and-counting/

=====

249. Biden Says He Taught At Classes At The University Of Pennsylvania

During a Sept. 14 speech, Biden claimed he taught "political theory" at the University of Pennsylvania. Despite being named an 
honorary professor and receiving nearly $1 million from the university, there is no evidence Biden ever taught classes at UPenn. 

248. Biden Says He Visited Ground Zero Day After 9/11/2001

During a 9/11 remembrance speech in Anchorage, Alaska, Biden claimed he visited ground zero just one day after terrorists crashed 
into the twin towers.

"Ground zero in New York - I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking 
through the gates of hell," Biden said.

At the time, Biden was a U.S. senator from Delaware. He was one of the hundreds of members of Congress who convened in Washington 
D.C. on Sept. 12,2001 to condemn the attack.

Biden's 2007 memoir "Promises To Keep" confirms his presence at the Capitol on Sept. 12,2001, not at ground zero.

The White House, when confronted with Biden's lie, offered corporate media a photo of Biden touring the destruction nine days after 
the attack.

247. Biden Claims Half his House 'Almost Collapsed' After a Fire

During an Aug. 30 press conference addressing Hurricane Idalia, Biden falsely claimed he and his family couldn't live at their home 
"for about seven months" after a lightning strike and subsequent fire.

"Lightning struck my house. We had to the be out of that house for about seven months while it was repaired because so much damage 
was done to the house and half the house almost collapsed," the president claimed.

A quick scroll through this lie tracker demonstrates this isn't the first time Biden has issued this made-up story. According to an 
Associated Press report, the lightning strike Biden often refers to caused a "small" kitchen fire at his Delaware home in 2004 and 
was contained by firefighters within 20 minutes.

246. Biden Claims He Convinced Strom Thurmond To Support The Civil Rights Act

During an Aug. 28 White House event, Biden falsely claimed he "literally, not figuratively," talked former South Carolina Sen. 
Strom Thurmond into "voting for the Civil Rights Act" before the latter died.

There are numerous holes in the president's baseless claim, the first of which is the fact that Biden was only 21 years old when 
the Civil Rights Act passed on June 19,1964. Biden wasn't elected to the U.S. Senate until he was 29. Moreover, Thurmond not only 
voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act; he died decades after the measure's passage (in 2003).

245. Biden Claims His House Was Lost in a Fire

In an Aug. 21 attempt to compare his own experiences to the suffering endured by the victims of the Maui wildfires, Biden claimed 
he and first lady Jill Biden know "what it's like to lose a home" by repeating a made-up story about a house fire at one of his 
residences nearly 20 years ago. According to a 2004 Associated Press report, the "small" kitchen fire at Biden's Delaware home was 
caused by a lightning strike and contained by firefighters within 20 minutes.

244. Biden Pretends He Saw Pittsburgh Bridge Collapse

In an economic-themed speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Aug. 15, Biden told attendees that he saw a Pittsburgh bridge crumble in 
2022.

"I watched that bridge collapse," Biden said. "I got there and saw it collapse."

The catastrophe, which left nearly a dozen injured, happened "hours before" Biden arrived in the city to give a talk on 
infrastructure.

243. Biden Caught In Inflation Lie

Biden repeatedly told Americans in the summer of 2022 that the Democrats' ill-named "Inflation Reduction Act" was "the strongest 
bill you can pass" to "lower inflation."

After 12 more months of rising inflation, Biden announced on August 10,2023 that his pet legislation was not designed to reduce 
inflation.

"I wish I hadn't called it that because it has less to do with reducing inflation than it does to do with dealing with providing 
for alternatives that generate economic growth," Biden admitted at a fundraiser event.

242. Biden Claims Credit for Job Creation After Covid Lockdowns

The White House has been quick to claim credit for "jobs created" in the aftermath of coronavirus closures.

A majority of those jobs, however, credited to "Bidenomics," are the result of jobs coming back once the economy reopened. In fact, 
according to the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, "Trump's job record after 30 months in office was 46,000 per month HIGHER than 
Biden's - or by 36 percent."

241. Biden Claims There Are Nine Wonders of the World

While speaking at an event on Aug. 8,2023, Biden falsely claimed the Grand Canyon is "one of the earth's nine wonders - wonders of 
the world."

First, there are only Seven Wonders of the World, not nine. Secondly, the Grand Canyon is not considered to be one of them.

240. Biden Claims He Ended Cancer

While speaking at a White House event on July 25,2023, Biden claimed that his administration "ended cancer as we know it."

"I said I'd cure cancer they looked at me like, why cancer? Because we can. We ended cancer as we know it," the president said.

Contrary to Biden's incorrect assertion, there is currently no known cure for cancer.

239. Biden Falsely Claims Real Wage Gains Since Covid

On July 16, Biden claimed on Twitter that "real wages for the American worker is higher" than pre-pandemic wages, with "lower wage 
workers seeing the largest gains."

Prior to the Covid lockdowns, real wages adjusted for inflation were higher than today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
(BLS). Real wages in March of 2020 were $11.12, while as of July 12,2023, the BLS reported real wages were $11.05. Real wages for 
nonsupervisory positions did rise over the same period, however, from $9.59 to $9.68.

As Biden's tweet said, "That's Bidenomics."

238. Biden Takes Credit For Trump's Suicide Hotline

In a July 16 tweet, Biden claimed it was "our Administration's 988 suicide and crisis hotline" that is responsible for helping "5 
million Americans when they needed it most."

Affixed to the inaccurate statement was a Twitter "community note" declaring that it was under former President Donald Trump that 
988 was designated the universal number for those experiencing a mental health crisis and suicide ideation.

237. Biden Falsifies Job Creation Record

Biden claimed in a July 7,2023, tweet his administration has overseen "ore jobs added in two and a half years than any president 
has ever created in a four-year term." The claim was accompanied by a graphic, which reads, "13.2 million jobs added under 
President Biden" and "13.2 million reasons Bidenomics is working."

Contrary to the president's claim, his administration has not "created" 13.2 million jobs. Biden is conflating the jobs recovered 
after the country emerged from Covid lockdowns with actual, new jobs created. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 158.7 
million Americans were employed in February 2020, before the pandemic hit. As of June 2023, roughly 161 million were employed, 
meaning there's only been a net gain of about 2.3 million jobs since February 2020.

It's also worth mentioning that the jobs recovery began under former President Donald Trump, not Biden.

236. Biden Fabricates Manufacturing Success

President Biden routinely boasts about his administration's success in driving a boom in American manufacturing.

"While our work isn't finished, Bidenomics is already delivering for the American people," the White House said in late June. "Our 
economy has added more than 13 million jobs - including nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs - and we've unleashed a manufacturing and 
clean energy boom."

A chart from the Department of the Treasury, however, dispels the administration's myth of a domestic renaissance in manufacturing. 
While the administration has pumped billions of taxpayer dollars into the industry, the trajectory for construction spending 
remains virtually unchanged when inflation is taken into account.

"Nominal construction spending has risen consistently since the onset of the pandemic, but much of this increase is attributable to 
a sharp rise in the increase of both labor and materials costs in constructions," the Treasury Department explained.

235. Biden Doubles Down On Deals Lie

When asked on June 26,2023 whether he ever lied about "never speaking to Hunter about his business deals," President Joe Biden 
replied "No."

Biden's repeated denial comes after years of mounting evidence suggests the Biden family leveraged their patriarch's position in 
the White House to line their pockets with foreign cash.

It also comes mere days after text messages detailing Hunter Biden's threat to a Chinese Communist Party official that 'my 
father... the man sitting next to me and every person he knows" could "hold a grudge" if "promises and assurances that have been 
made that have not been kept."

"I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," the message, 
uncovered in an IRS whistleblower testimony last week, reads. "I am very concerned that the Chairman has either changed his mind 
and broken our deal without telling me or that he is unaware of the promises and assurances that have been made that have not been 
kept."

234. Biden Tells His Naval Academy Tale Again

While speaking at the Air Force Academy's June 1,2023, graduation ceremony, Biden claimed he "applied to the Naval Academy" and 
"was picked by a senator," despite there being no evidence those things happened. He told a similar tale last year at the Naval 
Academy's graduation ceremony, when he claimed he was "appointed to the Academy in 1965." That narrative was obviously false, as 
Biden graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965.

233. Biden Says He Has 'Four Granddaughters'

President Biden said he has "four granddaughters" but he actually has five.

232. Biden Says RNC Chair Claimed U.S. Debt Default Was Good For Republicans

During a May 24 Fox News interview, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel was asked by host Martha MacCallum about the 
upcoming 2024 presidential race. In her response, McDaniel raised several examples of Biden's flailing presidency - including the 
commander-in-chief's refusal to negotiate with House Republicans on the debt ceiling - and indicated any potential default on the 
debt would be Biden's fault.

"You look at us about to default, and you see that president took 90 days out from negotiating. He refused to come to the table 
with Republicans," McDaniel said. "Republicans have put a plan on the table and this is an MIA president when it comes to problems 
that the American people are facing - whether it's energy independence, whether it's fentanyl, whether it's a broken border, 
whether it's crime surging in our streets."

"This is a president that is failing the American people. So I think that bodes very well for the Republican field," she added.

Biden shared a graphic on Twitter the following day with an intentionally distorted and untrue headline that reads, "RNC Chair 
Ronna McDaniel Says Possible U.S. Default 'Bodes Very Well for the Republican Field' in 2024."

"It sounds like the head of the Republican Party thinks that's a price worth paying to elect Republicans," the president tweeted 
over a month after House Republicans passed a bill raising the debt ceiling.

231. Biden Says Son Died in Iraq

President Joe Biden said his son died in Iraq again at a May 18 speech to troops in Japan.

"My son was a major in the U.S. Army," Biden said. "We lost him in Iraq."

Biden's son, Beau, died of brain cancer in 2015, four years after the war in Iraq ended in 2011.

230. Biden Claims He Formed the Quad Alliance

While speaking at the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 21, Biden claimed he created the "Quad," an alliance between the U.S., 
Japan, Australia, and India.

"I doubt many people ... would've said that two years after being elected, I'd be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the 
United States to form an organization called the Quad," Biden said.

Despite Biden's fantastical assertion, the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue ("the Quad") was formally initiated in 2007, with 
assistance from former Vice President Dick Cheney, and re-established in 2017 during the Trump administration.

229. Biden White House Claims Illegal Border Crossing Down by '90 Percent'

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday, May 1 that under Biden, illegal border crossings are down "by more 
than 90 percent."

Contrary to the White House's claims, illegal border crossings are increasing and have been at historic highs since Biden took 
office. In 2022 alone, more than 2 million migrants were caught trying to sneak across the U.S.-Mexico border.

When confronted by Fox News's Peter Doocy on May 2 about the inaccurate data she shared, KJP doubled down.

228. Biden Claims He Has Six Grandchildren

During a "Take Your Child to Work Day" event on April 27,2023, Biden falsely claimed he had six grandchildren.

"I have six grandchildren. And I'm crazy about them. I speak to them every single day, not a joke," Biden said. "As a matter of 
fact, I just got finished going through the calls. And only one of them answered the phone."

Biden actually has seven grandchildren. Four years ago, the president's son, Hunter Biden, fathered a daughter out-of-wedlock with 
a stripper. Hunter has since been fighting in court with the girl's mother to prevent his daughter from taking the Biden surname.

227. Biden Says He Was Born in the Same Hospital Where His Grandfather Died

During an April 25,2023, speech at the Washington Hilton, Biden claimed he was born in the same hospital his grandfather had died 
in two weeks prior.

"My grandpop, who I never met, died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born," he said. "My grandpop was, as 
they say in Maryland, from 'Baltimer.'"

According to The Baltimore Sun, however, the president's grandfather, Joseph H. Biden, died in Maryland in September 1941 - over a 
year before President Joseph R. Biden was born in Pennsylvania.

226. Biden Says He's Done More Than Any Other President to Lower Energy Costs

President Biden said at a March 9,2023 speech in Philadelphia that he's taken "the most aggressive action ever - in all of history 
in any country - to take on the climate crisis by lowering your home energy bills."

According to the Labor Department, home energy prices are up more than 23 percent from the month Biden took office.

225. Biden Says Republicans Are Behind 'Defund Police'

President Biden also claimed in Philadelphia that "MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police department."

In 2020, polling showed defunding police was a majority opinion among Democrats. The Biden White House has tried to flip the script 
on who wanted to defund police before.

224. Biden Says He Was 'Involved' in Civil Rights Movement

Biden repeated the lie about his involvement in the civil rights movement at a White House event honoring Black History Month.

"As my buddy from Delaware can tell you, when you're involved in the civil rights movement as a kid in high school," Biden said, 
going on to ramble about how he was a teenage activist.

During his 1970s campaign for president, however, Biden disputed his participation in the movement.

"I was not an activist," Biden said at a Washington press conference in September 1978. "I worked at an all-black swimming pool in 
the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was 
not out marching. I was not down in Selma, I was not anywhere else."

Federalist Senior Editor David Harsanyi also outlined Biden's close alliances with segregationist senators here.

223. Chuck Schumer Is Minority Leader

Before his State of the Union speech even began, Biden greeted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as "Senate minority leader." 
Schumer has been the majority leader since Biden took office in 2021.

222. More Jobs Created in Two Years Than Any Other President

"I actually created, with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs," Biden said during his State of the Union 
address. "More jobs created in two years than any president has created in four years. Because of you."

Biden didn't create new jobs, as he often likes to claim. The only reason the job rate is growing is that millions of people are 
returning to work after tyrannical bureaucrats shut down the economy for months in the name of stopping the spread of Covid-19.

221. Fastest Growth in 40 Years

On Feb. 7,2023, during his annual speech to Congress, Biden repeated his infamous lie that he initiated the "fastest job growth in 
40 years."

Records show, however, that employment from May 2020 to January 2021 under Trump grew by 12.5 million. During approximately that 
same time period, the unemployment rate also declined by 8.3 percent.

In January alone, American payroll jobs under Biden fell by more than 2.5 million.

220. Inflation Is 'Coming Down'

Another lie Biden repeated during his State of the Union address is that inflation in the U.S. "is coming down."

Yet, two years after the president greenlit the beginning of Democrats' expensive spending spree, Americans are suffering from gas 
prices still well above $3 per gallon, weathering a recession, and paying 60 percent more for eggs than they did in 2021. Biden may 
not be responsible for the fastest job growth in the last four decades, but inflation under his watch rose at its fastest rate in 
40 years.



Biden tried to blame the nation's economic misfortune on the pandemic and the "unfair and brutal war in Ukraine," but the truth is, 
inflation in the U.S. directly coincides with the time he took office.

219. Democracy Faced 'Greatest Threat Since Civil War' on Jan. 6

President Biden forgot about the attacks on Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the repeat episodes of violence at the Capitol when he claimed 
at the 2023 State of the Union that the riot on Jan. 6,2021, was the "greatest threat since the Civil War." 

Biden made the same hyperbolic claim at his first State of the Union address before Congress in April 2021. 


218. I'm Responsible for the Largest Deficit in U.S. History

Biden wants to take credit for cutting the national deficit "by more than $1.7 trillion - the largest deficit reduction in American 
history" in his first two years in office.

"Under the previous administration, America's deficit went up four years in a row. Because of those record deficits, no president 
added more to the national debt in any four years than my predecessor," Biden said at the 2023 State of the Union.

The truth is, federal spending under Biden increased more than $10 trillion since his first month in office. That's more than any 
other president spent in his first two years in U.S. history.

217. Republicans Are Trying to Cut Social Security

Biden pledged to halt desperately needed cuts to bloated entitlement programs as Congress debates raising the debt ceiling.

"If anyone tries to cut Social Security," the president said during his annual address to Congress, "I will stop them. And if 
anyone tries to cut Medicare, I will stop them."

The Democrats' reconciliation bill passed last summer, however, raided nearly $300 billion from Medicare to boost insurance 
companies by removing leverage from negotiations on drug prices. 

216. Fires Have Burned an Area the Size of Missouri

President Biden tried to claim during his State of the Union speech that more wood had been burned by forest fires than the area of 
the entire state of Missouri. 

"More timber has been burned than I've observed from helicopters than the entire state of Missouri," Biden said.
https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1623149113385668611?s=20&t=6AQV4eb8rfiAxHI84vChoQ

In 2022, however, 7.5 million acres burned, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Missouri's forests span 14 million 
acres, and the state itself is 44.6 million acres large. 

The remark appears to have been made off-script according to what the White House released as the president's prepared speech.

215. Biden Repeats Claim that Fast-Food Workers Sign Noncompete Agreements 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could be seen chuckling in the background at the State of the Union when Biden complained that fast-
food workers were signing noncompete agreements with employers. 

"A cashier at a burger place can't walk across town and take the same job at another burger place and make a few bucks more," Biden 
said. 
https://twitter.com/Johnmcurtis/status/1623153121127022592

Biden made the same claim at a business roundtable in July 2020, earning the then-candidate a "false" rating from PolitiFact. 
214. Biden Blames Crime Wave on Covid After Democrats Defunded Police 

During the 2023 State of the Union, Biden blamed the coronavirus lockdowns for the nation's recent crime wave. 

Covid left scars, the president said, "like the spike in violent crime in 2020, the first year of the pandemic."

It was the Democrats' rush to 'defund police," however, that left cities and neighborhoods vulnerable to criminals who remained 
free to roam the streets. Democrats in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York cut police funding by hundreds of millions of dollars 
over the course of the social justice fever that took over the country. More than a dozen cities saw the highest homicide rates 
ever reported as a result. 

According to a poll from Politico last year, 3 in 4 Americans blamed the crime spree on the efforts to defund police.
213. I Re-Upped Funding for Cancer Research

One of Biden's top priorities going into his 2023 State of the Union speech was his "Cancer Moonshot" initiative, which allocates 
funding to cancer research and care.

"Jill and I reignited the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead," Biden said.

Biden may have restarted the program to "provide more support for patients and families," but it was his pet legislation, the ill-
named Inflation Reduction Act, that cut cancer research spending by nine times as much as his program is supposed to put toward it.
212. Immigration 'Reform' Will Secure the Border 

During his annual address to Congress, Biden pointed to his "new border plan" as evidence that he's finally doing something about 
the millions of illegal border crossers flooding the U.S.

But his plan to grant "legal" status to illegal border crossers from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela only emboldens corrupt 
cartels and does nothing to stop the pipeline of fentanyl responsible for taking American lives, something several hecklers pointed 
out during his speech.

Biden said his "comprehensive immigration reform" would "fix" the national security threat that American border woes have become. 
In reality, that legislation would only encourage the millions of migrants overwhelming Border Patrol agents to keep paying the 
criminal organizations that control northern Mexico to escort them to the U.S.
211. Mass Shootings Went Down After Assault Weapons Ban

Biden claimed during the State of the Union that the federal assault weapons ban, which barred the manufacturing of semi-automatic 
rifles for civilian use from 1994 to 2004, caused mass shootings to drop.

"In the 10 years the ban was law, mass shootings went down. After Republicans let it expire, mass shootings tripled," Biden said.

That's a lie based on a flawed study that claimed the ban reduced mass shooting deaths. Accurate data recorded during the ban shows 
that more so-called mass shootings occurred during the firearm prohibition. Even after the ban expired, mass shootings did not 
increase, as Democrats suggested they would.
210. Life-Saving Pro-Life Laws Are Extreme

During his State of the Union address, Biden wrongfully characterized pro-life legislation in several red states as "extreme" for 
limiting women's ability to kill their unborn babies.

"Already, more than a dozen states are enforcing extreme abortion bans," he said.

In reality, it's Biden's abortion-on-demand throughout all nine of months of pregnancy agenda that is extreme. New polling suggests 
7 in 10 Americans support limiting abortion to the first three months of pregnancy.

Biden also criticized Republicans for trying to pass what he said is a "national abortion ban."

As pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America noted, the GOP has not proposed a total ban on abortions. It has just 
worked to bring U.S. abortion law up to speed with other civilized countries, which recognize abortion beyond 15 weeks gestation as 
a barbaric practice.
209. 'I'm Here to Be President for All Americans'

In addition to promising unity via bipartisan cooperation, Biden falsely claimed during his address to Congress on Feb. 7,2023, 
that he is "here to be president for all Americans."

Yet the few times Biden gave formal addresses in 2022, he demonized the half of the country that didn't vote for him. His smears 
against "MAGA Republicans" shows he has no tolerance for conservative voters or their values.

A president for all wouldn't sic his Department of Justice on parents concerned that their children's education stays 
indoctrination free or a pro-life father who rightfully defended his son from a deranged abortion activist.
208. Biden Claims 'No' Blame For Inflation

Biden refuses to take responsibility for the inflation crippling the nation despite its clear connection to his administration and 
policies.

"Do you take any blame for inflation?" a reporter asked the president on Feb. 3,2023.

"Do I take any blame for inflation? No," Biden replied.

"Why not?" the reporter countered.

"It was already here when I got here, man! Remember what the economy was like when I got here?" Biden asked.

The economy before Biden's inauguration may have suffered from government-mandated lockdowns, but that suffering drastically 
increased in March of 2021 shortly after Biden took office, when the new administration greenlit Congress's $1.9 trillion spending 
bill.

Since then, inflation rose at its fastest rate in 40 years and still hovers far above pre-pandemic price hikes.
207. Biden Says He Began Career as Civil Rights Activist

President Biden told congregants at Georgia's Ebenezer Baptist Church on the Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day that he began 
his career as a mid-20th-century civil rights activist. Biden said he "started off as a 22-year-old kid on the east side in the 
civil rights movement."

On his first campaign for president, however, Biden disputed his participation in the movement.

"I was not an activist," Biden said at a Washington press conference in September 1978. "I worked at an all-black swimming pool in 
the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. I was involved, but I was 
not out marching. I was not down in Selma, I was not anywhere else."
206. Biden Says He Went to a Black Church as a Teen

President Biden also told congregants at the Ebernezer Baptist Church that he went to a predominantly black church as a teenager.

Members of the president's supposed former church, however, don't remember him.
205. Biden Claims He Taught Classes at UPenn

While speaking at the North America Leaders' Summit in Mexico City on Jan. 10, Biden claimed he was a professor at the University 
of Pennsylvania "four years after being vice president." While Biden was paid nearly $1 million by the university, he reportedly 
never taught a class there.
204. Biden Blames J6 Rioters for Capitol Police Officer's Death

During an overtly political speech marking the two-year anniversary of the Jan. 6,2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, Biden falsely 
claimed that Officer William "Billy" Evans died as a result of "threats by these sick insurrectionists."

Contrary to the president's assertion, Evans was killed three months after the Jan. 6 riot in April 2021 by a Nation of Islam 
supporter who killed the officer by running him down with a car. The instance marks the second occasion in which Biden has 
conflated Evans's death with the events of Jan. 6.
203. Biden Says Guns' Only Use Is to 'Kill People'

In a commemorative statement honoring the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, Biden falsely claimed that the only use for weapons 
like those used in the shooting is to "kill people."

"I am determined to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like those used at Sandy Hook and countless other mass 
shootings in America," Biden said in an official statement. "Enough is enough. Our obligation is clear. We must eliminate these 
weapons that have no purpose other than to kill people in large numbers."

Americans have and use guns for a variety of reasons including hunting, range shooting, collecting, deterrence, and protection. In 
some cases, the guns that Biden refers to as "assault weapons" are more effective at activities like hog hunting than other types 
of firearms.

Additionally, those who use guns as self-defense tools are taught not "shoot to kill," but only to shoot if necessary to stop, 
slow, or disarm someone who is threatening their life.
202. Biden Accuses Republicans of Suppressing Voters

"They are trying to succeed where they failed in 2020," Biden said during a speech at Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 
2,2022. "To suppress the right of voters and subvert the electoral system itself. That means denying your right to vote and 
deciding whether your vote even counts. Instead of waiting until the election is over, or starting well before restarting now. 
They've emboldened violence and intimidation of voters and election officials. It is estimated that the more than 300 election 
denier on the ballot all across America this year."

In reality, it's Democrats and Democrat operatives such as Marc Elias who oppose Republican-led election integrity laws around the 
nation and conservative attempts to make voting safer and more secure.

In Georgia, where Biden encouraged businesses to boycott the state over its "Jim Crow 2.0" election integrity law in 2021, early 
voters are turning out in record numbers. Even during early voting in the primaries, Georgia's non-white voter turnout boomed. 
201. White House Says Biden 'Always Condemned Political Violence'

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a room full of corporate media reporters on Nov. 2,2022, that Biden "has 
always, always condemned political violence."

"It doesn't matter, again, if you're a Republican, an independent, or a Democrat," Jean-Pierre said.

Biden has, however, failed to equally apply his condemnation of political violence.

When radical abortion activists violently attacked at least 75 life-saving pregnancy centers and pro-life groups, assaulted at 
least 89 Catholic churches, and threatened to harm Republican-nominated justices following the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson 
opinion leak, Biden failed to personally address it.

Biden was also silent when climate rioters led an insurrection at the Department of the Interior in October 2021.

Even before his presidency, Biden neglected to quickly condemn the rioters, looters, and vandals who inflicted billions of dollars 
worth of damage on the nation's cities in 2020. It took Biden months to condemn those attacks. He was also silent when Democrats 
such as Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker, and Maxine Waters urged violence against Trump and his supporters.

200. Biden Says Incomes Outpaced Inflation Last Quarter

"Although it may not feel that way, people's incomes went up the last quarter more than inflation. Economic growth is up, price 
inflation is down, real incomes are up, and gas prices are down," Biden said during a gubernatorial campaign event for Charlie 
Crist in Florida.

While inflation was up a reported 8.2 percent in September, wages and salaries only increased by 5.1 and 4.2 percent since 
September of last year.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
