Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency illustrates that these operatives favor corrupt leaders who will follow their directives. On a positive note, White House officials seem aware of the necessity to mislead the public about this situation. As reported by Fox News, John Kirby, the National Security Communications Adviser at the White House, provided an unconvincing response to a reporter&#8217;s inquiry regarding Biden\u2019s notably sparse schedule and extended vacations, which suggest a president who has relinquished his duties. The question was posed by James Rosen from Newsmax during a teleconference on Monday: \u201cThe president\u2019s public demeanor and limited events on his schedule have led many to perceive that Mr. Biden is becoming increasingly detached from his role,\u201d he stated. \u201cI keep hearing from the public: Who is actually running the country?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Rosen further questioned whether Biden had become merely a ceremonial figure at this point. Notably, Monday marked three years since the Abbey Gate terrorist attack that resulted in 13 U.S. service members&#8217; deaths in Kabul, Afghanistan; instead of honoring them at Arlington National Cemetery like former President Donald Trump did, Biden chose to spend his day vacationing in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware\u2014this followed another week of relaxation in California.<\/p>\n<p>Despite clear signs of Biden&#8217;s disengagement, Kirby feigned surprise at Rosen\u2019s question: \u201cJames, you know better than that! He spoke with Prime Minister Modi today,\u201d he claimed about the president&#8217;s activities over recent days and insisted that even while on vacation, &#8220;you can never unplug&#8221; from such responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby asserted that Biden remains fully engaged and capable of safeguarding national security interests both domestically and internationally\u2014a claim met with skepticism given widespread perceptions following past debates indicating otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>To emphasize this contrast between an inactive 46th president and his dynamic predecessor Trump, images circulated online showing side-by-side comparisons: one depicting Biden relaxing on a beach while another showed Trump laying a wreath at Arlington.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, deep state figures like Kirby acknowledge they must maintain appearances by lying about Biden\u2019s level of engagement\u2014demonstrating both audacity and confidence typical of powerful oligarchies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2331733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-Vacation.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,39417,3882,32127],"class_list":["post-2331732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-tough-questions","tag-vacation","tag-white-house"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-Vacation.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
