The (Almost) Complete List of Biden’s Lies

By Charles M. Strauss

I say “almost” complete because (1) Biden has told so many lies that surely there are some that I have missed, and (2) by the time this article is published, likely he will have added new ones.

In this list, I include as “lies” only those things that are not only false, but which Biden knows to be false. I exclude, for example, the preposterous assertion that “Assault rifle bullets travel five times faster than other bullets,” which is akin to saying that cars with automatic transmissions travel five times faster than cars with standard transmissions. Such untrue statements are not “lies,” just astonishing foolishness, and Biden is every bit as foolish as he is dishonest. He is the Cliff Klaven president — often wrong, but never in doubt.

But why is Biden such a prolific — even compulsive — liar? I am not an expert, but sometimes common sense beats expertise. As the saying goes, “I can tell a good egg from a bad egg, even though I am not a chicken and I cannot lay either kind.” I don’t know why Biden lies, but I have a suspicion. Psychologists recognize something called “Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”  According to Mayo Clinic:

“Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.”

Hmm. “Easily upset by the slightest criticism.” Like, for example, when Biden told a person who dared to question him at a town hall meeting, “You’re full of s__t” and “I’ll slap your face”? (And Trump was accused of not acting presidential!)

Here are some more characteristics of people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

– Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.

– Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. (“I think I have a much higher IQ than you.”)

– React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. (“You’re a dog-faced pony soldier.”)

Any listing of Biden’s lies must begin with his first appearance on the national stage, in 1987, when he first decided this country needed him to be president. Certainly he had been lying long before that — most likely since he could talk. But that episode was the first time we saw him on national TV, when he replied to a person who asked a fairly innocuous question: “What law school did you attend, and how did you do?” Biden flew off the handle:

 “I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do, I suspect.” Then, in less than a minute, he told these lies:

– “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship   the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship.”

– “I graduated in the top half of my class.” (Top 90%. 76th out of 85.)

– “I won the International Moot Court Competition.”

– “I was named the Outstanding Student in the Political Science department.”

– “I graduated with three degrees.”

The pundits at the time (including Democrats) predicted that that would be the end of Biden’s political career — nobody would ever take him seriously again. How did his image get “rehabilitated”? Lying. In the movie, “Wag the Dog,” the president’s PR team finds a dangerous psychopathic soldier, William Schumann, and sells him to the American public as a war hero (“Good Old Shoe.”) In Biden’s case, his long career as a liar and plagiarist were simply shoveled into the memory hole.

Since then, he has claimed that:

– He used to drive an 18-wheeler. (He got a ride in one.  Once.  Fifty years ago.)

– He spoke to the “inventor” of insulin. (Multiple scientists are credited with discovering insulin; two died before Biden was born and there is no evidence Biden met any of the others.)

– He “had a house burn down with my wife in it” and said “they almost lost a couple firefighters.” (In 2005, Biden’s house had a small fire in the kitchen. Controlled quickly. No injuries. No big risk to firefighters.) 

– He was raised in the Puerto Rican community of Delaware.  (Eyeroll. In Delaware in 1970, only 2,154 people   0.39% of the state population   were of Puerto Rican descent.)

– He spent time at and went to the Tree of Life synagogue after the 2018 shooting. (The folks at the synagogue say it never happened.)

– He served as a liaison to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the Six-Day War. (Biden was struggling through law school during the war, and Meir wasn’t prime minister then.)

– His first job offer came from Boise Cascade, an Idaho lumber company. (The company said they have no record of President Biden’s application, or of him having worked for the company.)

– The first time he got arrested was at a civil rights protest. (There is no evidence he has ever been arrested — not a first, second, or any other time.)

– He was actively involved in the civil rights movement, including marches and sit-ins. (In 1987, Biden was forced to admit that no, he was never active in the civil rights movement. Nevertheless, he still repeats that lie now and then.)

– He “got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State.” (He never attended Delaware State or any historically black college or university.)

– He was arrested while trying to see Nelson Mandela in Soweto, Africa, with Ambassador Andrew Young. (Ambassador Young said it never happened, and besides, Mandela was not in Soweto at the time; he was over 700 miles away.)

– “I got raised in the black church. We would go sit in Rev. Herring’s church…sit there before we’d go out, and try to change things when I was a kid in college and in high school.” Reverend Herring died long before this lie, but longtime elders in the church say they have no memory of Biden going to that church when he was young.

– “I probably went to shul more than many of you did,” he told a Jewish group. “That’s where I received my education. I’m a practicing Catholic, but I’d go to services on Saturday and on Sunday.  You all think I’m kidding.” (No, we don’t think he’s kidding; we think he’s lying. Or else Biden is America’s first Puerto Rican Jewish Black president.)

– He had a conversation with an Amtrak conductor in 2012 or 2013 about traveling over one million miles on Air Force Two. (That conductor retired in 1993, died in 2014, and Biden didn’t reach one million miles on AF2 until 2015.)

– He was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965, by the late Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-DE). (There is nothing in Boggs’ records, or any other records, about Biden being appointed to the Naval Academy. Biden graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, so he could not possibly have been appointed to be a freshman, after he had already graduated.)

– Oil refinery pollution is “the reason I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer.” (Riiight… he has “oil cancer.” Suuure.)

– He was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania after his term as Vice President. (Never happened.)

– His “great-grandpop” was a coal miner. No he wasn’t. Biden must be thinking of Neal Kinnock’s great-grandpop.)

– After he was elected vice president, his first act was to award a long-delayed (WW2) Purple Heart to his Uncle Frank. (Uncle Frank was not eligible to receive a Purple Heart. Also, he died in 1999, and Biden wasn’t elected vice president until 2008.)

– He hit a ball 368 feet off the wall in a Congressional baseball game in 1973. (Funny, nobody else remembers it, and no contemporary newspaper reports said anything about it.)

– His grandfather was an All-American football player at Santa Clara University. (Not according to the records of Santa Clara University and the NCAA.)

– He himself “could have been an All-American” football player. (Biden played on the freshman football team (repeat, the freshman team) for part (repeat, part) of one semester in college. He also said he considered walking on to an NFL team and thought he could make it in the pros.  Mmhmm.)

– When he was a member of the New Castle County Council, a woman asked him to remove a dead dog from her lawn, but instead of removing it, he left it on her doorstep. But on another occasion, he changed the story and said he removed the dog. (No word on whether that woman was related to Corn Pop.)

– Corn Pop.

– He had visited Afghanistan and Iraq twice after becoming president. (No he didn’t.)

– His son Beau died in Iraq. (Beau Biden died in a Maryland hospital.)

– Beau died “as a result of” the war in Iraq. (Beau Biden was not shot at or injured in Iraq; he had a desk job. Biden has suggested his son’s cancer was caused by inhaling toxic gases from “burn pits” in Iraq.  There is no evidence of that being true; it is just another of Biden’s lies to make a story, and himself, more interesting.)

– His first wife and infant daughter were killed by a drunk driver. (His first wife and infant daughter were killed in an accident, but Biden embellished the story; i.e., he lied.  There was never any evidence or suspicion that the truck driver who hit them was drunk, nor was he ever charged or cited with recklessness or anything else. She had a stop sign; he did not. She pulled into the path of a truck, and he was unable to stop in time.)

– He never discussed business deals with Hunter. (But he left Hunter a voicemail a year before that assertion, referencing a business deal with Chinese energy giant CEFC.)

– He signed a law cancelling student loans, which “passed by a vote or two.” (Congress passed nothing; Biden signed an Executive Order, which is why the Supreme Court shot it down. Congress is supposed to make laws, not the President.)

– The price of gas is “down from over $5 when I took office.” (The day before former President Donald Trump left office, the national average price of gas was $2.38.)

– He traveled 17,000 miles with Chinese President Xi Jinping. (Nope.)

– The withdrawal from Afghanistan was an “extraordinary success.”

– When he was elected, there was no national plan for vaccinations; he had to start from scratch.  (By the time he took office, nearly a million Americans had been vaccinated. Never heard of Operation Warp Speed?)

– If you get vaccinated, you won’t need to wear a mask.

– If you get vaccinated, you won’t get the Wuhan virus.

– He has been to the border.

– The border is secure.

Bidens apologists and enablers call these “gaffes.” A gaffe is a mistake. A lie is intentional.

People make a big deal about Biden’s age-related dementia. But his continuous lies are not age-related. He has been a psychopathic liar his whole life. Now he is a psychopathic liar with senile dementia.

Too harsh?

Psychopath:

Noun

1. A person who engages repeatedly in criminal and antisocial behavior without remorse or empathy for those victimized.

2. A morally irresponsible person.

3. A person with a personality disorder indicated by a pattern of lying, cunning, manipulating, glibness, exploiting, heedlessness, arrogance, delusions of grandeur, sexual promiscuity, low self-control, disregard for morality, lack of acceptance of responsibility, callousness, and lack of empathy and remorse. Such an individual may be especially prone to violent and criminal offenses.

When it comes to misinformation, Biden is full of it.
