Looks Like One of Biden's Tall Tales About His Background Just Got Called Out...by Joe Biden

I have to think there's some issue he has that causes him to do this, to exaggerate so much about his background tin order to pump himself up.

WATCH: Karine Jean-Pierre's System Reboots in Real Time After Doocy Asks About Biden 'Bloodbath' Remarks

There's such an overinflated sense of self-importance in everything the media does, when they don't realize that the most important thing they can do is to report on things truthfully, accurately, objectively and in context while letting the viewer/reader form their own opinions about the statements being made.

Joe Biden Rages Against Israel, Throws Ally Under the Bus After Aid Workers Are Killed

Biden demanded "accountability" and further proclaimed that "incidents like yesterday's simply should not happen." Of course, when a nation is fighting a hot war, incidents like the one that occurred will happen. They are unavoidable. Do you know who should know that better than anyone?

MORNING MUSING

On this day in 2010, Apple released the first-generation iPad. Am I the only one who feels like that was longer than 14 years ago? I had one — still do, but it's not been fired up in a long time. And actually, mine may be second-gen — I'm rarely an early adopter. But somehow, the interest in it waned. Between the laptop and phone, it feels like there's little need for the tablet. #FirstWorldProblems, I guess.
