It was not so long ago that I can remember the manic reaction about mandates from Democrats regarding COVID, with people getting arrested for violating rules about going to the beach.
The Biden team was particularly ridiculous and offensive when it came to mandates, even booting members of the military if they didn't get the vaccine.
I was thinking of that when I saw the following story about Joe Biden's former Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
On Friday, Blinken was at the ritzy Georgica Beach in East Hampton, Long Island, spending time on the sand, sitting in beach chairs with a friend. However, there was a problem - because of Hurricane Erin, the beach was closed for safety reasons.
“Even though Hurricane Erin has left our region, because it was such an extremely large storm, it has left a lot of the Atlantic still stirred up,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post Saturday.
“Even though it’s left the premises, it’s going to take a little while for all the water to come back to a calmer level. There are still a lot of hidden effects and the biggest thing is the high rip current risk that is still present up and down the East Coast.”

The lifeguard patrol reportedly had to tell Blinken and the friend he was with that they were breaking the rules and had to leave the beach. After a "brief discussion" and picking up their stuff, they then left. So much for following rules, but at least Blinken appeared to comply.
Blinken had also been in East Hampton in August 2021, when Afghanistan collapsed and the Taliban took over.
I'd like to know when House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) will call Blinken in to be questioned about Biden's cognitive decline and the autopen scandal. If you're going to pull in anyone, it should be the long-time connected people like Blinken, who, as Secretary of State and a longtime Biden official, should have had plenty of contact with Biden.

Then, speaking of that, if Democrats had stayed with Biden as their candidate, take a look at him now as he held his sister Valerie's hand while going to a funeral in Delaware, and stutter-stepped to the door.
Joe Biden looks energetic and vivacious as usual. He could have been president for another eight years, at least.

President Donald Trump is a continuous ball of energy. Biden? He appears to have deteriorated even more. Why is he holding his sister's hand? And where is Jill Biden on such a serious occasion?
Any of the Democrats who covered his condition while in the White House need to be held to account, and they need to review the pardons. But thank God, we got President Donald Trump rather than Biden or we would have been in so much trouble.
