This is presidential power on life support, and Jill Biden refuses to pull the plug.
For someone who ridiculously insists on being called “Doctor” (Jill is not a medical doctor, she doesn’t even have a PhD, just the most famous community college professor in America), well, Jill seems anything but.
You could say what she is doing to her husband is elder abuse, and what she is doing to the nation is unforgivable.
It is not enough that The New York Times, the day after last Thursday’s calamitous debate, called on President Biden to resign.
Or that the New Yorker, The Economist, the Chicago Tribune and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have also called for Biden to resign.
You could say that what Jill is doing to her husband is elder abuse, and what she is doing to the nation is unforgivable.
As for the American electorate, a new CBS poll shows that 72 percent of registered voters, both Republicans and Democrats, believe Joe Biden should not run for a second term.
The same percentage said they do not believe he is mentally and cognitively fit to serve as president.
That last bit of information raises a broader question, one that the mainstream media (which was telling us, until last week, that videos of Biden walking away at the G7 or acting confused in Normandy or generally stumbling around, looking vacant and slack-jawed, were all “cheap fakes”) has yet to address: Who is the Democratic nominee? In fact ruling the United States of America?
Jill could probably tell us, but she’s too busy rushing her corpse husband, Weekend at Bernie’s style, from the debate stage to the campaign trail to a glitzy fundraiser in the Hamptons this weekend, acting like everything is perfectly fine, everything is working, and there’s nothing to see here.
Oh, and she also appears to have greenlit a hagiographic Vogue cover that hit the market on Monday: Jill in a cream-colored designer suit, lit like a religious apparition, and our saintly Dr. Jill gazing up at the sky.
Her name appears in huge letters, a size she will surely use when her husband is forced to leave school. Until then, she offers this defiant cover sentence: “We will decide our future.”
For anyone who thinks he’s talking about American voters and democracy, let me disprove that.
Jill means that the Biden family will decide for itself whether Joe stays in the race. And if she has her way, Joe will.
That’s what the Bidens are like: cowardly, cynical, selfish and shameless to the end.
It’s pretty clear they don’t give a damn about America, the average voter, national security or our allies.
Vogue’s new hagiographic cover features Jill in a cream designer suit, lit like a religious apparition, our saintly Dr. Jill looking heavenward.
It’s pretty clear they don’t give a damn about America, the average voter, national security or our allies.
The Biden family doesn’t care that nearly every other G7 leader has expressed alarm at Biden’s decline.
Or that 45 administration officials, from both parties, told the Wall Street Journal just a few weeks ago that Biden seems to fall asleep in meetings.
Or that, as reported on Monday, Joe’s only operates between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. (if you believe that, which I don’t).
If anything, this would be the moment when a caring family—a truly loving wife—pulls up the drawbridge, saves her husband and father from himself, seeks to preserve his legacy, and insists that he retire with dignity.
But “dignity” and the Biden family do not know each other well. They are not even distantly related.
No: As reports emerge that party officials have told the president he has a week to prove his worth or voluntarily step down, and that Joe himself feels “humiliated” by his debate performance, Jill and Hunter Biden are said to be urging Joe to stay in the race.
Of course! This is what the Bidens do: When given the choice of acting with grace or greed, courage or cynicism, choosing patriotic duty over personal sacrifice, they always choose the less advantageous option.
One suspects that Jill and Hunter are clinging to the presidency because they know, deep down, that without it they are classless, over-indebted with multiple mortgages, mounting legal bills and no second act in sight.
Without Joe as president, what do these two have to offer?
So here’s Jill turning to Anna Wintour, another power-hungry dinosaur, and hosting a fawning Vogue writer who recounts “sipping honey-ginger tea” from “dainty cups” with the otherwise down-to-earth First Lady as they gaze out over the South Lawn of the White House.
“We don’t need any more chaos,” Jill tells her interviewer.
HA! If she really believes it, there is a sure way to prove it.
Yet in this same profile, we have to endure friends and staff members talking about good, everyday Jill, who doesn’t really like DC or the trappings of power and celebrity, and who would be more than happy to leave the White House behind.
If you believe that, I have Corn Pop ready to show you how he, not Joey, beat Medicare.
“She misses normality,” said Mary Doody, a close friend of Jill’s. “I guarantee you that when (Joe) leaves office … they’ll be home and happy to be there.”
Really? Because the media, which is generally left-leaning, has simply built them a way out, a wheelchair-accessible way out.
In any case, this would be the moment when a caring family would raise the drawbridge, save her husband and father from himself, try to preserve his legacy and insist that he retire with dignity.
One suspects that Jill and Hunter are clinging to the presidency because they know, deep down, that without it they are classless, over-indebted with multiple mortgages, mounting legal bills and no second act in sight.
And here’s Jill’s “work husband,” her senior adviser Anthony Bernal, who has reportedly sexually harassed and bullied his colleagues: “Her family means everything to her.”
Yes, I’m sorry, no. I don’t believe that. If family meant everything to Dr. Jill, she would have told Joe a long time ago that she wasn’t running for a second term.
If family was everything, she wouldn’t have dragged her husband to a televised campaign rally after that disastrous debate, condescendingly telling him, “You did a great job! You answered every question!”
This is the President of the United States, not some little kid in remedial reading class.
What is it with the Biden family and their propensity for public humiliation?
If family was everything to Jill, she wouldn’t have wrapped herself in a ‘VOTE’ dress after the debate.
She wouldn’t have dragged Joe to a midnight Waffle House stop long after his bedtime.
And I wouldn’t have called Annie Leibovitz to Camp David this weekend to take a big ceremonial family photograph to mark the lowest point of her husband’s life. To commemorate what we all know is the end of his hopes, if not his place in history.
And as for that vaunted “democracy” that Jill insists she is fighting for, well, we didn’t elect it. his.
How hypocritical it is to claim that Donald Trump represents the greatest threat to democracy of all time, when we don’t even know who is really in charge in the Biden White House.
Towards the end of her Vogue profile, Jill is quoted addressing a “Women for Biden” event, speaking about Trump and her husband’s enemies.
“They underestimate our power,” Jill says, “because they don’t understand it.”
Truer words that chill the spine.
