It is the Sad Anniversary of 9/11 and we are Still in Free Fall

We never really dealt with Islam ... NOT A RELIGION OF PEACE! It is the religion of submission and terror. It was created by a violent, illiterate peadophile. It's followers have carried their backward faith from the dark ages with violent terror into the 21st Century.
Now we have added terrorists in our midst in the form of BLM and Antifa!

It was nice to see a sport where the Professional Athletes are not "taking a knee"

What do you expect when the Thoroughbreds that ran in the Kentucky Derby are smarter than the dumb pro-athletes in other sports.
The race was run well, with the best horse, Authentic, trained by Bob Baffert, winning the Roses.
Almost no fans at Churchill Downs in the Chinese Virus year.
This was a rare change in schedule and rotation of the races for the Triple Crown, but it has happened in the past. It was eerie not see and hear the thousands of fans, but it was heartening to see Baffert mostly defying the absurd mask rules as thousands of ignoramus Black Lies protesters tramped about outside Churchill Downs, in close contact, with much greater chances of infecting each other with the Chinese Virus.
It was a shame that not all the BLM tomfoolery was outside the track. Necker Island was a black owned and trained horse entered in the Derby. Care had to be taken in pronouncing the horse's name. NBC made a big point of showcasing this horse, owners and trainer. The trainer, Chris Hartman, made a fool of himself by explicitly stating how he was in full support and sympathy with BLM. That was interesting to hear, because BLM called on them as black owners and trainer to boycott the "Whitey Derby".
NBC continued its own sycophancy by making a point of how some, very few, jockeys were wearing political protest arm bands.
In spite of the television reporting bias and the sad lack of fans, the race was a joy to watch for Thoroughbred enthusiasts.
