Macron arrives at the White House for first state visit of the Biden administration

US President Joe Biden is taking part in a flurry of events as part of his first state visit since taking office, welcoming the arrival of French President Emmanuel Macron and his spouse, Brigitte Macron, on Thursday.

The Macrons’ trip to the White House marks their second time as the guests of honor for a state visit, having first done so during Donald Trump’s administration in 2018. Thursday’s agenda is filled with formal fanfare, with a list of events expect to highlight the strength of the critical relationship between the US and its oldest ally.

The Macrons arrived at the White House for a formal arrival ceremony on Thursday morning.  ...

The Macrons return for another state visit also follows a dramatic bounce-back in US-French relations compared to just a year ago, when Macron took the extraordinary step of recalling his ambassador to Washington over a US-Australia submarine deal that blindsided the French and cost them a multi-billion dollar defense contract. The riff appears to largely be behind them, and Biden and Macron have deepened their ties even more over the last year in their united efforts to combat Russia’s war on Ukraine.  ...

Pretty nice of Macron to take his mother and grandparents out for dinner.

Well, it could have been worse.  He could have confuse him with Marquis de Sade.

'BIDEN: "I have no immediate plans to contact Mr. Putin. [...] I'm prepared if he's willing to talk, to find out what he's willing to do, but I'll only do it in consultation with my NATO allies. I'm not going to do it on my own."  (Video)

Ooh la la! Biden's first state dinner brings out glamour and guests galore
Politico, Dec 1, 2022



Early arriving guests included late-night TV host — and Batiste’s former boss — Stephen Colbert and “Veep” actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who was asked by reporters as she was walked by whether she had ever attended a state dinner before. (She had!)

Others on the guest list included journalists Robin Roberts, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough; and lawmakers such as House minority leader Kevin McCarthy and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It also included celebrity power couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen; Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour; actress Jennifer Garner and her daughter, Violet Affleck; Academy-Award winner Ariana DeBose; and director Bazmark Luhrmann.

Two of the president’s children, Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, as well as his sister, Valerie Biden, were expected to attend.

I have to admit I do like Jill's dress.  As for Brigitte's dress....not so much. As for Jill and Brigitte playing kissy face ... Mama Jill may have had a few too many glasses of wine.

I should say. Shameful really while so many Americans are struggling to put food on their tables.

Jill looked pretty good. Better hairdo than usual. That the slimeball Hunter is included in these official functions is repulsive.

Those are two women who desperately need to tone down the black eyeliner. Not a good look on aged blondes.
