CHIEF WALKING EAGLE

The name bestowed on Joe Biden by the Navajo Indians in recognition of his promises

Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden was invited to address a gathering of the Navajo Nation Council in Window Rock, Arizona.

Biden first slammed Trump, blaming him for the plight of the Navajos. Then he spoke at length about his plans for increasing the standard of living for all 300,000 Navajo tribe members by providing government grants for a free college education to every Navajo kid who graduated from high school, free health care for all, and replacement of sub-standard housing with new homes.

Biden added that he would pay reparations to each member of the tribe for the land stolen from the Navajos by the white man.

Biden also mentioned that he always supported Native American causes while he was a Senator and Vice President.

The former Vice President was vague about details for the funding of his plans, mumbling something about cancelling tax shelters for corporations and wealthy individuals. But he spoke eloquently about his ideas if he wins the White House in 2020. At the conclusion of his speech, Biden asked the Navajo leaders for their active support of his candidacy.

Before he left the council chamber, Navajo President Jonathan Nez presented Biden with a beautiful plaque on behalf of the Navajo Indians. The plaque was inscribed with Biden’s new Indian name, "Chief Walking Eagle."

A very proud Biden gratefully accepted the plaque and then returned to his home, convinced he had the Navajo vote in his pocket. He showed wife Jill the plaque and told her he was now officially an Indian chief. With a tear in his eye, he said, “Damn it Jill, I only wish Beau could be here to see this.”

NBC News correspondent Gadi Schwartz asked President Nez how the Navajos came to select the new name they had given to Biden.

Nez explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This reminds me of the time Hillary Clinton campaigned at an Indian reservation during her 2016 run for the presidency. Hillary appeared thrilled when the assembled Indians kept yelling “Hoya, hoya, hoya” every time she made a promise.

Hillary made exactly the same promises Joe Biden made to the Navajos. When she finished, the meeting hall literally shook with hoyas.

After her speech, Hillary took a tour of the reservation. As they entered a pasture, the chief said, “Be careful, don’t step in the hoya!”
