Joe Biden has a history of telling false stories, particularly about his own background. He's the only civil rights activist truck driver Jewish Polish Puerto Rican I know. As we've noted in the past, he's become something of a Forrest Gump, claiming he's done everything and been everything. Except in Forrest's case, it was true, but in Joe's life, not so much. He must be terribly insecure to keep making up such things to either pump himself up, flesh out his resume, and/or pander to his audience. 

I wrote earlier about how Biden repeated his delusional story about the blaze at his home that was actually an insignificant fire put out in 20 minutes, but Biden had to play it up again, given he was speaking to firefighters. He again made it seem much more serious. How bad is it that he keeps repeating things that have been debunked and doesn't seem to be able to control himself to stop saying such things? 

But there was more. Biden told another tale, this one that appears to be new, and people are already pointing out why there are problems with what he's claiming. It involves the emergency he had with a brain aneurysm in 1988. He said it was the middle of a snowstorm. 

Biden claims Ronald Reagan sent "Air Force Helicopter One" to take him to the hospital when he had a brain aneurysm in the 1980s.

His story "is not supported by either his own autobiography or by Reagan’s daily presidential diary," according to @stevennelson10. pic.twitter.com/hJ9aSy0cud

“President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly,” Biden told firefighters during a day-trip to Philadelphia, using an incorrect name for the aircraft.

“And so my fire department came up, put me in the back and took me on heavy snow on the day I went down to Walter Reed,” added the president, whose stories often face withering fact-checks amid campaign-trail criticism of his mental acuity.

While he wrote the second part about the fire department in his book in great detail, there's no evidence to back up the claim about Reagan sending a plane for him. Biden didn't write about it in his book, and there's no evidence of it in the records that NY Post reporter Steven Nelson reviewed at the Reagan Library. 

Press reports indicate that then-Sen. Biden was admitted to Walter Reed on Feb. 12, 1988 — and Reagan’s daily diary, which includes a detailed account of his meetings and phone calls, shows no discussions about sending the chopper to assist the Democrat.

In fact, Reagan himself was unable to use Marine One on the morning of Feb. 12 due to poor weather, according to a handwritten annotation, forcing him to take a motorcade to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to board Air Force One for a flight to Los Angeles.

So once again, it's a Biden tale that seems to have no substance in reality. 

What the heck is "Air Force Helicopter One." He got the name of the helicopter -- Marine One (when the president is on it) -- wrong. You would think he would know that, and that's almost as concerning as him making up yet another story. How could he not know?

It's incredibly concerning that Biden makes things up out of whole cloth and says things that have no relation to reality; he seems confused about basic things that he should know. If anyone around him had any morals or concern for this country, they would stop this. But it looks like there's no one that fits that bill.
