@GaryPeters @HaleyforMI The Michigan Democrat party is in shambles. Peters, Whitmer, Nessel and others welcomed the racist socialist Trojan horse. Now they are paying the price.

@IAPolls2022 The Democrat party in Michigan is done. Flatter than N US 127 roadkill. Thank you socialists! Saves Republicans a lot off money

The Michigan Democrat coalition is shattered, three months from Election Day

[Gerard Filitti @GerardFilitti]

Michigan's attorney general will not attend her own party's convention. Dana Nessel is a Jewish Democrat, and she says that if she walks into the Michigan Democratic convention on August 29 she expects to be chased, harassed, screamed at, and booed off the stage for being Jewish. In April her party picked a pro-Hezbollah candidate over a pro-Israel Jewish incumbent and booed a pro-Israel congresswoman off the floor. The witness against the Michigan Democratic Party is now its own highest-ranking Jewish official.

Attorney General Dana Nessel just said at a roundtable on antisemitism that she will not be attending the state party convention in August because she doesn’t feel safe, saying she doesn’t want to be harassed or booed off the stage.

This is sickening to me.

What has happened to our lives that a D AG is scared to show up at her party’s convention because she will be harassed on account of her religion?

Enough is enough.

The crazies who are taking over the D party must be stopped. https://t.co/wQuQGFgwnT

@BobDinMI I agree. Peters is a douchebag

@Mark_Penn Respectfully, consider this action IF YOUR REAL GOAL IS THE DESTRUCTION of NYC.
This is the prism every action taken Mamdani should be viewed from.
This exacerbates class warfare. It drives important tax dollars from the city.
This is an attack, not a tax

[Mark Penn @Mark_Penn]

Welcome to Socialism

Mayor Mamdani with fanfare released a list of 960,000 owners of real estate in New York City that have been determined they could owe the pied a terre tax because NYC computers have determined they own what was billed as a market value of $5 million or more.

Now there are only about 1 million residential tax lots in New York City so the first question is how did virtually every owner get put on the list?

The answer is that you are subject to the tax in the first two years if your property has a “DOF valuation” of over $1 million. And so the $5 million figure was a fake. The DOF system is obviously massively flawed as it has dragged in almost a million property owners that meet the threshold.

Now, here is the interesting part — once you are on the list you have to prove you should not be taxed by showing you are a resident. Or by challenging the valuation. Good luck fighting the city bureaucrats on both of these counts. The individual litigation will be massive.

It does not take more than a New York minute and Google Maps to see that many of these properties would never sell for $5 million. Pick a few. The whole housing sector will also be dragged down by the additional annual taxation. Add a tax of 4 to 6 per cent (yes condos are taxed that high now) a year of its DOF value to a condo or coop and that condo won’t be worth that much. And you can forget about out of town buyers. So this will destroy much of the home values that people have built up. People who have invested in New York.

Many of these folks might have a mortgage and may in fact not have they much equity in the property. The tax-the-rich taxman does not care about that. An unexpected $50,000 annual bill for a condo with a DOF value of a million now has the cost of a second mortgage on top of all the expenses.

The idea of the tax was basically to create massive taxation without representation. The people being taxed — non residents — by definition don’t vote and so the political genius was to create and discriminate against a class of people who do not vote. That by itself might be unconstitutional. And they also don’t use the schools, much garbage, much of any of the city’s services. So taxing them actually makes little sense as you drive away people who were contributing but not using the services.

Now many will recall that persecutions frequently begin with a list — a list that can be used by the authorities and that is where Mamdani started — and he published it to boot. And smiled about it as though those high-value owners deserve what’s coming to them.

But with a million people on his tax hit list, welcome to the lie of socialism - it starts with the idea that only “they” are going to get it — a small group of 30,000 homeowners — and before you know it you are on the list.

Senator John Fetterman responds to El-Sayed attacking his appearance, calling him an "ogre on a pike."

"I never worked out in male modeling. Call me Senator Shrek. Whatever! This guy is really the Pontiac Platner!"

"And now he's running to be the head of our emerging pro-Hamas wing here in the party!"

"Some of the things that he's done or said are unacceptable to me."

"I'm not really sure what I've really done or voted for that has offended the little guy so much."

"These same people like Bernie Sanders...created that Platner disaster!"

"He has no regrets...? Supporting an accused racist...a guy with a Nazi tattoo on his chest...roughed up his ex girlfriends."

"There's a level of arrogance and they believe they feel like they have some weird mandate!"

Read their platform:

Abolish the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court and immigration enforcement. Open the border wide. Grant mass amnesty. Defund the Pentagon.
