Joe Biden was last seen publicly last Monday when he gave a midnight speech in Chicago at the Democrat National Convention. He left the stage and hopped onto Air Force I for a trip to a donor’s mansion in Hawaii. Joe was doing what he had done best for three-plus years. He was going on vacation. He returned to the mainland today, and you would think he would check his inbox. Not Joe; he went directly to Delaware for a vacation from his vacation, and he is approaching two weeks since he has been in the Oval. We all know that we can work remotely, but with the events during this time away, he should have been with his team. Joe Biden has not held a full cabinet meeting since October of 2023, and let’s not forget that Lloyd Austin went AWOL during that timeframe.

John Kirby loves to make excuses for the President in his absence, but these are just quick one-liners for the media. KJP has not had a press briefing in two weeks. This is an insult to the American people, who these politicians are supposed to serve.

In the relatively short period of vacation, Russia has launched a new assault on Ukraine, the Israeli/Hamas conflict continues to show no signs of peace, and we recognized the third anniversary of the Afghanistan debacle. Maybe Joe Biden does not see these as urgent, but we would like a President who does.

The Harris and Democrat Party coup of the presidential campaign has left America without a President and Vice President. Joe has much to be angry about. The reelection bid was stolen from him, his legacy has been irreparably damaged, and Harris is now blowing up his policies, and their relationship, which was always one of convenience, is now seen as a liability to the Harris/Walz campaign. Even Joe and Barack, who had never been a match made in heaven, are now in the gutter after Barack and Michelle endorsed the New Democrat Diva du Jour.

Kamala is now the lamest of ducks. She is the second in command and now finds herself in the spotlight, but she has no idea why. She has been handed every position on her resume, and this one puts her in the deepest end of the pool without swimmies. She has no policies, few friends, and the lowest approval rating ever for a vice president.

The campaign has only weeks left, but Biden and Harris have over four months left in their term. Both of our leaders have deserted us, and if anyone thinks this has not gotten the attention of our enemies, they are a fool. The Iranians, Chinese, Russians, and North Koreans are pulling for Kamala as she will be a ticket for whatever they wish for four years. Kamala Harris is no match for anyone on the world stage, and our security is not just in jeopardy should Kamala win, but we will be at their mercy.
