The news that Jill Biden has decided to retire should be met with a hearty chuckle or two, especially considering she’s been more of a shadow president than a First Lady. It seems she’s now cashing in her chips after a tenure marked more by absence than presence. Speculation abounds. Was she already exiting stage left when her husband seemingly required her approval just to hold a cabinet meeting? Or perhaps he’s been coaching her on how to manage without him while still trying to keep up appearances? Either way, she’s finally hanging up her hat—and it wasn’t a moment too soon.
In her virtual farewell, Jill gushed about the privilege of being the First Lady, expressing that serving as a colleague was where she truly found her calling. She even mentioned teaching her last class—ever. But, one must wonder if “teaching” at a community college was ever more than a photo-op for this couple. With their track record, many are left pondering whether this is really a retirement or just a pit stop before diving headfirst into whatever gig will keep the cash flowing. After all, being a part of the teachers’ unions’ vanity project is a sweet gig, as they often lend a helping hand to Democrats through the election cycle.

Interestingly, her retirement announcement came with some familiar faces in attendance, primarily union leaders more invested in political agendas than in actual education. This begs the question: Was taking a bow at such an event really a farewell or just another opportunity to pat each other on the back for supporting their parties? Given her years of using the classroom as a platform for progressive ideologies, it’s not surprising that the unions and Jill may have a few more plans up their sleeves.
One can’t help but take a moment to recognize how this past term provided Jill the chance to reinvent herself as a beacon of virtue while basking in her husband’s administration. She skillfully painted a picture of a family who needed two homes, a beach house, and a public persona layered in smiles—while her husband’s frailties were more visible to the public than ever. Her ability to introduce an air of normalcy around a deeply troubled family might just be her greatest act yet. Who knew teaching English could mean steering the family narrative?

As they retire to their well-appointed residences—one being a beach house they allegedly bought with cash just shortly after Hunter Biden’s latest escapade—one has to wonder what lies ahead for the Bidens. Will they fade into the obscurity of retirement or continue seeking the limelight, all while circumventing the serious crises swirling around them, including Joe’s seemingly declining mental capabilities? It seems this couple is more adept at navigating scandals than most in Washington.
With an eye on the future, many are left considering what retirement truly means for the Bidens. With plenty of time to spend with the grandkids and possibly raking in some cash with paid speeches about the joys of teaching (perhaps with their usual dollop of left-leaning rhetoric), it’s likely they won’t be out of the public eye for long. Will the forthcoming press pieces glorify their “ordinary” life, or will they delve into the complexities of crashing boatloads of conflicts? Only time will tell, but it seems the Bidens will continue to weave their way through public life, leaving many to wonder what’s next for the dynamic duo.
