Trump Budget: Child Care, Earned Income Tax Credits Would Require Social Security Number

By:Joseph Curl
Source: Daily Wire

"We'll start at the beginning. Yes, apparently receiving tax breaks from the U.S. government for child care or low wages doesn't currently require that you have a Social Security number.

At least according to CNS News, which reported this week on the new requirement in President Trump's budget. Under the new rule, "those receiving the child care tax credit and the earned income tax credit now must have a Social Security number to claim those tax credits," the news agency reported. ..."

Plant trees. Bare root (not growing in a pot) seedlings are very inexpensive and in many instances acclimate easier than larger more expensive trees. In warmer areas use water gel when planting to hold water so roots can absorb as needed. Decreases need for watering, fosters growth.

Academics: Global Warming Created So Many New Plants They Made Earth Colder

Andres Follett
Souce: Daily Caller

"Global warming is spurring so much plant growth that some parts of Earth are starting to cool, according to study released Thursday by Ghent University.

The study concluded that rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing an increase in plant life, which generally has a moderate cooling impact on the local climate.

In warm areas, CO2 emissions increase the amount of leaf cover, leading to localized cooling. Cooler places see the opposite, with temperatures rising slightly since less sunlight is being reflected back from the surface from increased leaf coverage.

In total, researchers say that these effects have mitigated global warming by roughly 14 percent. ...."

I'm unsure as to laws or policies governing these devices but wouldn't it be easier to clone the hard drive so work could be carried forward and hand over the requested computer? Or would it be evidence or potential evidence that needs to be surrendered as is?

House IT Aides Fear Suspects In Hill Breach Are Blackmailing Members With Their Own Data

"....Five Capitol Hill technology aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that members of Congress have displayed an inexplicable and intense loyalty towards the suspects who police say victimized them. The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access. ....."

"..... A House IT employee who requested anonymity said tech workers who have taken over some of those offices found that computers in some — but not all — offices were “thin clients” that sent all data to an offsite server in violation of House policies. Additionally, staffers’ iPhones were all linked to a single non-government iTunes account....."

Donald Trump Says Those Who Committed Manchester Attack Are ‘Evil Losers

By Kaitlan Collins, White House Correspondent
Source: DailyCaller.com

“As President of the United States, and on behalf of the people of the United States, I would like to begin by offering my prayers to the people of Manchester in the United Kingdom,” Trump said. “I extend my deepest condolences to those so terribly injured in this terrorist attack, and to the many killed and the families — so many families — of the victims. We stand in absolute solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom.”

“So many young, beautiful innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life,” he continued. “I won’t call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that’s a great name. I will call them from now on losers, because that’s what they are. They’re losers. And we’ll have more of them. But they’re losers. Just remember that.”

“This is what I’ve spent these last few days talking about during my trip overseas,” he added. “Our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed. We cannot stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people. And in today’s attack, it was mostly innocent children. The terrorists and extremists, and those who give them aid and comfort, must be driven out of our society forever. This wicked ideology must be obliterated, and I mean completely obliterated. Life must be protected.”

“All civilized nations must join to protect human life and the sacred right of our citizens.”

The Week in Pictures: Can Anyone Trump This Edition

"Another week—though it seems like a month—another turn-it-up-to-11 on the Liberal/Media Trumpomatic Outrage Meter. Can they keep this up? Yes, because it is the most congenial mode of contemporary liberalism. I think the most secure job in America right now is Keith Olbermann’s psychiatrist, or perhaps Michael Moore’s dietitian."

If Dems Think They Can Impeach President Trump for Nothing after He Won 30 States in 2016 They Are Sadly Mistaken

"In spite of having no grounds for impeachment, the liberals are calling for it.  Their calls for Trump’s impeachment are based on unsupported allegations that the President colluded with Russia to steal the election from Democrat Hillary Clinton.  (What a terribly sad joke!)   The Democrats’ arguments are very weak. Even Democrat attorney Alan Dershowitz states that he sees no evidence of collusion and if there was, it would not be a crime.

Liberal Democrats and their MSM somehow forget that Hillary Clinton called President-elect Trump on election night and conceded:
