As apparent injuries and slurred conversation caused excitement and problem, President Joe Biden’s returning to the White House this year raised eyebrows. After a five-day trip in St. Croix, followed by further time spent in Wilmington, Del., and Camp David, Biden arrived up in Washington on Thursday, accompanied by First Lady Jill Biden, his brother Hunter, Hunter’s spouse, and their younger brother, Beau. Hunter’s another girl, Navy Joan Roberts, was not with them.

Joe Biden is no man to being on vacation. According to a report from the New York Post in September, he had spent as much time on vacation while in office as the typical American had over the course of 48 times. However, two major problems occurred in Las Vegas and New Orleans while the leader was away, which caused some to criticize Biden for his protracted absence and irrational reaction.
On Wednesday, he quickly addressed the problems from Camp David. ” The condition is quite smooth, and the research is at a primary phase”, Biden said in his remarks. ” And the fact is that right now — pardon me — there you go — the law enforcement and intelligence area are continuing to look for any associations, organizations, or coconspirators”.
Biden took no questions, but his appearance raised some new ones. Biden had a cut near his lip, a bruise on his chin, and a disfigured jawline, according to Newssmax reporter James Rosen’s noticeably slurred speech and undisclosed injuries.  ,
The White House offered no justification for their injuries and declined to comment on them. Adding to the mystery, the administration canceled a scheduled press briefing, further limiting the public’s access to information.

Biden claimed he had met with his Homeland Security team and Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the events on Thursday during remarks made at the White House about the attacks. I just left the meeting and haven’t spent more than an hour preparing these remarks from my Homeland Security team. The number of people killed in New Orleans has risen to 15, including the attacker, 35 people were injured today. We have no information that anyone else is involved in the attack, according to the FBI’s briefing that the FBI has at this time.

Biden abruptly switched topics after just a few minutes and even appeared rather insensitive and disconnected from the situation during his brief address. He made a shockingly tone-deaf claim about the Sugar Bowl, saying he needed to “get this damn thing done” to watch the game.  ,
” Like I said last night, New Orleans is a city of tremendous spirit. You can’t keep it down. You really can’t. And we’re seeing that today. The Sugar Bowl has returned. Kickoff will begin operations very soon. If I don’t get this damn thing done, we’re going to be in real trouble”, he said.

Given the serious nature of the attacks and the need for decisive leadership, it was a truly bizarre moment.
Although we’ve heard Biden slurring his speech, the lack of transparency regarding his recent injuries and apparent detachment during a time of national crisis is truly concerning.
