At what point does it become problematic when Joe Biden says crazy things that have no basis in reality?
On Thursday, Biden told a group of diplomatic aides that they had “great personal courage.” “I’ve been with some of you when we’ve been shot at.”
Biden, of course, did not provide any further details of when he’d actually been “shot at.”
He apparently made a similar claim during a presidential debate in 2007 and claimed he was shot at in Baghdad’s Green Zone.
“Let’s start telling the truth,” he said. “Number one, you take all the troops out you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the Green Zone, where I have been seven times and shot at. You better make sure you have protection for them, or let them die, number one.”
There are 33 times more kiwi (the bird) than Kiwis (the people) on this island.
There are very few places in the world right now where tourism is booming, but New Zealand’s “other” island is reaping the benefits of a trapped population. Stewart Island/Rakiura is heaving with domestic visitors, one of the few “overseas” (or at least over the Foveaux Strait) destinations available until the bubbles open. The ferry across has been busier than ever, with bookings up 50 per cent over the July school holidays compared to last year, and they’ve stayed about 30 per cent higher than usual.
