True story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Basically, any news organization that\u2019s looked into \u200cit has realized it\u2019s bunk.<\/p>\n<p>The conductor Biden talked about (he\u2019s named him in other versions,\u2062 no nonsense about \u201cembarrassing him\u201d then) died in \u20642014 \u2014 before Biden became vice president\u200c \u2014 and\u200d had retired 20 years before that.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone around Biden has to know the story is \u2062false.

The only serious question for those who\u2062 follow politics is whether Biden\u2019s dishonesty works in their\u200b favor.<\/p>\n<p>In the Democratic case, it has\u200b been useful, since \u2063Biden, \u2064as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Robert Bork in 1987 and Clarence Thomas in 1991 created the blood-lust atmosphere that\u2062 surrounds \u200bRepublican Supreme Court nominations today.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic lies and libel\u2062 that smeared now-Supreme \u200bCourt Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/majority-swing-voters-democrats-abused-kavanaugh-used-allegations-political-gain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brett Kavanaugh<\/a> in 2018 can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-u-s-service-members-injured-in-iran-backed-rocket-attacks-in-syria\/\" title=\"Three U.S. Service Members Injured in Iran-Backed Rocket Attacks in Syria\">traced directly back<\/a> to\u200d the Biden-Ted Kennedy smears of Bork during the\u2064 Reagan administration. (The late journalist George Neumayr \u200bexplained it neatly in\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/campaign\/517743-joe-biden-the-father-of-borking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> in 2020.)<\/p>\n<p>So even Democrats have to know Biden is a liar. And Americans who\u2019ve heard him\u2063 tell story after debunked story have to know it, too. It\u2019s been true his entire career.<\/p>\n<p>But at this point, \u2063something has changed. Biden\u2019s lies have been exposed too many times \u2014 particularly the Amtrak story \u2014 for anyone to expect they\u2019ll be \u2063believed \u2014 unless\u200d that individual actually believes them himself.<\/p>\n<p>The man who holds the presidency at the moment isn\u2019t simply a boastful \u200cstretcher of the truth. He\u2019s not just a congenial con man. What that story to a British\u200c podcaster\u2063 published Monday \u200dshowed was that Biden is simply disconnected from reality.<\/p>\n<p>As evidence of\u2062 his own and his family\u2019s corruption becomes more \u200bpublic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-hunter-bidens-business-partner-testifies-damning-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">and more damning<\/a>, as the failure of his own presidency from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/thanks-joe-biden-cost-fourth-july-cookout-reaches-record-high-thanks-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the economy<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blue-state-residents-asked-make-massive-sacrifice-border-crossers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immigration<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/worse-obamas-red-line-biden-gives-putin-green-light-invade-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foreign policy<\/a> becomes more and more unavoidable, it\u2019s becoming \u2062increasingly clear Biden himself is not even close to operating with the mental acuity required of one of the world\u2019s\u200b most\u200c demanding jobs\u200b \u2014 or its least demanding jobs for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/biden-talks-bullies-grandchildren-compromise-shetty-podcast-2023-07-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>, Petty\u2019s production\u2064 is the No. 1 mental health podcast in\u2062 the United\u2064 States.<\/p>\n<p>With Monday\u2019s publication, Petty \u2063hit\u200c paydirt.<\/p>\n<p>A mental\u200b health basket case, masquerading as a United States president.<\/p>\n<p>If this is really what Democrats are running on in 2024, the Republican field looks better every day.<\/p>\n<p>The post\u200d <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-tells-lie-repeats-infamous-joey-baby-story-fact-checked-countless-outlets\/\">Biden Tells Lie as He Repeats Infamous \u2063&#8217;Joey, Baby&#8217; Story That&#8217;s Been Fact Checked by Countless Outlets<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden unintentionally became a case study during his interview with mental health-focused podcaster Jay Shetty.
