Do you remember learning in high school how one of the reasons we rebelled against the English monarchy was because we were freedom-minded and didn’t believe in “kings” and “monarchs” who inherited their power instead of earning it? And how we believed that a leader should be a person of the people and not some distant autocrat who rules on a golden throne from afar?

However, if you’re the Incredibly Shrinking President Joe Biden, who seems to be on permanent vacation at the taxpayer’s expense, these rules do not apply to you. Get out of the way, plebes! Watch as the Secret Service—whose reputation has deservedly taken a nosedive this summer—shoves regular Americans aside so Jill can go purchase another dress that looks like an ugly carpet:

Notice the woman doing the voice over is unphased by secret service yelling at and being aggressive with citizens and reporters.

Out of the roadway! MOVE! NOW!

Ever since Joe Biden quit his presidential reelection campaign and handed the reins over to his unaccomplished vice president, Kamala Harris, he has virtually disappeared from the world stage even as major conflicts continue to rage in the Middle East and Ukraine. One wonders, while Joe languishes at the beach, who exactly is running the country?

Dems Say Goodbye to Biden, but We're Stuck With Him

The president has been real "busy":

President Biden declared ending the war in Gaza to be his top goal to achieve before the end of his term, yet he has gone from one vacation to another as the Middle East becomes increasingly volatile. Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, July 21. Since then, he has gone on two vacations and has spent every weekend either at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, or the presidential retreat at Camp David, according to White House pool reports dating back to July 21.

Now for another NINE-day vacation in Delaware.
Taxpayers are spending millions of dollars on planes and helicopters and motorcades and Secret Service to ferry POTUS Biden and his family all over the country on this endless vacation.
Do none of them have a job? https://t.co/vwJzc6k6f8

We’re in a dangerous time, when we don’t seem to have a functioning commander-in-chief. Our enemies are fully aware that our compromised, permanently off-duty president is not up to the job. Meanwhile, it’s fun to poke fun at Kamala Harris’ endless cackling and laugh-out-loud word salads, but on a more somber note, she has consistently proven that she is not ready for the position. No foreign leader is going to take her seriously; Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping are probably laughing in their boots at the thought of any confrontation with her. As clear-eyed, cold-hearted realists, they are more than aware that simply repeating “joy” and “happiness” does not a foreign policy make.

The Democrats, led by their sniggering standard-bearer Nancy Pelosi, have engineered a coup, ousted a sitting president, and installed their preferred candidate. They may be craven and devious, but they either purposefully or by accident forgot to account for one thing: we need a competent leader in the White House during these dangerous times.

And right now, we don’t have one.
