Biden,\u2064 meanwhile, is going on a ritzy \u200bholiday in one \u200bof the most exclusive vacation hotspots in America.<\/p>\n<p>And joining him is none other than Hunter Biden, a man whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-russias-sanctions-biden-family-reminder-hunter-got-3-5-million-moscow-mayors-wife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">millions\u2062 of dollars<\/a> in apparent influence-peddling income are front and center in the news when the tragedy \u200cin Lahaina isn\u2019t.

In December 2021, he traveled to Kentucky after a series of tornadoes (which he originally called a \u201churricane\u201d in a\u200b speech given before he left for the Bluegrass State) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-biden-makes-insulting-tone-deaf-joke-amid-wreckage-storm-ravaged-kentucky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blamed the disaster on\u200c climate change<\/a> despite no evidence it was involved.<\/p>\n<p>That \u200bloss of life pales in comparison to what\u2019s happened in Maui \u2014 but in this\u200d case, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mauis-top-emergency-official-amid-avalanche-criticism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">severe mismanagement<\/a> on the part of officials in\u200c one of the nation\u2019s \u2062bluest states \u2063appears to\u200c be \u200done of the reasons the fires got so out\u200b of hand. Thus,\u2064 no comment, business\u200d as usual,\u200d let\u2019s go on a few \u2062vacations, Jill.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not \u2064just natural disasters\u2062 exacerbated by his allies\u2019 incompetence that keep the president locked into vacation mode, either.<\/p>\n<p>Remember \u2063the fall \u2063of Afghanistan and the botched withdrawal that followed? During the weekend in which the country fell into the hands of the Taliban, the president wouldn\u2019t budge from a getaway at the Camp David presidential retreat until he was finally dragged \u2063back \u2063to D.C. \u2063that Monday to give an address to the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Straightaway after that address, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-flees-resume-vacation-immediately-giving-short-afghanistan-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he returned to Camp David<\/a>, because apparently life\u2019s too short to cancel a vacation in the midst\u2062 of a humanitarian disaster.<\/p>\n<p>If this\u2064 is\u200c what leadership looks like to Joe Biden, fine. Stay \u200din Lake Tahoe. Don\u2019t come back. Send for Vice President Kamala \u200cHarris\u200b while \u2063you\u2019re at it, and leave the White House to the third-in-line, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Not only am I guessing at least he \u200dcan remember what Maui is called, I think we can all\u2064 safely say nearly anyone not involved in the Biden White House would realize the foul optics of vacationing at an $18 million lakefront \u2064manse when so many have lost so much.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/details-bidens-second-august-vacation-emerge-not-good-look-joe-jill\/\">Details of Biden's Second \u2063August Vacation Emerge, And It's Not a Good\u2062 Look \u2062for Joe and Jill<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden is on the move once more, but this time it&#8217;s not to the familiar island he often mentions.
