President Joe Biden lies so much that even the New York Times thought they had to cover it, although they just named him "Storyteller-in-Chief" and said that he spun yarns that didn't always pan out. Biden was campaigning in Pennsylvania Wednesday and once again revived the debunked hit piece in The Atlantic that claimed President Donald Trump refused to visit the graves of fallen servicemembers because they were "suckers and losers." Dozens of people who were there refuted the story, but Biden keeps telling it anyway.
Why did this come up? Because it reminded Biden of the time his "Uncle Bosey" was shot down over New Guinea. They found the plane, but they never found his body — most likely because the area was populated by cannibals who ate him.

He told the story on his way from his Puerto Rican hometown of Scranton (where he drew a huge crowd) to Pittsburgh to meet with the United Steelworkers, who also got to hear the story:

He also claims D-Day was on a Sunday (it was on a Tuesday).

You gotta love how one reporter claimed from anonymous sources that Trump called them suckers and losers, every witness in the story said it wasn't true, but now they treat it as fact. https://t.co/cR91AR6ZyZ

If we remember correctly, about 22 people who were present went on record to deny the "suckers and losers" story.
But back to this business of cannibals:
Unsurprisingly, Biden has made up most of this war story.

Lt. Ambrose Finnegan was a ground crew member and ordinance officer, not a reconnaissance pilot.
In 1944, Finnegan was the passenger of an A-20 (a twin-engine, not single-engine plane) that ditched, it wasn't shot down.… https://t.co/xxIb5dreOB pic.twitter.com/xrn1WuAbTh

"The flight went down over the Bismarck Sea, not "in an area where there were a lot of cannibals.""
Just before he said the above, Biden claimed that his four uncles all enlisted the day after "D-Day," which is also false.

D-Day was June 6, 1944.
Military records show Ambrose Finnegan enlisted on January 21, 1941.

From the military records related to Ambrose Biden's death:

"Subject plane became lost and was forced to make a crash landing due to lack of fuel."
"2nd Lt. Ambrose was a passenger on an A-20 ... on a courier mission." pic.twitter.com/FKmoN8UcAP
So he's told this story three times in 24 hours. This is his campaign.
D Day was June 6, 1944... and he says his uncles joined the military on D Day. Ambrose died on May 14, 1944.

Ambrose was not a pilot, & he was not shot down. He was a courier - a passenger on an A-20 bomber that ditched at sea with engine troubles.https://t.co/MwYZejvQXg
Where are Glenn Kessler and Daniel Dale to fact-check the president?
Can't defend his record, so a nonstop stream of lies should suffice.

Ambrose a passenger on a bomber and the plane was not shot down but ditched at sea due to engine failure.
— Charles R. Smith🔹 (@softwarnet) April 17, 2024
Ambrose was NOT a pilot, engineer nor any part of an aircrew. He was 2nd Lieutenant a courier for the Advanced Echelon (ADVON) in New Guinea.https://t.co/MwYZejvQXg
Ugly freaking liar about EVERYTHING!

His whole life is built on lies and hoaxes. The press did its job in 1988 calling out these lies, but have since realized the truth is stopping Democrats from making progress. So, we have a king with no cloths scenario.

If Biden doesn't happen to have a story to fit a situation, he's not unopposed to just make it up it ends up being a battle between his serial llying and what he can remember, and he fills in the rest.

The man has lied — repeatedly — about his son dying in Iraq.
Remember. Biden was THROWN OUT of the 1988 Presidential race for excessive lying. He’s no different today.

His grandfather? The one (Ambrose Finnegan) who died in 1957 in Scranton?

Joe can say anything that he wants because 90% of the media will edit his words to cover for him and 60% of the public will not know that they are being lied to

PARIS (AP) — President Donald Trump canceled a planned visit to a cemetery for Americans killed in World War I, the White House said, citing bad weather that grounded his helicopter.
Trump had been scheduled to lay a wreath and…
Trump had been scheduled to lay a wreath and observe a moment of silence Saturday at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial, located adjacent to Belleau Wood and about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Paris.
Instead, Trump spent much of the day following a meeting and lunch with French President Emmanuel Macron at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, where he was staying during events to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
Attending in Trump’s place were the White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly; the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. Joe Dunford; and several members of the White House staff. The Battle of Belleau Wood was a critical conflict in the war and a pivotal encounter in Marine Corps history.
The determination to ground Marine One, the president’s helicopter, due to bad weather is made by the Marine Corps and the White House Military Office, which then presents the recommendation to the White House in collaboration with the Secret Service, according to a Secret Service official.
Paris was covered in clouds with drizzling rain through most of Saturday.
Trump was scheduled to join dozens of world leaders Sunday at a ceremony in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe marking Armistice Day. He delivered remarks at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial, located five miles west of Paris, before returning to Washington.
That's the true story.
"I'm not making that up."

No, you're repeating a long ago debunked lie.
“I’m not making that up” means he’s making it up.

Any time Biden says, "No joke" or "You think I'm kidding," he's lying.
Oh, and since Biden was in Pittsburgh, he claimed to be Pittsburgh.
