We report a lot on Joe Biden's gaffes and incoherence. Those are important and troubling things to note because they put our country at risk when we have a man occupying the White House who has such problems. We saw another gaffe Friday that I wrote about earlier that earned Biden a Community Note from X and a lot of mockery.
In some ways, what's even worse is the way he treats the American people. When he ran, he pitched himself as the "empathy guy." Yet, he seems anything but in situations that have called for him to care about his fellow Americans as the "leader" of this nation. He was finally forced to say he would go to East Palestine, Ohio, after the environmental damage from a train derailment because people didn't feel his administration was properly addressing the situation. Then he never went. We saw more recently how he has dealt with the disaster in Maui, and that's been truly shameful, first not commenting and smirking, then when he finally showed up, he botched the names of their representatives, making inappropriate jokes, zoning out, looking like he was falling asleep, and then comparing the disaster to the kitchen fire that he had where he falsely claimed he "almost lost" his wife, his 67 Corvette, and his cat.
Saturday was the anniversary of the terrorist bombing at the Abbey Gate at the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul during the Afghanistan withdrawal, which killed 13 Americans and wounded many more on August 26, 2021. If you want to learn a little bit about them, here's what I wrote shortly after. It was such a loss, and they were all so young. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy posted about it Saturday morning, recognizing the dead with their names and pictures and lowering the flag in honor of their sacrifice.
