Monday is Tax Day, the last day of the year to file your returns to the IRS, and the first time people will see how their rates have changed after President Donald Trump signed a massive tax cut bill in December 2017. Your rates might not change all that much, since the $1.9 trillion tax package tilted heavily toward reducing rates for the wealthy and corporations. But those tax cuts might not stick around too long.

The Iranian president’s helicopter crashed. God? Bad luck? The Mossad?
American Thinker, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 12:00 AM
Sometimes things just happen, but when the President of Iran’s helicopter crashes, and his foreign minister was on the copter, too, one wonders if it's more than coincidence.
