Joe Biden makes bizarre false claim that a black man invented the light bulb, 'not a white guy named Edison'

Joe Biden on Thursday said that a black man created the light bulb, 'not a white guy named Edison' during a speech while in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Biden made the remark at the Grace Lutheran Church while speaking with community leaders after a private meeting with the family of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old father who was shot seven times in front of his children this month.

He traveled to the embattled city after President Trump made an appearance earlier this week, despite push back from local leaders and the Blake family refusing to meet with him.

Not untold, just not read or not studied. Some say that history is written by the victors. Who do they expect to write it the losers? Vested interests will always try to erase or re-write history. We are seeing this now with blm-antifa. Only the weak minded will go along with this. Are you weak minded?

“There is now frickin way this brain dead buffoon is 12 points ahead in polls. I’m calling b.s.”

I am with you, I, myself, don’t think that Biden has ever been ahead of President Trump. I remember the day of the election of 2016, the MSM had Hillary winning by 98 percent and they showed a picture of little Billy Boy jumping up and down like a kid...couldn’t wait to get back into the White House. I have NO FAITH in any polls.

Edison did invent the record player in 1877 l heard.


Many don’t like Edison, he was by many accounts, ‘not a nice man’. But, in my opinion, his invention of the phonograph was very profound. Unlike the light bulb, which was a radical improvement on something humans had done for ages, light up the dark, or the telegraph, which just sent messages faster, the phonograph did something that humans had never before accomplished—record a fleeting sound.

We don’t really know what Lincoln’s or Washington’s voices sounded like and unless someone invents a time machine, we never will know. But we do know what Edison’s voice sounded like reciting ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’.

Edison sent people around the world to record the voices and sounds of the famous. The found the bugler who blew the same bugle to start the charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War.

“Worst is that many on our team do it”

Back in June, Glenn Beck and Larry Schweikert were beating that drum and throwing my poor ancestors under the bus. Yours too, wardaddy. The two of them were insisting that America doesn’t start with Jamestown Virginia, the oldest continous colony of British North America.

And the reason that they gave is because Jamestown was “evil” since racism and slavery took root there, whereas it didn’t with God’s own people up in Massachusetts a decade later, where they walked around polishing their halos when they weren’t banishing heretics and drowning witches. Amen.
