Biden Doubles Down On Student Loan Cancellation Despite Federal Ruling

The Biden administration doubled down on its move to cancel student debt for millions of borrowers after a federal judge nixed the controversial program.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in the Northern District of Texas declared the debt cancellation plan illegal on Thursday evening in response to a lawsuit filed by the Job Creators Network Foundation’s Legal Action Fund. The student loan cancellation plan would eliminate $10,000 in debt for borrowers earning under $125,000 per year and $20,000 for students who attended college using Pell Grants.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that an appeal has already been filed. “The President and this administration are determined to help working and middle-class Americans get back on their feet, while our opponents — backed by extreme Republican special interests — sued to block millions of Americans from getting much-needed relief,” she remarked. “We will never stop fighting for hardworking Americans most in need — no matter how many roadblocks our opponents and special interests try to put in our way.”

Boston has agreed to pay $2.1 million in legal fees and other expenses after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the city for refusing to allow a Christian flag to fly outside City Hall.

‘Arrogance At Its Finest’: Biden Boasts He’ll Change Nothing About What He’s Doing

On Wednesday, after most of the results had been tabulated from Election Day, President Biden declared that he would do nothing differently, despite voters being disenchanted with the direction of the country.

Earlier in his press conference, Biden had stated that “the voters were also clear that they’re still frustrated. I get it. I understand it’s been a really tough few years in this country for so many people.”

But then a reporter, noting Biden’s comment that voters were frustrated and polls showing 75% of voters believing the country is heading in the wrong direction, asked Biden, “What in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people’s opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for President in 2024?”

“Nothing, because they’re just finding out what we’re doing,” Biden replied, asserting, “The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is.”

Orthodox Jew: Red Heifer Miracle Sparks Talk of ‘Rebuilding of The Temple’

American Airlines flight 146 touched down at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport on time, arriving from New York’s JFK airport as one of the dozens of flights that arrive in Israel from the US daily. While a regularly scheduled flight, among the passengers there were five whose arrival in Israel made it one of the most celebrated and certainly unique flights in Israeli history.

What was special about the flight is that it had five unique passengers, traveling in the cargo section. It was the first time in nearly 2,000 years that Israel has been blessed with the presence of not just one red heifer, but five, all arriving together. People who read their Bibles know that red heifers are mentioned in Numbers 19, but their significance has been shrouded for nearly 2,000 years since the destruction of the Second Temple.

Top Hedge Fund Firm: ‘Dishonest’ Officials Set World On Path To ‘Hyperinflation,’ ‘Societal Collapse’ Possible

One of the world’s largest and most influential hedge funds is warning that “dishonest” policymakers have set the world on the path to potentially the worst period of hyperinflation in modern history, which could result in “societal collapse.”

Elliott Management, a Florida-based firm founded by billionaire Paul Singer, said in a letter this week that an extraordinary set of rash policies during the coronavirus pandemic have “made possible a set of outcomes that would be at or beyond the boundaries of the entire post-WWII period.”

“Investors should not assume they have ‘seen everything’” just because they’ve lived through numerous other financial crises, the letter said, according to the Financial Times, the idea that “‘we will not panic because we have seen this before’ does not comport with the current facts.”

As Biden Demonizes Republicans, Obama Warns ‘People Are Going To Get Hurt’ Amid ‘Demonizing’ In Politics

Former President Barack Obama warned on the campaign trail Tuesday that “demonizing” political opponents was going to cause people to “get hurt,” remarks that he made just a day before President Joe Biden demonized Republicans in an address to the nation.

The remarks from Obama come as Democrats have needed him on the campaign trail ahead of next week’s midterm elections due to Biden’s low approval ratings and the general dissatisfaction that many in the country have about how things are going, particularly the economy.

“This increasing habit of demonizing political opponents creates a dangerous climate,” Obama said at a Tuesday rally in Nevada. “Elected officials who do not explicitly reject or participate in over-the-top rhetoric, if that’s what they’re doing instead, if they just ignore or make light of that kind of violence, or if they encourage their supporters to stand outside voting places armed with guns and dressed in tactical gear, if that’s the environment that we create, more people are going to get hurt.”
