Lying is a way of life for this miscreant, as it has been for 50+ years.
What a joke!!
Wake up people!!

Think about WHY they lie so frequently. Could it be because they HAVE to lie to sustain the illusion that "everything's great"??

Think about HOW branden's entire on the dole career (where he achieved NOTHING MEANINGFUL) was simply a series of lies to make him SOUND better than he ACTUALLY is?

Plagiarisms:

Going all the way back to 1965, when he was a Syracuse University College of Law student, Biden lifted five pages of a law review for a legal report. “I was wrong, but I was not malevolent in any way,” he said when caught.

In 1987, he was forced out of the p**********l race when he was caught stealing lines of British politician Neil Kinnock’s speeches. Maybe worse, he also mimicked some of Kinnock’s mannerisms in a style a reporter at the time called “creepy.” Political author Richard Ben Cramer said Biden knew what he was doing and even had a video of Kinnock to study.

Also during that p**********l run, he stole lines from Robert F. Kennedy, according to a New York Times review. During his p**********l run in 1968, RFK said, “It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. and it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.” Nearly 20 years later, Biden said, “That bottom line can tell us everything about our lives, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America, except that which makes us proud to be Americans.”

That year, he also borrowed from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address when he fashioned a line off JFK’s famous phrase “Each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.” According to the New York Times's Maureen Dowd, Biden said, “Each generation of Americans has been summoned.”

Biden in 1987 also pulled a phrase from then-Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Wrote the New York Times's Dowd, “At the Democratic National Convention in 1976, Mr. Humphrey, then a senator from Minnesota, declared: ‘The ultimate moral test of any government is the manner in which it treats three groups of its citizens: first, those who are in the dawn of life, our children; second, those who are in the shadows of life, our sick, our needy, our handicapped, and those, third, in the twilight of life, our elderly.’ Senator Biden's version offered ‘a nation noble enough to treat those at the dawn of life with love, those at the dusk of life with care and those who live in the shadow of life with compassion.’”

In 2000, according to the New York Post, Biden was caught pulling lines from a federal judge’s opinion for an article in the Harvard Journal on Legislation about his Violence Against Women Act.

During his 2020 campaign, the Washington Post said Biden pulled policy platforms and wording from several groups, including a word-for-word proposal from the XQ Institute.

He also used whole sections of Bernie Sanders campaign plans in their joint unity task force paper, said the 2020 Trump campaign.

For his 2020 “Build Back Better” theme, Biden adopted the slogan from former President Bill Clinton’s “Building Back Better.”

Then there are Biden’s biographical tall tales, including:

He said in 2008, a helicopter he was riding in was “forced down” near Osama bin Laden’s lair in Afghanistan. Actually, it was just waiting out a sandstorm, wrote former Washington Examiner reporter Alana Goodman, now with the Washington Free Beacon.

He has falsely claimed to be a coal miner and from a family of coal miners, a claim pulled from Kinnock, according to Slate.

In 2007, he said he was “shot at” while in Iraq. The t***h is that he was in the green zone when a mortar landed several hundred yards away, reported the Hill.

Biden said in 1993 that he called Slobodan Milosevic a “damn war criminal” to his face during the siege of Sarajevo. Three out of four aides in the meeting wouldn’t corroborate.

Biden has said he was a civil rights leader, participating in sit-ins. Never happened.

Biden said he criticized former President George W. Bush in several long meetings. A Bush aide said he couldn’t remember Biden in any meetings and added that the former president “would never sit through two hours of Joe Biden."

The president recently retold how his Delaware house caught fire, almost k*****g his wife, dog, and cat and melting his Corvette. Fox and the Associated Press reported that it was just a small kitchen fire.

And then there is his million miles flown story told to Amtrak conductor Angelo Negri. Biden claims that Negri congratulated him during a train trip to visit his dying mother. CNN tore that story apart, writing, “Biden’s story is false in two ways. First, he could not possibly have had this exchange with Negri: He did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own past comments, but Negri had died more than a year earlier, in May 2014. Second, Biden’s mother was not dying at the time he reached the million-miles-flown mark. In fact, she had died more than five years prior.”

ARTICLE FOLLOWS: (same old same old lying)

The headlines on Friday were that the economy created 216,000 jobs, more than expected and a sign of continued strength in the economy.

“This morning’s report confirms that 2023 was a great year for American workers,” President Joe Biden said.

Hurray!

But wait a minute. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) previously reported that there were 157,087,000 “non-farm payroll” jobs in November. The number of these jobs in December, it now says, was 157,232,000.

That’s a gain of only 145,000.

So how did Biden manage to claim that the economy created 216,000 jobs in December?

Easy. All you have to do is cut the number of jobs in November by 71,000 and then measure December’s gain against that new, lower number.

Et voilà!

Instead of 157,087,000 jobs in November, the BLS now says there were 157,016,000. Subtract that from 157,232,000 and you get … 216,000!

Turns out, the BLS has been exaggerating job gains this way throughout 2023. But you’d never know that unless you dug into the data.

We looked at the BLS press releases each month in 2023, and compared the number of jobs it claimed had been created with its new “revised” numbers. Turns out, in every month but one the BLS initial number was wrong, often by wide margins and almost always to Biden’s benefit. It exaggerated the gains by 10% in January, 25% in February, 20% in May, 42% in October, and by nearly 100% in June. (See the chart below.)

And the press played along. Every month, headlines touted the strong job gains.

After the BLS said that 209,000 jobs were created in June, the press called it “latest evidence of economic strength.” Now the BLS says only 105,000 jobs had been created that month. What would the headlines have read if that had been the number?

The BLS initially claimed that the economy had created 199,000 jobs in November, and the press shouted that it was way above the 180,000 gain economists had expected.

Now the BLS says that just 173,000 jobs were created in November – less than economists had forecast.

We’re not saying that there’s something nefarious going on here or that the number crunchers at BLS are cooking the books to help Biden. The BLS is always revising its numbers as new data come in.

But as economist EJ Antoni said last summer, when this pattern first became obvious, “Every single month this year has seen its payroll numbers revised down. It’s difficult to stress how unusual this is as it’s so statistically unlikely. There is clearly something wrong with the estimations being done by President Joe Biden’s Department of Labor.”

Wh**ever the reason for the wild misses, the cumulative effect is to give the public a false impression about job growth in the country. So don’t be surprised if that big December number gets quietly cut in the months ahead.
