There was a fantastic turn out for the 2 million biker ride to DC today. Last I checked over 880,000 motor cycle riders rode to Washington DC to honor the fallen on 9/11/01, this 12th anniversary of.

September 11th 2001: A day that not only changed American History but World History as we knew it. A day where everything literally stood still. Everyone was affected. No one was immune to it. The skies were clear of every flying object known to man. The streets around the nation were empty. Schools had full classrooms but as quiet as if no one was there. All you could hear was a TV in the background with the history making news that was unfolding. A stunned nation and world watched in horror, feeling helpless.

An 18-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Tuesday in the 1800 block of Armstrong Lane and faces a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery following a dispute with her mother.

According to the arrest report, officers were called to the address at around 7:11 p.m. in response to a domestic battery reported between a mother and daughter.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval today issued the following statement on the 12th anniversary of 9/11:

“Twelve years ago today, our nation experienced the most callous attacks on our soil in history. While we were shocked, saddened, angry and shaken, over the last twelve years, we have remained vigilant, resilient and grateful for the sacrifices made that day and after. On this anniversary, we gather to remind ourselves of the responsibilities of being a free and enduring nation – we are proud, patriotic, optimistic and resolute.

On Saturday, September 14, 2013, at Carson City Harley-Davidson in Carson City, Nevada, the 12th Annual Never Forget 9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Run Parade will take place.

A 28-year-old Carson City man was arrested for domestic battery second offense on Tuesday, July 9, 4:58 p.m.

Officers responded to the residence after dispatch received a call of a domestic battery. Upon arrival, officers learned the man and his girlfriend were in the process of moving their stuff from a storage facility after they had been evicted, according to the arrest report.

I publicly wept when they looked at me. More than 6,500 young men and women fed into the meat grinder since 9/11.

Come prepared to cry when you stare into the faces of the snuffed. "Always Lost: A meditation on war" plays at the Nevada Legislature through May 3.

The name comes from Gertrude Stein who once opined that "war is never fatal but always lost." I could not disagree more with the former.

These men and woman put on the uniform every day without fanfare, without asking for it, or expecting it. They do it with great pride in knowing that today is another day to protect and serve the public. They protect the very freedoms we have the privilege to enjoy. Most put that with the military but the freedom fight is also right here on our own home soil.

On this day of remebrance, it has been pointed out to me that few people know of the presence of this memorial. This beam is from (I believe) the north tower of the World Trade Center. It was given to the good people of Carson City by the Port Authority of New York to mark that fateful day.

It is located in Mills Park, at the eastern edge of the Pony Express Pavillion (near the snack bar).

It is a piece of history that should not be forgotten.

In the United States a political party does not become the majority party in this country by becoming ideologically pure. They become the majority by becoming larger, inclusive, and superior to their political opponents not only in size, but should also be anchored in and unafraid of intellectual and discursive dialogue, devoid of reactionary emotionalism. Then and only then, can conservatism present and extend to the electorate our concepts in such a way that we will be accepted by the majority of our fellow citizens.

The new film "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" by director Stephen Daldry ("The Hours") playing at the Fandango Galaxy cineplex in Carson City a story about a 9-year old boy Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) who loses his father in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.

The Washington Post has published a long-awaited – and controversial – investigation called “Top Secret America” that details the vast patchwork of government contractors and intelligence operations that were spawned in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Post uncovered an operation “so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.”
