State Residents Looking at $147 Mil in Energy Savings Thanks to Trump Tax Cut

Because of the tax reform bill President Donald Trump signed into law last year over Democrat opposition, Iowa residents may soon see a reduction in their heating and cooling bills.

By lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, the new tax law is saving businesses of all stripes millions of dollars, and according to the The Des Moines Register, utility companies in Iowa intend to share their savings with their customers by either lowering rates or providing a “tax rider.”

MidAmerican Energy is expected to share savings of between $90.8 million and $112.3 million with customers, while Interstate Power & Light is looking to share savings of between $18.6 million and $19.6 million.

“Alliant’s gas customers could have between $500,000 and $3.7 million returned to them,” the Register’s report continued. “Black Hills Energy would return $1.6 million to its gas customers, the only service it provides in Iowa. And Iowa-American Water Co., which provides service in eastern Iowa, would provide $1.5 million and $1.8 million to customers.”

Combined, this reportedly comes out to a potential $147 million in savings. And all because the president signed a tax reform bill that both liberal Democrats and their allies in the media claimed would rob the working class to benefit the wealthy.

If this is what it means to be robbed, then someone please rob me!

Jokes aside, Iowans are not the only utility consumers slated to benefit “bigly” from the tax bill. Not by a long shot.

Last month CNS News reported that power companies in California, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, and even....

Meet the Immigrant Who Was Killed by a ‘Dreamer’ and Friends

Xinran Ji, 24, had big dreams. But demons demolished them.

The bright hopes of young Ji, a University of Southern California engineering student from Inner Mongolia, died in 2014 at the hands of a then-19-year-old “Dreamer” and his thug pals.

Mexican illegal alien Jonathan Del Carmen, who first jumped the southern border at age 12, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last summer in the savage robbery and fatal beating of Ji—who was walking home from a study group after midnight.

No, it wasn’t President Donald Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Republicans, or conservative talk show hosts who racially profiled Ji. It was “Dreamer” Del Carmen and his partners in crime: Alberto Ochoa, 17; Andrew Garcia, 18; and Alejandra Guerrero, 16.

The gangsters targeted Ji because he was Asian and assumed he “must have money.” Guerrero had sent Facebook messages about wanting to “flock” (rob) white and Chinese people. Off-campus neighborhoods around USC are dominated by Mexican Mafia affiliates that target foreign students and...

Robert Mueller’s Endless Investigation Is Aimed At The Wrong 2016 Presidential Candidate

There was an unspoken question as Donald Trump mounted the podium for last night’s State of the Union message: Is Robert Mueller’s endless investigation aimed at impeaching the wrong President?

The breathless back-and-forth news reporting from the nation’s capital last week focused on the four-page memo — long classified and unreleased — written by GOP members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). That memo and three major congressional investigations, according to University of Chicago professor Charles Lipson, “center on credible allegations that the FBI and DOJ fixed the investigation of Hillary Clinton to clear her and her top associates, and then launched an investigation of Donald Trump for partisan political reasons.”

Among the possible constellation of federal crimes: high-level corruption and obstruction of justice; using a fraudulent “Russian dossier” to obtain FISA warrants to wiretap incoming Trump administration personalities; the equally illegal unmasking and leaking of their identities; and the free-swinging use of “sources and methods” by the nation’s intelligence agencies to go after political opponents of the deep state.

All of these are, at best, unproven allegations to this point. Former CIA director and defense secretary Robert Gates appeared on NBC News last weekend to dismiss lurid allegations of cabals and secret societies as the inventions of “rogue politicians.” To no one’s surprise, CNN dismissed all such speculation as ...

Earlier today, the FBI issued a statement of warning that releasing the memo gives a false impression. They claim it must not be released and say they have “grave concerns.”

House Intel Chair Devin Nunes issued a fiery response in two statements. In his second response, he said: “The memo contains all the relevant facts on FISA abuse. After fighting our demands for these documents for months, the FBI and DoJ now seem to be going through a series of increasingly ridiculous, increasingly desperate excuses to avoid transparency.”

The FBI sent five agents to House Intelligence to alter the memo. They are doing it to conceal the facts. They have obfuscated and refused to release data non-stop.

We need the original memo released!

A THREAT TO THE CONSTITUTION

Judicial Watch Chief Investigator Chris Farrell told Lou Dobbs the FBI is threatening the president. More importantly, it’s a grave threat to our Constitution.

Farrell said, “Let me boil it down, real simple, the FBI is threatening the President of the United States. They put him in a corner and said we really don’t want you to reveal all the criminality that is going on in the organization… This is a grave threat on the Constitution.”
