Yesterday, Joe Biden became the first sitting president in 22 years to not observe the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at an attack site.
Instead, Biden marked the solemn occasion during a quick stop at an Alaska air base — typically used as a re-fueling stop for Air Force One — on his way home from India and Vietnam.
BIDEN: "Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell."

Of course, Biden made it all about himself.
He took the stage and immediately cracked a joke. Then, he said this: “Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building…”
That never happened. In fact, according to his own book, Biden was in Washington, D.C., for the duration of the day — speaking on the floor of the U.S. Senate and granting TV interviews. Even the White House ostensibly admitted he was lying.
Biden did eventually visit Ground Zero as part of a congressional delegation — but not until nine days later.
Sadly, this isn’t even close to the first time Biden has lied to feign empathy. He told Maui wildfire victims his own house burned down (it didn’t), claimed he visited the Tree of Life synagogue after a 2018 shooting (he didn’t), claimed he served as a “liaison” to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the Six-Day War (he didn’t), and so much more.
A pathological liar like Joe Biden simply can’t not make it about himself — that’s who he is and always has been.
It’s shameful.
