Joe Biden’s latest escapades have left plenty of folks scratching their heads—or rolling their eyes. After spending a relaxing five days in St. Croix, he squeezed in a little more R&R at his Wilmington home before ringing in the New Year at Camp David. And because no Biden vacation is complete without Hunter tagging along, the president’s embattled son joined him, along with Hunter’s wife and son, Beau. Let’s just say the optics were…interesting.
While the rest of America dealt with chaos, including a car explosion in Las Vegas and a shocking attack in New Orleans, Biden opted to remain cozy at Camp David. Sure, he made a few obligatory remarks about these incidents, but only from the comfort of his vacation spot—and without taking any questions. It wasn’t until Thursday that he returned to the White House with his family entourage in tow.
Now, let’s address the elephant—or maybe the stumble—in the room: What’s going on with Biden’s face? Newsmax’s James Rosen raised an eyebrow at what appeared to be injuries on the president’s face—a cut near his lip and a bruise on his chin. Did he trip? Did something else happen? Nobody knows because the White House has clammed up tighter than a drum. Rosen also noted Biden’s pronounced slurring during his Camp David remarks, which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly unheard of but seemed worse than usual.

If that wasn’t enough, the White House canceled a press briefing on Thursday. So, no answers there, either. Transparency, folks—remember when that was a campaign promise?
Biden claimed to have met with his Homeland Security team and Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the attacks. He assured the public that they were working hard to get to the bottom of things. But then came the part that really hit a nerve: Biden’s flippant tone as he wrapped up his remarks. After addressing two terrifying incidents, he joked about needing to wrap it up because the Sugar Bowl was about to start. A wink, a smirk, and just like that, the seriousness of the situation evaporated.

Look, no one’s expecting Biden to be a robot, but maybe—just maybe—a touch more gravitas would be appropriate when addressing national security issues. Americans deserve leadership that prioritizes their safety over a football game.
This latest episode raises a broader question: Where’s the accountability? Whether he dodges questions about his health or brushes off critical issues with a grin, Biden’s approach often feels more like a vacation than a presidency. And while he may think these moments go unnoticed, the American people are paying attention—and they’re not impressed.
