CLAIM: President Joe Biden reacted to the Allen, Texas, outlet mall attack by claiming “there have been roughly 200 mass shootings” in America thus far in 2023. VERDICT: FALSE, as long as one adheres to the standard definition of a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more individuals were killed by one attacker in one incident. Biden said, “American communities have suffered roughly 200 mass shootings already this year, according to leading counts.”

Joe Biden is a fabulist. We all know this. And by now it should fail to surprise. Yet it continues to do so, perhaps because his lies are so transparent, and the MSM so willing to spread them. In an interview with The Daily Show’s Kal Penn (who?) Biden dropped some whoppers, but the most striking of them was his utterly ridiculous claim that he had an epiphany about same-sex marriage as a senior in High School. Uh, yeah. Right. His dad apparently supported gay marriage too, in 1960, and explained that love is love to Joe.

During a recent interview, Biden shared an “epiphany” he had back in high school that caused him to support gay marriage and LGBTQ rights. However, despite this personal awakening, Biden’s track record shows that he has not always been supportive of gay marriage, and he has changed his stance over the years. “I can remember exactly when my epiphany was,” Biden started. “I hadn’t thought much about it, to tell you the truth. I was a senior in high school, and my dad was dropping me off. I remember I was about to get out of the car, and I...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Niara Thompson couldn’t shake her frustration as the Supreme Court debated President Joe Biden’s student debt cancellation. As she listened from the audience Tuesday, it all felt academic. There was a long discussion on the nuances of certain words. Justices asked lawyers to explore hypothetical scenarios. For Thompson, none of it is hypothetical. A student at the University of Georgia, she grew up watching her parents struggle with student loans and will graduate with about $50,000 of her own student debt. Thompson and her father are each eligible for $10,000 in relief, she said. It would move...

President Biden wrongly claimed Tuesday that he slashed the national debt by $1.7 trillion — despite increasing it by about $3.84 trillion over his first two years in office. The 80-year-old president made the error — apparently as a result of confusing the terms “debt” and “deficit” — while bashing House Republicans as irresponsible for demanding spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling later this year. “You know you hear ads with the big-spending Joe Biden?” Biden said during a speech in Virginia Beach, Va. “In two years, I reduced the debt $1.7 billion — $1.7 billion. “It’s...

Congressman Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is pushing his colleagues in the House for a vote on whether the U.S. should keep forces in Syria after reports that four U.S. service members were wounded in Syria last week, long after Biden said there were no U.S. troops in that country. "Since the invasion of Ukraine, we seem to have turned our attention away from some of America's entanglement in Syria," Gaetz told Fox News Digital. "And the purpose of my legislation is to force members of Congress to vote on record regarding whether they think we ought to continue Obama's war in...

Michael Weiss and Holger Roonemaa Mon, February 20, 2023 at 5:00 PM CST A leaked internal strategy document from Vladimir Putin’s executive office and obtained by Yahoo News lays out a detailed plan on how Russia plans to take full control over neighboring Belarus in the next decade under the pretext of a merger between the two countries. The document outlines in granular detail a creeping annexation by political, economic and military means of an independent but illiberal European nation by Russia, which is an active state of war in its bid to conquer Ukraine through overwhelming force. “Russia’s goals...

The speech was remarkably similar to last year’s address, riddled with falsehood after falsehood and lie after lie. President Joe Biden mumbled through his second State of the Union address to a divided Congress on Tuesday night. His aim wasn’t just to beg House Republicans to pass Democrats’ legislative wish lists. The president sought to convince Americans that the state of our union — crippled by inflation, overrun by drugs and migrants trafficked across the southern border, and in the midst of a debilitating culture war incited by left-wing aggression — isn’t in dire straits. The speech was remarkably similar...

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump and a number of his top national security and defense officials refuted Biden administration officials' claims that Chinese surveillance balloons briefly transited the continental United States during the Trump administration, saying it "never happened." A defense official on Saturday said Chinese spy balloons briefly traveled over the United States at least three times during the last administration.But Trump and his officials said that did not occur and criticized the Biden administration for spreading disinformation."This never happened. It would have never happened," Trump told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning, adding that Beijing "respected us greatly" under...

President Biden said on Saturday that he had ordered the Pentagon earlier in the week to shoot down the Chinese surveillance balloon traveling over the U.S. “as soon as possible.” “On Wednesday, when I was briefed on the balloon, I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down … as soon as possible,” Biden told reporters in Hagerstown, Md. However, amid concerns about the potential dangers of downing the balloon over land, Biden said his national security officials decided that “the best time to do that was when it got over water.” The U.S. shot down the surveillance balloon off the...

Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride “about 15% of the time” with engineers on trips home to Delaware. The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873. “I can say it now since there’s different leadership. I used to about 15% of the time ride with the engineers, for real. And I’m the only guy that I’m aware...

President Joe Biden on Sunday claimed he attended a black Church in Delaware every morning after he attended Catholic Mass in high school. “I may be a practicing Catholic, we used to go 7:30 am mass every morning in high school and college before I went to the black church,” he said. “Not a joke.” Biden spoke about his personal experience with the black church during a visit to the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia to recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day.

President Joe Biden has lied a lot before and during his presidency. Here are the top 15 most outlandish lies from his career. 1) Law School Grades Biden claimed in 1987 he graduated in the top half of his class at Syracuse College of Law. He was 76th in a class of 85. 2) Arrested in South Africa Biden falsely claimed in 2022 he was arrested for trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa. The Washington Post marks this claim as false. 3) First Job In 2021, Biden claimed in Idaho his “first job offer” was from a local...

President Biden claimed Friday that his uncle Frank Biden won the Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II — but there’s no evidence of the award and key details of the story are chronologically impossible. The 80-year-old commander-in-chief has a habit of sharing false or embellished personal anecdotes to build a connection with his audiences and told his latest apparent tall tale during largely unscripted remarks. “My dad, when I got elected vice president [in 2008], he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling...

President Joe Biden attacked the 'extreme' Supreme Court for threatening rights as he signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law Tuesday He also vowed to protect transgender children and 'callous' laws targeting them 'Congress is acting because an extreme Supreme Court has stripped away the rights afforded to millions of Americans that existed for half a century,' he said

President Joe Biden has been back on the campaign trail, traveling in October and early November to deliver his pitch for electing Democrats in the midterm elections on Tuesday. Biden’s pitch has included claims that are false, misleading or lacking important context. (As always, we take no position on the accuracy of his subjective arguments.) Here is a fact-check look at nine of his recent statements. The White House did not respond to a request for comment for this article. Social Security, part 1Biden said at a Democratic fundraiser in Pennsylvania last week: “On our watch, for the first time...

At a fundraising event in Chicago on Friday, President Joe Biden broke his silence on Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, saying the social media platform "spews lies all across the world." The comments were made as Biden warned donors about the long-term effects the upcoming midterm election will have on coming years, Bloomberg reported. "Now what are we all worried about? Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that sends and spews lies all across the world," Biden said, according to multiple reports. He added: "There's no editors anymore. There's no editors. How do we expect kids to be...

There’s a reason I refer to Joe Biden as “His Lying Demented Fraudulence.” Besides being a demented fraud, Biden lies every time his crooked lips move, and he’s been lying to America for a half-century. While speaking about Social Security, Medicare and lowering prescription drug prices in Hollandale, Florida, the liar-in-chief claimed he spoke to the man who invented insulin. There’s only one problem. The main scientists credited for the discovery died before Biden was born. “And, by the way, the guy who, in fact, invented the drug, founded it, patented — he decided not to patent it — I...

In a speech today, President Biden claimed his son Beau "lost his life in Iraq"; Beau Biden served in the Delaware Army National Guard and was deployed to Iraq from 2008 to 2009, and later died in the United States of brain cancer in 2015.
