The IRS released inflation-adjusted marginal rates and brackets for 2023 on Tuesday, and many workers will see higher take-home pay in the new year as less tax is withheld from their paychecks. Additionally, the agency released the standard deduction for next year. It is increasing by $900 to $13,850 for single taxpayers, and by $1,800 for married couples, to $27,700. For heads of household, the 2023 standard deduction will be $20,800. That’s an increase of $1,400. Here are the marginal rates for tax year 2023, depending on your tax status. Single filers – 10%: income of $11,000 or less –...

This is one of the best interviews I have heard in years. Will Cain interviews Tucker Carlson for 56 minutes. It's Fox News on YouTube. It provides an in depth look at Tucker and his political views.

This 2018 lecture appears very accurate retrospectively. The first 45 minutes is Pozner's lecture, followed by an equally good question and answer period. It is one of the most objective presentations I have heard, especially about how the Clintons created Putin.

Ilithiophobia means: A strong and persistent intolerance of stupidity. Ilithiophobia is a neologism (recently constructed word) from the greek ilithios (stupidity) and the greek phobos (fear). Maybe it should be the name of a new political party.

It amazes me that Christians believe in the Bible, but most do not recognize spirit attachment as real. Removing attached spirits was a very common healing method for Jesus. In 1993 a 38 year old Emergency Room nurse came to me for pain management using hypnosis. I had just learned hypnosis and a mutual friend told her about me. She had a letter from her Dr. I requested stating that it was ok to use hypnosis as pain management, as pain is a symptom and blocking it may result in not detecting a serious illness like cancer. The pain in...

I'm looking to purchase a good Ham Radio and need guidance. Is it difficult to get a license? Looks like we'll need one in the near future, so I may as well get started. This beginner learns fast, but needs some direction to start. Thanks in advance.

The voter fraud in Shapiro's home count, Montgomery County must be stopped. The voter fraud was very obvious in the 2020 election. Montgomery County is the third-most populous county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the 73rd-most populous in the United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the county was 856,553. There were 192,511 of the 244,346 mail in ballots for Josh Shapiro. He won Attorney General by fraudulent votes, getting more votes than Biden and Josh Shapiro became the highest votegetter in Pennsylvania history. The 2020 voter results were as follows: Ballots cast 513,395 Registered Voters...

I started compiling a list of pro China decisions that Biden made since in office. This is beyond incompetence, it must be criminal. 1. He is still shipping our petroleum reserves to China. They are the lowest level since the program began to protect our country. 2. Per Newsweek "The Trump DOJ launched the China Initiative as part of the administration's comprehensive effort to confront the CCP. The program aimed to disrupt and deter national security threats posed by China with a focus on countering and prosecuting its economic espionage, intellectual property theft, hacking and related efforts to infiltrate and...

Brennan was so concerned about the vote that he said he “froze” during his first polygraph test to enter the CIA because he was afraid of answering one of the most basic questions: ‘Have you ever worked with or supported a group dedicated to overthrowing the U.S. government?’ Communists, of course, are dedicated to that very thing. “I froze,” Brennan told an audience in 2016. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” he said. It turns out that fired FBI Director James Comey...

The publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962 sent shock waves through state agencies. The following year, in 1963, the Arkansas branch of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife (which later became the US Fish and Wildlife Service) imported grass carp as an organic treatment for catfish ponds. Carp, with their voracious appetites for plankton, were a chemical-free filter. When the approach proved successful, additional species — black, silver, and bighead carp — were brought from Vietnam and Malaysia, and later from China and Russia as well. Without differentiating among the species, agencies like the US Department of...

Tucker Carlson examines the Wuhan lab leak theory in the origin of coronavirus Well, I think it escaped from the lab because we have the Chinese government basically telling us that it did. Wuhan is the only level four laboratory in all of China. So that's where you would put a dangerous pathogen, whether you were a genetically engineering it to be a weapon or not, that's where you would be experimenting on it. So, it makes sense that the epicenter of the epidemic, that the lab there would be the source of that virus.

For the final 6 months of 2022, the standard mileage rate for business travel will be 62.5 cents per mile, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of the year. The new rate for deductible medical or moving expenses (available for active-duty members of the military) will be 22 cents for the remainder of 2022, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of 2022. These new rates become effective July 1, 2022. In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the final months of 2022. The IRS normally...

“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices, fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. To prepare for war,...

Axel Springer’s business is divided into three segments: paid models, marketing models, and classified ad models. Since 2020, it is majority-owned by the US private equity firm KKR.

Some 24 million poultry birds like chicken and turkeys have already been lost, either because they died from the virus or were killed to prevent its spread. But unlike a similar bird flu outbreak seven years ago, this one is unlikely to just burn itself out. That’s because this particular flu virus seems capable of hanging around in populations of wild birds, which can pass the virus on to poultry farms. While chickens and turkeys with the virus quickly sicken and die, some waterfowl can remain healthy with the virus and carry it long distances. Scientists believe that wild migratory...

recorded the highest-ever concentration of ticks carrying a variant of potentially fatal Powassan virus called deer-tick virus (DTV). This rare virus has the potential to cause deadly infections with lasting neurological effects, and officials fear it and other serious tick-borne illnesses may become more common in the future. While many cases of Powassan virus are asymptomatic, those that are symptomatic can be deadly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)(opens in new tab). Initial symptoms include headache, fever and vomiting, with the most severe cases involving neurological complications such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and meningitis....

GlobeNewswire CHD Says Pfizer and FDA Dropped Data Bombshell on COVID Vaccine Consumers Children's Health Defense March 3, 2022, 3:54 pm Clinical trial data contradicts ‘safe and effective’ government/industry mantra Washington, DC, March 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a 55,000-page set of documents released on Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is for the first time allowing the public to access data Pfizer submitted to FDA from its clinical trials in support of a COVID-19 vaccine license. This follows U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman’s decision on January 6 to...

Data obtained in respiratory patients, mainly lean, are indicative of the safety of low-carbohydrate high-fat diets in respiratory compromised patients, and some beneficial effects on respiratory parameters were recorded. Keto Diet administration may be helpful for obese patients with chronic hypercapnia, thanks to the reduced CO2 production induced by the diet. Many respiratory patients are malnourished, and obese patients themselves are frequently sarcopenic, therefore an adequate protein supplementation is mandatory, since malnutrition may worsen the general prognosis. Many supplements for malnourished patients are rich in carbohydrates, and this is detrimental for their respiratory function,.... Keto Diet has anti-inflammatory effects and...
