At first, it was exciting. I never knew when her emails would come. Often, it was late at night, so I’d see them first thing in the morning. She was blonde and vivacious, and she always sounded so excited. She said she was married, her husband was much older and had gone senile, and their son was in some kind of trouble, but she was still full of plans for the future. In a way, I felt sorry for her, especially when her husband was having one of his bad days and couldn’t remember anything or would wander off midsentence. But then, she started to ask for money. Small amounts, sure, but it felt wrong. And then, she wanted to meet.
“Hi Dominic, Jill Biden here. Joe and I would like to meet YOU. So if you’re up for it, all you have to do is this: Pitch in any amount — even $1 — to Joe’s reelection campaign and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to meet us in Washington, D.C.”
I was in too deep. Just another foreign national ensnared in a Biden family venture like so many Chinese and Ukrainian investors. I’d read about Jim Biden’s business dealings, and I’d scorched my retinas watching Hunter Biden hard at work, but I still couldn’t believe my eyes. Dr. Jill wasn’t even trying to hide it. It was right there in print: money down for access to the president of the United States. I read the papers. I knew this was what legal scholars and Democrats used to call a quid pro quo. And you know what? She isn’t even a doctor. Grifters, all of them.
It turned out I wasn’t the only person feeling this way. In Michigan, more than 100,000 Democrats voted for “uncommitted” in the party’s state primary. Call it liar’s remorse. President Joe Biden, who is so committed to retaining power that he will have to be carried out of the White House by the handles, won 81.8% of the vote. That reminded me of something Dr. Jill had said shortly before I blocked her: “Joe is 81, that’s true, but he’s 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day.” In this case, Joe Biden has done the near-impossible. He’s lost his party. He’s lost the country. He’s lost his way offstage so many times that it’s no longer funny to watch, even when someone has dubbed the Curb Your Enthusiasm soundtrack over it.
“Uncommitted,” whose name describes how most people feel about the 2024 elections, will now send two delegates to the Democratic Party convention in Chicago in August. Perhaps more Democratic primary voters will tire of the supplement salesman Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the children’s entertainer Cornel West. Perhaps the Uncommitted of America will commit Joe Biden to a sunset home in Arizona. Either way, I am now looking forward to Chicago in August. And you don’t often hear that.
Only Jill and the other doctors know what Joe Biden is running on, but his 2024 campaign is running on fear. Fear that the rococo Democratic coalition is collapsing. Fear that Michigan, won by only 100,000 votes in 2020, is in play. And, biggest of all, fear of former President Donald Trump, which is the last remaining reason why anyone would vote for the second coming of Joe Biden, a president who has come to nothing the first time around. “Donald Trump is telling the truth about what he intends to do if he takes back the White House,” Joe Biden emailed me on Feb. 15, rather lucidly. “He says he will be a dictator on ‘Day One.’”
The uncommitted Democrats of Michigan are committed to Hamas’s war of destruction against Israel. The other 81.8% lack the commitment to kick these pro-Islamist, anti-Western cranks out of the party. This is what W.B. Yeats meant in The Second Coming when he wrote, “The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ Are full of passionate intensity.” The lovers of Hamas are also fouling the streets where I live, but that’s what you get for living in a college town. Earlier last week, a few dozen of them rallied down the street from my home to heckle Jewish students as they entered a benefit concert at the Sinclair club by the Israeli singer Ishay Ribo.

The concert, organized by Chabad, raised funds for the “healing and rebuilding of Israel.” Naturally, the Sinclair’s staff refused to work, because they want the Islamists to kill more Jews. But the Jews are a cunning race, so the gig went ahead. Ribo performed “Sibat Hasibot,” with a mashup of “Am Yisrael Chai” (“The People of Israel Live.”) You can see footage online of Ribo playing it to young Israeli soldiers as they all wait to go into battle and after most of them have returned.
You can also see footage online of the protesters outside the Sinclair. Queers for Palestine, communists, Islamists, college professors. The usual blue-haired, pasty-faced losers and gender cases, sporting soiled COVID-era facial diapers, high on resentment, SSRIs, and prescription weed, and so low-energy that they’re not even a real death cult. These clowns are holding the Democrats hostage. Joe Biden will have to face them down if he is to have a chance in November. Yeats countered the ravages of time by having slices of monkey and chimpanzee testicles surgically implanted into his own. Perhaps Dr. Jill should solicit donations for that.
