Another day ending in “y,” another gigantic tall tale told by the “elderly man with a poor memory,” Joe Biden.

This time, Biden is telling the story of “Uncle Bosie,” Ambrose Finnegan, his mother’s brother. And either Biden’s memory is absolutely going bad, or he’s playing his version of “two truths and a lie” with everyone listening. Only he didn’t tell anyone that he was playing the game.

And not only did Old Joe tell this story once, he told it THREE TIMES in ONE DAY.

Biden, for the third time in less than 24 hours, tells the dubious story about his "Uncle Bosey" and "a lot of cannibals" in New Guinea before repeating the debunked "suckers and losers" hoax.

He also claims D-Day was on a Sunday (it was on a Tuesday).

Biden is like a puppy with a new chew toy – he’s going to beat the stuffing out of this story until it is absolutely dead. So, what is the actual truth to this story? Ambrose Finnegan did indeed serve in the Army Air Force during World War II, and he was presumed killed. However, the circumstances of his death are nothing at all like Joe claimed.

While in Pittsburgh, Biden spoke about his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., aiming to draw a contrast with reports that Trump, while president, had called fallen service members “suckers” and “losers.”

Finnegan, the brother of Biden’s mother, “got shot down in New Guinea,” Biden said. The president said Finnegan’s body was never recovered and “there used to be a lot of cannibals” in the area. Biden, who also relayed a version of the story earlier in the day after stopping by the memorial in Scranton, was off on the particulars.

The U.S. government’s record of missing service members does not attribute Finnegan’s death to hostile action or indicate cannibals were any factor.

“We have a tradition in my family my grandfather started,” said Biden, a toddler at the time of his uncle’s death in 1944. “When you visit a gravesite of a family member — it’s going to sound strange to you — but you say three Hail Marys. And that’s what I was doing at the site.”

According to the Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, Biden’s uncle, known by the family as “Bosie,” died on May 14, 1944, while a passenger on an Army Air Forces plane that, “for unknown reasons,” was forced to ditch in the Pacific Ocean off the northern coast of New Guinea. “Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard,” the agency states in its listing of Finnegan. “Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash.”

The agency said Finnegan was a passenger on the plane when it was lost. “He has not been associated with any remains recovered from the area after the war and is still unaccounted-for,” according to the agency.

So, the plane’s engines failed, it ended up ditching into the ocean, and Ambrose Finnegan is indeed presumed killed and lost at sea, like so many others who served during WWII. “Uncle Bosie” might have been eaten by sharks, but not by native tribes in New Guinea who were cannibals. (Why is no one calling out Joe Biden about how presumptively racist his story is?)

Ambrose Finnegan’s service and death are worthy of mention and merit, but Joe Biden simply cannot help himself. Grandpa Fibber just has to keep stretching his stories. After all, Beau Biden’s death from brain cancer has morphed over time into Beau’s death in Iraq, and his uncle Frank Biden was apparently getting a Purple Heart from Joe from beyond the grave. And speaking of Uncle Frank, Joe said back in December 2022 that his Finnegan uncles joined up on Monday, December 8, 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. But apparently that story has changed now as well.

But he also claims that his mother’s four brothers all went down the next day after D-Day “on a Sunday” and signed up for the military.

In addition to the fact that D-Day wasn’t on a Sunday (or Saturday), there’s another big problem with that story (and likely many more if we delved into it more). Ambrose Finnegan’s plane went down, and he went missing in New Guinea in May 1944. He was already in the military before D-Day, which was June 6, 1944.

He also didn’t enlist the day after D-Day as Biden claimed. According to reports, he enlisted in the middle of Jan. 1942.

Biden was probably trying to talk about Pearl Harbor, which was Dec. 7, 1941, which actually was a Sunday. Many people enlisted after that event. And if he can’t tell the difference between D-Day and Pearl Harbor, that’s a big problem. One was the start of the war, and the other was the beginning of the end, although it still took until April 1945 to finish the job.

And this is the guy that the Democrats are insisting is totally fine and able to serve another four years in office. Just listen to Karine Jean-Pierre try to spin her way out of this one.

Biden can be proud of his uncle’s service, but he doesn’t have to lie about it. He can be proud of Beau and be a grieving father, but he doesn’t have to lie about it. These huge whoppers actually demean their service and their sacrifices by tarring them with Joe’s incompetence, failing memories, and lies.

The whole point of telling these whoppers, of course, was to draw a contrast with Donald Trump, by repeating the debunked “suckers and losers” story pushed by The Atlantic years ago, which had zero evidence after the fact and no witnesses willing to go on the record to testify to it (and even left-leaning Snopes admits they can’t verify it). Joe Biden is trying to stretch his record as commander-in-chief to compare himself to Donald Trump. The thirteen dead at Abbey Gate were unavailable for comment. But the Biden campaign is absolutely set on proving that he is just as popular as Trump. Donald Trump, who is currently limited to day trips close to his Manhattan trial, got a huge reception at a bodega in New York. Joe Biden… did not have the same reaction in Pennsylvania.

Bonchie at RedState points out the glaring problems with this little totally-not-staged-at-all visit amongst the commoners at a gas station.

Walking in flanked by Secret Service agents, no one seems especially impressed to see Biden. There’s no large crowd and no one expressing support like you see when Donald Trump visits a public establishment. After slowly meandering to the counter, the president does manage to get one person to take a selfie with him while everyone else just stands around. He then just turns around and walks out. The entire visit took around two minutes.

As a political matter, this was a box-checking exercise and an ill-advised one at that. The contrast being drawn with Trump is not a good one, and I don’t just mean the lack of enthusiasm because what sticks out the most in that video is just how weak and feeble Biden is.

Look at how he walks. His arms barely move, to the point where you can tell he’s actively thinking about moving them to look more normal. Never mind the short, choppy steps he takes at a pace that would lose a race to a sloth. Mentally, he genuinely looks like he doesn’t know where he’s at or why he’s there. His handlers probably just pointed what direction to walk and he ended up in a gas station. Then when confronted by a reporter on a policy question related to China, he told them “Don’t jump.” Jump from where? The first floor?

Is anyone confident that this man will stay upright and mildly sentient for the next four years? What are the odds that something truly catastrophic, health-wise, happens to Joe Biden before August, when the Democrat convention takes place? What about before his 82nd birthday in November?

You don’t have to like Donald Trump to acknowledge that something is extremely wrong with Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical health. But so long as Biden keeps fibbing and faltering at this scale, his fitness for the presidency is absolutely in question. The easiest way to stop the speculation? Tell the truth! But as the last few decades of Joe Biden have told us, he has a loose relationship with the truth. His “poor memory” is hardly going to improve that. Biden is either lying, or his memory is going. Pick one.
