Biden White House demanded Marine Corps band compose
‘Fanfare for the First Lady’ entrance theme for Jill

In 2022, the Washington Examiner’s Becket Adams reported that the Marine Corps Band was instructed to compose an entrance theme for First Lady Jill Biden. The song, Fanfare for the First Lady, was intended to be a counterpoint to the president’s Hail to the Chief. But of course, the president is the elected commander in chief, and the First Lady is more of an honorary post. Many of those in the Marine Corps Band said they’d never been asked to do an exclusive First Lady entrance theme before. “Someone in the White House apparently ‘had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,’’ a source said. ‘The band had to provide music,’” Adams reported.

At the time, press secretary for the First Lady Michael LaRosa (yes, perk-obsessed Jill has one of those, too), said that the story was not accurate. “The first lady does not have a song anybody has written for her specifically. She has no ‘Hail to the Chief’ song. She has no song. She never asked anyone to create a song.”

“The White House asked nobody, not one person, to compose an exclusive entry song, or any song, for the first lady,” LaRosa added. “None of that is accurate.” Yet, the song exists. LaRosa said the whole thing was the band’s idea and that it wasn’t even written for First Lady Jill specifically, even though it was played just for her and there was a recording made as well so she could have the entrance song even when the band was not around. It was even performed at the White House’s Teacher of the Year event.

After Adams’ story was published, an update was released saying that “The U.S. Marine Band has retired ‘Fanfare for the First Lady’ from its repertoire, the Washington Examiner has learned. The song was removed quietly following the publication of this article, a source said. One source attributed the decision to pull the composition from rotation to ‘negative’ news coverage. We hope the first lady can forgive us for killing her entrance theme.”

Who can forget this image calculatedly posted by drjill, seen sitting at the presidential desk on Air Force One? This is when we found out Jill is a “foreign policy expert” who is making key decisions WRT American families’ safety and security.

A few months after her husband took office, Jill Biden posted this image of herself on social media, sitting at a desk aboard Air Force One, looking very important. A flight jacket with the presidential seal is draped over the back of her chair, to leave you in no doubt about the power behind the throne.

“Prepping for the G7,” she wrote on her @FLOTUS “US Government Official” account, under the photo in which a scholarly “Dr. Jill,” wearing reading glasses, pen in hand, is studying a thick ring binder of notes.

Are these classified notes? Does drjill have security clearance to view these?

As the 72-year-old wife of the oldest president in history, the effrontery of this spousal usurper on her first overseas trip was a portent of liberties to come.

Three years later, as her husband, now 81, grows increasingly befuddled, Dr. Jill is stepping up, doing solo campaign visits and TV appearances, weighing in on politics and polls as if it were she who is running for office.

And now we hear that the first lady has been pressuring her husband on Israel’s war on Hamas with these words: “Stop it. Stop it now, Joe.” At a Ramadan event at the White House last week, Joe Biden reportedly told attendees about “Jill’s sophisticated geopolitical advice.”
