WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is spinning a convoluted tale of an Amtrak conductor who congratulated him during his vice presidency for logging more miles riding the train home to Delaware than by flying on Air Force Two. “I apologize because some have heard this,” Biden told a crowd Monday in New Jersey, starting up a story he has repeated in various forms at least five times, dating back to the 2020 campaign. “I swear to God. True story,” he said Monday, for emphasis. But it’s a mangled one. By his own accounting, Biden’s Amtrak miles over the years only

Even the Lamestream media is tired to Joe's tall tales.

We should always be skeptical about an old ignoramus like Biden remiscing about the old days and his exploits, but this guy is taking the whole "I walked to school uphill, both ways" routine to a whole new level. Please go back to the basement and watch your reruns of The Flintstones, Mr. President.

A real president with the crisis this buffoon idiot fraud faces Biden should address them when he has microphones but instead tells made up stories about riding on a train with his lunch bucket. We have no government the country is being run by someone not even elected that includes Joe Biden not a president. FJB & the AP fact checkers.

Recently the "plagerist-in-chief" lifted a line from JFK by introducing himself as "Dr Jill's husband". JFK once introduced himself as "I am the man who accompanied Jaqueline Kennedy to Paris". I wonder if bidet has ever had an original thought. I'll parphrase Lloyd Bentsen - I didn't know Jaqueline Kennedy but " Dr" Jill is no Jackie Kennedy

The conductors math is not correct either, must be a public school grad. Using the AP number of 220 miles a day and 40 years of constant use (his entire Senate career and his complete first term as Placeholder) 2 million miles works out to 225 +/- commutes per year, every year, or every Monday thru friday, 52 weeks a year without a single missed trip. Including every single workday that congress is not in session, Thanksgiving, Christmas and every other holiday and probably a couple extra trips just for giggles. Thats also about 5 hours a day on the train. What moron does that for 40 years?

Why Patty Murray is irate at Joe Manchin 24 replies

Even in this white-hot partisan moment, the Senate is a pretty genteel place. Senators view themselves as part of a very elite club -- and tend to treat fellow members with kid gloves. Which is why what Washington Sen. Patty Murray (D) said on Wednesday about fellow Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin all the more eye-opening about the current state of affairs in the world's greatest deliberative body. "We're not going to let one man tell all the women in this country that they can't have paid leave," Murray said. What she was referring to was the apparent decision by the White

Dock workers have long been working day and night to keep the supply chain running.

The U.S. economy slowed substantially in the third quarter amid an armada of obstacles, including a surge in COVID-19 cases, supply-chain bottlenecks, rising consumer prices and the fading effects of federal stimulus measures. But with COVID cases now tumbling and vaccinations rising, most economists are branding the weak showing a soft patch in a still-robust recovery from the pandemic -induced recession, with a healthy rebound projected in the final months of the year.

If the Babylon Bee had been asked to write a “National Gender Strategy” to be posted on the White House’s website, it wouldn’t look any different than the document the Biden administration actually released last Friday. The “fact sheet” contains every buzzword and policy that you would expect to hear from a progressive activist with a degree in gender studies. The four-page document begins by identifying “gender equity” as a “moral and strategic imperative.” Thanks to COVID-19, “we are at an inflection point,” the statement reads, as the pandemic has “magnified the challenges” that women and girls face — “especially

What this means simply is taxing people for money they have not earned or received. That's it in a nutshell. That definition should leave even those who have never had a course in accounting or finance shaken. Not only is Janet Yellen considering this, but the Democrat party is on board as well.
