    ANNAPOLIS, MD (TND) — During a speech to graduating Navy midshipmen on
    Friday, President Joe Biden said he was appointed to the Naval Academy in
    1965 by then-U.S. Senator J. Caleb Boggs.

    But Biden graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, and the
    United States Naval Academy (USNA) doesn’t offer graduate degrees.

    “I was told the Class of ’72 is here. I was appointed to the academy in
    1965 by a senator who I was running against in 1972 — never planned it
    that way. I wasn’t old enough to be sworn in. I was only 29 years old when
    I was running,” Biden said Friday. “He was a fine man. His name is J.
    Caleb Boggs,” the president went on. “I didn’t come to the academy because
    I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named [Roger] Staubach
    and [Joe] Bellino here. So I went to Delaware.”

    Asked about the questionable claim Tuesday, White House Press Secretary
    Karine Jean-Pierre said she "did not see" that part of President Biden's speech.

    Lying carpet munching sack of shit.

    Q: "Joe Biden was born in 1942, graduated from Delaware in 1965. In his address, he said he was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965. Was he?"

    Jean-Pierre: "I did not see that part of the speech."

    Most commissioned officers take their oaths as seriously as death. Every
    single US citizen knows the same cannot be said of the Biden crime family.

    "The Oath of Office (for officers): "I, _____ (SSAN), having been
    appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States,
    as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm)
    that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
    against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any
    mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and
    faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to
    enter; So help me God.""

    Maybe he was, maybe not. The term should be "nominated"; politicians
    do not *appoint* people to the service academies. Senator Boggs could
    have made up to five nominations each year he was in office (and some
    make many more; the academies never tell them "no")... the same as any
    other member of congress could have done. Do the math: that's at
    least 2,675 nominations each year from congress alone; the executive
    branch also has a handful as do the commanding officers of 4-year ROTC programs. Heck, I received a nomination letter in 1967 from my
    representative in Oklahoma's 4th district (Tom Steed)... it's
    essentially just a letter sent to a specific address. BTW, I never
    met the Honorable Tom Steed. Were he still alive (he passed in 1983)
    and you asked him about it, he'd probably say: "Who?" I'm quite sure
    that the service academy wouldn't keep the letter, either.

    It sounds like a politician's stock speech talking point to me... but
    it's a safe one because, after 57 years, it's reasonably certain never
    to be proven either way. Now, if he said that he was gay and had
    actually *graduated* at the top of his class from Annapolis, and then
    gone on to command an aircraft carrier battle group in Vietnam, that
    would be a different story.
