“Many on the right think the near-acquittal is an indictment of women or of feminism, even though two of the three male jurors also favored acquittal. As I see it, there are several problems with the take by the right and some libertarians here. First, from the fact that Clancy killed her children, they conclude that it’s obvious she should be found guilty and imprisoned for life. This shows no awareness of the complex nature of criminal trials.” (09/12/26)

“To many Americans, al-Qaeda’s brutality seemed to represent both a wake-up call and a challenge. Because they are used to sitting atop the geopolitical hierarchy, Americans don’t necessarily think all that much about what lies beneath. It turns out that the rest of the world hates us, or so many concluded in the wake of 9/11. From that ostensible insight flowed the challenge: Are they right to hate us? Have we whiffed on our global leadership? Are we the tyrannical oppressors of our age? Across the intervening years, those questions have played out in the American consciousness like a bruising taunt heard in childhood that one can never quite forget.” (09/11/26)

“President Trump on Saturday expressed optimism about the reunification of Ireland during a meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin in Dublin. The president, who is visiting his Irish golf course this weekend for a major golf tournament, said he would ‘love’ to see the joining of the Republic of Ireland and the [UK-occupied Six Counties]. … Previous U.S. presidents have typically avoided directly commenting on this contentious issue.” (09/12/26)

“By now, the evidence overwhelmingly establishes that President Franklin Roosevelt wanted the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to take place. He desperately wanted to intervene in the war against Nazi Germany, but he faced a virtually insurmountable obstacle — the American people, most of whom firmly opposed U.S. entry into a second world war. … It would be difficult to say that U.S. officials wanted the 9/11 attacks to happen, given that there is no evidence to support it. But there is also no doubt that U.S. officials persisted in a course of action that they knew was likely to produce a massive terrorist attack on American soil.” (09/11/26)

“Nashville’s airport authority board unanimously voted Friday to begin the process to rename the city’s airport to honor late country music legend and Tennessee icon Dolly Parton. The vote by the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority did not establish a new name for Nashville International Airport, but it begins the process, the board said in a statement. … Parton, beloved by country music fans around the world, died last month at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer, her family said on Aug. 25. … Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee thanked the airport authority board for its action Friday and called the vote an ‘important step to honor her remarkable legacy.'” (09/11/26)

“I have always said that my life began on September 11, 2001. I was three years old at the time, and I was seated in front of the television in my parent’s basement. At this point, I think both towers had been hit. In any case, the news channel played the second plane’s impact over and over again, until my mother, horrified, turned it off. It is my first memory. The attacks that day changed the shape of American life, but only for those who remember them. For those who were too young to know what was happening—or who were not yet born—it is just history. Twenty-five years on, remembrance or nonremembrance is still one of the most useful tools for understanding generational divergence in opinion on the world 9/11 created.” (09/11/26)
