6. “At his first press conference in March 2021 – after claiming that nothing had changed at the border (despite repealing every Trump executive order securing the border on day one) – he said the surge of illegals then underway ‘happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. It happens every year … happens all the time.’”. This graph courtesy of I&I makes crystal clear that border invasions like that of the Biden era do not happen “all the time:”

5. Twice in recent interviews, President Joe Biden has made an inaccurate statement about one of the top issues motivating voters this election year: inflation. First, during a May 8 interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Biden said that inflation "was 9% when I came to office." Then, during a May 14 interview with Yahoo Finance, Biden said the same thing, that inflation "was 9% when I came to office. Nine percent."
As we reported when Biden made the remark to CNN, inflation was much lower when Biden took office. Inflation hit 9% — the highest in about four decades — about a year and a half into Biden’s presidency. When Biden was inaugurated, year-over-year inflation was about 1.4%. That was during a period when the coronavirus pandemic diminished many types of economic activity, notably travel and hospitality. When economic demand sinks, inflation tends to be low.
From January 2021 to June 2022, inflation rose precipitously, primarily because of supply shortages as the pandemic receded and demand rose. Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which put more money into Americans’ pockets when supply was spotty, intensified the increase in prices, as did Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The war sent U.S. gasoline prices to near-record highs.

4. In reference to Trump being shot, Biden stated on July 13,
2024 in a statement to the media:
“The idea that there’s political violence or violence in
America like this is just unheard of.”
Although it has been decades since a violent attack
targeting a U.S. president, presidents, presidential candidates and political
leaders have been targeted by violence throughout U.S. history. Four presidents
were assassinated and other presidents survived shootings.
In recent years, two House representatives have survived
shootings, a House speaker’s husband was attacked, a governor was targeted and
the U.S. Capitol, filled with lawmakers, was under siege.
Biden's statement is obviously not true but I think he might have meant something more along the lines of "political violence should be unheard of"????

3. Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation
In October 2020, days before the presidential election, the Biden campaign and now Secretary of State Antony Blinken, orchestrated a misinformation campaign to discredit the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, including evidence of Joe Biden’s involvement in his influence-peddling schemes.These disgraced 51 former intelligence officials claimed the laptop contained all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, and Joe Biden parroted their claim during the 2020 presidential debate. Twitter removed the New York Post’s article about the laptop, even though former Twitter executives admitted before our committee that it did not violate the platform's policies. We now know from the testimony of IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, that the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop in November 2019. Special Counsel David Weiss, who led the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, also used the laptop as evidence in court.
2. ‘I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings’
Biden repeatedly claimed he never discussed his son’s business dealings. However, evidence uncovered during our investigation contradicts this assertion. Evidence obtained by our committee reveals then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined or had coffee with nearly all of Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. These dinners occurred as the foreign nationals or their affiliated entities were collectively paying Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, millions of dollars. Then-Vice President Joe Biden also met with Jonathan Li, a Chinese national who was Hunter Biden’s associate, and wrote a college letter of recommendation for his daughter. Even when presented with this evidence, President Biden continued to lie to the American people.
Rob Walker, a Biden family associate who was involved in the Biden’s dealings with Chinese and Romanian entities, confirmed during a transcribed interview that Joe Biden met with the now-missing Chairman of CEFC Ye Jianming as Hunter Biden and his associates received $3 million from a Chinese entity CEFC controlled.
Jason Galanis, another Biden family business associate, testified that Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone with Yelena Baturina. Joe Biden ended the call by stating, "Ok then, you be good to my boy." A few days later, Baturina committed to a "hard order" of $10-20 million to an entity benefitting Hunter Biden.
1. "My son has not made money … in China"
During the 2020 presidential election, President Biden told the American people that his son did not make money in China. However, our investigation has uncovered that Hunter Biden and other Biden family members received millions from China for unknown services.
Additionally, we traced how $40,000 in Chinese money landed in Joe Biden’s personal bank account. When confronted with the fact that his family did indeed receive money from China, President Biden lied again and said it was not true that his family received money from China.

-1. The “final blow” for the Biden 1988 campaign came when Newsweek unearthed C-SPAN footage of Biden rattling off his academic accomplishments, including saying that he graduated in the top half of his law school, when in fact, he ranked 76th out of 85.

-2. Biden stated on December 2, 2021 at Scotish Event Campus in Glasgow Scotland,
"Things are a hell of a lot better, and the wages have gone up higher — faster than inflation."
Monthly figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show average weekly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees — who make up 81% of the private sector workforce were 4.1% larger in November (2021) than they were in January, they will buy 2.8% less due to rising prices.
Those rank-and-file workers have suffered less than their bosses. For all private sector workers, including managers and executives, weekly earnings averaged 3.1% more but could buy 3.0% less.
-3. Biden stated on December 12, 2021 in an interview with Rita Braver of CBS: “I’ve been against that war in Afghanistan from the very beginning.”
However, it’s incorrect for Biden to say he opposed the war “from the very beginning.” Along with every other senator present, Biden voted to launch the war in the first place, three days after the 9/11 attacks.

-4. In an interview on August 18, 2021 with ABC News correspondent George Stephanopoulos, President Biden stated that none of his military advisors recommended keeping 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to maintain stability.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told -- your military advisors did not tell you, "No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that"?
BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall.
During today’s hearing General McKenzie testified that he, as well as General Scott Miller, recommended to President Biden that the U.S. keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.
In the same interview, President Biden said that no one anticipated a rapid collapse of the Afghanistan government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you didn't put a timeline on it when you said it was highly unlikely. You just said flat out, "It's highly unlikely the Taliban would take over."
BIDEN: Yeah. Well, the question was whether or not it w-- the idea that the Taliban would take over was premised on the notion that the -- that somehow, the 300,000 troops we had trained and equipped was gonna just collapse, they were gonna give up. I don't think anybody anticipated that.
During today’s hearing General McKenzie testified that he told President Biden that he believed if 2,500 troops were not left in Afghanistan the government and Afghan military would rapidly collapse.
