President Trump has been willing to accept almost anything to close the deal on his giant tax cut bill before Christmas, including staying mum about a measure that would allow illegal immigrants to pocket the more generous child tax credit included in the package.
Illegal immigrants have been collecting the payoff from the “refundable” tax credit for years because of an IRS interpretation of how the rule was drafted. The Republican-controlled Congress this fall had a chance to correct that in the tax code overhaul that in the Senate version doubled the child tax credit to $2,000 and expanded eligibility.

Sig Sauer, the maker of the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System, intends to sell a special, commercial version of the full-size MHS 9mm pistol.
“We are planning to do a limited release of about 5,000 of the Army variant of the M17 for the commercial market,” Tom Taylor, Sig Sauer’s chief marketing officer and executive vice president for commercial sales, told Military.com. “The timing is not finalized yet, but it looks to be late spring.” Continue reading “Sig Sauer to Offer Commercial Version of Army’s New Sidearm”
Whether it be hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding or wildfires, America has been inundated with devastating manmade and so-called natural disasters. They were manmade by steering hurricanes onto American coastal regions, weather modifications, and undoubtedly enemies of American Nationals lighting off wildfires. Sound a little over the top? Yeah, the truth hurts doesn’t it? Weather modification playing a huge part? You betcha.
Every one of these disasters cost billions of dollars, Hurricane Harvey alone is estimated at $190 billion, that is a low estimate in my opinion. The wildfires in California are going to be incalculable; estimates so far are again low. Hurricane Irma was a Cat 5, it stayed a Cat 5 longer than any other hurricane except hurricane Ivan in 2004. Irma stayed at 184 MPH for 34 hours. It took out outer Islands before heading into the mainland. There have been over 1300 tornadoes hit inside American soil since October 8th.

Chinese investors are given citizenship if they invest big inside America, In this case, they got what they deserved, nothing. Crooked, traitorous American officials have used mobster tactics to let communist infiltrate our country.
The SLS Las Vegas hasn’t turned a profit since opening in 2014 and is on the ‘’verge of bankruptcy,’’ according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County by 60 Chinese nationals who lent money to the project in exchange for U.S. citizenship.
Chinese investors lent roughly $400 million in two nearly equal portions in 2013 and 2014 to help owners Stockbridge Capital Group and sbe Entertainment convert the Sahara on the north Strip into the SLS Las Vegas. Continue reading “SLS Las Vegas on ‘verge of bankruptcy,’ investors allege”
Around dusk on a late November weekday, hundreds of people walked through Mandalay Bay, past empty restaurants just off the casino floor and toward the huge convention center.
Employees of CarMax, the nation’s largest used-car dealer, had gathered here from around the U.S. to attend the company’s annual President’s Club gala, an award ceremony to recognize top talent. Continue reading “Mandalay Bay struggles to find footing after Las Vegas shooting”

LOS ANGELES — Carli Jo Bidlingmaier was talking to a group of 20-somethings in a living room in the Bel-Air neighborhood here, weeks before the wildfires. She was explaining that consuming marijuana allows a woman to awaken her “yoni,” a Sanskrit term for vagina favored by Hollywood bohemians.
“Everybody stand up!” she shouted. The crowd, all women seated on pillows on the floor, leapt to their feet.

NORFOLK – The colors were raised, the watch was set and on Saturday at 11:56 a.m., the fast-attack sub Washington officially became the USS Washington and was commissioned into the U.S. Navy.
Construction on the sub started in Newport News in September 2011.
In March 2015, it was christened the Washington. The “USS” designation may not seem like much to the average civilian, but for Cmdr. Gabriel Cavazos, it’s the culmination of years of construction work and many months of effort from his crew.

Fascinating colorized photographs from the 1800s reveal the lives of soldiers during two of the century’s great wars in the United States and Europe.
One image reveals President Abraham Lincoln meeting with Unionist General George B McClellan after the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War.
McClellan, known for his cautious military tactics, was relieved of his duties by Lincoln shortly after the battle after allowing General Robert E Lee’s army to retreat into Virginia despite unknowingly having the confederates significantly outnumbered.

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has said he is ‘seriously, seriously, seriously considering running for the US Senate.’
The 85-year-old said he was not interested in running for Trent Franks’ congressional seat when the republican resigns in January for asking staffers to be surrogate mothers for his child.

Apple is likely to win big under the tax plan that Republicans are pushing through Congress, according to the Financial Times.
The Cupertino, Calif., firm could make as much as $47 billion in additional profits from the tax legislation, according to the paper’s estimates.
The Senate version of the tax proposal, which would allow Apple to bring home profits it has stashed overseas at a maximum 14.5 percent tax rate, would be a huge discount over the proposed 25 percent corporate tax rate, and an even bigger deal than the current 35 percent rate. Continue reading “Analysis: Apple poised for $47 billion windfall from GOP tax bill”
The White House insisted Thursday that Donald Trump’s lispy, halting performance Wednesday in an Israel policy speech is nothing to worry about, and a U.S. Navy doctor will release the results of a physical next year to prove it.
The president’s speaking cadence became irregular and his speech slurred during part of his delivery, concluding with ‘God bless the United Shhtates.’
‘There were a lot of questions on that. Frankly pretty ridiculous questions,’ White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters on Thursday. Continue reading “His ‘throat was dry’: Trump to get physical after speech slurring”
Elon Musk’s reliance on shock-and-awe tactics and unjustifiably lofty performance projections is creating serious problems for the so-called visionary as a growing number of experts have come forward to explain that many of his claims would defy the laws of physics.
The latest group to call bulls— is Aurora Energy Research, a European consultancy which estimated that Tesla’s electric haulage truck will require the same energy as up to 4,000 homes to recharge – a stunning claim that would seem to raise serious questions about the projects viability, according to the Financial Times.

It didn’t take long, only hours after the most idiotic decision known to mankind, Trump has effectively accelerated World War III, not only from declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but in my opinion, serious mental decline. Only a man with brain decline could make such an ignoramus decision. I know many of my brothers here at From the Trenches World Report disagree, saying that he is only taking marching orders from his Jew masters, I’m taking it one step further, this man has become dangerous. He has serious mental decline. Continue reading “Time to Consider Trump as the Enemy – Danger to Americans around the World – Mental Decline?”
The State Department issued a new ‘Worldwide Caution’ to Americans traveling overseas on Wednesday, after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. has officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel‘s capital.

Every day that goes by we have to read or hear about another idiotic move by our so-called president. This traitorous ignoramus is doing everything in his power to ignite World War III, there is no stopping this moron. If this circus barking con man moves the United States embassy to Jerusalem, he is effectively telling the world, I don’t give a damn what any of you think, Israel is always right, and the rest of you are always wrong. Palestine has had enough cow manure thrown into their faces at this point, now Trump wants to put on his false yamaka, and throw rotten smelling gefilte fish into their faces as well?
