So much of what people call “news” isn’t hard facts. There’s a less favorable word for it: publicity. When Democrats rule, news meets a dam, and publicity overflows.
On June 29, ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired several minutes of this, swooning over Jill Biden and promoting a preposterously positive cover story in the August issue of Vogue magazine. Nobody reads Vogue for hard facts about politics. The fashion magazine, run by longtime Democrat Anna Wintour, is a willing participant in glossy propaganda.
ABC reporter Janai Norman happily repeated that Jill Biden told Vogue: “I want the White House to feel comfortable. It’s like my beach house where you feel like you can just come in and your bathing suit is sandy, but it’s OK to sit down on the chair.” It’s not the People’s House. It’s a beach house.
Chioma Nnadi, editor of Vogue.com, gushed to ABC that the first lady has “embraced her role with both hands, and she’s also kept her role as a teacher, you know. She’s extremely inspiring as someone who can multitask with a smile on her face.”
The cover story comes with a bunch of pretty, posed pictures — of Jill Biden, Jill with Joe, and Jill with precious Biden grandchildren — all by star photographer Annie Leibovitz. Some have designer captions: “Dr. Biden wears a Michael Kors Collection sweater and skirt.”
Troubling family topics — such as Hunter Biden and his infernal laptop — are all airbrushed out.
Inside the magazine, writer Jonathan Van Meter turned to Mary Jordan, a Washington Post reporter, who hailed Jill Biden as “an underestimated asset … It’s hard to imagine Joe doing this without her.” Jordan regaled Vogue with all the parties she’s attended with the Bidens, and how they let everyone take photographs because they’re so very fun-loving and normal. Jill sprinkled Joe with a squirt gun! Aren’t they the best?
Servile publicity sounds like this: while Joe Biden hugs a kid waving a flag, “Jill lingers on the macadam behind him in black-and-white stilettos, looking every inch a goddess at 69.”
Van Meter then underlined how un-Trumpy this is: “It’s moments like this with the Bidens — hugging children! — that bring home just how incomprehensibly irregular and out of place our previous president and first lady really were.”
In Sugar Puff Land, Jill is both a “goddess” to be adored and “perfectly calibrated” for “a nearly pomp-free presidency.”
We’re subjected to happy talk about how “countless editorials began marking the first 100 days of the Biden administration, many expressing surprised relief over how much was getting done, how much legitimately helpful policy was moving through the system, how little drama, how few flubs or fumbles or ugly fights.”
To quote “The Lego Movie,” the theme song is “Everything Is Awesome!”
There was no Vogue cover story for Melania Trump. Three years ago, Vogue instead was celebrating porn star Stormy Daniels (complete with posed, pretty Annie Leibovitz portraits) as a “catalyst of historic proportions,” destined to ruin the Trumps.
These sticky valentines underline that, overall, journalists shouldn’t boast it’s their job to ask tough questions and hold powerful people accountable. Because they seem to do that about half the time. That’s the spin when the Democrats they supported didn’t win.
Democrats pretend everyone’s a Democrat. Vogue pushed Jill Biden on the cover as a “First Lady for All of Us.” That’s transparently false, but the liberal media lamely attempt the Jedi mind trick: “You will all adore, admire and envy Jill Biden in her stilettos, every inch the goddess at 69 … ”

” Jill Biden told Vogue: “I want the White House to feel comfortable. It’s like my beach house where you feel like you can just come in and your bathing suit is sandy, but it’s OK to sit down on the chair.” It’s not the People’s House. It’s a beach house.”
Then Why did the Democrats impeach President Trump and kill Ashli Babbitt and put in prison people who entered her beach house on Jan. 6 2021??
That happened at the capital, not the white house.
You’re right, it was the capital. BUT, I think you get Scruffy’s point, homer!
THESE DAYS they are not the media, but the propaganda outlet of the Communist Demon-rat party.
This is like putting a tux on a frog and calling it a prince. Please. So the White House now is [p;otoca; cemter pf [p,[ amd ,erro,emt and its chief residents, so long as they are authentic Democrats, are the epitome of gods and goddesses—of flamboyance and fashion. Remember how Bill and Hillary partied it up at his inauguration? Barack and Michelle were the first ebony stars to grace the mansion—the impeccable crease in his slacks and everything Michelle wore was breathtaking.
“Van Meter then underlined how un-Trumpy this is: “It’s moments like this with the Bidens — hugging children! — that bring home just how incomprehensibly irregular and out of place our previous president and first lady really were.” He understood his job and he did what was right for the people and the country.
“We’re subjected to happy talk about how “countless editorials began marking the first 100 days of the Biden administration, many expressing surprised relief over how much was getting done, how much legitimately helpful policy was moving through the system, how little drama, how few flubs or fumbles or ugly fights.” Yeah—all through executive orders and avoiding Congress. W whirlwind of absolute destruction.
They need to can the glamour there is a serious job there that requires a high degree of competence.
CORRECTION TO MY FIRST PARAGRAPH
So the White House now is the political center of pomp and merriment
IT certainly seems that way.. SINCE Jackie kennedy, the left has seemed to GUSH OVER any democrat first lady, while sneering at republican first ladies.
Yeah she’s so godly and sexy. As much as incoherent joe who likes to creepily touch woman’s hair and then and creepily whispering into a mike. Talk to him without a teleprompter or someone holding his hand( “dr” jill or some other minion) within just few feet of him to shut him up when he reveals what they are all like. They are pathetic just like the pathetic so called press. I want to be just like them- when I get younger.
I have enjoyed your comments and your username for quite some time now. I’ve been wanting to ask: Are you James or John? (-:
Thank you so much! I don’t normally go back and check comments to my comments, but I’m glad I did this time. Actually. I’m a Michael—an archangel (with some thunder, too). I didn’t realize I had somewhat of a following, but it is nice to know. Thanks again!
Hey, I’m a Michael as well, and my mom referenced the archangel during my childhood as her influence in naming me. I love that reference in the New Testament to the Sons of Thunder and I smile when I see that you have adopted that moniker. Strong work.
Like her rival the Round-heeled Mongrel, the good doctor owes everything she has to well-chosen infidelity. The goddess in question (appropriate in view of what country controls the U.S. now) is Tagbayaw, the Manobo patroness of adultery in Chinese mythology.
That’s DOCTOR Jill Biden, you serf.
Eight years of gushing about the (wo)manly features of Michelle, then four years of snubbing Melania, and now four years of gushing over DR. Biden. No, the Press isn’t in the tank for the Democrat Party.
Don’t forget the prior bashing on Mrs bush, while loving on hillary..
Isn’t this just like the blind men giving their description of a Elephant ?
Marxist democrat, Teachers Union ” DOCTOR ” Biden’s wife, is suddenly A princess too My, My, who knew, that along with her being ” A Doctor Democrat Marxist President Joe Biden also had a ( Princess as a wife . But I fear that Joe Biden’s wife is only identified as a Princess by the fauning,In the bag, Marxist media. Joe Biden’s wife I guess only a Princess in the Media , only titled a Princess by the ” In the bag, media.
Jill the “goddess”. The slobbering of liberal communists over false idols / Jill Biden. Jill, I am a journalist, what flavor ice cream are you eating?

Hark, do I see a ” Double Entedra , ” here?
Since lackluster, politically myopic, and constantly confused Joe Biden is a presidential version of Mr. Magoo and a national embarrassment for the ruling Democrats, the left’s propagandists in the mainstream media are attempting to distract our attention from Joe’s numerous flaws by focusing on Jill Biden and describing her in the most outrageously glowing terms that have ever been used to describe a First Lady. Even Michelle Obama, the darling of the left, did not receive the the amount of exaggerated praise that is being heaped upon Jill Biden. As Joe’s cognitive and physical health continue to decline, we can expect the leftists in the media to ramp up their Jill Biden love fest. No one can tell just how far this insane campaign to idolize Jill Biden will go but I wouldn’t be surprised to eventually see Dr. Jill elevated to St. Jill.
Please don’t disparage Mr. Magoo by linking his name and image to President Blundering Biden. Mr. Magoo was and is, in my opinion, a well liked character, unlike the Biden, the poster boy for incoherent speech and temper tantrums (when asked questions he can’t answer without someone whispering in his ear bud or index cards).
PLUS Magoo was a fantasy character. BIDEN is unfortunately, VERY REAL!
I find these articles offensive, and I find Ms. Biden’s insistence that she be called Dr. ridiculous. For any one familiar with doctoral degrees, an Ed.D., especially one related to an education discipline, is near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to doctorates. My husband and I both hold doctoral degrees – his is a Ph.D. in computer science from a top university, and mine is a Psy.D. in clinical psychology. Neither of us expect anyone to call us doctor outside our places of employment. Even at work, I encourage people not to call me doctor. For me, someone who insists on using the title for such an inferior doctoral degree screams of insecurity and a sense of entitlement. “Goddess” is the last thing I would call her.
Great comment. When I graduated from med school my mom asked me why I wasn’t putting “Dr.” in front of my name on my personal checks. I explained that outside my office I don’t care to throw the title and anyone. I know who and what I am, and outside the office it shouldn’t make a hill of beans bit of difference what I am professionally. In our house we refer to the first lady as “Jilly.” ‘nuf said. Thanks.
And don’t hesitate to allow others to refer to you as doctor in your practice as a Clinical Psychologist. Deepest respect. I regularly rely on Clinical Psychologists to assist me with clinical decision-making for mental health history cases. I couldn’t do my job without your colleagues. Best regards.

Sorry for the redundant comments. I had a little trouble with the comments edit block.
I’ve known quite a few folk, who worked to get their PHD’s. ONLY THREE ACTUALLY request folks call them doctors. AND THEY ARE DOCTORS (two were former mil doctors, the other was a transplant doc). EVEN SOME OF THE OTHER actual docs, don’t expect you to CALL THEM DOCTORS when NOT in the hospital.
If complementarity. On a eagle trip. , ” CALL ME ” DOCTOR, ” MAN!!
Laura Bush was also a teacher but no one called her Doctor!!!!
A story told to me many years ago:
A young MD insisted that the business manager of the hospital address him as “Doctor” not by his first name. The business manager, who had earned an MBA, responded by offering to always call the MD “Doctor” as long as the MD always called him “Master.”
🙂
William Shackspeare Addressed this issue when he said, What’s in a name, A Rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. “
Well yes, according to old Joe, she was indeed screaming of insecurity and a sense of entitlement because she resented being plain “Mrs. Biden” when old Joe was “Senator Biden”.
So she made the difficult decision to attend school in a wing of the building that just happened to be named after Senator Joe Biden. She must have had to work extra hard to overcome the talk about the entitlements she received just because she carried his name.
Jill can’t hold a candle to Melana.
If there was ever a First Lady that deserved the title Goddess it is definitely Melania Trump.
Goddess?
If I hadn’t read the above article, I’d swear Jim Acosta was the one who coined it.
“… It’s hard to imagine Joe doing this without her.” I agree with that one. He definitely can’t function without help. But think about what kind of person Jill Biden really is. Joe is definitely in mental decline. Do you know any wife who truly loves their husband that would not of stopped them from running for any office, let alone President? Her allowing it says volumes about her and none of it is flattering.
IT shows just how demonic she is.
Great comment, sjm, I fully agree – I felt that way when the primaries started and that pathetic excuse for a human being called out that girl in Iowa (I think) as a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” which indicated to me he was expressing arrogant senility. Why would anyone let that guy loose on the national stage pretending to be presential material??
If Jill is a “goddess”, just what is she a “goddess” of? Surely the left could come up with something, other than groveling, kneeling, bowing, or bubbling at every move or comment she makes. What is it with democrat First Ladies, (Hillary, Moochele, and Jill), as of late that “makes” them so endearing? Are they really that fantastic?
What is it?? Who knows. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO know when exactly the leftist media hacks, became THIS ENARMORED BY ANY Democrat first female.
Goddess?? of the godless party. Looks like idol worship by the idle class. Fauci is finally correct about something. Two masks would help. Even Hillary was only treated by Vogue as a saint.
It is hard-wired into the human soul to worship.
Some trust and worship the true Lord and Master and Creator of the universe. These people will enjoy eternity in the New Jerusalem.
Some deny God and worship nature &/or some “hero” (sports star or political person) &/or a useless theory &/or a “religious leader.” All of these artificial gods only further blind people as they travel the path that ends in destruction in the Lake of Fire.
A Goddess??? BS! She is just an OLD peroxide blond scheming and abetting her husband’s scam on the American public! He is a FAKE president, she is pushing her demented hubby into the limelight where he is daily proven to be a complete fool!
Democrats pretend everyone’s a Democrat. Vogue pushed Jill Biden on the cover as a “First Lady for All of Us.” To be PC the last word needs to be changed to read Ur S.
Read the book “Anti-Mary Exposed” and you’ll see where the ‘goddess’ idea comes from and how it has been playing out and destroying women and families for years. It isn’t from God that is for sure.
