President Joe Biden on Wednesday made a pretty shocking claim about why the body of his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was never found after Finnegan’s plane went down during World War II.
“He got shot down in New Guinea,” Biden said at the United Steelworkers Headquarters in Pittsburgh. “And they never found the body because there used to be—there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea.”
Biden’s version of what happened to his uncle differs from the account provided by the Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, which says Finnegan was on board an A-20 Havoc plane that crashed on May 14, 1944, during a courier flight en route to New Guinea.
Rather than attributing the crash to any kind of hostile action, the DPAA says the aircraft went down for “unknown reasons” and was “forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea.” It says both of the plane’s “engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft's nose hit the water hard.” “Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash,” it adds. “One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge.”

I knew a guy back in high school that was just like Joe. He was a pathological liar. He would lie for no reason, when the truth would be easier, but he always had to make up something and no one could figure out why. Like Joe, I think he just couldn't help himself.

There is no way they will let Joe debate Trump. They know he can't hold up in a 2 hour head to head with a stuffed toy, much less Trump. They will have a million excuses [ all Trumps fault of course ] and the MSM will back them up.

I'm glad that we are not always opponents. I have supported Trump on our website numerous times. But not in everything.

This must be some Vichyssoise variant that Julia used to serve up as a war bride.
