CLAIM: President Joe Biden recently aired his oft-repeated claim he “used to Drive an 18-wheeler.” VERDICT:
False. “Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler,” CNN reported Wednesday: Biden has repeatedly embellished or invented biographical tidbits. In 2021, he claimed during a tour of a Mack Trucks facility: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” then added, “I got to.” At a separate 2021 event, he told college students studying truck technology, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” adding, “I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.” Biden’s...

A Texas SWAT team demolished the cab of an 18-wheeler truck with a bulletproof digger in order to pluck the driver out after he led them on an hours-long slow car-chase. Shocking

The Rook effortlessly ripped through the 18-wheeler's exterior and tore the door of the cab right off so that members of the Texas SWAT team could yank the driver out. Deputies had been forced to bring the massive truck to a stop by using spike...

As shootings and homicides continue to skyrocket across the city, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced a new emergency declaration on Thursday in an effort to combat the rising crime. . . . . “Portland

Part of the Safer Summer plan includes outreach efforts to Portlanders most at-risk of being involved in gun violence by “community-based messengers” that are not members of law enforcement, Wheeler explained. “Rather...

The 48-year political veteran made the claim while visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” the 78-year-old commander-in-chief told staff, video of the exchange shows — with him clarifying that he “got to” drive one. But
challenged by Fox News to produce evidence, a White House spokesperson could only point to a December 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler, not that he drove one.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has foolishly put herself—and the safety of the people of Chicago—in a game of chicken, with at least half the police force ready to defy her vaccine mandate and be sent home from work by City Hall without pay, rather than comply. “She

Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend. Biden
