The U.S. Senate campaign of a Democrat is getting derailed by possible mortgage fraud related to two real estate properties. Angela Alsobrooks, a Maryland county executive, bought a home in Washington, D.C., that belonged to her grandmother and benefitted from tax breaks attached to the home from 2003 until she sold the home in 2018. Unfortunately for Alsobrooks, she was not qualified for those tax breaks. 'Angela Alsobrooks is lobbying for favors as she campaigns on raising Social Security taxes.'The Democrat is running to fill Maryland's open seat in the U.S. Senate that was vacated by Sen. Ben Cardin, who is retiring after three terms. Republicans could pick up the seat and possibly regain control of the Senate if Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan beats Alsobrooks in November. Alsobrooks similarly improperly benefitted for homestead tax breaks for a property she owned in Maryland and rented out. A senior advisor for the Democrat told CNN that she had been unaware of the tax breaks and was working to settle the tax debts incurred by the revelations. Hogan bashed the Democrat over the tax improprieties. Angela Alsobrooks has once again shown us that she believes there’s one set of rules for her and another for everyone else. Instead of taking responsibility and paying her tax debt in full, she sought special treatment. While everyday Maryland families are struggling to make ends meet amid soaring inflation, Angela Alsobrooks is lobbying for favors as she campaigns on raising Social Security taxes. Governor Hogan has always stood up for taxpayers and fiscal responsibility. In the Senate, he will continue to work to make life more affordable for Maryland families.WJLA-TV reported that the tax bill added up to $47,580.56. Polls have the Democrat currently ahead of Hogan, who has tried to reach out to centrist Democratic voters for support. Like Blaze News?

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series in early September, the company introduced the A18 Pro chip as "the fastest CPU in any smartphone." The A18 chip that powers the non-Pro iPhone 16 models has to be almost as fast.  But I knew going into the Glowtime event that I would not buy an iPhone 16 Pro this year. Instead, I chose the iPhone 16 Plus, with the A18 Pro's chip being the least of my worries. I wanted a larger screen, better battery life, Apple Intelligence, and the Camera Control button.  I took the iPhone 16 performance for granted, trusting the A18 would be a great upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro's A16 Bionic. It would be an upgrade that I wouldn't notice when it comes to speed. Instead, I counted on it to deliver fast AI and improved energy efficiency.  A few weeks later, I don't have Apple Intelligence because it's not out yet, and Europe will have to wait even longer. However, the iPhone 16 Plus battery is as good as I had hoped.  Also, we finally have a speed test involving the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra to determine which phone is the fastest. The results are incredibly predictable for the current state of the mobile industry. Continue reading...
