It immediately set off alarms in my head, especially when Biden makes false claims about saving people's lives as a lifeguard.
Having had several friends in the past who were , in fact, real life guards who saved REAL LIVES, including along often-crazy Lake Michigan when I lived in Evanston and Wilmette, Illinois, in the latter case, but two blocks away from Lake Michigan...
It also made me recall what I'd seen in a great episode of the one series on PBS American Experience, that tends to be both the most honest factually and the one most down-the-middle politically, without the usual liberal cant and chic propaganda embedded into it that gets into almsot every other PBS program of the past 20 years. Unfortunately!
By the way, in case you want to read in its entirety the AP's 2005 article about then-New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and his willful deception about his amateur baseball career, it's here

He was someone I spoke to quite a few times in Washington DC when I lived and worked there from 1988-2003, when Richardson was first a New mexico congressman and later the U.N. Ambassador, before becoming governor.
I greatly admired him and his background, epsecially his serious foreign policy whehn he was just out of college and worked at the State Dept, then parlayed that into a very impressive career.
Then came news of his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal, which seemed to paint a worse picture of him at first. Every subsequent bit of news was EVEN WORSE, which is where things stoodf when he died last September. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Richardson
