New in PJ Media:
Snopes and FactCheck.org are unlikely to tell you this, but I will: insulin wasn’t actually invented at all. Insulin is a hormone produced within the body. In 1923, Frederick Banting and J.J.R. Macleod were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering insulin. So right off the bat, what Old Joe Biden says is hogwash: no one “invented” insulin, unless Joe meant that he was talking to the God whom he otherwise ignores unless he feels it necessary to flaunt his alleged Catholic piety for political purposes.
But giving Joe the benefit of the doubt, maybe he meant that he spoke with Banting or Macleod. The only problem with that is that Banting died in 1941 and Macleod in 1935; Joe Biden was born in 1942. So what’s going on here? Is it Joe’s addiction to lying again or his galloping dementia again?
Speaking Tuesday in Florida on lowering prescription drug costs, Biden said:
Now, starting in January, we’re also capping the cost of insulin. How many of you know somebody with diabetes who needs insulin? Well, guess what? And we — when we — f — when — when — we — when Debbie and I passed this law, it included everybody, not just seniors. And so, what happened was, we said, Okay, you know how much it cost to make that insulin drug for diabetes? Cost — it was invented by a man who did not patent it because he wanted it available for everyone. I spoke to him, okay? And guess what? It cost 10 bucks to make. Ten bucks to make. And if you count packaging and everything, you can maybe get it up to $15.
There is a remote possibility that Biden might actually be saying something that is close to true and accurate. When Banting and Macleod won the Nobel Prize, each one of them shared it with another researcher whom they said had been instrumental in the process: Banting shared his Prize with Charles H. Best and Macleod with James Collip. Collip died in 1965, when Old Joe was busy plagiarizing at Syracuse University College of Law, so he is an unlikely candidate for such a meeting, but Best died in March 1978, after Biden had served five years in the Senate. These scientists did patent the insulin drug but then sold the patent to the University of Toronto for one dollar so that a pharmaceutical company could not patent the drug and it would be available to everyone.
Did Senator Biden at some point speak with Charles Best? It’s remotely possible, but it’s also ridiculous that speculation of this kind is necessary in order to try to determine the veracity of what the president of the United States has said.
There is more. Read the rest here.

That sounds plausible to me, it seems that he and Hillary Clinton have a special gift, they both speak to the dead.
“Bill Clinton Oct 2012 Hillary talks to Eleanor Roosevelt.”

We know what happened to King Saul when he went to the witch to have her get in touch with Samuel who had died. Bad, wicked and evil people never reach a bottom limit to where they will go.
Phil Copson says
At least Hillary got the name right – Biden is so lost that when plagiarising someone else’s anecdote about Roosevelt’s funeral, he rendered the late President’s name as “Franklin Derano”.

Perhaps this is something else dementia Joe is lying about, HIS AGE!

Decades ago, a law was passed that gives those on social security…retired, not the young disabled…an increase if the price of goods increases.
biden and his ragged ann spokesperson made the claim that the increase coming next year is all because of biden, giving him full credit for the next increase.
And the last line in your article, Mr. Spencer, says all one needs to know. His lies, and those of his henchmen, have “reached clear to heaven.”

“Biden and his raggedy ann spokesperson made the claim that the increase coming next year is all because of Biden, giving him full credit for the next increase.”

Yes, but you have to admire the sheer chutzpah of claiming credit for the biggest increase in pensions for 40 years, when it’s only because you’ve just caused the highest inflation in 40 years.
(Next week: “Thanks to my administration, tens of thousands of American citizens will never have to work another day – because I allowed them to be killed off by fentanyl overdoses!”)

Biden doesn’t seem to know whether he is Arthur or Martha as that old saying goes. He lives on planet dementia. On Sky NEws in Australia yesterday they showed him also not seeming to know what year it was, during a public speech, as he stumbled around rambling on about the decades of the 21st century. I realise that he is just a puppet and he has handlers running the show but he is a bloody embarrassment. Ditto for that constantly cackling idiot Kamal Harris.
Check Burry says
Yes kamall, says much, and it is meaningless to me, utter gibberish, woke speech, gobbledegook, though I think we should thank jo for his expansion of the Great USA to 54 states, his finest hour.
Check Burry says
What an amusing fellow Joe is.
mick says
Necromancy.
Yet another skill to be added to his CV.

I am waiting for the day Joe claims he invented or knew the guy who invented fire!

Meanwhile the entire World is laughing as Americans of good character cry as to what kind of person is speaking for America… So very very sad indeed..
