The Child Tax Credit Is a Biden Boon for American Families
*Ethen Kim Lieser*
*Stimulus Payments, *
The president’s administration is expecting the credits, which will begin
disbursing to nearly forty million eligible parents on July 15, will
provide a solid boost to the U.S. economy that is still clawing its way out
of the grips of the ongoing pandemic.
*Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite positive news on the economic
front, Biden and several White House officials have made it clear that they
want to make the $250 or $300 monthly cash payment for each child permanent.
With the third round of coronavirus stimulus checks nearing i... read more

The Child Tax Credit: How You Should Expect to See That Money
*Ethen Kim Lieser*
*Child Tax Credit, *
The first rounds of the expanded child tax credits under President Joe
Biden’s American Rescue Plan will only be disbursed via direct deposit or
paper check—though this could change in the future.
*Here's What You Need to Remember: *Know that these enhanced credits were
made possible due to Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, which now allows
eligible parents to collect as much as $3,600 per year for a child under
the age of six and up to $3,000 for children between ages six and seventeen.

Total Failure: Why Russia's Nuclear War Tank Was a Disaster From It's Inception
*Robert Beckhusen*
*Russian Army, *
Classic heavy tanks stopped making sense by the mid-1950s.
*Here's What You Need to Remember:* As the Nazis and Soviets battled for
hegemony, both sides fielded increasingly heavier tanks — with bigger guns
— which could absorb fire while destroying their heavily-armored enemies at
long range. The Object 279 was part of this tradition.
In a war that never happened, formations of heavy and rather odd-looking
Soviet tanks would have powered through atomic explosions in breakthrough
attacks into West Germany.
Enter the Object 279 tank, a curious... read more

Majority of Physicians Decline COVID Shots, according to Survey
Of the 700 physicians responding to an internet survey by the Association
of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), nearly 60 percent said they
were not “fully vaccinated” against COVID.
This contrasts with the claim by the American Medical Association that 96
percent of practicing physicians are fully vaccinated. This was based on
300 respondents.
Neither survey represents a random sample of all American physicians, but
the AAPS survey shows that physician support for the mass injection
