President Biden scrapped plans to travel to his home in Wilmington, Del., on Friday as the White House grapples with the chaotic situation in Afghanistan.
Biden had been scheduled to depart the White House for Wilmington Friday afternoon, but a White House official said that he will no longer be traveling and will instead remain in Washington on Friday night. It’s unclear if he could travel to Wilmington later on in the weekend.
Biden is delivering remarks Friday afternoon on the ongoing effort to evacuate American citizens and Afghans who assisted U.S. forces in the 20-year war.
The Biden administration is under pressure to quickly evacuate tens of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies who are stranded in the country as the Taliban consolidates control.
On Thursday, the U.S. evacuated roughly 3,000 people from Kabul’s international airport on 16 military flights, including 350 U.S. citizens, a White House official said. The Biden administration says it does not know the precise number of Americans who remain in Afghanistan.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Biden is now focusing on evacuations as he has now realized that Americans and US supporters need to get out as quickly as possible to bring an end to the news from Kabul. The video and reports will immediately cease and then pure propaganda will take its place. Just like in North Korea.
Then Joe can head back home to sleep in peace as no more atrocities will be reported outside the country, even though they will be taking place.

How noble of him. To sacrifice his vacation time to spend time for the country instead
