Joe called

Joe Biden has asked Jill to hold off on her divorce filing until after the election. But she’s had it, and she may proceed as soon as next month.

When this all blows up it will be kind of ironic. There was a certain sensitive project that Joe didn’t want to have assigned to any staff member. Leaks would have been devastating. So he assigned the project to Jill. He’ll soon regret it.

The project was to search out all articles like this one:

It originally ended with the sentence: “Vote for Green Party candidates.” The task assigned to Jill was to ferret out such articles and contact the publishing editors to have lines like that removed.

But as a result of exposure to dozens and dozens of such articles Jill became a Green Party partisan. Not only did she refuse to have positive references to the Greens removed from the media, she woke up to realities and suppressions she had not previously been aware of.

As the editor of Green Horizon Magazine I had been expecting a call from Jill Biden. Imagine my surprise when the tremulous and timorous voice on the other end of the phone line was Joe’s.
