Sen. Ernst Says Time to End Campaign Fund That is ‘Welfare for Politicians’
WASHINGTON—Iowa voters head to the state’s presidential caucus in less than a week, but none of the multiple Democratic candidates seeking their endorsement have tapped a federal program that offers millions of tax dollars to seekers of the nation’s highest office. “Put simply, the Presidential Election Campaign Fund is a welfare program for politicians that’s doing nothing else but ballooning our deficit,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told The Epoch Times Tuesday. “Here we are kicking off a campaign year, very exciting, we’ve got all kinds of presidential candidates now in Iowa going through the caucus process,” Ernst said. “So it really seems fitting that we highlight this area of federal spending while the public is interested in presidential politics. A lot of folks don’t even realize it exists, they may be…
Amish Chicken Corn Soup
This Pennsylvania Dutch favorite uses fresh corn, which covers the fields of eastern and central Pennsylvania in the summertime. It also makes use of rivels, a free-form German dumpling similar to spaetzle, to create a heartier soup. To turn this recipe into chicken corn chowder, omit the rivels, add two cups of diced potatoes with the corn and, before serving, stir in a cup of heavy cream or a can of evaporated milk.
Makes 8 servings
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 rib celery, sliced
- 4 cups corn kernels
- 10 cups strong chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups diced chicken meat
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon water
- Salt and pepper
- Minced fresh tarragon or parsley
In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and sauté for 3 minutes. Add corn and continue to cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 30 minutes. Add chicken pieces to the broth.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat. In a small bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Beat the egg and water together and add to the flour, stirring to form a thin broth. With a fork, or using a medium-gauge sieve, drizzle flour mixture into the boiling soup. Reduce heat to medium, stir gently, and cook soup for an additional 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and top with minced herbs just before serving.

Elizabeth Warren Offers Infectious Disease Plan Amid Coronavirus Outbreak
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a Democratic presidential candidate, unveiled an infectious disease plan this week amid a worldwide coronavirus outbreak. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has mostly infected Chinese people but has also spread to over a dozen other countries, including the United States. Five people have confirmed infections in the United States and dozens of others were tested, with results pending. “To effectively beat infectious diseases like coronavirus, we need all hands on deck. But like so much else, Trump’s approach to keeping us safe from disease outbreaks is a mess. When he’s gone, we must fix the damage he’s done—and I’ve got a plan for that,” Warren said in a statement on Tuesday. Warren claimed that the Trump administration has put the country at…
