Just wanted to give you all an attaboy on doing a fantastic job with the research into this mind blowing videos that are just getting better and better.
Job well done sir 🫡
@@colinwithonel.9831 thanks a ton!
Was his uncle killed in the war? Did his dad really lose his job? Did Biden really 💩 His pants? Was it really the same stable jesus who told us our problem during the revolutionary war was that we didn't have enough airports?.... No joke!, It's no joke.
Biden was always such a liar.
And not just a liar.
A damned liar.
A god-damned liar.
Pls reveal the TRUTH about "BEAU BIDEN" Where HE really died and of WHAT! Thank you!

Sounds like a line near the end of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence".
He's a liar , not a story teller.
Lt. Finnegan & crew served honorably. This can't be said for his lying nephew.
He is a great President.
@@kimoandrews5802 Great for who? China?, Iran?, Mexico? Surely you don't believe he's great for America. Even his former boss said "Don't understimate JB's ability to F-things up", and he's done just that with everything he touches. If that's your standard and you're strattled with student loan debt, then yes, great president.

I'm not into Biden. I won't be voting for him , but if Trump were to lose , was it rigged ? Was the last election stolen from him ?
that was unfunny af💀💀
Q: Why won't cannibals eat clowns?
A: Cuz they taste funny.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Good one. Hahaha!!!!
Cannibals wouldn't have eaten Ambrose anyway! Everyone knows cannibals don't eat the Irish because, when you put one in the stew pot, the bugger eats all the potatoes!!!! ( Benny Hill )
When my dad had dementia, he claimed he had been to the moon. At least he did not control nuclear weapons.
My mother had dementia and also made some wild assertions. She imagined many things that were not true.
I’m sorry you went through that. I did with my mother and mother in law. Don’t wish it on anyone
But he did pay off porn stars.
A man should be able to make a will in case this happens to do what he would want to do
I would not want my family to see me that way .

My late father served with US Army Signal Corps in Papa New Guinea. For this person to make up stories about his family's military history is a slap to the memory of all who served and died fighting for their country.
Exactly. They died in their service to our country but Biden always has to exaggerate....ok, outright lie about things. US Army veteran here, there's no need to exaggerate. So many lacked the mettle to service at all.....🫡
I salute your father, my Dad was also on New Guinea with the Corps of Engineers, (he never mentioned any cannibals).
@@garymorris1856 Thanks and same to you.
Neither did my father, but he did mention the presence of japanese snipers more then once.
@@garymorris1856 Granddad was stationed in New Zealand. I never heard anything as crazy as Biden claims... some stories about Maoris that spoke English better than his flight crew.. but nothing about cannibals in New Guinea.
I find it hilarious that Papua New Guinea felt the need to release a statement refuting Biden's BS. Thanks for the excellent video TJ. Stay Awesome!
Joe Biden's mouth has no reliable connection to reality.
Not hilarious, it's sad that the American president is a liar.
Also in the past they used to really eat people so are sensitive about it. Biden as always is juts lying.
why hilarious, the president slandered them.
They were insulted, wouldn't you be? Especially when they risked their necks for the Allies for nothing.
First, the cannibal children played with his hairy legs. They were so memorized that they turn blonde in the sun.

Was the Cannibal's name "Popcorn"..??
Yes. And he was a bad dude
Corn pops brother
Cornpop. The imaginary friend of this president is referred to as Cornpop. That is his street name he was not in the military.
And growing up he was Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Southern Baptist and raised in a black Puerto Rican Irish neighborhood.
No no no no true story I'm telling you! 😅
Freaking hilarious 😂😂😂😂.
RIP captain Cornpop.
He’s not dead, he’s at your mom’s.
So good 😊 ole 🌽 pop went from a bad man 👨 to a Captain 🧑✈️. That’s quite a jump, don’t you think 🤔? Unreal, very unreal.
@@writer125 This reel said he was a Lt.
@@SamanthaGunn500 So regardless of his rank, he still went from being a bad man 👨 to someone serving his country. That’s still quite a jump, don’t you think 🤔?
AH, good old Uncle Bosey & the Cannibals. Sounds like a rock band. Unreal, very unreal.
🤣😂😄🤣
And the cannibal story was stolen from H.W. Bush.
Now you know why I named him potato Head 😂
The men and women of this great generation that served during WWII deserve our utmost respect and admiration. Thank you for all your videos.
Thanks for watching!
He was not shot down, and was not eaten by cannibals. That does not diminish his service to our country, however. Much respect and honor to all our combat veterans.
So you think lying to the people who pay you is good service to our country? The man lies about everything and I mean everything
It is just a fact that JB spun into a risible yarn to promote a political promotion for himself
@@PeterShaw-ne1yq why not? he uses his sons death as a political tool.
There are some rotten s.o.b’s in politics and Biden /Obama take the prize.
That's not the issue. JB lying about it is.
Boy if he was eaten by cannibals they don't have heartburn wouldn't they.
Yes, and cannibals ate him and his plane. Corn Pop said it was true so I believe it.
A politician lied. Shocker.
How old was Biden when this happened? I recall my own Mother telling me my uncle, her brother, was gassed during the War. I had no reason to doubt this. What I'm getting at is if he was only six or seven, the adults could have told him that so he'd appear as a hero; his body was never recovered.
FJB can't seem to keep from stretching the truth, must be ice cream brain freeze.
More of a shocker would be Biden actually telling the truth. But I'm sure he was suffering from PTSD after that fight to the death with cornpop. Or it could be the worst case of shaken baby disorder from Joe's millions of miles Joey was driving his 18 wheeler. Roll on Joe, roll on!!! Lying sac'o chit!!!
@@oglehom6208no the canibuls removed his brain
@@chrishayden7016 but biden isnt 6 or 7 years old.
Thanks for putting this out. For honoring the men and setting the record straight.
That is why the Nederlandsche Gouvernement had a detention camp in Boven-Digoel from 1926 til 1943. The guards were sharks and crocodiles in the river, endemic malaria and headhunters in the jungle. Better guards you can not get.
Thank you for doing the research.
Some truth is refreshing. Thanks for the research.
Thanks for watching!
I too am pleased to see the truth presented. It is sad that Joe plays so fast and loose with it and that so many people refuse to believe that he lies.
I lived in Delaware for 13 years in the 80s and 90s. He was a liar back then just as he is now!
All politicians are bullshit artists.
All of them.
Dover, AFB for me. Biden would come for various ceremonies, escorted by like twenty State Troopers. It was sickening.
His uncle was probably a cook that never left state side.
So what if he was?!? He served his country. More than can be said about Joe the JOKE....

My father, Maj. Frederick O. Blair flew 25 missions on "Old Baldy" as bombardier out of Port Moresby, New Guinea in late 1943. As incredibly tough as B-17s were, men who flew them were aware of how little it took to have engine issues or other problem on these, even during their height of service when they were kept reasonably fit for service. My dad ended up with dozens of full sized crew pictures out of Port Moresby. Had them bound into a book he tried selling at the Army Air Corps reunions in the 1980's and early 90's, with a bit of success. My dad had flak wounds and some metal in his right hand and arm until his passing in 1996. Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, 6 children. School teacher on Long Island for 22 years. Hero in every sense, to me, and to many of whom his life touched. Not overly religious in any demonstrable way, but deeply Christian in his charity to all he met, always giving what he had away, up to and including the day he died. When I think back to the spoiled, coddled children and young adults we were. The "crazy stuff" we got up to as teenagers? It would never hold a candle to flying in a B-17, right through anti-aircraft fire to try and get a bombing mission done. Learning how to skip bomb from low LOW altitudes. Love, sorrow, joy, deep respect - I lost my dad in 1996, 6 weeks before my son was born. I became a dad, as I lost mine. I remember palpable fear at the fact that the reigns were being handed over. To us. My generation isn't worth crap compared to the camaraderie, bravery faith and love these men gave their country. It's not about how many flags you can paint on your truck. Honor, glory, love and pride; I have it all for you dad in abundance, forever.
God Bless your Father...
and his service.
The reason it's called, the greatest generation........
Those look like A-20's...... B-17's were rare in the Pacific.....
I just wanted to thank u for ur story. Your dad sounds like a great man and would of loved speaking with him. I'm a collector of war memorabilia. But the best part of doing that is hearing stories about the Great men who served our country. I thank your Father for his service to this Country and wish I could of met him to hear some of his stories.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
AMEN!
My Son is a British soldier. Salute to your pops.
Too many fools about today think that flying a flag or sticking bumper stickers on their lifted trucks is patriotism, but those same fools baulk at the very idea of armed resistance to a worse tyranny than we faced in WW2...
No guts but plenty of mouth..
Men like your father valued action over meaningless talk and I respect that to the nth degree.
F.L.A.K. is a German WW II acronym. Feld Laden Anti-Luft Kraft kanon. Light guns mounted on small trucks. Usually 40mm. The most famous ACK was the 88mm, AKA 8,8cm.
Thank you for your work!

Old Slow Joe Biden is such an accomplished liar that he actually believes that he has a special talent for duping the public. 🥸
My grandfather was a cannibal. He verified Brandon's uncle was eaten and the entire tribe got sick.
Did they have "Brandonitis"

Thank you for this story❤
Great presentation.
Wonder how Finnigan and his crew would feel about things today.
They would be embarrassed by all the Republican traitors sucking up to the Russians and putting a facist in the Whitehouse.
Total disgust.
💯 percent. considering they gave there lives fighting communism in ww2 and now we have communists running our government trying to normalize it and . Selling out there office for profit. Its totally disgraceful whether you like trump or not.
@@user-bh2ud1mw3f lmao
@@aleinstein3223At least you finally admitted Joe Biden is a fascist.
I have thoughts about Biden, but as TJ said, it's important that the stories of these men are remembered and told correctly in honor of their sacrifices.
Great video
Good information
His uncle was a mailman.
Never thought of it that way(?).
prob a traitor too...prob sold info to Germany
Yup, a courier. And Beau was a lawyer.
Surprised Joe hasn’t told you about him being an ace in world war 2 while driving a truck back in the United States .
No! He was an engineer in a locomotive that drove across the Pacific ocean on a railroad bridge.🤪
He didn't do either. He was too busy leading Minute Men across the Delaware from Scranton to save a blonde woman from a giant ape on the Empire State building.
You miss quoted he flew as a ace and when shot down he drove a truck all the way back to America holding of the enemy single handed with a broom made by the canabiles that ate his uncle as he couldn't shoot a gun as he doesn't belive in them while he was in the service he made general and took all the guns from the troops and gave them brooms and they made a clean sweep of things
@@hobbit321a I thought he held them off with Snickers bar while eating ice cream, then single handedly sniffed them to death???
@stevedallas4942 I belive that you are correct and I got the email version off the laptop
At the very time the Overlord mission was happening on D-Day, my father was serving in the US Army on New Guinea, (he never mentioned any cannibals).
My grandpa served most of his tour in WWII in Australia and Papa New Guinea. He told me that the "Fuzzy Wuzzys" were pretty friendly and never tried to hurt or eat anyone. In fact, they learned to enjoy the small cantinas that were built for the guys serving on the island after they found out what beer was.
I was very saddened to learn about the loss of Bud Anderson, TJ.........even at the very ripe old age of 102 this man was a hero great until the end. He had the most interesting long term military career and personal life (including marrying his fellow pilot and best friend's widowed wife for 70 years!) and I hope you can do another special on this phenomenal aviator and person! Jim C.
Thanks Jim!
Cornpop was head of the cannibals.
Oh man! I wish I'd have said that. Lmao!!!
Better known in Papuan neighborhoods as Rib-Pop🤔
Great History lesson
This is exactly how claims should be investigated. Lay out the available documents and survivor accounts. Thanks for a great video !
Telling these stories after serious research does a great service to these men. It doesn't seem fair that being killed during a mission deemed non combat was downgraded by the military.
Yes agreed. Unfortunately that's how they have to do it - otherwise people in car accidents, etc, far from the front lines would be listed as combat injuries.
The lesson is don’t make up stories.
Correct ! These men were SERVING "OUR" Country during WARTIME . There Remembrance AND Sacrifices Should
NEVER be FORGOTTEN . Their role WAS indeed a WARTIME MISSION ,regardless if it was in direct Combat or Otherwise .
Famous musician Glenn Miller's plane went down somewhere in the English Channel during WWII. As famous of a great trombone player he was, he was still a music man and not a high ranking officer involved in trying to win that war. The military did not have the luxury of spending hundreds of man hours trying to find his remains. He was simply mourned by his loving public who had to except the fact he was lost.
@@donaldpruett852 a B24 en route to Germany had engine trouble and dumped it's bombs before RTB. The bombardier looked down his sight and was horrified to see a twin engine transport aircraft fly right into the geysers thrown up by explosions. He reported this at debriefing. It's never really been a mystery.
When history is told to you by your family and you want to believe it compared to what really happened makes all the difference in the world. I appreciate how you deliver this. I went through this myself and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.
Yes absolutely. I would bet very strongly that Biden is repeating what he has been told by family members. So it is not necessarily that he is being dishonest, but rather - few of his family members even know what actually happened and so his sources were probably wrong from the start.
Yeah, after all Hur did say he was just a sympathetic old man with a failing memory :p
Ask all the Lost Cause Confederates.
I hole hardly agree with you. Have a great Memorial weekend and be safe! U.S. ARMY VET 🇺🇲
Not if you are president. ANY lack of veracity, including sex in the Oval Office, building a wall, not raising taxes. At 61 years old, I have seen a lot of lies, but his senility perhaps is 'twisting' the truth in his mind. That is truly dangerous. The result is a cabinet the greatly impact the country, as well as lying press staff.
WOW! History was made on my birthday
How the elephant got into his uncle's pajamas we may never know...🐘
Bush’s crewmen were not eaten by the Japanese. Bush successfully bailed out and was later rescued by a submarine. One of his crewmen also bailed out, but his chute didn’t open and he fell into the ocean. The third crewman went in with the plane, possibly already dead.
However, other American airmen, shot down over that island and taken prisoner, were murdered and their livers eaten by some Japanese officers. See the book ‘Flyboys’ by James Bradley.
The TBM was notoriously dangerous for the crew in a bailout situation. The pilot had the best chance of the three crew members. The rear turret had a fairly wide escape hatch on the left side (the gunner's right) that could be released by the gunner. Unfortunately, the gunner needed to correctly execute his escape or risk getting hit by the tail empennage, which may have been the fate of the man who fell. Furthermore, the turret escape hatch was designed to work properly when the turret was pointed directly aft. If the turret was pointed to the side, the hatch could become jammed between the turret and the fuselage. The radio operator/bombardier used the small crew entry door on the lower right of the aircraft to bail out. He was in little danger of hitting the tail but needed to be careful to avoid snagging his gear on the doorframe.
As a rule, Navy aircrew preferred ditching to bailing out. Grumman, an aviation company perhaps more closely associated with the USN than any other, incorporated flotation equipment into their designs which gave those Navy airmen a better chance of survival at sea than most others. If at all possible, TBM pilots were strongly encouraged to ditch. With full flaps, the Avenger could remain under control at just a smidge over 65 mph, which is about as good as it gets as far as water landings are concerned. (Ask Sully.)
I grabbed "Flyboys" out of a small, cottage are library thinking it might be a good yarn like Baa Baa Black Sheep. Kind of a downer to see that Japanese officers had a cult of cannibalism to gain strength from their US enemies. They were hanged after the war.
They were referring to the crews of other planes shot down during the mission. There was a relatively high number of planes lost on that raid.
@@johngaither9263it’s sad that you had to elaborate about that. You’re absolutely correct.
Not one story Biden has told has ever been true.
At this point I wonder if Biden can even tell the truth
Doubt it, his senility has taken him over.
I do think that he likely is telling what he *believes* to be the truth. Although it is entirely off from the actual details and gets many other obvious details wrong. In this clip I even cut off another part where he says it happened after D-Day. But that was also false. Haha
I don’t think he has ever told the truth!!! EVER!!!
Republicans wrote the book on lying with tubby as their liar in chief
We need an honorable man like your master Stinky. What is he up to now? 30,000 lies? He is a convicted rapist,fraud, and soon to be felon.That makes him a perfect Reichwing Republican don't you think? He's now using more Nazi terminology and verbiage. What a great man you worship.
PILOT: Finnegan, did you forget to fill up the tank?
FINNEGAN: Sorry Captain, I thought you meant we had to eat and have a belly full.
Imagining Uncle Bozy on that plane reminds me of that Indiana Movie where Ford goes to save his father and they escape from the blimp where he shoots the tail off their escape plane.
I realize the supply and maintenance issues during wartime. A plane makes a belly landing, crashes into a parked airplane and pretty well destroys the cockpit, gets repaired all in a few weeks then having it fly 350 miles over water to deliver communications...what could possibly go wrong with this picture? Sadly, we'll never know but these type of hero's are who we should remember this weekend (Memorial Day). Thanks for this.
Amen 🫡
Brandon doesn’t remember anything 😂
With the political climate in the country being what it is, you handled this with great tact and decorum. Well done, and keep up the good work. These 10-20 minute videos are great!
Thank you so much for covering the story, and shutting light on the darkness surrounding it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families 🙏
May God bless and keep them and we are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
I respect your request to keep this appropriate so I will only say, on behalf of the president and future presidents of these United States and the people who make up this country, we need a age cap. 66 is a senior. No one older than 66 should be president...
This was probably the same uncle that was eaten by canibals.
Very nice job of telling the complete story and doing this man’s service honor, especially with this upcoming weekend
Thank you!
Was there a mysterious bag, full of white powder found near the bones of unkle ambrose? 🙄
You have to think the local natives would know rescuing and returning a downed American aviator would reap them a large reward.
My Dad had an blacksheep/much maligned uncle that died overseas in the war. He was told he got run over by a truck on a bender. But later, going through my great Aunt's things, found out he died of infectious disease. Kind of the opposite of the grandstanding politician I guess. Funny how the phrase "Dirty Old Man" made it's way into the story.
I just can't believe anything Biden says. Not now not ever!
The Allies gave Biden his aviator glasses for shooting the Red Baron down.
Not snoopy.
I think Corn Pop hired the cannibals to devour his uncle. 😂
It was underwater cannibals...Cannibal News Network did a fact check.

Bro..This is Top Top HISTORIC FACTS...
YOU ARE THE BEST HISTORIAN, AND STORY TELLER..
Thanks :)
Very impressive , thorough research! 👍 At 10:12, the Japanese ate POWs as a _delicacy,_ not because they were starving. In other words, cannibalism was not a "last resort" for the Japanese, it was more like a habit.
And that's why the US declared war on Papua New Guinea in 1946 and old Joe went there and won that war. The story was retold in the classic movie Tropic Thunder.
I grew up in the highlands of New Guinea in the late 1950's and early 1960's. When my family went there, outsiders had first arrived only a few years earlier. I would have been the first white kid a lot of the locals would have ever seen. From what I can make out, stories of cannibalism by the native New Guineans are wildly exaggerated. There are two peoples that are known to have regularly indulged in cannibalism. On is the Fore who ritualistically ate the brains of their dead relatives and the other is the Korowai who are known for eating enemies defeated in battle. However the latter one may be a myth used to promote tourism.
Certainly there was no cannibalism where I grew up. There was no need for it. The place was really fertile, with lots of rain. There was never a shortage of food.
The idea that the indigenous peoples of New Guinea were constantly ready to pounce on and consume any dead body they came across has no credibility at all.
An additional task given to curriers, was to bring in the US mail.
Along with command communications, parts for mechanics, medications for field hospitals and the cards and letters and cookies from home, to the men stationed there.
The regular mail was maybe as important to the men and women of any base along the front.
A single letter, had made or broken many a soldier.
Sometimes, the base currier would be relegated to flying in the standard cargo aircraft, or even to the back of a duce and a half, to get to point be and back.
So ole Finnigan was a pretty important guy as things go.
But the plane he was on, colliding with a plane called "Dirty Old Man." Well that sounds less like a plane crash, and more like a family reunion!
A pilot N Biden flew with the SAAF Number 1 squadron in the western dessert in Ww2. I believe he survived the war but was later killed in the Korean War .A relative Major J Gaynor ( who is buried at Anzio ) flew in the same squadron .
I had an Uncle survive the attack on the USS Marblehead. He always told exaggerated stories, and none of us believed everything, but it still was a horrible attack and only by great skill, was the Captain able to bring his ship home.

The cannibals were in New Guinea but it was under American control at that period in time. The natives liked the Americans because they were good to them and gave them lots of neat stuff. My father was on New Guinea during that time and had lots of interaction with the natives.
Buck Fiden here with the real story man...no joke...i watched two cannibals sitting on a bench in New Guinea during one of our ritual BBQs...they were both eating poor old uncle Bosie when one cannibal turns to the other cannibal and asks, "does this taste funny to you?"
I knew it then and there for sure man...no joke man and i swam back home! Yeh that's what happened i ain't kiddin man...😮
I hope the cannibals were not looking for a brain.
funny stuff
Thanks for doing your due diligence in digging for the truth, I know of no one so far who has, I admire your work sir.
He even got the type of plane wrong. Twin engine, not single.
Wasn't it already established by the USAAC records the plane went down from electrical failure? My grandfather was an engineer on a Liberator. Most of the aircraft in the Pacific were electrical nightmares. Was the A20 designed by the same company as the B24? That might have been the issue. Design flaw.
This is great research and a story that needs to be told by people who understand how the USAAF operated.
Having myself four relatives serving in WWI and WWII, it's no surprise that what is told as a story inside the family, and what is on military records is different. The story as told to relatives in 1944 was often very limited because of secrecy. One part was Finnegan being a courier who carried top secret documents. Having been in the Air Force myself for decades, I still don't tell many facts I know to nobody.
History should be remembered as it was. It's the best way to honour those who lived it and to learn from them. I appreciate your work for quite some time, and I thank you for it.
This doesn't explain why the favourite meal for New Guinea cannibals is called Finnegan stew.

Their families suffered the same grief as any other Gold Star family.
100% agreed!
And Nephew Joey Boy had to desecrate his uncles service and sacrifice by lieing about the facts of his story to get OOHed and AAHed for his sick political gain. You know like the lies about his BIG kitchen fire that "ALMOST" killed his dog when he told that lie to the victems of the Maul Wildfire that really did kill many of their family members? Or about the lie he old the families that lost family members to a suicide bomber in Afghanistan that Biden was responsible for that he knows how they feel that his son was killed in Iraq when the fact is, he died of cancer in Walter Reed Military Medical Center with the Biden's being able to be by his side when he died. Biden is the biggest liar in American Presidential History. No one believes a word he says unless they are bleeding Heart liberals that have been brainwashed by the left.
Their families didn't spread lies about them, for political gain.
I wonder if Corn Pop's uncle Honeycomb was also on board?
Well I better put the barbeque sauce back in the fridge
'Dirty old Man' and 'Barry's baby?' Is this a prank? 😅

God Bless these American heros...
Both ironic names, considering the circumstances........
No, just an extremely ironic and serendipitous humorous coincidence.
