This Day in Liberal Judicial Activism—September 11

Two solemn anniversaries and the cancer of political violence

Twenty-five years ago this week, jihadi terrorists hijacked commercial jetliners and weaponized them, murdering thousands of innocent people. The death toll would have been even higher if not for the remarkable courage of the passengers aboard United 93, who fought back and saved innocent lives. One year ago this week, a hateful, radicalized leftist shot […]

Stop shielding the real killers behind 9/11 and Charlie Kirk

America revisited two open wounds this month. Sept. 10 marked one year since conservative icon Charlie Kirk was shot to death, and the day after marked 25 years since 9/11. Both events were terroristic attacks on our liberties. Kirk was slain in front of the whole world for the simple crime of trying to reason […]

The mullahs celebrated 9/11. Why is Trump still begging them for a photo op?

It was as if the world were asleep in 1979. No one knew that the genie of political Islam and Islamic terrorism was about to emerge from the magic bottle, and that the shifting sands of the Middle East would witness the fusion of communism and political Islam — two destructive schools of thought. Two […]

I taught Saudi royalty in 1979. I saw the seeds of 9/11 decades before the planes hit

In 1979, as smoke rose from the Grand Mosque in Mecca during a bloody zealot siege, I felt the first tremors of Saudi Arabian extremism firsthand. A quarter-century before 9/11, the seeds of the hijackers’ radicalization were already being sown inside the kingdom. Working in Riyadh at a private school for the Saudi royal family, […]

Gen Z’s indifference to Sept. 11 is inexcusable

This week marks 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001. Every year, we get further away from that day. The visceral components fade into a more manageable memory. Like most horrors, the shock and pain still linger as we move on. But this never means we forget the terrible events or how profoundly they changed our […]

In the rubble of the towers, 100 bad ideas were born

War is evil. This is easy to forget. Heroism, patriotism, and moral clarity often arise out of war. But war produces mostly evil. War means death. War makes people homeless, and it levels cities. War also causes moral harm — it destroys innocence and turns young men into killers. It also causes rashness and error. […]

Trump and Carney are both to blame for interruption of US-Canada friendship

Canada and the United States have been great friends, allies, and trading partners for many years. They’ve had disagreements on areas of mutual importance like the auto sector, softwood lumber, and acid rain. They didn’t see eye-to-eye on wars in Iraq and Vietnam. Their views on apartheid in South Africa were diametrically opposed for a […]

I still have ground zero ash on my shoes. America is forgetting what built it

History often surprises us with the way time and events align. Moments separated by centuries sometimes speak to one another, reminding us of both our fragility and our strength as a nation. In 2026, two remarkable anniversaries converge — each carrying profound meaning for Americans. On July 4, we celebrated the 250th birthday of our […]

Remembering the worldview that inspired 9/11

Anniversaries are occasions for remembrance. This week, 25 years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans will rightly remember the nearly 3,000 innocent people murdered that morning, the families they left behind, and the firefighters, police officers, passengers, and other ordinary Americans who responded with such great courage. But remembering 9/11 also requires […]
