Yesterday White House press secretary, at her daily Gaslight-a-Palooza briefing, said President Biden's "working around the clock" on behalf of all Americans (except maybe those deplorable "MAGA extremists").
Karine Jean-Pierre says that Joe Biden "is working around the clock."

The first picture that pops into my head whenever somebody in this White House makes that claim is the one of Joe sleeping on a beach, which is not an uncommon sight.
The "Joe works super hard" approach must be something the White House decided needed to be repeated every day (not unlike their attempts to convince everybody the economy is great). They know we can see him for ourselves, right?
Today Jill Biden was out there as part of the White House's emergency effort to address this president's dismal approval rating:
JILL BIDEN:

In a way, she's right -- we don't see it. But it's almost worse if Biden actually does work hard considering the resulting train wreck we're all witnessing.

Interesting that Mrs. Biden has to deliver this message on a day the president doesn't have one thing on his public schedule. https://t.co/NVdJ7RmBvS

FLOTUS has impeccable timing:
This marks the third straight day where the president's schedule resembles that of the grandparents in Willy Wonka. And why again is he receiving the daily intelligence briefing so late? pic.twitter.com/8pRAerHXTr

So it depends on what your definition of "working around the clock" is:
As of last Sunday, Biden has spent all or part of 382 of his presidency’s 957 days – or 40% — on personal overnight trips away from the White House, putting him on pace to become America’s most idle commander-in-chief, according to data calculated by the Republican National Committee and confirmed by The Post using White House reports of Biden’s movements.
“We have millions of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders. Violent crime is surging. Inflation is crushing hard-working Americans. Our enemies around the world are emboldened,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told The Post. “Meanwhile, Joe Biden is filmed on the beach with his handlers preventing him from speaking to the media to answer basic questions Americans deserve answers to.
Maybe we should be grateful. Imagine how bad things might be if Biden put all his energy into dragging down the country. Yikes!
