American Sniper and Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle, Speaks to Bill O’Reilly (VIDEO)

One of this country’s best heroes, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, appeared on Bill O’Reilly tonight not only to promote his new book, “American Sniper,” but to tell the tale of his experiences in the Middle East as the most sucessful American sniper, as well as his convictions of his accomplishments. He not only performed so well to save the lives of his fellow military men & women, but also the innocent Iraqi men, women and children, against what he calls (as well as most others do) “savages;” savages who would rape, murder, and torture their fellow countrymen and women in the name of their “god.”


I think Bill O was a bit out of line in his questioning of Kyle, pressing him on his conviction that what he had done was the right thing. In the end, however, Kyle acquitted himself quite well for this interview.

You don’t agree with Kyle? Sucks to be you, but he did what his country asked him to do, and I think he did an out-freaking-STANDING job as a SEAL. America is a safer country because of men like him.

Megyn Kelly Talks With United 93 Hero Mark Bingham’s Mother, Alice Hoagland (VIDEO)

Today on such a solemn occasion, Megyn Kelly was on the air for an extended weekend version of America Live to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. This has to be one of the most poignant and moving segments of any of the shows today, and of course it had to be on the best daytime cable show, Megyn Kelly’s America Live.


Megyn’s guest was Alice Hoagland, who is the mother of Mark Bingham (although the chyron, I believe, incorrectly indicated his name as Matt Bingham), one of the heroes of United flight 93, and she has been one of the most vocal proponents of the heroes of flight 93.

Bingham, along with Jeremy Glick and Todd Beamer, were just 3 of the stalwart patriots who decided to take charge and be the deciders of their own fates. They all knew they were probably going to die, but refused to let it happen on the terrorists’ terms. They recruited as many willing passengers aboard United 93 as they could to gather with them, collect make-shift weapons, and summon the courage and will to rush the terrorists, reclaim the cockpit and control of the airplane, and most likely save the lives of hundreds on the ground in D.C. They did so selflessly, probably knowing all too well their fates were sealed.

Megyn Kelly Speaks to Todd Beamer’s Father About United 93 Heroes (VIDEO)

Recently Megyn Kelly had Todd Beamer’s father, David, on her show to talk about the heroism that Todd and his fellow passengers showed aboard flight United 93 by refusing to succumb to a fate they did not determine. What they did do was to decide to make their own fate by denying the terrorists their want, which was to hit, most likely, the U.S. Capitol, by banding together to fight them and commandeer the plane. They knew regardless of their decisions, they were all going to die, but thanks to folks like Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Jeremy Glick and others, they did what needed to be done – they made sure to deny the Islamofascists their intended target, knowing they would all die in the process, as the plane descended at over 500 MPH into that field in Shanksville, PA. They were truly the first American fighers to engage in the battle in the global war on terror against Islamo-fascists and will always be remembered as such.


Note: You hear David Beamer talk about saying the Pledge of Allegiance and it sounds a bit disconnected, but his appearance on America Live came directly after Megyn’s previous segment on the Brookline MA controvery over elementary school children saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

BREAKING NEWS: Osama bin Laden is Dead – U.S. Has Body

h/t HotAir:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama is making a late-night statement but is not announcing the topic that he will discuss.

Officials say the statement could come as early as 10:30 p.m. EDT.

It is highly unusual that the president would make a late-night statement with not even a hint about what he would discuss.

Details are still coming out…stay tuned.

***UPDATE 10:58 PM ET***

Via ABC News:

Osama bin Laden, hunted as the mastermind behind the worst-ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed, sources told ABC News.

His death brings to an end a tumultuous life that saw bin Laden go from being the carefree son of a Saudi billionaire, to terrorist leader and the most wanted man in the world.

Bin Laden created and funded the al Qaeda terror network, which was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The Saudi exile had been a man on the run since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan overthrew the ruling Taliban regime, which harbored bin Laden.

In a video filmed two months after the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden gloated about the attack, saying it had exceeded even his “optimistic” calculations.

Uncomfortably Numb, Re-Awakened Anew: A Re-Post

EDITOR’S NOTE 9/12/10: This was originally posted in 2006, after I saw the newly-released “United 93” movie. I thought there would be no better day than today to re-post this item upon reflection of the events of this past Saturday and all the memorials. I feel like perhaps we may be waking up again, but I’m not sure. I just hope we can all find it in ourselves to say once again…”Let’s roll.”

ORIGINAL POST:

I’ve been sitting here for the past hour and a half wondering what to write, if I could write, or if I should write. I know that the topic du jour is illegal immigration, and in some ways, what I feel right now makes that issue even more important and relevant.

I went tonight to the 7PM showing of “United 93” at a local theater. I wanted my friend and I to beat the evening after-dinner crowd, because I knew I would need a while to decompress afterwards, even before I saw the film.
