Joe Biden told us yesterday, “word of a Biden” we were on the verge of America’s “greatest future.”
There are a couple of problems with that.
We may be on the verge of America’s “greatest future” but it will be in spite of Biden, not because of it and likely only after we are past Biden because of his awful policies.
But the other problem is that the word of a Biden isn’t worth anything. Media doesn’t acknowledge them as lies, but Biden lies like he breathes. His most common type of lie is the one that puffs him up — the boasting lie. That’s the kind of lie that made him have to drop out of his first presidential race in 1988, when he plagiarized other politicians and lied about his educational background. He’s lied about marching for civil rights. He’s lied about being arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. That kind of lying is one of the reasons he was dismissed as a buffoon for years until the Democrats thought they needed him as the safe, congenial old guy to secure their power.
But now, he told another whopper when he had the World Series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers, to the White House on Friday. During the visit, he told the Dodgers that he hit a 368 ft. home run off the right-centerfield wall during a Congressional baseball game. He even claimed his “kids remember that.” CBS’ Bo Erickson, one of the few reporters who actually asks questions and reports like a real reporter should, took note, calling it “Peak Biden.”
Peak Biden story: POTUS is now regaling the LA Dodgers at the White House with a story about him at the second Congressional baseball game when he says hit the ball 368 ft off the right-centerfield wall. "My kids remember that," he adds.

Except, as with anything Biden says, it seems there was a small problem with that. Joe’s first year in Congress was 1973. Yes, he is that old. In 1974, as Zach Parkinson RNC Research Director and GOP Deputy Communications Director found, Biden actually went 0-2, the furthest you could get from hitting a monster home run.
Biden's second Congressional baseball game would have been in 1974
Did he really hit a 368 foot shot?
No, he went 0-2 https://t.co/EXtET8orNx pic.twitter.com/TwUnAy1Zgg

In 1975, Biden was so good he “got stuck in traffic” and didn’t start
But he did make sure his press team reached out to Delaware’s Morning News to issue a correction so everyone knew he actually “played” in the game pic.twitter.com/rSJ8drCWlm

Now, if you want to believe that Joe Biden hit a “368 foot” single to center-right in the 1973 game, you can choose to believe that, but you clearly have never seen a Congressional baseball game pic.twitter.com/MyutBMofbM

It wasn’t just a problem with telling what didn’t happen. Parkinson also suggested there was Biden confusion about where the event occurred.
Biden also claimed this hit came “at the old stadium” in DC (RFK)
Except the Congressional baseball game was played at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for Biden’s first four years in Congress
The game wasn’t played at RFK again until 2005https://t.co/wb9n1lUTVC pic.twitter.com/LmAAvf5fO5

Parkinson pointed out how Biden had also exaggerated his football playing days in college in the past as well.
Unsurprisingly, not the first time Biden has done something like thishttps://t.co/14TGszl6pa

So what was the White House’s response when asked about this by Politico? They refused to comment. They can’t even come up with something to cover this lie, so they’re working with the “let’s just get through the news cycle” and hope everyone just forgets.
