He just never can help but hurt himself whenever he opens his mouth, bless his heart.

Biden is known for his folksy manner of telling little personal anecdotes that supposedly highlight his humanity and relatability, but he has been fact-checked on more than one occasion over the years for, shall we say, overstating the details of these endearing little gems of life experience.

Biden has repeatedly told a story about a friendly Amtrak employee helping him count up the total miles he’d traveled on those well-worn rails, despite the fact that it doesn’t line up with either the worker’s personal history or Biden’s political career.

According to The Associated Press, a wildfire that struck suburban neighborhoods between Denver and Boulder in late December destroyed over 1,000 homes, causing $513 million in damage.

“Jill and I have not gone through what you’ve gone through, but we have had lightning strike our home and almost lose our home,” he told the crowd.

At this point, he seemed to realize that perhaps he needed to walk the comment back a bit, as it’s questionable how true it actually is.

Indeed, the Bidens apparently did not suffer very much at all when lightning struck their home in 2004, as The Associated Press reported at the time. There was a “small fire that was contained to the kitchen” that firefighters had under control in 20 minutes.

This time, he seems to have been a bit more mindful of his words.

“We only lost about 25 percent of it,” he continued on Friday. “We were able to rebuild. But, you know, the hard part is the memorabilia you lost. The special things that you had put away that you lost.”

In 2013, he said the fire had destroyed a “significant portion” of his home, and in November he said the same.

“I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely, God willing — that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes makes a hell of a difference,” he said on the heels of signing his infrastructure bill.

The thing is, a “significant portion” of the Biden home didn’t burn down and by all accounts, Mrs. Biden got out safely and was just fine. In 2013, he even highlighted the fact that firefighters had managed to save his wife and his “second-best love,” his ‘67 Corvette. I’m guessing if there was time to ensure that his vehicle was safe, things were probably relatively under control.

It’s rather obnoxious for Biden to over-emphasize a small fire that doesn’t seem to have caused much damage nor seriously threatened anyone’s life or even, it appears, his Corvette.

Over 1,000 families have lost everything and the best he has to offer is a phony story about a kitchen fire? Seems like this would have been a good one to avoid. It’s not just foolish, it’s insulting to the real victims.

We’re almost morally obligated at this point to highlight Biden’s prolific blunders, and they are indeed prolific, ranging from forgetting the names of his Cabinet members to frequently losing his train of thought in the middle of public comments on top of telling factually dubious stories and flat-out lies.

The really infuriating thing is that, for as uncouth and fiery as Trump’s comments were admittedly wont to be, if he had displayed even half the fumbling lack of tact that Biden does, Nancy Pelosi would have probably tried to send the Capitol Police to the White House with straitjackets to haul 45 off to a home.

Let’s be real.

I think we can safely assume this is why he doesn’t think twice before recycling an already debunked story — he knows the establishment media will never hold him to the same standard to which it held Trump.

Well, we can still hold the mainstream media and Biden to the same standard… and it’s one they absolutely fail to meet.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
