The Biden administration announced Friday it would automatically forgive $39 billion in student debt for 804,000 borrowers. This comes just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down the attempt by the White House to buy votes with their previous plan to cancel debt.
These borrowers entered into a contract to receive money and to make repayments of said money. Their debt should not be transferred to the general public. Why should someone who paid off their student loan have to pay off the debt of someone else?
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, “The decision of the American president to send cluster bombs to the Ukrainian Nazis will make him complicit in the mining of the territory and he will fully share responsibility for the victims of the explosions, including Russian and Ukrainian children.
“On the other hand it seems to me that crimes against children have always been the favorite business of the Biden family.”
Ouch! That has to hurt.
And the Left said over and over that Trump made America the laughingstock of the world.
Has grifting come to the Supreme Court? AP reported, “For colleges and libraries seeking a boldfaced name for a guest lecturer, few come bigger than Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court justice who rose from poverty in the Bronx to the nation’s highest court.
“She has benefited, too — from schools’ purchases of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of the books she has written over the years.
“Sotomayor’s staff has often prodded public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books, works that have earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009.”
I guess you can take the grifter off the streets but you can’t take the habit of grifting away.
Daniel Greenfield reported, “When Judge Terry Doughty issued an injunction in Missouri v. Biden that banned the government from ‘specifically flagging content or posts on social-media platforms and/or forwarding such to social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for removal, deletion, suppression,’ all hell broke loose.
“Evelyn Douek, a Stanford law professor, formerly of the Knight First Amendment Institute, warned that preventing the government from colluding with corporations to censor citizens would have a ‘chilling effect on communication between the government and platforms.’”
I should hope so. The government is not supposed to be censoring speech at all. If the government does not like what is being said, they have the right to present their own case. The Biden administration disagrees saying that they have to have the right to censor speech “in an emergency.”
I’m sorry but I cannot find that exception in the Constitution.
The problem for the government today is few people trust what any government spokesperson has to say.
Real medicine. Doctors have reconnected a 12-year-old boy’s skull to his body after he suffered “internal decapitation” in a freak car accident.
Docs in Jerusalem, Israel, say they performed the “extremely rare” operation on Suleiman Hassan after a car knocked him off his bike.
His skull broke off the top vertebrae in his spine in the hit in June, effectively separating his head from his body with just skin and muscles keeping it in place.
Suleiman’s surgery was a success and he was sent home with a neck brace and is being monitored by doctors.
Dr Einav said it is impressive that he is “functionally normally” already and does not appear to have any lasting nerve damage.
The boy is Palestinian. The docs are Israeli. This is real inclusivity.
