Interesting observations. I'm not a Jill Biden watcher, much less interested in her fashion but I understand symbolism is very important to these people. From her prior history as 2nd Lady (always the bridesmaid...), I wouldn't see it a "cry for help" at all. Her ego was damaged playing second fiddle to Micheal, I mean, Michelle, for 8 yrs, that she's willingly propping up her dementia ridden husband, committing elder abuse, to proudly wear that title of "First Lady". I think any stiffening in body language you see is probably fear that the POTATUS will start lying about his past, read the punctuation on the teleprompter, start blindly walking off the stage, trying to shake hands with ghosts or most likely that he'd go off script and say something truly racist about black people celebrating Kwanzaa. But, that's just me.😊

BTW, holiday week known as KWANZAA has a very interesting root of origin.

From the "History" section of Wikipedia:

American Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 during the aftermath of the Watts riots[3] as a specifically African-American holiday.[4] Karenga said his goal was to "give blacks an alternative to the existing holiday of Christmas and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society."[5] For Karenga, a major figure in the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the creation of such holidays also underscored the essential premise that "you must have a cultural revolution before the violent revolution. The cultural revolution gives identity, purpose, and direction."[6]

Thanks Concerned Grammy, esp Kwanzaa info.

It was Melania Trump, as we know, who made political statements with fashion. Jill B became noticeable by some interesting outfits. Given that the previous FLOTUS made statements and used fashion as language, would this current FLOTUS note and follow suit? (pun intended).

If, as has been suggested by some bloggers/alt journalists, there is structure of weak leaders controlled by one, or several globalists, and a method of control over these groomed leaders is luxury and lure of power, but also in some (many?) cases, blackmail on various levels, could there not be a moment for some where they wearied of the process, the lifestyle, had had a change of heart, and/or were consumed by fear - that they would want out - and, yet, could not get out? All the power and fame are not worth the constant stress - and fear. Much like the Mafia. Some may enter with full knowledge and glee, yet may reach a point where they want out - but there is no route available.

I don't think we can discard this possibility, for, in fact, the belts were weird (see [potentially] John 21:18 NAB)?? And she constantly must be a part of Joe's ongoing public personna. All the money and power and yet you have to live this???

Anything is possible in their world, I guess. I can see her striving to be admired like Melania was, but wanting it strictly "her" way. Didn't Melania fashion herself after Jackie O in many respects? I guess, I'll have to go search for those "belt" clips now.

With their (Joe and Jill) 50+ yr immersion in DC politics, I'm sure there's quite a bit "of goods" to be had on them both. I believe she must have an enormous amount of help with Joe's hour to hour management, so the public appearances are just a small part of the picture of her "taking care of Joe".

We can pray that God opens their eyes to His truth (Matthew 16:26) but we have to consider the opposite, too (Romans 1:28). I base the second instance primarily on their fierce defense of abortion "rights".
