Joe Biden just insulted every hard-working American who responsibly paid their student or children's student loans by granting an unconstitutional "student debt relief" for college-educated deadbeats. 

He also insulted every hard-working American who either chose not to go to college because it was prudent not to acquire debt or because they joined the workforce and instantly began to contribute to the American economy rather than be a hard-partying frat boy with a handout from the federal government to pay for next week's kegger. 

If you're not ticked off enough at Biden's cynical, political payout to a bunch of upwardly-mobile college grads making $125,000 per year, you'll really lose it when you discover the law he used to barely justify the legality of his illegal act. 

As Spencer detailed earlier today, he used a law that was enacted after the terror attacks of September 11: 

So, in 2003, as Americans answered the call to serve their country in the wake of the worst attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor, Congress took action to assist those willing to die for our nation while fighting terrorists abroad. Now, in 2022, Joe Biden is using the law to enact the wishes of socialist Democrats under the guise of COVID-19, a virus Biden promised he'd "shut down" while campaigning in 2020 and declared "independence" from last July. To call the situation enraging doesn't go far enough.

I'll add to Spencer's fury.  

Joe Biden just used the 9/11 HEROES Act to justify giving $10,000 in student loan relief to a bunch of people who could have had a free education had they joined the military after the terror attacks. Instead, they went to a liberal arts college, got a useless Art History degree, and now spend their time reading anti-American websites between adding foam to a Grande Latte. 

And the deepest cut of all is that he rationalized this unilateral act by claiming it was necessary due to the Covid-19 health emergency. You know, the Covid-19 health emergency he promised to eradicate during his campaign. You know, the Covid-19 health emergency he just declared over in May when he lifted Title 42 precautions at the border and let hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossers in. 

Yeah... that Covid-19 health emergency. 

The emergency is dire when he's giving away free money we don't have to college-educated Democrat voters, but it's non-existent when he's opening our border to illegal immigrant Democrat voters. 

All of this should piss you off. And I suspect it does. That's by design. 

Joe Biden wants all of us angry at each other. It's always been his politics. 

Look at his embarrassing behavior as a senator attempting to destroy the reputation of Judge Robert Bork so he could launch a pitiful campaign for president the next year. 

Look at the repeat performance he gave in 1991 during the Clarence Thomas hearings. 

Look at the loaded racial rhetoric he used when passing his 1994 crime bill. 

Look at his behavior in 2008 when he campaigned with Barack Obama and proclaimed that Americans who didn't pay more taxes weren't patriotic. Where he talked down about the war in Iraq... the war he voted for. 

Look at his rhetoric in 2012 when he told a black audience that Mitt Romney wanted to "put y'all back in chains."

And let's take an extended look at his atrocious 1988 presidential campaign. 

Everyone remembers that he plagiarized a speech, but they forget the contents of the speech he ripped off from British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. It was, ironically, about his college education and had the same kind of divisive, class warfare junk he used when announcing his loan plan. 

Kinnock: "Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?" 

Biden: "I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? Why is it that my wife, who is sitting out there in the audience, is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?" 

Dividing Americans over class, income, race, and education. It's been a hallmark of Biden's career. 

And as president, he's upped his game. 

From the Covid stimulus package to the Afghanistan pull-out to the accusations of "Jim Crow on Steroids" to the "Inflation Reduction Act" to this latest cynical move, the man who promised to unify our country has not hesitated once when given the opportunity to pass legislation or employ rhetoric that further divides us at every turn. 

The "college loan forgiveness" scam may be the most outrageous of them all. It divides us over income, class, education, work ethic, responsibility, race, and age. And it uses a post-9/11 law meant to help those suffering after the terror attacks while claiming the Covid-19 pandemic is still a national disaster even though he's ignored the danger of the virus with foreigners crossing our border illegally. 

Mr. Unity strikes again. 

Stay mad... and vote early.
