Joe Biden spent most of his adult life lying. He lied about his first wife’s death. He did that for sympathy votes. It worked. While he sucked on the teat of government, he lied about everything else. He was a star athlete. No, he wasn’t. He was a star student. No, he wasn’t. He drove an 18-wheeler. No, he didn’t. Joe’s phony resume tanked his first run for president.
When Obama tapped him for VP, Obama wasn’t picking Biden for expertise, his mental acuity or political chops – he picked Biden to be his bucket of warm spit. Biden was so inept at the mostly useless job of VP that Obama said of Joe that no one should underestimate Joe ability to screw things up.
Before Joe’s 2021 Afghanistan debacle he was infamous for being the only person in the Situation Room to vote-down the Bin Laden raid. Obama likely reasoned that, if Biden thought it was a bad idea, it was likely a great idea. Biden has always been a dope. A middling mind with a big mouth.
After 8 years of Obama, Democrat machine politics dictated that it was Hilary’s turn. Sure, Obama desperately wanted a stooge that he could manipulate, but it was Hilary’s turn. Obama gave Joe the Presidential Medal of Freedom as gold-watch-go-away parting gift to old Joe. Jill Biden was not happy. Jill wanted the presidency, not a Medal of Freedom for Joe.
In 2019 Jill Biden saw that her long sought goal of the White House was, once again, a possibility. Sure, by 2019, that middling mind of Joe Biden had deteriorated into the darkening edges of dementia, but Jill knew that a COVID lockdown would mask most of Joe mental decline. And media would play along. Joe’s mental decline was obvious to his wife, but Jill’s ambition of being the power behind the crown trumped her duty to care for a mentally infirmed husband.
Jill’s prior ambitions had been of petty scope. She was insistent on being called “Dr. Biden”. Jill had wanted that title for years but not for substance reasons – she just wanted the title. Why? Jill had noted that the Bidens’ mail often read: “Senator and Mrs. Biden”. That vexed her. She wanted a title that trumped “Senator”.
She wasn’t smart enough to earn a real doctorate in a substantive discipline, but she could get one in Education, at a second-rate school. The cure for her itch was to enroll in a second-class college where her husband was its most esteemed alum.
So, Jill Biden enrolled at the University of Delaware and did the minimum to earn her piece of paper, and phony doctorate. How do I know it was the minimum? I read her dissertation. It is, in a word, doggerel. In two words – it is god-awful. The National Review and the Wall Street Journal’s critiques were both blistering and accurate in their critique. Forbes was more gentle – but even it read like an icepick to her cerebellum. If you wish, you can blow some brain cells by reading it yourself. To say that it lacks academic rigor is like calling water wet. She’s paraded her fake “call me Doctor Jill” for years, but in 2019 life would crescendo for Jill. In 2019 the White House was, once again, in sight. The good [fake] doctor saw a lane for succession to the throne. The Oval Office was finally in sight.
Jill had a presidency to win, and Joe dementia wasn’t going to stop her.
Mind you, convincing Joe to stay in the shadows wasn’t a genius move by Jill. Sure, she instigated it, but others took the laboring oar. Hiding her husband’s dementia – and in fact, physically hiding Joe was done by everyone who spent any time with him. As early as 2019 – before a single primary vote was cast, they knew. His handlers knew. Legacy media knew. Even when Biden was clearly lost in a brain fog, media hacks pretended that he wasn’t in decline. It is only now that they are admitting to their failures.
Joe Scarbough claimed that the “2024 version” of Joe Biden was the best Biden he had ever seen. And that was after Joe flamed out in a debate.
Everyone with eyes and ears witnessed an old man wondering the world stage. We knew. A doddering old man was president. We knew he was a wreck of a man. A shell of that middling loudmouth from yesteryear would have been a vast improvement over what we got.
The Wall Street Journal published an exposé this week exposing what most of America already knew. Joe wasn’t the president. His staff and principally his wife ran the Oval Office. Joe was a shell of a man. The Wall Street Journal wrote in part:
To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.
Who was responsible for this dereliction? It starts with Jill Biden. Her hubris, her desire for power trumped her husband’s health, and the health of the country. History will be unkind to her, and rightly so. Jill Biden is Lady Macbeth.
A month ago with Trump’s victory in hand, Jill Biden’s days pretending to be president were over. She and her husband had, once again, retired to their Delaware home. They were walking on the sand. Joe looked nothing short of pathetic. His mouth agape – and old man struggling to walk.

He did everything but face-plant yet Lady Macbeth did nothing to help. Jill no longer needed to pretend to care. Her presidency was ending.
There are many enablers to blame for electing and hiding a doddering old man, but the blame starts and should end with his wife. She knew Joe Biden was a shell of a man in 2019, yet she pushed him to run. She knew that he wouldn’t last his four years, but Lady Macbeth wanted power and titles, free designer clothes and Air Force One as her private jet.
Is Jill Biden evil?
Yes
