If young adults can make permanent, major changes to their bodies, they can repay the money they borrowed to go to college.
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden announced plans to “forgive” $10,000-$20,000 of student loans, circumventing Congress while simultaneously violating the U.S. Constitution and federal law .
Not only is this plan illegal, as the president doesn’t have the authority to spend unappropriated money, but it is downright offensive to those of us who paid off our student loans. It is even more offensive that the same people who insist that young people shouldn’t be burdened by their outstanding loan balances tend to believe that young people have the capacity to fully consent to body mutilation and chemically induced sterilization.
Leftists have been whining about the “burden” of student loans for many years. Articles packed with anecdotes have told us how young men and women struggle with huge loan balances while working barely above minimum wage.
Covid may have thrown us all a curveball, but let’s get one thing straight: If you can get a fake penis made with a skin graft of your wrist at 18 (or younger, according to some), you can take care of your own loans. If 18-year-olds are mature enough to understand the long-term consequences of genital mutilation and wrong-sex hormones and are empowered to irreversibly disfigure themselves, they are mature enough to pay back their loans.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
