This is a quote made by then Presidential candidate Joe Biden in Iowa on August 7, 2019. At first, we were very concerned that someone would make this type of gaff while on the campaign trail. We thought certainly most others would have the same conclusions, but this turned out to generally not be the case. Over time, we have become more aware that the statement made was not a faux pas (a false step, a slip, or a mistake). We believe this because those who believe that Truth and Facts belong in the same moral category need to rethink their stance on this assumption, that all people believe Truth and Facts are of the same ilk. In order to understand that there is actually a difference between those two concepts, we need to look at both words more closely to understand how certain individuals, even entities, do not place these words into the same category. Understanding this will better help us understand how our Nation’s citizens are being manipulated into subserviency.
Truth or Facts: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman!” This was the statement made by the President of the United States on January 26, 1998. Define for us what “sexual relations” means? As we are trying to keep this blog rated PG, some draw the line that anything up until intercourse does not constitute “sexual relations”. Others would draw the line that “sexual relations” are prevented only by the absence of flesh-on-flesh touch and should only be allowed within the confines of marriage. We don’t mean to pick on then President Bill Clinton, but unfortunately one must sleep in the bed you make. On August 17, 1998, he also said, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” How would you define the word “is”? Lawyers thrive on the ability to persuade or even deceive by contriving carefully worded statements, or by using a word that can have an ethereal meaning. Is the glass half full or half empty? It depends upon your perspective. Is the sky partly cloudy or mostly clear? Is her dress blue, or is it turquoise blue, powder blue, sky blue, electric blue, Air Force blue, baby blue, or steel blue? Again, your perspective, as a function of your up-bringing, experience or training, will dictate your response and it’s likely to differ from the person sitting next to you. So broadly speaking, are these issues of “Truth” or are they issues of “Facts”.
At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we believe there IS an ultimate Truth. Unfortunately, as flawed humans, we are not and cannot be the ultimate arbitrators of differentiation. Only the Creator can set and determine what is Truth and what are Facts. Even the governor of the Roman province of Judaea, Pontius Pilot, could not differentiate the real Truth when he said to Jesus, “What is Truth” (John 18:38).
We are a firm believer that Facts can always be manipulated to produce the desired results supporting one’s ideology. From where did you get your “Facts”? Did they come from a biased source; a survey weighted to support your theses; a flawed study; or derived from a hidden “whistleblower”. Were your “Facts” even real, or were they generated from false or pretend sources, or invented out of thin air?
Flawed humans, unguided by their Creator’s morals, are prone to lie to protect their livelihood, to retain their influence, to obtain their desired goals, and to preserve their personal ideology. People often choose to stray from telling the Truth in multiple ways. One can choose to simply ignore the issue and thereby avoid having to give indication one way or the other. Sometimes only part of the Truth is told, only the part that supports their ideology. Sometimes only a limited amount of the truth is shared in order to keep the “Truth” horses fastened to their agenda wagon. A good lie always includes some “Truth”, just enough to make it believable. However, sometimes the “Truth” is completely ignored. If it is ignored enough by telling the same lie over and over again, over time it can become the perceived “Truth”, even though it is still all a complete lie. This is called “GASLIGHTING”. Please go back and read our blog on February 27, 2022, titled, “GASLIGHTING – Is This Happening To Me?” Sociopaths are prone to share their own version of the Truth, in any of the ways above, to secure their desired outcomes. Please review our blog on June 13, 2021, titled, “Dangers of Sociopaths”. While you’re at it, read also our blog on June 16, 2021, titled, “What Establishes Conscience?” Both of these blogs will give you a better understanding of why and how certain individuals speak and act as they do, often in ways contrary to our better human nature. Unfortunately, there are those who are incapable of telling the Truth and of treating Facts justly. They are “Compulsive” liars, “Pathological” liars, “Sociopathic” liars, “White” liars, or “Careless” liars, take your pick (stylecraze.com; January 10, 2023). The current occupant of the White House has been prolific in sharing everything but the “Truth”, and in the process has shared “Facts” which have no basis in reality. How the general public continues to allow this individual to persist in his current position is beyond belief. Since a large percentage of the citizens within our Nation routinely absorb as “Truth” and “Facts” anything they see, hear or read from the usual media sources, maybe this is not so surprising. The sources they normally use include TikTok, Facebook (META), Twitter, Google, and Microsoft, all using forms of algorithms created to support agendas biased against traditional views of the majority of our citizens and running counter to the Constitution and Bill of Rights established as the bedrock foundation of our Nation. There are those who will go to any degree to twist, warp, and distort Truth and Facts just to achieve their goals and agendas. Their moral compass is broken.
It is incumbent upon us to review just a few of the lies the current occupant of the White House has told in hopes that a quick review will spur a renewed sense of urgency to become involved in our Nation’s political process, not simply by voting, but by expressing our “Truth” and “Facts” as honestly and morally as possible whenever the opportunity presents itself. As we have stated in other blogs, you probably can add to our list, but this list will just wet your whistle and maybe keep the fire in your belly burning in hopes that it will also light a fire under your feet to encourage you to become and stay more involved in saving our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY. The following lies and distortions of Truth and Facts have been a constant companion to the current occupant of the White House:
He was never arrested while supporting civil rights.
He never ” . . . had a house burn down with my wife in it . . . ” and didn’t “almost [lose] a couple firefighters” (minor kitchen fire with no evidence visible from the outside).
He never had a conversation with an Amtrak conductor in his seventh year as VP, when the guy retired 15 years before he became VP and the guy had died by the year of the tale.
Ne was never offered a job by an Idaho lumber company.
He never “used to drive” and 18-wheeler.
He never visited Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue after the 2018 massacre.
He was never a blue-collar worker.
“All the economists” never backed his plans.
He didn’t graduate in the top half of his class at Syracuse College of Law. He was 76th in a class of 85.
He did not visit Afghanistan and Iraq twice as president as claimed in 2022.
He was never appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965 by the late Senator J. Caleb Boggs (R-DE).
His son Beau did not die in Iraq as he has said on two separate occasions.
He claimed in 2019 to have never discussed business dealings with his son.
He never campaigned in all 54 states (we only have 50).
He was not “sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home.”
He never travelled 17,000 miles with the Chinese President.
The price of gas was not over $5 per gallon when he took office.
He never pinned a Silver Star on a Navy captain.
We did not have 0% inflation last July (it was 8.5%).
He did not “[graduate] with three degrees from undergraduate school”.
No one in his ancestry has any of his family worked in the coal mines.
He did not get all American’s out of Afghanistan.

He is a liar, one of or maybe all of the types of liars we noted above. Not listed above are numerous times he has stretched the “Truth”. He dropped out of the 1987 campaign because he plagiarized another’s speech. He creepily showered with his daughter, hugged, stroked, smelled and kissed on young kids and other men’s wives. He has taken money from other nation governments and citizens and compromised our Nation’s security. And now we learn he has been hording at unsecured locations the highest of top-secret documents for years without proper handling, storage, or approval.
Need we go on?
When it comes to Truth and Facts, the current occupant of the White House has failed our Nation. He has weakened us as a nation within our borders, and outside our borders in our standing around the world. He and his administration are as great a threat to our FREEDOM and LIBERTY as is the Chinese Communist Party.
