    Gospel singer and preacher Marvin Sapp is facing severe criticism online after a video of him seemingly pressuring his congregation into donating $40,000 went viral.

He's also under fire for demanding that online visitors prove they donated virtually.

    It is simply wrong to let the government take one person’s property away in order to hand it to another private owner with more political power.’ An often-criticized precedent from the Supreme Court 20 years ago that gives local governments permission to literally confiscate a landowner’s property and give it to someone else who may have more political influence could be overturned through a new case pending before the justices. It is the Institute for Justice that has been fighting on behalf of Bryan Bowers, a New York landowner whose property was “seized” by a local government agency. It was...

The Madison County Sheriff's Office, which provided photos of the March 4 incident, said the suspects were holding two pythons and stole about $400 worth of CBD oil, WREG reported. The video showed the men placing the snakes on the counter. One was completely coiled up, while...

    The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded, The Post has discovered. In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings. The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024. The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in...

    A man who robbed a McDonald’s customer at gunpoint on the West Side was hospitalized after the restaurant’s patrons ganged up on him and beat him until Chicago police arrived, officials said. And, prosecutors claim, it was the second time in ten days that the gunman had robbed the same victim inside the same restaurant. But this robbery ended a little differently. According to a CPD report, Johnson was “tackled, held on the floor, and beaten by unknown bystanders until police arrived.” Officers arrived to find Johnson lying face down on the floor with “a crowd of individuals holding him...
