I’m equally annoyed with the people I heard on the radio today, beating around the bush and offering explanations for why Mendenhall sent these tweets.

Face it, he’s a left wing hater as well as an idiot.

I’m almost glad the Cowboys took Felix Jones instead of this idiot. Almost.

Well, he doesn’t exactly look like Einstein, does he....

'I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.'

And I don't believe two of the world's tallest buildings were brought down demolition style and no one, not a single person has come forward to say they were a part of said demolition, saw any part or the preparation of a demolition, heard any part of a demolition or have since discovered any evidence or witnesses to a demolition.

It takes professional demolition companies weeks if not months to prepare a building for demolition. It's a noisy, dirty job that could never have been hidden from those who worked or visited the buildings. Anyone who thinks these buildings were brought down by a controlled demo needs to ask themselves how could that have happened when no one saw or heard a thing prior to 9/11.

I’m surprised he could compose a tweet. You know, like spell words in English and all.

We need to bring back exiling. Let him earn his living kicking goats heads around a field. Mendenhall’s IQ is so low I doubt he’d make the connection, but such a fate would make most people appreciate what they had given up when they lost their US citizenship.

I can definitely celebrate death.

It’s been days and I am still celebrating.

I may never stop celebrating!

Dumb as a box of rocks! The physics involved in the buildings collapse are simple, only an idiot couldn’t understand the processes following the collisions.

The black immigrants who come here directly from Africa are nothing like that. We have caused this problem through 50 years of a nanny state. Fathers are not needed, education is not needed, morals aren't needed, God is not needed because Uncle Sam is there to take care of you from cradle to grave.

If you examine the standard of living of blacks from 1945-1965 and then from 1965-1985 you will see that through the natural progression of society that blacks did better before we started race based legislation.

The question I would ask is, Have you ever seen a building collapse that wasn't imploded? IF not then how do you know what it would look like? Also an object will take the path of least resistant when falling towards the earth, and that path tends to be straight downward.

The other question is, if they used a demolition team, why use planes in the first place? By uses charges you would kill 100% of the occupants of the building, and plus there would be no video to scrutinize afterward.

I did this for 15 years. Now imagine what all the jets fuel did to the steel structure.

I’ve forged a lot of iron and steel with commom charcoal briquettes for fuel. With a good supply of air you can melt steel to the point it flows like water. The towers formed perfect draft chimneys, the upward flow of air had to be intense.

And a fire that size will suck in the air creating a greater inferno. And, while it may not be windy on the ground, hundreds of feet in the air it often is.

I was just looking at this item that is interesting. And this is just one guy with one torch!

According to a structural engineer interviewed by the Times in 2003,
it would take a terrorist a half day to cut through one of the main cables, using perhaps an acetylene torch.

He tweeted: 'We'll never know what really happened. 'I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.'

Stick to football d*ckhead.

I sat on a bus yesterday (in Arlington, Va) and heard a gentleman attempt to give a 90-second intellectual commentary that lined up with Mendenhall’s comments. He was talking to his associate and I sat there listening to this. I think it’s mostly an intellectual game that you would play....taking the opposite position and hoping to convince people that you have a point.

And intellectual kid would do the same thing by eating dirt and then trying to convince you that it actually has taste and nutrients. You listen to the kid for moment, watch him eat the dirt, and then simply shake your head because in your heart of hearts....you know that dirt is dirt.

I saw the aftermath of a Diesel fire in a generator room. A fuel line got a small crack in it and misted against the exhaust manifold of the generator. The resulting fire melted some steel in the room to the point that it sagged and collapsed upon its own weight.

He does one thing well. And his lack of work ethic in his rookie season almost jeopardized his ability to make money at that. He just needs to try to run through tackles and shut up.

Some of the bells and cannons cast 100s of years ago required melting huge amounts of metal. They had to be cast in a single pour. The fuel was charcoal. Making charcoal was a major industry in areas where metal working was common.

There is no magic in acetylene other than convenient form, it is easy to combine with oxygen. Vaporized jet fuel isn't different.

The towers had all that was needed ro melt steel, plenty of fuel and plenty of oxygen.

When the floor beams started to sag they pulled the verticals out of plumb and the whole thing rolled in to itself like rolling a sock.

It was a simple, uncomplicated process, no magic, just physics. Once it started it could not be stopped.
