| Biden departs for vacation as multiple crises escalate |
| 2021-08-13 |
| [FoxNews] President Joe Biden departed the White House for a vacation in Wilmington, Delaware as multiple crises escalated Thursday, most notably the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan that has forced the Pentagon to send troops to the country in a desperate attempt to help Americans there escape. If only President Klain knew But the security situation isn't the only crisis the U.S. faces as Biden heads to Delaware for his summer break, as it was also revealed Thursday that more than 212,000 people were encountered crossing the border in July. That number was a 13% increase over June and represented a two-decade high, dampening White House hopes that the summer heat would cause migrants to rethink the dangerous trek. The situation at the border has only been worsened by the highly contagious delta variant, with reports of thousands of COVID-19 positive migrants packing detention facilities before they are released to their destinations throughout the country. The delta variant has resulted in a renewed surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, particularly in southern states such Arkansas and Mississippi that have recorded new highs in hospitalizations. Meanwhile, a key inflation measure surprised economists by hitting yet another record high, with producer price inflation rising 7.8% over the 12 month period ending in July. That number was the highest recorded in the over ten-year history of the metric, raising fears inflation could stick around longer than some predict. The evolving crises have put pressure on Biden to rethink his vacation plans, delaying his departure and forcing him to spend some time at Camp David. In total, the president plans to spend about two weeks away from Washington. |

| #8 JRB, jr. aka Joe - has had 17 vacations at his home since taking office, about once every 12-14 days on average. No one knows who visits joe at his home, even though a log is kept. Joe became known as the guy who campaigned from his basement. A large number of Americans were stunned that he won the election. Well, wild thought, what if Joe has something in his basement that he really needs to keep going ? Like this Just a wild thought. No ? |

| #7 in 204 days in office he has gone back to Delaware for long weekends 17 times, and now is taking a vacation in Delaware? Sun-downing is increasing and the cumulative effects of juicing and stress are showing? This guy won't make it another 6 months...and they get The Jackal for a year then a massive sweep of the House and Senate by the right, followed by impeachment? |

| #6 ^ I doubt if the ambassador is offended. Surely he was briefed before he left Beijing about the president's condition. |
