Here's another reason to love Joe Biden!!!

Other than being just an all around swell human being, he is trying to help me discharge my student loans from the 80's!! I have been struggling for DECADES to pay off my original $17,000 student loans. (For a BS that never got me a job. Child Development.) Those loans, through default penalties and interest accruing, snowballed to almost $200,000!!! I don't make much money, have no retirement other than SS and I was never going to be able to really retire. Now, I have a chance to enjoy some golden years without being a greeter at wallyworld.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BIDEN!! Even if it fails, he tried. He cares. I love him.

I know we all can't stand Kimberly Guilfoyle

But, can we stop with the misogyny and slut shaming, please?

OMG! Roger Waters of Pink Floyd is off his rocker and an antisemitic jerk!!

What is wrong with this freak? I am so disgusted!! I can't believe how many celebrities I used to admire (Roseanne Barr, Jon Voight, RFKjr, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton) have fallen head first down the rabbit hole! How does this happen to formerly readonable people?

I LOVE YOU JOE BIDEN!!

"The Biden administration is proposing a new plan to forgive student debt, months after the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s sweeping pandemic-era debt relief plan in June.

The Education Department on Monday released a student debt relief proposal that would target four categories of borrowers: those with federal student loan balances that exceed the original borrowed amount; those with loans that entered into repayment 25 years ago or more; those with loans for career training programs that led to “unreasonable debt loads or provided insufficient earnings”; and those who are eligible for forgiveness under other repayment plans but have not applied for it."

So, my original loans were for approximately $20,000 when I graduated back in 1990. Due to defaulting twice, getting back into repayment on the IBR plan with penalties and interest, my loans ballooned to almost $200,000!! I am getting close to retirement, but can't because you still have to pay it back even if on SS.

THANK YOU JOE BIDEN!!

My first homemade sourdough bread.

Holy cow! It is sooooo good.

I started my starter a few weeks ago with all purpose flour. It bubbled but did not rise. I read that was because the wild yeasts hadn't enriched the starter and that rye flour would help. I bought some rye flour from the local health food store and within 2 days, it was bubbling and rising. I couldn't wait on a trditional sourdough without using yeast, so this loaf was made with some yeast. Real sourdough without yeast in the mixture takes 24 to 36 hours from start to finish. It is so worth the several weeks wait for my starter. Crunchy crust, smooth crumb and a wonderfully sour taste.

My next loaf will be the traditional way, without yeast.

Oh, I can't wait to hear what they have to say!!

Former Trump campaign aide Jessica Denson scored a long-fought and sweeping victory over her ex-boss on Thursday, when a federal judge voided the 2016 campaign’s nondisclosure agreement as overly restrictive. In addition to awarding Denson her settlement (amount undisclosed), the ruling frees every member of the 2016 campaign from the agreement, allowing 422 former employees to speak about their experiences without fear of violating their contract. (The order notes that during negotiations the Trump campaign voluntarily released those employees.) The legal muzzle the campaign placed on its employees was so sweeping that it was “invalid and unenforceable,” the judge ruled. Denson, who accused the Trump campaign of sexual discrimination, previously won a lawsuit focused on her personal NDA, then expanded the effort to include the full campaign.

And magats say President Biden has dementia...

On faux noise:
"Brian it's all coming through Iran -- and Obama doesn't want to talk about it," Trump said. "He doesn't even mention it in a statement. It's all coming through Iran."

Kilmeade interjected: "But you mean president Biden. So uh but right now--"

But Trump then continued to clarify that he indeed meant not only Biden but Obama as well.

"No I also mean Obama, I mean Biden," the former president said. "I mean Obama is Biden's boss."

Later:
"Brian it's all coming through Iran -- and Obama doesn't want to talk about it," Trump said. "He doesn't even mention it in a statement. It's all coming through Iran."

Kilmeade interjected: "But you mean president Biden. So uh but right now--"

But Trump then continued to clarify that he indeed meant not only Biden but Obama as well.

"No I also mean Obama, I mean Biden," the former president said. "I mean Obama is Biden's boss."

And finally: "Brian it's all coming through Iran -- and Obama doesn't want to talk about it," Trump said. "He doesn't even mention it in a statement. It's all coming through Iran."

And finally:
Kilmeade again tried to understand exactly what Trump was intending to get at with mentioning Obama as a president in absentia.

"This is just what your gut tells you, but you don't have any proof President Obama is calling the shots," Kilmeade told Trump.


I guess this is what happens to your mind when you are fed a diet of Adderall, diet coke, hamberders and conspiracy theories.
