This is going to sound like a harsh story, but for some people it's a reality.

Imagine you head to the mailbox after doing your taxes, you reach in, you think you're going to get your tax refund.

Only to find that somebody's already filed and gotten your return.

Identity thieves can use your personal information to file for your refund or commit other forms of ID theft.

The last year of the IRS identified approximately $4.1 billion in suspected tax refund fraud due to ID theft.

Now, thankfully there's life luck.

With life luck, you have access to a team of US-based specialists who know the steps to take to fix identity issues,

whether it happens during tax season or any other time.

Of course, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions and all businesses, but nobody is better than life luck.

The Democrats still cannot believe that they did not succeed with their Merrick Garland nomination, Stonewall by the Republicans.

Despite Obama's loading up the federal courts with activist judges, that loss still hurts.

So they're hoping against hope for victory somehow.
