This morning's coffee.... I found this interesting. And surprising. Apparently there are a bunch of people who have no idea Muslims attacked America 25 years ago.

History teachers (and public school) is failing our students.

Yesterday taught us something too.

A surprising number of people did not realize yesterday was the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, and some did not understand why we were posting throughout the day.

So, we are actually very glad we did it.

We posted 34 updates in chronological order, following the timeline from the first plane taking off that morning all the way through President George W. Bush addressing the country that evening.

We had posted early in the morning explaining exactly what we were doing, but clearly not everyone saw it.

Some people thought what we were posting was happening yesterday. Some called it scare tactics. One person called us a “piece of shit.”

Bless your hearts.

We are sorry for the confusion if you did not realize our country was attacked 25 years ago, or if you were not familiar with the history of September 11, 2001.

But hopefully, after following those 34 posts, you now understand a little more about what happened, how quickly that day unfolded, how many lives were lost, and why 9/11 still means so much to so many Americans.

If our posts helped even a few people learn that history, understand the timeline, or realize the significance of the 25th anniversary, then every single post was worth it.

History only stays alive if we keep telling it.

And hopefully yesterday opened a few more eyes to a day our country should never forget.

 

Pondering over coffee.... afternoon coffee break

 

 

 

Tel Aviv — The uncle of twin babies who miraculously survived alone for 14 hours after their parents were slain by Hamas militants in southern Israeli described Friday the agonizing hours of not being able to reach the infants.  

"We woke up to literally hell," said Dvir Rosenfeld, who lived in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, the site of one of the deadliest scenes when Hamas gunmen invaded southern Israel from Gaza in the early morning hours of Oct. 7.

Rosenfeld hid with his wife and child in a shelter. But his sister, Hadar Berdichevsky, was murdered trying to feed her twin boys.

 

Just some random things found on social media and the news to ponder over your morning coffee....

This "fake Indian medical degrees" has been going on for literally at least a decade that I personally have followed.  I'm VERY glad it's coming to light now, but it goes back far.  As a matter of fact, before the purchasing of fake degrees to come to the USA (and the UK, etc) to work, the medical universities there were and are rife with cheating.  While the 'student' is inside the building taking exams, their friends and family stand outside and hold up signs, climb the building to bring cheat sheets, etc. to the window and more.  I saw the coverage on this probably 10-15 years ago.  Now, they just buy the fake degrees outright and come work for the hospital and medical centers treating... you.   Ponder that over your coffee.

According to Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News, Indian and Chinese companies have been manufacturing false diplomas for H-1B visa applicants, and those applicants have used the fake degrees to land high-skilled jobs in the United States. McEnany said, “One former official tells Newsweek that 90 percent of applications from India contain fraudulent documents or involve unqualified applicants. A finance force in India claims it has uncovered a network of universities that produce fake degrees, which were possibly used to obtain these high-skilled H-1B visas, including one school, which allegedly sold over 36,000 fake degrees. It costs as little as $1,400 for one of those.”

She added, “While these are supposed to be high-skilled employees, during almost all of Biden’s time in office, 83% got junior or entry-level positions. And now Texas is taking action — cracking down on those abusing the program.”
