The passing scene is hilarious, until it careens through the front yard and crashes into my living room.

Biden is breaking the law by canceling student loans, and everybody knows it
A COVID-19 emergency excuse is even less persuasive today than it was when Pelosi last year said Biden doesn't have the authority to cancel the loans.
This will be stopped by the courts, same as Biden's illegal vaccine mandate for the private sector was stopped.
Still waiting, however, for the courts to reverse the illegal deprivation of the former president of access to his own papers.
So don't hold your breath.
This out of control and senile old man Joe Biden should be impeached and removed from office.
US Department of Education, Office of the General Counsel, January 12, 2021, here:
All federal student loan programs administered by the Department are funded through annual Congressional appropriations drawn from the Treasury. These appropriations are conditioned on the Department’s faithful execution of the laws authorizing that loans be made available to eligible borrowers and then repaid or collected. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077a, 1078, 1078-3, 1078-6, 1078-7, 1080, 1080a, 1082, 1083, 1085, 1087e, 1087-1, 1087gg, 1091b, 1092b, 1092c, 1095a, 1098e. Although Congress could enact legislation authorizing the Department to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances, and/or to materially modify repayment amounts or terms, it has not done so. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 1077-10 – 1077-12, 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1087ee, 1091b, 1098d. Rather, Congress has explicitly authorized cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness, and/or material modifications to repayment amounts or terms only in very limited circumstances. See, e.g., 20 U.S.C. §§ 1087e(f), 1087e(h), 1094(b)(3), 1098aa, et seq. ...
Title IV’s plain text and statutory scheme, and controlling interpretative canons, compel us to conclude Congress appropriated funds for student loans with the expectation that such loans would be repaid except in very specific circumstances.

Biden lied about American citizens left in Afghanistan saying only 100 remained after the pullout when over 800 have been rescued in the interim
Republican efforts in Congress are responsible for the new information coming to light.
It is unclear how many American citizens still remain in Afghanistan.
Nor is anything said about the fate of tens of thousands of Afghan friends of the US who never made it out despite American promises to bring them here.
600 legal permanent residents of the US have also been rescued.

It's odd how this guy never mentions the post-election shenanigans which DEFINE the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would REQUIRE faithless votes in the Electoral College
Time To Eliminate the Possibility of Faithless Electors :
In spite of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Chiafalo v. Washington that states can bind electors to the popular vote, only 14 states have laws in place to do so. This leaves open the possibility that as many as 420 electors across the country could still cast faithless votes with the only remedy being whether or not Congress would choose to count those votes in their Jan. 6 joint session. This is the type of scenario the ECRA is trying to avoid.
He doesn't say anything about the National Popular Vote Compact here, either, which would potentially nullify the will of the people of a state who voted for one candidate but whose electors were forced to vote for another under the compact. That would be done legally by state signatories, but it would still be wrong.
As of June 2022, [the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact] has been adopted by fifteen states and the District of Columbia. These states have 195 electoral votes, which is 36% of the Electoral College and 72% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force.
More.
All 50 states certified their results in Election 2020, making Joe Biden the winner. Rogue electors weren't recognized by Vice President Pence, correctly, under already existing laws.
Electors would be no less rogue under the NPV.
It would be less ambiguous to these people if the Supreme Court had ruled "shall" instead of "may", but the whole opinion is clear:
A State may enforce an elector’s pledge to support his party’s nominee—and the state voters’ choice—for President.
The Supreme Court on July 6, 2020 concluded by saying that
electors are not free agents; they are to vote for the candidate whom the State’s voters have chosen
which ought to settle the matter, but apparently can't in some minds.
Odd.

Like almost every other public official who has come down with COVID-19 this year, who are now too numerous to list, Joe Biden was fully vaxxed and boosted twice
Joe is taking Paxlovid even though the new drug has been shown to work best on older individuals who have not been vaccinated at all.
Before Joe Biden came down with COVID-19, he was at Brayton Point Power Station in Massachusetts, where 1530 MW of electricity used to be produced from cheap, plentiful coal
Torn down starting in 2019, the former coal power plant will become a hub for just 804 MW of offshore wind energy, 52% of what used to come from that location.
Biden was accompanied by the usual suspects.

LOL, on Tuesday July 12th Joe Biden told the president of Mexico in a meeting that America has the fastest growing economy in the world
Biden, once López Obrador finished, reminded him that America's economy is the fastest growing in the world, while showing no umbrage and restating his respect for Mexico and its leader.

Joe Biden's own US Bureau of Economic Analysis, June 29th, said GDP fell at an annual rate of 1.6% in 1Q2022:

When both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are joined at the hip to Saudi Arabia's money and oil, you know everything is wrong
Later this month, Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey hosts
its first tournament for the new LIV Golf series, funded by Saudi
Arabia, which is upending the sport’s establishment with a $2 billion investment and contracts with top players that reportedly reach $150 million or more. ...
The huge Saudi sums could not only benefit Trump financially as he
mulls a comeback bid in 2024, but they also pose a mortal threat to the
PGA Tour, which reacted to LIV Golf by suspending players from competing
in its tournaments — a move that landed the tour in the crosshairs of a
federal antitrust investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. ...
Meanwhile, the survivors and families of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have lined up against LIV Golf and protested its
first U.S. event last month in Oregon because of Saudi Arabia’s
involvement and the kingdom’s multiple connections to the hijackers. ...
Trump’s decision to tee off with LIV highlights his close ties to Saudi Arabia; he made his first foreign visit there as president, and its wealth fund injected $2 billion into his son-in-law’s company last year.
More.
Meanwhile, Biden is headed to Saudi Arabia, hat in hand, asking for more oil, which he could easily get here but for his idiotic war on carbon.
Biden heads to Saudi Arabia for what could be an ‘embarrassing’ climbdown — or a welcome reset
While campaigning in 2019, Biden vowed to treat the Saudi kingdom as
“the pariah that they are,” and as president, he vocally criticized the
country’s human rights abuses. He also insisted on viewing Saudi
Arabia’s King Salman as his counterpart, rather than the 36-year-old
crown prince, who runs the kingdom’s day-to-day affairs.
Crown Prince Mohammed in March reportedly refused to take a call from Biden, as the U.S. leader pleaded with Gulf states to increase oil production after banning Russian oil imports.
And in an early March interview with The Atlantic, when asked if he thought Biden misunderstood him, the crown prince replied: “Simply, I do not care. It’s up to him to think about the interests of America.”

Damn fool Biden administration releases crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to reduce fuel prices, 5 million barrels get exported abroad last month, including to China
More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month . . ..
