The Incredible Missing President continues his seemingly never-ending vacation since the Democratic National Convention. After saying in July that he would be “going to be working like hell” for the remainder of his term, he went straight from the DNC stage to Santa Ynez, California, where he spent a leisurely week on a donor’s $50 million, 8,000-acre ranch. Now he’s back at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware retreat where he’s “working like hell”:
16 days. On vacation. In a row.

Who is running the country? Because it’s not Biden.
No, seriously. This is not normal.pic.twitter.com/rkMxhfpiJX
The White House defended his vacations and insisted he was still doing the job:
However, the White House has defended Biden's two-week break, saying he is in charge and running the country from his vacation locations.
'The president is on vacation, but you can never unplug and from a job like that. Nor does he try to,' National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Monday in a zoom briefing with reporters.
'He's very much in command,' he noted of Biden.
Remember, however, that these are the very same people who told us that the president was still sharp as a tack.
Biden did take time away from the beach to attend Mass, and afterward, he answered a few questions from reporters, proving once again that he is lacking in energy and vigor and still acts heartless to the Gold Star families.
Asked what he thought of the “controversy” that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are trying to create over Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery to honor Gold Star families and their fallen loved ones, Biden only could say, "I don't want to answer because I might tell you what I think."
Biden responds to President Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery with many of the Gold Star families: "I don't want to answer because I might tell you what I think."

Now that’s some leader. How about you just say “I’m sorry” to the families who lost their sons and daughters due to your terrible policies?
Biden answered some other questions about the Israel-Hamas conflict—“It’s time this war ended” and “I think we’re on the verge of having an agreement”—as well as the unidentified bodies found Saturday by the IDF, but he once again showed why he is not up the job with his listless responses. What is clear, and what is very dangerous, is that we don’t seem to have a commander in chief right now, and it’s safe to bet that our enemies are paying full attention.
