Wow, 25 years since 9/11. I did not want to watch the news and the ceremonies; it is still too painful for me. I heard 100 times that we will not forget! Sorry, but we already have. The media tells us that most people don't like the idea that we are in Iran to stop them from getting a nuclear bomb.

On 9/11, almost 3000 people died from an attack on America, and we will never forget; it was a horrendous event of death and destruction. America knew that there was a great deal of hostility in the world, but 99 percent of us could not comprehend such an act on our own people.

So 25 years later, the majority of Americans, according to the media, say we should not take seriously the threat that has been repeated over and over and over: DEATH TO AMERICA! People wake up! If the Iranians had gotten a nuclear bomb, they would have fired it off at America; they killed over 30,000 of their own citizen protesters, more than 10 times more than we lost on the 9/11 attack, just because they wanted peace and freedom.

A large modern warhead detonated over Midtown Manhattan or the Financial District would flatten heavy infrastructure and trigger massive firestorms, resulting in an estimated 1 million to 4.6 million casualties from the initial blast, thermal burns, and radiation.

As an American who has achieved the American dream, I only have a few concerns: continued freedom, food, and taxes I can afford. The only thing that gets in the way of that is possibly being vaporized by an evil maniac, and to be honest, I am old, and I have had a good life, but my children and grandchildren need to be protected. President Trump is working as hard as he can to do that.

Wake up, America, and wake up your neighbors and friends. This election is a big deal, and don't vote based on Trump's personality or other quirks he has; vote for Republicans who will work to save the America that our parents worked to preserve for us. The world needs a strong America; Russia and China want to dominate the world, and that will lead to a painful future for America.
