The Biden administration has quietly announced a change in their student debt forgiveness program that could exclude four million borrowers who have loans owned or backed by private companies The u-turn by the federal government comes after the first legal challenges were filed and following criticism of the huge costs to taxpayers and claims the plan is an illegal use of his executive power. The Education Department announced Thursday that privately-held federal loans won't qualify for the relief plan, which the Congressional Budget Office said earlier this week could cost $400billion over a decade.

If only we had Republican sharks who could detect blood in the water. Unfortunately, all we have are friendly reach-across-the-aisles dolphins named Flipper. I fully expect Miss Linsey and the Turtle to come to Bidens rescue.

Didn’t work, did it? Just hacked off the people who paid for their education. I never went to college. My folks just didn’t have the money but I put four children through. I guess I will be getting a rebate check anytime..waiting..waiting. Actually it was an honor to get them through. Degrees were important at that time (30 years ago). It was worth it then but any degree other than stem is worthless now. Might as well save the paper in case there is another toilet paper shortage.

LOL. Biden or rather his sophomoric staff, took a wrong turn. I suspect, and I hope I'm wrong, these are the best and the brightest running his administration... Harvard, Princeton (please please read Princeton graduate Michelle Obama's thesis to prove how shtupid these people are)... and why we are where we are. The reason they are arresting us is because they know their time is about out... They are ready for war and so should we be.

This was a pretty fast cave in by Biden and his crew, that is reminiscent of the infamous Biden bug out in Afghanistan. Today in Biden long read off his hidden teleprompter at FEMA Headquarters I thought I heard Biden announce that he is going to give the owners of motor vehicles that were damaged and destroyed in the Florida hurricane, who did not have their motor vehicles insured, a reimbursement of up to $37,900.00 each to replace their automobiles. Apparently people can file claims for those reimbursements almost immediately. Obviously those quick FEMA payouts, the Democrats believe will result in them picking up a lot of Florida votes in the upcoming election. No doubt a lot of those quick payouts will end up with the money ending up in places like Nigeria through massive fraud that always happens with quick government payouts.

which begs the question: why aren't all of his EO's, etc, being litigated and questioned in "friendly" courts? = people know he's overstepping his limits but they would rather sit back on their dead derrieres than speak up and do something about it, so ... who, actually, is at fault for the miscarriages and misdeeds of a totally illegitimate administration, diapers, et al or the people who could actually do something about these issues but don't?

Joe Biden’s cognitive deficits are increasingly apparent, even to the most amateur observer. Whether he has dementia at this point is immaterial. Half the world thinks he does and that weakens the United States and imperils us all. Whether he is falling up the stairs of Air Force One or falling off a stationary bike, whether he is wandering around on stage in a fog or clutching cheat sheets designed for a 4-year-old, whether he is shouting incoherently or whispering creepily, the optics are shocking. With his 80th birthday approaching next month,

A huge freight train moving specialist military equipment associated with a nuclear-arms wielding division of Russia's Defence Ministry has been spotted on the move, prompting fears of an escalation in Putin's war. A series of BPM-97 armoured personnel carriers (APCs) and other military vehicles were seen travelling through central Russia in a clip posted on the Telegram messaging app by pro-Russian channel Rybar on Sunday. The APCs are thought to have been upgraded with more capable turrets, reinforced ambush and mine-proof armour and an air purification system designed to allow its occupants to operate effectively in the face of sustained infantry attacks.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is still led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, issued a $3.3 million grant to a research organization run by Fauci's close friend. The new study will investigate bats and other coronaviruses in the wild and will run until August 2027. The organization conducting the study, EcoHealth Alliance, is run by Peter Daszak, who is known to be close to Fauci. In the summer of 2021, emails between Fauci and Daszak leaked. In one, Daszak appeared to express gratitude to Fauci for downplaying the theory that Covid-19 was created in a lab in Wuhan, China.

For months now, former President Trump has hinted at a potential White House run in 2024, and for months Americans have held their breath waiting for the announcement. In an interview with CBS News, Kellyanne Conway, who managed Trump’s 2016 campaign, said that the former president may make his announcement before Thanksgiving. Trump will “assess the timing of his announcement,” Conway said, adding, “I think before the end of this year.” Conway said that Trump is as “active as anybody” else in the midterm elections, already building support from Americans by rallying in several states throughout the country.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law Friday that will decriminalize jaywalking across California, ending the familiar practice of police handing out tickets to pedestrians on the argument that the law is enforced more often against minorities than other people. The new law, AB 2147, known as the “Freedom to Walk Act,” could bring an end to a cultural difference that has marked otherwise libertine Californians as being uniquely deferential to laws governing pedestrian traffic. The difference between Californians, who ostensibly tend to obey “don’t walk” signals, and urban dwellers elsewhere in the country, who are notoriously defiant when it comes to crossing against traffic signals, was lampooned

There’s always some mystery in the news that provides a blank page for fantasy thinking. This week’s mystery has initiated a storm of speculation: What happened to cause leaks in Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and 2, designed to send gas to Germany? The speculation runs from rational to delusional. A good example of more rational speculation is by Jed Babbin at the Spectator: He thinks Russia is the most likely suspect: Germany, Sweden, the United States, and other NATO nations would not have attacked the pipelines. There has been some speculation among U.S. conservatives that we were responsible for the pipeline attacks.

Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday responded with reluctant criticism of former President Donald Trump‘s verbal jab at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao. Mr. Trump on Friday lambasted Mr. McConnell as having a “DEATH WISH” for helping pass a stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown and mocked Ms. Chao, who had served as his Transportation secretary. “Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!” Mr. Trump posted on his social media site Truth Social. Mr. Scott of Florida, chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, initially dodged a question about whether such rhetoric was appropriate before he condemned it.

WASHINGTON — Republicans are abandoning their long crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act, making the 2022 election the first in more than a decade that won’t be fought over whether to protect or undo President Barack Obama’s signature achievement. The diminished appetite for repeal means the law — which has extended health care coverage to millions of people and survived numerous near-death experiences in Congress and the courts — now appears safer than ever. With slightly more than a month before the next election, Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail aren’t making an issue of Obamacare.

Habeck spoke on Friday, appealing to Germans to reduce their consumption of natural gas ahead of this winter a day after the German government launched a new price break programme to help Germans with the rising costs of energy. The new price break policy will cover 80 per cent of regular consumption in a bid to try and get Germans to use less gas and make the scenario of shortages less likely.

This is the tale of two laptops, one tale definitely damaging to the Democrats, one potentially so. What they have in common is that the FBI did its damnedest to bury both. For all the hubbub about the Hunter Biden laptop, there has been little talk about the laptop owned by DNC data analyst Seth Rich. In the way of brief summary, the 27-year-old Rich was beaten and then shot by unknown assailants on a Washington, D.C. street in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016. His attackers appear to have taken nothing—not his wallet, not his phone, not his watch.
