Former President George W. Bush (Getty Images) George W. Bush, who was president during 9/11, said Saturday at a service marking 20 years since the attacks that disunity today made him "worried" about the future of the United States. "In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people," Bush said in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the fourth hijacked plane came down. "When it comes to the unity of America, those days seem distant from our own," he continued. "So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear, and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together." Forty people, plus four hijackers, were killed when United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 traveling from Newark to San Francisco, crashed in Shanksville. Passengers fought with the hijackers, stopping them from flying the plane into their intended target, believed to be the Congress bui

We would encourage openness and free discussion of ideas. We would incinerate, after careful review, any subversive and antagonistic idea to the existential survival of Yorùbá Nation, the Yorùbá race and our heritage as expressed through our culture, traditions and cosmological interpretations. We would protect and preserve what is ours by all means. While we encourage civility in all ramifications, we would not be blackmailed into charlatanised patriotism. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.".   -- John F. Kennedy, Jan. 20, 1961 The real struggle to have a date with our destiny as Yorùbá is about to begin. The task to activate the exodus from the Babylonian Nigeria is about to begin. The real march to the promised land of Oòduà Nation is about to take off. The task to shake off the shackle of tyranny is about to commence.

Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and lawyer, wasn't panicked when hijackers took over her flight on  Sept. 11 , 2001, from Washington Dulles airport to  Los Angeles , where she was heading for an appearance on  Bill Maher 's TV show. She managed to call her solicitor general husband, Ted Olson, twice from the back of the plane where the  terrorists , armed with knives and box cutters, herded the passengers. She reported the hijacking aboard American Airlines Flight 77 and asked what she could convey to the captain.  According to the  9/11 Commission report , only Olson and flight attendant Renee May were able to make phone calls to loved ones from the plane before it was crashed into the Pentagon. Twenty years later, Barbara's husband still marvels at her bravery and calm in the final moments of her life. "To this day, I don't know how in the world she managed to do it," said Ted Olson, who received the calls at his Justice Department office in Washin

Speaking at a summit in Yalta in the disputed territory of Crimea on Friday, Zelensky said war was fortunately avoided last time Russia became aggressive with the former Soviet republic. “I think there can be. That’s the case,” he stated. “I think in 2014, it was unfortunately a step forward towards it by the Russian side, and then, thanks God, because of the Ukrainian people they did a step backward. They’ve been stopped.” Zelensky added if an all out war were to occur, it would destroy relations between his country, Russia and mutual neighbor Belarus. He also noted any warfare by the Russians would be the biggest mistake Russian President Vladimir Putin could make. At a meeting between Joe Biden and Zelensky last week, Biden reaffirmed the U.S. commitme
