The "Government" is hiring. A great sign on bonus, also.
The U.S. has approved more than $42 billion in federal student loan debt forgiveness for more than 615,000 borrowers in the past 18 months as part of a program aimed at getting more people to work in public service jobs, the U.S. Department of Education said this week.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is open to teachers, librarians, nurses, public interest lawyers, military members and other public workers. It cancels a borrower’s remaining student debt after 10 years of public interest work, or 120 monthly payments.
The program is separate from President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan, which would wipe away or reduce loans for millions of borrowers regardless of what field they work in. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering whether that plan can go ahead.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, known as PSLF, was launched in 2007, but stringent rules meant that more than 90% of applicants were rejected, the Department of Education said in 2019.

Ann Coulter: Revealed! Nikki Haley's Husband and His Djibouti Call
Here are some debate questions for Nikki Haley, who is surging in the polls thanks to Republican mega-donors.
www.breitbart.com
Don‘t always agree with Ann Coulter but she nails it regarding Nikki Haley.
“Will Republicans ever rebel against the execrable primary debates foisted on us every four years? Vetting presidential candidates is one of our most important civic duties, but the Republican National Committee offshores the job to journalists who pretend to be neutral -- the better to slay Republicans on behalf of the Democrats -- and inject themselves into the proceedings, a la Candy Crowley correcting Mitt Romney when Romney was right and her correction was wrong. (Three hundred more examples upon request.) Moderators consider any debate a failure when they haven’t done 90% of the talking.
Despite my repeated demand for presidential debates with no moderators, like Lincoln and Douglas did, the worst possible people keep popping up to host these events, making them a total waste of time, like a David Brooks column.
I’m a very busy person, but as a public service, I have written a series of questions for the useless wastes of space “moderating” this week’s Republican debate. Perhaps not as riveting as questions from a talking snowman about global warming, but still pretty good.
Today, my questions will focus on Nikki Haley, who is surging in the polls principally because, as my regular readers know, Republican mega-donors are the most out of touch, head-up-their-butts twits the country has to offer. (Just ask Presidents Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Phil Gramm.)
Here are a few of the questions that need to be answered:
1. Ambassador Haley, you mention your husband’s military service often, and by “often,” I mean “on a 5-second loop.” In nearly every public appearance, you say some variation of this:
[Read with feeling]
“Our family, like every military family, is ready to make personal sacrifices when our loved one answers the call. We could not be prouder of Michael and his military brothers and sisters. Their commitment to protecting our freedom is a reminder of how blessed we are to live in America.”
Your husband’s first deployment was to Afghanistan in 2013, to teach Afghans to grow crops other than opium. This did not have the slightest effect, and today, the country is growing more opium than before your husband’s deployment.
Please explain how trying to teach Afghans to grow crops other than opium, which led to their growing even more opium, “protect[ed] our freedom.”
2. In fact, explain how getting Afghans to grow less opium would have “protect[ed] our freedom” -- even if it had worked. Which, again, it did not.
3. I realize there’s an excellent reason for sending billions upon billions of hard-earned American dollars around the globe to people who hated us before, hate us after, and which never accomplishes the stated objective, but please remind us what it is.
4. Exactly how much money should we confiscate from the American people to spend on countries notable for not being our country? My number is zero. What’s yours? We’re looking for a specific figure, not a seminar on foreign aid.
5. Your husband is currently making us safer in Djibouti, Africa, a place obviously top of mind for most Americans.
Our mission there is vital and only the most obtuse would mock it. According to the Defense Department, American military exercises there consist of keeping the locals entertained with art bazaars, Ramadan meals and field trips:
-- "U.S. service members who deploy to [Djibouti] engage with our allies and Djiboutian partners through hosted events and volunteer opportunities in the community." -- Navy Capt. Suzanne J.M. Krauss, commanding officer.
-- It’s "a really lovely thing" to see U.S. personnel engaging the community in such positive ways. -- Acting Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Mara Karlin
-- “For the past 16 years, the base has hosted a biannual bazaar that connects U.S. military members with Djiboutians through art.” -- U.S. Department of Defense
Please explain to voters, who lack a nuanced understanding of strategic objectives, how this posting “protect our country and our freedoms”?
6. Now, obviously, as crucial as it is, we can’t spend all of our military budget on Djiboutian art bazaars, Ramadan meals and field trips. Equally important is paying the military, agriculture, policing, educational, retirement and civil service expenses for the country of Ukraine.
You have warned congressional Republicans that to stop the flow of taxpayer money to that country, on top of the $100 billion we’ve already sent, could cause Ukraine to lose the war.
If that should that happen, which of these is your greatest fear:
-- Millions of poverty-stricken Africans and Latin Americans will pour into Ukraine within three years;
-- One hundred thousand Ukrainians will die every year from drugs brought across its borders, including enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman and child several times over;
-- Tens of thousands of children will be smuggled in and forced to work at dangerous jobs on 17-hour, overnight shifts;
-- Hundreds of terrorists will stream into Ukraine each year.
7. Who is the campaign consultant to female presidential candidates convincing you, Fiorina and Hillary Clinton that to be taken seriously as a possible commander in chief, you have to be Suzy Warmonger, constantly threatening to start wars all over the world?

NYC tolerates lots of things on subways, robbers, murders, crazy people, muggers, etc..
But they don't tolerate people standing up to the criminals. NOPE, you'll get robbed and you will like it. The hero, labeled as a vigilante and gunman; probably saved the woman's life. One thing NYC hates, is when you stop crime.
"He fired off a first shot then began shouting as he approached the attacker before firing a second time and charging towards the incident.
'I want to be clear, we don't tolerate this kind of conduct in NYC Transit, period,' said City Transit President Richard Davey after the arrest."

The suspected homeless robber has been identified as Matthew Roesch, 49, and has been charged with attempted robbery.
Officials believe he was trying to 'forcibly' snatch a 40-year-old woman's belongings last night.
At that moment, the suspected gunman intervened and fired shots at Roesch, according to officials.

I think you are missing the larger picture.
What else was on the ballot.
Weed.
Who wants weed, it is not women, it is the product of our education system. What else does our education system teach and how it views abortion.
That is your answer. Hopefully one day you might see that, your hate is making you blind.
Sounds like mayor FAFO for ''environmental'' protestors

From the article:
"John Rote, 43, was seized at his Manhattan workplace after a tip-off from a friend who recognized him as the portly gunman who intervened when a woman was attacked at Times Square on Tuesday."
Two lessons learned here:
(1) Be very careful who you choose to be a friend.
(2) If you are going to travel on public transit, whether armed or not, wear a disguise.

After running a 40 point spread sheet of Pros and Cons with each, I would vote for Ann because I would rather look at her lying to me from the Oval Office than Nikki.
Nikki might could be cute in certain circumstances but I don't trust her to make good decisions for our Republic.

This will be reversed when the leftists order the full panel to ignore the law and rule as they are ordered by their party overlords. Then it will go to the supreme court and be overturned yet again in a ruling that no court or state legislature will follow. This country is no longer ruled by laws and the Constitution is no longer the law of the land. With Communists and their friends firmly in control at the DOJ, FBI and DOD our government is under the control of oligarchs and countries that intend to do us harm.
As soon as they can disarm 90% of law abiding citizens they will fire up the crematoriums and death camps and start the "reeducation process" that they have made famous over the last 125 years. The new rail system Biden has them working on will have one use and that will be to get as many white people as possible processed for disposal and reduced to ash.
All you really have to do is replace the word "Jew" with "Republican", "gun owner", "Christian" or "taxpayer" and follow this story line.
Thank you... I was not asking a "trick question". I get better feed back here than on Internet news.
