[HEADING=2]Beloved Motorcycle Company Announces Bad News as Sales Plunge[/HEADING]
Jessica McBride

On May 1, 2025, [Harley-Davidson reported ]('https://investor.harley-davidson.com/news/news-details/2025/Harley-Davidson-Delivers-First-Quarter-Financial-Results/default.aspx')that global motorcycle retail sales were "down 21 percent year-over-year, driven by a volatile macroeconomic environment and overall consumer uncertainty."

The company noted that Harley-Davidson Motor Company revenue was "down 27 percent year-over-year, primarily due to a planned decrease in motorcycle shipments."

As a result, Harley-Davidson wrote, "Due to the uncertain global tariff situation and macroeconomic conditions, we are withdrawing our full year 2025 financial outlook from February 5, 2025."

The move comes after the [Department of Education]('https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/education') said last month that it is trying to protect U.S. taxpayers "from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education."

"American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement. "The Biden Administration misled borrowers: the executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear."

The [Department of Education said]('https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-begin-federal-student-loan-collections-other-actions-help-borrowers-get-back-repayment') its "Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) will resume collections of its defaulted federal student loan portfolio on Monday, May 5th," after not doing so since March 2020, which was the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Today, 42.7 million borrowers owe more than $1.6 trillion in student debt," according to the Department. "More than 5 million borrowers have not made a monthly payment in over 360 days and sit in default -- many for more than 7 years -- and 4 million borrowers are in late-stage delinquency (91-180 days). As a result, there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months."

[SIZE=5]"All borrowers in default will receive email communications from FSA ... urging them to contact the Default Resolution Group to make a monthly payment, enroll in an income-driven repayment plan, or sign up for loan rehabilitation," the Department added. "Later this summer, FSA will send required notices beginning administrative wage garnishment." [/SIZE]

*"President Donald Trump, a little more than 100 days after taking the oath of office, questioned whether he had a duty to uphold the Constitution and the Fifth Amendment right to due process as he expressed frustration on judicial pushback to his mass deportation effort.

During a [wide-ranging interview]('https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/read-full-transcript-president-donald-trump-interviewed-meet-press-mod-rcna203514') with NBC News "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker, Trump was asked if he agreed with Secretary of State Marco Rubio that citizens and noncitizens alike are entitled to due process.

"I don't know," Trump responded. "I'm not a lawyer. I don't know."

He swore on a bible when he was inaugurated to uphold the Constitution.

You're not going to fix decades of corporate/government abuse of trade for profit in one presidential term. Probably would take ten to fifteen years if we stay focused. Which I promise you isn't going to happen as soon as another bought swamp-rat gets in office.

But hey, it's okay if we terminally sabotage the American people for a quick buck as long as I got mine, right? .

You know, I don't think you're a stupid guy, but it's amazing how you keep buying in to these media traps.

They want to shame Trump for his deportations, so they latch on to a mistake (like the government never does that) and try to manipulate the question of whether the process was correct into him bypassing the Constitution. Obviously the answer to "Do you have to uphold the Constitution?" is yes. But in their spin the question is "Does a bureaucratic mistake mean you're violating your oath of office?" To which a good answer is basically "I'm not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV. That's why we have lawyers to handle the law."

Naturally the trap is there's no winning answer with the media. If he answers the broad constitutional question with yes they'll cast it as he's knowingly violating his oath of office. If he gives the answer he gave, he has no clue about the constitution.

Lose/lose for him, but win/win for the media and your TDS.

Nothing to see here folks.

Move along.....

Move along.....

Media Trap??

They asked him a question. That was his answer. You can spin it anyway you want to - but - that was his reply.

He's ignoring Court Orders. That's not only wrong - as it violates the oath he swore on a bible to during his inauguration. To uphold the Constitution but also validates his answer to the question that was asked.

and yes.........................

*"he has no clue about the constitution."

As well as most things..*

Well, guess what? There's a legal procedure to contest that.

Or don't you believe in due process?
