Texas Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Legislation
|
Wall Street Journal: A federal judge in Texas on Thursday struck down the Biden administration’s student-debt forgiveness plan, imperiling a key administration priority that would have canceled up to $20,000 in student debt for tens of millions of borrowers. The Biden administration’s plan is an “unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power” that also failed to go through normal regulatory processes, Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas wrote ( Wall Street Journal). Axios: The move comes after a federal appeals court temporarily blocked the plan in a suit brought by six Republican states ( Axios).

Presidents Biden, Xi Jinping to Meet Monday
|
Associated Press: President Joe Biden will meet Monday with President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of next week’s Group of 20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia, a face-to-face meeting that comes amid increasingly strained U.S.-China relations. It will be the first in-person meeting between the leaders of the world’s two biggest economies since Biden became president in January 2021 and comes weeks after Xi was awarded a norm-breaking third, five-year term as the Chinese Communist Party leader during the party’s national congress ( Associated Press). Wall Street Journal: Both sides have set low expectations for next week’s Biden-Xi summit, suggesting that holding the meeting is enough. The aim is for Messrs. Biden and Xi to better understand each other’s priorities and intentions to reduce misunderstandings and manage differences ( Wall Street Journal).

Trans Teen Wins Local Miss America Beauty Pageant in New Hampshire

The contestant, Brian Nguyen, (pronounced Bree-Ann) won the competition to be titled “Miss Greater Derry 2023,” local outlet WPDE reported. In an Instagram post, Nguyen boasted about being “the FIRST transgender woman to be a Miss America local titleholder” in its 100 year old history ( Townhall).

Nguyen says she advocates for marginalized women ( Twitter). Reporter Addison Smith: I’m sure he earned his win and him being “trans” had absolutely zero factor whatsoever in the fact that a chubby dude “won” a beauty pageant over a bunch of healthy (& real) girls ( Twitter).

Musk Warns of Twitter’s Possible Bankruptcy
|
Reuters: Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk on Thursday raised the possibility of the social media platform going bankrupt, capping a chaotic day that included a warning from a U.S. regulator and departures of senior executives viewed as future leaders. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said it was watching Twitter with “deep concern” after these three privacy and compliance officers quit. These resignations potentially put Twitter at risk of violating regulatory orders ( Reuters). New York Post: Since taking charge, Musk has fired former Chief Executive Parag Agrawal and other top management, and the company’s advertising and marketing chiefs left soon afterwards, adding to concerns that Twitter does not have enough people in place to monitor that it remains compliant with regulations ( New York Post).

Taliban Bars Women from Gyms, Parks
|
These are the people President Biden handed the country to. Associated Press: The Taliban are banning women from using gyms in Afghanistan, an official in Kabul said Thursday, the religious group’s latest edict cracking down on women’s rights and freedoms since they took power more than a year ago. The Taliban overran the country last year, seizing power in August 2021. They have banned girls from middle school and high school, despite initial promises to the contrary, restricted women from most fields of employment, and ordered them to wear head-to-toe clothing in public. A spokesman from the Ministry of Virtue and Vice said the ban was being introduced because people were ignoring gender segregation orders and that women were not wearing the required headscarf, or hijab. Women are also banned from parks ( Associated Press).

Climate Activists Say Shipping Natural Gas Hinders Global Warming Reduction Efforts
|
Hot Air: Natural gas is one of the most plentiful and affordable energy sources we have at our disposal and it meets the needs of humanity in both heating and power generation when given the opportunity to do so. Sadly, we are still in the midst of a global energy crisis, but that issue is slowly being tamed via US exports of natural gas, particularly LNG (liquified natural gas). But this week we saw various news outlets including the Associated Press raising the alarm and saying that all of this natural gas being shipped around the planet will “catastrophically hinder” the chances of reducing global warming. Apparently, they expect a lot of people to voluntarily freeze to death this winter in the name of climate change ( Hot Air).

Republicans Close the Gender Gap
|
National Review: There is a well-known gender gap among American voters, but the salience of the issue of abortion has not affected the size of the gap from 2018 to 2022. From the 2018 midterm elections to the 2022 midterms, male voters swung 10 points toward the Republicans, while female voters swung 11 points toward the Republicans ( National Review). Reporter John McCormack: Comparing 2018 to 2022 exit polls: Men swung 10 points toward Republicans; Women swung 11 points toward Republicans. Women: 2018: D+19. 2022: D+8. Men: 2018: R+4. 2022: R+14 ( Twitter).

Dinesh D’Souza: Well, what a night it was last night. And I gotta say it was a rough night, a bad night. Kind of like this tropical storm [in Florida] perhaps. Not a red wave, really. But I would say some dark clouds in many ways. But dark clouds with some silver linings.
Now, I don’t think...

Brandon Tatum challenges the pernicious narrative that America is systemically racist
|
|
|
|
Officer Tatum: Many black folks that I know are smart, and we don’t fall for the bull crap. And the reason we don’t fall for the bull crap is, one, because we put God first, and two, because we have common sense and we don’t believe that we gotta follow the status quo.

Morgan Zegers calls for accountability rather than blanket forgiveness for the wrongs perpetrated during covid madness
|
|

|
Morgan Zegers: The Atlantic, Emily Oster, just posted one of the worst things I have seen this year, in years. It’s called, “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty: We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about Covid.”
No thanks!
