Somebody Has to Pay for Student Loan Forgiveness
August 24, 2022 by Michael Maharrey
*** begin quote ***
President Biden is expected to announce student loan forgiveness on Wednesday (Aug. 24). The plan will reportedly cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for anybody making less than $125,000 per year.
A lot of people think this is like waving a magic wand — poof — the debt is gone. But somebody has to pay and that somebody is the American taxpayer.
Nothing the government does is free. Ultimately, student loan debt forgiveness will add to the already massive budget deficit. That means Uncle Sam will have to borrow more money that taxpayers will have to repay, either in higher taxes or the inflation tax.
*** end quote ***
And we know who all pay — the Taxpayers.
The economy will have more inflation to deal with and the moral hazards keep piling up!

Billionaires Spend $3 Million Against Trump-Endorsed Kelly Tshibaka, Lisa Murkowski’s Opponent
Wendell Huseb 22 Aug 2022
*** begin quote ***
Billionaires from the L.I.S.A. super PAC have donated nearly $3 million against Trump-endorsed Alaskan Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, the opponent of establishment and pro-impeachment incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
L.I.S.A, which reportedly stands for “Leadership in a Strong Alaska,” only backs one candidate, Murkowski. The main PAC contributors are hedge fund managers Ken Griffin, John Arnold, and Louis Bacon, who, respectively, contributed $1.5 million, $500,000, and $50,000. “James and Kathryn Murdoch, the politically moderate heirs to the Murdoch media empire, have each given $250,000,” Forbes reported:

I heard, on one of the many podcasts that I listen to, the idea that politicians should only be able to take campaign contributions from folks who can vote for them.
I like that idea.
Every politician should be required to post where their money comes from.
Maybe jackets like NASCAR?

Two Michigan Men Convicted of Conspiracy to Kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
Posted by Mary Chastain Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at 01:00pm

The entrapment accusation came out in July 2021 by BuzzFeed of all places. The outlet reviewed the evidence and found out that at least 12 of the FBI confidential informants had a larger role in the plot:

Julie Kelly had a great thread:
*Limited cross examin by defense (for 1st time he said, also extremely rare in criminal cases) of 2 cooperating witnesses allegedly part of the conspiracy
*Repeatedly scolded defense in front of jury; accused defense of wasting time over “crap” questioning
*Gave unwieldy…

Judge Jonker, a GWB appointee, handled this trial far differently than the first.
You’re telling me a jury didn’t convict on a SINGLE COUNT in first trial with 2 more defendants but returned all guilty in less than half the time with 2 fewer defendants?
Jonker got the message.

I hope there’s an appeal. I’d contribute to a defense fund.
Yes, they were stupid bozos but the FBI did the entrapment.

UN diplomat dodges NYC rape rap thanks to diplomatic immunity: cops

*** begin quote ***
A United Nations diplomat from Africa was accused of raping one of his neighbors in Upper Manhattan over the weekend — but NYPD cops released him because he has diplomatic immunity, authorities said Monday. Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46 — a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan — was arrested in Sunday’s alleged sex assault on a woman inside her apartment around noon, according to a police report obtained by The Post. Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said. But once he informed…

Seems simple enough.
Too many parking tickets — PNG!
Too many complaints — PNG!
A rape complaint — PNG!
Person Non Grata
Use it more often and “diplomats” will behave like civilized human beings.
And, in a spirit of reciprocity, if the USA’s “diplomats” misbehave, then if they can’t be fired, reassign them to Sitka Alaska. (Where I am told there’s a woman behind every tree!)
Argh!

These YouTube divers did in one day what cops couldn’t do in two weeks in Kiely Rodni search

They’re the deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni in less than a full day of looking — even after authorities spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.
Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir on Sunday — and within hours found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside.
“WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI,” the volunteer group claimed on Facebook, ahead of local authorities confirming that the body was indeed the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6.
*** end quote ***
The various agencies of Gooferment bragged about how much effort they put into the search. Only to “eat crow” when private citizens found her in less than a day.
I guess it all depends upon your motivation, tools, and training.
Like Uvalde, “who would build the roads” argument, but in this case it’s “who will find the bodies”!

Police confirm gang made up of an 11-YEAR-OLD boy as well as teens aged 13, 14, and 18 brutally beat and robbed Asian woman, 70, in San Francisco
By Vanessa Serna and James Gordon For Dailymail.com

*** begin quote ***
Police have confirmed an 11-year-old was involved in the brutal beating and robbery of a 70-year-old woman in San Francisco earlier this month.
Horrific video footage shows a 70-year-old Asian woman being attacked by a group of juveniles in broad daylight.
It has now been revealed how together with the 11-year-old, a group of teenagers aged 13, 14 and 18-years-old also participated in the attack.
*** end quote ***
“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown
If this woman was armed and trained, then she should have been able to resist the muggers.
Despite most of their ages, she should have ended the attack by giving them “their shots” that they so richly deserve.
They may be young, but they are “feral animals” that should be put down.
Sad to say, but they deserve no mercy.

No, I haven’t. But, it is IMHO surprisingly high. For example, I blog under the heading of “tin foil hat” all the ones I hear about. For example, TWA flight 800 was probably shot down by a Navy frigate by accident. It was covered up by the Navy and the various Gooferment agencies. Of course, it was dismissed as “yet another conspiracy theory”. Just recently, after some number of years, credible testimony comes out that it was the Navy. Now, of course, no one will formally admit that it was. I guess too many lawsuits by the families and all the “tin foil hats” that were intimidated and disparaged. Here’s a screen shot of the many blog postings I ranted about.
Now granted that is just one example, but there are many many others. That’s why a lot (half?) the country doesn’t believe the Gooferment, politicians, bureaucrats, the media, or “celebrities’. “I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notarized.” … attributed to Judge Marilyn Milian, but may have an earlier history.
Sorry, but I’ve been red pilled for a while. For me, it started with the JFK assassination. I was never a “gun nut” but was always interested in them. When I heard what Oswald allegedly used as a rife, the distance, and angle, I began to suspect that this whole store was “barbara streisand” (i.e., BS; bull <synonym for excrement>). I also took note of a Dorthy Killgalan’s murder; she was hot on the trail of the story of JFK’s assasination.
If you think it would be “interesting” or useful, I could begin to create an itemized list. I did start to develop a taxonomy or scale for a Conspiracy Theory meter. So, for example, I’d categorize TWA 800 as “Governmental (Conspiracy Theory)” and set the dial from “plausible” to “more likely than not”. I’m just waiting for the chance to move it to “proven” when the Gooferment formally admits its actions.
Maybe if DJT45 becomes DJT47, it could happen. But I’m not holding my breath.
This is probably more than you wanted to know, but I’ll make a good blog post.

The terms “red pill” and “blue pill” refer to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill. The terms refer to a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix.

Clearly, like all “good” Conspiracy Theories, it has some plausibility. Money, motive, opportunity … …. and best of all it has “that’s just crazy” defense.
I’ll have to dig out my “conspiracy theory” ruler to measure how to label this.
Remember my 2010 taxonomy on conspiracy theory: (1) Government; (2) Political; (3) Historical; and (4) Miscellaneous. S0 I may have to add a “Commercial” category. Can’t find my conspiracy theory ruler. Guess I’ll have to reinvent it. Argh! The scale would go from “Generally Accepted As True” all the way to “Generally Accepted As False” with “tab stops” at “unlikely”, “plausible”, “possible”, “less likely than not”, “more likely than not”.
I welcome input on my scale.For this one, I’d assign it a label of “plausible”. I take no opinions but would like to see evidence (i.e., a Pfizer email; a check to the parties involved). Rumors and innuendo can move it on the scale.

How, When, Do We Come Together Again?

*** begin quote ***
Nor is it only clashing morality that divides us.
For a nation, a country, a people, a democracy to endure, there needs be a broad consensus of belief, culture, custom and politics.
On the issue of law and order, without which a republic cannot stand, there is now disagreement over the role and conduct of our police.

Has the great experiment run its course?
*** end quote ***
Yes, inho
FROM LUDDITE:
Not sure it has “run its course yet”, but it surely can be seen on the horizon. Too bad, since it could have worked great indefinitely, I wonder what analysts will say at the end about what could have been done to keep it from failing?
True. I point to the killing of the black churches and families with LBJ’s “Great Society” welfare rules. It created 4 generations of welfare farmers.

Upon reflection, Brion McClanahan points to the “Civil War” aka “The War of Northern Aggression” as the transformation from A Federal Republic to a monolithic “identify nation”. Hard to argue with him. (His credentials are vastly superior to mine.) The downward spiral certainly started there and just kept sliding at an accelerating pace. Destroyed the churches. Destroyed the civil society. Destroyed the mutual aid societies.
Sadly.

Shannon Bream fired from first job by ‘man who said I was worst person he’d seen on TV’

*** begin quote ***
Shannon Bream, who has been tapped by the Fox News Channel to moderate its flagship Sunday morning political talk show, said that she was fired from her first job in television by a man “who told me I was the worst person he’d ever seen on TV.”
*** and ***
There is always room for improvement, and believe me I needed it.”
Bream, a devout Christian and graduate of the evangelical Liberty University, tweeted: “I got a healthy serving of humility, and learned that God often allows us to walk through valleys – for our own good.”
“That was also true when I spent years in chronic pain and was ultimately diagnosed with a genetic condition that has no cure.”
In 2018, Bream revealed that she suffers from excruciating eye pain caused by epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, which is an incurable genetic disorder of the eye.
The painful condition causes the surface cells of the eye to adhere to the eyelids.
Bream says that her career obstacles and health challenges have only served to better her.

I think this says volumes about this woman’s achievements
