Gary Varvel: Biden’s whopper about cannibals is hard to swallow

List of the president’s greatest fibs

Last weekend, our president told a story about his Uncle Ambrose being shot down over New Guinea during WWII and his body was never recovered because there were “cannibals.”

The Fact-Checkers couldn’t cover for him, this time. The truth is Ambrose’s plane was not shot down but lost at sea.

The Bible says, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he (Satan) is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44)


President Joe Fibbin’ has a long history of lying. Here’s a short list of some of his greatest whoppers:

  1. Biden said he was a civil rights leader, participating in sit-ins. Never happened.
  2. In 2007, Biden said he was “shot at” while in Iraq. The truth is that he was in the green zone when a mortar landed several hundred yards away, reported the Hill.
  3. He said in 2008, a helicopter he was riding in was “forced down” near Osama bin Laden’s lair in Afghanistan. The truth is: They waited out a sandstorm.
  4. The president said his Delaware house caught fire, almost killing his wife, dog, and cat and melting his Corvette. Fox and the Associated Press reported that it was just a small kitchen fire.
  5. Biden said he never spoke to his son about his family’s business dealings. Multiple witnesses claim Biden dined with his son’s business associates.
  6. Biden lied during a 2020 debate saying his son, Hunter, never received money from China. In 2023, Hunter admitted that he did accept funds from China.
  7. In 1987, Biden dropped out of the 1988 presidential race for plagiarism. He claimed: “My ancestors…worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours,’’ even though no one in Biden’s family tree ever worked underground. That was British Labor leader Neil Kinnock’s family.
  8. Biden claimed he was arrested in the 1970s because he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in prison. It never happen.
  9. Biden boasted at a 1987 rally, “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship…[and] ended up in the top half of my class” and “graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school.” Not one of those claims was true, as newscasters at the time affirmed. In fact, Biden graduated 76th of 85 students in his law school class.
