ROFL!  Claudine Gay's Resignation Letter Hilariously FAILS Plagiarism Checker and NO, We're Not Joking
 
[...] everyone is joking about how Harvard President Claudine Gay likely plagiarized her resignation letter (although we made the joke first, dagnabbit!).  But if this letter is legit, and at this point we have no reason to say it's not, then HOO BOY.  [...]

Post more get more up votes. I just dropped by today to drop my upvotes stir the point.  

Help yourself. I pay plenty as it is.

I got refunds some time ago. The end game result should be not to owe or be due a refund.
 
However I overpayed a bit so did get a refund

We finally know why humans don't have tails
 
Approximately 25 million years ago, an ancestor of both humans and apes genetically diverged from monkeys and lost its tail.  No one had identified the genetic mutation responsible for this dramatic change in our physiology — until now.

In a new study published Wednesday (Feb. 28) in the journal Nature, researchers identified a unique DNA mutation that drove the loss of our ancestors' tails.  It's located in the gene TBXT, which is known to be involved in tail length in tailed animals.

The impressive discovery began when first study author Bo Xia, formerly a graduate student at New York University who is now a principal investigator at the Broad Institute, injured his tailbone and became interested in the structure's origin.  [...]

BREAKING:  Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Motions to Dismiss Tax Charges

Say It Ain't So, Joe:  The House Formally Invites President Biden to Testify in Impeachment Inquiry
 
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has sent a seven-page letter (below) to invite President Joe Biden to testify in the Republican impeachment inquiry.  The letter is the latest, and best, reduction of the glaring contradictions in the President's past statements on his family's well-documented influence peddling operation.
 
President Biden is not expected to testify.  However, the media should be interested in his answering the questions presented by the Committee.  It is now clear that the President lied during his campaign and during his presidency on his lack of knowledge of his son's business activities as well as his denial of any money gained from China.  Yet, the White House responded, again, with mockery — a sense of impunity that only exists due to an enabling media.  [...]

Life isn't fair -- hasn't anyone made that clear?
Hopefully ample and effective toilet paper.   

We have always gotten a refund and this year is no different. 

Well, if you withhold more from income, then you'll always get the refund.
 

No, I am not getting a refund.  I had to pay in extra to the IRS again this year......but I just adjusted the Federal tax withholding from my military pension which will let me avoid owing in the future. 

I am not a democrat though? At any rate that has no bearing paying our taxes and on receiving a refund, which is the question that was asked as the subject of this thread. I know many republicans that also received refunds and have always received them.

Protect your eardrums now...

Cicada invasion:  Trillions of noisy flying insects to swarm US for first time in 221 years
 
Billions, if not trillions, of two groups of noisy flying insects are expected to emerge from the underground in 17 U.S. states in April in a rare natural phenomenon not seen since 1803.

The insects, known as cicadas, are set to spring up and engage in a frantic mating frenzy lasting several weeks before they will all eventually die near trees.  [...]

I wonder if they're also counting Somali people and other longer-term sorts.

Here are the requirements.  Also, this part was news to me.
 
In 2023, the Refugee Council USA reported that Michigan was ranked 4th with refugees, behind California, Texas, and New York.

Denver Offering Free Bus Tickets to Illegal Immigrants to Move On - 'The Opportunities Are Over'
 
A local Denver television station recently obtained a video of a Denver city official visiting a shelter for illegal immigrants, where he is essentially telling them that there are no more resources available to them in the Mile-High City.
 
Video footage from local NBC affiliate KUSA shows Denver's Newcomer Communications Liaison and political director for Mayor Mike Johnston, Andres Carrera, telling a group of recently arrived illegal immigrants that the city is unable to assist them.  The footage shows Carrera encouraging the illegal immigrants, who arrived in Denver on March 26, to take a free bus ticket that the city will pay for and go to another sanctuary city.  [...]

Gov. Half-Whitmer strikes again.

Governor Whitmer Offers "Newcomer Rental Subsidy" to Landlords
 
Newcomer is the new word for illegal aliens.  In Biden's America, there is a new word for everything.
 
In Michigan, Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer has gone so far as to name a rent assistance program the Newcomer Rental Subsidy program.  It offers landlords $500 for each illegal alien.  The program "provides Refugees and other Newcomer population-eligible households with rental assistance up to $500 per month for up to 12 months, with eligibility based on immigration status and household income."  [...]
