Certain small events speak volumes about the character of our leaders. One of those events happened this week.
The president of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces, had to think twice about honoring soldiers killed while carrying out his inept orders.
Islamic terrorists killed three U.S. soldiers with a drone strike on Saturday.
Joe Biden’s orders took those three U.S. citizens who happened to be black—Sgt. William Rivers, 46; Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23; and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24—from Georgia to Jordan, on the border of Syria.
Biden’s handlers were quick to claim them as their own. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre eloquently described them as “three, three brave, uh—three brave, uh—three brave folks—three folks who are military folks who are brave who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of this administration.”

Even though he formally said they died for his administration. two days later Biden had not made up his mind whether he would give them the respect of his presence at their funeral.
On Monday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby announced he “didn’t have anything on (Biden’s) scheduled to speak to” whether he would go or not.
“Their black lives mattered so much to Joe Biden that he won’t even bother to show up to receive their bodies,” said Philip Anderson.
“Joe would go to the funeral if the 3 killed were illegals crossing the boarder but not his own military personnel,” said one outraged commentator.
Joe Biden just got 3 black members of the military killed.
Their black lives mattered so much to Joe Biden that he won’t even bother to show up to receive their bodies from what I’m hearing.
My condolences to their families.
We will make it right by voting Biden out of…

When he bothers talking to soldiers in harm’s way—and the families who grieve them when they die—Joe Biden mostly talks about himself.
He keeps telling soldiers his son, Beau, “died in Iraq,” even though the younger Biden died tragically of brain cancer—a condition that has never officially been linked to his military service.
Even though the Fake News media keep telling Americans Biden is a compassionate man, he regularly turns up his nose at suffering Americans.
Just like he did last 9/11. He refused to even attend the annual commemoration, where public officials read the names of every victim lost in the world terrorist attack in U.S. history.
Just like he shafted with the people of East Palestine, Ohio—until announcing he’d finally visit this week, about a year after the derailment, which turned life upside-down and possibly exposed residents of the small, deep-Red state to deadly toxins.
If Biden’s staffers meant to schedule a feel-good, election-year visit to Ohio, it’s not likely to go the way they planned.
Last May, a whistleblower told conservative media that the derailment could have been prevented—but Biden refused, in order to curry favor with Big Labor.
Railroads said they could do a better job of monitoring safety by replacing human beings with machines…but Biden said he wanted to make sure they kept paying union workers—who kept on paying their dues to the union bosses who fund Democratic campaigns.

Maybe it’s better he leave Americans hanging after death as he did during their lives. At a ceremony honoring the 13 soldiers he abandoned to a terrorist attack in Afghanistan during his poorly planned withdrawal, a bored Biden stopped to look at his watch.
Evidently, he felt like he had more important places to be.

Joe Biden has been a chaotic and destructive force in the White House. Nobody has felt that more than hard-working people, especially American soldiers.
The best thing Joe Biden can do for the U.S. military is resign—and endorse Donald Trump.
