Many parents were thrilled to have hundreds of dollars suddenly land in their bank accounts last week, as the Internal Revenue Service distributed the first of six monthly child tax credit payments. This is the first time the child tax credit is being paid out on a monthly basis. When lawmakers beefed up the credit as part of the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package in the spring, they opted to provide half of it this year to help parents with their monthly expenses, including housing, food, clothing and school supplies. Families will get the other half when they file...

In this May 17, 2019, file photo, Michael Drake answers questions during an interview in Columbus, Ohio. University of California regents on Thursday, July 22, will take up a multi-year tuition increase proposal that officials say is needed to keep campuses competitive, increase aid for low-income students and give families some financial predictability. The office of UC President Michael Drake said that an accompanying increase in financial aid would more than offset increases in tuition. Only students whose families earn $150,000 a year or more would benefit from keeping tuition flat, it said, whereas everyone else would benefit from...

This is a small clip on Tucker Carlson yesterday with Charlie Kirk. Make no mistake CNN is State Run news. Charlie Kirk was accidentally sent an email from CNN with this week’s talking points about “pushing the vaccine.”https://twitter.com/EdwinVcity/status/1418081485450616840

CNN — Mississippi's attorney general told the Supreme Court on Thursday that Roe v. Wade was "egregiously wrong" and should be overturned as she urged the justices to allow a controversial law that bars most abortions after 15 weeks to go into effect. "The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition" state Attorney General Lynn Fitch told the justices in a new brief, launching the opening salvo in the most important abortion-related dispute the court has heard in decades. Fitch said that the case for overruling Roe is "overwhelming." Roe v....

CNN’s heavily promoted town hall event with President Biden failed to resonate with Americans on Wednesday night, as it got thumped by Fox News and even finished with a smaller audience than MSNBC. The CNN Biden town hall, moderated by Don Lemon, averaged only 1.5 million viewers from 8-9:30 p.m. ET, while Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during the same time period. MSNBC averaged 1.6 million sets of eyeballs, which pushed CNN’s chat with the president to last place among relevant cable news stations. Fox News beat CNN by a staggering 83 percent during the Biden town hall with...

Conservative radio host Larry Elder is leading the field of candidates running to remove California Gov. Gavin Newsom from office by way of a recall election scheduled to take place on Sept. 14, according to a new poll released Wednesday. The Inside California Politics and Emerson College poll found California voters favored Elder by 10 points when asked which of the recall candidates they planned to support. peaking with KRON-TV Wednesday evening, Elder said he announced his candidacy earlier this month, and has thus not been a candidate in the race to recall Newsom for long. Elder credited his public...

CNN medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen said she was "disappointed" by President Joe Biden's performance in a Wednesday town hall when it came to his answers on questions concerning the coronavirus and vaccines. Discussing the CNN town hall with a panel immediately following the event, Wen felt Biden wasn't "meeting the realities of what's happening on the ground" concerning the virus, that some of his answers to questions were "irresponsible," and that he "led people astray" when he claimed vaccinated people were "well-protected" against the Delta variant of the virus. "I was actually disappointed by President Biden’s … answers tonight...

While polls conducted earlier this year found a consistent 36 percent of registered voters in California supported removing Newsom from office, the new poll from Inside California Politics and Emerson College said that number has now jumped to 43 percent.

We finally have a new poll of the Gavin Newsom recall election in California, and it shows a tightening race with some big warning signs for the governor. The last high quality polls that were released in May showed opposition to the recall beating support for the recall by double digits, but a new poll released by Emerson College and Nexstar Media's Inside California Politics on Thursday shows a closer race. The biggest red flag for Newsom was the poll's question, "Regardless of the recall effort, would you vote to re-elect Gov. Newsom in 2022 or do you think it...

Joe Biden on Thursday delivered a speech in the East Room of the White House before he signed the “Crime Victims Fund Act.” Biden said he was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee 150 years ago. "Way back 150 years ago when I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee we spent a lot of time…” said Biden. ...... Snip...... Earlier this year Joe Biden lost his train of thought and said he came to the senate 120 years ago.

The White House and a top U.S. health agency are not saying whether they’re considering a change to masking guidance amid an increase in COVID-19 cases across the country. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director, twice declined to say whether the agency was mulling a change. As of now, the recommendations are the same, she told reporters in a virtual briefing on Thursday. “We are always looking at the data as the data come in,” Walensky said. Jeffrey Zients, the White House’s COVID-19 coordinator, also deflected a question on whether masking guidance will change,...

House Democrats blocked consideration of legislation that would require the U.S. Director of National Intelligence to declassify information and data related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and that namely targeted what role the Wuhan Institute of Virology played in the outbreak. In May, the Senate Republican-backed COVID-19 Origin Act was passed unanimously in the Senate. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) brought the Senate bill to the House floor on Tuesday night before Democrats voted it down. “The best disinfectant is sunlight and that’s what we can provide today,” Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who helped bring the bill to the...
