As you’ve probably heard by now, “President” Joe Biden is taking a lavish vacation to the Virgin Islands as Americans suffer a cold front the likes we’ve never seen in history. Oh, and he’s using your tax dollars to do it.
While hundreds of people have died in the northeast by being trapped in their cars by a historic snowstorm, Biden is enjoying the nice 82 degree weather in a beautiful St. Croix villa. Pretty great guy, huh?
The NY Post describes the lavish estate that Biden is enjoying while snowstorms in the northeast kills hundreds:
President Biden will ring in 2023 at the tropical island home of wealthy business owners Bill and Connie Neville — who earlier this month were among the select group admitted to the president’s first White House state dinner.
The Nevilles made the 338-person guest list for the Dec. 1 gathering of billionaires, celebrities and politicians in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron after previously lending their three-bedroom beachfront villa to Biden.
Biden traveled to St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands late Tuesday with first lady Jill Biden and other members of his family to celebrate the New Year — and potentially to decide whether to launch a 2024 re-election bid. He left the frigid continental US after a Christmas weekend winter blast killed at least 65 people and canceled more than 10,000 flights.
The media, of course, loves this move for Biden. Since they fully and unabashedly support his presidency, they will not criticize him in the slightest for taking a break while Americans suffer.
Look at CNN’s gushing headline:
President Joe Biden this week returns to St. Croix, one of his and first lady Jill Biden’s beloved vacation spots, seeking a final opportunity for rest before what is expected to be a contentious 2023 and reelection run https://t.co/uigo4cg97d

“President Joe Biden this week returns to St. Croix, one of his and first lady Jill Biden’s beloved vacation spots, seeking a final opportunity for rest before what is expected to be a contentious 2023 and reelection run,” they said in admiration.
However, when Ted Cruz took a vacation in the middle of winter in February of 2021, the media absolutely raked him over the coals for it:
Sen. Ted Cruz and his family flew to Cancun, Mexico, as a winter disaster in his home state of Texas left millions without power or water, according to photos posted on social media and confirmed to CNN by a person familiar with the travel itinerary. https://t.co/KJ9W9bcwKW

The double standard is incredible because Cruz was forced to APOLOGIZE for taking a trip with his family.
Yet Biden, good ole’ Joe From Scranton, is celebrated for “taking time to rest before the new year”.
However, should we even be surprised anymore?
