New in PJ Media:
On Sunday, whoever pretends to be Old Joe Biden on Twitter tweeted: “My word as a Biden: I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.” And that can only mean one thing: some immense disaster is looming.
One thing is certain: the Biden impersonator has the old man’s canned patter down cold. The Liar-In-Chief, throughout his endless career of mendacity and grift in Washington, has often used the phrase “my word as a Biden,” as if that word were actually worth something. But considering Old Joe’s obvious disdain for the truth, when he gives his “word as a Biden” that something is true, that’s a solid signal that it’s actually false. So when Biden gives us his “word as a Biden” that he is optimistic about the nation’s future, something truly terrible must be in the offing.
Old Joe’s Twitter impersonator also used the phrase back in September 2021, declaring: “I give you my word as a Biden: If you make under $400,000 a year, I’ll never raise your taxes one cent. But, I’m going to make those at the top start to pay their share in taxes. It’s only fair.” The Heritage Foundation blew the whistle on that lie, reporting that contrary to Biden’s claims, “nearly 6 million taxpayers taking home less than $100,000 per year would see their taxes go up in 2023 under the Biden legislation. Biden would even hike taxes on hundreds of thousands of families earning less than $20,000 per year. And things get worse for the middle class the longer Biden’s tax increases are on the books. By 2027, more than half of all families earning $75,000 to $100,000 would see their taxes go up by a total of more than $3 billion.” Hey, what did you expect? He gave us his word as a Biden!
Biden also used the phrase on March 24, 2020, publishing on Facebook a graphic that stated: “No president can promise to prevent future outbreaks, but I can promise you this: when I’m president, we will be better prepared, respond better, and recover better. We’ll lead with science and listen to the experts. And I will always tell you the truth.” (Emphasis in the original.) He added: “I give you my word as a Biden.”
The serial liar also gave his “word as a Biden” on a campaign story he told about a Navy captain who tried to refuse a Silver Star after trying and failing to save a wounded comrade. The story, as it turned out, was completely false, and Biden must have known that when he was giving us his word as a member of this notoriously upright clan that it was the God’s honest truth.
There is more. Read the rest here.
