Jill Biden, former First Lady and de facto chief handler of the Biden presidency, has found herself a cushy new gig in the D.C. swamp just months after her husband exited the White House in disgrace. Apparently, she’s not quite ready to leave the political spotlight—or the liberal echo chamber.
On Tuesday, the Milken Institute announced it would be launching a new “Women’s Health Network,” with Jill Biden tapped to chair the initiative. According to the group’s press release, the network’s goal is to “collate, elevate, and advance existing and new efforts across the women’s health ecosystem.” Translation: more left-wing buzzwords and bureaucratic duplication with very little measurable impact.
Esther Krofah, the institute’s Executive VP, gushed over Biden’s “leadership” during her White House tenure—whatever that was—and her “steadfast commitment” to women’s health. She then cited persistent “underinvestment” in research affecting women. Apparently, throwing billions at government healthcare programs isn’t enough. Now it’s about “transformative partnerships” and “ecosystem alignment.”
Jill, naturally, was “honored” to accept the role and immediately used her announcement to brag about her time at the White House. “From endometriosis to healthy aging,” she said, “the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research made important investments in research and development.” Of course, if you blinked, you probably missed that “initiative”—like most things during the Biden presidency, it had plenty of marketing and very little substance.
Let’s be clear: Jill Biden’s new post isn’t about advancing science or helping women—it’s about keeping the Biden machine plugged into the globalist think-tank complex. The Milken Institute may claim to be “non-partisan,” but its policy stances say otherwise. It has long endorsed bigger government, green energy subsidies, and a slew of nanny-state initiatives disguised as public health programs.
And while they’re busy polishing their image with celebrity figureheads, it’s worth remembering that the institute’s founder, Michael Milken, was convicted of securities fraud in 1990. He only served 22 months of a 10-year sentence—before being pardoned by President Trump in 2020.
So now we’ve got a convicted Wall Street felon teaming up with the face of one of the most disastrous administrations in modern history to “transform” women’s health.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
It sounds like President Trump screwed up pardoning Michael Milken. I think President Trump has learned a thing or two since his first administration. Trust almost no one in Washington D.C. and get all your help from other parts of the country.
