President Joe Biden has spent his career claiming accomplishments that are not his own and spinning yarns, including lies about easily disproved academic accomplishments and autobiographical details and Welsh syntax. He ruined the 1988 presidential election campaign by plagiarizing almost verbatim speeches with . British politician.
The 82-year-old Democrat has found it increasingly difficult to construct a convincing case in recent years, due to a sharp decline in the 2024 presidential campaign — such as the president-elect. For example, when he imposed baseless slurs on people such as “scams'' and “losers.'' Donald Trump. forced a lie The hoax that they are “very wonderful people” In his oft-told presidential birth story. He talks about how his uncle was allegedly eaten by cannibals in New Guinea. Details of an encounter with a then-deceased Amtrak conductor. And the day after 9/11, he claimed to have been at Ground Zero in New York City.
Despite losing his senses, Biden did his best to remain consistent and easily shed light on his supposed accomplishments in a 17-minute farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday night. He spread half-truths and other dubious claims, and then mourned the president's death. The fact-checking system that helped him in 2020.
great liberator
Mr. Biden opened by not once mentioning the key role played by Mr. Trump, who has failed to get a deal done in the past 15 months, and by not once mentioning the key role played by Mr. Trump in the cease-fire agreed this week between Israel and Hamas. and claimed responsibility for the hostage agreement.
“The involvement of President-elect Trump's team is critical.”
Jonathan Panikov, director of the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council, said: said The Associated Press reported that President Trump's threats against terrorists and efforts to lean on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through his incoming Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff bore fruit.
“Both the outgoing and incoming administrations deserve credit for this deal, which would have been much less likely to happen without both parties pushing for it,” Panikov said.
“The involvement of President-elect Trump's team was critical to achieving this agreement,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said.
prime minister netanyahu reportedly Trump personally thanked him for “bringing an end to the suffering of dozens of hostages and their families.”

In his speech, Biden said he kept his promise to be “a president for all Americans through one of the most difficult times in our nation's history.”
While technically a president for all Americans, Biden routinely attacked and dehumanized those who didn't support him, labeling tens of millions of Trump supporters as “trash.” . suggested that House Republicans were worse than his old racist comrades. and states He claimed that his political opponents “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our country” as well as “the very substance of our democratic institutions.”
Mr. Biden's Justice Department held Mr. Trump's allies to a different standard than their fellow citizens. While unfairly targeting pro-lifers; actively Promote radical abortion plans. It treated concerned parents and traditional Christians as potential threats that did not align with the regime's thinking.
Biden's State Department and other administration officials engaged in direct and indirect efforts to suppress dissent and critics, particularly on the right. Various ministries and agencies were certainly indicted during his tenure, for example, as in the case's amended September complaint by the New Civil Liberties Union. Dressen et al. v. Flaherty et al. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of five individuals who suffered vaccine-related injuries, alleges that “speech expressed by people who have suffered vaccine-related injuries is censored, suppressed, and labeled as 'misinformation.' “They coerce, induce, and collude with social media platforms to achieve their goals.” ”
In another glaring exception to his promise to be a president for everyone, Biden announced the Education Department's woke new title stripping women of safe, single-sex spaces, including bathrooms and locker rooms, within schools. Pushing the IX rule forward, young women were clearly a lower priority as a cohort than gender ideologues and cross-dressing activists.

In his speech, Biden repeated his shaky claim that he had brought violent crime to its lowest level in 50 years. The 82-year-old Democratic lawmaker said: many opportunitiesrelies on FBI statistics that define “violent crimes” as murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
There are many problems with Biden's reliance on FBI data. First of all, almost one third of law enforcement agencies have failed to submit criminal data to the FBI in recent years. For example, in 2022, high-crime cities such as Phoenix, New York City, and Los Angeles will Could not submit crime data.
This unreliability problem is exacerbated by the FBI's apparent willingness to fudge the numbers. Crime Prevention Research Center reported The FBI secretly changed its policy in October. crime data The department previously claimed that violent crime fell by 2.1% that year, but adjusted its statistics to show that violent crime actually increased by at least 4.5%.
“We have ushered in a new era of American possibility.”
Other anti-crime efforts also cast doubt on the veracity of Biden's claims. CPRC Chairman John Lott Jr. told Blaze Media Co-Founder: glenn beck In September, he said, “There are two measures we take when it comes to crime, but the media seems to only look at one measure and not understand what they are measuring.”
“So those two metrics are FBI metrics for crimes reported to law enforcement,” Lott continued. “And then there's a measure of the Bureau of Justice Statistics called the National Crime Victimization Data, which measures total crimes, including reported and unreported crimes. Prior to 2020, these two The numbers usually went up and down together. But since 2020, they've been going in opposite directions.
Lott noted that while the FBI initially claimed that violent crime was down more than 2% in 2022, the National Crime Victimization Survey showed that: giant spike Violence victimization rate.

Just as Biden likely didn't oversee a sharp decline in crime, he also likely didn't drive large numbers of Americans online, as he suggested in his speech.
Biden hinted that his administration had something to do with bringing internet to the masses, saying, “We have launched a new era of American possibility. New roads, bridges, clean water, new roads, new bridges, clean water for every American. Providing affordable high-speed internet.”
Biden was apparently referring to a $42.5 billion plan to expand broadband internet and provide internet access to about 25 million people, which turned out to be a big deal. completion No good — probably less useful than the network of electric vehicle charging stations he promised.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Biden ratified in 2021, included provisions that would invest billions of dollars in broadband equity, access, and deployment programs.
Federal Communications Commission Republican Commissioner Brendan Carr said: noticed June 14th: “In 2021, the Biden administration secured $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed internet to millions of Americans. Years later, that funding is still not connected. In fact, there is currently no construction going on.''The project will start by 2025 at the earliest. ”
