On Thursday, June 27th of this year, Joe Biden and Donald Trump participated in a presidential debate that not only changed the fate of the country, but exposed the lie of this century, namely that octogenarian Biden was fit as fiddle.
DOCTORS EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT BIDEN’S APPARENT COGNITIVE PROBLEMS DURING DEBATE: ‘WORRYING INDICATORS’
With natural surprise, America looked at its sitting president, his pale face almost blank, barely able to locate the words. And in that moment, years of lies about Grandpa Joe’s intellectual aptitude completely collapsed.
There were symptoms of Biden’s decline, though they were hidden as much as possible. But the White House confided to us that, behind closed doors, Joe had the stamina of a 20-year-old and recited Thomas Aquinas’ The Trials of God in Latin while jumping jacks.
On the Mount Rushmore of political lies, “Biden is fine” will fall right between Richard Nixon’s “I’m a thief” and Bill Clinton’s “I didn’t have sex with that woman. ”
In February, after Joe Biden recounted how he had spoken with French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden’s physical condition. Here is the exchange:
“I’ll even stop by to pass that rabbit hole to you, sir,” KJP said.
“Why is this a rabbit hole?” “Doocy.
“You are the president in Las Vegas, California,” Jean-Pierre responded. “You, the president in South Carolina. You, him in Michigan. I’ll leave it at that. “
They have left Biden there.
So not only does Jean-Pierre lie about Biden’s intellectual state, but he essentially accuses anyone who dares question him of being a conspiracy theorist wearing an aluminum hat.
BIDEN ADMIN OFFICIALS NOTICED STAMINA ISSUES IN PRESIDENT’S FIRST FEW MONTHS IN OFFICE: REPORT
Even when Mumbly Joe filmed an episode or two, the White House told us those videos were “cheap deepfakes,” even though they hadn’t been manipulated at all.
On the Mount Rushmore of political lies, “Biden is fine” will rank right between Richard Nixon’s “I’m a criminal” and Bill Clinton’s “I didn’t have sex with that woman. ”
However, in criticizing the White House’s blatant triple-deal regarding Biden’s ability to serve, the geniuses at PolitiFact say the main lie is that Trump claims that migrants in Springfield eat pets.
First, we literally don’t know if reports about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio are lies. In September I traveled to Springfield and talked to other people who had heard of and believed in the practice of pet eating.
Even if those accounts are false, the purpose of highlighting them as Trump did was to draw attention to the very real crisis brought to that community by settling 15,000 migrants in the small city of 60,000 souls in just 2 years.
BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE ‘MAN THAT WAS TOO OLD,’ SAYS BYRON YORK
I have heard directly from citizens about the devastation caused, overcrowded schools, rising rents, and threatened public safety. Even if Trump had been given the main points about pets, he was at least making something very real.
Conversely, the pernicious lies that hid the true, decrepit state of the man supposedly running the nation served absolutely nobody’s interests except for Biden himself, and his band of lying flunkies.

Politico would say that Trump was engaging in dangerous racist attacks against immigrants by highlighting the plight of Springfield natives, yet in Springfield I found no racism or threats against immigrants.
What I did find was raw anger at the Biden administration and local government who the people think threw their beloved city under the bus.
In the end, Joe Biden’s lie of the century blew up in his face, leaving him limping as a disgraced president.
Meanwhile, Trump, fresh off his convincing victory in November, can finally help the desperate citizens of Springfield, whether it’s saving full animals or not.

Sorry Politifact, a year from now no one will know the cats and dogs of Springfield, but a hundred years from now everyone will know the president who wasn’t in their history books.
And sadly, for Joseph Robinette Biden, the 46th president of the United States, this lie of the century will be his unhappy and lasting legacy.
