Biden To Take A Break From Doing Nothing, Hits The Beach For 10 Days

President Joe Biden has decided to take a break from doing nothing and will be hitting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for the next 10 days.

At this point — to steal a line from Hillary Clinton — what difference does it make whether he’s in D.C. or catching some rays in the sun? Having Biden in office or at the beach does not really change the direction of the country or impact executive decision-making.

It is abundantly clear that he isn’t really running the country — and somebody else is calling the shots. His comments are walked back, he gets bullied into sending more aid to Ukraine, and some days it seems like he rolls out of bed and is told to simply read whatever’s on the teleprompter screen (repeat the line).

But when you’re 80 years old, that’s all a bit exhausting.

So it would appear that he and first lady Jill Biden are heading out to their multi-million dollar beach house that sits in the safety of a taxpayer-funded wall and armed security. Meanwhile, the average American suffers under the high cost of living as millions of illegal aliens flood through the porous border and Democrats work to strip gun rights.

Speaking of “The Big Guy,” how exactly did Biden afford his vacation spot and other assets? That’s a question Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently asked on his podcast, “The Verdict.”

If “you look at the assets he’s accumulated on a Senate salary, it’s pretty impressive,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said on Cruz’s podcast last Friday.

“So you’re saying a classic Corvette doesn’t buy itself?” Cruz joked back. “A Delaware beach house doesn’t buy itself?”

As Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro pointed out, “Hunter Biden texted his daughter in 2019, ‘I hope you can all do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry. Unlike Pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.'”

“That’s the ball game,” Shapiro said. “Does that sound like the kind of thing you would text to a family member that was actually entirely false and in reality, no money had ever changed hands?”

No, it doesn’t. And messages like that could help explain why Biden’s Department of Justice and Hunter’s attorneys apparently attempted to hide from a federal judge that a plea deal worked out between the two parties could grant  Hunter immunity from Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) violations in the future.

Perhaps in light of the plea deal imploding, the president decided he wanted to do what any man of his age and stature wants to do: Enjoy the lazy dog days of summer by the coast. He was there a few weeks ago and was able to enjoy some peace and quiet. It looked like nobody wanted to talk to him. That makes sense. Would you know Biden from any other elderly retiree on the beach?

Biden knows he doesn’t have to do any real business to tend to. The Deep State and Obama lackeys are running the show. He just needs a break from the headaches caused by Hunter, apparently.
