In Your FACE Pelosi! Thanks to Trump’s Tax Plan Americans Utilities Have PLUMMETED

Yet again, Pelosi’s main talking point against President Trump’s tax plan has been proven WRONG.

According to a new report, electric, gas, and water rates have fallen across the country due to Trump’s tax plan.
The review of 102 utilities across the nation by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) finds that Trump’s tax cuts mean “lower utility bills for Americans.”

“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act cut the corporate rate from 35% to 21%. Utility companies are passing on the tax savings in the form of lower rates for customers,” ATR wrote on June 7.

ATR went on to detail the rate reductions in states such as Florida, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, thirty-seven other states, and the District of Columbia.

For instance, the low-tax advocacy group found that Tampa Electric in Tampa, Florida, announced the company would not raise rates to pay for its work to restore facilities due to the destruction Hurricane Irma caused because the tax cuts helped make up the difference.

“Because of recent changes made to the federal tax law, customers will directly benefit,” Tampa Electric told customers. “What Tampa Electric would have paid in corporate income taxes will instead be used to the cost of restoring power after Hurricane Irma and several other earlier named. Additionally, Tampa Electric bills will reflect the ongoing benefits from tax reform starting in 2019.”

The report noted that Cincinnati-based Duke Energy Ohio would also keep rates low due to the tax cuts. The company told customers, “Customers will receive approximately $20 million in annual tax savings on their electric bills beginning this month.”

“The tax act provides a unique opportunity for us to reduce customers’ bills by millions of dollars,” said Jim Henning, president of Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky. “And that’s exactly what we’re doing here – delivering real savings to our customers.”

Other companies, such as Consumers Energy in Jackson, Michigan; the Appalachian Power Company in Milton, West Virginia; and Entergy New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana, also announced rate reductions or an end to previously announced hikes because of the Trump tax cuts.

Thus far, ATR has found 102 utility companies that have lowered rates or ceased rate hikes due to President Trump’s tax cuts.

BREAKING News At The Border… MASSIVE DISCOVERY JUST MADE!!!

OTAY MESA, Calif. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Otay Mesa Cargo port of entry seized over seven tons of marijuana Wednesday hidden in a cargo shipment.

“This apprehension highlights the success of the Unified Cargo Program that has been implemented at the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility,” said Otay Mesa Cargo Port Director Rosa Hernandez. “The successful working relationship between CBP and Mexican Aduana-SAT has collectively kept these drugs from flooding our streets.”

At approximately 1:20 p.m. on June 6, CBP officers encountered a 45-year-old male Mexican citizen driving a tractor pulling a trailer that entered the cargo facility carrying a manifested shipment of “metal racks.” The CBP officer conducting the inspection made a collaborative decision with Mexican Aduana-SAT to refer the truck and shipment for an x-ray examination.

During the x-ray exam, CBP officers identified an anomaly and sent the truck and shipment to the dock for a more intensive examination. A CBP officer with a human-narcotic detector dog screened the truck, and the canine alerted to the trailer.

Officers opened the trailer and found boxes containing plastic-wrapped packages. In total, officers found 722 packages hidden inside the boxes, containing about 14,965 pounds of marijuana. The estimated value is approximately $8.6 million.
CBP officers seized the tractor, trailer, cargo shipment and narcotics.

CBP officers cancelled the driver’s B1/B2 visa and turned him over to Homeland Security Investigations agents for further processing.

If you have any information related to this seizure or any other suspected smuggling activity at the Otay Mesa Cargo facility, DHS encourages you to report it by calling its toll-free Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by completing its online tip form.

Charles Krauthammer Makes A Sudden Announcement—He Needs Your Prayers

SOURCE : https://goo.gl/S9gnRU
Charles Krauthammer is one of the most beloved conservative news personalities in America today. That’s what makes his announcement difficult to hear.

His thoughtful critique on American politics has been listened to by millions, and he has been a voice of reason when things seemed to go off the rails.

Charles has been noticeably absent from the airwaves over the past year, but he had every intention of getting back to work.

So his announcement today has America very concerned for him.

From Fox News:

Charles Krauthammer, the beloved and brilliant Fox News Channel personality who gave up a pioneering career in psychiatry to become a Pulitzer Prize-winning political analyst, on Friday revealed the heartbreaking news that he is in the final stages of a losing battle with cancer.

“However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned,” Krauthammer wrote. “There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live.

This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”

Charles, we want you to know we are here for you, brother. We are amazed at how hard you have fought, and how many times you made us think critically and laugh well.

We will continue praying for you, hoping for a miracle so you can continue giving your genius commentary and guidance.

Until then, Godspeed, and thank you for your service to our nation.
