While Sleepy Joe was out on vacation, prodded by staff to get back to work, Afghanistan was falling to the Taliban, and Biden had to have known the extent of the crisis. But it wasn’t enough to gain the President’s full attention. He didn’t care enough about Americans in Afghanistan or the plight of the victims of the Taliban. He didn’t even give a hoot about the message he was sending globally. He just wanted his vacation. So he had his Marine One private helicopter extravagantly shuttle him back and forth from Camp David to Washington DC, 9 times in 18 days! –amid all his talk about the environment and the danger of carbon emissions.
Biden remained at Camp David over the weekend as the Taliban swept into Afghanistan’s capital and seized power. Biden — the Commander-in-Chief of the American Armed Forces — subsequently resorted to begging and bribing the Taliban to ease up on Americans.
With the Taliban in control of Afghanistan’s airfield in Kandahar, its fighters now have control over “military helicopters such as U.S.-made Black Hawks and Soviet-made Mi-17s,” and now have access to America’s inventory of planes, helicopters and weaponry.

President Joe Biden struggled to maintain his vacation schedule in August, taking nine Marine One flights back and forth from vacation spots as his staff worked to get him back at the White House to lead the country.
The cost of Biden’s coming and going adds up as he continues splitting time between his home in Delaware, Washington, DC, and the presidential retreat at Camp David.
The president has taken nine trips aboard Marine One in the last 18 days.
Biden left the White House on Friday, July 30, for a weekend in Delaware and returned to Washington, DC, on August 2.
The following Friday, August 6th, he returned to Delaware before traveling back to Washington, DC, on August 10 to celebrate the successful effort by the Senate to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
On August 12, Biden returned to Delaware to resume his vacation before leaving for Camp David on August 13 as the crisis in Afghanistan escalated.
Biden remained at Camp David over the weekend as the Taliban swept into Afghanistan’s capital and seized power.
He returned to the White House from Camp David on August 16 for a few hours to deliver a speech before returning to the presidential retreat on Marine One that same night, landing at 9:05 p.m.
On Tuesday afternoon, the White House announced Biden would return to the White House but left open the possibility that he could go back on vacation in the coming days….
