On Sunday, we’ll solemnly mark the 15th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attack on our nation, when 2,977 innocents, mostly American citizens, were murdered by Islamic fascists. In keeping with the presidential proclamation designating Sept. 11 of each year as Patriot Day, all flags should be flown at half-staff in memory of those who lost their lives that day.

We invite you to join us as we offer our prayers for the families of those lost and for our Armed Forces now serving on the front lines of the Long War against Jihadistan. We are already paying the bloody price of appeasement and tolerance in the Middle East against a jihadi foe that is alive and well.

Hillary Clinton, who wants to be judged by her record, says she’ll defeat the Islamic State without putting boots on the ground. Never mind that there already are American boots on the ground. Or that the policies she and her boss enacted are responsible for the rise of the Islamic State in the first place. We need a leader who will fight for America’s national security, not one who is responsible for the current malaise and who promises to continue it.
