President Joe Biden spent more than 1/3 of the year away from the White House — either on vacation, at Camp David, or in Delaware — in 2023.
A <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/31/news/biden-spent-37-of-past-year-in-delaware-at-posh-vacation-sites-or-camp-david/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Sunday by The New York Post stated that the president spent a total of 138 days — which amounts to 37% of the year — in one of those three places. And even as the report was published, Biden was still on vacation with his family in St. Croix, the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Biden&#8217;s proclivity for time away from the White House did not just develop in 2023 — in fact, he has spent some 417 days of his term so far on vacation.
&#8220;Biden has arrived in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he&#8217;ll spend the rest of the year at the beach. Biden has spent 417 days — 39% of his presidency — on vacation,&#8221; @RNCResearch posted via X on Wednesday, as Biden began his most recent trip.

According to a 2o22 report from <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10878885/Biden-pace-vacation-president-prepares-head-Rehoboth.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, Biden&#8217;s pace thus far puts him on track to spend more days vacationing than any president in history. If he continues to spend 39% of his presidency on vacation, the total over two terms will be 1,106 days — just over three full years.
By comparison, former President Donald Trump spent 381 days away from the White House during his term in office — and former President Barack Obama spent a total of <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/nation/2017/08/presidential_vacations_who_too.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">328 days on vacation</a> over the course of two terms.
Former President George W. Bush spent 1,o2o days away from the White House during his two terms in office — nearly half of which he spent clearing brush at his ranch in Texas — but Biden is on pace to outmatch him.
Biden has often been criticized for the timing of his trips as well, leaving Washington when <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-ditched-town-before-signing-1-7-trillion-omnibus-so-now-the-gov-is-flying-the-4000-page-bill-down-to-his-tropical-vacation-for-his-stamp-of-approval" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crises loom</a> — or spending a week in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-joe-blows-off-critics-of-bidens-maui-remarks-shock-opera-nonsense" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lake Tahoe</a> (and just a few hours in Maui) as Hawaii reeled in the aftermath of devastating wildfires.

Vacation

President Joe Biden revealed his New Year&#8217;s resolution to reporters while vacationing with his family in St. Croix, the U.S. Virgin Islands.
&#8220;Mr. President! What&#8217;s your New Year&#8217;s resolution, sir?&#8221; a reporter shouted after Biden as he went to dinner with First Lady Jill Biden and granddaughter Natalie Biden.
&#8220;To come back next year,&#8221; he replied.
&#8220;Anything else?&#8221; the reporter asked.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the biggest one,&#8221; he said.

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/joe-biden-biggest-new-years-resolution-tropical-vacation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Examiner</a>, Biden was referring to the luxe vacation destination when he said he resolved to &#8220;come back&#8221; in 2024.
&#8220;I know you guys hate this assignment down here. I&#8217;m sorry to bring you down here,&#8221; he joked with reporters.
Others — like the hosts of &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; on Sunday morning — interpreted his resolution as a promise to come back from vacation and return to work in the White House.
Pete Hegseth, according to a report from Mediaite, said the he believed Biden was actually resolving to &#8220;stay alive.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s what it feels like, right?&#8221; cohost Johnny Joey Jones replied.
Rachel Campos-Duffy added, &#8220;That’s what Obama told him, to stay alive.&#8221;
&#8220;Joe, just make it, man,&#8221; Jones continued.
&#8220;I’m just coming back next year — which is tomorrow,&#8221; Hegseth joked.
Jones went on to point out some resolutions he thought Biden would be wise to consider as 2024 began: &#8220;Don’t let the dog bite as many people, don’t let the kids get in as much trouble.&#8221;
Fox News was not the only media outlet to address Biden&#8217;s comments, however — former Biden campaign manager <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-reveals-new-years-resolution-come-back-next-year-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Bedingfield</a> discussed the president&#8217;s resolution with CNN anchor Dana Bash as well.
&#8220;We love a New Year’s resolution we can keep, right?&#8221; she laughed. &#8220;The best resolutions are the ones you can keep.&#8221;
&#8220;Look, it is absolutely going to be a rocky and challenging and close campaign. I don&#8217;t think there is any doubt about that, I certainly don&#8217;t think anybody in the Biden operation has any doubt about that. It&#8217;s going to be a challenging campiagn,&#8221; Bedingfield added.

Joe Biden Reveals His New Year’s Resolution: ‘To Come Back Next Year’

Virgin Islands

President Joe Biden on Sunday told reporters that even though he was at his Rehoboth Beach house, he was not actually on “vacation.” 
Biden <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/04/biden-insists-delaware-beach-house-visit-isnt-vacation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the Secret Service is working on his other home in Wilmington, Delaware, to “make it secure.” 
“The reason I’m here today, just for one day — I know people [say] I’m on vacation, I’m not,” Biden said while leaving mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach. “I have no home to go to. Secret Service has torn my house up in a good way to make it secure. So I have no place to go when I come to Delaware except here right now. I&#8217;m only here for one day.”
A reporter then asked Biden whether he was homeless, to which the president replied, “Oh I’m not homeless, I just have one home. I have a beautiful home. I’m down here for the day because I can’t go home.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
According to the New York Post, Biden has said the Secret Service has been doing work – including installing bulletproof windows – at his Wilmington residence since April. 
The president departed Delaware at 7:15 a.m. ET on Monday and arrived in Philadelphia shortly after, according to his <a href="https://factba.se/biden/calendar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">public schedule</a>. The day before, he had no official events scheduled. He is expected to return to Washington on Monday evening.

While in Philadelphia, Biden delivered a Labor Day speech to Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 on the importance of unions. During his address, the president <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/04/politics/joe-biden-labor-day/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">touted</a> “Bidenomics.”  
“[The Biden administration is] replacing trickle-down economics with what everyone on Wall Street is referring to these days as Bidenomics, and guess what? It’s working. It’s about building the economy from the middle out and the bottom up not the top down.”
A recent report from the Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/02/slacker-in-chief-biden-keeps-up-record-40-vacay-pace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred</a> to the president as the “Slacker-in-chief” and found that since taking office, he has spent 40% of his presidency on “personal overnight trips away from the White House.” That adds up to all or part of 382 of the 957 days the president has been in office as of early this month, according to the Post. 
“We have millions of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders. Violent crime is surging. Inflation is crushing hard-working Americans. Our enemies around the world are emboldened,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told the outlet regarding Biden’s vacation time. “Meanwhile, Joe Biden is filmed on the beach with his handlers preventing him from speaking to the media to answer basic questions Americans deserve answers to.”
After Biden’s most recent comments, the House Judiciary GOP <a href="https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1698517335672242561" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to X, “There are approximately 30,000 homeless veterans in the United States. But Joe Biden, who has two homes, plus the White House, says he has no where (sic) to go. Unbelievable.”

A spokesperson for President Joe Biden said that when Biden arrived in Maui — nearly two weeks after wildfires swept through western <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hawaii-governor-josh-green-1000-people-still-unaccounted-for-after-devastating-maui-fire">Maui</a> — one of his priorities would be to make sure residents were aware that he had &#8220;been there since day one.&#8221;
The president and First Lady Jill Biden traveled to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maui-residents-blast-biden-for-absence-following-fires-why-are-we-being-ignored">Maui</a> on Monday — after reporters pressed Biden several times about when he planned to make the trip — to tour the damage to the historic town of Lahaina and the surrounding areas.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

But in response to the claims made by spokesperson Olivia Dalton — namely that Biden had been there &#8220;since day one&#8221; — critics pointed out that on &#8220;day one&#8221; of the deadly fires that have left more than 100 dead and hundreds still missing, the president was actually on vacation.

When members of the press caught up with President Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, they asked him directly about the rising death toll in Maui. His response, when asked whether he had anything to say on the subject, was simple: &#8220;No, no comment.&#8221;
Several days later, when he returned to the White House from his weekend at the beach, staffers kept members of the press corps cordoned off as he walked from Marine One to the West Wing, so far away from them that he couldn&#8217;t hear their shouted questions.
When he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reporters-have-questions-about-maui-wildfires-biden-smiles-waves-and-skips-town" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left Washington again</a>, headed to Wisconsin for a speech touting his economy, he responded to reporters&#8217; shouted questions with nothing more than a smile and a brief wave of his hand.

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out the disparity in the way that corporate media had covered Biden&#8217;s failure to answer questions, noting that previous presidents had been vilified for far less.
&#8220;George Bush was mauled for merely flying over New Orleans as citizens drowned during Katrina. Ted Cruz was mocked in a week-long news cycle for leaving Texas during its electricity crisis. Not only hasn&#8217;t Biden visited Maui, but twice vacationed and has barely spoken on it,&#8221; Greenwald said early Monday, prior to Biden&#8217;s arrival there.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-cuts-funding-for-school-hunting-archery-training-programs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> 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&#8217;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 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-will-be-without-both-shadow-presidents-so-who-is-really-running-the-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">isn&#8217;t really running the country</a> — and somebody else is calling the shots. His comments are walked back, he gets bullied into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-administration-to-send-cluster-bombs-to-ukraine-bypassing-u-s-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sending more aid</a> to Ukraine, and some days it seems like he rolls out of bed and is told to simply read whatever&#8217;s on the teleprompter screen (repeat the line).

But when you&#8217;re 80 years old, that&#8217;s all a bit exhausting.

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 &#8220;The Big Guy,&#8221; how exactly did Biden afford his vacation spot and other assets? That&#8217;s a question Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently asked on his podcast, &#8220;The Verdict.&#8221;
If &#8220;you look at the assets he’s accumulated on a Senate salary, it’s pretty impressive,&#8221; House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/bidens-linked-to-russia-ukraine-via-more-bank-records-comer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Cruz&#8217;s podcast last Friday.

As Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-is-a-liar-he-knew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>, &#8220;Hunter Biden texted his daughter in 2019, &#8216;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.'&#8221;
&#8220;That’s the ball game,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;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?&#8221;
No, it doesn&#8217;t. And messages like that could help explain why Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice and Hunter&#8217;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?

The Bidens have made the Caribbean island a regular vacation destination over the years, and they are residing at a familiar spot this week as the forecast calls for sun and temperatures hovering between the low 70s and 80s Fahrenheit.
&#8220;As they have done previously, the President and the First Lady are staying at the home of their friends Bill and Connie Neville,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/DevonHeinen/status/1608133960902795264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the White House told reporters</a>.

The arrangement for this week&#8217;s stay at the Nevilles&#8217; villa led Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to raise concerns about the potential for corruption. The conservative watchdog alluded to the controversy surrounding the foreign business activities of first son Hunter Biden, dealings from which <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/04/05/joe-biden-claims-he-and-son-hunter-biden-never-talked-foreign-business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the White House</a> has distanced the president.
“Hunter’s laptop and other evidence show Biden’s record of converting his public office into private gain,” Fitton said, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/28/biden-staying-at-st-croix-villa-of-donors-who-got-state-dinner-invite/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the New York Post</a>. “So it is no surprise Biden is getting a free luxury vacation from a wealthy donor who ‘coincidentally’ received primo White House state dinner tickets.”
Anticipations are high among Democrats, as the president is likely going to make a decision about running for reelection in 2024 after the holidays, White House Chief of Staff <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-06/biden-likely-to-announce-re-election-after-holidays-klain-says?leadSource=uverify%20wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron Klain said this month</a>. The Bidens are expected to return to Washington, D.C., on January 2.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-signs-847-billion-defense-bill-scrapping-military-covid-vaccine-mandate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> and his wife Jill are being slammed for heading off on a New Year’s vacation to the Virgin Islands while Americans across the nation suffer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/futuristic-scenes-as-buffalo-freezes-over-at-least-16-people-dead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">freezing temperatures</a> that have reportedly left at least 70 people dead, prompting outrage on social media.
The Bidens’ destination, the Caribbean island of St. Croix, is currently seeing temperatures well above 80 degrees and hosted the couple in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The Bidens have visited the Caribbean every year since 2008, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11574981/Bad-optics-Bidens-head-Virgin-Islands-U-S-snow-Title-42-faces-end.html">noted</a>. The president and first lady will leave on Tuesday before returning to Washington, D.C., on January 2.
“Joe and Jill are headed to sunny warm St. Croix, U.S., Virgin Islands for a little vacation, while people in Buffalo are freezing to death in their cars. He doesn’t give a s***!” one conservative critic fumed.
Other comments included, “Joe is in the warm Virgin Islands getting ready to celebrate New Year’s while Americans at home freeze to death,” “Buffalo citizens are freezing and dying while Joe Biden bikes in the Virgin Islands,” and “I remember a time when Presidents at least made an effort to feign compassion, leadership, sacrifice, etc. A time when optics mattered. Not this President. While half the country freezes, this a**hole runs off to the Virgin Islands.”
Every state in the continental United States saw temperatures drop below freezing over the weekend. In Buffalo, New York, at least 28 people died due to the freezing temperatures and massive snowfall.
Although hundreds of flights have been canceled across the nation because of the severe weather, the Bidens will be flying on Air Force One. Thousands of flights scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday were canceled by Southwest Airlines; by midday EST  Tuesday, over 2,900 U.S. flights were canceled and another 2,400 others delayed, <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://flightaware.com/live/cancelled/">according to FlightAware</a>.
Last Thursday, over 2,600 flights were canceled in the U.S., <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/business/southwest-flights-canceled-travel.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">The New York Times</a> reported.
In the first 589 days Biden served as president, he spent 234 days — roughly 40% — on vacation, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/31/biden-hit-for-spending-40-of-his-time-on-vacation/">noted</a> in August, with 70% of his vacation time spent at his homes in Delaware.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates defended Biden’s vacations, saying, “The presidency is a nonstop job that chief executives can do from anywhere in the world. Regardless of location, he has taken fewer vacation days than the modern norm. Being somewhere other than the White House is not the same thing as being on vacation.”

President Joe Biden&#8217;s Secret Service rental vehicles were part of a large fire just one day after he left from a Nantucket vacation.
The Monday fire at the Nantucket Memorial Airport in Massachusetts included five vehicles rented from Hertz that were used to transport the president and his family.

&#8220;A large car fire involving multiple rental vehicles at Nantucket Memorial Airport is now out. There were no injuries reported but at least four cars sustained significant damage,&#8221; the Nantucket Current tweeted in a series of posts alongside videos and pictures of the damage.
&#8220;The fire was just 40 feet away from the airport’s 25,000-gallon jet fuel tanks,&#8221; the outlet added.
The vehicles involved in the fire included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Gladiator. The Expedition was reportedly under a battery recall, though the source of the fire has not yet been determined.
The airport was briefly closed due to the fire but soon reopened.

&#8220;At approximately 5:22 am Airport shift staff observed an active fire in the rental car overflow area through the Airport&#8217;s Closed Circuit Television System,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Staff activated the Alert system and responded to the fire in Airport-3, where they were met by responding units from Nantucket Fire Department and Nantucket Police Department.&#8221;
&#8220;Combined fire resources responded and contained the fire. Several vehicles were damaged. The Airport is currently coordinating with rental car agencies and agency partners to ensure scene safety, There is no longer an active fire at this time: the Airport is open, and aeronautical operations are not affected,&#8221; the statement continued.
The local Inquirer and Mirror newspaper also posted images of the burned vehicles on Monday, noting that the fire occurred in the overflow parking lot.
The investigation is ongoing, and no results have been made public.

The president and first lady Jill Biden stayed at a location along Nantucket Harbor over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, part of a decades-long family tradition. Nantucket is a small island about 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.
In a strange twist, the Bidens visited the Nantucket Fire Department last week to thank firefighters for their service. The Bidens gave firefighters pumpkin pies from Pie Shop in Washington D.C., <a href="https://www.nantucketcurrent.com/president-biden-visits-nantucket-fire-department-on-thanksgiving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the Nantucket Current.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> capped off his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-will-continue-three-part-vacation-as-he-heads-to-another-beach-on-saturday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lengthy vacation</a> without stepping out of his beach house for three straight days, and the self-proclaimed &#8220;defenders of democracy&#8221; in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/legacy-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legacy media</a> do not seem to care that much as to what exactly he is doing behind <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed doors</a>.
On Tuesday, Politico&#8217;s West Wing Playbook <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2022/08/23/the-anti-biden-authors-paying-for-biden-polls-00053347" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> a cheeky headline: &#8220;TRULY BIDEN HIS TIME (sorry)&#8221;
&#8220;All week/weekend long, the White House reporters camped out in Rehoboth Beach, Del., waited for Biden to leave for a nice bike ride or walk on the beach. And waited. But after decamping from Wilmington for his beach house in Rehoboth on Saturday evening, the president didn’t do much of anything,&#8221; Politico&#8217;s writers observed. &#8220;As of this newsletter’s publication, he hasn’t been out in public for three days.&#8221;
It is a bit weird, is it not? The president can go AWOL for three straight days, and the media does not blink an eye.
A lot can happen in 72 hours. The Taliban, for example, can retake Afghanistan. That calamity <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/al-qaeda-surging-again-nearly-a-year-after-bidens-afghanistan-withdrawal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">happened</a> last year when Biden was on vacation, prompting him to cut his time-off short.
Of course, we know that the media has had a bit of a hands-off approach throughout Biden&#8217;s three-part two-week vacation.
Ten days ago, reporters asked Biden — pedaling by on the beautiful beaches of Kiawah Island, South Carolina — whether or not he would speak to the press.
Biden said, &#8220;No.&#8221;
The response from the press gaggle wasn&#8217;t a condemnation of his administration&#8217;s lack of transparency, rather it was a round of laughs.
See for yourself:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Why would they laugh?
The realist would say it is because the legacy media is an arm of the Democratic Party and the journalists there were simply excited to be at the beach with Uncle Joe.
At best, these journalists are just lazy.
According to former CBS reporter <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/markknoller/status/1559890936578056192">Mark Knoller</a>, Biden is now outpacing former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush for the number of vacation days taken at this point in their presidency. Biden has taken 49 trips and 150 days of vacation. Trump had only taken 132 days at this point.
Yet, CNN appears to think that the big takeaway from Biden&#8217;s time away from the White House is that the president can finally redo the drapes.
In a story <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/23/politics/white-house-renovations-joe-biden/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">titled</a> &#8220;Biden&#8217;s summer vacation allows time for White House renovations,&#8221; CNN&#8217;s Kevin Liptak buried at the bottom of the article the enormous number of vacation days the president has taken.
Liptak ended his article repeating the White House&#8217;s defense of the commander-in-chief&#8217;s time away from the office.
&#8220;White House officials make the point that Delaware is closer to Washington than the destinations of Biden&#8217;s predecessors,&#8221; Liptak said — sans any rebuttal from experts or critics.
Consider that when Trump was in office, he could barely drink a Diet Coke without the entire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-passport-propaganda-and-trump-beware-the-government-media-complex">government-media complex</a> descending upon him and questioning why he chooses to fuel his body with the aspartame-ridden beverage.
Yet Biden doesn&#8217;t step out of the house for three days, and the best our Big J Journalist betters can do is a measly write-up in Politico and a recap of his home decor plans at CNN.
That juxtaposition of the media treatment of the two commanders-in-chief sort of sums it all up.

Media

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> is set to embark on part three of his two-week vacation away from doing God knows what in the White House. With no <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-heading-south-carolina-beach-vacation-2022-08-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traditional press conference lined up</a>, Americans have no way of knowing what the president is really up to in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware">The First State</a> — where he currently is spending his time.
On August 10, Biden declared that the U.S. has &#8220;zero inflation&#8221; before jetting off to a Democratic donor&#8217;s beach house in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The president <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kia-what-kia-where-president-biden-returns-to-kiawah-island-a-favorite-vacation-spot-that-serves-personal-and-political-needs/">reportedly</a> likes Kiawah because he can walk through it without getting mobbed by adoring fans — which would seem odd considering that doesn&#8217;t really happen anywhere he goes.
On August 16, he made a brief visit to the office (White House) to sign the historic Inflation Reduction Act, which won&#8217;t <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/manchin-admits-inflation-reduction-act-wont-immediately-reduce-inflation">reduce inflation anytime soon</a>. Then, he <a href="https://delawarebusinessnow.com/2022/08/biden-slated-to-return-to-delaware-after-signing-inflation-reduction-act/">jaunted</a> up the coast to his Delaware house where he will stay until Saturday. We now know he will be taking an extra long weekend off at his Rehobeth Beach house until next Wednesday.
&#8220;Per the FAA, Biden is expected to remain in Wilmington until Saturday AM before going to his Rehoboth Beach home until Wednesday,&#8221; the Associated Press&#8217;s Zeke Miller tweeted.

According to former CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Biden has now spent more time away from D.C. than any of his three predecessors at this point in their presidencies.
&#8220;By my count, this is Biden’s 49th visit to Delaware as pres. Brings number of days there to 150. Compares to: Trump: 17 visits to Mar-a-Lago; 13 to Bedminster NJ (132 days) Obama: 8 vac trips incl HA &amp; Martha’s Vineyard: (38 days) GWBush: 14 visits to Texas ranch (100 days),&#8221; Knoller tweeted.

In reaction to Biden&#8217;s vacation (at least the second leg of the trip), Republican National Committee spokesperson Emma Vaughn told The Daily Wire in an email, &#8220;What’s the only thing Biden likes more than vacation? Raising taxes.&#8221;
&#8220;As parents struggle to afford the skyrocketing prices for back-to-school necessities and small businesses face historic inflation and a recession, Joe Biden raised taxes and is rewarding himself with yet another vacation,&#8221; she proclaimed. 
The day after that email, Biden tweeted, &#8220;The Inflation Reduction Act is law. I can say with confidence that I have never been more optimistic about America.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That statement means Biden gets his hope about the future of the country not from things like an immigrant becoming a citizen or a father opening up a new business to provide for his family, but from a law that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-inflation-bill-raised-taxes-on-businesses-here-are-the-industries-that-will-suffer-the-most">raises taxes on millions of Americans</a> and expands the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In that case, maybe it&#8217;s best Biden takes an extra-long vacation for the remainder of his term so he can&#8217;t sign any more laws.

An American <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vacation">tourist</a> was discovered dead at the same <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/atlantic-ocean">Bahamas resort</a> where three American travelers died earlier this year, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/16/us-tourist-found-dead-at-same-bahamas-resort-where-3-died-in-may/">The New York Post</a>.
The incidents which happened at the same Sandals Emerald Bay Resort in Great Exuma appear to be an eerie coincidence as the deaths are unrelated, the publication reported.
The most recent death involved a man who appeared to be in his 70s. A spokesperson for the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement that the individual was experiencing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid-19">COVID-like</a> symptoms prior to his death. Though an official cause of death has not been revealed, the police confirmed they do not suspect foul play.
“The body of the deceased is expected to be flown to New Providence where an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death,” the statement explained.
Meanwhile, the trio of resort guests who died in May perished due to carbon monoxide poisoning, a report revealed one month later.
Michael Phillips, 68, and Robbie Phillips, 65, a couple from Tennessee, along with Florida resident Vincent Chiarella, 64, were discovered dead as a “result of asphyxiation due to carbon monoxide poisoning.”
Michael and Robbie were &#8220;happily married for 43 years” and owned a Maryville travel agency together, according to their obituary.
&#8220;They took great care of their clients and enjoyed traveling the world together,&#8221; the obituary said.
The resort has since addressed the situation by re-evaluating their safety standards at the resort.
&#8220;Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our guests and team members is and will always be paramount. It is for this reason that we have taken additional measures such as engaging environmental safety experts for a comprehensive review of all systems across the resort,&#8221; the company wrote in a statement, per <a href="https://people.com/human-interest/sandals-adds-carbon-monoxide-detectors-after-3-americans-die-in-isolated-incident-at-bahamas-resort/">People</a>.
&#8220;In addition, CO detectors have now been placed in all guest rooms at Sandals Emerald Bay and although not mandated in any Caribbean destination where we operate, detectors will be installed in all guest rooms throughout the portfolio,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;Our entire team is keeping the families in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.&#8221;
A fourth victim, Donnis Chiarella, was airlifted to a hospital in Florida after being found unconscious at the resort alongside her husband, who was one of the victims.
&#8220;We remain devastated by the unimaginable event that occurred at Sandals Emerald Bay Resort earlier this month that resulted in the loss of three lives, including two members of our beloved travel advisor community, and the recovery of a fourth guest,&#8221; Sandals Resorts said in May. &#8220;We wish to once again extend our deepest sympathies and our heartfelt condolences to the Phillips and Chiarella families.&#8221;

Death

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-carolina">South Carolina</a> woman succumbed to her injuries after being impaled by a runaway beach umbrella, People <a href="https://people.com/human-interest/south-carolina-woman-63-dies-after-being-impaled-by-beach-umbrella/">reported</a>. 
Tammy Perreault, 63, was sitting at a local beach when the rogue umbrella flew into the air and then punctured her upper torso. Bystanders did their best to administer medical aid, but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and Perreault died soon after at the hospital. 
&#8220;We understand a number of good Samaritans and off-duty medical professionals did provide initial care to the victim on the beach,&#8221; Horry County Public Information Officer Thomas Bell said in a statement. &#8220;Their actions to offer comfort and first aid are honorable and appreciated.&#8221;
Bell credited Murrells Inlet Garden City Fire Rescue, Horry County Police Department Beach Patrol, and Beach Services, Ltd. with their quick response during the emergency. The beachgoer was transferred to Waccamaw ER.
She died at 1:31 p.m., nearly an hour after the accident happened. Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard confirmed that Perreault&#8217;s cause of death was chest trauma.
News13 Chief Meteorologist Frank Johnson said winds were between 10 and 15 mph on Wednesday when it happened.
Scotty&#8217;s Beach Bar shared kind words of tribute to Perreault in a Facebook post after her death.
&#8220;Today with heavy hearts we mourn the loss of a dear friend and kindhearted local, Tammy Perreault. Some things we will never begin to understand but what we do know is no one has a bad thing to say about this woman. To be as sweet as her day in and day out should be a goal for all,&#8221; the bar shared. The post urged followers to pray for Perrault&#8217;s family, &#8220;especially her husband Mike.&#8221;
&#8220;Mike we love you and are immensely sorry for your loss.. everyone at Scotty&#8217;s, staff and Scotty&#8217;s family will continue prayers.&#8221;
This isn’t the first incident involving a runaway beach umbrella causing injuries. In 2018, a British tourist suffered from an umbrella going through her ankle during an outing at a New Jersey beach. According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/tourist-impaled-beach-umbrella-caught-force-wind/story?id=56642516">ABC News</a>, a “force of the wind” pushed the stake through Margaret Reynolds’ right ankle.
Witness Ricardo Zedeya explained how a “really strong wind came out of nowhere, a couple of umbrellas were flying by, and one went by really quick. Right after that, I heard a woman screaming, ‘My leg.’”
“It looked like five inches came out the other side of her leg,” he said. Reynolds remained calm as her friends phoned for help and she was transported to the local hospital. Luckily, her injuries were not serious and she was “doing well” shortly after it happened.
