Biden says US is at 'war' with virus, but his weekends lack a battle posture
Washington Examiner, Feb 6, 2021

During President Biden's campaign, "lid" announcements, meaning he would not be seen the rest of those days, were the source of mirth.

And for a commander in chief who has declared war on the coronavirus pandemic, the president's weekend schedules so far have failed to adopt that war-like footing.

Biden took his first Air Force One flight as president on Friday, jetting home to Wilmington, Delaware, where he and first lady Jill Biden are expected to stay through Sunday. The trip comes after the White House had a quiet two days last weekend, at least in the public eye.

Biden may have won, but his weekends out of public view could leave the door open to the same kinds of attacks, especially by traveling back to Delaware only two weeks after moving to Washington, D.C. The trip also conflicts with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance against unnecessary movement following reports that more contagious COVID-19 variants from Brazil, South Africa, and the United Kingdom are spreading stateside.

His top spokeswoman on Friday had a sharp response when pressed about the weekend jaunt on the executive jet.

"He is from Delaware and has a home there and is going to spend the weekend with his wife and family there," Psaki told reporters. When grilled on the CDC guidelines, Psaki downplayed any threat because Air Force One, in her words, is a private aircraft.

Note:  There was no speculation why Jill Biden wasn't with Joe on Friday when he travelled back to Delaware.  So, I thought I'd take a crack at what's missing based on the last four years:  . 

Is the First Lady not living at the White House?  Is the first couple sleeping in separate bedrooms?  Is Jill talking with divorce lawyers?  Will Jill get a new prenup before serving as First Lady?

In all seriousness, why is Biden returning to the basement in Delaware?  It's not like he'll play golf or something.

It's really very simple, the silent alarm on his pudding vault was triggered and Captain Dementia doesn't trust anyone else to check his private stock.

Biden is all blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah because he and his "Covid Team" are ignorant of what Trump has been doing. Had Trump been reelected, by now he would have started applying PR pressure on states to get their distribution act together and taken action, as allowed, to assist. Biden, well, last week's 20M gap between received by states and shots-in-arms grew to 22M. 3 weeks from now J & J will start delivering on their 100M dose contract, which will just make the states' performance gap all the more blatantly obvious.
