Hijab is a choice for Western women. Burdened with a systemic left-wing guilt complex, they don the headscarf in a pandering show of support. For what? The oppression of women. And if you find the urge, Macy’s, Nike, and Banana Republic (irony alert) are selling.

I rigged up a TV in the office – a crowd gathered in silence, staring in horror. Weeping and groans when the second plane hit the Twin Towers…

Fast forward to today, 17 years later, and Mike Rowe (of “Dirty Jobs” fame that lifted up those that do the jobs that most people wouldn’t do but has to be done to keep the wheels spinning in this modern world) levels Nike’s selection of a “hero” Colin Kaepernick by recounting the story of one of the true heroes of 9/11/2001 on board United Flight 93 that stopped the Islamic Jihadis from using yet another aircraft from harming our fellow countrymen (rumors was that it was supposed to hit the White House): Tom Burnett.
