WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is tying its authority to cancel student debt to the coronavirus pandemic and to a 2003 law aimed at providing help to members of the military. Legal challenges are expected. Skeptics of the administration’s ability to act on its own, without new legislation, had once included President Joe Biden himself and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But in a legal opinion released Wednesday, the Justice Department said that the HEROES Act of 2003 gives the administration “sweeping authority” to reduce or eliminate student debt during a national emergency, ”when significant actions with potentially far-reaching consequences...

You remember the brave, skilled and patriotic Tom Cruise playing Maverick in the movie Top Gun. His flying exploits remind me of the Republicans in the House and the Senate. Maverick engaged with the enemy in deadly combat and put his life at risk to serve his country. It was amazing to watch Mav dodge bullets, evade deadly missiles and defy strict orders in order to accomplish his mission. He was courageous and his exploits were heroic. Republicans in Congress behave exactly like Maverick. NO, not like the brave Maverick in Top Gun 2 who puts his own life at...

Hillary Clinton is upstaged by Kim Kardashian in a clip from her upcoming Apple TV+ series, Gutsy. While competing in a legal knowledge quiz, Clinton — who has a Yale law degree — gets creamed by Kardashian — who took four tries to pass California’s baby bar exam. In a clip from Gutsy shared with People, Clinton faces off against Kardashian in a battle of the wits, but ends up facing a tough 11-4 loss. Before taking the quiz, Clinton expresses doubts. “I think Kim has an unfair advantage,” she says in the episode previewed by People, while Chelsea Clinton...

Now that Rep. Liz Cheney has lost her primary to a Trumpist Republican in Wyoming, it’s time for President Biden to consider appointing her to his cabinet. Political tensions have risen to new levels since the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago. Bringing a Republican into the administration would cool partisan temperatures and unite the country in support of the rule of law. President Franklin D. Roosevelt used this strategy when the U.S. divided sharply over how to respond to Hitler’s aggression. In June 1940, he appointed Henry Stimson and Frank Knox as secretaries of war and...

These UCLA students don’t know what the capital of the United States is. This is proof that getting into college is way too easy. No wonder why so many college students think that borrowing money doesn’t entail paying it back.This new video from James Klug is called, “BRUTAL: Gen Z Fails To Answer The EASIEST Questions.”He asks adults the following questions. They don’t know the answers:What’s the capital of the United States?How many stars are on the United States flag?What ocean is on the east side of the United States?What country is the Queen of England from?What was Adolf Hitler’s...

Rostin Behnam, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has decided that PredictIt website must cease operations by February 15, 2023. PredictIt allows people to bet on election outcomes. Lately, the betting shows that only 20% expect Biden to be reelected in 2024. Behnam chastised the website, saying "by allowing its customers to bet against President Biden PredictIt undermining the unity that the President is trying so hard to attain. They are also engaging in same kind of election interference that Russia did in 2016 that enabled Trump to steal victory from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton." "There's also...

A trend that kicked off last summer with protestors supergluing themselves to Starbucks venues has taken its next step. But that next step has landed protestors inside blocks of concrete, with placard-waving protestors closing off the entrance to a Nashville Starbucks by embedding themselves. In a campaign meant to show how vegan protestors are refusing to budge, the protestors waved signs asking Starbucks to 'end the vegan upcharge' on plant-based milks. Starbucks said: 'We respect our customers’ rights to respectfully voice their opinions so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.' The company said customers can add a...

“Federal agents should not be given carte blanche to root around in Rep. Perry’s phone data looking for evidence that they hope might further their investigation,” his attorneys wrote in a lawsuit. U.S. Rep. Scott Perry is seeking to block the Justice Department from accessing the contents of his cell phone as officials continue to investigate his involvement in former President Donald Trump’s efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. FBI agents seized the York County Republican’s phone on Aug. 9 under a court-authorized search warrant. But investigators have not yet been authorized to access any of...

A crazed driver told his victims 'I got something for you, mother*******,' before mowing down three men and killing them outside of a Chicago gay bar. Tavis Dunbar 34, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder after turning himself in on Monday following the deaths of Jaylen Ausley, 23, Devonta Vivetter, 27, and Donald Huey, 25, outside of Jeffery Pub around 5am on August 14.

Kevin Priola, two days after the Henderson lawmaker announced he was leaving the GOP to become a Democrat.

His picks are more extreme than other candidates. They may also be a liability America’s mid-term elections will be decided in part by Donald Trump. It is unusual for a former president to play such a large role in future elections. Mr Trump has endorsed candidates who are loyal to him and shunned the rest. Of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach him for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th 2021, four failed to win renomination. The latest was Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, vice-chair of the committee investigating the former president’s role in the attack....

My company recently expanded its parental leave policy so that anyone, regardless of gender, gets the same, generous leave of six months fully paid. It’s called “bonding leave” so the intent is pretty clear. One of my male colleagues told me very matter of factly that he is intending to take his full leave after his wife’s paid maternity leave is up. But, instead of caring for the baby, he is going to get a “second” job for 6 months and his wife is going to stay home with the baby and take unpaid leave from her job. In effect,...

In July of 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Joe Biden does not have the executive authority to issue “debt forgiveness,” arguing that such action would be illegal and that it has “to be an act of Congress.” “People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,” Pelosi said July 28 at a press conference. “The President can’t do it. So that’s not even a discussion. Not everybody realizes...
