After Joe Biden received two negative COVID tests, and was then isolated for several days, Biden went on vacation to Delaware. After a brief stop in Kentucky regarding flooding, Biden was on his way to Kiawah in South Carolina for another vacation.
Along on the trip was his wife Jill, his son Hunter, Hunter’s wife, and Hunter’s son, baby Beau, along with some of Joe’s other grandchildren.
They were encountered by protesters upon their arrival on the island.

Bidenflation has been wreaking havoc on Americans, while Joe Biden and his families are staying in the $20 million Oceanfront Home of Maria Allwin (political donor). According to the New York Post, Joe isn’t paying a dime and he’s done this in the past.

“They stayed here before and they’re not paying,” a source close to the family told the New York Post. “They’ve never paid. They’re just friends.”
The source said that Biden had asked Allwin to let him stay with her at home.[….]
The White House frustrated reporters by offering little transparency about Biden’s South Carolina trip, which is expected to last through early next week.
The Associated Press emphasized Wednesday that the White House “did not respond to requests to provide details on Biden’s vacation schedule, activities or when he planned to return to Washington, nor did it provide information on the residence where he was staying.”
Walter Shaub was the Obama ethics chief. This issue has been raised in the past by Biden when he stayed in Nantucket at the home David Rubenstein, a wealthy donor, over Thanksgiving.
“Just a friendly reminder, [Biden]He will either have to disclose that he received free lodging or pay Nantucket fair market price for his stay. I’m not suggesting he wouldn’t, just reminding not to let it slip through the cracks,” Walter Shaub, director of the US Office of Government Ethics under former President Barack Obama, tweeted at the time.
Shaub added regarding that stay, “There’s a disclosure exception for personal hospitality, but that only applies if the head of the Carlyle Group is staying there with the Bidens. I suspect the WH is all over compliance with the rule — and oblivious to the ethical optics.”
Rubenstein reportedly wasn’t staying with Biden at the time, and it’s unclear if Allwin is since neither the White House nor Allwin are talking. But hey, they don’t need the disclosure exception, they already have the magical “D” exception of being Democrats which means they will never be nailed for any impropriety.

I normally don’t comment on clothes but just have to say this is pretty hideous and so age-inappropriate. If she thinks that makes her look younger, it’s just the opposite effect.
Reporters spotted Biden riding on the beach. Fortunately, Biden was still on his bike and didn’t fall over. When reporters asked Biden if he’d answer their questions, he replied that he was planning to purchase bathing suits.

But it sounds like he’ll be back early in the week — when he’ll go back to a three-day work week, calling early lids, then head off back to Delaware and the beach again.
