9/11 stands as an indelible reminder of the remarkable strength that can emerge from the darkest of hours. It's a day that shook our nation to its core, leaving an indescribable void in the hearts of countless families and communities. However, it also revealed the unwavering spirit of humanity, the courage to face the unthinkable, and the resilience to rebuild in the face of devastation. Today, as we remember and honor the lives lost, it's equally important to reflect upon the heroes who emerged on that fateful day. Firefighters, police officers, first responders, and ordinary individuals showed extraordinary bravery and selflessness. They ran towards danger when others were running away, demonstrating the limitless capacity for human compassion and sacrifice. These heroes, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice, continue to inspire us all. Their acts of valor serve as a shining example of what it means to stand united in the face of adversity, to put others before oneself, and to preserve the values of compassion, courage, and resilience. #NeverForget #Heroes #September11 #Resilience

The Presidential Seal is the official symbol of the office of the President of the United States! The eagle’s right (or dexter) talon clutches an olive branch with 13 olives and 13 leaves to represent peace. The left (or sinister) talon clutches arrows which represent the need sometimes to go to war to protect the nation. The eagle holds a ribbon bearing the words “E Pluribus Unum,” the motto of the U.S., which means “out of many, one.” The number 13 is used to represent the 13 original colonies. A shield in front of the eagle has 13 red and white stripes, again representing the colonies, with a blue bar above, representing both the unity of colonies into one nation and Congress, which makes laws for all. Above the eagle is a “glory Or” or halo of gold. In it are 13 white clouds, 13 white stars and many tiny stars. The 50 stars on a field of deep blue circle the eagle and represent the 50 states. The words, "Seal of the President of the United States" surround the seal on a tan field.

Reflecting on Remembrance and Reconciliation During the Second World War Anniversary This week, as we observe the Time of Remembrance and Reconciliation, we at Afkar Collective pause to honor the memory of the millions who lost their lives during the Second World War. This period offers a poignant opportunity to reflect on the profound impacts of conflict—not only those of the past but also those ongoing, including in regions such as Palestine and other areas facing turmoil today. As we remember the anguish of the past, it becomes crucial to understand the continuous struggles faced by many communities worldwide and recognize the urgent need for peace-building and reconciliation in these regions. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of the lessons of history and the devastation that arises from conflict, emphasizing our responsibility to advocate for dialogue and understanding. At Afkar Collective, we are committed to supporting efforts that promote peace and help mitigate conflict through education, dialogue, and cooperative initiatives. We stand in solidarity with all peacemakers and those suffering from conflicts around the globe, striving toward a future where such tragedies are a thing of the past. This week, let us not only remember those who suffered from historical conflicts but also focus on contemporary issues that require urgent humanitarian and diplomatic efforts. It is a call to action for all of us to work towards a world where peace prevails, and history’s dark chapters are not repeated

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.
