Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and a top adviser, jumped into the administration’s tax reform push on Wednesday, joining conservatives to promote an expansion of the child tax credit and later appearing onstage with her father at an event in North Dakota. Ms. Trump told conservative leaders that the administration is pushing for “the largest child tax credit possible,” potentially doubling it to $2,000 per child, and said she wants to make it refundable against payroll taxes so that lower-income people who pay little or no federal income tax would still benefit.

Israel will no longer exist." The senior Farook, in an interview with Italian newspaper La Stampa, described his son as "an angel. Good, obedient studious. Maybe a...

The Department of Homeland Security has just released new "Policies for the Apprehension, Detention, and Removal of Undocumented Immigrants." Designed to fill in the details after President Obama's announcement that at least four million currently illegal immigrants will be given work permits, Social Security numbers and protection from deportation, the DHS guidelines are instructions for the nation's immigration and border security officers as they administer the president's directive. The new priorities are striking. On the tough side, the president wants U.S. immigration authorities to go after terrorists, felons, and new illegal border crossers. On the not-so-tough side, the administration views...

In a day of shocks, the most shocking turn of events was a break in decades of tradition by naming a foreign born male the Daffodil Princess. A decades long tradition here in Puyallup Valley of awarding the honor to a beautiful young lass, Obama beat out the odds on favorites to win the tiara. Puyallup, nestled in the shadows of both Mt. Rainier and the Space Needle, began this tradition by handing to award over to the daughters of prominent car dealers before a string of young asian ladies seemed to have a perpetual grip on the title. Obama...

Likewise, those who have been around the business more than a few years can remember when the flash light was used for lighting up more than the night. As a new officer in April of 1979, I had the privilege...

INCHON, South Korea -- Gen. Douglas MacArthur can't be seen around these parts without his bodyguards. The old soldier stands high on a bluff here looking out to sea, binoculars slung around his neck and an officer's cap perched jauntily on his head. In a cordon in front of him are several burly riot policemen, their shields raised in defensive posture. At least a dozen other officers, some in plainclothes with wires dangling in their ears, are fanned out around the flowerbeds, on the lookout for trouble. For nearly half a century, a 16-foot bronze likeness of the late war...

A rocket-propelled grenade robbed Matt Watters of his lower left leg last year during an attack on a terrorist camp in western Iraq. But it didn’t extinguish his desire, determination or ability to serve while in uniform. Seventeen months after his leg was amputated below the knee, Watters is training to become a Tacoma police officer. “I don’t see me doing anything else,” said Watters, who left the Army Rangers last month. “I have to serve.” The 25-year-old married father of two is more than halfway through the state law enforcement academy and has gained the respect and admiration of...
