Las Vegas—Her husband campaigned to help unite the country, but Jill Biden says “healing” a nation wounded by a deadly pandemic, natural and other disasters and deep political polarization is among her chief roles as first lady, too. Wrapping up a year in which she saw herself as a key member of President Joe Biden’s team, the first lady told The Associated Press that she found herself taking on a role that “I didn’t kind of expect, which was like a healing role, because we’ve faced so much as a nation.” Jill Biden spoke sitting in the sunshine near a swimming pool at a Las Vegas hotel

Comments:

Isn't she wonderful? Oh, and that's Doctor Jill Biden, if you please; no need to be disrespectful.

Geez...they got the spelling wrong. She was referring to her "Heeling" role...she's had to train Joey to Heel, sit, stay, shut up, lie down...beg...play dead, go to his cushion, and not crap on the carpet.

Barf! Another puff piece by friendly MSM in an attempt to bolster the Bidens. Look, it's over for them. Once you get into a slump this deep, you can't get out of it without a totally new season with new blood, and the Democrats are drained of blood. The only way they can get back is by cheating and getting away with it.

Better start at home lady. Your husband has dementia, your son is a drug addict and you have a high personal problem with Narcissism. Once you’ve cured all these issues we can talk about others.

Go to your local library (or pay the very steep $25 price on Amazon) and read "Laptop from Hell" by Miranda Devine of the N.Y. Post. I was pretty well aware of the vast cupidity and corruptiion of the Biden machine, and the fact that the lovely Jill consistently slept (doctored word) with good ole Joe long before her own divorce ,plus had one of the most pathetic and dysfunctional scrides toward her "doctorate" (in Kiddie Lit?). Fox, NewsMax and a very few newspapers managed to gather the facts and disperse them but so many hated Trump so much they didn't listen.. Thus reading the totally researched and validated book makes you take anything Lady Jill has to say with a mountain of salt!!!!! What a family! And what a warped country that allows someone like Joe et al to reach the Presidency. I have nothing but vast contempt for the Press in general, and the AP in particular.

I live near the recent Colorado fires, and watched the helicopters ferry the Bidens to and from DIA to a regional airport near my house when they went to view the aftermath of the fires. Both times they flew directly over my house. Those two spent less than three hours on the ground including a 30 minute drive to/from the regional airport to the closest burned neighborhood, plus another 10 minutes to the senior center where they met a few hand-picked victims out of ~1000 totally destroyed homes. So....tell me how much healing did this hag do in less than two hours with only a few victims??? The whole trip was nothing but a photo op.

I wonder of their Colorado visit was appreciated; I'm sure these families are positively reeling from losing practically everything they owned. Maybe they didn't need the distraction of having to interact with these two insincere individuals. I remember the low marks Mr. Biden received from the family members of the soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan when he met with them and Jill has also been heckled a time or two herself especially when making the rounds extolling the virtues of the vaxx. What.A.Pair!

Jill was responsible for 3 children - Joseph Biden, Jr., known as Beau, Robert, known as Hunter, and Ashleu. Joseph Jr. was, apparently normal, died early from a brain tumor, Robert and Ashley, both serious drug addicts, each with psycho-sexual problems. And Dementia Jo showered with his young daughter, Ashley, who says she was sexually molested by someone. Wouldn't the main suspect be Jo, who had a public history of touching girls inappropriately?
