Joe Biden wants to fact-check Donald Trump in real time
during the upcoming presidential debates. This is endlessly amusing in that
Sleepy Joe hasn’t uttered a truthful sentence recently with any greater
frequency than he has a coherent one. Perhaps both candidates should be fact-checked
equally. When Biden was in Kenosha, Wisconsin, recently to laud an “alleged” perpetrator
of sexual assault—and other crimes-- who had scuffled with police, he took time
out to talk history. He said, “Why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes?”
Well, Joe, that’s because we are too busy revising history and promoting
endless social justice wars.
He added, “A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison.” Um, no. Thomas
Edison invented the light bulb. That’s an incontrovertible fact. Lewis Latimer,
a black man and researcher under Edison, discovered a better way to manufacture
carbon filaments for Edison’s bulbs several years later.
You just know, the way things are
going, Biden will pull out all the stops in an attempt to shore up the black
vote…despite the fact he recently said, “If you’ve got a problem figuring out whether to
vote for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” He’s almost certain to say
something like, “It’s time we recognize that black people invented pants. And
the ‘boom box.’ Moreover, black folk also invented ketchup, water polo, tennis,
lattes, celery…and ice hockey.”
A Biden-Trump debate would be a fact-checkers dream…or
nightmare. Hyperbole is Trump’s forte, flat-out lying is Biden’s. Although, in
Sleepy Joe’s defense, he may no longer be aware that he is prevaricating. Or of
where he is. Thank goodness for teleprompters.
Biden might credit black people for inventing them,
too.
