Joe’s 9/11 snub
Lately, the White Home defined that the president will journey to Alaska to mark the somber event of 9/11 after his Sept. 10 journey to Hanoi, Vietnam, the place he’ll meet with Vietnamese leaders (“Give us a ‘break,’ ” Sept. 4).
Will probably be the primary time {that a} president has not attended any of the observances which were held yearly in New York Metropolis, Pennsylvania, Virginia or on the White Home.
9/11 was one of many worst occasions in our nation’s historical past.
The choice to forgo the standard observance on the assault websites or the White Home raises considerations in regards to the administration’s priorities.
It’s important to prioritize commemorating the heroes and victims of 9/11 above all else on this present day of remembrance.
Many People discover it disheartening that the main target seems to have shifted away from honoring the reminiscence of those that perished, and that the attention of 9/11 is receding.
It was a terrorist assault towards our nation, and all people ought to keep in mind it, take each precaution, be careful vigilantly and hope it by no means occurs once more.

Tree tragedy
“Inexperienced thumbs” actually hit dwelling with me as an East Village resident (Chadwick Moore, PostScript, Sept. 4).
Stunning East River Park is being destroyed with a thousand 75-year-old timber already savagely minimize down below a Metropolis Council decree within the identify of flood mitigation.
There was a plan permitted after many public hearings to construct an eight-foot wall between the park and FDR Drive.
A number of months later, a brand new plan (costing thrice the worth of the unique one) was shortly put into motion calling for cementing over all of the grassy and flower-filled areas, in addition to slicing down all of the timber.
There was an enormous neighborhood outcry whereas the town denied there was any “unique” plan.
The residents needed to activate a Freedom of Info Regulation request to show that there was certainly an unique plan.
Too late, sadly.
A lot for the Million Bushes NYC program.
It can take greater than 75 years to completely substitute our park and people magnificent timber.

Don’t look now, however the loopy liberals who occupy positions of authority are beginning to masks up once more, conveniently timed for the election yr of 2024 (“Use that masks to gag Fauci,” Miranda Devine, Sept. 7).
These individuals actually misplaced no matter sanity they’d left after Donald Trump was elected president.
They’ll say, “You should put on a masks indoors and while you’re round others.”
After which they’ll say, “If you wish to be a part of regular on a regular basis society, you need to get the fifth, sixth or seventh vaccination.”
Overlook absolutely the undeniable fact that neither of those so-called precautions do something to stop you from getting COVID.
It doesn’t matter to them, as a result of their true motives don’t have anything to do with COVID and the whole lot to do with manipulating the upcoming elections.
