From National Review, President Biden cancels $4.5 billion more of student loan debt.

From FrontpageMag, the strange and mythological presidential campaign of Vice President Harris.

From Townhall, the woke mob comes for two Canadians who started a Taiwanese boba tea company.

From The Washington Free Beacon, Israel confirms that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been sent to his virgins.

From MRCTV, a teenage illegal alien gang member arrested 10 times is finally sent to jail.

From NewsBusters, CNN correspondent Brian Stelter calls the aforementioned Bret Baier "a Trump surrogate".

From Canada Free Press, voting this year by facts, not feelings.  (I'm reminded of the admonition often given by right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro, "facts don't care about your feelings".  While I agree with him, I also realize that the reverse is also true, as in feelings don't care about your facts.)

From ReMix, Poland's baby bust is the worst in Europe.  (As a descendant of many Polish babies, who grew up to have their own babies, I find this development to be quite alarming.)
