Ah, Joe Biden’s St. Croix getaway—a perfect way to close out the year, assuming you don’t mind your tax dollars funding yet another Biden vacation. While the rest of the country deals with winter storms, inflation, and an increasingly chaotic global stage, Joe is soaking up the sun at a beachfront mansion rented for $900 a night.
Of course, he’s staying there courtesy of a donor, raising more than a few ethical eyebrows. But let’s be honest: the media outrage meter is firmly stuck at zero because he’s got that magical “D” next to his name. Can you imagine if Justice Clarence Thomas had done this? MSNBC would already have the pitchforks out.
Naturally, Biden brought the family along. Dr. Jill? Check. Daughter Ashley? Check. But surprise, surprise—there’s Hunter Biden, making yet another cameo. You remember Hunter, right? The guy his dad just conveniently pardoned for anything criminal he might’ve done over an 11-year span. That sweeping pardon didn’t just clean up Hunter’s messes; it conveniently insulated dear old Dad from anything that might surface about alleged foreign influence peddling. Funny how that works.
Here’s the thing: Hunter’s presence on the trip wasn’t disclosed until reporters spotted him leaving church with Joe. Why the secrecy? Did he hitch a free ride on Air Force One? How many other Bidens—or Biden-adjacent friends—are living it up in St. Croix on our dime? It’s starting to feel less like a presidential vacation and more like a taxpayer-funded family reunion.

Then came Biden’s latest episode of Presidential Q&A: Bumper Car Edition. When a reporter asked about Vladimir Putin apologizing (but not taking responsibility) for a plane crash, Biden looked like he’d just been asked to solve a calculus problem. After what appeared to be a Secret Service agent whispering in his ear, Joe finally managed, “Apparently, he did, but I haven’t spoken yet with my team.”
Let’s unpack that. First, Putin didn’t take responsibility, so Biden is already off-base. Second, shouldn’t this be top-of-mind for the leader of the free world? Or does Biden really need his “team” to explain every geopolitical event to him before he knows what to say? It’s not exactly inspiring confidence when the President of the United States can’t offer a coherent response without staff notes.
And then there’s the “hostage update.” When asked about American hostages held for over a year, Biden did what he does best: he ignored the question and shuffled off. Even Hunter seemed to recognize the optics, tugging at his dad and calling, “Dad!” to get him back to the car. Who’s running this operation, anyway? At this rate, it’s starting to feel like Hunter’s the one herding the sheep.
“Mr. President, should Putin take responsibility for the plane crash?”
BIDEN: “Apparently he did, but I haven’t spoken to my team.”

Speaking of odd optics, social media was buzzing about the pinky ring Biden sported during his church visit. It’s apparently a rosary ring, which seems ironic given his consistent support for policies—like unrestricted abortion—that directly contradict Catholic teachings. It’s one thing to wear the symbols; it’s another to live by them.
And then, just when you thought it couldn’t get more curious, there was the mystery woman. Cameras caught her ducking behind an SUV like she was avoiding the paparazzi. Not an agent, not a staffer—just someone who clearly didn’t want to be seen. Who was she, and why the cloak-and-dagger act? Your guess is as good as mine.
Ultimately, Biden’s St. Croix escapade is just another chapter in the ongoing saga of a president who seems perpetually out of touch—literally and figuratively. While Americans face real challenges, Biden is off in paradise, dodging questions and raising more than a few eyebrows along the way.
