    'Failure's not an option': Trump budget bill will be 'big' help for seniors, top House tax-writer says
    EXCLUSIVE: The top tax-writer in the House of Representatives is arguing that President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will be "big" for American taxpayers as well including seniors.House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., and other Republicans on the panel spent months negotiating behind closed doors on how to enact Trump's tax policies.Among those is an added $4,000 deduction for Americans aged 65 or older. Seniors with income of less than $75,000 as single filers, and less than $150,000 as joint filers, would be eligible for the full deduction, which then would begin to phase out."So, thats on top of their guaranteed deduction, and thats per person . . . anyone who has total earnings of $75,000 a year or less is going to be made completely whole, so all the low-income and middle-income seniors on Social Security will be paying zero on Social Security in the long run," Smith told Fox News Digital, while adding of others, "most of them will be paying much less."ANTI-ABORTION PROVIDER MEASURE IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' COULD SPARK HOUSE GOP REBELLIONRepublicans are using the budget reconciliation process, which lowers the Senate's threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51 for certain pieces of fiscal legislation, to advance a vast bill full of Trump's priorities on taxes, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt.Because the House already operates under a simple majority, reconciliation allows the party in power to pass sweeping legislation while sidelining the other side, in this case, Democrats.Trump has directed congressional Republicans to permanently extend his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), as well as implement new policies eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay and retirees' Social Security.But the law that established the reconciliation process, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, also specifically forbade direct changes to Social Security via the process.Smith said Republicans' had added $4,000 tax deduction as a way to make them "completely whole."BROWN UNIVERSITY IN GOP CROSSHAIRS AFTER STUDENT'S DOGE-LIKE EMAIL KICKS OFF FRENZYRather than seeing that tax relief month-to-month, however, Smith said it would come in people's yearly tax returns.He argued that it was more beneficial for lower-income seniors as well, giving added relief to those whose incomes were too low to pay Social Security taxes in the first place."Under the rules of reconciliation, you cannot touch Social Security directly. What we did is to make sure that they get . . . tax relief for any senior who makes less than $75,000 per year," Smith said. "It's not that we didnt want to do it, its that it cannot be done under the rules of reconciliation, or you wouldnt qualify for the 51-vote threshold over in the United States Senate.""But the tax relief they will receive is an added tax cut, and that will make up for what they have paid in Social Security tax."The White House also endorsed Smith's plan despite its departure from Trump's initial campaign pitch."The one, big, beautiful bill not only delivers permanent tax cuts and bigger paychecks, but it secures a historic tax break for seniors on Social Security," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said. "This is another promise made, promise kept to our seniors who deserve much-needed tax relief after four years of suffering under Bidenflation."The $4,000 tax deduction, which would be in effect from the 2025 through 2028 tax years, would be on top of the higher standard deduction that people above age 65 already receive.It would not be a tax credit, reducing tax liability directly regardless of tax brackets. A deduction reduces taxable income and is dependent on the taxpayer's rate.But for single seniors making up to $75,000, and married seniors making less than $150,000, qualifying for the $4,000 deduction, it would likely provide some relief for millions of taxpayers across the country."Itll be a wash of what their Social Security tax wouldve been," Smith said, adding later in the interview: "Failures not an option. Were going to get this done."

    Ex-NFL star rips Caleb Williams' 'level of entitlement' over alleged Bears draft-dodge attempt
    Former NFL star Boomer Esiason had a terse message for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams after a book revealed details of the former USC standout trying to avoid being selected by the NFC North team in 2024.Williams and his father, Carl, asked attorneys to find a workaround to the NFLs collective bargaining agreement, explored signing in the United Football League and considered ripping the city of Chicago and the team to create a controversy, according to "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMStill, the Bears selected Williams with the No. 1 overall pick and he played only 12 games under Matt Eberflus before the coach was fired. Now, Williams will get to play under Ben Johnson.Esiason talked about the books details on his WFAN morning show in New York."The level of entitlement is breathtaking. Its no wonder why he failed initially, and its no wonder why the coach got fired. So now they go out and get an offensive coach in Ben Johnson."So you know what? Now its on his a--. Its going to be on his a-- to live up to these so-called lofty expectations that he has for himself and that his father has for his son. I understand that there could be a discussion, Hey, this is where quarterbacks go to die. Well, go fix it. Be the reason that the team is going to turn it around, and you be the player that you think you are."CALEB WILLIAMS TRIED TO AVOID GETTING DRAFTED BY BEARS AND CONSIDERED UFL STINT, BOOK SAYSEsiason said he would tell Williams to just "keep your mouth shut, youre going into the greatest league that theres ever been for the sport that we all love, youre gonna have a chance one day to make $500 million, because guys like me and guys before me all went on strike so you could actually make more money.""Keep your pie-hole shut, and go out and play football and earn your keep and earn your respect."Williams, nor the Bears, have commented on the books details.Williams said at the time of Johnsons hiring that he was "extremely excited" about it."Then once I got off the phone, I was driving on the highway, and I don't know if it was safe or not, but I gave a loud yell and scream of just excitement," Williams said. "It brings a bunch of clarity to the offseason. It brings a bunch of different things to the offseason. I'm really excited about the Bears and being able to make this happen. And keep Ben Johnson as our coach for a long time."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Middle East trip highlights President Donald Trump's 17th week in office
    President Donald Trump spent his 17th week as commander-in-chief visiting the Middle East, marking his first major overseas trip of his second term.The president left Washington, D.C., Monday for Saudi Arabia, followed by a visit in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.The presidents trip comes amid the continuing war between Israel and Hamas, ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations over Irans nuclear program, and his plans to broaden his first administrations Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab League nations such as the United Arab Emirates.TRUMP CONDEMNS 'INTERVENTIONALISTS,' PITCHES 'MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE' IN MIDDLE EAST SPEECHTrump arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, early Tuesday morning, with the nation sending fighter jet escorts to welcome Air Force One to the ground and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeting Trump on the tarmac, which was adorned with a lavender-colored carpet.Upon his arrival to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Trump was also met with a mobile and operational McDonalds truck.The president, during a speech in Riyadh shortly after meeting with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, vowed to continue Americas partnership with the Saudi Arabian government, but also called for peace in the Middle East, urging the region to pursue economic development rather than Irans "self-destructive" path."If the responsible nations of this region seize this moment, put aside your differences and focus on the interests that unite you, then all humanity will soon be amazed at what we will see here in the geographic center of the world, and the spiritual heart of its greatest faiths," Trump said."Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past, and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other," he added.Trump's speech came after he and Salmansigned several economic agreementstotaling $600 billion in trade deals. The agreements could help create up to two million U.S. jobs, Trump said.Several of the agreements tracked with previously stated ambitions by both Washington, D.C., and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, particularly when it comes to defensive deals.SAUDIS DEPLOY MOBILE MCDONALD'S FOR TRUMP'S TRIP TO THE KINGDOMBut as for Iran, Trump, during his Saudi Arabia speech, also warned the Islamic Republic of a "massive maximum pressure" campaign if it did not come to a nuclear agreement with the U.S."As I have shown repeatedly, I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be profound," Trump said. "If Irans leadership rejects this olive branch... we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure, drive Iranian oil exports to zero.""Iran can have a much brighter future, but we will never allow them to threaten America and our allies with terrorism or a nuclear attack," Trump said.Trump had announced a 60-day time frame to reach an agreement with Iran over its illegal atomic weapons program. The first U.S. negotiating session with Iran commenced April 12.Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Iranian officials for a fourth round of nuclear talks over the weekend.TRUMP HITS IRANS POCKETBOOK AS HE DANGLES A CARROT IN MIDDLE EAST SPEECHThe nuclear talks were "difficult but useful," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaeisaid. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations, offered more, describing the talks as being both indirect and direct, The Associated Press reported.An "agreement was reached to move forward with the talks to continue working through technical elements,"the U.S. official said. "We are encouraged by todays outcome and look forward to our next meeting, which will happen in the near future."The Trump administration has said the flawed 2015 Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, did not prevent Iran from building an atomic bomb.Trump, throughout his visit, made stark warnings to Iran verbally, and through sanctions.Just shortly after dangling a carrot of a "brighter future" for Iran, the Treasury Department gave a taste of Trumps "maximum pressure" campaign and sanctioned more than two dozen firms operating in Irans illicit international oil trade.TRUMP HITS IRANS POCKETBOOK AS HE DANGLES A CARROT IN MIDDLE EAST SPEECHTrump said Iran has the nuclear "proposal.""But more importantly, they know they have to move quickly or something bad something bad is going to happen," the president said.Next, the president traveled to Qatar, where he signed a series of agreements with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha.Trump and his motorcade were greeted by dozens of mounted camels after his plane landed in Qatar Wednesday morning as he continues his four-day trip to the Middle East.The agreements there involved a purchasing agreement by Qatar for Boeing aircraft, as well as letters of intent and "joint cooperation" between Qatar and the U.S. The emir also signed an intent agreement to purchase MQ-9 drone aircraft.Al Thani saidhe had a "great" conversation with Trump prior to the signing ceremony Wednesday, adding that the agreements have elevated the U.S.-Qatar relationship to "another level."The president then met with U.S. service members at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and cited "substantial pay raises" for U.S. troops in his 2026 budget."You are without a doubt the greatest fighting force in the history of the world," Trump said. "And as your commander-in-chief, I'm here to say that America's military will soon be bigger, better, stronger and more powerful than ever."Next, the president traveled to the United Arab Emirates for his final stop a visit that marked the first time a U.S. president has traveled to the nation in nearly 20 years, following President George W. Bush's trip in 2008.The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, was illuminated in red, white and blue in honor of President's historic UAE visit.Trump visited the Grand Mosque, a rare visit for a U.S. president, and was gifted the UAEs highest civilian honor, the Order of Zayed, by UAEs President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe president wrapped up his visit to the United Arab Emirates with a visit to the Abrahamic Family House, which encompasses a mosque, a church, a synagogue, and a forum, and served as a community for inter-religious dialogue and peaceful co-existence. As of this week, Trump has signed 148 executive orders since his inauguration in January, including a whopping 143 within his first 100 days as president, dwarfing the number of executive orders signed by his predecessors stretching back to at least President Franklin D. Roosevelt.Fox News Digitals Emma Colton, Morgan Phillis and Anders Hagstrom contributed to this report.

    How to breathe new life into an old computer
    Got an old computer collecting dust in a closet or tucked under a desk? You're not alone. Many people hold on to aging desktops and laptops, either as backup machines or because they still run "just fine." But here's the catch: if that PC is no longer receiving Windows updates, it could be a security risk, even if it seems perfectly functional. Janet from East Wakefield, NH, recently wrote to us about this very dilemma:"We need to update our computer due to Windows 11 not running on our older computer. We have two older computers, one we are upgrading and the second one I would like to continue to use on occasion. Do I run the risk of incursions into my software since I will no longer get security upgrades? Any advice on what I should remove (ie, finance info.)? Also, any advice for the older tower? Runs perfectly with solid state SSD. We are loath to put it into the recycling bin."The good news is you don't have to toss it just yet.

Both options are eco-friendly and can be rewarding if done right. Here's how to handle your PC responsibly:If you're done with it, let someone else benefit:Be sure towipe the hard drive before donating. Consider using adata erasure tool or disk-wiping software to securely erase the entire hard drive. However, alwaysback up any important files before wiping your drive. Always, confirm that you are targeting the correct storage device during the process to avoid accidental data loss. If youre unable to securely erase sensitive materials from your hard drive, consider removing the drive before donation and recycling it separately.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREBEST DESKTOP COMPUTERS FOR 2025If youre keeping the machine and want to get the most out of it, a few basic hardware upgrades can go a long way, even on an older system. These are budget-friendly fixes that can significantly improve speed, stability and longevity.1. Add more RAM: If your system has 4GB or less, upgrading to 8 GB+ can significantly improve multitasking and responsiveness, especially with Linux. Look up your PCs model number on the manufacturers website to find compatible memory. Many desktops (and some laptops) let you upgrade RAM by simply opening the case and inserting the new memory sticks into available slots.2. Upgrade to an SSD: If you're still using a traditional hard drive, switching to a solid-state drive can dramatically reduce boot times and make your PC feel brand new. For most older machines, look for SSDs labeled "2.5-inch SATA", which are the most widely compatible and easy to install. Some newer systems support faster NVMe SSDs, which connect directly to the motherboard. Check your PC model or open the case to see which type your system supports. Be sure to back up your files, then either reinstall the operating system manually or clone your current drive before replacing it.3. Clean out the dust and refresh thermal paste: Older desktops tend to overheat, which can slow things down or cause random shutdowns. Open up the case and:4. Swap out the battery or power supply: If your laptop battery no longer holds a charge, or if your desktop randomly shuts off, consider replacing the battery or power supply unit.Just because a computer is old doesnt mean its useless. Whether youre turning it into a writing station, a media server, or giving Linux a try, your old PC can still be a valuable tool. The key is security. Unsupported systems can be risky if used online, but with a few precautions or by repurposing them entirely, you can keep your data safe and extend the machines life in meaningful ways.Have you repurposed an old PC?

    Beyond anti-DEI: The case for a durable civil rights compromise
    In just a few short years, the tides have turned against racial preferences, in areas ranging from college admissions to corporate hiring. The Supreme Court has taken a far more skeptical stance toward the practice. The second Trump administration has launched an all-out war on DEI, which stands for the once-popular euphemism "diversity, equity, and inclusion."These moves align federal policy with public opinion, the principles of nondiscrimination and meritocracy, and the actual text of our key antidiscrimination laws. But their supporters should ask what comes nexthow to maintain these victories in the years and decades ahead as political winds inevitably shift.In a new report for the Manhattan Institute, I review how we got here and ask what a durable compromise on civil-rights law might look like. I propose ways to fight racial bias, regardless of group targeted, while encouraging the use of transparent, objective, fair processes.WHITE HOUSE VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 'SYSTEM OF MERIT' IN US, DISMANTLE DEI 'STRANGULATION'Our core antidiscrimination statutes, passed in the 1960s, clearly prohibited racial discrimination in employment, housing, and programs receiving federal funds (which includes most colleges). They didnt make exceptions for so-called "reverse" discrimination. It was executive agencies and courts, not the peoples representatives, that took the lead in legalizing such efforts.In employment, for example, look to the Supreme Courts decisions in United Steelworkers v. Weber and Johnson v. Transportation Agency, or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions guidance on affirmative-action plans. In college admissions, look to University of California v. Bakke, which began the line of higher-ed cases the Supreme Court essentially overturned in 2023.Somewhat more complex is the doctrine of "disparate impact," which the Supreme Court endorsed in its 1971 decision Griggs v. Duke Power, but which Congress wrote into American employment law two decades later. Under this rule, employment tests and other selection methods are presumptively illegal if different demographic groups pass them at different rateswhich is inevitable in a world with tragic racial gaps in academic achievement and obvious sex differences in physical strength.This saddles employers with the burden of defending their tests on a highly technical level amid the stigma of discrimination lawsuits, while praying courts will take their side, even if there is no evidence whatsoever of ill intent. That, in turn, creates a clear incentive for employers to choose their hiring practices based on their racial effects to begin with.With this history in mind, recent developments in the Supreme Court and the Trump administration are worth celebrating. The Court was right to strike down preferences in higher ed, and the Trump administration is right to enforce the written law against DEI-practicing companies and colleges. Regarding disparate impact, private litigants may still pursue cases rooted in the doctrine, but the Trump administration has publicly vowed to deprioritize such cases in its own enforcement effortsa defensible approach to a bad and arguably unconstitutional rule.But lets not kid ourselves: The political winds will shift back eventually, and victories won through the executive branch are particularly fragile, as any future administration can undo them. Even the balance of the Supreme Court will flip someday. And elites on the left have always been favorable to racial preferences even if the public has not.MERIT OVER MANDATES: TRUMP SHOULD LOOK TO COLLEGE SPORTS AS HIS WINNING MODEL FOR DEIAre there ways to make these victories a little more resilient? I propose that the key might lie in a broader colorblindness agenda.Conservatives have long chafed at affirmative action, for good reason. But a level of anti-Black bias persists today, too, and this may present an opportunity for a lasting compromise.DEI MADE DIVERSITY A DIRTY WORD. BUT THE CONCEPT MADE AMERICA GREATYes, this bias is far weaker than it once was, and its hardly a full explanation of Americas ongoing racial gaps in important outcomes such as earnings and imprisonment. But as I detail in my report, theres good evidence that some employers still do hire whites more easily than they hire blacks. In decades worth of "audit" experiments, for instance, otherwise-similar applicants of different races have applied to jobs to see if employers favor those of one race or another.Like all social science, this body of work has its flaws. For example, there are signs of "publication bias," in which some studies with undesirable results are simply never published; also, many studies rely on stereotypically "white" or "black" names to signal applicants race, but these names can signal social class as well. But in my view, considering the literature as a whole, this work suggests that being black can still be a moderate disadvantage in some segments of the job market.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONI believe that conservatives anti-DEI efforts will succeed best if paired with a sincere campaign to stop this kind of behavior.In the short term, the Trump administration should be sure to pursue and publicize traditional civil-rights cases amid its war on DEI, to drive home a message that fair, evenhanded enforcement is the goal. In the longer term, Congressif its even capable of passing laws on controversial topics anymoreshould fix the statute books. Clearly ban affirmative action and minimize disparate-impact liability in all areas of the law, while funding rigorous audits and other measures to address disparate treatment by race, regardless of which race is targeted. If nothing else, a bill of this nature would force its opponents to explain whats wrong with colorblind policies backed by thorough enforcement.For too long, American civil-rights law has actively discouraged meritocratic hiring, while making it effectively legal to discriminate against whites and other "overrepresented" groups.Good riddance. But bringing the DEI era to an end permanently will require reforms that are both broader and deeper.
