Canceling Student Loans

Phil Mattingly at CNN is reporting that the Biden administration is “leaning toward” canceling up to $10K of student loan debt for every American earning less than $125K. The announcement could come as early as tomorrow.

Nina Turner @ninaturner

Confirmed: Biden’s Failed Saudi Trip

Backstory: Joe Biden made the controversial visit to Saudi Arabia earlier this year and gave the infamous fist bump to Mohammed bin Salman who (basically) oversaw the killing of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi.

Update: Biden’s team made the calculation that the trip was worth it if Biden could convince Mohammed bin Salman to produce more oil. Well, it appears Saudi Arabia was unimpressed.

This is from Bloomberg:

“The FBI searched emails, texts and other electronic communications of as many as 3.4 million U.S. residents without a warrant over a year, the nation’s top spy chief said in a report.

The “queries” were made between December 2020 and November 2021 by Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel as they looked for signs of threats and terrorists within electronic data legally collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to an annual transparency report issued Friday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.” 

Fact-Checking Florida

Did Florida ban state school libraries from carrying “To Kill a Mockingbird” as part of their efforts to prevent children from reading inappropriate books? Of course not. But so much misinformation has circulated about Florida’s “banned book list” that even AP News did a fact check confirming the status.

Sex selective abortions in India are declining, but the absolute numbers of girls killed for being girls are still staggering: “The average annual number of baby girls “missing” in India fell from about 480,000 in 2010 to 410,000 in 2019.”

pewresearch.orgIndia’s Sex Ratio at Birth Begins To NormalizeIndia’s artificially wide ratio of baby boys to baby girls – which arose in the 1970s from the use of prenatal diagnostic technology to facilitate sex-selective abortions – now appears to be narrowing. Son bias has declined sharply among Sikhs, while Christians continue to have a natural balance of…
