As Joe declines, Jill Biden rose to a more powerful position of influence

The publication of “Original Sin” has cut deep for Joe Biden, and now all kinds of little goodies are coming out.

That would include something I believed all the time… which is that Jill Biden encouraged Joe to stay in office solely because she was becoming addicted to power.

Wasn’t Joe

Before we get into Jill’s rise to power, another report surfaced that is relevant to this issue.

Recently, an energy watchdog group cited numerous executive orders signed by the autopen that it believes Joe Biden never had knowledge about.

Energy expert Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, explained, “You know, I get so angry when I have these conversations about this because I deal with the people whose livelihoods were destroyed. It takes a lot of effort to not curse and be profane because what they did to the American people is not just criminal, it’s evil.

“It’s genuinely morally reprehensible. The damage that we did, that we continue to do, to the American people, all because we’re ‘worried about Donald Trump.'”

Top Jill Biden aide helped cover up Joe’s decline

Part of Jill Biden’s rise to power seemed to revolve around Anthony Bernal, a top staffer of Jill’s who was dubbed her “work husband” by insiders.

Bernal has been tied to all kinds of scandals inside the White House in terms of how he treated others, which was addressed by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who stated, “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew.

“Anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up, and Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up.”

One of the complaints about Bernal was of creating a hostile work environment, so this would mesh with other reports of Bernal ordering staffers to keep their mouths shut over the decline issue. At some point, someone is going to break the damn on this and the information is just going to spill over the wall.

Jill’s political rise

If you read my reports regularly, you know I often refer to the former First Lady as Mrs. President or President Jill Biden, and I was not just being snarky. I have always believed she was one of the main shot callers, if not THE shot caller.

In “Original Sin,” Tapper and Thompson wrote, "Dr. B was a strong, protective force in the White House. She was also, without question, one of the chief supporters of the president's decision to run for reelection, and one of the chief deniers of his deterioration.”

Whenever Joe would fail, Jill was right there to cover for him, including Joe’s recent interview on “The View,” where Joe started to blank out and Jill, once again, jumped in to save the day.

As the book noted, Jill was more or less running the show and the campaign, with Bernal right by her side the entire time. Needless to say, this did not quite work out the way Jill had planned, especially in terms of the Bidens cashing in on the presidency as others have done in the past. Instead of getting six- and seven-figure speaking engagements, Biden has been relegated to doing media to try to save his legacy, and that is not exactly going very well.
