Iranian-backed militias targeted U.S. forces in Jordan on Sunday, killing three American troops and wounding at least 34 others, according to CNN. The number of wounded is expected to rise.
U.S. Central Command announced the deaths in a terse statement, using the Pentagon acronym of UAS for “unmanned aircraft system” — a drone.
On Sunday, campaigning in South Carolina, the president of the United States had tough talk for the militants who attacked the base, which marked the first time American servicemembers have been killed by a drone attack in Middle East after months of attempts by groups linked to Tehran.
“We had a tough day last night in the Middle East. We lost three brave souls in an attack on one of our bases,” Biden said, according to Politico.
“And we shall respond,” the president added.
That was on Sunday.
On Saturday night, the U.S. president apparently couldn’t remember who the U.S. president was.

I thought that I’d covered all the wild Biden moments in South Carolina, but it turns out there was one more set that needed to be seen.
I think that they’re going to regret sending him there, given what a mess he made of the trip. Among the problems, he called former President Donald Trump the sitting president and then the White House had to clean up the transcript for that and other issues. He also had a monumental freak-out screaming about the debunked story that Trump refused to go to an American cemetery near Paris and called people “suckers” and “losers.”
A VERY confused Joe Biden starts absolutely SCREAMING as he recounts the recycled "suckers and losers" hoax — slurring the entire way.

Also, his pandering about how much he was in a black church was just ridiculous, but it was his confusion and scary look, similar to the one he had when he was completely confused in Pennsylvania that got to me more than the malarkey about the church.
There was only one obvious way down from the pulpit, yet he couldn’t seem to find it. For someone who’s supposed to be so used to black churches, he always looks incredibly awkward when he’s in one. But check the look he has at the end.
