Politicians frequently lie, but Old Joe Biden’s career record is clear: He makes Josef Goebbels look honest. Biden is such a massive liar that it’s unclear whether or not he has ever told the truth in an entire lifetime of grift and corruption. On Friday afternoon, however, Biden outdid himself, appearing at the Delaware Veteran’s Summit and telling so many outrageous lies about his career and his family that if he were a conservative, establishment media “fact checkers” would have died of exhaustion. It’s lucky for them that whenever Old Joe speaks, they take the day off.
Biden claimed that when he was elected vice president in 2008, his father contacted him and asked him to finagle a Purple Heart for his brother, Biden’s uncle Frank. Biden said, “You know, I — my dad, when I got elected Vice President, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’”
The incoming vice president was, of course, happy to get his uncle the recognition he deserved, however belatedly: “So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there.” Get your handkerchief ready. Biden continued, “I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…’ He said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’” The crowd laughed, and Biden plowed on: “No, I’m serious. He said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.’” Biden then attempted to bring his story into the present and initially missed by fifty years: “Just like a generation — this generation in Vietnam — excuse me, in — in Iraq.”
Anyway, what a noble soul was Uncle Frank Biden, eh? There’s just one problem: Frank Biden died in 1999, and Biden’s father, Joe Biden Sr., died in 2002. Yet the putative president claims that this incident took place in 2008, and it hinges upon Vice President Joe, as the national second banana, being able to pull strings to get his uncle the Purple Heart. Maybe this happened years earlier than Biden said it did, and he was pulling strings as a senator rather than as vice president, or maybe it never happened at all.
The latter seems more likely. According to the New York Post, a registry of recipients of the Purple Heart doesn’t include the name Frank Biden, and when Frank died, his obituary contained no mention of his having won this honor. Also, the story is suspiciously similar to one Biden was fond of telling in 2019. He was in Afghanistan as vice president, Biden claimed, to honor a Navy captain who had “rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back.” Biden said that when he tried to pin a Silver Star on the captain, “he said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing! Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died.” Biden concluded, “This is the God’s truth. My word as a Biden.”
But it wasn’t, of course. Even the Washington Post, ordinarily a tenacious purveyor of Leftist propaganda, stated, “Except almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect. Based on interviews with more than a dozen U.S. troops, their commanders and Biden campaign officials, it appears as though the former vice president has jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion and regret that never happened.”
The Frank Biden story wasn’t Old Joe’s only lie on Friday. He also claimed, “And, you know, I think that there’s a — I’ve been in and out — not as a, obviously, combatant — but in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq and these areas 38, 39 times as — not as President, only twice as President, but from the time I was a senator, but particularly when I was Vice President.” This was a slight rollback of his claim during his State of the Union address: “I’ve been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan over 40 times.” In 2019, he said, I’ve been in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq over 30 times.” According to the Washington Post, “his campaign later clarified that the correct number is 21.” Also, he has never visited Afghanistan or Iraq as president.
Joe Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is unprincipled, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous. His faux presidency will be remembered as one of the darkest periods of American history. We can only hope that the damage he leaves behind him will not be completely irreversible.

One of things that Joe Biden does best his his constant telling of lies. As seen that Biden is a liar by his recent statement that he is responsible to creating one million jobs for Americas. If anything Biden is a destroyer of many jobs for the American workers .
As observed by his shutting down the Northern oil pipeline business costing many US citizens their much needed jobs . Related to this is fuel is now so expansive that it cost a truck driver one thousand just to fill up his tank with gas. The result of this is that many truck drivers are now out of business because of Biden.
The list jobs lost because of Biden’s socialist meddling and interfering in the American free enterprise system could go on , but those two example should be enough to make that false statement by Biden to be an obvious lie.
Walter Sieruk says
Lying Joe Biden hardly ever speaks the true. in all fairness he does once in a while speak a true statement but not often. As for the he few time he does say the truth may be explained by the saying “Even a brooked clock is right twice a day.”
A few other example, out of many , of Biden being a liar.
Creepy old Joe lied when he said that he was an “honor student” at school.
That mean old bastard lied when he bragged that he is “very educated and earned many degrees “.
That bogus talking Biden lied when he said that during the 1960’s he marched side by side with with Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement.
After Biden entered the White House posing as a genuine US President, then he cause much inflation in the United States with his socialist economic he kept pushing on America , he lied and said it was Vladimir Putin’s fault. Putin has done many terrible things but causing inflation in the US isn’t one of them.
The disaster Biden created by his untimely and sudden rash US military withdraw order from Afghanistan abandoning many US citizens to the vicious invading Taliban in that land and letting the much high quality state of the art to the enemy, the Taliban . Joe Biden actually had the lying gall to blame others for the terrible results of his awful orders making a complete disaster in Afghanistan .
The list if lies that liar Joe Biden speaks can go on but this should be enough to reveal his wicked character.
Kim says
why is nothing being done about any of this? All true, treasonous crimes.
Walter Sieruk says
That falsehood specking “President ” impostor Biden is such a pathological liar that we shouldn’t expect anything else from him but him specking lies.
In other words, Joe Biden is such a chronic liar and he has been lying for so many years, that now lying is his nature. Biden’s a chronic liar. Biden has been a liar, is now a liar, and will in the future continue to be a liar.
David Ray says
This lackluster idiot’s “presidency” WOULD be remembered for the darkest priod, except for the chance that leftist journalists & historians will clean up the mess.
My guess is they’ll continue the tired yarn of blaming Trump. They have so far.
Future history books are already searching the famed “1st draft” from news reports; such that got Pulitzer Prizes for the reporters who wrote the debunked Russian Collusion articles. (Walter Durante still has his bullshit Pulitzer, so it’s not surprising.)

You dont win the medal …you are awarded it. Winning makes it sound like a contest!
Kasandra says
He is such an odious person – pathological liar, serial plagiarist, corruptocrat. One might conclude we have a sociopath as President.
Dr2xFour says
Liars got to lie.
Truth is he is a rank amateur to those holding sway in DC.
Methinks his side is all in on letting the vegetable in chief speak off the cuff.
This gives them cover as they carry on with their nefarious deeds.
So many things to talk about and expose and we waste space here telling us something we knew a decade ago.
Kevin says
The sad thing is that none of the Democrat controlled propaganda outlets will point out the lies of the President.
They would not give President Trump that protection IF he were to lie.
Ralph P says
The man lies from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to sleep after his evening ice cream reward for another good day of destroying America. I myself am not convinced the damage is reversible. Biden is just the logical conclusion of the progressive agenda. The woke mob has already done it’s work destroying the family, undermining our institutions and programming minds for decades. I hope and pray I’m wrong. Great article, Mr. Spencer.
Sven says
He probably gets a sick thrill from doing this regularly over the years and gets to see mostly his sucker supporters lapping it up.
Spurwing Plover says
Biden stands up and yammering out a few words no one can translate can we talk about this babbling pinhead now?
Anne-Marie says
It will take years, perhaps two decades to undo the train wreck that America has become in the short period of Jo-blow’s presidency. Even a superbly competent, ballsy president committed to his country (and not to his cronies) will be fighting an uphill battle all the way and be sabotaged by people who are supposed to support him.

A deep dive into ‘Twitter Files 8’
By Rajan Laad
So far, Elon Musk’s Twitter Files series has revealed details of collusion between the former Twitter regime and U.S. government agencies.
These groups worked closely to distort the discourse leading to the 2020 presidential elections using a variety of tools.
Justin Swingle says
Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty. MONICA SHOWALTER
Jim says
It does not matter to Democrat voters what lies Joe has told. He is a leftist, and leftists are good, no matter what they do. They are not prosecuted, condemned. Their houses are not raided by the FBI. They are not pilloried as fascists, deplorables, criminals, insurrectionists or enemies of our Democracy. A few tall tales by a senile old politician do not matter compared with all the good deeds that the left does when it controls the executive branch, legal system, media and educational systems.
Dan Foster says
So many typos in this article. I’ll correct your last paragraph but you’re not getting anything more for free.
“[Donald Trump] has made it abundantly clear that he is unprincipled, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous. His faux presidency will be remembered as one of the darkest periods of American history. We can only hope that the damage he leaves behind him will not be completely irreversible.”
I mean it’s totally vacuous blathering but, hey, you’re the one that wrote it. It’s definitely a you problem.

“We Knew Joe Biden Was a Big Liar”
Bigger than Trump? Really! No way, Jose! You got to be kidding!
Andrew Blackadder says
This is one of the many reasons Mrs Clinton and Old Joe get on so well as she stated she was ”under fire” when she arrived at an Airport…
Liar liar, pants on fire… Big time..
