Biden did it again on Tuesday. He told tall tales and yelled gibberish. A heckler interrupted him as he spoke at Union Station in Washington, D.C., about the care economy, which the United Nations defines as “paid (employed both in the formal and the informal sectors) or unpaid work that provides care for others”.
The president responded angrily: “Well, let me tell you…you want to come finish the speech or shush up?” He then looked at the protester and decided against it, because he thought the man was tough. Biden retreated, grinning suddenly as if he realized Jill was going to scold him for his anger later. “He looks like he could take me!”
The next moment, however, was the most bizarre of all. He shouted something that sounded like “ASKME!” When I asked the White House for help, they translated it to “AFSCME!” AFSCME is the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, and it’s possible he was giving them a shout-out, but it still was a random and shocking moment.

Biden’s speeches are not complete without some outrageous claims that are completely detached from reality. He claims, in a laughable way, that he has shaved a trillion dollars from the deficit.

No, they haven’t — their policies have *ADDED* to the deficit. pic.twitter.com/vkICuCgKQR

This lie has been repeatedly discredited by Politifact, a leftist fact-checking site.
Biden presided over a decline in the federal deficit of $1.4 trillion between 2021 and 2022. This was the largest reduction of the federal deficit in a single year. The deficit decreased by a smaller amount, but still by nearly $1.1 trillion when comparing the two years from 2021 to 2023.
The decline was mainly because the pandemic had been a historical event of extraordinary proportions, which prompted a temporary and aggressive government response.
Even the reduced deficit on Biden’s watch is greater than any deficit on Trump’s. The federal debt is still rising, but at a slower pace than during the pandemic.
According to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the deficit will increase in 2024.
The federal government recorded a February 2024 deficit of 296 billion dollars, which is $34 billion higher than the February 2023 deficit of 262 billion dollars.
Joe went on to claim that he is a tax-cutting master:

Biden’s claim may be disputed, but his massive budget for 2025 indeed seems to be designed both to soak the wealthy and crush the little guy.
Jason Smith, the House Ways and Means chairman (MO-08), points out that Biden’s tax increases would be massive.
Biden’s tax hike of $7 trillion on families and small businesses will result in fewer jobs and higher prices. It will also give us a competitive edge over China. These tax increases are not aimed at the wealthy but rather at workers, small business owners, retirees, family farms, and ranches. With the IRS receiving another $104 billion, and the ability to approve penalty increases, Democrats are on a fast track to collecting your life savings.
Biden also boasted about his commute of over one million miles in the U.S. Amtrak, perhaps. His Delaware home is about 220 miles away from D.C. This would require at least 4,546 trips. RNC Research noted that this is the equivalent of going to the moon twice.
I would like to see receipts that show that the president traveled this far by train during his career.
The speech was another example of the many speeches in which Biden, who is often confused, will say anything to make his story sound better. It doesn’t matter if it is true or not.
