President Biden is a self-described “gaffe machine.” That’s no excuse, of course, for a president making false or misleading statements. Readers have asked for fact checks of a variety of recent Biden statements, but none of them seemed big enough for a stand-alone fact check. So here’s a roundup of some of the president’s recent errors of fact, made as he has barnstormed the country boosting Democrats and raising contributions in advance of the midterm elections. We generally do not award Pinocchios for roundups like this — but for reasons that will become clear, we need to make an exception for the first one.
“Folks, I spent a lot of time — more time with Xi Jinping than any other head of state. … I’ve traveled 17,000 miles with him.” (snip)
Why is this significant? Readers may recall that during Donald Trump’s presidency, we established a new category, the Bottomless Pinocchio, to account for false or misleading statements repeated so often that they became a form of propaganda. A statement would get added to the list if it had earned a Three or Four Pinocchios rating and been repeated at least 20 times. By the end of the Trump presidency, 56 claims made by Trump had qualified. (snip)
“Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 — down from over $5 when I took office.” (snip)
“On my watch, for the first time in 10 years, seniors are getting an increase in their Social Security checks.” (snip)
“You are probably aware that I just signed a law that is being challenged by my Republican colleagues. … What we’ve provided for is, if you went to school, if you qualified for a Pell Grant … you qualify for $20,000 in debt forgiveness.

Anyone else notice the WaPo has been suddenly putting out these negative Biden stories just before the Republican wave? I don’t think this is a coincidence or happenstance. It sure seems like the deep state has now decided that Calamity Joe is no longer of value, and has to go.
81 million votes without massive fraud can’t be wrong...
If reporters kept track of Biden like they did Trump Biden would easily exceed Trump. Biden pinning the medal on the soldier who said “I don’t want it sir”, Beau dying in Iraq, conductor on Amtrak who reminded Biden how many miles he traveled, Biden using the supposed inability of private citizens to buy cannons during revolutionary war ( some cities had ordinances when private citizens could fire cannons), getting arrested in South Africa, coal mining etc.. That is just off the top of my head. With true diligence it would be a long list!
Joe and Harris were the throwaways for the 2020 election. If the steal was uncovered they were easily thrown under the bus. If the implementation of the lefts takeover of America was thwarted they were easily thrown under the bus. Those two are just the latest useful idiots employed by the left. The WP issues forth nothing that is not approved by the left since they are part of the left’s propaganda apparatus. Wouldn’t surprise me if they got rid of Joe and Harris so Pelosi could reign temporarily to institute their final solution. She too is a throwaway due to her age, and her ego would overcome any common sense that would tell her it was a mistake.
Eeny Meenie, Minee, MO.....American voters are on the go...Out to voting tomorrow they head,....with destroying the current Democrat Party, they all dread!!! Biden, Obama, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of their hateful flock, must be put aside if America is to rock!!! American voters go do your thing, and the American bells with freedom & greatness will once again ring!!!
Go, Trumpo, Go, GOP. GO, MAGA...forever!!!
Remember...big Trump Campaign Rally in Dayton, Ohio today....BE THERE, American Patriots....”ALL”!!!
Could it be the DeepSnake wants a GOP victory tomorrow? That way the Repubs get the blame for everything bad in the next 2 years.
How could you have forgotten Corn Pop ? He was such a bad dude! LOL
One school of thought holds that the Deep State wants and needs a whole fresh ticket in 2024. They know full well that the Biden experiment has blown up in their face. One way to get it is to concede 2022 to the gop, knowing they can manage them and sustain only temporary setbacks at their feckless hands. It would be a thorough and well deserved repudiation of the incompetent and counter productive Biden/Harris regime, thus clearing the way politically for stronger younger even more leftwing candidates soon after the election is over.
the only major “fraud” in the election was how easy they made it to vote. Sending everybody absentee ballots and turning a blind eye to vote harvesting meant that people who would never take 5 minutes to vote ended up voting, because it was so easy. Just take the mail you got, check off a box for Biden, sign it, and send it back.
And then judges deciding that voting was so important, and COVID so bad, that rejecting ballots because they were not signed, or the signatures did not match, was a bad thing, and so they threw out election law.
It is likely most of the votes were from valid people. Whether old people in nursing homes chose their own pick is a bigger question, hard to ask people who are senile or dead .
Trump also got a lot more votes than ever before.
“My wife and daughter were killed by a guy who drank his lunch.”
Way too little and way, way too late . . .
WaPo says that they gave Trump 56 “bottomless Pinnochios” because he repeated at least 20 times something that WaPo gave three or four Pinnochios. Notice they did not say that Trump said something false.
I wonder how many of the items on WaPo’s Trump list were either actually true statements or were exaggerations of something inconsequential. I would like to see the list.
“ It is likely most of the votes were from valid people. Whether old people in nursing homes chose their own pick is a bigger question, hard to ask people who are senile or dead .”
This might be true for most of the votes that were counted before the 11 pm to 4 AM shut downs in the huge counting centers in the red cities in the battleground states. IMHO the bags of votes that came in during that shut down had been held back because they were of questionable (or no) validity. Once they were commingled with valid votes, there was no way to separate them out.
Dems hoped that their normal ways of cheating would have been enough to win in 2020 but they were was not.
