JILL COLVIN and MIKE STOBBE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House seating chart spoke volumes. When the president convened a roundtable this week on how to safely reopen schools with coronavirus cases rising, the seats surrounding him were filled with parents, teachers and top White House officials, including the first and second ladies. But the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, usually the leader of disease-fighting efforts, was relegated to...
ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press SAN DIEGO (AP) - The Honduran woman was nine months' pregnant and exhausted with stomach pain when the Border Patrol found her in the Southern California mountains with her longtime partner and their 9-year-old son.

JONATHAN LEMIRE and BILL BARROW Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — President Donald Trump is postponing his planned rally Saturday in New Hampshire, the White House said, citing a tropical storm threatening parts of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters traveling to Florida with the president on Friday that the event — slated to be held in an aircraft hangar in Portsmouth — would be delayed by a week or two.

REESE DUNKLIN and MICHAEL REZENDES Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Roman Catholic Church used a special and unprecedented exemption from federal rules to amass at least $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid, with many millions going to dioceses that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy sexual abuse cover-ups. The church's haul may have reached -- or even exceeded -- $3.5 billion, making a global religious institution with more than a billion followers among the b...
MARK SHERMAN and JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Clarence Thomas spoke and Chief Justice John Roberts ruled. The Supreme Court's most unusual term featured victories for immigrants, abortion rights, LGBTQ workers and religious freedoms. The usually quiet Thomas' baritone was heard by the whole world when the coronavirus outbreak upended the court's traditional way of doing business. When the biggest decisions were handed down, the chief justice was almost always in the majority and dictated the reach...

U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia imposed a 46-month sentence and also ordered Crawford to pay...
DON THOMPSON and DAISY NGUYEN Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) - As California enters wildfire season, the state is scrambling to find sufficient firefighters amid a coronavirus outbreak that has depleted the ranks of inmates who usually handle some of the toughest duties and caused a budget deficit that derailed plans to hire 600 new state firefighters and support personnel. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday said the state has enough money to instead add 172 professional...
BILL BARROW and MARC LEVY Associated Press DUNMORE, Pa. (AP) - Democrat Joe Biden turned his campaign against President Donald Trump toward the economy Thursday, introducing a New Deal-like economic agenda while drawing a sharp contrast with a billionaire incumbent he said has abandoned working-class Americans amid cascading crises.

JEFF AMY and CAROLE FELDMAN Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) - Federal health officials won't revise their coronavirus guidelines for reopening schools despite criticism from President Donald Trump, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

In draft CDC...
JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday it will not play nonconference games in football and several other sports this fall, the most dramatic move yet by a power conference because of the coronavirus pandemic. The conference cited medical advice in making its decision and added ominously that the plan would be applied only "if the conference is able to participate in fall sports." "As we continue to focus on how to play this season in a safe and responsible way, based on the best advice of medic...

Zachary Stieber The Epoch Times A woman who said she and her sister were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein is disputing a purportedly independent investigation that cleared Eileen Guggenheim of wrongdoing. Guggenheim, the former dean of students at the New York Academy of Art, is now the academy’s chair. “For years the Guggenheim and the board of the New York Academy of Art sought to curry favor with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Since Epstein’s arrest almost one year ago, we have watched as other insti...

Adam Beam and Don Thompson The Associated Press Newly formed "strike teams" of state inspectors contacted thousands of California businesses over the long Independence Day weekend but issued citations to a relative few as they enforced coronavirus restrictions amid a resurging pandemic. The teams issued 52 citations because most business owners complied with the teams' directives, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, July 6. "There were only a handful of citations because the overwh...
“Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance,” filmmaker Albert Mayses said. To allow for nuance means everyone needs to think for themselves and a need to acknowledge there is more than one unquestionable side to things. Allowing for nuance encourages healthy dialogue with those with varying perspectives, knowing they each have things to contribute and to learn. Police brutality is bad. Brutality against the police is bad. There are conversations that need to be had. Racial profiling happens, and it needs to stop. There nee...
It seems like recently we have been asked to rethink our core beliefs and ideals. From capitalism, religion, gender identity to racism, everything that we know and believe has been placed under scrutiny. We are asked to believe that capitalism is evil, although free societies are characterized by the rule of law, property rights, free speech, domestic competition and free trade and have a much better record of tackling human misery than their socialist alternatives. Still, we...
Independence Day is traditionally a time to go to the beach, have backyard barbecues and close out the day watching fireworks. But this year, the celebrations won’t be as widespread, the beaches will be much less crowded. The limited July Fourth activities may be appropriate since it provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on what the day is really about. Two hundred forty-four years ago, a group of agricultural colonies with a population of less than 3 million, scattered...
John, you called President Trump an inveterate liar, small town grifter and a poor loser, huckster; I believe you are all those things too. I don’t know if you are on some “arch” liberal (works both ways doesn’t it?) payroll, but every letter starts with a long list of DNC, Alinsky-type insults of President Trump (it must gall you, huh?). The stock market has skyrocketed from 18 to 29 times in 3 ½ years; the tax cut went to everyone (I’m barely hanging on and I got it). It’s always the same Democrat bull, “It’s only f...
