In short:

Joe Biden has formally apologised for the US's role in running abusive Native American boarding schools for more than a century.

Mr Biden was heckled at the event in Arizona over his support for Israel's war in Gaza.

What's next?

Arizona is one of the seven battleground states in US election to be held on November 5, local time.

Mr Biden faced a brief interruption when a pro-Palestinian protester shouted: "How can you apologise for a genocide while committing a genocide in Palestine?"

Interesting. Very disappointing, but interesting to learn nonetheless.

Gunpowder wasn't invented until the 10th century, and the letter J wasn't invented until the 16th century.

I'm pretty sure that even if that Jesus fella did actually exist, it wasn't spelled with a J. Either way, I'm also pretty sure that Jesus wasn't a gun supporter, as they didn't even exist back then.

Sigh, no wonder I'm not a religious person, religion seems to drive people crazy, expecting a 2000+ year old dead man to rise from the dead around Halloween and all..
