In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Most powerful nation in the history of mankind and we folded like a cheap suit after some planes flew into some buildings.

It's important to note that a significant cause of our downfall is due to traitors within, including propaganda networks, that took advantage of that incident.

And I was in high school when 9/11 happened too. Watching this all happen in real time has been a pretty sad affair. I don't have much faith left in this nation, nor do I have much patriotism left. I just don't think we've earned a continued democracy. We aren't up to the challenge.
