President Joe Biden embellished details while telling a story about the disappearance of his uncle during World War II‚ suggesting that he had been eaten by “cannibals” after getting “shot down” in Papua New Guinea.  Biden‚ who made the comments during a Wednesday visit to Scranton‚ Pennsylvania‚ was referring to his uncle Ambrose Finnegan‚ a second lieutenant who served in the Fifth Air Force during the war. Finnegan went missing on May 14‚ 1944‚ while on a flight from Los Negros Island to Nadzab Airfield in New Guinea.  “He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals‚ for real‚ in that part of New Guinea‚” Biden said during his speech to steelworkers.  Biden‚ 81‚ told a similar story earlier in the day when visiting a World War II memorial in Scranton.  “He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time‚” the president said. “They never recovered his body‚ but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.” Biden’s comments about the disappearance of his uncle do not align with official government records about the crash‚ which suggest that the plane went down due to mechanical failure and that three of the men onboard drowned. “For unknown reasons‚ this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea‚” a U.S. military report on the incident says. “Both engines failed at low altitude‚ and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.” New Guinea was a key battleground during World War II as the Japanese sought to control the island for access to Australia‚ prompting fierce fighting through the island’s remote jungles. The island also has a history of cannibalism‚ with Michael Rockefeller‚ the son of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller‚ reportedly being eaten by a tribe of cannibals on the island in 1961. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP His remarks on Wednesday were not the first time he had made up details related to his relatives’ military service. During a speech in December 2022‚ Biden said that he got his uncle‚ Frank Biden‚ the Purple Heart for service during World War II. Biden claimed that as vice president‚ he awarded his uncle the Purple Heart for action during World War II in the Battle of the Bulge‚ saying the ceremony took place with his father and uncle. However‚ both Biden’s father and uncle had been dead for years before Biden became vice president in 2009. There was also no evidence that Biden’s uncle had been awarded the Purple Heart for his service.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio warned President Biden not to accept mass migration from Haiti‚ saying‚ “the job of elected officials is to protect their citizens first‚ not anyone else’s.” Rubio is intent on helping the Haitian people. After the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti‚ Congress passed the Haitian Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act to help rebuild Haiti’s domestic industry‚ but it expires in 2025. Last year‚ Rubio reintroduced the Act‚ saying‚ “It is in our national interest to help Haiti as it faces unimaginable hardships as a result of political corruption‚ natural disasters‚ and rampant crime. The HELP Act is an important bipartisan measure that will extend trade benefits and boost the country’s largest industry.” In mid-March‚ Rubio and fellow Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott wrote President Biden‚ “Floridians and the rest of the American public will not tolerate your administration again opening the floodgates for countless‚ unvetted foreign nationals to stream into our country‚ putting our national security at grave risk and creating untold public safety threats for our communities. We must consider this danger due to the numerous reports of gangs committing jailbreaks in Haiti and releasing thousands of dangerous criminals.” In his column discussing Haitian mass migration‚ Rubio noted that the Biden administration is pushing the Dominican Republic to accept three million Haitians fleeing their ravaged country. “This is unfair to the D.R.‚ which is a developing nation with limited resources‚ and which is already bearing significant burdens on Haiti’s behalf‚” Rubio wrote. “Anyone who doubts this should consider the fact that more than a third of all births in the D.R. are currently to Haitian citizens.” Then he addressed the possibility of mass migration from Haiti to the U.S.: “But encouraging illegal mass migration is also unfair to our country. The Biden Administration seems unaware that many Haitians view the D.R. as a stepping stone to Puerto Rico—and that a well-established smuggling ring to facilitate that journey already exists. Because our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico have their own fiscal constraints‚ illegal migrants that reach the U.S. territory would likely move on to the continental United States.” “Like most Americans‚ I recognize that what is happening in Haiti is horrible and tragic‚” Rubio continued. “The breakdown of law and order‚ the displacement of more than 300‚000 people‚ and the need of roughly five million for some form of aid—all of these are matters of grave concern. This is why I support the international peacekeeping mission that Kenya proposes to lead once Haiti has established a provisional government. In addition‚ I have reintroduced legislation to preserve U.S. trade benefits for Haitian manufacturers‚ which could prove a lifeline to legitimate Haitian businesses in this time of crisis.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “But‚ like most Americans‚ I also recognize that no country should experience illegal mass migration—not the D.R.‚ and not the United States. Illegal mass migration does no good for the nation people are migrating from‚” he stated. “When all able-bodied‚ law-abiding citizens leave their homeland‚ there is no one left to defend it from criminals and tyrants—and no one left to provide for the vulnerable who remain there. On a more fundamental level‚ though‚ I cannot support illegal mass migration because the job of elected officials is to protect their citizens first‚ not anyone else’s.”

“Succession” actor Brian Cox had some words of criticism for Joaquin Phoenix‚ saying he would have done a better job as the lead in Ridley Scott’s historical drama “Napoleon.” The 77-year-old actor called Phoenix’s performance “terrible” at London’s HistFest‚ per The Standard. “A truly terrible performance by Joaquin Phoenix‚” Cox said. “It really is appalling. I don’t know what he was thinking. I think it’s totally his fault and I don’t think Ridley Scott helps him. I would have played it a lot better than Joaquin Phoenix‚ I tell you that. You can say it’s good drama. No — it’s lies.” He added‚ “I think he’s well-named. Joaquin … wackeen … wacky. It’s a sort of wacky performance.” The “Succession” star also lamented historical inaccuracies present in films more generally. “’Braveheart’ is a load of nonsense‚” the actor said of the 1995 film starring Mel Gibson‚ which Cox also appeared in. “Mel Gibson was wonderful but it’s a load of lies. He never impregnated the French princess. It is a bollocks [sic] that film.” Scott previously responded harshly to French critics trashing his film. “Like all history‚ it’s been reported. Napoleon dies‚ then‚ 10 years later‚ someone writes a book. Then someone takes that book and writes another book and so‚ 400 years later there’s a lot of imagination [in history books]‚” Scott told The Times in November 2023‚ as The Daily Wire previously reported. “When I have issues with historians‚ I ask: ‘Excuse me‚ mate‚ were you there&;#63; No&;#63; Well‚ shut the f*** up then‚’” he added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Napoleon” has grossed $221 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics. The film was  praised for having realistic battle sequences and performances‚ but was criticized for the narrative’s historical inaccuracies. It was nominated for Best Production Design‚ Best Costume Design‚ and Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards. Scott said he was torn between Phoenix and another unnamed actor to play the main role‚ but was “blown away” by Phoenix’s performance in “Joker” (2019) and ultimately decided that Phoenix would be an “amazing asset” for the film.
