It is the last day of the Supreme Court session, and as usual, the decisions on the more complex cases are coming down in rapid succession. On Thursday, Joe Biden took little time to speak to the nation, openly criticized the Court, and called it an abnormal Court. He probably should have held off until today and consolidated his disagreement. One of the decisions on Student Loan Forgiveness exposes the President circumventing Congress, utilizing Executive Order, and using the Supreme Court as a scapegoat for shooting down something the President should never have tried.

Biden knew he was overstepping his authority to promise thousands of dollars of relief to a specific group of Student Loan Followers. He and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi were on the record saying the attempt was unconstitutional. But that was inconsequential. What mattered was a promise to the young voters, and these gullible intellectuals bought the false promise hook, line, and sinker. Millions of students and graduates with student loans worked harder than they ever did in class to figure out how to spend their $20,000 gift from the American taxpayers. They did not care where the money came from. The card read, “Thanks for your vote, Joe.”

The comments from disappointed fleeced loan holders today were borderline hilarious. “I am at a disadvantage. The students who saved for school or worked to pay as they go don’t have the debt I have. They can afford a nice apartment or even a home. I need my loans paid off in the spirit of equity.” Obviously, this kid was an economics major and had the same class ranking as Joe Biden. Politicians were fingering the schools for the blame. Money was so easy that tuition rates skyrocketed. It’s not the student’s fault. We need to bail them out. Every taxpayer is responsible for stepping up for these poor kids. Sorry, but no. These kids signed on the dotted line and can now sign the checks.

Biden’s comments today about the SCOTUS decisions were embarrassing. He put the entire blame on Republicans and the MAGA justices on the Court. He took no accountability for a bogus vote catch that he pulled off to help him win the 2020 election. He deceived millions of Americans but feels if he takes the microphone, goes into whisper mode, and continues to lie to America, he can deflect the blame and come out looking like the hero who tried to help the students. What a sham.

The great unifier is clearly in divisive mode as he readies for his re-election bid. According to the polls, he has had a bad run of SCOTUS decisions, and the economy continues to haunt him. Nobody is buying his leadership, and nobody shares his vision. A negative campaign will not reverse the polls, which show that most Americans do not agree with any aspect of his domestic, international, or economic policies. He also has his age and a feckless VP/running mate that will raise the anxiety level of most voters. The numbers indicate he should be a one-term President but don’t count out the Democrats when it comes to creativity in manipulating an election.
