Joe Biden is laughing at you on Thanksgiving

With the economy deteriorating, your family may have less to give thanks for this year than in years past, but take note: The Biden family is still celebrating in style.

While your family spends more this year on Thanksgiving dinner than virtually any time in U.S. history, President Joe Biden is laughing all the way to the bank. The first family will spend the holiday inside a luxurious mansion provided by one of his billionaire cronies.

The entire Biden clan will join together for days on end in the elite, wealthy enclave of Nantucket to party down.

They’ll be surrounded in regal splendor inside a 13,000-square-foot mansion.

Joe and Jill Biden arrived, surrounded by hundreds of police, Secret Service agents, and other servants and security who will lock down that part of the island — keeping local people from enjoying their Thanksgiving in peace.

The Biden clan threw a late party to celebrate Joe’s 81st birthday on Wednesday; then they’ll have Thanksgiving dinner catered, followed by lighting the tree, shopping, and generally loafing around.

This year, Biden’s being joined by practically his entire family…with the exception of the little girl Hunter Biden fathered with an Arkansas stripper.

They’ll do it all inside a $34 million mansion owned by billionaire David Rubenstein. (What does Rubenstein want in exchange for loaning Biden his digs?)

“This is why Biden still thinks the economy is doing great. Isn’t everybody spending their Thanksgiving like this?” said conservative writer Doug Powers.

But it’s not just this year: The Bidens have vacationed in this spot for the holiday nearly every year since 1975.

“We had some great years in that span, and we had some lousy years, but whatever was happening, whatever bumps and bruises we were suffering, we put it all aside and celebrated Thanksgiving in Nantucket,” Biden wrote in his memoir, Promise Me Dad.

Imagine the resilience it takes to overcome past troubles inside a billionaire’s mansion!

The Biden family’s Thanksgiving probably looks a lot different than yours.

This year, Americans had to work harder than almost any time in U.S. history to put Thanksgiving dinner on the table.

This year, the average Thanksgiving dinner cost $61.17, according to the annual survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau.

That’s a barely noticeable decrease from last year’s all-time high of $64.05—but it’s not much to give thanks for.

Still, White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre tried to put lipstick on an overpriced turkey—lying through her teeth that Americans should be grateful to Biden and Thanksgiving costs are dropping.

The price of turkey is down, but pumpkin pie, dinner rolls, and vegetables all rose during 2023.

“A Thanksgiving meal is still 25% higher than it was in 2019, which highlights the impact high supply costs and inflation have had on food prices since before the pandemic,” the bureau points out.

For every dollar you spent on this year’s Thanksgiving feast, imagine taking every fourth dollar and throwing it out the window. That’s what Bidenflation has done to your budget.

But, it didn’t start with this Biden presidency. Thanksgiving dinner costs took their last sharp increase in 2009—the first year of the Obama-Biden administration, and rose far higher by the time they left office in 2016.

Americans got relief under President Donald Trump, when Thanksgiving costs fell to a new, post-Great Recession low.

Then prices shot straight upward once again the minute Joe Biden became president and have hardly taken a backward look.

“Thanksgiving costs a whole lot more under Joe Biden — and that’s a fact, Jack,” tweeted researchers at the Republican National Committee.

It’s not just Thanksgiving that Bidenomics is ruining: It’s the whole country.

The poorest 20 percent of Americans struggle with dinner every day. They’re now spending 80 percent of their income on the necessities, like groceries and rent.

That’s not surprising: Mortgage costs have more than doubled since Biden took office.

Prices have inflated about 17 percent since January 2021, and real earnings have fallen another four percent.

The bottom 80 percent of Americans have less cash in their pockets now, under Biden, than they did before he took office, according to a story from the Democrat-owned Bloomberg News.

When you put those statistics together, it means that, too often, Americans can’t afford housing at all: Foreclosures have shot up in 2023 by more than one third over last year’s rate.

Everyone is taking it hard—even the group Biden should most identify with: senior citizens.

After one of the largest Social Security cost-of-living increases in years, more senior citizens were living in poverty in 2022 than a year earlier: 14 percent of the elderly live in poverty in Joe Biden’s America.

In the spirit of the holiday, Americans should remember we all have a great deal to be thankful for.

We still have our family, friends, and loved ones, who are easier to contact than any time in human history.

Despite the Democrats’ best efforts, America is still the freest and most prosperous country in the world.

We still live under the providence of a loving and merciful God, Who saw us through one more year of waste, destruction, and terrible political choices from both sides of the aisle.

And, with this economy, we should be especially thankful the presidential election is less than one year away.

This time next year, our whole country—from Maine to Mar-a-Lago—may have reason to celebrate.
