Student loans were real loans—money borrowed for college on a promise to pay it back. But PPP “loans” were designed to be forgiven. During Covid, PPP advanced money to companies so they wouldn't have to lay off employees. In nearly all cases, 94%, the 'loans' then became grants.

Biden's scheme is plainly unlawful and will never take effect. Which is a good thing, because forcing millions of Americans who never went to college to cover the #studentloans of those who did would be an outrageous injustice.

Hamas is now saying Israel has killed 22,000, not 33,000 Gazans -- meaning the combatant to noncombatant ratio in this war is greater than 1:1, which would be a phenomenal, life-saving achievement.

The man did not try to kill Justice Kavanaugh. Though he had planned to, he didn't do it. Instead he walked away from Kavanaugh's home, called the police, and turned himself in.

After a stunning 36 years as the Republican national committeeman for Massachusetts, Ron Kaufman has been ousted. I recall visiting him in his WH office in 1988 or '89. I hoist a glass of amber-colored liquid and salute a GOP stalwart of the old school.

Mayor Wu's 2025 City of Boston budget is 8% higher than 2024's, which was 6.9% higher than 2023's, which was 5.9% higher than 2022's, which was 4.2% higher than 2021's.

Obama swore any use of chemical weapons by Assad in Syria would be a 'red line' triggering a US response. Yet when Assad crossed that line, Obama did nothing. Now Putin has used gas weapons in #Ukraine . Will Biden repeat Obama's blunder?

Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy, who grew up in the Jim Crow South, is a scholar of civil rights & race relations. But making job applicants submit pledges of allegiance to 'diversity' dogma, he says, is so odious it 'makes me wince.'

Pascal Sleiman, an official of the Christian Lebanese Forces party, was kidnapped yesterday in Lebanon. Today, his lifeless body was found in Syria.

A lot has been and can be said about Joe Rogan but I gotta hand it to him for actually listening and having some integrity.

This is an important video.

Whenever Jew-hatred flares up, leaders must choose: Do they resist the anti-Jewish blood libels and perhaps jeopardize their standing — or do they defend the truth and refute the vile antisemitic slanders.
