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

by Joe Concha, Opinion Contributor - 12/22/20 5:00 PM ET

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.
