There is chaos at home and abroad — and Joe Biden is on vacation.
Here’s what’s happening as Biden sleeps on the beach:
- CORRUPTION SCANDAL: Biden’s involvement with his son Hunter’s influence peddling scheme — despite his repeated denials — continues to be laid bare with the release of congressional testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner and best friend.
- GAS PRICES: The nationwide average for a gallon of regular gasoline has ballooned to $3.82/gallon, while diesel prices are up more than 26% since the beginning of the month. Regular gas was $2.39/gallon when Biden took office — and prices have been higher ever since.
- ECONOMIC TURBULENCE: As Americans reject “Bidenomics,” the U.S. was stripped of its top credit rating for just the second time ever as a result of the economic brinksmanship and mounting national debt of Biden and Democrats. Meanwhile, American families are bracing for “a more significant bill” with back-to-school spending due to Biden’s prolonged inflation crisis.
- FOREIGN POLICY: The U.S. embassy in Niger is evacuating amid Biden’s weakness on the world stage — the fifth such embassy evacuation of his presidency — while Biden’s border crisis gets even worse here at home.
Meanwhile, Biden — who has spent nearly 40 percent of his presidency on vacation already — is ducking the press at every turn.
There’s a reason for that.
