    Woman Attacking Flight Attendant Gets Prison Time

    Well, to be fair, the mask mandate was "illegal" in the sense that one Federal district court judge, in Florida IIRC, declared that it exceeded CDC's authority. As stated above, DOJ has appealed.

    FAA hijacker profile

    You don't have to look outside the U.S. Google "civil asset forfeiture" -- many police departments, especially in the South, have enriched themselves by confiscating cash, vehicles, etc. on the pretext that the folks possessing them were engaged in criminal activity. Undoubtedly some of them...

    9N AET crash in Nepal

    I don't doubt that there probably are some foreign actors commenting here and there as you say, but I suspect that the majority of such crass commentors are home-grown. I've seen it often enough on local forums that outsiders wouldn't bother with.

    Possibly Meniere's Disease...how to proceed

    I'm replying just because your symptoms closely resemble some I've had. In the past, I've had numerous incidents of vertigo over the years, diagnosed as BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). I learned that they were triggered (in my case) by looking up at a particular angle, like when...

    Washington DC plane rental?

    Try Chesapeake Sport Pilot at Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville (Kent Island). They have (at least) an RV-12 and a 172, maybe others, and they're just outside the SFRA.

    Capital gains on personal aircraft sale

    I can't see it, unless it's a substantial improvement, like a bigger engine or upgraded avionics. And the rules for business property are different from personal.

    Basic tax question.

    If OP is on Medicare, I assume over 65, so standard deduction for married filing jointly for 2022 will be $27,300 ($1,400 bonus for over 65). Concur that the IRA withdrawals are treated as ordinary income, unless it's a Roth IRA, or some contributions were after-tax.
