Hey, life’s a beach, man.
President Biden lounged Sunday on Rehoboth Beach while the town of Lahaina on the island of Maui was still smoking, with photos of the once-idyllic paradise showing a charred wasteland.
The grim images, the unfathomable loss of life, the haunting, sickening knowledge that the news will only worsen as the days pass: It would have brought any stoic to tears.
But not beach bum Biden.
Ol’ Joe was busy relaxing in his lounge chair for hours getting some vitamin D and living out one of those cheesy “Beach life” mottos you see painted on driftwood.
When asked about the mounting death toll from the country’s deadliest wildfire in a century, he gave a cold “No comment,” reported Bloomberg White House correspondent Justin Sink, who tweeted a picture of Biden relaxing on the sandy shore, looking like Chris Christie in his infamous 2017 Beachgate scandal.
At that point, a staggering 96 souls had been lost, with many more still unaccounted for.
On Biden’s return to Washington Monday, he avoided reporters altogether.
What kind of human doesn’t have a simple, sympathetic sentiment to share? What kind of leader can’t spare a moment to offer a message of hope, sorrow and support?
Joe Biden, that’s who. The same man often portrayed by our lapdog media as the patron saint of compassion: the Mother Teresa of the Beltway. --->READ MORE HERE

Former President Trump blasted President Biden’s response to the Maui wildfires as “disgraceful” in a video message posted Monday evening.
“When asked about it today, as he was getting into a car, perhaps coming home from the beach, where he has been spending a great deal of time, crooked Joe Biden, the most incompetent president in the history of our country, with a laugh and a smile said he had no comment on the death and the tragedy,” Trump said in a video message.
“To say no comment is oftentimes fine, but to be smiling when you say it, especially again such a tragedy as this, is absolutely horrible and unacceptable,” he continued. “It is a disgraceful thing that Joe Biden refuses to help or comment on the tragedy in Maui, just as he refused to help or comment on the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio for a very, very long time.”
The White House faced criticism Monday over Biden being on vacation and offering a “no comment” this weekend during the devastating fires in Maui — which have caused nearly 100 deaths so far. The White House pushed back on the criticism Monday, with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointing to Biden’s interactions with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as evidence of him responding to the wildfires.
“The [FEMA] administrator has been there for two whole days, two whole days on the ground by the president’s request to make sure that the government has what they have, the local government has what they have, the people of Maui have what they have,” she said. “When you talk about a dozen agencies on the ground, helping and assisting … hundreds of FEMA personnel. That’s what — that’s what matters.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
