Historic Big Apple pizza joints could be forced to dish out mounds of dough under a proposed city edict targeting pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens, The Post has learned. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%. “All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” DEP spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement Sunday. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental...

In a recent development, the Biden regime’s Department of Defense (DoD) has stated it will not interfere with a potential spy balloon reported over American airspace.

Attacks on art have been in the news fairy often in recent months. In July, climate activists glued themselves to a copy of The Last Supper believed to have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci’s students and scrawled “no new oil” beneath the image, and in May, the Mona Lisa made the headlines when a museum visitor smeared cake all over the protective glass that guards the famous painting. That incident was just the latest in a series of attacks on the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece.

This week an editorial by Michael Hiltzik in the Los Angeles Times proclaimed Robert F. Kennedy, jr. "a threat to democracy." The son of former US Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, sr. earned this fearful emotion from the left-wing newspaper by daring to challenge President Biden for the Democrat nomination for president in the 2024 election. "We already have a Democrat in the oval office," he said. "There is no need for this disunifying intrusion." Despite Kennedy's impeccable lineage as a liberal Democrat, Hiltzik doesn't think he deserves an opportunity to run. "If you listen to some of the issues he...

Former President Trump is again knocking Fox News for its coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his leading rival for the GOP nomination for president. “FoxNews just covered, from beginning to end, the Ron DeSanctimonious very boring news conference at the Border, but didn’t cover one minute of my two big speeches on Saturday and Sunday night, one for Faith & Freedom in D.C., the other about trade in Michigan, where I was presented with the ‘Man of the Decade’ Award,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “The DeSanctus speech was just a rehash of all the things I...

The Supreme Court on Monday lifted its hold on a Louisiana political remap case, increasing the likelihood that the Republican-dominated state will have to redraw boundary lines to create a second mostly black congressional district. The development revived Black Louisianans’ optimism of creating a second majority-black district in the Deep South state. For more than a year there has been a legal battle over the GOP-drawn political boundaries, with opponents arguing that the map is unfair and discriminates against black voters. The map, which was used in Louisiana’s November congressional election, has white majorities in five of six districts —...

Gardaí said they are investigating a number of incidents of criminal damage in Dublin after climate campaigners deflated tires on SUVs. Members of the so-called Tire Extinguishers group have been using lentils to let air out of tires in vehicles they describe as “gas guzzlers”. Since December, dozens of motorists in Dublin and Meath have been targeted, as part of an international campaign across numerous countries. The group said the aim of the initiative is to try to reduce the use of SUV-type vehicles on the roads, particularly in urban areas. The activists involved employ a tactic of putting lentils...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) today introduced a resolution to respond to the Russian Federation delivering tactical nuclear weapons to the Republic of Belarus. This is the first time Russia has deployed nuclear warheads beyond its borders since the fall of the Soviet Union, and represents a serious threat to global security in the midst of the war in Ukraine. Graham and Blumenthal noted their resolution holds that any use of a tactical nuclear weapon by Russia, Belarus or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility that disperses radioactive contaminants into...

I find it fascinating that the Western narrative surrounding Yevgeny Prigozhin now emphasizes his virulent hatred of the Russian Ministry of Defense and portrays him as the Commander and “brains” behind the creation of the Wagner Private Military Company, aka Wagner PMC. Yet Prigozhin owes a significant portion of his financial success to his sweetheart contracts with the Ministry of Defense. Go figure.I want to elaborate on my reasons for doubting the story that Prigozhin, on his own initiative, launched Friday’s mutiny with no coherent plan for toppling Minister of Defense Shoigu or Chief of the Army Gerasimov. He did...

Billy Graham once said, “Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and his will for us.” When we believe we’re meant to live a perfect life, there is a sense of a mandate to be flawless. It’s good to desire holiness and perfection, but the angst that comes from failure to attain them often generates anxiety, stress and fear that we aren’t right with God. We’re never at peace, and we can’t enjoy the fullness of the presence of God and a hunger satisfied because we think our perfection is up to...
