Were you involved in working the 9/11 WTC grounds, or nearby? If so, thank you for your bravery and life-saving work. (And even if not, thank you for your bravery anyway. Good thing you're not a NY cop these days, huh, under DeBlasio!)

Iran has been vowing to destroy Israel for decades. They have been attacking and slaughtering innocent Israelis for decades via their Hezbollah and Hamas terror arms. This is nothing new for the Israeli people. A bunch of delusional Islamic nutjobs screeching their impotent rage is something the Israelis are used to.

Someone told him it could be worth votes in texas and he went for it.

Basically trump committed an act of terror, no better than our adversaries. He has leveled the playing field and lost the moral high ground. He made a martyr for the iranians and strengthened the hardliners position in that god-forsaken country. He handed the mullahs a gift that keeps on giving.

Yes. I was working election duty when the towers were stuck. The next day I was assigned down there. The ash was 3 inches think all over the place. I also did patrol. I spent about 100 hours over several months down there. I retired just before DeBlasio was elected. All my friends are miserable and can't wait to retire!

Take care.

I lost a friend who was a volunteer Fire Fighter from Spotswood this past year(worked on the pile). A young man who I coached in youth sports. Ex-Mayor of Spotswood. Sad loss for me and my family.

My best man a SDNY worker also is very ill after spending time on the pile. I worry that I may lose him this year.

Get checked regularly.

Hate Hate Hate. You hate but I don't. Hate stops you from sound decisions.

And I see you're blaming Trump. Any blame for the Islamic terrorists who might attack Israel? Should he have just sat by and let this monstrous Islamic terrorist continue to plot against America, killing hundreds of Americans and aiming for more?

Obama was a fool, or an enabler, to pen a deal with a state sponsor of terror in which they promise not to build nuclear weapon - for a while, anyway - and not insist on anytime, anywhere inspections.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you wanted the US out of the agreement, now you’re complaining that Israel has been put in danger, and here I thought sanctions would bring Iran to its knees. Stop whining you got what you wanted.

And it is still equally treasonous to have discussed this with Israel before Congress as it was to have discussed this at Mar al Lago for insider trading purposes.

What treaties?
