Joe Biden has left the White House to begin a two-week summer vacation in Delaware as multiple crises escalate in the U.S. and across the world.
For starters, this is hardly the first time Biden has taken a vacation despite only being in office for eight months.
By my count, this is Biden’s 18th trip home to Delaware, all of part of 48 days.
Compares at same point in presidency to:
Trump – 7 trips to Mar-a-Lago, 5 to Bedminster (50 days)
Obama – 1 trip home to Chicago (4 days);
GWBush – 7 trips to Texas ranch (36 days)— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) August 12, 2021
Most notably, there’s a terrifying security situation in Afghanistan that has forced the Pentagon to send a reported 3,000 troops to the country in a desperate attempt to help Americans there escape.
The Pentagon is sending the troops to provide security for embassy personnel and other Americans trying to evacuate the country as the Taliban terrorist group could take control of the capital in the near future.
The catastrophic security failure in Afghanistan isn’t the only crisis facing the U.S.
The U.S. border crisis is getting worse by the day.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported apprehending 188,829 illegal migrants in June. In July, Border Patrol revealed they apprehended 210,000, which broke the previous record the month before.
The last time border apprehension numbers reached 1 million was in 2006.

213,000 migrants encountered at our southern border in July.
That breaks Biden’s 20 year border crisis record set…. in June.
Every single Biden border month has been worse than the last.
It’s appalling — and it would be unbelievable if it weren’t so predictable.

Inflation is skyrocketing.
Inflation for businesses has reached 7.8%, marking the highest level ever reached, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
It has gotten worse month over month since Biden took office.
“In December, January, February, March, April, May, and June, the Producer Price Index reached annual rates of 0.8%, 1.6%, 3.0%, 4.1%, 6.2%, 6.6%, and 7.3%, respectively,” the Daly Wire reported.

A terrorist group could potentially take over an entire country.
Biden’s disastrous handling of withdrawing from Afghanistan helped the Taliban get closer to taking over the capital city of Kabul.
“The Taliban now controls the majority of the country as it is rapidly seizing capital cities in the nation’s numerous provinces. The administration is now reportedly pleading with the terrorists to spare the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and is having to send troops back into the nation to help evacuate Americans. European nations are already hardening resistance against the notion of having a massive surge of Afghan nationals come to their countries amid a refugee crisis sparked by the rapidly deteriorating situation,” The Daily Wire reported.

As all of this is going on, Biden just left for vacation for roughly two weeks.
