BIDEN visits a remote northern reservation. With news crews following him around as they tour the place, President Biden asks the chief if there was anything they need.

"Well," says the chief, "We have three very important needs:

First, we have a medical clinic but no doctor to man it."

Biden whips out his phone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days. Now what is the second problem?"

"We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for thousands of years. We've been forced to fly bottled water in, and it is terribly expensive."

Once again, Biden dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people. Now what is the third problem?"

The chief looks him in the eye and says, "We have no cellphone reception here."
