Tax Reform That Will Make America Great Again The Goals Of Donald J. Trump’s Tax Plan Too few Americans are working, too many jobs have been shipped overseas, and too many middle class families cannot make ends meet.

I have a laptop with Windows 7 Pro installed and a couple years ago on one of the MS monthly downloads IE 11 was installed. It corrupted my laptop and I had to take it in to where I bought it - got it fixed for $100. I just downloaded the July updates and again did not download IE 11. Is it now safe to download and use?

There's a lot of anxiety at the White House. People who usually greet me with a smile don't even seem to notice me. I have to keep a careful eye on humans or they're likely to trip over me.

To the end, Gunga Dan liked to play the part of the crusading journalist, a regular reporter just digging up the facts. That was his TV persona. In real life, his hubris made him more like Richard Nixon than Walter Cronkite. And like Nixon, the coverup was his downfall. The CBS announcement that Dan Rather will give up his anchor chair in March made zero mention of Rathergate, the big-time blunder in which he used fake documents to charge that President Bush got favored treatment in the National Guard 30 years ago. I guess we're supposed to believe it was...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, said today that they have uncovered statistical irregularities associated with electronic voting machines in three Florida counties that may have given President George W. Bush 130,000 or more excess votes. The researchers are now calling on state and federal authorities to look into the problems. The study, "The Effect of Electronic Voting Machines on Change in Support for Bush in the 2004 Florida Elections," was conducted by doctoral students and faculty from the university's sociology department and led by sociology professor Michael Hout. Hout is an expert on statistical methods at the Berkeley...
