@Jolly said in Biden's Lies:
I thought Beau died in Afghanistan.
Or was it storming the beach at Normandy?
Yes, while fighting the fire in the kitchen.
But to President Biden defense, hasn't he also said that he believes that the trash fires the Army used in Iraq may have caused the brian cancer?
From what I have read, everything on base was burned in those trash fires and the smoke created was pretty nasty.
The preliminary results from our study about the exposure to burn pits and environmental toxins from the war in Iraq published in April 2020 entitled “A Pilot Study of Airborne Hazards and Other Toxic Exposures in Iraq War Veterans” suggests that further exploration into this topic is critical in gaining a deeper understanding of the origins and causes for negative health outcomes among Veterans of recent wars [1]. Some of these Veterans, as well as local civilian populations, were exposed to both environmental and man-made chemicals and toxins, especially the more hazardous airborne variety. Airborne toxins represent the main class of exposures reported by men and women who served in conflicts in locations throughout the Middle East including both Iraq, and Afghanistan. This includes particulate matter from aviation and diesel exhaust fumes, combat-related smoke from ground ordnance and air strikes, dust storms, on-base contact with open-air burn pits, and oil-well fires [2].

Miss, that's a far, far reach.

Not really.
Joe Biden grew animated in the congressional conference room in 2016 as, for the first time, he publicly connected the brain cancer that had killed Beau Biden to the toxic burn pits his son had been exposed to during his service in the military.
But Biden, who was tapped by former President Barack Obama in early 2016 to lead the “Cancer Moonshot” initiative, noted in the PBS NewsHour interview that “a lot higher incidence of cancer [is] coming from Iraq now and Afghanistan than in other wars” and “a lot of work is being done” to research it.
Biden also said that reading “The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers,” a book on the topic by Joseph Hickman, which included a chapter on his son Beau, opened his eyes to the possibility of a link to his son’s cancer.
“There’s a whole chapter on my son Beau in there, and that stunned me. I didn’t know that,” Biden said. He added, the author “went back and looked at Beau’s tenure as a civilian with the U.S. attorney’s office [in Kosovo] and then his year in Iraq. And he was co-located in both times near these burn pits.”
etc.

Existing statistics do not indicate that Iraq veterans are more affected by brain cancer than other veteran groups, although no comprehensive data is available to definitively say one way or the other.

It's all speculation and, in Biden's case, self-aggrandizing pandering.

As I have said before, being the press secretary for a president has got to be one of the worse jobs to have. LOL
White House Press Secretary Karine Jeane-Pierre on Tuesday dodged a question on President Biden’s mental and physical health after the president appeared to confuse French President Emmanuel Macron with French President François Mitterrand, who has been dead for nearly 30 years.

President Joe Biden lashed out at Robert Hur last week over one particular line in the special counsel's report on his handling of classified documents: that Biden "did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died."
“How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
But Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death, they said.
Biden raised his son’s death after being asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018, the sources said, when a ghost writer was helping him write a memoir about losing Beau to brain cancer in 2015. Investigators had a 2017 recording showing that Biden had told the ghost writer he had found “classified stuff” in that home, the report says.
Release the transcript.

They really need to replace him with somebody with better mental acuity and health.
Is Carter still around?

We've got folks right here - supposedly intelligent people - that make all kids of excuses for The Resident.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Yes, that was pretty stupid of him to talk about, and even more stupid that they want to try and regulate.

An extension of the idea the government should be in charge of everything and is responsible for solving all problems, no matter how trivial.
It's the Democrat Way!

Did he lie to a federal agent?
Fresh out of law school and working as a clerk at a high-powered Wilmington, Delaware, law firm, Biden, in his telling, was tapped to defend a construction company sued by a 23-year-old welder who "lost part of his penis and one of his testicles" to a fire that broke out when he was working inside a chimney at a Delaware City plant. Thanks to Biden’s shrewd legal defense on the construction company’s behalf, the injured man lost the case.
"I wrote this memo. And son of a b—, it prevailed," Biden told Hur on Oct. 8. "And I looked over at that kid…and I thought, ‘son of a b—, I’m in the wrong business, I'm not made for this.’"
Biden said he was so wracked with guilt that he concocted an excuse to avoid a celebratory lunch with one of the firm’s named partners and walked into the public defender’s office to ask for a job that very day. It’s "the only time I ever lied," Biden told Hur on Oct. 8. Thus began, according to a New York Times report on the special counsel interview, "a career that would one day take him to the White House."
But this story is almost certainly a complete work of fiction.
Although Biden did work at a law firm tapped to defend a construction company in a negligence suit like the one he described to Hur, the case concluded in 1968, while Biden was still in law school. And the welder won, walking away with $315,000, more than $2.8 million in 2024 dollars.
And another lie to a federal agent:
Over the years, Biden has told different versions of the welder story. He told Hur that he received several offers from "prestigious law firms," one of which he landed because of his good looks. Biden says he accepted a job at Prickett, Ward, Burt & Sanders but could not begin work until he passed the bar exam and started as a law clerk at the firm.
In his 2007 memoir, however, Biden says he had very few job prospects after his 1968 graduation from Syracuse University Law School and that Prickett took a chance on him, offering him a role despite his poor grades—including the F he received in a torts class after he was caught plagiarizing.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
