My reflections on the attacks of 9/11 begin with conveying the shock and trauma of that horrible day. One cannot understand with the distance of today how the attack on 9/11 immediately represented a profound strike to the very fiber of American society, a very shock to the idea of normalcy, and a pervasive administering of a sense of imminent threat. It also strangely bored in how alone we the United States, were as a nation. We moved toward responding as a sovereign country, but it was soon apparent how much of the rest of the world was reacting with the concern that the y world in which they had and still lived should resist the change which was inevitable from this attack. Our allies, and even our enemies, sympathized greatly, but…Open

President Trump told reporters he will look into releasing classified records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in the September 11 attacks, a move families of the nearly 3,000 victims have sought from three successive administrations. Trump made the commitment Sunday before boarding Air Force One in Ireland, where he had spent the weekend. The remark came two days after victims' relatives renewed their push for transparency at the 25th-anniversary remembrance ceremony in New York City, directly asking the president to open files that remain sealed a quarter-century after the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. "I'm going to look at it when I get back," Trump told the Associated Press . "I know they asked me…Open

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed up at the 25th anniversary 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero on Friday despite a petition signed by more than 110,000 people, and the families who lost loved ones in the Twin Towers were not shy about telling him he was unwelcome. Mourners at the memorial in Lower Manhattan told Fox News Digital they found the mayor's presence disrespectful and offensive, citing his association with streamer Hasan Piker, who once said America "deserved 9/11", and his appointment of Ramzi Kassem, an attorney who previously represented a Guantánamo detainee linked to an al Qaeda terrorist plot, as his administration's chief counsel.

An off-duty police officer then apprehended the suspect. Uniformed officers arrived roughly five minutes later. Despite the suspect's…Open

Foreign Affairs A New Nobel Prize for War Finally there’s an award that President Trump deserves to win. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) With the Middle East in flames, President Donald Trump’s desperate lobbying campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize looks ever more bizarre. Of course, his claim to have ended and prevented numerous wars is more fantasy than reality. Worse, his surprise bombing of Iran amid negotiations, twice, demonstrated that his goal is anything but peace. Moreover, his proposal for a massive military buildup with no connection to American security suggests he is preparing even more reckless…Open
