A new era for student loans begins with
garnished wages on the table
Posted By: 4250Luis, 5/4/2025 9:32:46 AM
Starting Monday, student loan borrowers who find themselves in default will face government-backed involuntary collections, signaling a brand new landscape after years of pauses, delays and Biden-era relief efforts. Garnished tax returns, Social Security payments and even wages will all be fair game on May 5 after a five-year pause on severe financial consequences that began during the economic upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trump administration has made clear no additional debt forgiveness will be offered to borrowers as congressional Republicans look to revamp the student loan repayment system.

As President Donald Trump dismantles the deep state, angry Democrats desperately defend their Jan.6, 2021 Capitol riot narrative but beam with pride that they locked up so many Americans.
Mike Romano, a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ) Public Integrity Section, testified last week at a hearing rehashing Jan. 6, saying he is “proud” of the prosecutions he handled, that imprisoned people present at the Capitol.“Thanks to the work of our team, the Justice Department charged more than 1,500 people with crimes and obtained criminal convictions against almost 1,300 people,” Romano said. “We ensured that the rioters would face accountability, no matter how short-lived.
Trump’s plan for Alcatraz is absolute genius

Donald Trump has announced that he’s reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison for the worst of the worst in America. I couldn’t be more delighted, because it’s a wonderful idea at both practical and symbolic levels.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:It’s to be hoped that many of the new residents will be the same Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists that the leftists insist remain on American soil.
The media grimly reported the news, although they hastened to add that it won’t be easy to turn the old site into a modern prison. AP is representative of this approach to reporting:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the number of active-duty four-star generals and admirals in the U.S. military to be cut by at least 20 percent, according to a new memo released Monday.
In the order, dated May 5, Hegseth also directed senior Pentagon leadership to slash the number of general officers in the National Guard by a minimum of 20 percent, and cut the total number of general and flag officers — those with the rank of one star or higher — across the military by 10 percent.In a video posted to social media later on Monday, Hegseth announced that the order, which he referred to as “Less Generals, more GIs,”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday warned critics of President Donald Trump’s controversial tariff plans to “never bet against America” — despite some of the finance world’s heavyweights voicing fears that the trade war has made the US “merely exceptional.”
Bessent gave a full-throated defense of the commander-in-chief’s America First agenda in prepared remarks at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., predicting that Trump’s trade, deregulation and tax policies would unlock a “Golden Age” of economic prosperity.
“‘Never bet against America’ captures a time-tested truth. The US economy is unstoppable,” the Key Square Founder said.
Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler told Breitbart News that the legislation she announced with lawmakers this week would help bring back American “economic independence” and supercharge the return of American industry by boosting SBA loans to small businesses.Administrator Loeffler, Senate Small Business Committee Chair Joni Ernst (R-IA), House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams, and Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) make headlines this week when they announced the Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act,
It’s a dark time in New York’s Fire Island, San Francisco’s Castro Street, LA’s West Hollywood, or any of America’s other gay meccas. That’s because, as the New York Times despairingly reports, the “Trump Administration Slashes Research Into L.G.B.T.Q. Health.” But of course, this isn’t the tragedy the Times implies. That’s because, as even the Times reveals, the LGBTQ+ research that is getting cut is almost entirely about making it possible to engage in dangerous behaviors with fewer consequences.

Gay-porn scandal ensnaring GOP nominee

John Reid splits Virginia Republicans
ahead of key election 10 replies
Virginia Republicans are splintering over GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s call for the party’s lieutenant-governor nominee to step aside — after the hopeful was accused of posting gay porn on Tumblr.
Youngkin asked embattled candidate John Reid, a radio host in the Richmond area, to withdraw as the nominee upon learning of the images of naked men posted on an account using Reid’s Instagram handle last month.
Reid has denied the account is his and refused to step aside — leaving party faithful scrambling to unify about six months out from the state’s bellwether 2025 off-year election.
“That’s not my account,” Reid insisted after the scandal was unearthed by the Richmonder.
The Commanders are turning to the commander-in-chief to make a major announcement on Monday.
President Donald Trump will announce on Monday that the NFL draft is headed to Washington, D.C., in 2027, Axios reported.
The announcement will be made with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Commanders owner Josh Harris on hand at the White House, with the plan being for the three-day event to be held at the National Mall.
Trump had interacted with NFL personnel recently, with the Eagles visiting the White House last week and the president golfing and spending the day with Saquon Barkley before that.
President Trump called on his administration to reopen and expand Alcatraz so authorities could send the “dregs of society” to the notorious California prison more than six decades after it closed.
The commander in chief announced Sunday that he was directing the Bureau of Prisons and other federal agencies to get the massive island facility off the San Francisco bay — which has long been the lore of Hollywood — back up and running again to lock away homegrown, repeat criminals.“For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering,”
CNN’s Scott Jennings detailed Sunday why Republicans need to “come to grips” with their “new reality” of lower propensity voters ahead of key elections in Florida and Wisconsin.
Key special elections for two House seats in Florida and a seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court have Republicans eyeing the chance to gain more ground ahead of the midterm elections. Jennings, on “State of the Union,” highlighted to the panel how Republicans were able to gain new traction among lower propensity voters but must now motivate them to go out and vote despite their past record of not doing so.

The Trump administration has made clear no additional debt forgiveness will be offered to borrowers as congressional Republicans look to revamp the student loan repayment system.
When there is a Republican president, the leftist-dominated White House press corps likes to gang up and try to put him on defense.
The ultimate fantasy is repeating the glory days of Watergate by driving the president from office.
That was certainly the aim in Donald Trump’s first term, where the hunt by Democrats with press passes — and the help of a corrupt FBI — was so intense that they produced a near-daily flood of lurid allegations, with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax being the grand climax.
But Trump 2.0 is turning out to be a far different story, though not because the press has decided to be fair in its coverage.

If you had told me just a few years ago that Michelle Obama would be a presidential candidate, I'd have said she was the most formidable opponent the Democratic Party could put up. Yet, as I sit here in May of 2025, I'm not even sure she'd survive a primary, much less be competitive in a general election.
Things have changed dramatically, and the spiral is continuing for Barack Obama's wife. Her new podcast has not only bombed in the ratings, but she's been using the platform to dish on her husband and call America racist while showing an astonishing amount of entitlement and lack
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel approved plans Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and to stay in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, a move that, if implemented, would vastly expand Israel’s operations there and likely draw fierce international opposition.
Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
The new plan, which the officials said was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza, also calls for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is withholding support for President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., a move that could result in MAGA villain Judge Jeb Boasberg choosing who would fill the role — potentially even former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump, who announced in December 2024 that Ed Martin would serve as Chief of Staff at the Office of Management and Budget, installed Martin as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on January 20, 2025, later formally nominating him to take over long-term.

Fox Business host Charles Payne tore into people taking advantage of the Biden administration’s decisions to defer or forgive student loans Monday, saying it was time to “pay your damn student loans.”
The Department of Education announced it would resume collections on delinquent student loans, ending a pause from the COVID-19 pandemic that the Biden administration sought to continue, The Hill reported. Payne expressed little sympathy for claims that forcing borrowers to repay student loans would cause them financial hardship.

Some cities have canceled or severely downplayed Cinco de Mayo events for fear of ICE raids and deportations.
Speaking with CNN on Monday, Chicago resident Hector Escobar, president of the Casa Puebla and Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce, said that people in his community are “very scared” of gathering in public with some even considering going back to Mexico.
“Our people are very scared,” he said. “Honestly, they’re saying they don’t want to go to work. They have to go to work because they have to feed their families. So, if they both were working, now one person is working.”
A savvy move to provide incentives in any given matter can be very effective. That's a fancy way of saying, "If you offer to pay people, you can generally get them to do what you want."

ATLANTA — The billionaire heir and the former bartender. Many Democrats have been in and out of the spotlight as the party looks for effective counters to President Donald Trump and his second administration. But two disparate figures, Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, have seen their national profiles rise by delivering messages that excite a demoralized and fractured party. The governor, a 60-year-old heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, and the congresswoman, the 35-year-old with working-class roots, both won their first elections in 2018. Both have urged mass resistance and accused their party of

According to the Times:
We regret to inform you that another female cop may have just botched a case, and not just any case, a major one… Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old who’s accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, might walk free, not because he’s innocent, but because a female cop allegedly mishandled the search that led to critical evidence being used against him. According to his lawyers, Mangione’s backpack was illegally searched right after police found him at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Now they’re demanding that everything inside be tossed from the case. And if a judge agrees,
