The IRS plans to hire 10,000 new workers to help reduce a backlog that is making this tax season the most challenging in history. The agency faces a backlog of 20 million pieces of correspondence, more than 15 times as large as in a normal filing season.

I do count my blessings, Jane.
The one downside is the mud! Sometimes the kids run over here and their shoes are twice the size with mud lol. There’s extra mud this year because of all of the excavating done for the mobile home and it won’t be seeded for awhile yet. I remember when the kids were young....spring was always nice, but mucky.
We also have a new pup (not me, but the kids). He’s a funny little guy.....a Mountain Cur named Ruger. So cute. I get to enjoy all of the fun and nice things about a dog, without any of the responsibility!
Sounds like heaven on earth.
Listening to Bannon’s extra hour/time.....on Gettr/FrankTV! Royce White NBA....was just up with a great message....
Awwww....sweet pup. That’s nice....getting to enjoy him, and....not have to do the training/feeding/cleaning, etc 😍
I watched Royce White - he was EXCELLENT. He knows exactly what’s going on.
That's the key, isn't it?

Genetically-Modified Mosquitoes Set To Be Released In California And Florida
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Monday approved use of the genetically engineered insects in pilot projects in specific districts across both states.
The mosquitoes were made by UK-based biotechnology firm Oxitec, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in an effort to combat insect-borne diseases such as dengue fever, yellow fever, and the Zika virus.
According to Oxitec, its “sustainable and targeted biological pest control technology does not harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies and is proven to control the disease-transmitting Aedes aegypti mosquito, which has invaded communities in Florida, California, and other U.S. states.”
Since it was first detected in California in 2013, the Aedes aegypti mosquito has spread rapidly to more than 20 counties throughout the state, increasing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases being transmitted to humans.
Oxitec’s new technology consists of genetically-modified male mosquitoes, which do not bite, that will be released into the wild where they are expected to mate with females, which do bite.
In mating with them, they will pass on a lethal gene that will effectively ensure their offspring die before reaching maturity.
The Florida pilot project will be a continuation of Oxitec’s partnership with the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District after its pilot project in the Keys in 2021.
“Given the growing health threat this mosquito poses across the U.S., we’re working to make this technology available and accessible,” Grey Frandsen, CEO of Oxitec, said. “These pilot programs, wherein we can demonstrate the technology’s effectiveness in different climate settings, will play an important role in doing so. We look forward to getting to work this year.”
The upcoming release of the modified insects will be the largest release in world history.
However, critics, including scientists, public health experts, and environmental groups, are concerned about what impacts releasing the generically altered mosquitoes could have on public health as well as the environment.
“This is a destructive move that is dangerous for public health,” Dana Perls, food and technology program manager with Friends of the Earth, an environmental advocacy organization, told USA Today.
Perls said her biggest concern was the lack of widespread, peer-reviewed scientific data regarding the generically modified insects and the potential risk they could bring.
“Once you release these mosquitoes into the environment, you cannot recall them,” she said. “This could, in fact, create problems that we don’t have already.”
Jaydee Hanson, policy director with the Center for Food Safety said the “experiment is unnecessary and even dangerous” while pointing to the lack of prominent tropical diseases in California.
Smollett gets 150 days! For what he did, and what he put the country through! An outrage. Just when I think I couldn’t loathe these people any more.

Lolololo “And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself.” That’s pretty funny.....does he think Kamala and Hussein are going to off him?

School District Says Parents ‘Not Entitled’ to Know Their Kids’ Gender Identity
The 2021-2022 Equity session on Safe Spaces includes a slide telling educators that “parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities,” and that such knowledge “must be earned.”
The lesson also explained:
Teachers are often straddling this complex situation. In ECASD, our priority is supporting the student,” the professional development facilitator guide states. Teachers were encouraged to “Talk amongst yourselves!”
