As President Obama used to say of his clownish vice president: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." Which brings us to Joe Biden's student loan debt forgiveness rollout, announced this week. Let's set aside the issue of the legality of the matter. The actual execution of the matter is Joe in Action. According to Axios: The implementation of President Biden's widespread, income-targeted student loan forgiveness is shaping up to be a bureaucratic challenge for the Department of Education. Why it matters: Millions of Americans are in limbo waiting for information on how to take action on student debt relief — the success of which relies largely on an agency juggling

Comments:

Plan? What plan? They have no idea what they are doing. Joe thought the Obamacare rollout was a guidebook, not a warning.

This is a pathetic attempt to trade cash for votes. No one thought this through with any research or even rational thought. They have angered voters in both Parties and unleashed a complete debacle. Let them live with it. The backlash is going to be severe.

As with #1, where are the alleged GOP leaders, from McConnell and McCarthy to the RNC? Shouldn’t they have had a legal document requesting a federal court to issue an injunction to stop this illegal action ready months ago? Or the 21 Red State AGs who have been fighting Biden’s unconstitutional actions for the past 18 months. The silence of the minority party is truly shocking.

I don't have a student loan. Maybe I should apply, knowing I'll be turned down - but I can just gum up the works for an extra hour or so. It'll take a long time to untangle this string of pearls.

The Republicans stood by while the Democrats refused to fund Trump's border wall, using the cost as a concern. There's hardly a peep in objection and certainly no real action in stopping Dung's profligate spending, though, probably because most Republicans are in on the action, and worse than the Dems because they lie about who they are to win their offices.

This latest apparent Biden and far left Democrat fiasco coming at the start of the 2022 political “funny season” run up to the November election smells like a Democrat vote buying scheme aimed at that upcoming election. Chances are the wimpy Republicans will stay silent until after the November election and allow the voters to speak for themselves. Following that, there is little doubt that this Biden and Democrat student loan cancelling scheme will end up in the federal courts with a 50/50 chance that in the end it will come before the Supreme Court, that will rule that Biden did not have the authority to institute such a scheme. Following that, Biden and the Democrats will push the political line all the way to the 2024 election that Biden and the Democrats gave up to $20,000 in student loan relief to college students (the truth be known, some of who took out student loans, but never attended college) but that the wimpy Republicans through the Supreme Court then took all that money back. Right now it looks like the potential student loan relief recipients may be being taken for a Biden and Democrat bogus political ride.

Yes, its a given that “they” clearly did not think this debt forgiveness rollout through (unconstitutionally and illegally aside). “They” are tactically just vote peddling for the midterms. But please STOP the pretense that Joe Biden, the individual, did decide—let alone conceive of—this monstrosity of an idea of student debt forgiveness. The man is cognitively delinquent and he probably can’t even tie his own shoes at this point. No, what we are witnessing is elder abuse by Obama retreads like Rice (if not Barry himself) to push their leftist hobby horses through this moldy sock puppet formerly known as Joe Biden.

The Republicans will do nothing to stop this for a reason. They have elections to look forward to also. Keep the masses aggravated and hostile and they'll vote Republican. If the problem went away too soon, they might not get the votes they are hoping for. Both sides play the voters. Both sides use voters as proper garden tools.

How will this affect the borrowers income tax? Will the $10,000/$20,000 payment be counted as income to the borrower? How about the loan itself? Will it also be counted as income to the borrower? After all, they got money from the loan and now they're getting more money to pay off the loan. Sure sounds like income to me!

This is how the Old Fool always operates. Just sign a piece of paper and all the problems are solved. I bet the loan holders don't have an accounting entry for 'loan forgiveness'. You can't just change the balance by crediting the account.

The one-year anniversary of Joe Biden's disastrous pullout from Afghanistan has come and gone, and Biden himself is expecting that you've got better things to do, same as he does, so nobody the wiser. (Snip) When a suicide bomber blew up a gate at Kabul airport on August 26, 2021, taking down 13 U.S. service members, along with 200 others, that was the ultimate sacrifice well in need of a memorial from the commander-in-chief on whose watch it occurred. At a minimum, they could be honored and remembered on the one-year anniversary of their deaths, right? Not by Joe Biden. Joe had better things to do, and it wasn't just looking at his watch.

According to the Washington Post: Two weeks after taking office, the country's first leftist government is proposing an end to "prohibition" and the start of a government-regulated cocaine market. Through legislation and alliances with other leftist governments in the region, officials in this South American nation hope to turn their country into a laboratory for drug decriminalization.

Border walls, who needs border walls? Apparently, only Joe Biden does, the rest of us can go without. According to a furious editorial by the New York Post: President Joe Biden is all for open borders — except when it comes to the one around his own vacation spot. He’s stuck taxpayers with a bill for close to half a million for a security fence around his Delaware beach house, a project ongoing since last September, contracted out to a local builder by the Department of Homeland Security.

On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture. These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal.

They've even expropriated from the title of Robert Graves's most famous book, I, Claudius. Instead of being the Maid of Orleans, the Liberator of France, and a great symbol of feminine chastity, beauty, innocence and courage, she's now some creature whose bravery consists of contemplating her genitals and displaying her wokeness in the trendy new definition of heroism.

At least 19 vehicles, including both privately-owned and public transport, were ignited in different cities in the state of Baja California, according to local authorities, and in some cases blocked the roadways. Similar vehicle fires were used earlier in the week in the states of Jalisco and Guanajuato to send a cartel message to the Mexican government after the detention of several cartel members in an operation by the Mexican military. It is not clear whether the acts of violence in Tijuana are related.

Jill Biden, who works part-time as a college lecturer, also urged her husband to reconsider. She campaigned on free community college, but did not push for the cancellation of debt.

After nearly two years of talking about it, Joe Biden finally rolled out his student-loan forgiveness plan … and apparently nothing else. According to Axios, the White House didn’t bother to gather the data on eligibility, didn’t create a system which would check it, and has no system yet in place to fully complete the process. Did Biden drop the ball again — or did he never expect to be allowed to run with it in the first place? The agency doesn’t have income data for most of the 43 million Americans eligible for forgiveness, meaning around 35 million people — including Pell Grant recipients — will have to attest

The exposition of the FBI’s behavior in the month of August has been something to behold. More recently, we learned that the FBI went to Facebook during the 2020 election and indicated that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. In reality, the bureau had known since 2019 that the story was real because they themselves were in possession of the laptop. Prior to that, the big story has been the raid of Donald Trump’s Florida home, which has led to numerous court clashes as the government has sought to keep the details secret. On Friday, the affidavit was released, much to the chagrin of the powers that be. What it revealed

Friday’s unsealing of the affidavit tied to the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate has raised more questions than answers. West Palm Beach US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt had ordered the Justice Department earlier in the week to prepare a redacted version of the document in which authorities laid out their reasons for the controversial Aug. 8 search-and-seizure operation at Mar-a-Lago. Friday’s unsealing came amid what Reinhardt called “intense public and historical interest” into the raid. The feds have described their probe as centering on the alleged mishandling of classified information, theft of government records and obstruction of justice.
