COVID, COVID, COVID. These people just will not let it go.
The Biden administration has decided to bypass the Supreme Court ruling on student load handouts. So much for the rule of law.
And that damned Constitution keeps allowing Christians to practice their faith.
They Don’t Care About the Rule of Law
According to Fox News:
President Biden’s administration is officially rolling out its SAVE plan on Tuesday, its latest attempt to grant student debt relief after Biden’s more wide-reaching plan failed before the Supreme Court.
Biden announced the plan alongside Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and other members of his administration on Tuesday. Under the SAVE plan, borrowers making roughly $15 an hour will not have to make any payments, while others earning above that amount will save at least $1,000 a year in comparison to other income-driven repayment plans.
“As long as you pay what you owe under this plan, you’ll no longer see your loan balance grow because of unpaid interest. Under the SAVE Plan, monthly payments are based on your income, not your student loan balance,” Biden said in remarks recorded on video and released by the White House.
“The SAVE plan is another huge step forward in President Biden’s tireless efforts to fix the broken student loan system, reduce the burden of student debt on working families, and put borrowers first,” Cardona said in a statement.

That Damn Constitution
According to Fox News:
A federal district court ruled Monday in favor of a Michigan fruit farmer who was ousted from a local farmer’s market after he said he wouldn’t host same-sex weddings at his farm. The decision may signal the end of what has been a six-year legal battle.
Steve Tennes, owner of Country Mill Farms, sued East Lansing in 2017 after officials chose to exclude him from the city’s farmers market. Tennes, a devout Catholic, apparently was targeted by city officials after saying on Facebook that he follows the Catholic Church’s teachings about marriage, including when he participates in weddings at his family’s farm.
On Monday, a U.S. District Court judge for the Western District of Michigan ruled that Tennes and his family were improperly “forced to choose between following their religious beliefs and a government benefit for which they were otherwise qualified.”
The court said the city of East Lansing violated the Tennes’ free exercise rights protected in the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment. “The reason is simple: denying a person an equal share of the rights, benefits, and privileges enjoyed by other citizens because of her faith discourages religious activity,” the ruling states.
Another Lawsuit Coming
According to Fox News:
A Maine hospital executive involved in diversity, equity and inclusion hosted an antiracist prayer service that had a group of White people apologize for their internalized racism as White people, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Ryan Polly is a vice president of DEI at MaineHealth, a hospital system of over 20,000 employees. He has said the hospitals cater to overwhelmingly White patients, which is reflected by local demographics.
Polly refers to himself as a “minister” of a group called One Spirit. According to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital, which has since been scrubbed, Polly is shown teaching attendees how to be practitioners of antiracism through a prayer that he dedicated to “loving spirits who are known by many names.”
The DEI leader’s ideology is steeped in critical race theory. He said during the prayer services that he himself maintains “racist narratives and biases,” and attributed those to his skin color.
“Only then can we become equipped to… challenge the systems that have been designed to give us the advantage and oppress everyone else,” he said about becoming an antiracist practitioner.
“As the head of diversity, equity and inclusion at a major health system, I think frequently about my role as White person first and as a diversity leader second. I think about the responsibility I have to continue the deep internal work of… understanding my own racist narrative and biases,” Polly said. “I think about the privilege my Whiteness affords me and the choices Whiteness allows me to have… My Whiteness keeps me and my family safe.”
MaineHealth defended Polly, stating, “Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion stems from our organizational values, mission and vision. This work strengthens our connections with patients and ultimately helps us to deliver higher-quality care. Consistent with our value of Respect and our role as an institution of learning, we welcome and encourage divergent viewpoints and dialogue among our patients and care team.”
However, Polly’s views on DEI contain outright stereotyping of people on the basis of being White, claiming that they are conditioned to be racist and oppressive.
For example, Polly said that White people acquire “ignorance,” “biases” and “racist thoughts” on the basis of their belonging to a “life of Whiteness.”
“This evening has been designed with White people in mind not to take the stage. We have plenty of places to take the stage,” he said, starting off the prayer. “We [need] to… begin the work to join the fight… We need to ensure we… do the work to challenge our ignorance, our biases and the racist thoughts that we’ve acquired through the life of Whiteness.”
In a portion of the prayer focused on “dismantling the system,” Polly encouraged the White people attending to feel uncomfortable with the messages.
“Let us develop the courage to dive [into] deeply experienced discomfort. Let’s sit with it… knowing that the answers come not from our own conscious thinking because that thinking is shaped by racist constructs. The answers lie deeper,” he said. “Let us leave with the tenacity to become anti-racist and continue the fight, even on the days when we could simply choose not to. Amen.”
Good news! Not everyone thinks this is a good idea and a bunch of executives and stayy think this Polly guy is unhinged.
What is going to take care of this is a lawsuit.
Wait for the Perversion
According to the New York Post:
Surgeons have performed the UK’s first womb transplant, signaling a new future for childbirth.
A 34-year-old woman received a womb from her 40-year-old sister, who has two children of her own.
The recipient was “incredibly happy” and “over the moon” following the nine-hour operation, Isabel Quiroga, a consultant surgeon at the Oxford Transplant Centre, told The Guardian.
The woman, who is married, plans to try to have two children with IVF using the five embryos she had frozen.
She was born with a rare condition that left her womb underdeveloped.
There Is a Name for This
According to the New York Post:
She’ll love, honor, and obey — as long as you’re willing to pay.
For a cool $30,000, a bosomy brunette is assuming the position of “surrogate wife,” selling herself out to married men seeking virtual companionship from a woman who’ll gladly fulfill their most primitive pleasures like “no other woman” willingly would.
“I do tasks that average wives often prefer to avoid — like watching a football match on television without complaining,” bragged bombshell Babi Palomas, 24, from São Paulo, Brazil.
As a surrogate wife, who only offers her saucy services digitally, Palomas, a “digital creator” with more than 111,000 Instagram followers, happily caters to the emotional needs of her woefully wedded patrons when they purchase either her 12-hour or 24-hour packages.
“With one client, I made dinner while [I] accompanied [him] on a call, and we watched movies together,” the social media siren told Jam Press, adding that she never goes to customers’ homes. “We then watched a football match, among other little things.”
Palomas, who also has — of course — an OnlyFans account, said her remote presence means the world to her otherwise hapless habitués.
“[These men] open up to me and tell me about their lives,” the video vixen revealed.
“In these conversations, I realized that many of the men who are married and have families feel lonely,” she continued, noting that the gloomy grooms most appreciate her independence and ability to get down and dirty with messy tasks like changing a tire.
