If your views are 100% aligned to a political party, you aren't thinking hard enough.

I am a lawyer by profession. Jewish lawyers in NY are common as 50% of all lawyers in NY are in fact Jewish
The NYC judicial panel advises who should be a judge. Mamdani failed to include a single Jewish lawyer. The statistical odds are .55 to the 18th power that this is random

Omg. Jerry Seinfeld is a LEGEND.

“Pro-Palestine” nut jobs interrupted his show, take a listen to his response. I can’t stop laughing.

“You just gave money to a Jew. That cannot be a good plan for you”

This is real. When a conservative finds out someone is liberal they're like "Sigh."

When a liberal finds out someone is conservative they want them skinned, tarred, destroyed.

The hatred liberals have for conservatives FAR outweigh the annoyance conservatives have of liberals.

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

The MAGA big tent is very different than the democrat circus…

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

There's an asymmetry in how liberals and conservatives evaluate one another.

Liberals dehumanize conservatives more than conservatives suspect. Conservatives dehumanize liberals less than liberals suspect.

@TVietor08 @PodSaveAmerica What a heartbreaking tragedy. So sorry to hear about that Tommy. 🙏🙏🙏

🚨 JUST IN: Panic is growing in the Democrat Party after a left-wing Reuters/Ipsos poll just found REPUBLICANS LEAD by +4 points on the ECONOMY, +17 on crime, +7 on immigration, and are only down -2 in the 2026 Congressional ballot, 40%-38%

The HOUSE has become a TOTAL TOSSUP, and Hakeem Jeffries wanted a blue tsunami! 🔥

Keep pushing for secure elections so they CAN'T cheat their way out of it.

Inside Elections forecast suggests Republicans need merely 3 tossup seats to win back the majority 🇺🇸

We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@lovettshow I like how Lovett is the only one who gets Trump's old man references like the banjo from Deliverance

@PodSaveAmerica Like the new studio. But why have those boxes distorting the Statue of Liberty and eagle in the background? Just go with the full image! Some audio issues, but great overall!

I am not kidding: This is how they started with government grocery stores, mass nationalization and price controls in Venezuela.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

ICE has killed five Americans in self defense. Illegal immigrants have killed 1,713 Americans.

Guess which one Democrats have a problem with.

[Phil McAlister @phil_mcalister]

A few very obvious points on Mamdani's grocery stores:

1. The supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day 1, and every day there is a new shipment. This is basic econ 101.

2. This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries. Expect to see the city ration these groceries in some other way. By income, or neighborhood or some lottery system.

3. Grocery margins are notoriously low as it is (like 2-3%). These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30% below market, or they'll sell so little it will be insignificant.

4. There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart, or Meier, or Whole Foods, whose survival depends on it. Their costs will be far higher (unless they use government bludgeon to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices).

5. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Equador for like 60 cents, or fresh grapes from Chile in the dead of Midwestern winter for 2 bucks a pound, and Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for $15 -20 bucks or so. Truly stop and think about that for a minute. It's a miracle.

The median full time hourly wage is around $31 dollars. For ONE HOUR of work, the median working American can get all of the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories. They can feed themselves for 10 days (or a family of 4 for around 2 and a half days), with an hour of labor.

This is the stupidest industry for socialists to go after.

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

Last week, my mom got a "pied-a-terre" tax notice. She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million). She has no other residence.

Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists?

She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.)

Thanks, Zohran Kwame.

🚨 JUST IN: Ugandan Mayor Mamdani is facing outrage for PUBLICLY POSTING a SEARCHABLE database of "wealthy" property owners in NYC

"The city just posted a searchable list of every homeowner on the hook for his new tax. Names, addresses, 30,000 of them." 🤯

"A socialist mayor handing out a rolodex of the rich in a city that just watched a CEO get gunned down on a sidewalk. Sounds like a HIT LIST."

This communist wants more violence, MAKE NO MISTAKE.

[Retard Finder @IfindRetards]

Incredible stuff here after the terror attack in Paris earlier.

One short paragraph separates the confessed motive from "The motive for the attack remains unknown."

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

Mamdani holding up the bananas is very funny.

Bananas are like 20 cents each. Bananas are solved.

This is NYC. There are a million complex technocratic tasks waiting to be solved.

What are we even doing here?
