Joe Biden is at his Delaware beach house this weekend on yet another one of his vacations, as everything is imploding in the Middle East.
You would think he didn't have a care in the world as he shuffled along the beach with his wife.
Not only do you have the Israeli-Hamas war. You have Americans being held hostage in Gaza, along with Israelis. You also have multiple U.S. bases/positions under attack over the past several days. The U.S. disclosed some of that on Thursday regarding an attack in Iraq. But Biden didn't even mention it in his big speech on Thursday, where he was trying to sell the American people on more aid for Ukraine by comparing it to Israel. Biden's priority seemed to be on funneling aid to Gaza and Ukraine, as well as trying to promote himself.
As Newsmax notes, Biden doesn't want to acknowledge this because it would highlight yet more Iran-backed people attacking U.S. forces, and that would focus more attention on his deals with Iran.
Not only did he not even publicly acknowledge it, but where is the U.S. response? We've had people wounded in the attacks. Yet there has been no response. He's talking more about Gaza aid than this.
Is it any wonder that bad actors think they can roll right over us?
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad also had to evacuate their non-emergency personnel, one more embassy in deep trouble under Biden.
So it sounds like things are about to go south there as well.
Outside of church, Biden was asked by reporters if he was encouraging Israel to delay the invasion into Gaza to take out Hamas.
Biden responded, "I'm talking to the Israelis."
Is that a yes or a no? Biden already got in trouble saying "yes" in response to whether he had asked Israel to delay the invasion because of the hostages. And the White House had to walk back what he said. He didn't seem to care that he was undercutting the Israelis. Once again, his staff had to rush in and clean up the mess after him.
Biden was also asked about the hostages, but he refused to respond. Again, it's disgusting that he doesn't think he has any obligation to respond to the American people on that question. Even if he said there are things I can't talk about, he should still be saying at every point he can that he's working on it. But he's not, and he's not talking about the U.S. forces. And that says a lot.
