That Jill Biden frequently plays director and shover in chief for supposed leader of the free world Joe Biden when he appears lost and/or confused during public speaking engagements is not new news.
But a new report from the New York Times which detailed how the First Lady was stepping in for her husband in key battleground races contained new information as to the depths she goes through to control not just Biden but also his infamous handlers, the ones who are charged with aggressively herding the press away from him, cleaning up his rhetorical messes, and who also work hard at limiting his public appearances so as to avoid any more embarrassing gaffes.
From that Times story (bolded emphasis added by me):
Lauren A. Wright, a professor at Princeton who has written extensively about political appearances by first ladies, said the East Wing under Dr. Biden, 71, who kept teaching as an English professor as first lady, has become completely intertwined with the political efforts of the West Wing.
“This role has become so serious and political,” she said. “It must be part of the strategic White House planning and effort. Otherwise you’re wasting opportunities.”
[…]
She is incredibly protective of Mr. Biden, and has been involved in the hiring of his press staff and other senior aides. (She vetted Jen Psaki, Mr. Biden’s first press secretary, alongside her husband.) She has been direct when she believes they have not protected him: After Mr. Biden delivered a nearly two-hour news conference in January, members of his senior staff were rehashing the appearance in the Treaty Room when the first lady appeared.
She pointedly asked the group, which included the president, why nobody stepped in to stop it, according to a person who was in the room. Where was the person, she demanded, who was supposed to end the news conference?
As the New York Post observed, that was the infamous presser where Joe Biden greatly alarmed Ukraine by appearing to greenlight a “minor incursion” into the country by Russia, the latter of which was already sending strong signals that they would do much more than that. His handlers had to step in on to rescue Joe on that statement, too.
In a normal situation, a woman stepping in to protect and defend her aging husband, to make sure he’s not taken advantage of or made to look bad is not a big deal. There are female caregivers all across America who do just that every day with their spouses, and that’s okay.
But this is not a normal situation we’re talking about there. Joe Biden is the President of the United States, a position in which projecting strength and demonstrating the ability to communicate coherently and make your own decisions is paramount to your success here at home and abroad as well as with your international foes, who though they may not respect whoever the president is at any given time do respect strength.
As former First Lady Hillary Clinton found out the hard way, it’s not spouses people are electing to represent them; it’s the candidates themselves. And while consulting with your spouse on a hiring decision for a non-policy role is one thing, having them routinely take the lead on such matters and also seeing them routinely maneuver around the president like a puppet on a string, having to constantly correct them while also berating overworked handlers behind the scenes is just not a good look. Like at all.
It’s no wonder there are reports swirling of “contingency plans” being put in place by Democrats ahead of 2024. Joe Biden is a man who is simply not in control much anymore in any meaningful way, not in what he says nor in the way he behaves around others, all of which again raises the question as to just who or what group of people are actually taking the lead in the absence of his failures to do so?
It’s the million dollar question — and one which the answer to may reside at the fingertips of Jill Biden herself.
This Vile Power - Money Hungry Adulteress Fake Catholic and DR is as Dangerous as Evita Perron was .
Just look at her 2020 Campaign speeches. She is a screaming Radical Nut job .
She sold her Soul and senile Amoral Joe to China and Soros cabal for the power and money .
VJ and Susan Rice are helping push the Cloward Piven strategy to purposely Destroy this country .
The most evil political leftist First Lady in our life time .
I thank god I do not have a wife that would use me in such a way
It was widely reported that Jill hates Kamala, so there’s that.
You aren’t POTUS.....................😉
“It was widely reported that Jill hates Kamala, so there’s that.”
That’s because Joe can’t keep his hands off of the kamalatoe.
Hey, Skeeter... She is, after all, a 10th grade history teacher. So she’s as accomplished as Obummer was.
That photo is chilling. WTF is going on in DC?
Jill is also the reason for th cat fights with Kamal - and Pelosi. hree women all who think they should have the last say regarding Bidens agendas.
Jill Biden is Joe’s Elena Ceausescu, complete with a phony degree.

Yep...I recall that photo shoot of Jill “preparing” for an overseas G meting or something of that note. Imagine a 70 yr. old school teacher preparing anything for the President of the US.
Hillary told all the country that she was the co-president.
Unelected and unaccountable.
That is a frightening picture. Just what is she looking at?
Is she signing documents for Joe?
Kind of makes sense now why she pushed Joe to run so that she could shove him out of the way and take over.
Caption for that first picture.
“You are not getting any ice cream today Joe”
It’s the President’s briefing book most likely. Not “First Lady” stuff.
Of course, I NEVER comment on her “senior moments.” lol
When God judges a nation it could look exactly like what we are seeing in the USA in 2022.
What is going on in NYC sure looks like God’s judgement as well.
When the WTC was attacked in 2001 ... one might have thought that any protection that God had afforded NYC had been lifted. I am sure some people repented. But it seems like any such repentance and contrition was short-lived. Or maybe the Sept 11th thing was just a beginning.
The correction (i.e. reversal) of the Roe v Wade case is an encouraging thing. After nearly 50 years and 10s of millions of deaths, it is a hard-won victory for righteousness.
Man, apart from God, and left to his own thinking and solutions has given us a most dystopian nation and world.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is what is needed. And what has been rejected by most.
Genesis 6
New International Version
Wickedness in the World
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
