Staff Reports
A fresh report has surfaced, shining a spotlight on a rather unsettling aspect of President Joe Biden’s conduct following the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. According to the New York Post, it appears Biden left grieving Gold Star families cooling their heels for a staggering three hours while he indulged in a nap aboard Air Force One. Ironically, this lapse came just prior to the dignified transfer of the remains of the service members killed in the disastrous evacuation process he oversaw.
The backdrop to this debacle includes the tragic events of August 26, when Taliban militants killed 13 American soldiers and over 170 Afghans at the Kabul International Airport. Amidst all this chaos, Biden’s administration managed to leave behind billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment, igniting fierce criticism not only for the operational mishap itself but also for the seemingly casual demeanor exhibited by the president during such a somber occasion. Who could forget the infamous image of him glancing at his watch during the transfer as if he had a hot dinner date waiting?

The Daily Mail’s report has sent shockwaves through the public, revealing that military families were left waiting while their loved ones’ sacrifices were honored. The very people who should have been at the forefront of empathy and respect were instead overshadowed by the president’s apparent need for a nap. One must ponder the competency of a leader who prioritizes a snooze over the solemn duty to honor the fallen.
This incident is effectively just the tip of the iceberg regarding the Biden administration’s ongoing struggles. Consider the details surfacing about efforts to conceal Biden’s mental decline since he took office. The same New York Post has highlighted how White House aides have orchestrated a cover-up of the president’s obvious lapses, concealing anything that might detract from the veneer of competence they’ve tried to maintain. It seems that not only did they keep families waiting, but they also kept the public in the dark regarding their leader’s fitness for duty.
This orchestrated chaos saw staff diligently shielding Biden from the public eye, rearranging his calendar to ensure he had more “good days” than bad. From the start of his term, it was clear there were more issues at play than just poor leadership decisions; there was a consistent theme of mismanagement and obfuscation. The past few years have led to questions about who was truly at the helm during this rough voyage. Don’t be surprised if many are counting the days until a new presidency emerges from the horizon, one that might just prioritize action over naps.
