FACT CHECK: Biden just LIED about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11 happened



Yesterday, on the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, Joe Biden visited Alaska. Why? Apparently, that’s just where he chose to commemorate the day.

It makes no sense whatsoever, especially when you consider that the site of the tragedy is on the opposite side of the country. But who can possibly understand the logic of Grandpa Joe?

To make matters worse, Biden lied at the commemoration ceremony.

“Ground Zero, New York. ... I remember standing there the next day,” he mumbles. “I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell.”

*insert loud, annoying buzzer sound*

WRONG.

He was not at Ground Zero the day after 9/11 took place, and there are “so many ways to prove it,” says Keith Malinek.

On September 12, 2001, “[Biden] was in Washington, D.C., doing the Senate vote, then they had a Senate meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon, [and] then he was doing 'Charlie Rose' that night,” explains Pat, who can’t get over what a “stinking liar” Biden is.

“He can’t tell the truth — it’s impossible,” he says in utter disbelief.

What’s perhaps even more frustrating is that Biden did visit Ground Zero on September 20, 2001— only nine days after the tragedy. So why can’t he just tell the truth?

Whether it’s intense senility or a pathological lying condition that’s got Biden’s facts mixed up, the point is he’s unfit for the role in which he serves.

Do YOU still believe THIS about America 22 years after 9/11?



Twenty-two years ago today, United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, while United Airlines Flight 93 crash-landed in Pennsylvania after passengers' heroic attempt to overtake control from the hijackers.

In all, 2,997 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks whom we still remember and mourn today.

And as many Americans do, Glenn Beck remembers the attacks well.

After the planes hit the towers and our world was thrown into complete disarray, Glenn penned an essay called “The Greatest American Generation.”

However, after re-reading it this past weekend, he’s been left wondering how much of what he wrote then remains true today.

“The question is not if this is the greatest American generation; the question is: will we wake up and become it,” Glenn recalls writing.

While he saw in his grandparents a true, hard-working, American spirit, he believed even back in 2001 it had already been weakening on a much larger scale.

“It hasn’t died out; we’ve just not attended to it. It’s a flame that flickers in all of us, and it is there ready to blaze again to life when we’re ready to face the challenges that now lie at our feet. It’s what sets us apart; it’s what built this country,” he reads.

While the attacks should serve as a reminder of what we fight for, Glenn believes many Americans have become complacent.

“Twenty-two years ago, we were lucky enough not to be trapped in one of those towers or on a plane or in the Pentagon. When is the last time you gave thanks for the last 20 years? Not for our lives, for the ability to have more time to change our ways. God has not forsaken us,” Glenn says.

“I wrote at the time, ‘Americans aren’t ever going to scatter,’” Glenn continues. "'Let the world recognize through our actions today that those firefighters in New York are not the exception, they are the rule. Because Americans don’t run from burning buildings, we run into them.'"

“Is that still true?” he asks.

Peter Doocy reveals jaw-dropping response from WH official on why Biden skipped traditional 9/11 memorials



Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy revealed late Sunday the eyebrow-raising analogy a White House official used when asked why President Joe Biden is skipping traditional 9/11 memorial services.

As president, Biden has marked the 9/11 anniversary by visiting the sites hit by the hijacked planes in 2001. Last year, he spoke from the Pentagon. In 2021, he visited all three sites: Ground Zero in New York City, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

But this year, he will be speaking from a military base in Anchorage, Alaska, following a trip to Asia.

Reporting from Vietnam, Doocy explained that he contacted White House officials about the president's unusual 9/11 plans. That official, whom Doocy did not name, offered a strange analogy in response.

"When I asked a White House official why it is that President Biden was here [in Vietnam] and missing the 9/11 commemorations at the attack sites, the analogy that I was given is: 22 years after Pearl Harbor, U.S. presidents were not still going to visit Hawaii," Doocy said.

It is the first time a sitting president will not visit one of the three crash sites on the anniversary of the attacks, Newsweek noted.

Instead, Vice President Kamala Harris commemorated the 9/11 anniversary at the September 11th Memorial in New York City. First lady Jill Biden attended a ceremony at the Pentagon memorial, and second gentleman Doug Emhoff was sent to lay a wreath in Shanksville.

Funny enough, the White House tried to spin the deviation from presidential tradition, and MSNBC was happy to pass it along.

"The fact that the president is going to be speaking at a military base in Alaska in particular, I'm told, is meant to send this message: that so many people after 9/11 were inspired to join the Armed Forces and that that is a ripple that isn't always talked about as much," MSNBC reporter Monica Alba said on Monday. "So that's something the White House wants to honor today."

Golf star, who earned 9-figure deal to join Saudi-backed LIV Golf, says 9/11 families should forgive Saudi Arabia



Golf star Bryson DeChambeau suggested this week that the families of 9/11 victims should forgive Saudi Arabia.

What is the background?

After the PGA Tour and LIV Golf announced a merger, an organization representing the families of 9/11 victims — 9/11 Families United — blasted the PGA and tour commissioner Jay Monahan.

"[T]he PGA and Monahan appear to have become just more paid Saudi shills, taking billions of dollars to cleanse the Saudi reputation so that Americans and the world will forget how the Kingdom spent their billions of dollars before 9/11 to fund terrorism, spread their vitriolic hatred of Americans, and finance al Qaeda and the murder of our loved ones," said organization chairwoman Terry Strada.

"PGA Tour leaders should be ashamed of their hypocrisy and greed," she added. "Our entire 9/11 community has been betrayed by Commissioner Monahan and the PGA as it appears their concern for our loved ones was merely window-dressing in their quest for money — it was never to honor the great game of golf."

The merger is controversial for several reasons, politically and otherwise.

But the 9/11 families are upset because LIV Golf is backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. The fund is controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

What did DeChambeau say?

Speaking on CNN, DeChambeau expressed sympathy for the 9/11 families — but suggested now is the time for them to forgive.
"I think we'll never be able to repay the families back for what exactly happened just over 20 years ago. And what happened is definitely horrible," he said. "And I think as time has gone on, 20 years has passed, and we're in a place now, where it's time to start trying to work together to make things better together as a whole.
"I have deep sympathy. I don't know exactly what they are feeling. I can't ever know what they feel," he continued.
"I think as we move forward from that, we've got to look toward the pathway to peace, especially in forgiveness, especially if we're trying to mend the world and make it a better place," he went on to say. "I think this is what they're trying to accomplish, LIV is trying to accomplish, the [Saudi Public Investment Fund] is trying to accomplish. We're all trying to accomplish is a better world for everybody."

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins pushed back, noting Saudi Arabia's history of human rights abuses and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But DeChambeau defended Saudi Arabia.
"[W]hat I can say is that what they're trying to do, what they're trying to work on, is to be better allies because we are allies with them," he said.

"Look, I'm not going to get into politics of it. I'm not specialized in that," he added. "But what I can say is they are trying to do good for the world and showcase themselves in a light that hasn't been seen in a while. And nobody's perfect. But we're all trying to improve in life."
DeChambeau reportedly received more than $125 million to join LIV Golf last year.

Florida burglars call 911 in middle of crime asking police for ride to airport, help 'moving their belongings'



Florida police arrested two people, one man and one woman, on Saturday after they called police for help while allegedly burglarizing a home.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office said 911 dispatchers received a call from an area residence on Dec. 31. When the call was answered, nobody spoke. Still, sheriff's deputies responded to the residence and, upon arrival, discovered one of the doors was "unsecured."

Deputies then entered the residence, where they found the man, whom police identified as "Martin," and his girlfriend, whom police identified as "Liz." Police said neither person had "ties" to the residence.

Once in custody, Liz made a shocking admission. She told police she was the unresponsive 911 caller, admitting she called because they wanted police assistance moving items from the house and a ride to the airport.

"[Liz] said she called 911 for the purpose of having law enforcement assist her and Martin with moving their belongings from the house (the one they were burglarizing), and they were trying to get a ride to the airport, because they wanted to go to New York for the weekend," the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

"Deputies DID help them with their belongings, and DID give them a ride, but it wasn’t to the airport…it was to the Polk Pokey," the statement added. "And they are welcome to stay there all weekend long. The Polk Pokey is much better than New York anyway."

Police said that Martin was a suspect in a theft at a local Dollar General earlier in the day. Upon his arrest, Martin was charged with theft and two counts of burglary. Liz was charged with one count of burglary.

Martin later admitted to the crimes, but told police he needed the money and a warm place to stay.

"Post Miranda, Martin stated on a recorded statement he did commit the burglary at the Dollar General because he needed to get items to sell it to make money," an arrest affidavit said, WTVT-TV reported. "Martin stated he knew what he did was wrong, but needed the money. Martin stated he knew the residence was not his and did not have permission to be in, but had to get inside to get out of the cold."

In additional to their burglary charges, the couple is also facing drug charges.
