President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were at the Dover Air Force Base Sunday morning for the dignified transfer of 11 of the 13 service members who lost their lives on Thursday. While there, the president actually checked his watch. And he wasn’t subtle about it, not even close to it. — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) August 29, 2021 So predictable and sad.
In terms of on-camera faux pas, this is up there with picking your nose. You just don’t do it. https://t.co/z2bOn9hO5k — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) August 29, 2021 Looks someone is anxious to go back on vacation. https://t.co/DZQjFrRSrt — Ian Miles Cheong @ stillgray.substack.com (@stillgray) August 29, 2021 The bodies arrived last night, but the president did not go to meet them. To be fair, Julio had on good authority that some family members did not want him there. Heard from a reliable source some of the families of the service members who were killed in Kabul do not want Biden to be at Dover AFB for the dignified transfers. — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) August 29, 2021 Historically. This also happened when SOCS Ryan Owen was killed under President Trump. Ryan’s father, a Green Beret, didn’t want to meet with him. Not sure under President Obama, but wouldn’t be surprised. Under President Bush, I heard a story about him being berated by parents. https://t.co/7wspMFKNyj — James LaPorta (@JimLaPorta) August 29, 2021 I feeling “being berated by parents” comes with the job of being Commander in Chief and trying to be there to pay respect to the service members and their families. — Rebecca Downs (@RebeccaRoseGold) August 29, 2021 Again, the president wasn’t even subtle about it. The fact that it looks as if this is one of his more cognizant moments–though that’s not saying much–doesn’t help his case.
Of course, the left is likely going to spin this, just as they did when the president appeared to be asleep during a meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of Israel, whom Biden was meeting for the first time.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
