Call me crazy but I don't think a radical Indian Muslim communist named Zohran Kwame Mamdani from Uganda who only got citizenship 7 years ago should even be given the chance to be elected as mayor of America's largest city

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic to nonexistent. Anarchy and socialism are the next logical steps in this story arc. It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad.

It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better. The Zoomers and Millennials need a refresher on the outcome of Marxism and socialism. They are too young to remember the crack and crime epidemic and murder sprees of the late 80's and early 90's. The squeegee men, graffiti, mugging, lawlessness, chaos, and pandemonium. Streets that were too unsafe to walk alone at night or even during the day. Getting mugged on the way to and from school was not just a rite of passage, it was an inevitability.

The Wall Streeters, financiers, and hedge funders have been too busy working on their fishponds and climbing the rungs of polite society to remember to protect the system that allowed them to achieve their success in the first place and allowed New York City to once become the greatest city in the world. Not ruffling feathers was more important than questioning the ideological insanity being taught in the private schools and universities that they sent their kids to. All that mattered was fitting in and getting invited to the right dinner parties.

Now their kids are indoctrinated NPCs, always protesting and supporting the current thing. Like their parents, they too want to fit in. To do so, they unironically exchange bromides and platitudes on the benefits of socialism over rosé brunches in the West Village. Because their friends hate America and capitalism, they do too. It never dawns on them that their lifestyle and studio apartment that their parents subsidize are all made possible because of capitalism.

This delusional thinking was ingrained in them at an early age by institutions that were captured by insane ideology and left unchecked by their grossly negligent parents. Instead of providing their children with immunity from stupid and provably bad ideas that have only led to misery and death throughout history, these parents shrugged it off as kids will be kids.

Now these kids are adults who can vote, but are totally unequipped to do so. In many ways it’s not their fault. From their parents, they learned some combination of magical thinking, preference falsification, and an inability to stand up for anything greater than themselves. As a result, they never learned how to think critically or independently. They never learned the value of Western civilization so they don't understand why, or know how, to fight for it.

Sometimes the only way to learn something is to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the only way to learn the value of what you have is to lose it. If that’s the case, Marxism and socialism might just be what the doctor ordered.

Put antisemitism aside: Can someone explain to me how a guy who’s never held a real job, and throws around populist empty promises of giving away everything for free like it’s a fucking video game, is qualified to run the most important city in America? Are people that stupid?

@BasedMikeLee Alkonis is a despicable murderer who killed two people while driving drowsy, but got away with it by lying about being sick.

[Ben B. @bcb_md]

@RepLaLota @BrittanyAlkonis @BringRidgeHome He killed two people, injured three others and you’re making him into some kind of hero? You’re both disgusting.

He cannot win. NYC is finished if he does. @ZohranKMamdani

Zohran Mamdani announces he'll launch government-run supermarkets in NYC if elected mayor.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Zohran Mamdani has announced he wants to implement government-owned supermarkets in NYC.

He is literally trying to implement communism in New York. New Yorkers need to get out to vote.

[Angela Belcamino @AngelaBelcamino]

You can't say you care about NYC and also vote for Zohran Mamdani.

This is the predicament for New Yorkers.

[Based Bandita @BasedBandita]

Here is NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani with Streamer Hassan Piker, who said “America deserves 9/11” and was investigated by Homeland Security.

How could New York City possibly elect this man?

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Former rapper and socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has pulled ahead of Andrew Cuomo in the city’s primary, according to a new poll.

Mamdani, 33, has pulled ahead of Cuomo in a new Emerson poll, leading him 52% to 48%.

Mamdani is accused of voicing his love for leaders of a nonprofit convicted of funneling $12 million to Hamas.

“This is him saying he loves, that is his own words, he loves the Holy Land Five, who are convicted, funders of Hamas. It’s disgusting and despicable,” Cuomo said, reacting to one of his songs.

Mamdani used to rap under the name, “Mr. Cardamom.”

Extremely careless and sloppy senator. Utahns, is this what you want in a senator?

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

I want to be COMPLETELY clear:

My bill exempts ALL parks, monuments, wilderness areas, etc., from the federal land sale. We exempt 15 categories of land, including land where people have valid existing rights. And even then, it's less than ONE PERCENT of federal land.

This is to help American families afford a home.

Read the language for yourself, & don't fall for the scams (& some honest mistakes) pushed by some.

[Ben B. @bcb_md]

@SenMikeLee No it wasn’t. Can’t you do anything other than parrot Trump’s talking points, monkey?

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

Saying “that’s what makes America great” is treated like a slur, causes silence and an apology. Wild.

[PeterSweden @PeterSweden7]

SHOCKING

218 Christians were just massacred by islamists in Nigeria.

And the mainstream media is covering it up because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Pass it on - Let the world know.
