List of States That Might Tax Student Loan Debt Cancellation Dwindles
- By Jared Walczak - Tax Foundation
Note: This article was updated on August 30th to address recent state administrative determinations and correct errors in the preliminary analysis of states with the potential to tax student loan debt forgiveness.
President Biden’s announcement of student loan debt forgiveness is already raising many questions. How much will it cost? Who will benefit the most? How will it contribute to inflation? Does the president even have the legal authority to implement this loan forgiveness?
Here’s one more question to add to the mix: will states consider student loan forgiveness a taxable event? In some states, the answer could be yes.
As a general rule, a discharge of indebtedness counts as income and is taxable, as my colleague Will McBride explains. Under § 9675 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), however, the forgiveness of student loan debt between 2021 and 2025 does not count toward federal taxable income. States which follow the federal treatment here will likewise exclude debt forgiveness from their own state income tax bases. But, for a variety of reasons, not every state does that. There are at least six relevant interactions with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for purposes of the treatment of student loan debt cancellation. States could:

Third Safe Haven "Lily Pad" Completed for Foster Youth in Spartanburg County
- By Press Release
Lily Pad: A Soft Place to Land, Inc. is excited to announce the completion of a third “Lily Pad” space designed specifically for area foster youth. Volunteers transformed a large space inside of the Spartanburg Department of Social Services office building that will serve children in a variety of ways. Children awaiting a foster placement will spend time in this new Lily Pad, comfortably doing homework, reading, playing games and even spending the night, should the need arise. When an immediate foster placement is unavailable, children often spend their days – and sometimes their nights – inside of DSS offices on air mattresses.

Election Fraud Update: Pennsylvania Steps Up the Steal
- By Kat Stansell - American Policy Center
As we have been reporting, the Electronic Registration Information Center, (ERIC) adds millions of ineligible names to the voter rolls of its member states, under the guise of voter roll maintenance. However, the voter rolls of every ERIC state are very bloated – transparently so. See the numbers.
A condition of ERIC membership, as you may already know, is to solicit as many people as possible in order to register them to vote. The names which the state must contact, come from a data base provided by ERIC’s huge artificial intelligence system – which conjoins millions, including non-citizens, green card holders and others who are ineligible. That is fact.
How Science Relates to the Study of the Past
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
How good science is at studying the past is a central point to the discussion of origins. One of the primary assumptions made by evolutionists is that the past can be studied and understood as easily as the present functioning of the universe can. They seem to think that the same degree of certainty can be obtained about the present functioning of the universe and its past. They do this by ignoring the fact that while we can see how the universe operates today, we cannot observe the past. This means that studying the past requires a lot of philosophical assumptions to be applied when interpreting evidence.
U.S. Postal Service Versus the Christian Sabbath: Former Mailman Appeals to Supreme Court
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Few places embody America’s pluralistic ideal better than Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Amish heartland, where the religious sect known for its uncompromising way of life coexists side-by-side with a broad spectrum of modern American beliefs and sentiments. Yet, in a strange twist, this richly tolerant farm country is the setting for the latest case of the federal government’s persistent incomprehension of Christianity.
Former U.S. Postal Service employee Gerald Groff resigned his position in January 2019 and sued for discrimination because of his firm conviction against working on Sunday, the Christian Sabbath. After losing in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2021, and then in the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 2022, he and his lawyers at First Liberty Institute appealed last week to the Supreme Court, asking the court to overturn a 1977 precedent that they argue “gutted” Title VII’s protections for religious accommodations in employment “in dicta utterly divorced from the statutory text.”
Government the Problem, Not Solution, on College Costs
- By Star Parker
http://eljimadorrestaurante.net/No sooner had President Joe Biden announced his plan for student loan debt forgiveness -- $10,000 for non-Pell grant recipients and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients -- the president of the NAACP was complaining that it should be more than twice as much. At least $50,000.
Brookings Institution scholar Andre M. Perry echoed the sentiment.
The plan, according to Perry, "does not go far enough in addressing the root of the problem: a postsecondary education system that has seen tuition rise three-fold in the last 30 years. That same system will put future borrowers in peril."

Black Betrayal: Pied Pipers of Self Destruction
- By Pastor Stephen Broden, Executive Director, Content of Character Series
Tracy Abrams's recent rant that abortion is biblical is another example of how willing black leaders are to throw the community under the bus to achieve their selfish ambitions.
Nothing in the pages of the Holy Scriptures justifies the murder of innocent life. To abort a baby is the murder of innocent life by any definition. A baby is a person distinct from the mother who carries it in her womb. Often pro-abortionist scream, "my body my choice" however, the baby is not the mother's body. The gender of the baby may be different from the mother's, hair, eyes, and body type may be different from the mother. Indeed, the baby's fingerprints are different. Science indicates that the baby and the mother are distinct persons. So, why is Abrams lying to the community about abortion and conflating healthcare with the murder of babies?
Legal, Scientific Defeats for 'Gender-Affirming' Procedures
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Twelve years after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law, we’re still finding out what’s in it. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Friday upheld a permanent injunction preventing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from enforcing a requirement that hospitals “perform gender-reassignment surgeries or abortions” against Franciscan Alliance, a Catholic hospital network of nearly 19,000 health care professionals, because doing so would be “in violation of its sincerely held religious beliefs.”
ERIC – the Epicenter of Voter Fraud
- By Kat Stansell - American Policy Center
The American Policy Center has been kicking over rocks in the election fraud jungle for the better part of the last year. ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center is under every one, buried in the slime of intransigence, ignorance, and plausible deniability.
Most state officials choose to defend or ignore it. Even some supposed “conservatives” want to wash over the truth. This MUST stop. America MUST recognize ERIC for what it is – the epicenter of the voter fraud in the nation today.
Since early February, 2022, we at the APC have been reporting on ERIC. I personally have written six articles on election integrity, showing what ERIC is and what it does, as well as what we can do about it. I have learned a tremendous amount from experts along the way. My writings are listed at the end of this article.
The Dumbest Union Ever
- By Stephen Moore
In September 2020, at the first presidential debate between him and President Donald Trump, Democratic nominee Joe Biden infamously declared, "Nobody's going to build another coal-fired power plant in America" if he won the White House against Trump.
Even with comments like this, the United Mine Workers of America endorsed Biden for president. It was a head-scratcher, for sure.
Biden and the Democrats hate coal, and they hate mining. Their endgame agenda is to put every miner in America out of a job. The Biden Interior Department is vetoing most mining permit applications.

Russians Ramping Up Major Campaign in Ukraine
- By Mike Scruggs
Combined Air, Rocket, and Artillery Attacks
On August 27, the Russian Federation Defense Ministry announced completion of major combined air, rocket, and artillery attacks against Ukrainian forces, It was led by Russian Air Force bombing and major rocket and artillery forces bombardment on key Ukrainian military positions. The fact that the Russian Air Force led such a significant combined attack is strongly indicative that the Russians are launching a major campaign to defeat and drive out Ukrainian forces in Eastern and Southern Ukraine. All information in war is subject to emotional bias, distortion, and perpetrated deception. A Sherlock Holmes approach to interpretation is advised.
At Least 13 U.S. Hospitals Perform Gender Transition Surgeries on Minors
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
After Libs of TikTok exposed the Boston Children’s Hospital last week for performing gender transition surgeries on minors, the hospital rushed to contain the fallout, revising its website to remove the evidence. Leftist media organizations pitched in, with formerly credible news organizations running “fact checks” debunking the claim and articles designed to twist the narrative into one about “threats” made against the hospital, rather than the outrageous behavior that provoked them. Facebook also piled on, permanently suspending Libs of TikTok without warning or explanation. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics went into damage control mode.
History Does Teach Us To Hope
- By W.H. Lamb
Those of you who have read my “ancient” columns in the now “extinct” print copy version of The Times Examiner (from 1999 to July, 2018), and in its digital version since July of 2018, know how much I love classical music. But as I’ve said several times, I also enjoy other genres of music, particularly the “Big Band” music of the 1930’s and 1940’s (Glenn Miller—oh yeah), Dixie Land jazz, the music and songs of George and Ira Gershwin, the music of Sigmund Romberg, and especially much of the wonderful music of Rogers and Hammerstein from their great Broadway musicals over many years; and I adore the “old-timey” music of George M. Cohan, that “Yankee Doodle Dandy” who wrote hundreds of great songs for his musicals over the decades that stretched over the first half of the 20th century. And I love the music of the Christian Church, which is a musical genre all its own. All of this glorious music was written during “the good old days when music was musical”. Too bad that it isn’t so in our day and age.
SC Joins National Battles Over ESG Power Plays
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
South Carolina is among a group of states investigating a major investment management and ratings company for potential violations connected to liberal environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities, The Nerve has confirmed.
Last week, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced that 18 other state attorneys general had joined his state’s investigation of Chicago-based Morningstar Inc. and its subsidiary, Sustainalytics.
“These ESG investing firms are playing politics with pensions and real people’s livelihoods,” Schmitt said in a prepared statement.
The release didn’t identify the 18 other states. In a written statement last week to The Nerve, Robert Kittle, spokesman for Republican S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson, said the S.C. Attorney General’s Office “signed onto that,” though he declined further comment, citing the pending investigation and referring The Nerve to Schmitt’s release.

Congress’s Push for an Article V Convention is Naïve
- By Eagle Forum
The country’s distrust of the federal government is not a new sentiment. For decades, massive spending and unchecked powers of the White House and Congress have put a strain on our economy and pocketbooks. Not only has the bureaucracy gotten more powerful, but also more politicized. While Eagle Forum shares the frustrations and tirelessly works to mend the divisive nature of our national politics, one naïve “solution” continues to be advocated in both the states and in Congress: an Article V Constitutional Convention (Con-Con), also known as a Convention of the States (COS) or a Convention for Proposing Amendments (CPA).

7 Ways Biden's Student Loan Bailout Is Immoral
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he will force U.S. taxpayers to bail out college students for up to $20,000 of student loan debt and further reduce repayments — a policy that sounds superficially compassionate but which victimizes the innocent, rewards the guilty, and violates biblical morality in a plethora of ways. Here are the first seven that come to mind:
1. It incentivizes the bad behavior of borrowers. The Bible tells us to fulfill our promises, but Biden’s new program encourages Americans to renege on their legal obligations. When the news of Biden’s student loan policy broke, Claremont Institute Lincoln Fellow and Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham responded by tweeting two Bible verses:
- “The wicked borrows and does not pay back” (Psalm 37:21); and
- “It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay” (Ecclesiastes 5:5).
