Zohran Mamdani, a self-identified far-left Democrat socialist, has secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor after defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo…proving that New Yorkers have very short memories.
Foreign-born Mamdani defeating Cuomo in the Democratic primary sent shockwaves through political circles on X, sparking widespread concern over the rise of anti-American far-left extremism.
We have a question for New Yorkers:
How did you go from Muslim Extremists knocking down the twin towers to NYC being on the verge of electing a Shia Muslim Mayor?
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
Ironically (or NOT) one of our favorite legit journalists, Matt Taibbi, in his inimitable style, poignantly described the rapid ascent of Mamdani as follows:
New York City’s mayoral race has been won by Zohran Mamdani, no Bernie Sanders-style imitator but the real thing — son of a famed socialist scholar and Marvel superhero to every Jacobin-reading, keffiyeh-wearing student activist huddled in Judean People’s Front-type confabs, between bell hooks readings and visits to Mom and Dad on the Upper West Side. In this country, it’s the most significant movement victory in a century, almost certainly presaging in the near future an epic clash at the summit of American politics between socialism and, well, anything else. As Michael Buffer would say, “Let’s get ready to rum-m-m-ble.”
As for his policies…
It’s a yummy pu-pu platter of rent freezes, free bus rides, free child care, and subsidized city-owned grocery stores that will “buy and sell at wholesale prices” and “centralize warehousing and distribution,” clamping down on those evil bodega owners and private supermarkets that force overpriced Fritos and soda on the poor. This will be the AOC theory of inflation caused by “price gouging” deployed in life, via a program to reverse ongoing harms of colonialism by liberating humans and non-human food animals from industry-driven food myths that compel us to harm our bodies, and — have you stabbed yourself in the face yet? ¡Viva la revolución!
Spot on, Matt!
We need more guys like you reporting the news instead of the Wall Street bought-and-paid-for talking head Presstitutes.
At this point we want to issue a warning to Floridians.
Because when NYC turns into a communist sh**hole those who voted for Mamdani can just escape to their daddy’s mansion in Florida.
Somewhere in South Florida, governor Ron DeSantis can be heard saying:
Just when you thought Palm Beach real estate couldn’t go any higher…
LOL!
Meanwhile, Wall Street is freaking out.
As a result, certain financial executives spoke to the WSJ of backing Mayor Eric Adams, who is expected to run in November as an independent.
The old Chinese proverb, “May you live in interesting times” is certainly true in today’s world.
So, learn how to prosper AND thrive in “interesting times” by reading our upcoming July newsletter (HERE).
And share this with a friend…especially if they live or are from New York. They’ll thank YOU later.
And tell them:
