Was there some sort of cringe-fest competition last night? Because liberals in NYC and all across the country are celebrating the new Muslim mayor-elect, and it’s unclear who outdid themselves.

Firstly, I’m glad that at least some voters have realized they may — or may not — have just turned their city into a so-called “Muslim country.” What’s comical about that is that many of the countries they claim they’d rather move to wouldn’t even allow this kind of dancing on screen. You know, considering they’re women — and many of those countries don’t exactly have what you’d call “women’s rights.” It’s also ironic that many of them wouldn’t even be allowed to vote in elections in those same Muslim countries. But I digress.

Defeated in their efforts to keep an avowed socialist out of New York City’s Gracie Mansion, some Big Apple business leaders are turning to next year’s race for the New York governor’s office.

As news of Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani’s win in Tuesday’s mayoral race sank in, The New York Times reported Wednesday that Wall Street financiers are “already thinking about how they could blunt his most liberal initiatives, turning their attention to Albany, which has the power to block many of his proposals, like raising corporate taxes.”

And that could spell trouble for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Hochul is the Democrat who succeeded now former Gov. Andrew Cuomo when Cuomo resigned in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal and lingering questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(“Lingering questions” is a charitable way to describe accusations that Cuomo’s administration was directly responsible for the COVID deaths of thousands of nursing home patients.)

One day after being elected Mayor of New York City, Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani has announced his all-female “transition team.”

His mayoral transition will be led by five socialist women.

What could go wrong?

Here they are:

Zohran Mamdani, Nicholas Fuentes, and others of their ilk feast on resentment.

That America’s political soil is fertile for this effort isn’t surprising — globalism and fiscal profligacy put the American Dream out of reach for millions, while the decline of faith turned the deadly sin of envy into a virtue.

Faith had largely immunized America to ruinous class envy, as had the abounding visible examples of those who worked hard and made a better mouse trap.

The aim of political systems, insofar as they contend with wealth creation and property, is to do one of three things: to foster a system where all can optimize their individual capacity for making money; to protect those with property from those who want it; or to forcibly redistribute property along politically advantageous lines. The latter two systems — notably feudalism and Marxism — are not concerned with wealth creation, so much as they are with the question of who owns what.

The mass exodus from New York has already begun.

Following Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral election win, rap legend 50 Cent says he has escaped New York!

After Tuesday night’s election results, he posted several social media posts rampaging against Mamdani’s regime and calling on his followers to leave New York, too.

In one post, the rapper claimed that NYC “is over.”

“Pack it up, let’s go!”

Check it out:

Here’s another one of 50 Cent’s posts from after Mamdani won:

Blurb:

The only racial group that leaned against Mamdani were white New Yorkers, who went 46 percent for Cuomo and 45 percent for Mamdani. White men in particular favored Cuomo 49 percent to 42 percent.

An overwhelming 84 percent of Gen Z women voted for socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in Tuesday’s election, while white men were the only demographic to vote against him.

According to NBC News exit polling, among women ages 18-29, 84 percent supported Mamdani. 67 percent of men in the same age group also voted for him. Overall, voters under 50 heavily backed Mamdani, while those over 50 broke for his opponent, former Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Mamdani won across most demographics, leading among both men and women overall, as well as voters identifying as “very liberal,” 84 percent of whom supported him. The only racial group that leaned against Mamdani was white New Yorkers, who went 46 percent for Cuomo and 45 percent for Mamdani. White men in particular favored Cuomo 49 percent to 42 percent.

The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York City, that once-unconquerable fortress of American grit and ingenuity. Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old firebrand of foreign birth and socialist fury, has seized the mayoralty like a conqueror planting his flag on enemy soil. Uganda-born, South Asian-rooted, and steeped in the toxic brew of far-left radicalism, he now stands as the Big Apple’s first Muslim, first South Asian, and first avowed socialist overlord – a triple-threat abomination that mocks every principle our forefathers bled for. With 50.4% of the vote, he trounced Andrew Cuomo’s 42% and left Curtis Sliwa’s pathetic 7.1% in the gutter, all while crowing about a “mandate for change” that reeks of chains and collectivism. And in his victory speech?

Blurb:

Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. It’s not shocking—we all knew this was going to happen based on the shambolic candidates the anti-Mamdani folks selected. His victory address was wild, quoting Eugene Debs, which riled up his supporters. It did not sit well with Van Jones last night, who felt it was a missed opportunity to moderate and not scare the hell out of roughly half the city that voted against him. But he also said that he’s young and pulled off a difficult campaign —did he, Jones? Given the opposition, this guy cruised to a win—the race was called quickly:

Blurb:

It was not a good night for Republicans on Tuesday. It was a blue tsunami that wiped out GOP candidates nationwide. From New Hampshire to Georgia, it was a killing field. In Virginia, Democrat Jay Jones, who wished death upon his GOP colleagues and their children, is now attorney general. In New York City, the Democrats opted to elect an unqualified socialist who hates first responders, wants free busing, and plans to make all corner stores government-run, essentially. CNN’s Scott Jennings issued a warning to the CNN panel that was gloating over the Democrats’ wins—they own this.

“I see the energy in Virginia Democrats looking the other way on a violent candidate for attorney general who says he wants to murder Republicans and their children. If you think you’re getting rid of Graham Platner in Maine now, think again. This is a terrible night for the national Democratic image given what is happening inside their party.”

Jennings pressed on: “Mamdani is an avowed socialist. It’s not what people say that he is. It’s what he says that he is. He’s now the leader of their party. That’s their energy and Chuck Schumer’s —”

Democratic New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to take office on Jan. 1, 2026, but the 34-year-old self-avowed socialist will face significant obstacles in his transition from campaigning to governing, political analysts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Mamdani won Tuesday night’s mayoral election with barely a majority of the vote cast, receiving 50.4% of the vote, less than 10 points ahead of his closest rival, former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who garnered 41.6%. Although he still came up short, Cuomo — who ran an independent campaign after losing the Democratic nomination to Mamdani on June 24 — outperformed multiple pre-election polls, some of which showed the socialist leading by as many as 25 points.

After the race was called in his favor, Mamdani took the stage at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater, where he delivered a heavily scrutinized victory speech in which he took jabs at both Cuomo and President Donald Trump.

Credit to The New York Times editorial board for pausing its longtime campaign to destroy the country, if even just for a day. Apparently the mayoral victory of a communist in its hometown is cause for some concern.

At the top of an editorial late Tuesday, the Times congratulated Zohran Mamdani for his winning campaign. Then the paper dove into a panicked plea for the Ugandan native to please, oh please not be everything he promised to be.

“In almost every area that featured prominently in the mayoral campaign,” wrote the Times, “Mr. Mamdani can improve life in New York by marrying his admirable ambition to pragmatism and compromise.” The paper told him to “start by building a leadership team light on democratic socialists and heavy on officials with records of accomplishment and proven management skills.”

I’m sure the little revolutionary will get right on top of that.

When a major media outlet says “pragmatism” and “compromise,” it means 2010-era Democrat preferences such as race quotas and high taxes on middle-income earners to fund “green energy” projects. But those are the very garbage policies that turned a once-great city into a dump, along with the brilliant 2020 Democrat trend of “defunding the police.”

… Covering the Mamdani jihad will be a giving a play by play of the on the road to Armageddon.

Swastikas were spray-painted on the facade of Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn’s Gravesend neighborhood and nearby Jewish sites on November 5, 2025, hours after Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s first Muslim =ommunist mayor at age 34. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incidents as potential hate crimes.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8), upon whom you could write volumes regarding things he’s unaware of, seems keenly in tune, at least, with the fact that the election of a full-blown democratic socialist as mayor of New York City is a messaging gold mine for Republicans.

The GOP already knows this. President Trump is well aware.

But the Democrat leader in the House is already laying down hints that he sees trouble on the horizon himself. Hence, the display we saw on Wednesday evening, where Temu Obama, as he is known, couldn’t have weaseled his way out of a question about Zohran Mamdani being the future of the Democratic Party fast enough.

“You had record turnout in New York City for this election. Would you say that Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party?” a reporter asked as Jeffries and a host of party leaders held a press conference.

It’s pretty clear that Qatar’s government-regulated media thinks the Mamdani election is tied—positively—to the October 7 attack—something referred to as the Al-Aqsa Flood. This is the bloodthirsty, Jew-hating position Qatar is taking. You may think you’re safe from their Islamic holy war because you are not Jewish. But you’re wrong. They are coming for you.

MEMRI reports: Qatari journalist Abdullah Al-Amadi wrote on his X account: “What is happening in the U.S. is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the outcomes of the Al-Aqsa Flood. The American public has understood—after many long years of imposed slumber, in which Zionism played a role—that supporting injustice and oppression is a moral failure…. Ayman Azzam, a presenter on the Qatari Al-Jazeera network, shared a post by Somali social media activist Hiba Shukri that attributed Mamdani’s victory to October 7 and the boost it gave to the anti-Israel movement. Azzam commented: “The world is changing; The manifestations of the Flood have an impact” (MEMRI). Eitan Fischberger: Qatar has worked hard to pose as a close ally of President Trump. But in reality, the regime despises Trump, America, and the West. So it’s no surprise that Qatari officials and influencers couldn’t hide their glee over Mamdani’s win — and they’re making it about the Jews (Fischberger).

Tuesday marked the first major election night since November 2024, and to put it frankly, it was a bloodbath for Republicans. This was a 2018-level obliteration in races across the country. The only saving grace was that off-year elections only offer so much meat on the bone for the winning party.

I don’t say that to be alarmist, but I also don’t want Republicans to lull themselves to sleep. These results were a troubling indication of real angst within the electorate, and with the 2026 midterms now under a year away, the clock is ticking for Republicans to turn things around. And while I want to discuss some fundamental issues that I believe are spoiling the environment for the GOP right now, the first step is understanding what happened.

In the fall of 2010, the Heritage Foundation was invited to send a speaker to a charter school class in the District of Columbia to discuss abortion. I was nominated for the task and arrived that morning at the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for a back-and-forth with a representative from the D.C.-area Planned Parenthood.

The classroom had approximately 30 students, nearly all female and mostly freshmen and sophomores. It proved to be a good, low-key exchange, during which I learned the young women had been given a tour of a local Planned Parenthood facility. The classroom was not set up for audio visuals, and I had planned to dwell primarily on talking points about the value of life and setting behavioral standards necessary for personal success and happiness. But I did bring with me a set of visuals depicting the development of the child in the womb — straightforward prenatal biology and not violent images. The pictures were accurate and beautiful.

Last weekend 460 patients and their associates were massacred at Saudi Maternity Hospital in el-Fasher, Sudan.  This was acknowledged by the World Health Organization last Wednesday, when they reported that the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces, a Sudanese paramilitary force, in other words, terrorists, had committed the heinous act, as well as other slaughters in and around Darfur. One would think that this kind of horror would be widely reported on. When it comes to the nightly newscasts on CBS and ABC, one would be wrong.

Let’s start with the CBS Evening News. They did not mention the attack even once all week — that’s zero seconds — but they did have time for plenty of Halloween stories. On Friday evening, which was Halloween, the broadcast spent one minute on Halloween weather around the country. They ran a two minute package on “spooky” Halloween decorations, and the debate over whether or not they are too scary for children. And the best for last, a three minute segment on toilet paper being used by mischievous trick or treaters using toilet paper to ‘decorate’ homes and businesses in Heflin, Alabama, something the police are understandably not happy about. Bari Weiss, are you watching?

A Mexican mayor known for his outspoken stance against drug cartels and his push for tougher anti-trafficking laws was shot and killed during a Day of the Dead celebration over the weekend.

Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan in Michoacán State, was gunned down Saturday night during a public vigil, according to state officials.

Authorities said Manzo was struck seven times.

He later died from his injuries at a nearby hospital.

Before his death, Manzo had repeatedly warned that local officials were being targeted by cartels.

He had criticized Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for failing to take stronger action against organized crime.

In the span of less than 10 minutes after a huge crowd of protesters filled the U.S. Capitol West Plaza beneath the inauguration stage on Jan. 6, Capitol Police repeatedly used lethal force on the crowd, targeting people in the head, neck, face, and upper body — actions one use-of-force expert called “criminally negligent.”

During that brief span, at least 16 people were shot with kinetic-impact projectiles, including nine who took shots to the top of the head, face, and base of the neck, according to Capitol Police surveillance video obtained by Blaze News.

‘We need munitions! Unload! Unload it all! Take ’em out!’

The rounds are designed to be shot at or below the waist or skipped off pavement to strike the legs and cause trauma and “pain compliance.” None of the rounds observable on the surveillance footage struck below the belt, putting all of the observable rounds in dangerous and potentially lethal territory.

China will begin easing an export ban on automotive computer chips vital to production of cars across the world as part of a trade deal struck between the US and China, the White House has said.

The White House confirmed details of the deal in a new fact sheet after Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met in South Korea this week.

The nations also reached agreements on US soybean exports, the supply of rare earth minerals, and the materials used in production of the drug fentanyl.

The deal de-escalates a trade war between the world’s two largest economies after Trump hit China with tariffs after he entered office this year, leading to rounds of retaliatory tariffs and global business uncertainty.

The Scottish Parliament has passed a financial resolution to the Scottish assisted suicide Bill that would hand a “blank cheque” to implement assisted suicide, with funding likely to have to be diverted from other services to pay for this.

The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, at Stage 2 in Holyrood, would legalise assisted suicide for someone who is aged 16 or over, deemed mentally capable, ordinarily resident in Scotland, and terminally ill. There is no prognosis requirement specified.

Due to the likely large expenditure required by the implementation of assisted suicide, the Bill was required to be subject to a financial resolution before it could progress to the next Parliamentary stage.

A troubling new medical study has found that stillbirth rates in the United States are continuing to surge to alarmingly high levels and show no sign of improvement.

The peer-reviewed study examined more than 2.7 million pregnancies between 2016 and 2022.

Researchers found that roughly one in 150 pregnancies (6.8 per 1,000) ended in stillbirth.

The rate is significantly higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) previous estimate of one in 175 (5.7 per 1,000).

The findings underscore what public health experts are calling a persistent and preventable national tragedy that is being massively underreported by the corporate media.

The results of the study were published in the medical journal JAMA.

The state of Texas has secured an “historic” $1.375 billion settlement agreement with Google

The October 31 announcement from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office marked the conclusion of two of the largest data privacy enforcement actions ever brought by a single state against the tech giant. Paxton sued Google for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data regarding geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data in 2022.

“This historic $1.375 billion price tag for Google’s misconduct sends a clear warning to all of Big Tech that I will take aggressive action against any company that misuses Texans’ data and violates their privacy,” said Paxton in a press release. “If Big Tech thinks they can get away with abusing user data and illegally spying on Texans without consequences, I will make sure they are proven wrong. This monumental settlement is a testament to my office’s commitment to taking on the biggest companies in the world and securing victory on behalf of Texans.”

“The settlement obtained by Attorney General Paxton for these combined abuses far eclipses that of any other one state’s settlement against Google for similar claims, with the largest single-state settlement to date outside of Texas being $93 million,” declared the AG office.  “Additionally, a forty-state coalition secured $391 million in its privacy case against Google, which is almost one billion dollars less than what Attorney General Paxton secured for Texas alone.”

A 75-year-old pro-life activist, left with permanent vision and hearing loss after a vicious beating outside a Baltimore abortion clinic, is pleading with the Trump administration’s Justice Department to step in and deliver the justice a local court denied him.

Mark Crosby, a lifelong Catholic sidewalk counselor who has spent decades praying for unborn children and offering support to women facing crisis pregnancies, sent a desperate letter Thursday to the DOJ, accusing the Maryland judiciary of a “gross miscarriage of justice” in the sentencing of his attacker.

The appeal comes nearly two years after the May 26, 2023, assault that left Crosby and his 84-year-old friend Richard “Dick” Schaefer, battered and bloodied in broad daylight.

Acclaimed artist and sculptor Jackie Ferrara has been euthanized despite reportedly being in “good health.”

Ferrara is the latest celebrity to be killed by “assisted suicide,” continuing the disturbing trend of liberal media outlets glamorizing what should be treated as a tragedy, not a fashionable lifestyle choice.

Ferrara was killed via lethal injection on October 22 at age 95.

By all accounts, Ferrara was in “good health.”

She simply decided that she was “ready to go,” and didn’t want to “depend on anybody.”

“I don’t want a housekeeper,” she told The New York Times shortly before her death.

“I never wanted anybody.

“I was married three times.

“That’s enough,” she added.

A charity supporting victims of Muslim child rape grooming gangs has revealed that family members of predators have attempted to infiltrate their ranks to threaten women and girls seeking help.

While much of the focus of the grooming gang scandal has focused on the failures of local authorities and the gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men, which were given free rein to sexually exploit often young working-class white girls, a victims’ charity has claimed that there is a broader familial, tribal support network operating in the shadows behind the criminal operations.

Managing director of the Next Stage Youth Development charity, Paul O’Rourke told The Times of London that it is “really common” for family members of grooming gangs to worm their way into the charity to “threaten and intimidate” victims.

“Once the gang in Rochdale found out where those young people were, they tried to infiltrate — to get access to them, to interfere with them as witnesses, to threaten them,” he said. “They also tried to recruit them back into the grooming gang because they were still very vulnerable.”

New Arctic Frost whistleblower documents confirm a seditious conspiracy of unimaginable proportions. The newly uncovered Arctic Frost whistleblower files have blown Washington wide open. They suggest a breathtaking expansion of federal power—an operation so sweeping it blurred every line between oversight and intrusion.

At stake is not just transparency, but the integrity of the institutions Americans are told to trust.

A new advertisement from Denmark’s state broadcaster is drawing attention for its messaging about genetics and diversity, reigniting discussion about political themes in Western advertising.

The commercial, which promotes a science program titled “Evolution,” features an on-screen “expert” interrupting a white Danish couple as they flirt.

The expert explains that Denmark’s history of war introduced foreign DNA into the national gene pool, which he says “protected them from disease.”

He then compares their relationship to inbreeding because they are both white and suggests they seek partners with more “exotic” genetics.

The woman then smiles as if intrigued by the idea.

The series first aired in 2020 but is now being re-released with the same “inbreeding” advertisements in 2025.

Over the weekend, unidentified drones were detected hovering above Belgium’s Kleine Brogel air base, which his the location of a U.S. nuclear weapons storage facility, prompting investigations into a possible espionage operation.

Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken said Sunday that a jammer was unsuccessfully used during the overnight drone sightings over Belgium’s Kleine Brogel airbase, which is used by NATO forces.

“Last night, we received 3 reports of drones above Kleine Brogel, of a larger type and flying at higher altitude,” Francken wrote on X. “It was not a simple overflight, but a clear command targeting Kleine Brogel. A drone jammer was used, but without success.

“A helicopter and police vehicles pursued the drone, but lost it after several kilometers,” he added.

…Francken said on Saturday that he would meet police next week to assess the threat and take the necessary steps to find and arrest the drone pilots.

A spokesperson for Francken’s office told Reuters news agency police were investigating the incident. Government ministers will discuss the sightings this week.
