    Empathy from POTUS.

    Yeah, that house fire was extinguished in 20 minutes. That's EXACTLY the same as losing your entire house.

            I thought his talking about his son's death in Iraq was particularly poignant.

            Except...He didn't have a son die in Iraq...

              I looked into that too. He believes Beau developed his glioblastoma from being near the burn pits in Iraq. It's not an unreasonable belief.

                https://rockymountainbrainandspineinstitute.com/burn-pits-and-brain-cancer/

                However in comparing military either exposed (predominately after 2001) to “burn pits” to those not exposed, there seems to be equal rates of brain tumors. No data suggests Iraq veterans developed brain cancer at any higher rate than those in earlier wars. Brain cancer prevalence was ~ 0.04% for Vietnam veterans and 0.03% for Gulf War veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

                But the guy who wrote this is a brain surgeon. Who you gonna trust, a neurosurgeon or POTUS?

                FactCheck

                Biden’s other main claim was his suggestion that burn pits are the reason why some veterans are developing brain cancer. There is little evidence to indicate that’s true, although scientists have not ruled out a connection.

                Burn pits are open areas in which trash from a military base is burned, typically because of a lack of other waste infrastructure, including incinerators. Although the U.S. military has significantly reduced the use of burn pits, they once were common throughout war zones in the Middle East and Central Asia.

                A 2010 Government Accountability Office report explains that before 2004, burn pits were the only method of waste management that the military used in Iraq and Afghanistan. In November 2009, the report adds, U.S. Central Command reported 50 active burn pits in Afghanistan and 67 in Iraq; by April 2010, this had changed to 184 and 52, respectively, and in August 2010, to 251 and 22.

                Although future studies may eventually come out to change scientific opinion, there is no direct evidence that burn pits cause brain cancer, and no indication that Iraq War veterans are especially affected by brain cancer, as Biden claimed.

                  I'm not saying he's right. But it is not what its being made out to be. I am plenty critical of the man, but this is, and he admits he can't prove it, his belief. He gets a pass on this one.

                          Simple slip of the tongue. Biden accidentally said “all American football player” when he meant to say “horrible virulent racist”. It’s not technically a lie, because his grandfather was a horrible virulent racist.

                              I read here that as long as it’s plausible that Biden was told the falsehood by his echo chamber handlers, and believes it, it’s not technically a lie.

                                The biggest lie of all is how the media is covering up for Biden and slanting the news to promote a White House approved image.

                                          The New York Times makes a discovery:

                                          Biden Spins His Economic Record

                                          As President Biden has told it in recent months, America has the fastest-growing economy in the world, his student debt forgiveness program passed Congress by a vote or two, and Social Security benefits became more generous thanks to his leadership.
                                          None of that was accurate.
                                          The president, who has long been seen as embellishing the truth, has recently overstated his influence on the economy, or omitted key facts. This week, Mr. Biden praised himself for giving retirees a raise during a speech in Florida.
                                          “On my watch, for the first time in 10 years, seniors are getting an increase in their Social Security checks,” he declared. The problem: That increase was the result of an automatic cost-of-living increase prompted by the most rapid inflation in 40 years. Mr. Biden had not done anything to make retirees’ checks bigger — it was just a byproduct of the soaring inflation that the president has vowed to combat.
                                          In stops across the country in recent weeks, Mr. Biden has also credited himself with bringing down the federal budget deficit — the gap between what America owes and what it earns.
                                          “This year the deficit, under our leadership, is falling by $1.4 trillion,” he said last week in Syracuse, N.Y. “Ladies and gentlemen, the largest ever one-year cut in American history on the deficit.”
                                          Left unsaid was the fact that the deficit was so high in the first place because of pandemic relief spending, including a $1.9 trillion economic aid package the president pushed through Congress in 2021 and which was not renewed. Mr. Biden was in effect claiming credit for not passing another round of emergency assistance.

                                          But TRUMP!!

                                          Mr. Biden’s economic exaggerations generally pale in comparison to the tales spun by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump. The former president, whose lies included insisting that he did not lose the 2020 election and that the Capitol was not attacked by his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, regularly boasted of “the greatest economy in the history of the world” — a statement not based on any facts. Mr. Trump also said his giant tax cut package paid for itself when it did not, and he relied on outlandish economic growth projections to make his budgets balance.
