Daniel Dale – CNN Apr 24, 2024
President Joe Biden has revived a debunked tale about his past – his fictional claim that he used to drive an 18-wheeler truck.
Biden has repeatedly embellished or invented biographical tidbits. In 2021, he claimed during a tour of a Mack Trucks facility: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” then added, “I got to.” At a separate 2021 event, he told college students studying truck technology, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” adding, “I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.”
Biden’s claims were fact-checked at the time as false. But on Tuesday, during a campaign event in Florida, Biden said it again.
A supporter told him, “The only reason I have a pension is because of you.” (The supporter appeared to be referring to the Biden administration’s $36 billion in aid to prevent steep pension cuts for more than 350,000 union workers and retirees, including truck drivers.) Biden responded: “Well, we did get that done. Anyway. Besides, I used to drive an 18-wheeler.”
Facts First: Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler.
When CNN inquired about the claim in 2021, the White House noted that Biden once had a part-time job driving a school bus (which is not an 18-wheeler or a tractor-trailer) and that, as a US senator in 1973, he spent a night riding in a cargo truck (not driving it).
Biden’s Tuesday rendition of the “18-wheeler” claim came the week after he made some other inaccurate personal claims during a campaign swing in Pennsylvania.
He said last week that he has “never” earned $400,000 in a year, though he has done so every year of his presidency and made millions in each of 2017 and 2018. He also offered a dramatic account of the death of his uncle in a World War II plane crash – saying the plane was shot down and suggesting his uncle’s body was consumed by cannibals – that is at odds with the Defense Department’s account of the 1944 incident.
Redacted says Biden recently read out the word “pause” instead of taking a pause. It’s no longer funny it’s just sad.
Our NeoBolshevik puppet. Not much more than a cardboard cutout. While the Jews run things from behind the curtain.
It just shows how corrupt and degenerated the MSM is that they refuse to report and/or criticize Biden for the “exaggerations” aka, lies he repeatedly tells over and over. Yet, he is never confronted to explain his lies by any news service or reporter. Putting this dolt on the spot when he lies would give a true picture into just how far his mind has melted. He has always been a serial liar but back in the day he knew what he was doing. The world forgot he was a plagiarizing liar when he had to suspend his campaign for President on 2 other occasions. Dogs never change their spots so the saying goes.
….or that time Biden flew an F35 over Syria with a nuke on board….

As an aside, I watched one of my many saved trashy, but often inadvertently informative, UFO programmes last night. It centred on the 1965 Edwards’ AFB UFO sighting. An event corroborated by multiple witness, radar tracking, and a declassified audio recording.
The upshot was — or not shot — was that the jets at the base there were only equipped with “nuclear missiles”. It took ninety minutes for the UFOs to be “chased away” by a suitably “non-destructive” military aircraft. A very suspicious delay IMO. And as per my counter to mainstream ufology arguing that ETs are “interested” in our nukes, I argue that by assigning “alien status” to UFOs, it serves as a mindspace corroboration of the “existence” of said ordinance. If, as I firmly believe, nukes are a myth, WTF are putative ETs doing around these places?
As a supplementary thought: maybe the ufonaut back in 1965 was Joe Biden taking time off from being a truck driver and moonlighting as an ET impersonator?
