Can 'DREAMers' Receive Federal Bene | The Daily Caller:
"Conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham claimed Tuesday that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Obama-era immigration program, grants recipients access to federal benefits.
Verdict: True
DACA recipients can participate in Social Security and Medicare, and lower income DACA recipients may claim a major tax credit. They are still ineligible, however, for most forms of welfare including food stamps and Medicaid."

Another Hollywood star rips Trump and his followers – right before her new movie releases – TheBlaze
Another Hollywood star rips Trump and his followers – right before her new movie releases – TheBlaze:
"Hollywood celebrity Jennifer Lawrence appeared to insult Trump voters while promoting her new movie in a long and somber interview with Channel 4 News.
In the latter end of the interview, she blames those who voted for President Trump for climate change and the devastating hurricanes hitting the southern coast of the country.
The report asked Lawrence how she felt that the United States appeared to be in the grip of the “end of days.”
“It’s scary,” she responded, “you know, it’s this new language that’s forming, I don’t even recognize it.
It’s uhm, it’s also scary to know, it’s been proven through science, that human activity, that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting.”
“And we voted, and it was really startling,” she said, “you know you’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s really hard especially while promoting this movie, not to feel mother nature’s rage and wrath.”
“And it’s not just about climate change in America, is it, it seems to be a time of huge division,” the reporter asked."

"Hurricane Irma has left death and destruction in her wake and Hurricane Jose is right behind her promising more.
Entire islands have been destroyed, families torn apart, and property wiped out.
This crippling devastation so close to the last hurricane in Texas, from which people are still reeling, is tough to take.
These people require our unceasing prayers and help, not scorn and snark.

So who would be cold-blooded enough to savage hurricane victims?
Rabid sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). These are people who were so blindsided by a Clinton loss that they can't see past their election night rage and are wishing destruction on all the Trump voters in Florida along with Trump properties...

'Price Gouging,' For Lack Of A Better Term, Is Good | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD
'Price Gouging,' For Lack Of A Better Term, Is Good | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Economics: Florida grocery store shelves were empty and 40% of the gas stations in Miami were out of gas in advance of Hurricane Irene.
But at least no one is price gouging, right?
Florida, like other states, has a price-gouging law that bans retailers from jacking up prices for food, water, ice, petroleum products and other products during a state-declared state of emergency. Someone caught selling at prices that "grossly exceed" the average over the previous 30 days faces second-degree misdemeanor charges.
...But while Florida's price-gouging law might help protect residents from high prices during an emergency, it can't protect them from the immutable laws of economics.
Whatever the intent of these price-gouging prohibitions, the result is always the same: rampant shortages.
That's because they are, in effect, government-imposed price caps.
And price caps always produce shortages.
So, while Florida tries to stamp out price gouging, its grocery stores' shelves are empty, and gas stations are running out of gas.
...The truth is that while jacking up prices during an emergency seems unethical, it can be the best way to deal with an emergency situation.
High prices not only discourage hoarders, they also send up a flare to suppliers to rush more into production and bring more into the region.
...As George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen noted, "price gouging, despite its obnoxious-sounding name, is usually the best of a set of bad alternatives.""

Electromagnetic pulse attack on grid could ‘cripple’ society | Boston Herald
"North Korea has threatened to launch an electromagnetic pulse attack that could shut down the United States’ power grid — causing months of blackouts that could bring society to a halt, with rampant crime and social chaos.
Experts say the threat posed by an EMP — the side effect of an atmospheric nuclear detonation — is significant...
...North Korea released a statement saying the bomb “is a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP attack.”
An EMP attack would involve exploding a nuclear weapon high above the United States, creating high-amplitude currents that, like lightning, would race to any conductors within the weapon’s line of sight, such as electric transmission lines, causing power and telecom systems to malfunction or fail in a cascading fashion.
“EMP is one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences,” reads a report by the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack, established by Congress in 2001.
“It has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of U.S. society, as well as to the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power...”
