[Daily Wire] As President Joe Biden reportedly nears a plan to cancel $10,000 in student loans per borrower, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) President Derrick Johnson argued Friday that the amount would not be enough — particularly for black borrowers.
After months of pressure from progressive Democrats, the White House is nearing a plan to scrap $10,000 per borrower earning up to $150,000 per year, according to a report from The Washington Post. Johnson argued that such a solution would be "pouring a bucket of ice water on a forest fire."
"Black Americans are the only people who have student debt higher than their median annual income," he said. "$10,000 in cancelation would not place their student debt lower than their annual income."
Johnson also pointed toward wealth disparities between black and white households.

Did Johnson also point out how many black people don't seem to want to work? Just might be the cause of the disarity in the wealth between white/black households.

...I think a lot of whites found out during the lockdown when they too got 'free stuff' for not working that its a nice gig to get. IIRC, the states that continued the 'free stuff' have problems with filling jobs in the commercial marketplace they were trying to get going again.

I remember Grand Cyclops Bob Byrd getting mildly remonstrated by the press for saying there were lots of "white n-words" in his state. Of course, he actually said the n-word.

May have been a racist statement but it's a true one. I know plenty of them myself.

^^ I had been wondering how on earth he got this power. As far as I know, the program was enacted by Congress. Don't they have to be the ones to modify it? Separation of powers? Checks and balances?
Or is that all now ancient history?

Since the days of Bath House Barry's phone and pen, they just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Why let that silly old Constitution get in the way?

If Biden can do this then why can’t a future President authorize $10000 for every adult to purchase a weapon?
#16
All the republicans would have to do then is add a line to the tax code. "Did you receive up to 10,000 to pay back student loans? If yes, put the amount on line #, add to taxes owed." Democrats LOVE taxes so won't try to block it.

I wouldn't mind this - IF they took the funding out of collage and university endowments.
But you know they won't. They will just print more money and payoff or it in Inflation.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors say antisemitism motivated white supremacist’s attack on Congress; told coworker he wanted to ’kill all the Jews’.
A former US Army reservist described by prosecutors as a Nazi sympathizer was convicted Friday of storming the US Capitol to obstruct Congress from certifying President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. On the other hand, he did abandon Afghanistan... ’s 2020 electoral victory.
Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, who worked a security contractor at a Navy base when he joined the pro-Trump mob on January 6, was also convicted of disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors.
Hale-Cussanelli took the stand in his defense and claimed he didn’t know that Congress met at the Capitol building.
"I know this sounds idiotic, but I’m from New Jersey," Hale-Cusanelli said, according to WUSA-TV. "In all my studies, I didn’t know there was an actual building that was called the ’Capitol.’ It’s embarrassing and idiotic."
Hale-Cusanelli’s trial was the fifth before a jury and the seventh overall for a Capitol riot case. The first four juries unanimously convicted the riot defendants of all charges. Roughly 300 others have pleaded guilty to crimes stemming from the riot, including seditious conspiracy and assault.
Prosecutors said Hale-Cusanelli openly espoused white supremacist and antisemitic ideology and wore an Adolf Hitler ...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like... -style mustache to work. On his cellphone, Sherlocks found photos of him with the distinctive mustache and combed-over hairstyle associated with the Nazi leader.
Hale-Cusanelli had a "secret" security clearance for his job as a security contractor at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey. He also lived on the base with a roommate who reported him to the Naval Criminal Investigation Service and secretly recorded a conversion about the Capitol riot.
During the trial’s opening statements Tuesday, a Justice Department prosecutor said Hale-Cusanelli stormed the Capitol because he wanted to kick off a civil war and create "a clean slate."
Defense attorney Jonathan Crisp told jurors that "groupthink" and a desperate desire "to be heard" drove Hale-Cusanelli to follow a mob into the Capitol. Crisp described Hale-Cusanelli as a bombastic agitator prone to making "extreme statements to get attention."
In pretrial court filings, prosecutors framed Hale-Cusanelli’s bigoted, antisemitic views as motivating factors for his participation in the January 6 riot and his desire for a civil war.
One Navy seaman said Hale-Cusanelli told him "he would kill all the Jews and eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and he wouldn’t need to season them because the salt from their tears would make it flavorful enough," according to prosecutors.
Other coworkers recalled Hale-Cusanelli making derogatory remarks about women, Black people and other minorities, prosecutors said.
Before the trial, Crisp argued that any testimony about Hale-Cusanelli’s alleged statements about Jewish people and their role in the US government would be "highly prejudicial in nature without substantive value."
Crisp acknowledged Hale-Cusanelli shouldn’t have entered the Capitol building.
"But the question of why he was there is what is important," he told jurors Tuesday.
Hale-Cusanelli wasn’t charged with engaging in any violence or property destruction. He was indicted on five counts: obstruction of an official proceeding, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or destructive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
The obstruction charge is a felony. The rest are misdemeanors.
Crisp said Hale-Cusanelli believed then-president Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... ’s false claims about a stolen election. But the defense attorney said Hale-Cusanelli went to Washington to peacefully protest, wearing a suit while many others wore tactical gear.
A video captured Hale-Cusanelli yelling profanities at coppers and screaming, "The revolution will be televised!"
"This was not a peaceful protest," Assistant US Attorney Kathryn Fifield said.
More than 800 people have been charged with Capitol crimes stemming from the riot. Many of them are military veterans. Hale-Cusanelli is among a few defendants who were on active duty on January 6.
US District Judge Trevor McFadden, who presided over Hale-Cusanelli’s trial, decided two other Capitol riot cases after hearing testimony without a jury. McFadden acquitted one of the defendants of all charges and partially acquitted the other after bench trials.
Hale-Cusanelli was arrested less than two weeks after the attack and has remained locked away Please don't kill me! since February 2021. He was discharged from the US Army Reserves and barred from the Navy base after his arrest.
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is spending border wall funds, previously allocated by Congress to construct a wall along the United States-Mexico border, on addressing “life, safety, [and] environmental,” issues.
In July 2021, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the administration’s plans to spend American taxpayer money on a host of issues, including environmental restoration, rather than expanding on the border’s existing wall constructed during the Trump administration.
On Friday, Mayorkas detailed plans to close some of the border wall’s gaps that have remained since Biden halted all construction of border wall in late January 2021.
As part of that effort, Mayorkas said in a news release that DHS is moving “forward with projects in the San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, El Paso, and Rio Grande Valley Sectors to address life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements in accordance with [DHS’s] plan for the use of border barrier funds.”
[WND] Joe Biden has told another of his stories in an address to the Naval Academy graduates.
And it wasn't even hours before its truthfulness was being challenged.
The New York Post said Biden reported applying for the academy, but bluntly said the dates claimed by Biden "don't add up."
"President Biden told graduating midshipmen at the Naval Academy Friday that he applied to the school in 1965 — but a quick check of his biography shows problems with the story," the report said.
Biden claimed he applied with a letter from then-Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs, "but the year he cited — 1965 — is the same year he graduated from the University of Delaware."
"I was told the Class of ’72 is here. I was appointed to the academy in 1965 by a senator who I was running against in 1972 — never planned it that way. I wasn’t old enough to be sworn in. I was only 29 years old when I was running," Biden said. "He was a fine man. His name is J. Caleb Boggs. I didn’t come to the academy because I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named [Roger] Staubach and [Joe] Bellino here. So I went to Delaware."
The post reported Bellino and Staubach are the only two Navy players to win the Heisman.
The report explained the U.S. was fully involved in Vietnam by the mid-1960s and had Biden gone to the academy, he would have needed to serve in the Navy on graduation.

His stories will always be with us but many more reviewing his many accomplishments as President and commander and chief as the media will dutifully report. I can hear him proclaim his management of China and Russia preventing or winning WW111.

From the cool WH pool, hark, a bark:
"My career has been warlike and dark.
Get Osama? That's me,
Had I not a bad knee...
Could we go for a walk in the park?"
#6
I feel for the Class of 22. The Academy is a difficult four years. To get your diploma from Biden is not optimal. At least he made it memorable by demonstrating his demonic possession with the creepy whispering which has become his signature move. Can’t have a Michael Jackson concert without a moonwalk.

They seem to be letting Joe out more lately; maybe they are ready to dump him and waiting for the unforgivable gaffe?

Biden's also lying about his support for Ukraine. Of the $15B for weaponry in the latest bill, only $6B will actually go to the Ukrainians. $9B is actually going to replenish the depleted US arsenal -- depleted by earlier shipments to Ukraine that succceeding in nothing more than buying the Ukrainians a few extra weeks. So in reality, US support under Biden is diminishing, not increasing.
This is corroborated by the EU chief's statement the other day that the European allies are so depleted now, "the European armies couldn't maintain a war like the one in Ukraine for more than two weeks. They'll run out of ammunition" in a conventional war with Russia.
Joe is just bullshitting again -- just like his lies about Afghanistan in that interview he gave to Stephanopoulos. As with Afghanistan, a big chunk of that $6B will probably end up in Russian hands.

Instead of a 'Real' college? tsk, tsk.
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
