President Trump has slammed the previous administration for “profiteering” on student loans, and has vowed to end the “student loans scam”.  In an interview with The Hill, Trump laid the blame on the student loan crisis firmly on the shoulders of the federal government – which he says will come to an end on his watch. “That’s probably one of the only things the government shouldn’t make money off. I think it’s terrible that one of the only profit centers we have is student loans,” he said.

California is officially one step closer to breaking away from the United States after documents were submitted to the Secretary of State that could trigger a public vote.  A group pushing for California to secede from the Union submitted proposals to the Secretary of State’s office on Thursday, which is likely to result in the plan being put on the ballot.

One of the best things is the fact that we can now say “President Trump.”  Fawning media pundits and those armies of liberals who worship propriety will use the term “president” to address his predecessor; however, he is just “Obama,” plain and simple.  It’s good to be rid of him.  Now the real work can be done.

After a pompous, liberal agenda was crammed down the throats of the American people during his first two years in office, President Obama suffered staggering losses in Congress for the next six years that cost Democrats control of both houses.  But, heavy Democrat losses, courtesy of an electorate that vehemently rejected a far-left agenda, didn't stop Obama from continuing to push through countless new rules and regulations from the White House all while pushing his authority to the brink of every Constitutional boundary known to man.
