In a stunning display of lies and political pandering, President Joe Biden gave a speech in Wisconsin that left Americans scratching their heads.
The president, who has been embroiled in scandals since taking office, tried to distract the nation from his failures with a speech filled with absurd promises and blatant falsehoods.
As the country was captivated by a total eclipse of the sun, Biden suffered a total eclipse of his shame in Wisconsin. This former blue-collar state, once known for its working-class values, was forced to endure the ramblings of a career politician who wouldn’t know hard work if it punched him in the face.
Biden’s speech began with a rare moment of honesty as he admitted to taking orders from his wife, Jill. Apparently, Mrs. Biden demanded that her husband “stop it, stop it now” regarding Israel’s war on Hamas.
A day later, the president was on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, telling him to agree to a ceasefire.

But the most egregious part of his speech was his obsessive focus on canceling student loan debt. Using taxpayer money, Biden bragged about defying the Supreme Court and promising to forgive individuals’ debt selectively.
This is a slap in the face to hard-working Americans who chose not to take on massive amounts of debt for degrees in questionable fields like gender studies. This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to buy votes from a minority of Americans at the expense of the majority.

In typical Biden fashion, the president couldn’t resist sprinkling in some false claims about his own past. He shamelessly tried to portray himself as a self-made man who overcame a disadvantaged background. But the reality is that he comes from a family of privileged career politicians, and his father was a used car salesman. If anyone had opportunities to go to college, it was Biden; he just wants you to think he’s one of the working-class individuals he claims to represent.
BIDEN: “You know what the average [semiconductor manufacturing] salary is? $110K/year — and you don’t need a college degree!”
He’s lying. Workers with only a high school education can expect to earn around $40K/year, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. pic.twitter.com/P8uiWmGIK7

To add insult to injury, Biden also made wild claims about his accomplishments and how he is bringing jobs back to America. But the truth is that his own policies, like the DEI regulations within the CHIPS Act, are driving semiconductor companies away from the US. These companies cannot hire the necessary talent due to unrealistic diversity requirements and quotas. As a result, the American people will continue to suffer from job losses and a stagnant economy.
Biden’s speech was mercifully short, lasting only 15 minutes. But the damage he did with his absurd promises and lies will have long-lasting effects. America deserves someone who won’t use taxpayer money to buy votes and push their own agenda.
After just 14 minutes of remarks in Wisconsin (in which he pledged another multi-billion-dollar giveaway), Biden lets out a cough and shuffles off the stage.
