Normally, as a result of how heavily New York City is infested with leftist Democrats anyone who wins the Democrat primary in New York City will be the next mayor of New York City, and since Zohran Mamdani won, he's already been anointed by the left and their catspaws in the Pravda media, and he's been acting as if his anointing has been confirmed. Only it hasn't .... at least not yet. The Democrat primary isn't the election, so let's take a look a Zohran Mamdani, and the stuff that's not being reported.
Ben Shapiro
reported saying:They did it they finally did it. Those maniacs. They blew it up. As
New Yorkers walk dazed through the streets of the world's greatest
city, seeking perhaps the half-buried Statue of Liberty lying beneath
the silent sands of a deserted beach in the Forbidden Zone, one thing has
become clear: The young revolutionaries of the Democratic Party are
ready to take control of their party's future.
And there's hardly anyone
left to stop them. On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Ugandan-born trust fund
baby -- the scion of a Columbia University post-colonialism professor
and an Oscar-nominated Hollywood director -- won a stunning Democratic
primary victory over disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Mamdani immediately declared that he would be running against
"billionaires" in order to preserve "democracy." In Socialist-speak,
this means that he will propose massive rent freeze regulations,
city-owned grocery stores and a bevy of free goods that would make a
child running for fifth-grade president blush.
Is Mamdani the new leader of the Democrat party? Well, Shapiro isn't alone in that assessment, as
Alex Marlow is calling Zohran Mamdani the Democrats new leader, and for the same reason, the core base of the party is just as radical as Mamdani.
Marlow went on to say no one can win a Democrat primary without debasing themselves. Their positions must be the most radical or they can't survive the primaries. “Democrats are going to have to embarrass themselves in
order to pander to their voters…they will have to humiliate themselves,
debase and degrade themselves in order to get through their own
primaries.” In Mamdani's case, he's not debasing himself at all. He's a true believer in leftist insanity.
Tim Donner calls this a
Democrat dumpster fire, Robin Itzler says, and I think rightfully so,
New York’s Big Apple could be replaced with a hammer and sickle. New York is a mess, but the voters choice to fix it is a radical choice by
jumping from the frying pan deep into the fire.
However, Derek Hunter is all in favor of a Mamdani mayoralty since it will
help New York City to kill itself, since the only cure for NYC is:
A total "embrace of
socialist/fascist/communist policies (and there isn’t a dime’s worth of
difference between the three) will ween those people off their addiction
to seeking government to solve their problems/improve their lives. Let
it die, and let them choke on whatever damage and harm to people it does
along the way".
And make sure the federal government in no way bails them out. Let's face it, even though
the Democrat leadership may think this man's positions make the Democrat party unelectable outside of places like NYC, they're going to embrace him and declare he's good and Donald Trump is bad. Why? Because that's all they have, and his policies are the policies the base embraces.
The Democrats defense of Mamdani, a true radical, is on autopilot being
endorsed by Clinton and De Blasio. Wow! Imagine that. Did I mention profane?
Democrats having no filter on their thoughts or expressions, all of which are stupid, many of which are profane. Any criticism of him is automatically racist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic because Stephen Miller noted "NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.” The
Dem Congressman's responses? He tells Jewish Stephen Miller to go back to 1930's Germany calling him a racist f..k.
Well, is it racist, Islamophobic or xenophobic to point out there's a
Muslim visa specialist in U.S. State Department who "helps illegal aliens avoid deportation". And why? Because he says, " ‘f**k Americans, f**k Israel. I hate [Israelis] to death". Yet he’s an American government bureaucrat.
Islamophobia doesn't exist. A phobia is an unnatural fear, and almost 1500 years of history, incontestable history, has made it clear there's justification to fear Islam, and is in no way unnatural, and the same holds true of xenophobia. The fact is when you
elect the third world, you get the third world and the Nitwit Brigade is
rejoicing claiming he's ‘A New Hope’.
Who is this "New Hope"?
Rep. Andy Ogles is requesting the Justice Department run an investigation into "credible
concerns that he may have obtained citizenship under false pretenses, including sympathies for convicted terrorists.

"Mamdani is an antisemite"..... "who doesn't believe Israel has a right to exist"...., "a socialist/communist openly expressed solidarity
with the Holy Land Foundation Five — a group convicted in 2008 for
funneling millions to Hamas, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist
organization responsible for countless civilian deaths. That public support for convicted
terrorists — voiced before Mamdani became a U.S. citizen — may
constitute a willful misrepresentation or concealment of terrorist
sympathies during his naturalization process..... refused to denounce the
pro-terrorist slogan “Globalize the Intifada,” a radical chant used in
recent leftist street protests calling for violent uprisings worldwide —
including on U.S. soil..... [and] reasonably
suggests underlying conduct relevant to eligibility for naturalization.
If an individual publicly glorifies a group convicted of financing
terrorism, it is entirely appropriate for federal authorities to inquire
whether that individual engaged in non-public forms of support such as
organizational affiliation, fundraising, or advocacy-that would have
required disclosure on Form N-400 or during a naturalization
interview.......has recently refused opportunities to reject
the pro-terrorist rallying cry to “globalize the intifada” — a call to
expand violent attacks on civilians to the United States and around the
world....[his] admiration for individuals convicted of
supporting terrorism, a troubling pattern emerges that warrants formal
scrutiny............Deliberate concealment of relevant associations may
may constitute a material misrepresentation sufficient to
support de-naturalization under federal law.
The Editorial Board at Insights & Issues says this of blue state socialism: You Wanted It, Now You Get It … Good And Hard
Faced with the failure of their policies,
far-left and outright socialist Democrats in blue-state America are
doubling down. Whether it’s New York, California or Midwestern leftist
havens Minnesota and Illinois, the socialist model will bring only more
failure and misery to its citizens. And, because they voted for it,
they’ll get what they deserve.
Zohran Wants to Make the USA Uganda - New
York City, especially the purple-haired people, are allegedly agog
about the new sensation, communist anarchist Islamist Zohran Mamdani,
who was born in Uganda. He’s excited about himself too and wants his
third world-style ideology to spread with the Democrat
banner. “Absolutely,” he blathered, “I think ultimately, this is a
campaign
about inequality, and you don’t have to live in the most expensive city
in the country to have experienced that inequality, because it’s a
national issue.”....
Which I would suppose that includes promoting
his brand of Islam (there are a lot of brands of Islam which is why
there's unending violence in those nations) that believes there's a 1200-year-old final ‘prophet’ who is
going to come out of hiding and spread Islam worldwide. And no one
has asked him if he actually believes that. Imagine that, are you as shocked at that as I am?
Mamdani wants to spend $65 million on sex change drugs and surgeries for minors and adults if elected. He wants to ban all guns, dismantle the police, abolish
prisons, freeze rents, punish bad
landlords (which I have no objection to except they will define what's
bad), more affordable housing, free bus fare, free childcare, much
higher taxes on the wealthy and big corporations, raise the minimum wage
to $30.00 an hour, expand health care services, and “create a a network of city owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit.” The mission will be to offer lower prices, and no price gouging.
Well,
historically that's been an abject failure in every possible way, and
everywhere, as the linked article shows. Another demonstration of his
lack of practical experience, and stunningly little knowledge. What's
the percent of profit in a successful grocery store? One percent! Wow!
Price gouging? What's the overall percentage the state of New York
confiscates in income taxes? It runs from 4% to 10.9%, and another 3.078% to 3.876% in local taxes. Does anyone really think they're worth it?
The owner of one of New York's largest grocery chains (if I recall they've been in business in NYC for 100 years) says if Mamdani is elected he's going to either close or sell all of his stores. Is it any wonder Donald Trump calls him a communist lunatic?
Well, there's resistance to this nitwit. Even rapper 50 Cent, a native New Yorker wants this carpetbagger from Uganda to leave and he's putting his money where his mouth is.
NYC's Wealthiest Revolt Against Mamdani Candidacy -It's safe to say that Wall
Street is not thrilled that a democratic socialist has won the
Democratic primary to be the next mayor. In the wake of Zohran Mamdani's upset victory over Andrew Cuomo, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman tweeted a lengthy plea for a viable independent candidate to emerge ASAP, reports Fortune.
Any such candidate's campaign would get an immediate cash infusion, he
writes. "Importantly, there are hundreds of millions of dollars of
capital
available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together
overnight (believe me, I am in the text strings and the WhatsApp groups)
so that a great alternative candidate won't spend any time raising
funds.".....
And as I said, he won the
Democrat primary, he hasn't won the election and there are other
candidates. Although he humiliated Cuomo in the primary I have to keep
coming back to the fact only 5% of New Yorkers voted for Mamdani, and it appears Cuomo will still appear on the ballot. Mayor Adams has launched his bid for re-election as an independent, saying:
“It’s a choice between a candidate with a blue collar and one with a suit and a silver spoon...... "a snake oil salesman who would say and
do anything to get elected,"
Then there's the Republican "nominee", Curtis Sliwa. The trouble with Curtis
Sliwa is he's not really a politician, and doesn't have an organization
behind him, including the Republicans who don't even have a primary and
just anoint him as their candidate. That's not a good sign. Without
an organization beating the drum 24/7 between elections highlighting
policy differences, there's no chance for an election upset. However,
it appears Mamdani, who has already been anointed as mayor of NYC by
everyone, only got around 5% of the votes of NYC's voting public. Cuomo
will still will be on the ballot and Mayor Eric Adams as officially launched his bid as an independent.
What does the other 95% of NYC's voting public think
about all of this? His anointing may have been just a little premature,
but we'll see, since even these provably bad choices are better than Mamdani.
The Democrat party and the left in general is in deep trouble. They're leaderless, rudderless, uninspired and a bunch of rude, incoherent, ranting, obnoxious disruptive whiners with no solutions other that Trump is Bad as a platform.
Can the left reform? I think asking the left to reform is like asking Islam to reform. If they
reform, they don’t exist. The foundational moral values on of both leftism and
Islam are hate, greed, envy, lust, violence, and an insane desire to accumulate
so much power they can control everyone’s life in the minutest detail, and kill
any who resists without consequence. That’s
leftism and Islam in all off their manifestations, both
striving to see which can claim the title of world’s greatest mass murderer.
Update, 2:45 PM: My Take: This lends credibility to the idea the other 95% of New York City voters may not choose this carpetbagger. RK

Update, 6/28/25:
- Whoa! WaPo Drops Blistering Op-Ed on Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani - Well this was certainly unexpected. The leftist Washington Post dropped a
devastating op-ed Friday by its editorial board that ripped into
democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani and said that he
would be “bad for New York.”.........Zohran Mamdani, son of a Marxist professor and namesake of the 1962 Lenin Peace Prize winner, is too much of a communist even for the Washington Post editorial board:.....Even for many libs, this permanently-grinning specter with his
socialist utopia visions, grand tax schemes and antisemitism is a bridge
too far. The Post agrees, and they give the entire game away in their headline: Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party..............
Update, 6/29, 25
- Mamdani: Ban All Guns Except Those of Hamas - “We need to ban all guns,” Zohran Mamdani tweeted. But Mamdani appeared at a Brooklyn hate mosque where the Imam had prayed for the success of Hamas........ “Oh Allah, grant victory to our mujahideen (Jihadist) brothers in
Palestine,” he prayed to his religion’s deity and hailed the Hamas
terrorists who were “holding out, steadfast, after 316 days? 316 days!
We ask Allah to make them strong and guide their shooting.” So I guess Mamdani wants to ban all guns… except those held by Hamas. That’s gun control. The Islamic way..........
- Quote of the day - I think I will have more to say about Zohran Mamdani when I can
compile something close to the full lineup of his egregious positions.
Today I yield to Tim Kelly — a former Minneapolis attorney who has moved
out of the state in retirement. After serving as a platoon leader in
Vietnam, he attended the University of Minnesota Law School, clerked on
the Supreme Court for Chief Justice Burger.............
- Communist
NYC Mayoral Candidate Says “I Don’t Think We Should Have Billionaires” –
Doubles Down on Targeting ‘Whiter Neighborhoods’ with Higher Taxes - Zohran Mamdani has
proudly stated he plans to fund his radical transformation of the city
if he is elected: he will hike property taxes for “richer and whiter
neighborhoods.”...... he doubled down
on the race-based approach to paying for his radical agenda, although he
tried to suggest his proposal was “not driven by race.”..... It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being
under-taxed versus over-taxed,” ........“I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly.”.....
- Veteran NYPD Officers Signal Exodus if Zohran Mamdani Becomes Mayor - Veteran NYPD officers are signaling a possible exodus if radical socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York City. Although Zohran Mamdani claims he will not “defund the police” or
shrink their workforce, veteran officers are not buying the sudden,
politically motivated reversal of his prior positions. Experts worry that, with crime spiraling and a potential mass exodus
of police, the city would face a total breakdown in public safety should
he be elected. During the 2020 protests following George Floyd’s death, Mamdani explicitly advocated for defunding the NYPD. .............
- 9/11 Forgotten – NYC Poised to Elect Muslim Communist as Mayor - New York City has evidently forgotten all about the horrors of
9/11. New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani just won the
Democratic nomination for the mayoral election after disgraced Andrew
Cuomo conceded. He is a radical Muslim communist, and if elected (which
is almost a certainty), he will finish off the Big Apple. New York City has evidently forgotten all about the horrors of 9/11.

- Islamic Communist Zohran Mamdani Funded by Shadowy David Hogg PAC - Few realize that one of Islamic communist Zohran Mamdani’s largest
backers was a little-known PAC called “Leaders We Deserve,” spearheaded
by leftist, anti-gun antagonist David Hogg and Kevin Lata, Rep. Maxwell
Frost’s (D-FL) former campaign manager. Few realize that one of Islamic communist Zohran Mamdani’s largest backers was a little-known PAC called “Leaders We Deserve,” spearheaded by leftist, anti-gun antagonist David Hogg and Kevin Lata, Rep. Maxwell Frost’s (D-FL) former campaign manager........ Touted on their site “as a grassroots organization
dedicated to electing young progressives to Congress and State
Legislatures across the country to help defeat the far-right agenda and
advance a progressive vision for the future,” it appears to be a
communist organization that is recruiting young voters to further
Marxism.
Update, 6/30/25:
- Tens of Thousands of “New Voters” Registered to Vote for Mamdani - These numbers are not natural. The New York Times has a shallow cheerleading article about where
Zohram Mamdani’s votes came from. As I already pointed out, Mamdani
benefited from low turnout below 30% and won the vote of some 5% of New Yorkers. But the Times has some interesting figures in this chart. Mr. Mamdani’s campaign had focused on registering voters,
and he also appears to have drawn thousands of voters to the primary
who did not vote four years ago. Those are pretty incredible numbers. 40,000 voters would make up nearly 10% of Mamdani’s totals. Who are these new voters?...............
- We’ve talked about Zohran Mamdani’s leftism; let’s talk about his Islamism now- Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat party’s candidate for mayor of New York,
has attracted attention for the fact that he’s a hardcore communist.
However, his religious beliefs deserve some attention, too. First, there’s the fact that he’s a Shia Muslim who is affiliated with the Twelver Branch that drives the Iranian mullahs. Back in 2006, the late Bernard Lewis wrote about this ideology when he explained why the mullahs are not necessarily amenable to the doctrine of mutually assured destruction:...........
If Mamdani wins, NYC’s police have no intention of dying in the name of social justice.- Zohran Mamdani, the Marxist-Muslim tapped as the leading candidate to
become New York City’s next mayor, does not believe in the police.
Instead, he believes in social workers. The police, in turn, do not
believe in being handcuffed in their duties and exposed to a high risk
of death in a city that no longer allows them to do their jobs. If
Mamdani wins, they’re saying, they walk. In the lead-up to the New York City Democrat mayoral primary, Mamdani
was very clear about his desire to rid New York City of the troublesome
plague of active policing. Instead, he plans to
shift the focus to social workers (which was, as you may recall, one of the promises of the “Defund the Police” movement). Jacobin, the hard left outlet,
describes his plan in the most glowing terms:.........
