The Supreme Court of the United States cited former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the decision on Friday to strike down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan. "As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explained: 'People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,'" Roberts wrote. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Biden administration does not have the authority to unilaterally cancel hundreds of billions in student loan debt.

In the request, Wood acknowledged that after relinquishing his license, he is “prohibited from practicing law in this State and in any other state or jurisdiction and that I may not reapply for admission."

Conservative talk radio host and former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino said the mystery of who sneaked cocaine into the White House is hardly a whodunnit. (snip) “There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex,” Bongino said Wednesday. “No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those.” (snip) Bongino, who was an NYPD officer in the late 1990s before beginning a 12-year stint in the Secret Service that ended in 2011, is well-versed in the inner workings of the White House.
The Taliban regime on Monday ordered hundreds of beauty salons across the country to close by the end of July, marking the Islamist regime’s latest offense against the rights and dignity of women in Afghanistan.
The order came via text message from the “Ministry for the Prevention of Vice and Propagation of Virtue,” which said it was acting on a decree from Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.
“The deadline for the closing of beauty parlors for women is one month,” the message said, without elaborating on what would happen to salons that dare to remain open when the deadline passes.

The abortion issue is taking a surprising turn in some states thanks to a number of religious groups arguing that red state restrictions violate their "religious freedom."
Pam Belluck, a health and science writer for The New York Times, emerged among those who brought the topic to the forefront, writing last week that Christian and Jewish groups in several states have filed lawsuits making the allegation that bans and restrictions "infringe on their faiths."
More specifically, the challenges stem from claims that the bans go beyond what these denominations view as reasonable restrictions.
Video footage appears to show UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky telling a class that he discriminates against potential faculty hires to boost racial diversity using what he called “unstated affirmative action.” The Dean tells his audience, “If ever I’m deposed, I’m going to deny I said this to you.”
“What I mean by ‘unstated affirmative action’ is, what if the college or university doesn’t tell anybody, doesn’t make any public statements?” Chemerinsky says at the beginning of the video.
Pope Francis has elevated Argentinian Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández, his longtime friend and ghostwriter, as new chief of the Vatican’s powerful doctrinal office.
Archbishop Fernández, who was Francis’ first episcopal appointment after becoming pope, is know as a theological progressive who penned several important texts for the pontiff, including his 2015 encyclical letter on the environment Laudato Sí and his controversial 2016 apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love).
Fernández has been a staunch supporter of Pope Francis and in 2018 sharply attacked a Vatican whistleblower who criticized Francis for enabling serial homosexual abuser Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin has denied a correlation between homosexuality and clerical sex abuse, calling it a “serious and scientifically untenable association.”
(snip)
Bill Donohue, a sociologist and president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has noted that regardless of his intentions, Cardinal Parolin is factually mistaken. The most extensive study ever undertaken of clerical sex abuse, conducted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, found that a full 81 percent of victims of sexual abuse by priests were males.
The CEO of Bud Light’s parent company still won’t admit putting transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s picture on a can of beer was a mistake, despite an enormous backlash that has cost the brand its perch atop the market.
Brendan Whitworth, a Marine Corps veteran and ex-CIA employee, appeared Wednesday on CBS “This Morning,” where he called the backlash “divisive.” Bars, restaurants, and retail stores have reported the thirst for Bud Light bottomed out in April after Mulvaney released a TikTok video showing the custom can while celebrating 365 days of “being a woman.”
Democratic Rhode Island state Senator Joshua Miller, who police arrested last week for allegedly vandalizing a vehicle with a “Biden Sucks” sticker parked at an outdoor shopping area, reportedly faces additional charges after denying involvement in the incident to police.

Cocaine was found on premises at the White House Sunday evening and the Secret Service is investigating the incident that caused an evacuation of the premises.
A dispatch call reviewed by DailyMail.com reveals the substance was found in the White House library – and a preliminary test found that the white powder tested positive for cocaine.
The discovery came two days after Joe Biden's son Hunter, 52, visited the White House on Friday, which has perked the ears of conservatives who are speculating that the president's addict son is the source of the illegal substance.
Depending on your point of view, the Supreme Court’s Friday decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis was either a great moment in American jurisprudence or a day that will live in infamy. There are accusations floating around the MSM that a piece of evidence referenced by each side was falsified. Alongside that story, there are whispers of attorneys being disbarred over the matter. That didn’t take long, did it? But even before that, leftists were quick to stand up in outrage and state that the ruling gave them the right to refuse service to conservatives, notably Trump supporters.

Last week, Michelle Obama, the politician, issued a formal position statement on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court decision to eliminate affirmative action in higher education. In doing so, Michelle not only revealed her political ambition, which I believe includes the Democratic nomination for president in 2024, but also the likelihood that she herself was an affirmative action student at Princeton University in 1981. (snip) [She] is an obvious beneficiary of racial preferences who feels obliged to deny her privilege and to denounce the very system that bestowed those privileges as racist.

When we first heard the story of a hazmat situation and the White House being evacuated on Sunday, we were told by the media that they’d found cocaine hydrochloride “near the White House.” Then it was described as being on the White House complex. That could be anywhere, including on the grounds. It was also described as “cocaine hydrochloride,” with suggestions it could be an anesthetic.
Then came the report that it was in the White House library, which is on the ground floor of the executive mansion, according to the Washington Post.
But now the Secret Service is contradicting that report about the library. Newsmax reporter James Rosen
Bud Light has been branded 'desperate' after releasing a new advert showing men aggressively 'grunting' The embattled beer giant released a new 15-second spot on Sunday showing Kelce cracking open Bud Light cans and aggressively grunting with several other men. The advert was a clear marketing U-turn after backlash to the company's previous collaboration with trans star Dylan Mulvaney devastated the brand financially. However, the effort has failed to gain traction after it was posted to YouTube, picking up just 2,500 viewers in over 24 hours following its release.

An Obama-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a preliminary injunction against Florida’s election law that imposed limitations on third-party voter registration organizations.
In May Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed SB 7020, a law that barred non-citizens from handling or collecting voter registration forms.
One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is an immigrant from El Salvador who works for “Mi Vecino,” a third party voter registration organization.
US District Judge Mark Walker said the election law banning non-citizens from handling voter registration forms is unconstitutional.
