Republican California gubernatorial candidate
Steve Hilton campaigned across Southern California on Wednesday as a new poll
showed his Democrat opponent, Xavier Becerra,
leading by 24 percentage points, the New York Post reported.
Hilton planned to visit Altadena on Wednesday
with HPP Cares, a nonprofit helping families affected by the 2025 Eaton Fire.
He also scheduled a stop in Van Nuys, where he planned to appeal to Democrat
and independent voters by criticizing California's rising cost of living under
Democrat leadership.
The former Fox News host also launched a
six-figure advertising campaign targeting traditionally Democrat voters with
the slogan "Just try it, California."
Becerra had no public events scheduled
Wednesday after campaigning Tuesday in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he met
with Asian American and Black community leaders and participated in
union-backed campaign activities.
A Public Policy Institute of California survey released Wednesday showed Becerra
leading Hilton 61% to 37% among 1,068 likely voters surveyed Oct. 16-22.
Becerra led 60% to 38% in September.
Hilton has focused his campaign on
homelessness, housing affordability, infrastructure spending, and wildfire
preparedness, arguing that Becerra would continue Democrat policies he has
criticized.
At a Tuesday campaign appearance in Newport
Beach, Hilton criticized California's Broadband for All program, which received
$3.25 billion in initial funding in 2021 for a statewide broadband network. His
campaign claimed only one project had been completed.
Becerra, a former California attorney
general, congressman, and U.S. health secretary under President
Joe Biden, has highlighted Hilton's endorsement by
President Donald Trump while criticizing the administration's policies.
Democrats have held California's governorship
since 2011 and maintain an advantage in voter registration. Republicans have
not won a California gubernatorial election since Arnold Schwarzenegger's
reelection in 2006.

Congress’s 5,593-page porky ‘relief’ bill is
essence of the swamp

It harkens back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
once explaining that a bill needed to be passed in order to find out what
was in it. In a related story, our government is broken.
The top-line from the bill says a mere $600
per adult and $600 per child goes to those eligible, which is half of what
adults received in another relief package passed earlier this year (the
per-child payment was $500). Not hard to see that this amount is hardly enough
to keep those struggling from staying out of poverty.
So where is the rest of the $1.4 trillion
going?
Glad you asked.
Exhibit A: “Of the funds appropriated under
title III of the Act that are made available for assistance for Pakistan, not
less than $15,000,000 shall be made available for democracy programs and not
less than $10,000,000 shall be made available for gender programs.” Yep. $10
million. For gender programs. In Pakistan.
Exhibit B: Funds for “Resource Study of
Springfield (Illinois) Race Riot.” That riot occurred in (checks notes)
1908.
Exhibit C: “Statement Of Policy Regarding The
Succession Or Reincarnation Of The Dalai Lama.” We’ll just leave that one
there.
Exhibit D: There’s actually a commission
tasked with educating “consumers about the dangers associated with using or
storing portable fuel containers for flammable liquids near an open
flame.”
Exhibit E: Another $40 million will be
allocated “for the necessary expenses for the operation, maintenance and
security” of The Kennedy Center, which received $25 million in another COVID-19
relief bill earlier this year. Also in a related story, the Kennedy Center has
been closed.
Exhibits F, G, H, I, J: $86 million for
assistance to Cambodia; $130 million to Nepal, $135 million to Burma, $453
million to Ukraine, $700 million to Sudan.
Exhibit K: The bill creates a Women’s
History Museum and an American Latino Museum as part of the Smithsonian.
Overall, the Smithsonian gets (checks notes again) $1 billion.

Biden's Economic Impact May Be Felt Long
After His Presidency
https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/biden-economy-legacy/2024/07/23/id/1173597/
Biden, as Obama's vice president, had a ringside
seat for the Democratic president's efforts to counter the 2007-2009 financial
crisis with programs now considered too tepid.
The recovery from that deep recession was
grindingly slow and scarring. The lesson seemed clear: When a crisis hits, the
response should be fast and large.
That was the logic behind Biden's first major
economic bill, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. Enacted less than two
months after Biden's Jan. 20, 2021 inauguration, it extended many of the
stimulus, unemployment and other payments rolled out by Trump at the outset of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
