Will Joe Biden Ever Stop Lying?
By John Kass
August 23, 2023
Remember when CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post and Chicago Tribune—among other liberal media outlets–gathered together and in one loud angry voice decided to tell President Joe Biden to stop lying?
No?
Funny, but I don’t remember it either. Not like I remember their unctuous slogans about how they’re the saviors of American democracy even as they spit on it and warn Americans against committing a “Thought Crime”, and protect political “leaders” who’d sell us out to foreign adversaries like China.
National media has been too busy kissing Joe’s behind to call out his many lies. They protect him from reality until even they must admit that the old man is wandering around with no clothes, the same way that Chicago media kissed Daley’s behind to protect him from the reality that he and the Illinois Democrats were spending bankrupt Chicago and bankrupt Illinois into oblivion.
Reality is tough. It bites those who can’t bite back.
But the other day there was China Joe commiserating with survivors of the Maui wildfires mourning the untold loss of lives and property destroyed by the wildfires in Hawaii. An Obama connected bureaucrat who strongly believes in “water equity” was behind the delay of hours and hours to release water to fight the fires. The people died from idiocy, and politics. And to make it worse, the survivors were lied to by Biden. CNN declared him to be “empathizer in chief.”
Biden couldn’t be bothered to visit Maui for days, until finally he cut short one of his vacations to show up on Maui. And in true China Joe fashion, like the old man at the end of the bar in the neighborhood tavern bragging about his exploits that never happened, Joe made the wildfires all about himself.
Not the people who suffered. But himself. He lied and kept on lying, as is his way.
On Maui after visiting the fire ravaged lands, the president took the opportunity to emote, to ‘connect,’ and like so many of his stories, it was all lies.
“I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, of what it was like to lose a home,” said the president. “Years ago, now, 15 years, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press. It was a sunny Sunday. Lightning struck at home on a little lake outside the home — not a lake, a big pond. It hit the wire and came up underneath our home, into the air condition ducts. To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat.”
He did no such thing. He did not “almost” lose his wife, life and his car and cat. The so called “blaze” at the Biden home (and who paid for it anyway) was put out in about 20 minutes by the local fire department. It was not serious.
But consider. Joe? You almost lost your Corvette and your cat? That means you almost lost the top-secret records you held illegally, didn’t you sir? The records you kept illegally in your garage?
Oh my. A president almost lost his old man car.
Of course, he wouldn’t do this if the media wouldn’t let him off the hook for his lies, which the left-wing corporate media has been doing for years now. The same media that peeled Presidents George Bush and Donald Trump and canonized the sainted Barack Obama for everything have forgiven China Joe for all his sins.
They forgave Biden for the lie about the “drunken” truck driver that hit his family. (The driver was not drunk). And graduating at the top of his class (another lie) and the whopper about being arrested while trying to see Nelson Mandela. And the lies about his sons Beau and Hunter. And the one about how he drove an 18-wheeler. He didn’t.
And it wasn’t only the lie about Mandela—it continued in many forms. From his epic battles with the notorious neighborhood bully “Corn Pop,” to his epic claim he was “raised in the Puerto Rican community.”
Can’t wait to hear how old Joe taught George Chakiris how to knife-fight for the dramatic scene in “West Side Story” and how he wrote the song “I Want to Live in America” while teaching Rita Moreno to dance.
But now as the walls close in on Biden for taking millions upon millions of dollars from China, Ukraine and other snaky foreign sources, Joe’s media friends are beginning to edge away.
And now Republicans are falling over themselves in the hopes of getting to Joe Biden before all the wheels come off his bus and the Democrats force him into retirement or into a straight jacket with his very own presidential drool cup.
As CNN’s Jake Tapper said, former President Donald Trump was right that first son Hunter Biden picked up a fortune from China.
“I mean, Trump was right. I mean, he did make a fortune from China, and Joe Biden was wrong. I don’t know that he was lying about it. He might not have been told by Hunter. But this blind spot is a problem.”
His blind spot Jake?
What about yours? Take the beam from your own eye, putz.
The Democrat Washington Media Complex, of which Tapper is a charter member, has been covering for Joe Biden for years and years. Otherwise, how could an infamous plagiarist continue on in politics for half a century?
Left wing corporate media covered for Biden Inc. They fronted Joe’s lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell was Russian disinformation, though it was not. The media helped him ride that one through the election. What we know now is that Biden Inc. picked up reported tens of millions of dollars in bribes from China, Ukraine, etc.
Joe Biden lied about Hunter. We all know it now. Even the fools of CNN and MSNBC must admit it.
He lied that the laptop was Russian disinformation. He lied when insisting he knew nothing about Hunter’s business deals. He lied when it was finally revealed that Hunter had put him on the phone with sleazy clients at least 20 times, according to witness testimony before Congress.
The Democrats protected him and threatened to imprison those who oppose them politically.
And so, the Delaware Way becomes the Chicago Way becomes the American Way. And now the Democrat Media Complex gets ready to jump ship, like rats. What will they do if they can no longer control the Biden decay?
They’ll call on Michelle Obama, kneel before her, put their foreheads to the ground as she saunters right into the White House.
And everyone gets paid, except of course, taxpayers.
Now you see media edging away from Joe, not completely, but enough. They know what’s going on. They know he’s ill. And they don’t want it to splash up on them. But too late.
What kind of man lies about a little kitchen fire to impress real victims who have lost their children and everything else?
A man who has been taught that his lies are just fine.
What kind of a man lies like this, who uses pseudonyms to do business, who needs shell companies to do business and keep it secret from the people, even while trumpeting himself as a transparent man?
My late father-in-law Donald Joseph Castella didn’t use shell companies or aliases. And my late father, Spyros John Kass never used aliases or shell companies either.
My father was a butcher and worked hard all his life on his feet. My father-in-law was a window washer and built his family their house in Arlington Heights with his own two hands. They fell asleep in their chairs after work. They fought in World War II against the forces of darkness.
My father was shot in the face in Albania. My father-in-law was wounded after the invasion of Normandy, and later during the Battle of the Bulge.
They loved America. They didn’t use shell companies or fake names. They didn’t have big-shot reporters forgiving and cleansing their sins. They worked themselves to death, they played by the rules, they couldn’t miss a day of work because they had bills to pay, and they didn’t lie.
They didn’t have networks and politicians rushing up to give them a break. They didn’t get breaks.
And they weren’t named Biden.

They matter.
Thanks Pat. I think my dad and father-in-law would just simply turn their backs to him
If we had a real “Press” they would have by now reported that Obama was and is on the “take” right along with Joe. How did Obama accumulate $75 Million? And all those homes. His dopey wife should be laughed at for her posturing but the “Press” can’t do it. If she does run she should be laughed at and told to go home as take care of Barry or whatever his name is. One day someone will dig out the truth about the Obamas and publish it. Maybe when they nail Hunter and Joe it will come out. I sure hope so. There is no way Obama did not know what Joe was up to when Joe was Obama’s VP.

Unfortunately, as long as they have control of the media, I don’t see that happening any time soon.
The Chicago Way continues with China Joe!

Looks like Obama is making sure to get the gang back together.
I wonder, Mr. Kass, is there a way to impeach an entire administration?
Maybe give the Moutza to them for August!
Take the beam from your own eye, putz.-love it!
adapted from your most recent Biblical reference, professor!
Mr. Kass, you need to understand the difference between lies and “embellishments.” Joe, like any average politician, is merely playing to his audience.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, Daniel.
Daniel is too addicted to stop drinking that Kool-Aid……and will never see the truth or understand truth and facts.
Hey John, know any political cartoonists? Or has the species died out? I’d like to see a cartoon of Tapper, Madow et al mixing up a big batch of Lib/Elie Kool Aid.
Hunter’s laptop is a Russian operation? That’s an embellishment? I did not know anything about Hunter’s business dealings? That’s an embellishment? The inflation reduction act was meant to reduce inflation? Even lying Joe now admits that was a lie!
Daniel – calling him an “average politician” is an insult to average politicians everywhere.
If he was playing to his audience he might have noticed the disgusted looks on their faces as he lied about his house fire and everything else. Biden is a disgusting awful human.
And when does “playing to his audience” become dangerous, destructive lies? Seriously? I wouldn’t want to stand before God in your shoes or Joe’s shoes on judgement day. The “audience” like yourself live in state of LIES, not embellishments. Voters like yourself are part of the problem.
Who is most responsible for allowing Joe Biden to openly and indiscriminately lie or to be shown to have compromised without consequences his position as the Vice President of the United States to bring millions of dollars to him and his family?
Is it the liberal mainstream media who no longer serves in its once honorable role as the people’s watchdog? Or the millions of American citizens who indifferently believe every word they hear from the same liberal media?
It’s both.
“Take the beam from your own eye, putz.”
Just five minutes in a dark alley (without his SS troops).
We’re the same age. It’d be a fair fight.
I used to love starting my day with a good cup of coffee (or two) and reading the paper to find out what was happening. Don’t think I’ve read a paper since Reagan was in office.
No news in the newspapers, just propaganda.
Powerful stuff, JK. Made me recall some bad timing for America, roughly corresponding to the 1976 movie of “All The President’s Men.” Every young journalist learned that their job was to be a political sleuth — for one side only.
The journalism schools started cranking out devoted Democrat cheerleaders as the Democrats started cranking out devoted liars like the Clintons and the Biden Crime Family. Just when we needed tough reporters uncovering powerful liars, the reporters began covering for the liars.
The Clintons’ lies, which once seemed pro, now seem minor league. At least theirs weren’t made by a plainly impaired front man and always defended by professionally impaired reporters.
Thanks Dave. That’s why CNN is the putz news network.
Yes ! PNN
CNN = Crummy News Network
Has been since Ted Turner divested it
Yeah it’s too bad they picked poor Nixon. He was innocent wasn’t he. Used CIA, FBI and justice dept to try and rig the election. How dare those reporters out him. Tsk, tsk.
Sometime when I read the Libune, especially the opinion section, it’s hard to distinguish the Trib from a Democrat Party press release. It’s almost like they have a party apparatchik screen the article before they print it.
And your use of the work Putz, spot on John.
Old Joe is stuck in the 80’s when a politician could exaggerated stories without fear of fact checks. He would tell the folks in union halls and service clubs what they wanted to hear. He would lift speeches from others and make up stories to fit the audience. Still uses the line from any place with a balcony, “don’t jump,” —and freak out little girls with hugs and sniffs.
Pure gold truth, John. Soldiers died while Biden was “playing his audience” as Daniel refers to it. Children are mutilated in a collapse to the individualistic deconstruction of words and biological truths under a banner of gender fluidity and parents denied the right to parent their children as Biden “plays his audience.” The crass depravity of corruption is beyond the pale, and the legacy media’s willingness to be a lap dog so far is unconscionable. Simple truth: Biden’s actions and governance is an embodiment of governmental overreach, bad behavior and ideas that hurt people. He looks into the cameras and lies to us and then smirks and walks away with the guidance of his handlers. He sees the hardworking people who have made and make this country great as mere chumbolones in service to his ideology, corruption, and plagiarism.
Preach it John!
After reading this headline, in my head I envisioned a one word column.
“Nope.”
at least he didn’t claim to be a dog trainer. Or did he?
Great article John, keep up the fight, expose this pathological liar and his handlers.
Great Column.
What sends chills up my spine is the thought that Michelle Obama running for the White House.
You ain’t kiddin ‘
My thoughts exactly.
“… the same way that Chicago media kissed Daley’s behind to protect him from the reality that he and the Illinois Democrats were spending bankrupt Chicago and bankrupt Illinois into oblivion.”
Exactly! Before King Richard the First was cold in the ground, Local 13 (Thieves, Villains, & Scoundrels) set up shop in the basement at City Hall. They remain there today. Through many a night, under a single dim light in the boiler room, the bosses scheme and plan on how to squeeze the city dry. The faces may look different but it’s the same old clout game.
Red herrings served with distraction & orchestrated dissonance.
Great thoughts JK, my dad would’ve been happy to read your piece and agree as well.
Seems a couple of readers slept late today, so I’ll add their usual comment: It’s all Trump’s fault! No need for them to post today.
Thank you John Kass for these words. The stink is getting ever so thick around FJB or Big Guy, or what ever alias he might be using now…. I see that James Rosen was reporting this morning about the DOD server FJB was using to send and receive the emails bearing his alias’. This is a server that DOD was using only during war times…I am at an age where incompetence and small minded people, such as grandpa Joe, are allowed and promoted to POTUS….but of course he was “elected”. I wonder if a poll has been taken about how many voters for him are distraught with the results that are being visited upon them now….NAH..Too bad for ALL of us.
God bless you John Kass.

Joe Biden has been an unintelligent politician his whole life, yet he somehow became a multimillionaire. Hmmm, I wonder how that happened?
For all of the “most transparent administration in history” claims by Obama, he covered or ignored much office leveraging through Clinton Global and Biden Crime Enterprises, Inc.
Γιάννη,
As long as Joe and his leftist media buds keep repeating the same story, over and over, sooner or later, enough chumbolones will swallow the swill and vote for the idiots – that have decimated America -again!! How to change the commentary is our challenge!!! Good job. Keep up the pressure!!
BLM = BIDEN LIES MATTER
And yet, sadly, the left will still vote for him because A) He’s not Trump and B) Abortion
Right you are Ann!
You nailed it. Mr. Trump can count on being the top Democratic vote getter outer … same with Dobbs.
Just like we could not fathom a second term of Lori, instead we got a first term of someone much worse. This will likely play out in 2024: either another term of senile Joe or – if you can believe it – someone much worse.
The subtle downward spiral in our political leadership seems to have accelerated in recent years. My own sense of outrage at politicians like Biden, et. al., is gradually turning into despair, as we the people continue doping ourselves with electronic gadgets, game shows, fentanyl and the relentless tsunami of media pap designed to still any sense of betrayal. What can we expect, after all, when the complexities of severe existential threats take a back seat to girlie singer concert tours and movies about dolls from the 1960’s? I just don’t know anymore.
Joe Biden started out stupid and now senility has set in. He was chosen to be the placeholder because he’d read or sign anything they put in front of him. Even though it was obvious during the primaries that he had dementia, they thought they could manage it and run the country through him. That’s coming to an end. He’s no longer fit to remember a short comment on the fires in Hawaii or misread a teleprompter well enough so the White House staff can “clarify” what he meant the next day. They see that he has to go, and they’ve given their minions in the propaganda press the word that it’s okay to quit covering for him. Well, maybe they didn’t tell CNN.
25th Amendmenting him isn’t an option with Harris in the wings, not to mention it would be an admission that they foisted a senile old man on us, so they have to make it look like he’s decided on his own that his job is done and it’s time to spend more time with his family. A more hostile press will make him (and Jill) make that decision. Then the Dems can get serious about stealing the next election for Nancy Pelosi’s nephew, Gavin Newsom.
Maybe old men that realize they have not been good in their lives turn to fantasizing. They lie to themselves to make the past look better and hence become, as you have so well put it, the old man at the end of the bar, alone, and the hero of all his own stories.
John, the bar scene, that’s one of the best pictures you have painted.
John I’m shocked that neither you nor anyone in the comments mention Biden’s plagiarizing the UK’s Neil Kinnock or that Biden plagiarized an article he submitted to the Law Review of his school (where he did not finish near the top of his class). Here is a link to an article from Slate. It’s from 2008 when the legacy media was more honest. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2008/08/the-wacky-plagiarisms-of-joe-biden.html
John, another great column that infuriates the men and women of this great country who play by the rules. The Biden administration has pulled back the curtain to show the American public that there are two tiers of justice, business ethics and the truth. When will half the country wake up? The good, honest people that make up the majority of our population watch helplessly as the Biden administration, with the help of the blind, bought media, bury the founding principles that once made our country unique and great. Depressing.
I will give “Sleepy Confused Joe” credit for one “honest” statement. When he said; “Hunter is the smartest guy I know”. After seeing his VP, cabinet and administration in action for almost 3 years, sadly, he was probably right.
It’s only against the law to lie to Congress. This is one of Trump’s major defense points. It’s not a crime to lie to the press, the American people, the mirror, yourself.
Also, as Dershowitz said in the impeachment trial, “If the president does it, it’s not illegal.
Do you think Nixon would have survived with this Senate? I do.
Obama took the Patriot Act and other tools Bush’s people expanded and devises the most opaque administration. And the media clowns at MSNBC, etc., provided ample cover for him.
He did a very good job for the swells as he’s very rich right now, and only seems to appear to do the bidding of the elites as he’s done in labor disputes and helping install Sleepy Joe, who he knows wasn’t ever fit for that job.
The biggest lie is climate change and the resultant regulations and legislation such as the IRA that cause electric utility companies to invest their capital in renewables rather than hardening their distribution system and clearing flammable brush under their lines. Lost opportunity cost of a regulation is the lost opportunity to invest capital in ways other than the regulation requires. Before Biden’s executive order eliminated lost opportunity cost from the cost/benefit analysis of regulations, the regulators were to consider what lost opportunities would be caused by their regulation and add that as a cost of the regulation to compare to the benefit of the regulation. Yes, climate change caused the Hawaii fires, but indirectly through climate regulations that encouraged the electric utility to invest in renewables rather in the basics of hardening the distribution system and clearing flammable brush under their lines in the utility rights-of-way. The climate zealots caused the fires, but will never admit it. Biden and the bureaucrats again lied about or covered up the true cause i.e. the zealotry for climate regulation.
Biden’s friends in the MSM have already begun to turn on him and they will continue to ramp it up until he (or is it Jill?) finally gets the message that he is not to be the candidate. We can only hope and pray that Michelle has become too comfortable living the good life among the posh elites to take up a job which in theory would require her to show up for work every day.
Great article. Thanks.
Is anyone surprised at the left leaning media?
Ho hum I’m sitting here still waiting for the name of the clerk who leaked the Dobbs decision. Anyone? Anyone?
Who was the owner of the cocaine found in the White House. Anyone? Anyone?
When the former First Lady wore a jacket that said I Really Don’t Care Do You? And they questioned her thought process and fashion sense?
Or when the former First Lady was seen wearing heels to board Air Force one to visit ravaged hurricane Puerto Rico? Who later was seen wearing tennis shoes?
They savagely shamed the former president for throwing paper towel.
Yet I heard many times how Biden is the empathizer and chief on many stations yesterday. What the hell were they watching?
It’s sad that over a thousand are still missing and may never be found many being assumed to be children. I was sick and horrified as I saw the destruction.
Yet I was treated to watching the president talk about his corvette?
I have smacked myself in the head so many times there is permanent scar there.
And yet there are many who defend Joe. Huh? Why? The answer because he isn’t Trump has long lost its flavor. Of course Joe is on vacation once again. Good thing he isn’t playing golf.
Is it too much to ask the media to report honestly? I surmise the answer is you can’t handle the truth!
Again great column.
Joe Biden should never have been president- I think that’s rather obvious to most of the country right now, even if they don’t publicly admit it. He has never been intelligent and has lied consistently. Most presidents have some kind of charisma or “ It” factor that draws people to them – and if they don’t have that, they better be
intelligent and well spoken. Biden has never been any of these things. He was put into office for a reason – he is a useful idiot to whoever or whatever is behind destroying and dividing this country. I don’t think we definitively know who or what that is yet- but it’s working. The country is so divided right now that I don’t see a way out. But, when we put someone like this in office, we are asking for trouble, and barring a miracle, it will happen again.
For a lie to be effective, the listener must believe the lie is truth.
The same lie told and retold again and again will eventually be taken as the truth.
Think about it; how was the segregationist Democratic Party able to rebrand their party as the Party of Civil Rights? You guessed it. LIES.
If a Ph.D is a measure for intelligence, then how could they possibly be a Democrat?
The answer is that politics turns them into complete idiots.
But, lies pave the way to power.
In the end, that’s what matters.
Lies are the inconvenient truth when power is what they crave.
Mr K.
Old Joe eluded to living across the street from a fire house, to our poor fellow Americans suffering in Maui..
Copied from twitter..
Mostly Peaceful Cat
@MaxPaxCat
“I grew up right across the street from a fire hall in Claymont, Delaware.”
#Factcheck: Biden moved to Claymont when he was 11, and moved out of town a year later. The firehouse is on the same site today, at least 1/4 mile from the Bidens’ former apartment.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Gotta give Biden some credit. At least when he told the fake story of the fire, he made sure to have his wife at the top of the list to worry about being saved, then the Corvette, and then the cat. He remembered that DOCTOR Jill is the one giving him his meds and ice cream.
John, even in Biden’s statement in Hawai’i he contradicted himself (ok, he LIED) from one end of the statement to the other! He started out: “I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, of what it was like to lose a home,” Biden said. “Years ago, now 15 years, I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press’. … Lightning struck at home on a little lake outside the home. Not a lake. A big pond. It hit the wire and came up underneath our home, into the … air condition ducts.” Notice he said “…I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press’.” By the end of the comment, he was remarking about how thick the smoke was and that they were out of the house for a year! For a 20-minute kitchen fire??? That he wasn’t even there to witness????
As to Joe staying in office….the reason he’s still there and will stay there? The reason he’s being pushed to run (and they hope) win again? Jill Biden would like to be this generation’s Jackie Kennedy. She would like to be the grieving widow that nation feels sorry for as her husband is buried as a sitting President of the United States. That is the ONLY way she can ‘best’ Michelle O., and make NO mistake, THAT is her goal.
More likely, Dr. Jill Biden, who has been involved with Joe since she sat on his lap when she was the Biden’s nanny at the age of 16, wants to be this generations Edith Wilson.
He also said he watched the firefighters go to work at the fire…..while he was how many miles away in Washington, D.C.? Pathological, serial liar.
john, john, john……you of all people should know that politicians only stop lying when they stop breathing.
“Empathizer in chief”? He showed great empathy when he repeatedly checked his watch as the flag draped coffins of the 13 killed as a result of his incompetence and callous arrogance were brought off the transport plane. The media has been covering for this lying contemptuous fraud for decades. Great column John. So sad for the country that the subject matter is true.
Why should he stop telling lies. The Press covers for him, the DOJ, FBI, and CIA. They all forget that he was part of the KKK along with Senator Bird that they all loved and he was still KKK until he retired. Biden is on his way out and Michelle is waiting in the wings and people are dumb enough to Vote for her. America is been destroyed within and nobody seems to care. Our Streets are full of crime, people are walking in with no papers, they get free health care while we work hard to pay for them. Are Schools are taken over by the Politicians, and Unions are taking over the Government, Pharma is running our Country while China makes all of our medicine. People do not seem to care, unless you are Woke, or want to destroy this Great Country by having the Parties lie and lie about this Country. Millions were destroyed in Asia Minor, but no one seems to care or know History of Anatolia, and the Armenians that were destroyed. Whole Countries have been destroyed for Greed, and Power and we are next folks.
Joe “My lips are moving I’m lying” Biden finally made it to Vietnam after 4 deferments for asthma during the war. Strange, for the self-proclaimed “star” of his high school football team. Also claimed he was going to play for the Naval Academy, but Roger Staubach took his place. The depravity of today’s demorat party a complicit media is beyond words.
Correction: “and” complicit media.
Γιάννη,
So the difference between lying and bulls–t is this:
When one knows the truth, and chooses not to tell it, that’s lying. When you don’t have a clue about what’s true or not, you make it up – that’s BS.
So Joe has been lying and spewing BS for decades, and no one dared to call him on it…til now. Too late!! Θεός να βάλει το χέρι Του!!
