Whats going on in the World

[URL unfurl="true"]https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/average-tax-refund-nears-3800-irs-says-191959280.html[/URL]

The average federal tax refund reached nearly $3,800, an 8.8% jump over the same week last year, according to [Internal Revenue Service data]('https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-season-statistics-for-week-ending-feb-27-2026'). The government has processed more than 36 million refunds so far this season, totalling over $136 billion.

[SIZE=6]Refunds were [projected to be higher]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/your-tax-refund-may-be-bigger-this-year-heres-why-152025333.html') this year thanks to provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which makes new tax breaks available to millions of Americans[/SIZE]. Major changes include new deductions on [overtime pay]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/no-tax-on-overtime-184850223.html') and [tips]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/are-tips-taxable-heres-how-the-new-no-tax-on-tips-deduction-works-193914974.html'), a vastly expanded [deduction for state and local taxes]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/salt-deduction-160737863.html'), and a bigger standard deduction — $31,500 for a married couple.

The vast majority of Americans claim the [standard deduction instead of itemizing deductions]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/standard-deduction-vs-itemized-210300533.html'). But it’s worth revisiting whether you’d benefit more from itemizing, especially if you’re a homeowner.

Those who bought in recent years typically have higher mortgage rates — they’ve averaged around 6.69% in the last two years, according to Freddie Mac data. And you pay more in interest in the first years of a mortgage. All that can make the [mortgage interest deduction]('https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/taxes/article/mortgage-interest-deduction-180853056.html') extremely valuable. If you live in a high-tax state, combine that with the jumbo-sized SALT deduction, and those benefits together could easily add up to more than the standard deduction.

I’m out of town but have been getting reports from my Ring system that there are earthquakes happening in Westchester County. I can’t find any news about this. Anyone know anything?

During his first term, Trump wanted to use about $3 billion from a colossal COVID-19 stimulus package making its way through Congress to fill the reserve, but the move was promptly rejected by Schumer and congressional Democrats, who panned it as a "bailout" for the oil industry.

[SIZE=7]The price per barrel at the time was roughly $29[/SIZE], according to WTI Crude Oil. Now, oil has eclipsed $110 per barrel over the weekend for the first time since 2022.

Yup…….

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-foe-fani-willis-blocked-yet-again-from-collapsed-rico-case-president-pushes-claw-back-millions[/URL]

A judge in [Fulton County]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/atlanta'), Georgia, ruled Monday that District Attorney Fani Willis cannot participate in a fight over President Donald Trump's and his co-defendants' attempts to recoup millions of dollars in legal fees spent during her failed racketeering case against them.

Judge Scott McAfee said in an order that because Willis was already "wholly disqualified" from the prosecution, she could not be party to the battle over what amounted to $16.8 million in fees sought by [Trump and his co-defendants]('https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-seeks-more-than-6m-from-fani-williss-office-wake-election-interference-case'). Trump requested Willis' office reimburse him more than $6.2 million in attorney fees and costs earlier this year.

McAfee's order marks a victory for Trump in his yearslong feud with Willis, who he said was a "rabid partisan" on a "witch hunt" during the prosecution.

**The defendants, whom Willis criminally charged with conspiring to illegally overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, are pushing for legal fees based on a state law passed in 2025 that allows them to be paid back for cases in which prosecutors are disqualified.

Earlier this week, Fox News Digital learned that Mahady Sacko, a Mauritanian citizen and [illegal immigrant]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/illegal-immigrants'), allegedly voted in every federal election since 2008. He has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and charged with voter fraud in Philadelphia. This comes as congressional lawmakers fiercely debate the SAVE Act, a measure proponents say would strengthen election integrity laws.

The SAVE Act would clearly fix this.
