President Joe Biden has been long accused of false stories that have ranged from an invented arrest with Nelson Mandela to a zombie-like train conductor. Some are more serious like lying about influence peddling by his family or constitutional norms. However, as a military history nut, one new story stood out this week. President Biden suggested that his uncle Ambrose “Bozey” Finnegan may have been eaten by cannibals in World War II. What is striking about this story is the specificity of the key facts … and the fact that they are entirely false (other than his uncle dying near New Guinea).
During a stop in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Biden told the story of how Bozey may have been consumed by the natives of New Guinea.
“He was a hell of an athlete, they tell me, when he was a kid. He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones, and he got shot down in New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to be, there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea.”
The account appears in the official transcript of Biden’s remarks. He added “They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.” It is not clear when that search occurred and where the additional plane parts were found given that it crashed in the ocean. However, it suggests that he later (as senator, Vice President or President) followed up on the story with the military in locating confirming wreckage).
The alternative would be to rely on a witness. Yes, there was a survivor who gave a detailed account, including how Finnegan and the others remained in the plane as it sank.
The more glaring problem is that Bozey was not flying a plane and was not shot down. It was not a single engine plane but a Douglas A-20 Havoc with two Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior 9-cylinder radial engines. He was not the pilot but a passenger on a plane. (Indeed, he was not referenced in the official report as a pilot but a staffer at the Headquarters of the Fifth Air Force). The plane had mechanical problems and crashed near New Guinea. He did not disappear in a sea of cannibals but the actual sea when he and other passengers failed to get out of the wreckage.
“On May 14, 1944, an A-20 havoc (serial number 42-86768), with a crew of three and one passenger, departed Momote Airfield, Los Negros Island, for a courier flight to Nadzab Airfield, New Guinea. For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.”
That was not the only false claim made by the President in his remarks. It was also surprising to see the President claim that it was after D-Day that all four uncles enlisted. That was June 6, 1944. However, his uncle was shot down in May 1944, which would mean that he was shot down a month before he enlisted. It is more likely that they enlisted like millions of others after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
However, the fake story led me to look into whether there were any accounts of pilots being eaten by cannibals. Surprisingly, there are accounts of Japanese troops engaging in such cannibalism.
One of the documented stories of Japanese cannibalism involved another president. George H.W. Bush was a combat pilot in World War II and survived being shot down over the Pacific during a raid on the island of Chichi Jima in September of 1944. He was not alone. Nine other airmen went down, but only Bush was able to evade capture because he bailed out over the sea. Nevertheless, he only survived because other pilots gave covering fire as he paddled away in a life raft.
The other eight were not so lucky. James Bradley’s book Flyboys: A Story of True Courage details the tragedy that unfolded. They were beaten and tortured and eventually beheaded. Major Sueo Matoba then had their flesh prepared for an officers’ feast and a party in his quarters. Also Captain Shizuo Yoshii hosted a similar feast and both General Yoshio Tachibana and and Rear Admiral Kunizo Mori, the army and navy commanders of the island, reportedly partook in the meals. The four airmen used for the meals were Marve Mershon, Floyd Hall, Jimmy Dye, and Warren Earl Vaughn.
Ironically, there are also stories of native cannibals rescuing downed pilots and, rather than eating them, helping them survive and make it back to their commands.
As is often the case, the White House simply refused to address the false claim and made it sound like reporters were denigrating the service of his uncle by asking about the cannibal story. White House spokesman Andrew Bates declared “President Biden is proud of his uncle’s service in uniform” and emphasized that Finnegan ”lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.”
The issue is not the story itself. It is integrity. Integrity is truly the only thing you have in life you control. It is how you treat yourself. If you choose to lie, make up untruths you have no integrity. It starts when you begin school. If you lie and you have problems with another kid who does not lie and you both go to the principle who is she going to believe? The kid obviously who does not lie. Biden has no integrity because of these tall tales throughout the years. There not charming but alarming. It leds you wonder why else has he lied about?
Anonymous said: ” It leds you wonder why else has he lied about?”
Everything?
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
Do you believe in the paranormal? The truth is out there.
Joe Biden wasn’t just hiding in his basement during the last election.
In other words, Biden played the cannibal victim card?
Biden’s mental competency, or lack thereof, is a huge issue in this election so, yes, this story about his uncle IS news. Excusing his almost daily confusion now and his many flat out lies (I was a truck driver raised in a black Puerto Rican community who was arrested with Nelson Mandela” isn’t doing service to the American voters. Jonathan, you should start a GoFundMe page for Corn Pop so we can get this all sorted out. Shouldn’t take long…..
skyraider: YOU are the one who is confused. Your hero is the one who mis speaks, who garbles his speech, confuses people–the other day, he confused Jimmy Kimmel for Al Pacino in one of his grade-school level rants. Biden is greatly respected all over the world. Trump is a national disgrace.
“Biden is respected” LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
No.
Not here.
Not there.
Not anywhere.
He has NEVER been “respected”.
He has ALWAYS been a nasty POS corrupt scumbag politician on the take.
Always.
Howard, I followed one of your links. sacrificing myself for the good of others, they wont have to read the tin foil hat, rant.
It is a lengthy piece of “breaking norms” and “audacious remarks”
One critical fact was presented. It seem while President. President Trump said ” “I am actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer.”
CNN also reported
Tuesday, just two days before his friend Stone was to be sentenced, Trump granted clemency or pardoned several people with whom he had close ties.
So there is Howard concerns, he gleaned (not garnered) from reading CNN
President Trump thinks HE is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States
To top it off President Trump obliterated norms be issuing pardons before November of a Presidential election. Audacious indeed.
WOW did that comment get misplaced!
It belongs on a different Blog.
My appologies
Interesting…
I think that any presidential pardon issued within 100 days of a president leaving office should be invalid.
Biden can lead the way be example, right’?
You still haven’t looked up the meaning of plenary power.
Ah! So the paid DNC trolls line of attack today is “This is news?”
Anyone else notice how they all started commenting about the same time?
Notice how an ex president is on trial as we speak?
Another lie.
cant start a trial without a jury
News Break! Brain Dead Joe Xiden to star in a new Hollyweird block buster called “This Never Happened”.
Asufutimaehaehfutbw!
Biden does tell the truth . . . in a parody campaign commercial:
Easy now! Old Joey’s uncle gave his life for his Country. Doesn’t matter the story how, but the honor of the family must’ve ended with him. We will never know with Beau being KIA in Iraq he could have been a contender(sic).
Joe is senile and prone to plagiarizing and lying. He’s a lawyer and lifer politician, it’s his training to spin the truth and his profession to tell lies.
Really???? Seriously?????
This is somehow a newsworthy topic???
This is what happens when the demand for content exceeds the supply.
Obviously a slow day for Turdley, so his pay-masters at the Fox Fantasy Channel wrote this up for him.
Good little commie, always stand by Dear Leader no matter how ridiculous he is.

Biden plans to kill project that could end China’s dominance on minerals needed for green energy
“The Ambler Access Road project would open up mining opportunities in Alaska that would supply critical minerals used in solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicle batteries. The Biden administration is expected to deny approval of the road, increasing our reliance on China.”

Joe Biden, the BSer’s BSer.
This is news worthy? It’s literally a vague recollection of an event that has zero relevance to anything important. The president made a claim that any one his age tends to make. Former president Trump makes countless nonsensical claims, false claims, that are just as bizarre or worse.
It seems this is just an excuse to attack the president when news is slow.
Boo hoo.
Need a tissue?
No, I don’t shed tears for nonsense.
” It’s literally a vague recollection of an event that has zero relevance to anything important.”
It has a great deal of relevance to the state of his mind, particularly when this is NOT an isolated incident. Perhaps you would be happier where these girls are? Pay attention to the subtitled lyrics:
@Floyd, it’s nonsense. Former President Trump is just as prone to making nonsensical claims when he rants at his rallies or press conferences. Because they also point to his state of mind. His fans politely clap and nod when they have no clue what he said or is saying. Most of the time they like to pretend he said something important when he really didn’t say anything at all. Trump is just as old as Biden and it’s typical of men that age to rant and rave while making no sense. This is true of older politicians regardless of party. Mitch McConnell is one of the many examples available.
No, not to the same degree. Everybody who speaks in public will stumble over words, or trip on the stairs, whatever. I don’t fault him for mixing up world leader’s names. But Biden does it excessively, and many of his stories are straight out of Crazy Land. His son died in Iraq, my uncle got eaten by cannibals, I was arrested with Mandela, I once took a shower with Marilyn Monroe, etc.
That sort of stuff is just too far out there, and too frequent.
@Floyd,
President Biden has a long history of making gaffs and stuttering. His gaffes made him famous before he became president. It’s when people start twisting his words and use is age to denigrate by false narrative for political fodder that is the issue.
Trump is just as bad, sometimes worse than Biden. Making excuses for Trump doesn’t change the fact that Trump is equally a problem when it comes to mental or cognitive issues.
I don’t see it with Trump. And it is NOT a false narrative. It is screamingly obvious that Biden has major cognitive problems –
https://gop.com/research/bidens-fitness-is-in-doubt-rsr/
@Floyd,
Of course you’re not going to see it with Trump. Not with that level of bias. That’s how dictators and cult leaders are seen by their devoted supporters or fans. There can be no wrong in their eyes.
Why is Trump taking multiple cognitive tests to ‘prove’ he is mentally fit? Especially when it’s obvious he’s very self conscious about people perceiving him as weak. He’s on record making showing cognitive impairment.
Hogwash. I don’t “worship” Trump, and I am very aware of his shortcomings. However, he is not mentally challenged like Biden. Heck, dude, even Hur, the Special Counsel said it. I think you are projecting the typical Vote-Democrat-Or-Die mentality of your party. If you think that we worship Trump, that is probably a reflection of your own mindset. Just like calling everybody who is not a Democrat “racist”, is a reflection of Democrat’s own racism.
Floyd,
Well said and spot on.
@Floyd,
I didn’t say you worship Trump. But you do show a level of cognitive dissonance about Trump’s shortcomings. I’m just pointing out the obvious and I’m not a democrat. Trump supporters do tend to ignore his own cognitive failures to avoid painting anything negative on him. I get that. But it’s still a disingenuous attempt to avoid reality.
What do I NOT recognize about Trump’s shortcomings? He is too belligerent. He runs his mouth too much, when he ought to just shut up and pick his battles. He makes lousy choices when it comes to putting people into positions.
That being said, he is right about most things. The News is fake. The border problems are real, and they are fixable. D.C. is a swamp. Too many people in power are incompetent. Tariffs should be imposed on China, and other countries.
So, do not say that I have cognitive dissonance, unless you can provide some fact about Reality, that I do not recognize. Frankly, I would be a happier person if I was able to ignore reality.
Yes. It is news.
We have all questioned Biden’s mental competence. From his others tall tales, to his needing the short stairs on AF-1, to his need of cheat sheets to not only tell him what to say, when to sit down, when to pause, which direction to leave. To his need of cheat sheets with pictures of reporters on them and what questions will be asked of him. WWIII could break out any time now and this is just the latest incident proving he is not mentally capable to be in the WH.
Of course you are not bright enough to even ask the real question: Who is actually running the country?
Your paranoia is laughable. President Biden is old. Everyone knows that. Trump is too. The man could drop dead from a heart attack or stroke just by how unhealthy he is.
Every president is going to have issues. Biden has been running the country just fine. Economically he’s been performing better than his predecessor. Is it perfect? Of course not. But an improvement over past performance is still better than no improvement. Wages are up. Unemployment is low, inflation is slightly up this month, but that is still low. It’s lower than Reagan’s term.
Every president has cheat sheets. Trump goes off on a rant constantly.
President Biden is running the country. But he’s not the only one who does. So is Congress. House republicans are certainly not running the country. They have not passed any significant legislation or produced anything they can use to campaign on. There’s plenty of blame to go around.
It is not paranoia.
It is facts.
He and his admin are running the country into the ground. His actions gave us inflation at a 40 year high and it continues to remain high and it is hurting average Americans daily. Wages are not up when adjusted for inflation. The unemployment number is BS, if you knew anything about how to read the Jobs report, you would of never mentioned it.
He is weak and the whole world sees it. That is why our enemies like Russia, China, Iran, are taking advantage of the situation.
@upstatefarmer,
Yes it’s paranoia. The ranting nature of your response confirms it. You’re not citing facts.
It is not paranoia.
I am citing facts.
Biden’s America Rescue Plan is what gave us high inflation. Larry Summers, the secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton, warned that it could “set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation.” It did. That is a fact.
Inflation in cumulative. Last months increase is on top of all the other increases. It has slowed, but it is still much higher at around 19% total since Biden took office. And why has inflation slowed? It was nothing to do with Biden. It had to do with actions the Fed took by raising interest rates. They had to, to combat Bidenflation. And now that is how we got our unaffordable housing crisis.
All Biden failed economic policies.
Biden’s rescue plan was passed with significant Republican support. They took credit for it when they talked to their constituents. Yes it increased inflation, but Biden’s inflation. Reduction act decreased it in record time. It staved off an expected recession and inflation has been on a downward trajectory except last months numbers. Those are facts. And yes you’re still being paranoid.
The inflation reduction act had nothing to do with inflation. The CBO analysis said it would raise inflation from 2024 to 2026. It was the Fed raising interest rates that slowed inflation. Nothing Biden did. The Inflation Reducation Act was nothing but the green new deal. Those are the facts.
@upstatefarmer,
The CBO also expected a recession. That did not occur. Raising interest rates was only one part of the solution. The inflation reduction act was undeed helping bring inflation down. Republicans started to take credit for it after voting against it. That shows us it was working.
“The inflation reduction act was undeed [sic] helping bring inflation down.”
Care to explain how government spending *reduces* inflation?
While you’re at it, explain how eating three scoops of ice cream daily reduces weight.
Nonsensical claims, like the economy is better than ever. The border is secure. My son is the smartest person I know
The economy is still better than it used to be. It’s certainly not worse. Better is preferable than worse.
Republicans in Congress had a golden opportunity to secure the border and reform the immigration system. They were getting a majority of what they wanted and then chose to scuttle a deal because it would have made the president look good on an election year. It’s clear who is seeking a solution and who isn’t.
Reforming immigration is NOT necessary. Biden can simply do the things Trump did. It’s not like we need new laws. Just enforce the current laws.
@Floyd,
Reforming immigration is absolutely necessary. Republicans recognize this and is why they were working on a deal with Biden and the democrats.
Biden is doing some things Trump did. But they are limited by the fact that Congress needs to update the laws that have not been changed in decades. Enforcing the current laws are difficult without funding, access to more resources and changes to certain rules. All of which were part of the deal Republicans reneged on purely for political posturing.
Republicans were getting a majority of what they wanted. But that would have also given Biden credit for passing significant immigration reform on an election year. Republicans didn’t want to give credit to Biden for implementing something that would have robbed republicans of a campaign talking point.
It showed their true views about the border. It’s just a campaign issue. Not a real issue for them.
Here’s an opinion for you: 81 million votes my ass.
Better? It is costing the average American some $11k to $16k more a year since Biden took office. In my area, gas went up by $0.30 in three days. Biden has already drained the SPR to some early 1980s level. Trump wanted to fill the SPR back when oil was trading at $40 a barrel, Democrats blocked him. Now, WTI is trading at $82. And now Biden is talking about raiding the SPR again. Why? Just like he raided it for the 2022 mid-terms, he was polling badly.
Border security? You really want to go there? Why is it all previous presidents to include Obama who had a high deportation rate than Trump, did not require Congress to secure the border, but Biden does? And now he is saying he might do something about the border without Congress, as the polls show the Biden induced border crisis is a major concern and second after the economy for voters. And tying $60 billion more money for the Ukraine was BS. I noticed how you failed to mention H.R.2 that Chuck Shumer killed in 2023.
It’s costing more, but wages are also up. Meaning the increases are not as problematic.
The SPR has remained at its current levels for a while. The recent cancellation of the purchase of 3million barrels is due to higher prices. It makes sense to buy when prices are low.
He took oil out of the SPR so you could get affordable gas and keep transportation costs low. We had a supply chain problem back then. Would you rather prices be high? It seems you would prefer higher prices.
Biden has a higher deportation rate than Trump. You were not aware of that?
“As of December 27, 2023, President Biden’s administration, through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced the completion of its 11th deportation flight to Central America and Venezuela. This development marks a significant milestone, with nearly half a million individuals deported between May and December 2023.
This figure surpasses the highest seven-month deportation tally under former President Donald Trump. According to the Biden administration’s DHS, the current deportations almost surpass the total for the entire fiscal year of 2019 and exceed the annual totals from 2015 to 2018.
In addition, the DHS highlighted that daily deportations and enforcement returns have nearly doubled the pre-pandemic average from 2014 to 2019, a rate higher than during the Trump era. The Cato Institute’s David J. Bier reveals an even more striking comparison: The Biden administration is deporting individuals at a rate 3.5 times higher per month than the Trump administration.
Under Trump, the DHS recorded 1.4 million arrests over fiscal years 2019 and 2020, spanning 24 months. In contrast, the Biden administration’s DHS has made over 5 million arrests in just over 26 months. Additionally, while the Trump administration deported a minority of those arrested, the Biden administration has deported a majority.”
https://amsterdamnews.com/news/2024/01/03/deportation-numbers-under-biden-surpass-trumps-record/
Shumer killed HHR2 because it was loaded with unworkable amendments. Amendments that republicans got in the deal they were poised to get until they decided to renege on the deal. Republicans scuttled their own deal to prevent the president from claiming success.
Once again, you are ignoring the fact that when adjusted for inflation, wages are not keeping up with inflation. Inflation is cumulative and an additional tax on the American people.
The SPR was developed as in case of a international emergency in the oil markets, we had a reserve we could use, in an emergency. Biden’s and Democrats polling numbers does not constitute an emergency. It is reckless and irresponsible. If Biden had a solid energy policy, he would not have to use the SPR as his personal gas tank to buy votes.
Arrest rate. What does that tell us? The reason there are more arrests is there are more illegals Biden let in. And, there are more illegals committing crime in Democrat ran cities with soft on crime DAs, no cash bail and other failed Democrat policies, like that defund the police policy.
Wages have increase above inflation.
“https://www.americanprogress.org/article/workers-paychecks-are-growing-more-quickly-than-prices/
“If wages rise more quickly than prices, workers can maintain or improve their standard of living—and since the start of the pandemic, wage growth for a typical worker has been higher than inflation.4 Prices have increased 20 percent since the fourth quarter of 2019, while wages for a typical worker have grown 23 percent.5 (see Figure 1) In fact, real wages for a typical worker stand at about the level expected if there had been no pandemic or recession in early 2020 and if they had kept growing at the same rate as in years prior. 6”
The SPR was used in an emergency. Biden using the SPR helped keep prices from surging when we were in a recovery. Republicans benefitted as did democrats.
“Arrest rate. What does that tell us? The reason there are more arrests is there are more illegals Biden let in.”
He’s doing more than Trump ever did. Isn’t that what republicans wanted?
There are no more illegals committing crimes. Compared to citizens we commit more crimes.
“. . . to secure the border . . .”
So the D’s lied. The border is not secure. Or is your statement about the R’s a lie? It’s hard to keep up.
“It’s literally a vague recollection of an event that has zero relevance to anything important.”
Exactly. Why, when we’re closer now to WW3 than ever, among many other things going wrong,
does the President choose to just make shit up instead of dealing with more important issues?
You’re OK with that? You took the time to make excuses for him, and ‘attack’ Mr. Turley?
What makes you think we are close to WW3?
We have been “close to WW3” for decades. Criticizing Mr. Turley is always fair game.
“Former president Trump makes countless nonsensical claims, false claims, that are just as bizarre or worse.”
Would these nonsensical claims be newsworthy?
Well that’s a Tasty Story! I wonder what brand of BQQ Sauce Joe recommends.
These days Port-au-Prince is a Haitian hot-spot for this delectable cuisine of the flesh.
Liver & Brains served up with some fava beans and a nice Chianti is one of Hannibal’s favorites.
Joe Biden is a fabulist.
fabulist /făb′yə-lĭst/
noun
A composer of fables.
A teller of tales; a liar.
One who invents or writes fables.
Might as well call him Aesop. Or Forrest Gump.
He is a pathological liar.
He has lied and plagiarized his entire life.
He continually repeats his lies because he actually believes his own lies, and bc no one in the media pushes back or calls him on it to his face.
His lying is a form of mental illness. It is not normal behavior.
Biden is not only a nasty, corrupt politician who let his dogs attack his secret service detail dozens of times before doing a damn thing about it, but a dangerous one whose decisions and policies are getting people killed: Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza, Iran, fentanyl, open borders, allowing the invasion of our country.
Joe Biden is a treasonous, dangerous, complete disgrace to this nation.
It is amazing the triviality of Biden’s ancestor stories with which Turley takes issue, while Turley ignores the daily falsehoods from Trump on much more immediate and important matters.
And you Bubba are no better than Joe
Am wondering how many of the people who comment here,
telling Mr. Turley what to write/not write, also go to their TDS sites
and tell the writers there to write about Biden’s falsehoods, too?
Would bet you haven’t even done it once.
Trump is not the current president.
Biden is.
WWIII could break out at any time and Biden just had a senile moment for the whole world to see.
And you actually believe anything Trump says is more immediate and important?
UpstateFarmer, yes, agree. When Trump was President, if you brought up Obama, it was ‘He’s not in office right now, this has to remain focused on who’s in there NOW.’ But since it’s been Biden, it’s been constant deflections and comparisons to Trump from those same people. Because double standards.
Trump’s rants and raves show his state of mind. He wants to be president again. He’s being judged, as he should, regarding his own cognitive impairments.
When we used to visit Gramps in the nursing home, he’d tell us tales like this. He had no idea who we were, but these elaborate fantasies seemed so real to him. Poor Joe. He needs to go.
It’s all fine and dandy to find grotesque humor in the misfiring brain of this sad sack occupying the Resolute Desk, but we really should be concentrating, more, on what fabrications he has made to our enemies and how they may have him by the short hairs because of his corruption and treason. Why is the general public not alarmed by having a serial liar in the White House – I would venture that it is because we have a nation filled to the brim with either criminals, the braindead, or those willing to sell their votes for government largesse of any sort (and I am going to include those whose paychecks are directly connected to government jobs, government contracts or NGOs with an agenda (Yes I am talking about NPR here). As long as we have a substantial number of citizens relying of taxpayer funds to live – we will not be able to make any changes and we might as well get used to accepting all levels of lies.
You all are being too harsh.
Who here hasn’t confused the details about a distant relative: Who wasn’t a pilot, but a passenger. Whose plane went down not from enemy fire, but from engine failure. Who wasn’t eaten by cannibals, but drowned.
If a president lies, how is that not news? How does that not go the argument that every word out of biden’s mouth is a lie?
In your response make sure you include an attack President Trump.
Does anyone really believe this man is/has been running the nation? My question which I’ve submitted many times here, who’s running the show?
The evidence that a past President has taken Washington DC as his home, informs the open minded that Obama is the one in charge of deep state.
@iowan2
I personally don’t think there’s any question it’s the Obama cabal. As we all know, one of the first things Bido did was reinstate Obama’s Iran deal almost verbatim.
I think Trump’s victory scared the sheet out of them, it was unthinkable, and it’s partly why they’ve quadrupled down to make their actions very difficult to reverse no matter what happens going forward.
These are the zealots who will happily rule over a pile of ashes so long as they are the ones ruling.
Margot, Iowan2, James,
Well said.
The question I have is the level of incompetence by this admin intentional or just a typical Democrat incompetent admin?
Upstate,
You rebuild stuff all the time. We all know its best to do the demolition first, down to a level you can get a clean rebuild to start.
This is not incompetence.
Never forget, Obama promised a “fundamental” change.
of, relating to, or affecting the foundation or basis:
The Constitution has to be neutralized
The invasion of 10 million illegals is the plan. But like all leftist fever dreams, unintended consequences will rule, in place of any plan
Upstate, I believe it’s intentional and the reason is far more sinister than merely wrecking the country. Think Napoleon.
Even the most incompetent of Democrat administrations couldn’t be this perfectly incompetent. Somewhere along the line, someone would have had to slip up and do something that actually benefitted our country. No, this is a setup. This story is a great metaphor for the strategy being played out. This Biden is flaming out and will need to be rescued before the cannibals (conservatives) devour him, the Democratic party (their democracy) and the country. The questions are who will be anointed as the savior of the republic? And what “extra-constitutional” authority will he be given to eliminate that which is threatening this country.
