At odds with the Obamas, ignoring pleas from panicked advisors, Jill Biden is so desperate to maintain power she's forcing her ailing husband to remain on a global stage despite accelerating decline
Not too bad of a gig for a girl who started out as the family’s babysitter…..Lady McBiden indeed, married to crazy King Lear. It’s elder abuse. Why anyone is good with this on a private or public level is appalling. Oh, and Pelosi says “ Trump has Alzheimer’s too.” Here’s an idea…. How about everyone stops lying about everything??
I have questioned who is actually running the country and making the decisions. The Joe Biden from Thursday is not that. I thought it was Obama, but if the relationship is cool then is it really JILL? Seriously?? We are so vulnerable at the moment. Who is in charge of the Democrat Machine?
I’ve been wondering this also. I thought I had it figured out that Biden, Obama et al are puppets for who’s really behind the curtain. Now I’m really freaked out. Maybe they just didn’t tell them lol.
It seems pretty clear this administration and the DNC lacks leadership. It's being run by advisors, pollsters, lobbyists, and cowards. Hence the chaos and lack of vision or direction. No one person is pulling any strings.
I’m sure you’ve read in comment sections about family members recognizing in Joe Biden the all too sad and obvious symptoms of dementia that they’ve experienced first hand. As the primary caregiver for my father in law in our home until his death, it’s a trigger for many who have experienced this and especially undignified for a once proud person. When we were nearing end stage, a wise elder care counselor gave it to us straight, she said that he will seem to be in somewhat of a decline with whack a mole symptoms until he reaches a cliff and then simply drop off in a steep and quick decline. Exactly how it was. That low raspy voice and gaping mouth represent the stage where they begin to require soft foods and straws because swallowing is harder. Talking is breathy and labored. They clear their throat a lot. Sleep and moods are irregular. Sundowning is the norm, with agitation and outbursts, to minimize this, routine is important!! Stress can exasperate them and exacerbate their symptoms. I can’t imagine Jill Biden hasn’t been counseled by the best of the best. I think he was a dangerous man, because of his swampy selfishness and rules for thee and not for me, but it’s turned into a nightmare case scenario because of Lady Macbeth and her own self serving actions.
Yes I thought Parkinson’s also because of my father’s decline. Biden has been showing physical Parkinson’s symptom since on the 2020 campaign trail. Now top it with dementia…Obama had to prop up Joe on Friday
Your description is spot on. I have gone through it now with 3 family members and a close family friend. It is awful to live through…be a witness to and watching this play out on a National stage the last few years has been very triggering for me. The debate almost sent me off the metaphorical cliff. Seeing some of Biden’s reactions specifically his smirk or laugh—it’s one that I’ve only ever seen in my family members when they were in that steady decline & their laugh or smile was more nasty…not who they were or the person we knew them to be before… Also his staring & gaping mouth…it’s just so depressing & deplorable.
I’m sorry you went through this too. It is very hard to watch someone in decline in such a public way. I know so many of us have been touched by this in some way and wish he had the support he deserves.
After reading American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden, I was surprised about the coldness from Jill to the Obama’s especially Michelle. It definitely made me look at her differently. Also Michelle is very close to Hunter’s ex wife and expressing dissatisfaction with how the family is treating her and the reason why they haven’t been out supporting them on the campaign trail. This whole thing is so disheartening. Great reporting per usual, Jessica
I love these conversations. But I’ll also say I’d rather have them plow ahead thinking all is right in Democrat-land. The less that made of it the more it becomes a race between Bobby and Donald. Which to me is the real race. That said…
The $5,000 dress of all dresses. Hopefully she enjoys it because she’s gotten used to manipulating money and buying what she wants at will. Those days are coming to a close. Maybe she’ll be buried in it, I think to myself. Then realizing Hunter knows the value so he’ll trade for something! 🤣
They’ve used their Delaware home as an ATM machine refinancing it 20 time in a few short years to pull millions out of it $350,000 value. How is that possible if not for elite favors?
The comparison to Lady Macbeth is spot on! There’s nothing more intoxicating than being able to do as you please without question. 🤨 The problem being is that intoxication doesn’t last (unless you’re a Clinton evidently) and you soon find yourself wait high in detox without a friend in the world. Step-mom status is not a good place for her.
Your list! So good. My only add would be the repeated Hitler clone that Trump is purported to be. Like what? No. Just more rhetoric backed by nothing other than a few celebrities who says they witnessed the McCarthy trials and it wasn’t pretty. But what a weird way to see it up for them.
I guess I’ll have to add the label to my bio: “House Inhabit junkie” for sure. Keep up the great work.
Ok so when I did theatre, there was a common joke that when you were in a terrible show or you went to your friend’s terrible show, afterward the only thing you could ever say was “WOW! You were ON that stage!!!” 😂 It was code for “there is absolutely nothing I can say at all right now and stay friends.” And it’s all I could hear when Jill said to her little boy Benjamin Button “You answered all of those questions!”
My question is…what power is Jill Biden wielding or what is she influencing that she is so terrified to let go of? I know power is an addictive thing but what is she influencing so greatly that she can’t let go because she so obviously won’t let Joe out because she feels she has some greater influence.
Exactly this Jess! This is what I believe she is doing & the card she is playing! They have nothing! When most POTUS & FLOTUS leave the White House they have book deals & libraries & so many $$$$ offers lined up for their future. Her current outlook is being a caretaker to a man in severe mental decline. I believe she is holding out & putting him on display as her bargaining chip with the Democrats to buy them out…
What a great story with the perfect analogy to Lady MacBeth. The current crop of Democrats are just vile grifters and Vogue magazine rises to the top in promoting that grift with their constant fawning coverage and photoshopping of the "beautiful people" aka Democrats. Our country deserves so much better, but first, we have to collectively come to that realization and believe that just because someone is a Democrat doesn't mean their motives are pure.
Please don't think I'm impugning all Democrats - most of my friends are Democrats, and I like them very much. By "the current crop" I mean the leadership under the Clinton/Obama cabal and their immediate sycophants: Schumer, Pelosi, Raskin, Waters, Schiff. They are the worst. And you are right: we don't deserve this but sometimes, by voting for a party instead of a position, I think we do get what we deserve.
I don't believe that the "current crop of Democrats are just ......." but I am a Democrat, living in Wyoming and Never Get the Correct News. I am sickened (and moving).

Certainly the current leadership doesn’t demonstrate good motives, as they all were on the Sunday and morning news shows, circling the Biden’s wagon and, in doing so, protecting their own jobs. Even the major networks said Schumer, Raskin, et al, are reluctant to speak out for fear of repercussions. Grow a backbone and finally do the right thing.
I am just at a loss every time I read what is going on??!! These are the craziest times that we are living in I will continue to say… it’s like we’re living in a movie in a make believe world that’s a nightmare
We’re living in the upside down 🙃
Thank you Jessica for keeping us updated with the facts 🫶🏽✌🏽
She loves being the Gatekeeper to the Wizard… she knows they NEED him for certain protocols, appearances, signatures, etc. Heady stuff and intoxicating. The powers that be will soon undermine her, and Jill will no doubt be out and confounded by the speed and certainty of it all.
It’s been said Ukraine is blackmailing the current administration. I’ve read the bridge that was hit by the barge was a message to the US - shortly after more money was sent to Ukraine. I doubt Jill is doing this for herself. I bet they are in bed with bad actors in Ukraine who want the cash flow to keep coming and are pressuring the family to get Biden in. No way Jill is running the country. It’s the heads of the three letter agencies and all their creatures for sure.
In the real world Biden would have been forced to step down as ceo of even a small business , In a large company the board and shareholders would have given him his marching orders years ago ,
Re: the Vogue cover - wow, poor timing 😅, and Link pointed out that the dress she’s wearing costs $5,000! Def lines up with the entitled-and-power-hungry angle. She’s trying to do a House of Cards. Just makes me appreciate Cheryl Hines all the more.
Is it wrong to be bitter that Vogue robbed us of Melania’s style and keeps serving us such lackluster subjects?
NO!
No, it’s just wrong that Vogue and all of the media treated Melania so abysmally. Jill wears picnic table clothes and they swoon!! 😂
Couches! She wears couches.
I solved the problem and cancelled my subscription after being a long time subscriber of over 35 years.
I don’t think Melania cares. She got her wonderful Vogue cover 20 years ago! (it was a great cover in my opinion!)
She cares. And I don’t blame her!!
I have been saying this for a long time. Just a thought, do you think they asked and Melania, being the private person she is, declined?
Not too bad of a gig for a girl who started out as the family’s babysitter…..Lady McBiden indeed, married to crazy King Lear. It’s elder abuse. Why anyone is good with this on a private or public level is appalling. Oh, and Pelosi says “ Trump has Alzheimer’s too.” Here’s an idea…. How about everyone stops lying about everything??
Lady McBiden! LOL. You win.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a caregiver. The word you used, “undignified,” is spot on. What Jill and Hunter are doing is abusive.
Who's to say whether Sleepy Joe might have karmically earned a bit of abuse?
Nah, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone but I understand the sentiment. :)
You're kinder than I am, that's for sure. The world needs more of your kind.
Just hopeful things will improve once they realize they can’t keep lying to us.
Quite sad.
Yes, my father had Parkinson's and had those exact same symptoms.
Yes I thought Parkinson’s also because of my father’s decline. Biden has been showing physical Parkinson’s symptom since on the 2020 campaign trail. Now top it with dementia…Obama had to prop up Joe on Friday
Yes, the freezing, the shuffling
I’m so sorry. It’s a tough thing to go through as a family. My FIL had Parkinson’s and Dementia. 🙏🏻

It's so dark, right?
I was shocked at how isolated she made the family especially with the Obama’s only having dinner with them I think twice during the presidency?! Wild!
Michelle Obama is close with Hunter Biden’s ex-wife?
Yes I believe they are around the same age.
That’s wild to me.
SS always said Hillary was a biotch. Seems to be passed down from the democrat elites… whoda thunk?!? Why are they such miserable people??
Who is SS?
Secret Service I believe

Excellent and true. I would venture to admit that Jill might be worse than Hillary and that’s saying something.
The veil has been lifted.
Free Joe Biden! T’s?

Because the lifestyle (Air Force One, nice clothes and the White House) can’t be all she’s afraid to lose…
The Bidens have no money and the whole family are dependents. I predict they’ll be given a golden parachute by democrats to leave.
Exactly this Jess! This is what I believe she is doing & the card she is playing! They have nothing!

We do not deserve this. The fact that she is putting her power cravings before the people is absolutely disgusting.

Very true! I believe that most of the time Democrats motives are fair and honest. MEGA?
One need look no further than how they treat Dean Phillips or RFK, Jr. Their motives are winning at all costs!

Nope!

$113,000,000 to be exact.
In the real world Biden would have been forced to step down as ceo of even a small business , In a large company the board and shareholders would have given him his marching orders years ago ,
Another great article!!! Thanks Jess. It’s answers the question we have all been asking, who the hell is in charge?
