loan forgiveness plan 5 replies
President Joe Biden got tongue-tied trying to recite the name of a student loan forgiveness website providing information on a new plan to help save borrowers money as payments resume this month.
During an announcement Wednesday on a new Education Department initiative to lower monthly costs to student loan borrowers, Biden couldn't seem to recite the website's URL from the teleprompter.
'No one with an undergraduate loan today or in the future, whether a community college or a four-year college, will have to pay more than 5 percent of their discretionary income to repay these loans,' Biden said during remarks unveiling the new plan.

laws to allow border wall construction

McAllen, Texas—The Biden administration announced they waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration’s first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded in this region during the current fiscal year.
“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border
The desolate results of America's shoplifting epidemic have been laid bare at a CVS in DC where entire shelves have been cleared by gangs of children who attack every day.

Rapper Sexxy Red gushed about former President Donald Trump’s reputation in the black community during an interview on Tuesday.
Podcast host Theo Von asked the “Pound Town” rapper if she thought more people would support Trump in 2024, prompting an enthusiastic response from Sexxy Red, whose real name is Janae Wherry.
“I like Trump! Yeah, they support him in the hood. ‘Cause at first, I don’t think people was f*****’ with him. Like, they thought he was racist, saying little s***, and, you know, against women.

Major Speech To Sell America On More Ukraine Funding 11 replies
President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he will deliver a major speech in an effort to sell Americans on giving more funding to Ukraine, after Congress decided to axe the aid from a temporary spending bill passed Saturday to avoid a government shutdown.
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Capitol Hill asking the president for additional funding, Congress passed a temporary spending bill, which Biden signed, that failed to include the Ukraine aid the administration had recommended. Since then, Biden has been scrambling to assure world leaders aid would continue coming from the United States, as he arranged a Tuesday phone call with 20 world leaders
Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s wife Nadine Menendez allegedly received special treatment after killing a man in a car crash in December 2018, according to The New York Times.
Menendez’s wife allegedly killed a 49-year-old man named Richard Koop while driving her black Mercedes at night, according to the NYT. Officials ruled her not to be culpable in the incident and promptly let her free; there is speculation about whether Menendez tried to interfere on his wife’s behalf. A witness asserted the police officers questioning Menendez’s wife seemed to be aware of who she was and gave her preferential treatment as a result,
Shut It Down – The FBI is beyond repair.
As the 2024 election season heats up the FBI has created a new terrorism category to include Trump supporters.
This is taking place at the same time the Biden regime is targeting President Trump with over 91 indictments on bogus criminal acts in several states.
And it occurs as the demented President screams about MAGA during his public speeches. What’s next – Prison camps?
And for the record, MAGA and infiltrators caused $1.5 million in damages.
The BLM summer of love protests-riots caused nearly $2 billion in damages.

Donald Trump recently made headlines when he said, “Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat frankly in 200 years.”
Democrats and establishment media figures laughed at him.
But he was right.
At a recent summit in South Africa, the BRICS group of nations led by China and Russia declared it will continue to seek ways to work around the dollar.
And if they succeed, this could be the final nail in the coffin of the dollar’s global reserve status, thus forcing America into an economic collapse on par or worse than the Great Depression.
Former President Donald Trump downplayed the idea of becoming speaker of the House on Wednesday while noting “a lot of people have been calling” him about the possibility.
“All I can say is we’ll do whatever’s best for the country and for the Republican Party,” Trump said in the New York State courthouse. “I’ll do whatever it is to help, but my total focus is being president and honestly making America great again — because we are living in a country in decline,” he said. “This is a country that’s failing badly.” Trump added the Republican Party has “great people” who can “do a great job as speaker.”
Former President Donald Trump attacked New York AG Letitia James as an 'incompetent' and called his fraud trial a 'disgrace,' a day after a state Supreme Court judge slapped a partial gag order on him.
Trump also tore into Judge Arthur Engoron, a day after the judge ordered him to take down online attacks on his own clerk.
Trump accused the judge of taking part in 'election interference' who he described as taking orders from national Democrats.
New York City Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over former President Trump's civil fraud trial, has exclusively donated to Democrats, according to a report.
Engoron wields unique authority over Trump's civil fraud case. It is a jury-free bench trial, with Engoron overseeing it and ultimately determining its outcome and penalties. New York Attorney General Letitia James wants a $250 million penalty imposed on Trump's businesses after accusing him of fraudulent practices.
Engoron, meanwhile, has shown support for Democrats with his checkbook in the past.
This just keeps getting better!

As his first act as Acting Speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday.
Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC) was appointed as Acting Speaker after McCarthy was ousted.
McCarthy chose McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore earlier this year and he now has all the powers of a House Speaker. McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office pronto! Pelosi lashed out at McHenry and said his ruthless move to evict her from her hideaway office is “a sharp departure from tradition.”
The best part about this ruthless move by McHenry is that Pelosi isn’t even in Washington DC right now.
Lawmakers have voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from his leadership role, the first time in the history of the House of Representatives that the chamber voted to boot a member from the top job.
Eight Republicans voted with every present Democrat to vacate the speaker's chair. The final vote was 216 to 210 in favor of McCarthy's ouster.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a measure against McCarthy known as a motion to vacate on Monday night, accusing him of breaking promises he made to win the speaker's gavel in January.
COVID Vaccine Mandates Begin in Red State

The implementation of vaccine mandates at one of the largest institutions in the red state of Texas has raised concerns over the diminishing state of health freedom while a law that would provide Texans with vaccine choice remains stalled by lawmakers.
The Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), a medical school and research center in Houston, Texas, announced last week that it will mandate the latest COVID booster shot for its students, faculty, and employees.
“An updated Covid vaccine has been approved by the FDA and is now available," the Sept. 28 statement from the school reads.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Tuesday called on House Republicans to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and defeat his motion to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his post.[Snip]Gingrich added that Gaetz was in violation of a House Republican Conference rule that says a motion to vacate “should only be available with the agreement of the Republican Conference so as to not allow Democrats to choose the Speaker.” Gingrich argues that an agreement made when McCarthy became Speaker to allow any member to advance a motion to vacate did not supersede the conference rules.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) successfully led a coup against now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday. He managed to eke out a “win” by rallying the entire Democrat caucus and eight Republicans to oust him. It’s the first time that has happened in U.S. history. And it’s a total clown show.
Not only does it distract from the already tense budget negotiations, but it makes a laughingstock of the GOP—and the U.S.—and gives Democrats even more leverage to push through their radical policies.
Gaetz got a win, but at what cost? Sure, he’ll raise a lot of campaign money from this—he’s already sending out emails and asking for money on Fox News
The U.S. Postal Service has unveiled a new Forever stamp honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The stamp featuring the trailblazing justice who died Sept. 18, 2020, at the age of 87 while still on the Supreme Court bench was unveiled Monday during a first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., with friends, family and fellow justices in attendance. "Now, a new stamp will honor this outstanding American eminent jurist who gave so much to our country as a scholar, teacher, lawyer, judge and justice," Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said
An at-times annoyed, downcast, and even humorous Kevin McCarthy took to the podium Tuesday evening to hold a nearly hour-long press conference discussing his ouster from the House Speakership position, an effort spearheaded by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
McCarthy lit into his colleague from Florida, indicated that he would not run for the speakership again, said the eight Republicans who voted against were not real conservatives, and even hinted he might resign from office altogether.
Watch: Despite the extreme setback, McCarthy remained optimistic:
'I will not run for speaker again,' McCarthy said in a nearly hour-long press conference that veered from combative to laugh filled.
'I may have lost the vote today.
Conservative author and talk radio host Mark Levin slammed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) over his bid to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), saying McCarthy is “more conservative than” Gaetz.
Gaetz filed a motion to vacate the chair on Monday, marking the first official step in an attempt to remove McCarthy from his speakership.
As Breitbart News reported:
The House must vote within two legislative days on the motion itself or on a separate motion to table or dispense with it.
Gaetz has threatened to bring the motion for weeks if McCarthy brought a stopgap spending bill to the floor that required Democrats to pass, as McCarthy did Saturday after Republican holdouts blocked

Former Vice President Mike Pence slammed House Republicans who led the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) during an event at Georgetown University on Tuesday.
"Let me say that chaos is never America's friend. And it's never a friend of American families that are struggling," Pence said as the news broke. "And I'm deeply disappointed that a handful of Republicans would partner with all the Democrats in the House of Representatives to oust the speaker of the House. But I expect before the week is out, there'll be more votes on who will be elected speaker of the House."
A confidential U.S. strategy document suggests that the Biden administration is more concerned about alleged corruption in Ukraine than first acknowledged.
A 'sensitive but unclassified' version of what is believed to be a possibly long-term U.S. plan for Ukraine outlines various measures the U.S. is taking to assist Kyiv in combatting corruption.
The feat is that growing criticism of corruption could ultimately lead Western allies to withdraw their support for Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion. Zelensky's government has seen its most generous support from the United States, with $75 billion so-far committed -
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was the victim of an armed carjacking Monday night in Washington, D.C., Fox News Digital confirmed.
The longtime Democratic congressman was in the Navy Yard neighborhood when the incident took place at about 9:30 p.m., according to U.S. Capitol Police.

Police are searching for three suspects, described as Black men wearing all black clothing, in connection with the carjacking, MPD said in an alert. Cuellar's stolen vehicle, a white Honda CHR, has since been recovered.
