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.

God bless Alice Hoagland and all the families of those lost that day, but particularly the friends and families of those first warriors of the 21st Century, specifically in the Global War on Terror who decided to fight back against all odds.

As is said in John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Indeed.

Raid on On Osama’s Compound First Reported on Twitter

Drudge didn’t have it first. CNN didn’t have it first. Fox News didn’t have it first. Who was the first to report on the raid on the Pakistani compound where Osama bin Laden was sent to take his eternal celestial dirt nap? A local IT consultant did, that’s who. The story broke as Sohab Athar, the IT consultant who was living in Abbottabad, Tweeted about helicopters swarming overhead and a “window-shaking bang” at around 9pm last night.

Here’s the rest from the UK Daily Record:

Mr Athar, believed to be living near to bin Laden’s compound, wrote his first tweet at about 9pm last night, when he noticed a helicopter.

He then wrote: “A huge window-shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope it’s not the start of something nasty.”
He later added: “Since Taliban (probably) don’t have helicopters, and since they’re saying it was not ‘ours’, so must be a complicated situation.”

The realisation hit him at about 6am today as he wrote: “Uh oh, now I’m the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.”
Under his username ReallyVirtual, he later added: “Interesting, I didn’t think my name would trend on Twitter before releasing a couple of rock albums and a few award-winning software.”

I wonder how long it will take before @ReallyVirtual eclipses Lady Gaga in number of followers.

Oh, and it can’t be said enough…. I LOVE ME SOME NAVY SEALS!

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.

“Our terrorism is against America. Our terrorism is a blessed terrorism to prevent the unjust person from committing injustice and to stop American support for Israel, which kills our sons,” he said in the video.

Further updates coming, for sure.

***UPDATE 11:10 PM ET***

CNN is reporting that UBL was killed in a mansion in Islamabad, Pakistan. DNA samples obtained from blood relatives allegedly confirm the identity of the person killed in that strike on the mansion in Islamabad.

Beck & Sarah Carter on the Continued Terrorist Threat & Obama’s Middle East Trip (VIDEO)

Today on Beck, Sarah Carter of the Washington Times was on to discuss a tape the Times has of a terrorist recruiter, Abdullah al Nafisi, who calls for attacks on the U.S. via tunnels (at our southern border) that would make 9/11 look like a picnic. Al Nafisi also reportedly says there are 300,000 “white supremacists” in America that they would be willing to team up with.

Nice.

New Raw Footage of WTC Attacks Filmed by Students in High-Rise Dorm (VIDEO)

I saw this video segment in the History Channel special “102 Minutes That Changed America,” and Sky News today released it as a stand-alone video. It’s very graphic, powerful, but I feel it’s something that we must ALL see again, because we can never forget. We’re all going on about with our lives, thinking the economy is our only problem. What better time for them to strike again?

If you missed this special on TV, you must visit the site and view the interactive map and videos, including the one above. You can see it all here.

We can never let our guard down, and we must stay focused on the very real threat that remains – radical Islamofascist terrorism and their quest for Jihad.

This video also makes me ask the question again…. just why exactly are we closing Gitmo???
