    Many Black, middle-class NYC property owners say they’d be among the biggest victims of the Democratic Socialists of America’s proposed tax hikes. Some told The Post the DSA’s Marxist measures — which include higher taxes for individuals making over $300,000, and taxing inheritances over $250,000 — would hurt New Yorkers like themselves who spent decades building up retirement accounts, paying off homes, and planning their estates to benefit their loved ones. “The reason you invest is to acquire wealth with the hopes of putting it towards your legacy, for your family — and this will greatly affect my family,” said...

    After Jill Gottlieb finished filling up her car at a Chevron station in downtown Los Angeles, the final tally on the gas pump read $107. “This is crazy,” the social worker for the LA County Department of Health told The Post of the staggering amount she paid to top off her 2017 Mercedes. “I’ve never filled up my tank for this much before.” As gas prices surge across the state, the Chevron station at 901 N. Alameda St. has become a stark symbol of the worsening pain at the pump plaguing Californians. A regular gallon of unleaded gas at the...

    Hundreds of Iranian-Americans gathered in Los Angeles on Saturday to voice support for the attacks against Iran’s ruling regime a week after US-Israeli airstrike killed the supreme leader. Demonstrators rallied near the federal building in Westwood on Saturday, chanting for the return of democracy to authoritarian Tehran. Many praised former President Donald Trump and called the moment a long-awaited turning point for the Iranian people. Waving flags and sharing stories of exile, protesters said the conflict is not a war but a chance to end the Islamic Republic’s grip on power. Mars, who was born in Shiraz in south central...

    @RealCandaceO Zionists are having a meltdown about what I said yesterday so let me reiterate: Do NOT sign up for or continue to fight for the U.S military. This war is on behalf of satanic pedophiles. Find the legal means to exit the military. Do not fight for child rapists. Come home.

    A commercial oil tanker was set ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz after it was struck by an Iranian suicide drone, the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Saturday, with a US Navy mission to safeguard ships through the region possibly still weeks away. The IRGC claimed the tanker — the Prima, sailing under a Maltese flag — had ignored repeated warnings not to enter the strait, according to Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s state media. The flow of oil through the strait — one of the world’s most vital energy arteries connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman...

  • How eight Democrats could elect a Republican governor in California

    A crowded field of eight California Democrats is splitting the race for governor, as the coalition behind outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom begins to fracture. The result could be unthinkable: Republican victory in November. Party leaders tried, and failed, to convince some of their own gubernatorial candidates to drop out of the race before Friday’s filing deadline. The warning was blunt: Too many Democrats will split the vote and allow two Republican candidates to qualify for the general election under the rules of California’s “jungle” primary. California adopted its unique primary system, also known as the “top-two” system, through a statewide...

    Six people are in custody after two homemade explosive devices were tossed outside Gracie Mansion Saturday during competing anti- and pro-Muslim protests, causing a panic. Dozens of demonstrators and counter-protesters fled as smoke started to billow from a device which appeared to have a lit fuse and was wrapped in duct tape. There were no injuries and no explosion at roughly 12:30 p.m. standoff, police said. A second device was also seen, according to the NYPD. Those devices were glass jars wrapped in electrical tape containing bolts, screws, and nuts and featuring a hobby fuse “that could be lit,” according...

    Donald Trump said a full-scale invasion of Iran would be 'a waste of time' on Thursday and called for the country to get a new leader who would 'clean out everything.' Trump spoke to NBC News as the Islamic Republic sought a new supreme leader after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and their foreign minister said a ground invasion would be a 'disaster' for the US. 'We want to go in and clean out everything. We don't want someone who would rebuild over a 10-year period,' Trump told NBC. 'We want them to have a good leader. We have some...

    Jim Carrey, Selena Gomez and Avril Lavigne are some of the stars who have found themselves at the center of viral theories circulating on social media.The internet coming up with outrageous conspiracy theories is nothing new, but accusing celebrities of being cloned is undoubtedly a whole new level. Most recently, Jim Carrey, much to his dismay, has been at the center of the eye-rolling conversation. All because fans were convinced the Dumb and Dumber actor had been replaced by a clone due to his appearance at the César Awards in Paris, where he was being honored. It’s important to note...

    Professor Jiang Xueqin made three big predictions back in 2024. The first was that Donald Trump would win the election and become President of the United States again. The second was that Donald Trump would start a war with Iran. Both of those predictions came true which makes the third prediction concerning for the United States. And that is because the professor predicted that it would lose the war to Iran. Jiang made an appearance on “Breaking Points” this week to lay out how he fears it all could play out. “Given my analysis of how the war is progressing,...

What you have said is true.” John 4:16–18Today, we are given the beautiful story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s Well. The story begins with Jesus resting by the well, for He was “tired from his journey.” A Samaritan...
  • Confessing Your Sins - Evangelical Caucus/Devotional

    Gracetoyou.org ^ | John MacArthur, Grace Community Church
    "I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed" (Dan. 9:4). Confession brings forgiveness and guards God’s character. Confessing your sins means you agree with God that you have offended His holy character, are worthy of punishment, and in need of forgiveness. That's exactly what we see Daniel doing in verses 5-16. Verse 20 summarizes his prayer: "I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God." Unlike some who suffer God's chastening, Daniel didn't shift the blame for Israel's calamity. Instead he admitted that...

    Getting car tabs renewed in Idaho will soon be easier thanks to a new law just passed in the state legislature that eliminates the requirement for physical registration stickers on license plates. The law, which takes effect in July, means drivers will still have to pay to update their tabs with the department of licensing, but won't have to put the physical sticker on their license plate. Lawmakers say the state will save $300,000 just by not having to print and distribute the stickers anymore. Some drivers are looking forward to physical car tabs going away in Idaho, especially because...

    MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena. Hayes and Hasan were discussing reports that suggest the U.S. is responsible for the strike that hit an Iranian girls' school that resulted in many...
