President Biden is coming under fire for hosting a barbecue at the White House Sunday afternoon while war rages in Israel and terrorists allegedly hold Americans hostage.

“While Hamas holds Americans hostage, Joe Biden is enjoying a picnic with a live band,” Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted, accompanied by a screen shoot of a White House Pool report.

The pool report, emailed just after 6 p.m. Sunday evening, notes that a reporter could hear a “live band” in the White House.

“In the late afternoon and early evening, a live band could be heard coming from the area near the Rose Garden. Your pooler asked why a band was playing. From the White House: The President and First Lady are hosting a BBQ for White House Executive Residence Staff and their families,” the pool reporter wrote.

Maybe they were serving ice cream and Joe just couldn’t resist.

I'll bet Hunter passed out before the ice cream was served.

You are correct; Trump would be declared Hitler and indicted for this. OTOH, ankle-biting Biden for what must be the 5,783th worst thing he’s done lately trivializes his real crimes and horrible policies.

Letting Hamas dictate the White House schedule would be unwise.

Had any allied nation’s leader had a ‘party’ the evening of 9-11 would it have bothered you? After all, planes weren’t crashed into buildings in London or Paris. Proportionally, this attack on Israel is much bigger and more devastating than 9-11 was for us.

The White House is in the US, my country.
If some country had a scheduled party on 9/11, I wouldn’t know.
I was busy in the USAF.
Israel isn’t my country.
Neither is Ukraine, Niger, Kosovo or any other country.

No one cared about useless crap like this before social media.
It’s time wasting, irrelevant, teenage girl whining.

A country in our sphere of influence and a rogue semi-state bound and determined to destroy them should force cancellation of planned social activities? I’ll have to think that one over.

I think it’s odd that no one has identified the band.


It was a chorus of fiddles with a large bonfire.

I’m waiting for someone to post “the media is taking out Biden!” again.

Respect for your service. But the fact is, that no allied country’s leaders (which do not include Ukraine, Niger, Kosovo) did hold parties or light-hearted entertainments immediately after the 9-11 attacks. And we did take note of those who did at the time, including the ‘Palestinians’.

To me it merely shows either how tone-deaf or indifferent Biden’s ‘handlers’ are to what happened to one of our nation’s allies. After all, the same ‘handlers’ thought it not important enough to interrupt FJB’s sleep.
