Guy Sparks Debate With Viral Hack For Getting Around Paying Back His Student Loans
Jun 14, 2025
Getting a college education is more expensive than ever before, but the one thing that's more expensive than the tuition itself is the cost of paying back student loans.
TikToker @thenormajeane5 believes he may have unlocked the code, however, to put off paying student loans forever if a person is willing to continue with their education.
To avoid paying back his student loans, the TikToker is in the process of earning his doctorate degree, but then he plans to continue "going to school for the rest of his life."
As long as a student is enrolled in at least six credit hours of college courses, they are not required to pay on their student loans, and depending on the kind of loan they received, it might also not accrue interest while they're in school, either.
Even with his doctorate degree, the TikToker plans to continue learning and possibly earning other degrees while going to school part-time. He estimates that it will only cost $2000 per year to pay for those classes and supplies out of pocket, instead of paying on his student loans and interest.
You can watch the video here:
@thenormajeane5 For legal purporses this is SATIRE: I’m never going to pay back those student loans. - don’t get me wrong I know it’s inevitable and I hope to be in a better place in the future I guess.
Fellow TikTokers were intrigued by the concept, with some eager to try it out.

There were some skeptical viewers, however, who found it "irresponsible" to not pay back the student loans that had been requested, while others expected the "loophole" to be closed at some point.
The TikToker did not miss a beat, however, pointing out that he was not using a loophole but rather observing the rules of the education system, which simply ask a student to attend school part-time to avoid paying on their student loans, without pointing out how many credit hours in the grand scheme of things are acceptable.
As for being "irresponsible," this sounds more like continuing education, and especially with the world being the way it is right now, it seems like more education would only serve to add tools to a person's toolbox, especially if they do something related to agriculture or another field that's directly impacted by the current political climate.

Beyoncé's win divides Grammys
Jun 13, 2025
The Recording Academy is splitting its Best Country Album into two categories after Beyoncé’s historic win at the 67th Grammy Awards for Cowboy Carter made her the first Black woman to receive the honor.
At the 2025 ceremony, Beyoncé also won Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus, and Album of the Year for her first full album in the country genre, making her the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, with a total of 35 wins.
Yesterday, Variety announced that the Grammys will conveniently be dividing their country album awards into the categories of Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Traditional Country Album. This is not the first time Beyoncé's success has led to the expansion of award categories.
Her highly acclaimed album Renaissance led to the Academy expanding its pop and dance awards to now include Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance Pop Recording. The 2023 album won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, Best R&B Song, Best Traditional R&B Song, and Best Dance/Electronic Recording, but lost Album of the Year to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House.
In the release of the 2026 Grammys rulebook, the CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr., gave the following statement:
“The Academy’s top priority is to represent the music people that we serve each year. That entails listening carefully to our members to make sure our rules and guidelines reflect today’s music and allow us to accurately recognize as many deserving creators as possible.”
Despite the changes, Beyoncé’s musical and commercial success has influenced certain award committees to either ignore or snub her music as “not genre-friendly,” while conveniently changing the rules and overlooking the long history of awarding more genre-friendly white artists than any other group.
And despite being nominated by the Grammys, Cowboy Carter was not even nominated by the 2024 Country Music Awards, while rapper and singer Post Malone earned his first-ever CMA nominations with Morgan Wallen for the song “I Had Some Help.”
Beyoncé wrote that feeling unwelcome during her 2016 duet of “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks at the CMA awards inspired her to create Cowboy Carter:
“It [Cowboy Carter] was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me.”
But the 2026 changes to the Grammys will not break the genre-breaking singer’s soul as Beyoncé continues her sold-out Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour, debuting at an impressive $55 million and over 1.2 million tickets bought across 25 shows. Currently touring in Europe, the tour makes Beyoncé the highest-grossing female artist in history to sell out a single venue.
No wonder committees are trying to change the rules…
And the internet had a lot to say about the Grammys’ changes to the country album:
The 2026 Grammy Awards are scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 1, in the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Beyonce’s third act album has yet to be announced, but I’m sure the award committees will respond accordingly with new genre categories.

Dem Rep. Unloads On GOP Colleague In NSFW Rant On House Floor Over Padilla Incident
Jun 13, 2025
New York Democratic Representative John Mannion criticized his Republican colleague Mike Lawler, telling him to "get some f**king balls" during a blowup confrontation on the House floor after California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference and handcuffed.
Padilla said he had "questions for the secretary" at Noem's press conference addressing President Donald Trump's deployment of members of the National Guard, and later the Marines, to stop protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration's immigration raids.
Footage of the incident shows that Noem spoke over Padilla; he was then taken into a hallway and pushed face down onto the ground by officers wearing FBI vests, who ordered him to put his hands behind his back before handcuffing him.
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Earlier, Mannion attracted attention outside the U.S. Capitol when he shouted at members of the media to "hold them [the Trump administration] accountable," urging them not to "cover the distractions ... that lead us to authoritarianism." And later, as Lawler, Mannion's fellow New Yorker, spoke to another colleague, Mannion demanded Lawler take action.
He said:
"This is f**kng madness, man. We’ve had enough. You've got to do something. Stand up. F**king get over there and get some f**king balls.'"
“Tell them. Tell them. You know who I am. You know who I am, a New Yorker just like you. The country’s falling apart.”
Lawler was defensive:
"F*** you ... I have no idea what you're talking about."
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Lawler later called Mannion’s conduct “entirely unhinged and unprofessional," saying Mannion had engaged in "a shameful display that exposed his complete lack of temperament."
Mannion’s office issued a statement defending his actions, citing Padilla’s arrest and the recent immigration raids as part of the Trump administration’s push to fulfill its pledge of mass deportations:
“I’m a kid from Tipp Hill that’s fighting for my hometown and my country. I’m giving everything I have to stop the rise of authoritarian government and the destruction of American democracy."
"If making some noise on the House floor and calling out Trump enablers draws attention to what’s happening to our country right before our eyes — good. Today it’s roughing up and handcuffing a United States Senator and a politicized military patrolling the streets of American cities.”
Many have come to Mannion's defense and criticized Lawler in response.
A senior House Democrat who spoke to Axios said the House is "on edge" and that "this floor is raw ... People think they are going to come in and arrest people on the floor."
Speaker Mike Johnson was heckled by Democrats when he made remarks in support of censuring Padilla. Johnson declined to respond when asked about the outbursts; he had been accused of lying and making the "absurd" suggestion that Padilla's manhandling was justified.
Johnson told reporters that "the American people can draw their own conclusions" and claimed Padilla had been "wildly inappropriate."

Cole Escola Shuts Down Speculation Around Their Joke About Nicole Scherzinger's Tony Win
Jun 13, 2025
Actor Cole Escola has spoken out about the controversy that was sparked when they made a silly, innocent political joke at the Tonys on Sunday.
Escola, the genius behind the Broadway hit Oh, Mary!, made history Sunday when they became the first nonbinary actor to win the award for Leading Actor in a Play.
While speaking in the press room, it was announced that Nicole Scherzinger had just won a Tony for her headlining performance in Sunset Boulevard, and Escola, ever the quick wit, quipped, "Wow, four more years."
It was a silly reference to presidential elections that made light of the Tonys as if they were a weightier matter than they are, and got quite a laugh from the press room.
But because we live in such politically volatile times, many immediately jumped to conclusions and assumed Escola was dragging Scherzinger for her political views following an earlier incident online that many construed as her supporting Donald Trump.
But in a social media video, Escola confirmed that their joke was not a jab at Scherzinger or anyone else's politics, and that everyone should lighten up.
Escola explained the joke in the video:
“When I made that joke ... when I said, ‘Four more years, four more years,’ I meant it like, ‘Well, she won, she’s who we’ve got for the next four years,’ as if I think winning Best Lead Actress in a Musical is the same as winning a presidential election."
They went on to say:
"But you know, people just want to pit us Broadway gals against each other, and I think it’s sad. I really think it’s sad.”
On social media, people had lots to say about Escola's response—and especially people's inability to take a joke these days.
The controversy seems to be related to one last fall in which Scherzinger seemed to comment in support of a bizarre post by far-right conspiracy theorist and comedian Russell Brand in which he wore a MAGA-style hat reading "Make Jesus First Again."
People quickly jumped to the frankly obvious conclusion that Scherzinger was coming out as a Trump supporter, an assumption she was quick to clarify had not occurred to her and did not reflect who she is.
She wrote at the time:
“Many presumptions are being drawn, which do not reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who I voted for."
"Many of the marginalized communities feeling hurt and concerned by the results of the presidential election are people I care about most."
"I stand with them, as I always have, throughout my life and career. If you know me, you know that.”
She and Escola were also photographed together at the TonyS, indicating no bad blood between these "Broadway gals."

Dem Senator Speaks Out After He Was Thrown To Ground And Handcuffed For Questioning Kristi Noem At LA Press Conference
Jun 13, 2025
California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla spoke out after disturbing footage showed him getting dragged out of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles yesterday for trying to ask a question—only for law enforcement to shove him to the ground and handcuff him.
Padilla introduced himself and merely said he had "questions for the secretary" at Noem's press conference addressing President Donald Trump's deployment of members of the National Guard, and later the Marines, in response to protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration's immigration raids.
At the time, Noem said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), its agencies, and the military "will continue to sustain and increase our operations in this city" in order to "liberate" it "from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor [Gavin Newsom] and that this mayor [Karen Bass] have placed on this country."
The video shows that Noem spoke over Padilla when he tried to question her and that he was taken into a hallway and pushed face down onto the ground by officers wearing FBI vests, who ordered him to put his hands behind his back before handcuffing him.
You can watch the footage of the incident below.
Speaking to reporters after the incident, Padilla affirmed the right of people to "protest peacefully" and said, in part:
"I was there peacefully. At one point, I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed. I was not arrested. I was not detained."
"If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, and day laborers in the Los Angeles community, throughout California, and throughout the country."
"We will hold this administration accountable."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
According to the Secret Service, agents spoke with Padilla following the incident and concluded he had no intention of harming Noem. They also arranged a brief interaction between the two. But in a subsequent interview on Fox News, Noem gave a different version of events, inaccurately claiming that Padilla never identified himself before his removal.
She said:
"We were conducting a press conference to update everyone on the enforcement actions that are ongoing to bring people, bring peace, to the city of Los Angeles, and this man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice, and was stopped, did not identify himself, and was removed from the room."
Padilla was openly emotional during a subsequent interview with NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff, lamenting the actions of the Trump administration that have directly targeted immigrants—undocumented and legal ones alike:
"I understand their plight. I understand their struggle. I understand their sacrifice to just find the American dream, a good opportunity, maybe a good job, the ability to raise a family, and have the next generation have it a little bit better than you did."
“All the talk about immigration, you know, the — the misinformation, disinformation about, you know, invasions and insurrections, it’s all B.S. coming from Trump. ... If all they were going to do is target violent, dangerous criminals, true threats to our national security, that’d be one thing. Nobody has a disagreement there."
"What’s happening in practice is so many — yes, undocumented — immigrants, but who are otherwise law-abiding, peaceful and hardworking, to think this administration changed policy for federal agents to enter schools, houses of worship, let alone workplaces? If immigrants are that bad, why is that where you’re looking for them?”
Padilla also called Noem's claims that he "lunged" at her "ridiculous," saying it's a "lie ... that's par for the course for this administration" before adding:
“At one point, it was just too much to take. This notion that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have to come in and rescue the people of Los Angeles from Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass? It was too much. And so I spoke up. I introduced myself and said I had a question.”
“If this can happen to a United States senator for having the audacity to ask a question of the Secretary of Homeland Security, then just imagine what can happen to anybody in the country.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.

Many have condemned the Trump administration in response.
The administration's response to Padilla comes amid a wave of arrests targeting Democratic officials over immigration-related disputes.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested last month for alleged trespassing at a New Jersey ICE facility, though the charges were later dropped. Baraka has since filed a lawsuit against interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba and Homeland Security Investigations official Ricky J. Patel.
Meanwhile, New Jersey Representative LaMonica McIver was indicted this week on federal charges connected to the same encounter with law enforcement.
Former Trump immigration official Tom Homan, now serving as the administration’s “border czar,” has also floated the possibility of arresting California leaders Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass if they obstruct federal agents.
