Black NYC homeowners slam Mamdani’s
property tax increase
Posted By: VietVet68, 2/23/2026 2:46:18 PM
Black homeowners are fuming over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat that he’ll raise their property taxes by nearly 10% — with some telling The Post it could force them out of New York City. “Mayor Zohran Mamdani you are out of your goddamn mind,” Cambria Heights resident James Johnson seethed. Critics like Johnson, 35, a Democratic City Council candidate and an activist for the predominantly black and working class Queens neighborhood, argued the proposed tax hike was a whiplash-inducing departure from Hizzoner’s campaign promise that only the ultra wealthy would see their taxes go up under his administration.

Black homeowners are fuming over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat that he’ll raise their property taxes by nearly 10% — with some telling The Post it could force them out of New York City.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — A passenger aircraft carrying 55 people overran the runway at Somalia’s main airport and ended up in shallow water at a nearby beach Tuesday during an emergency landing following a technical problem shortly after takeoff.
There were no injuries from the emergency landing at Mogadishu’s Aden Abdulle International Airport, and the 50 passengers and 5 crew members aboard the Starsky Aviation flight were safely evacuated, airline CEO Ahmed Nur said in a statement.
Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, claimed that she received a frantic 4 a.m. call from a distraught husband whose pregnant wife is now on a ventilator after overdosing on Tylenol.
According to Sirotek, the woman, who was between 23 and 25 weeks pregnant, attempted to ingest massive amounts of Tylenol in an effort to “prove Donald Trump wrong” after his recent remarks linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism.

Harrowing photos have emerged of severely emaciated children wasting away in Gaza as starvation grips the Palestinian enclave — just as the US accused Hamas of making a mockery of cease-fire talks to end the war with Israel.
The disturbing images showed scores of sickly thin Palestinian youngsters with their bones poking out.
In one particularly horrifying viral photo, a small child can be seen being cradled by his mom as his spine and all of his ribs visibly protrude from his body.
Bye bye, Jews

It didn't start with the nomination of Zohran Mandami last Tuesday, but his victory continued the trend. The Dems and the Jews are not one anymore. Let's check this out from Gregory Lyakhov: "The Democratic Party, once a political home for Jewish Americans, has now become a party that excuses, enables, and empowers antisemitism. Jewish Americans committed to their faith, safety, and democratic values must recognize that political loyalty cannot be unconditional. The time for denial has passed."
Let’s bear that in mind while looking at the amount of firepower the IRS can deploy. In 2020, they had 2,100 “special agents,” who carry firearms and are fully trained to use them. These are law enforcement officers against tax evaders.
They inventoried nearly 4,500 firearms, including 15 “submachine guns” (probably M-16 or M-4 automatic rifles) and 539 long-barreled guns (presumably AR-15s and a few semi-auto shotguns). They also had 5 million rounds of ammo, which should be more than enough.
San Francisco launched a controversial new traffic camera program through which residents with low incomes or receiving government assistance will receive substantial discounts in fines.
City authorities turned on 33 new cameras last month, according to KABC-TV in Los Angeles, yet they will not give out citations for the first two months of the program. Instead, drivers will receive warnings during that time.
Once citations do start, however, the income level of the driver will determine how much he or she will pay.
The Trump administration is cracking down on radical, anti-American foreigners by revoking their visas. The left claims such efforts are a violation of free speech rights. But no foreigner has the “right” to be in America, let alone come here and espouse radical anti-American and anti-West values.
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of Hampton Dellinger on Saturday and entered a judgment declaring his firing illegal.
President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a few weeks ago.
However, shortly after the firing, Judge Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job.
Jane Fonda, the aging darling of the radical left, took to the stage at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday to accept her Life Achievement Award—and promptly reminded us why she’s better known as “Hanoi Jane.”
The 87-year-old actress used her platform at the 2025 SAG Awards to spew tired leftist talking points, taking thinly veiled shots at President Donald Trump and doubling down on her obsession with “woke” nonsense.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its decision to suspend federal funding for refugee resettlement.
The move comes as part of President Donald Trump’s broader effort to realign American priorities—protecting the homeland first, rather than funding programs that facilitate unchecked migration.
Denver Public Schools has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over a policy allowing ICE immigration agents to enter schools.
The federal lawsuit claims that the policy has caused attendance to plummet due to the amount of illegal aliens in the district.
“DPS is hindered in fulfilling its mission of providing education and life services to the students who are refraining from attending DPS schools for fear of immigration enforcement actions occurring on DPS school grounds,” the lawsuit states, according to a report from ABC News.

Who Cares If Democrats Boycott Trump’s SOTU?

A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.
Brazilian social media influencer Bianca Dias died on Thursday following complications from plastic surgery.
The 27-year-old social media star reportedly suffered a pulmonary embolism — a risk tied to major cosmetic procedures — after experiencing shortness of breath while recovering from a recent surgery at her family’s house near Sao Paulo, TMZ reported.
Dias was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to save her.
The bank admitted on Friday that “more than 50 Trump accounts” were cut off in February 2021, weeks after the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, according to the New York Times.
The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet.
Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”
Speaker Johnson Denies Jesse Jackson Family

Request for Him to Lie in State in the Capitol 28 replies
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There are very strict protocols governing who can lie in state. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney was denied that honor. Generally, the honor is reserved for presidents, noted military leaders, and select government officials.

Shovel Snow — But They Must Show Two

New York City officials are looking to hire 1,000 emergency snow shovelers as a major winter storm moves toward the region.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade.
“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said.
”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added. Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants,
"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
"Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, "It's just like when Joe Biden said, 'Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.'"
The California political machine is officially in panic mode.
With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely.
Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumps all candidates from all parties into one single primary election.
The only rule?
The top two vote-getters advance to the general election
Party affiliation doesn’t matter
That means:
If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.
Biden Briefed and Approved Mar-a-Lago Search
19 replies
A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home.
The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home.
In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team.
Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.
Former Vice President Mike Pence just reminded the MAGA movement what a duplicitous traitor he is — and always has been.
On Friday afternoon, Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s three liberal members to strike down President Trump’s signature tariff policy, a central tenet of his 2024 campaign.
Pence, who is widely despised across the conservative grassroots, took to the X platform to celebrate the decision:
Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.
Trump Calls on Netflix to Fire Susan Rice
18 replies
This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist.
On Preet Bharara’s podcast, Obama’s scandal-scarred former U.N. ambassador promised that any corporation, law firm, university, or media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted when the left is back in charge. “It’s not gonna end well for them,” she warned, casting basic engagement with the Trump administration as a kind of original sin that must be punished.
And now President Donald Trump wants accountability.
On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.
Dems will roll out their perfect agent

Abigail Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia, who has been tapped to deliver the Democrats’ State of the Union reply Tuesday night, is the perfect avatar for her party’s deception.
With her long blond bob, minimalist makeup, pinched face and brisk air, she looks like the sort of competent working mom you’d encounter at school drop-off in any affluent suburb. In other words, she seems like somebody you instinctively trust.
But don’t be fooled by appearances. Spanberger is an expert at subterfuge, having spent eight years as an undercover CIA case officer, aka a spy, under Barack Obama and John Brennan, in the era when Democrats turned national security back on itself.
The defendants, Samaneh Ghandali, 41, a U.S. citizen; her sister Soroor Ghandali, 32, an Iranian national on a student visa; and Samaneh’s husband Mohammadjavad Khosravi, 40, an Iranian national and legal permanent resident, were all residents of San Jose at the time of the theft.
Samaneh and Soroor previously worked at Google before joining another unnamed tech firm, while Khosravi, a former member of the Iranian army, was employed at a developer of system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series used in high-end Android phones and Apple’s iPhones.
