could those sacred grounds not be a uniting force when in their rich soil rests the souls of the 2,973 innocent victims...innocent victims who in their own right are heroes all…heroes who awoke so full of life and promise on a beautiful sunny and warm September day...yet 2,973 innocents destined by fate never to return home... never again to kiss their husbands and wives...never again to hold their sons and daughters or play with their grandchildren...mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and dear friends…2,973 innocent victims never to be forgotten by those they left behind…innocent victims now safe for all eternity never to be hurt again.

And as we approach another September 11th, know that we are embattled not just with enemies in far off lands, but with enemies within our own country as well...enemies who we are sadly allowing to not just take away our hopes and dreams, but our memories of that fateful and cruel September day. 
 
And it's these very enemies within, via our misguided complacency, that have allowed our children's future to be selectively targeted with their erasing of America's past...9/11 most surely to be included. And without memories of our nation's past...ugly as some of those memories might be...we as a nation cannot truly become what we were destined by our Forefathers to be, for when American flags and statutes are ordered to be taken down, when the roll call of victims names is discouraged...9/11 victims, Benghazi victims, and those of our recently lost military heroes as well...9/11 becomes just another day in the calendar, and that is something we cannot nor must not allow to happen.

And with the "Freedom Tower" now reaching up to touch the sky where the "World Trade Center" once stood, a simple message in concrete and steel still tells the world that not only did America come back from the ashes...but that the spirit of camaraderie felt on that fateful day can once again be ignited within us...but only if we allow it to be.

And yet in my heart of hearts I still do believe that America will never truly be brought to her knees...she might stumble and fall a bit as we sadly are now bearing witness to...yet the fact remains that America will indeed survive because America must survive. And survive we will not just for us, the generation who lived the nightmare that was 9/11, but for future generations as well...that is as long as we put partisan politics and old hatreds aside and unite together to collectively become as one..."We the American People." 
 
And the kinship of being one with America should be the main lesson learned from a sunny September day so many years ago...a day when the "spirit of survival" itself along with pride in our country was awoken in everyday Americans...Americans from all walks of life...Americans of every color and creed...the "spirit of survival" that must not now nor ever be taken away from "We the People' no matter what evils befall us, for by taking away that "spirit" you've taken away our country's very reason for being.

And so when we gather together to remember and honor the 2,973 victims of 9/11, let's also remember and honor the four victims of another 9/11... Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and ex-Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods...four brave men who, too, made the ultimate sacrifice in a nightmare called Benghazi. And we should also honor the thirteen heroes who recently made their final journey home in caskets draped in American flags, for their sacrifice was made in Afghanistan, the very land where 9/11 actually began.

2,973 heroes, plus four, and now plus thirteen more. God Bless them all for they're finally "home" to be forever safe in "His" arms...never to be hurt again…never to be forgotten...always to be honored and to live on in our hearts...for by us honoring them...by us remembering them...both their memories and their life's history will live on.

And so I leave you with this, my prayer of sorts, "May God the Father bless our beloved America today, tomorrow, and always. And may our tears for those lost never stop flowing for to forget their sacrifice or to just relegate it to a place in our nation's history we no longer visit makes us no better than the uncivilized sorts who are the true enemies of freedom." And to that I say "Amen."

For those who have sadly forgotten the true horrors of 9/11, this video '9/11: Ground Zero Underworld' shows not only the nightmare itself, but the personal side of the heroes who searched and died below Ground Zero in the immediate aftermath of the day that changed America forever.

This video from the History Channel gives a visual timeline of the most horrific event in our nation's history. 

And lastly, below is what I consider to be the most powerful and memorable 9/11 commemorative commercial ever made...officially only run once...rightfully replayed via the internet countless times.
