The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele had this to say on Twitter:

My Plan
The Biden administration is again pushing for free student loan money. This time, they are trying to make it income dependent. Keep in mind that SCOTUS has ruled that the President doesn’t have the power to forgive student loans, so he is trying to dictate payment terms.
Biden’s new Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan is setting repayment plans based on a debtholder’s income and family size. Under the income-driven repayment plan, many debtholders would pay $0 per month. Single wage earners would not pay any money until they make $40k or more a year, while a family of three would not repay any money unless they make $60k or more per year.
I have a better idea. We need to stop overeducating people for jobs that don’t require it. If a student:
- attends college using a student loan and fails to earn at least a 2 year degree within 4 years, they are not eligible for ANY public assistance, no refundable tax credits (including EIC), no further student loans, and all of their lottery winnings and tax refunds are forfeited to the loan servicer until their loan is repaid.
- earns a 2 year degree and makes less than an amount equal to $35k a year or twice the annual cost of attending that college (whichever is more), the college must refund all tuition paid, directly to the loan servicer.
- earns a 4 year degree and makes less than $40k a year or three times the annual cost of attending that college (whichever is more), the college has to refund all tuition paid- directly back to the loan servicer.
- 4 year degree and makes less than $50k a year or four times the annual cost of attending that college (whichever is more), the college has to refund half of all tuition paid.
Any tuition not refunded by the college must be repaid by the graduate, and the payment will be equal to 10% of their pretax salary until the loan plus interest is repaid.
My plan will have multiple effects- it will end useless degrees, will keep tuition under control, and will make colleges more selective in who gets admitted to college, unless they make arrangements to pay with funds other than student loans.

Wayne Must Need Cash
I have been a life member of the NRA for about 25 or 30 years now. It cost me $300 back then. Before that, I was a recurring annual member. So I will say that I was surprised to get this email:
I haven’t gotten my magazines in more than a decade. That doesn’t stop them from bombarding me with requests for money from the NRA-ILA. Apparently, they have lost my membership information. Or maybe Wayne LaPierre just needs to add to the $100 million or so that he has stolen already.
No thanks. There are other organizations that are actually doing stuff to protect my rights. I donate my cash to FPC, and they are using it to kick some ATF ass.

Beggar Nations
Mali and Burkina Faso have officially announced that they will declare war if Western-controlled nations invade Niger. No one has to invade Niger, Mali, or Burkina Faso. Just cut off all aid.
- Mali and Burkina Faso each have a GDP of $19 billion, but nearly ten percent of that is foreign aid.
- Niger is even worse off, with almost 20% of its GDP being foreign aid
In fact, each of those countries has relied upon foreign aid as their number one industry. Niger’s main export is Uranium, but nearly all of the proceeds from that are taken by its government. The remainder of the nation relies on subsistence farming.
Agricultural activities occupy 70% of Mali’s labor force and provide 42% of the GDP. The nation is an exporter of gold, but like Niger, the government takes all of the revenue from that.
Just cut off the financial aid, and they will be back to begging within a few weeks.

A discussion
I’m not the NRA, but I think that I can help you. I want to start with proving that the people are each and every individual who is a citizen of this country:
The first line of the Constitution says “We the People of the United States” so the collective people are the ones writing the Constitution. The very next paragraph begins with:
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People
So the people are the ones electing Representatives. Do they have a collective, or an individual right to elect representatives?
The people also have a right to assemble, as outlined in the First Amendment. Is that a collective, or an individual right? In the Fourth Amendment, we find the protection of the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
So now that we have established that the people are the ones who individually elect their representatives, peaceably assemble, and are secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, is there any possibility that the writers of the Constitution and its amendments meant for the Second Amendment to refer to a different meaning of people when they wrote “the right of the people to keep and bear arms?”
I know that it is all fashionable for the left to hang its hat on the prefatory clause about militias being necessary, but this argument has been hashed out tons of times. It’s really getting old, and this argument is nothing more than partisan bullshit.

Should Have Been Shot
You pick a fight with an armed man, you SHOULD get shot. When did we decide as a people that the attacker gets to define the rules of the engagement? That’s why so much of this crap happens. Not enough of the people who start crap pay the price for it.
EDIT: Apparently, we can’t show black people behaving badly on Twitter, or X, or whatever they are called. So here is a link to the video:

They Want to Kill You
The Root is a black news and opinion website. It bills itself as “Black News and Black Views with a Whole Lotta Attitude.” Do you want to know what black people are saying? Read this article, titled “Whiteness is a pandemic.“
White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it.
You say, “but he is talking about white supremacy, not white people.” Nope. Read his definition:
gentrification, to red-lining, to racial profiling, to gerrymandering, to voter oppression, to mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to the subprime mortgage crisis, to the vast disparities in both COVID deaths and who receives COVID vaccinations, to how the men and women who stormed the capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward.
- Gentrification is another word for “improving slums and making them livable.”
- Racial profiling? Guilty. When half of all violent crime is committed by 1/8 of the population, that’s where you concentrate your law enforcement efforts.
- COVID is racist?
- The jab was free to anyone who wanted it. How does blacks not getting the jab have anything to do with white people?
- .How many black people were killed at the Capitol? Zero.
He clearly wants whites to be the scapegoat for all that ails the black race. Including for the death of his mother. Was she murdered? He says that she was. No, she died of lung cancer cancer, but he says that, if his mother had been white, she would have lived. He comes right out and says it, that if his mother had been a white woman, she would have gotten better medical care and would still be alive. There is no way to reason with or talk to someone who is that biased and racist. He wants you dead because you are white, and are thus responsible for every bad thing that happens. To anyone, but especially to him, and his mother- who received a full ride scholarship to Carnegie Mellon University, thanks to white people and affirmative action.
He isn’t some unknown hack writer. Noe, Damon Young writes for the Washington Post, GQ, and the New York Times. He is a well known liberal member of the MSM. And he hates you.
Don’t you understand? There are people that have declared war on you, and you are at war, whether or not you know it, or want to be. He bitches about black people being killed by whites, but ignores the fact that 88% of black homicide victims are killed by other black people. (In fact, 49% of ALL homicide victims are killed by black people, but that is a discussion for another day.)

Women and Dating Today
Take a look at this:
About 20 years or so ago, I was in a SCUBA club. Organized through the local dive shop(LDS), we would book weekend trips to go diving. We would drive to South Florida, do a couple of dives, spend the night, do a couple of dives, then drive home. It was tradition to do a bit of dinner and drinking at the end of the first day.
It was during one of those dinners that I met a young lady who was employed at an Orlando area gentleman’s club. Yes, it’s what you are thinking- she was a stripper. During dinner, she mentioned that there was no way that she would sleep with a man until he had taken her on at least two expensive dates. Her exact words were “I am not about to give him any until he has spent at least $200 on me.”
Well, women like that piss me off, so I said: “Do I actually have to spend time listening to you talk, or will you just take a check?” while pulling out my checkbook. (That’s a book with special pieces of paper in them that you can take to the bank and exchange for money, for those of you born after 1998 or so.)
With that comment, the table went silent. When we got back to the hotel, my buddy David said, “I can’t believe you called that chick a whore.”
My reply: “I didn’t. She did. Just because she was willing to accept goods instead of cash doesn’t change the fact that she is having sex in exchange for things of value.”
Too many women plan dates on how they can get free meals, free drinks, and live a lavish lifestyle on a man’s dime, all while screaming that they deserve to make as much as a man does. Dating sucks, because men are suckers for this kind of woman, who likely is looking for a man to spend a couple of hundred bucks treating her to dinner and an evening’s entertainment.
Women like this have reduced relationships to a straight up barter exchange. They have no personalities and are bartering their youth and good looks in exchange for things like meals, cars, and even a lifestyle of living in a man’s home for free. They forget that they are worth as much as they ever will be, and their value on the market declines as they get older. There is always going to be someone younger and prettier, and since they have no personality and can’t carry on a conversation about anything more engaging than the latest Kardashian episode, are impossible to talk to. They can’t or won’t cook, clean, or help contribute to the household in any way. That is known in finance circles as a depreciating asset.
Now contrast that with most men. They are only going to increase in earning potential and value as they get older and more experienced in their careers. Why would a man want to be saddled with an asset that is declining in value while they themselves are gaining in wealth?
This is why marriage is dying. Too many women are greedy gold diggers who are useless for anything beyond their youth and good looks and will turn on you as soon as what they perceive is a better deal comes along to give them more money and stuff than you do. This is why I am glad that my wife is not one of those women. They are a rare find.
