Mamdani published the names and home addresses of nearly one million property owners, then targeted them with another tax.
Now homeowners are fighting back in court, and they are right to do it. Your home is not a political target, and your success is not a crime.
I stopped a planned $150 million tax hike in Nassau because government should protect homeowners, not treat them like an ATM.
When I am Governor, I will stand between Mamdani and every New Yorker he tries to tax, intimidate, or drive away. I will defend private property and fight for prosperity.
@Osint613@NYCMayor did you know @GovUganda unveiled a statue of @netanyahu brother at the airport celebrating his bravery and heroism? Cant make this up

Journey to Star-forming Region Gum 19 in Vela | New Technology Telescope https://t.co/0CiOBUIXrF: This video zooms in onto the star-forming region Gum 19, located towards the constellation of Vela (the Sail).
No security screening was required to enter an event featuring the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, Cabinet Secretaries, and Members of Congress?
This failure of even the most basic security protocols—as inexplicable as it is inexcusable—demands an immediate investigation.
Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.
8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.
16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.
17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.
18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.
19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.
22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Yes, Gaddafi hated Israel, but this speech he gave at the Arab League Summit I believe in 2007 made the entire Arab world drop their jaws as he openly admitted that it was the Arabs, and not Israel, that attacked and forced the displacement of Arabs from the land, and it was the Arab Muslims in Egypt and Jordan who occupied Gaza, Samaria and Judea and refused to give the “Palestinians” a state. He admits that all of it was the responsibility of the Arabs and not the Jews, and that the Jews have the right to sue the Arabs for the massacres of Jews at the hands of the Arabs and for all the damage caused.
Watch, listen and share.
🚨 BREAKING: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ADMITS TO SYSTEMIC ANTISEMITISM 🚨
Columbia’s own task force has finally admitted the truth.
In a 70-page internal report, Columbia confirms that Jewish and Israeli students were harassed, isolated, and targeted. Not by fringe activists, but by the professors paid to teach them.
Here’s what Columbia itself now admits:
• Israeli students were publicly called murderers in class
• Jewish students were told their people survived the Holocaust just to commit genocide
• A rare class on Zionism was disrupted simply for not being hostile to Jews
• Professors read private emails from Jewish students out loud to shame them
• Classes were canceled so students could protest Israel
• Others were held in “Zionist-free” protest camps. Open ethnic exclusion
• A required class of over 400 students was told Israel is “so-called Israel” and that Jewish donors were laundering blood money
• One professor denied Hamas sexual violence, calling the reports “exaggerated or fabricated” during a class on advocacy
• Graduate students were told to “teach for Palestine” in every subject
• A professor claimed Theodor Herzl was an antisemite and that Eastern European Jews were not really Jewish
• Anti-Israel messaging was forced into astronomy, architecture, photography, nonprofit management, and more. Wherever they could inject antizionist hate, they did
• Columbia’s task force confirmed that swapping the word Jew for Zionist does not make it any less antisemitic
Columbia admits it has no full-time Middle East faculty who are NOT antizionist.
In other words, every professor teaching the region wants to dissolve the world’s only Jewish state in the Jewish ancestral homeland.
And the faculty behind it?
Still employed. Still spreading antizionist hate. No accountability whatsoever.
This report is not reform.
It is a signed confession.
Columbia engineered a campus-wide assault on Jewish identity and called it education.
Bookmark this post.
Spread the truth.
Stop pretending this is a debate.
This is a moral collapse.
And it happened at one of America’s most "elite" institutions.
No one gets to say “we didn’t know.”
Now you do.
