Biden boasts teaching 'political theory' at UPenn, but he never taught a single class
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Biden, who has never taught a single semester-long course at the University of Pennsylvania, mused on Thursday about when he used to "teach political theory" at the Ivy League school.
"Our democracy is under attack, and we got to fight for it," Biden, 80, said during a speech at Maryland's Prince George's Community College.
"I taught at the University of Pennsylvania for four years and I used to teach political theory. And folks, you always hear, every generation has to fight for democracy."
Biden was an honorary professor at the Philadelphia school, serving as the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Professor of the Practice from February 2017 to April 2019, between his term in the White House as vice president and the start of his presidential campaign.

But his responsibilities never included teaching semester-long classes, conducting independent research, and handling administrative responsibilities - typical duties of professors.
Biden made a dozen or so public appearances on campus but never taught a regular class, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One of the visits was a November 2017 event promoting his book "Promise Me, Dad," according to the Daily Pennsylvanian.
Other Biden appearances included Q&As with UPenn administrators, one lecture to Wharton business school graduate students and public events with former Mexican President Felipe Calderon and former UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Biden reaped about $900,000 in income from the school while he held the honorary post.

The embellishment comes a day after the White House was called out for the president's frequent factual misstatements.
"The president has lied about being at Ground Zero the day after the Sept. 11 attacks, falsely claimed he saw the Pittsburgh bridge collapse, claimed his grandfather died in the hospital days before his birth. What is going on with the president? Is he just believing things that didn't happen did happen, or is he just randomly making stuff up?" Washington Times reporter Jeff Mordock asked White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on Wednesday.
The White House spokesman dodged a question about the absent professor.

Yup, that's no joke.
Always remember: the regime in power has to fight for democracy over the people who challenge it / S
Yesterday he also told a group of rabbis he was raised in the synagogues of Delaware.
he’s a walking parody. He can’t stop lying about his background
This guy lives in a parallel universe where the things he WISHES he had done, he actually did. Time to go Joe........sadly but c'mon man
I've seen the light. This trivial story has convinced me I have to vote for Donald Trump. Biden lies about the extent of his three year association with the school (he said four god damn him) and of his duties (he claims he "taught" at the school when all he did was occasionally give an informal lecture). What stolen honor!
Impeach him !
Trump 2024 !!!!!
Glad you seem to be coming around to accepting reality.

We don’t have to impeach him over this, but couldn’t we get a nominee for the job who isn’t so wildly full of shit?
The University of Pennsylvania received millions of dollars in secretive Chinese and foreign donati ons — even as the university’s Biden Center for Foreign Policy was home to scores of mishandled classified documents.
Since President Biden’s inauguration, Penn has received more than $50 million in foreign funding, including more than $14 million in anonymous gifts from China and Hong Kong. That’s on top of the more than $60 million Penn received since the Biden Center launched in 2017.
Concurrently, the Biden Center became home to what some have called a “national-security-council-in-waiting.
"New reports of secret donations sent by Chinese donors to a second American university that houses a Biden institute warrant an independent investigation to determine the extent of the Biden family's ties to the CCP, the founder of the Government Accountability Institute told Fox News Wednesday.
The news comes after records revealed that the University of Pennsylvania, which runs the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., where classified documents were recently discovered from Biden's time as vice president, similarly received over $14 million from unnamed contributors in China and Hong Kong after establishing a center in the president's name.

Interesting how Joe's tenure coincides so well with the Chinese money flowing into the University - during that same four (4) year "teaching term".
“Hey honey! Why are our kid’s tuition bills so fucking high?”
Geez!
