New York Socialist Democrat

Blurb:

Communists have always, invariably, hated the middle class. That’s why their policies destroy the middle class; they need the impoverished masses, over whom they can rule, and the wealthy class (of which they’re a part). Everyone else is an obstacle to their communist agenda.

Most of the time, communists will present themselves as socialists, which is a less-charged but equally fetid ideology, and they’ll pay lip service to the middle class, saying their policies will make things “better” for middle-class families. That’s a lie.

Voters are warming up to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and some of his left-wing policy priorities, according to a Siena University poll released Tuesday.

Mamdani, a self avowed socialist, achieved a 46% favorability rating across New York state, marking an increase from his 40% favorable rating last month, according to the new poll. Meanwhile, by a 49-32% margin, up from 45-39% in November, voters statewide think that Mamdani‘s Nov. 4 mayoral victory will be good for New York City, per the poll. 

Among New York City voters alone, 66% said Mamdani’s election will be good for the city, while 25% said it is bad for the city, according to the poll. This marks an increase from in November, when 57% said his being elected was a good thing for the city and 26% said it was a bad thing, the poll shows.

“Enjoy the honeymoon, Mayor-elect Mamdani,” Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said in a statement. “Two-thirds of Democrats across the state view him favorably. Independent voters are now leaning favorably by six points, while they were six points on the unfavorable side in November. And while he’s viewed favorably in New York City, 61-23%, voters outside the City, who were decidedly negative toward him last month, are now close to breakeven.”

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has tasked a controversial rapper who spent seven years in prison for armed robbery to serve as an adviser for his criminal justice team, according to a report from the New York Post.

Mysonne Linen, 49, will sit on the incoming mayor’s transitional “criminal legal system” committee, The Post reported. A Bronx native, Linen was found guilty of armed robbery in connection with two heists in the late 1990s.

“This is a testament to our decades of work advocating on behalf of black and brown communities and our expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy and criminal justice reform,” Linen wrote in an Instagram post last month after the position was announced. “We are building something different.”

Linen was an up-and-coming rapper when he was convicted for being part of a crew that robbed two cab drivers in The Bronx, according to a New York Daily News article from the time. His conviction came just before the release of his first studio album with Def Jam Records.

New York’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D-Communist, Jew-hating Islamist) just admitted he has no idea where to get the $700 million necessary to fund his “free bus” scheme.

Actually, what you have here is a twofer. Not only does Mamdani have no plan, but here’s another example of the useless media asking these kinds of questions only after their guy ( a communist, Jew-hating Islamist) is safely in office.

The reporter points out that Mamdani does not want to take any money away from New York’s MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority). Mamdani agrees. Then comes the question a real media would’ve been asking relentlessly and for months during the campaign: “How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the governor is not for raising taxes?”

Mamdani answers with “raising the corporate tax.”

Islamist Socialist Zohran Mamdani has chosen a police abolitionist author to be on his transition team. Alex Vitale, who wrote the book “The End of Policing,” will be working on “community safety issues.”  This follows his meeting with President Trump in the oval office where they exchanged mostly substance-less jabs with one another.

After a Jewish synagogue was harassed by a group shouting “Death to the IDF,” Mamdani blamed the victims for holding an event that offended the anti-Israel activists. His recent reiteration that he would honor “international law” over U.S. law leaves some to question whether he will try to arrest Jews wanted by the antisemitic “World Court.”

Mamdani taps radical socialist author of ‘The End of Policing’ to transition team – The Post Millennial
A tagline on the listing for his book states that it’s the “best-selling bible of the movement to defund the police.”

Socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has just brought on an advisor whose work includes the writing of the book, “The End of Policing.” The staffer will be on Mamdani’s transition team and working on “community safety issues.”

Alex Vitale, whose X bio states the words “putting abolition into practice” and touts his book “The End of Policing” in his bio, wrote on X, “I’m excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.”

Incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on an international arrest warrant that is not recognized in U.S. law, setting up a potential act of rebellion against federal authority.

The mayor-elect, a self-styled socialist, has repeatedly pledged that if elected mayor, he would direct the New York Police Department (NYPD) to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit the city. Mamdani has claimed that he has an obligation to do so in order to adhere to “international law,” particularly by honoring an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against Netanyahu stemming from the conflict in Gaza.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and his campaign despite criticizing Mamdani’s vision for the Big Apple.

Mamdani has appointed hundreds of people to transition committees as he prepares to take the mayor’s office next year, with some of them advising him on how to enact the affordability agenda he campaigned on. The mayor-elect met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, to which Bessent said there is “some admiration” for someone running a campaign like Mamdani’s.

“It was a great, great campaign. He is clearly the leader of the Democratic Party now, and I think it speaks to how open-minded the president is that he invited him into the Oval Office. Senator Schumer never endorsed him, I don’t even know if he’s met with him, and President Trump wants the best for New Yorkers,” Bessent said on CNBC’s SquawkBox.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has reiterated that he intends to preserve and defend the Big Apple’s long-standing “sanctuary” policies, even after meeting with President Donald Trump last week at the White House.

Speaking to congregants at a church in the Bronx, Mamdani said he was upfront with the president about their differences on immigration enforcement.

“I shared with the president directly that New Yorkers want to follow the laws of our city,” Mamdani said.

He noted that the city’s “sanctuary” framework permits coordination with federal authorities only in about 170 serious criminal cases.

Blurb:

Zohran Mamdani was grilled over his past rhetoric during a tense Oval Office showdown where President Donald Trump and the New York City mayor-elect sparred over past insults while trying to play nice for the cameras.

In a brief but charged media event on Friday, the two leaders met to discuss critical city issues like housing and public safety.

However, it was soon derailed by questions about Mamdani’s earlier harsh words labeling Trump as a “fascist” and his policies as “authoritarian,” Fox News reported.

The exchange kicked off when Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich pressed Mamdani on whether he still views Trump as a “fascist.”

It’s a term he’s used before to describe the president’s agenda.

Zohran Mamdani’s successful NY Mayoral campaign means the most powerful city in America will be led by an open Marxist-Islamist who belongs to the Socialist family of dark arts. Ahead of his taking power, congress has voted to condemn socialism by a vote of 285-98. Only 86 Democrats backed the measure. The others complained that the condemnation “selectively lists certain despotic leaders and the harms of totalitarian regimes self-labeled as ‘socialist’.”

Blurb:

The House voted 285-98 on Friday to denounce the “horrors of socialism,” a sharp rebuke delivered just hours before President Donald Trump sits down with New York’s incoming democratic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Eighty-six Democrats crossed the aisle to back the resolution, while two voted present. Republicans were unified in support.

Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders have blasted Mamdani’s victory in the nation’s largest city, casting him as the latest radical avatar of the Democratic Party. They’ve already signaled they plan to use him as a political battering ram heading into the 2026 midterms.

“Sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law.”

Socialist New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash after his team criticized an event at a synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side after it was targeted by anti-Israel activists who shouted slogans including “Death to the IDF” and “Globalize the intifada.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation protesters outside Park East Synagogue, which was hosting an event by Nefesh B’Nefesh, an organization that assists North American Jews moving to Israel, drew swift condemnation from Jewish leaders and elected officials, who described the group’s rhetoric as antisemitic and threatening.

Blurb:

A vote to condemn the “horrors of socialism” passed on a mostly party-line vote Friday, with 98 Democrats voting against it and 199 Republicans voting for it.

The bill passed 285-to-98. No Republicans voted against the bill, although 20 Republicans did not vote.

On the Democrat side, it was far from unanimous, with 86 members voting in favor, and 98 against. Two Democrats voted “present” and 27 did not vote.

The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., reads, “socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide,” and recognizes “many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues.”

President Donald Trump has offered a preview of his highly anticipated meeting with New York City’s newly elected socialist mayor.

Trump’s meeting with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) in the Oval Office Friday afternoon is proving to be one of the most highly anticipated sit-downs of his second term. Trump described Mamdani, a staunch progressive and outspoken critic of the president, as “a little bit different” but remained optimistic about the meeting.

‘I give him a lot of credit.’

“He’s got a different philosophy,” Trump told Brian Kilmeade Friday. “He’s a little bit different.”

One of the focal points of Mamdani’s campaign was affordability, an issue that has also been a pillar of Trump’s administration. Although their respective solutions to address affordability are at odds, Trump maintained that the two New Yorkers are ultimately “looking for the same thing.”

The Zohran is meeting with President Donald Trump today. It’s not until 3:00 this afternoon, and I’ll be well into the bourbon by then, but I’m sure the content that comes from the meeting will be delightful if you ignore the fact that the incoming mayor of the most important city on the planet is a commie theater kid. My gut says he gets Zelenskyy’d as he attempts to lecture Trump on international law and how there will be no more deportations under The Zohran’s eye.

I hope they discuss economics, because The Zohran gave a clue on how he is going to get money for his free buses in New York City. All it will take is for them to raise taxes on everyone else in New York STATE so that he gets the cash.

REPORTER: How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the Governor is not for raising taxes?

THE ZOHRAN: Through the raising of the state’s corporate tax.”

REPORTER: But she said no…

THE ZOHRAN: The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it.

In an astonishing victory, 34-year-old state legislator Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral election. Defeating former state Governor Andrew Cuomo, who enjoyed strong backing from US President Donald Trump and the political establishment, Mamdani became the city’s first Muslim immigrant mayor and its youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist’s victory sent shock waves through national politics, emboldening progressives across the country to run and to win on agendas as unapologetically ambitious as the moment demands.

Campaigning across the city, Mamdani reached out to various social groups, including African Americans, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, East Africans and South Asians, and especially the youth, many of whom had grown politically disengaged after the Democratic Party’s demoralising performance in recent years. He brought people back into the political process, mobilising voters who otherwise might have stayed home.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Police officers will not risk their lives by working for a mayor who will delegitimize them, who will defund them, and who will side with the criminals against them. Governor DeSantis is already making NYPD Cops amazing offers to transfer to Florida. Where police officers are treated with reverence.

Voters with a bachelor’s degree or higher largely supported Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race. As political analyst Byron York noted on X.com, “the non-degreed tried valiantly to save the city from the degree-holding horde. There just weren’t enough of them.” The election results suggest that our higher education system is broken and must undergo significant changes to prevent socialism from taking over America.

In 2023, Jacobin, a prominent socialist publication, recognized a significant shift in academia, noting that many universities have openly adopted Marxist ideology and associated radical concepts, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT). For countless students, the college experience has shifted from learning critical thinking and employable skills to ideological indoctrination, with Marxism, CRT, anti-capitalism, and anti-American sentiment permeating classrooms.

“I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul pushed back Saturday against socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s plan to make Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) bus rides free.

“I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways. But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course, we can,” Hochul said during a press conference.

Zohran Mamdani is already revealing his true agenda of dividing “New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors,” The Washington Post editorial board declared in a Saturday editorial.

The newly-elected New York City mayor’s victory speech on Tuesday made it clear that his “view of politics isn’t about unity” or “[increasing] wealth” but rather about handing wealth “out to favored groups,” the editorial board said.

The article describes Mamdani’s new “favorite word” as being “‘mandate’” because he will need “approval from the state to raise taxes” in order to achieve his agenda of “rent freezes,” “‘free’ child care and buses,” et cetera.

The political views of New York City’s incoming first lady are drawing renewed attention after a series of controversial social media posts resurfaced during the mayoral campaign.

Rama Duwaji, the wife of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, is an illustrator whose work has prominently featured pro-Hamas messaging.

Her art includes graphics accusing Israel of committing “war crimes” and denouncing U.S. support for the Jewish state.

Several posts were created or shared in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre, when terrorists killed 1,200 Israeli civilians.

One graphic created by Duwaji depicted a stack of U.S. bills labeled “Israeli war crimes.”

A leaked document from a November 2 meeting of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America reveals a series of extreme anti-Israel demands the group is preparing to press Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to adopt. Having helped propel him to victory, the DSA now appears eager to collect on its investment.

Although Mamdani is a long-time member of the DSA who clearly aligns with its anti-Israeli agenda, members are clearly worried he might yield to political pressure once he takes office.

Just the News’ Jerry Dunleavy obtained an internal Anti-War Working Group document that details what the DSA plans to demand of Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor-elect of New York City. During his campaign, he “vowed to ‘protect New Yorkers from’ pro-life pregnancy centers which he accused of spreading ‘false or deceptive information.’” His threat refers directly to CompassCare. CompassCare runs the only three pro-life medical pregnancy centers in all of New York City. His threat mimics the lawsuit brought by pro-abortion activist Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, who endorsed Mamdani’s mayoral bid.

Many people are asking how the newly elected, self-avowed, Islamic communist will impact the already battered Christian pro-life medical pregnancy centers like CompassCare. The Christian pro-life pregnancy network is already managing lawsuits with New York State Legislation, lawsuits with New York City ordinances, lawsuits from New York Attorney General Letitia James, Big Tech censorship, and security concerns of a resurgence of pro-abortion violence, emboldened by the revolutionary rhetoric from Marxist politicians in Democrat clothes.

Now that the revolting Communist Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, we can expect New Yorkers to flee the once Big Apple for South Florida en masse. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez in particular is eager to lure more of New York City’s financial firms to Miami. Suarez is rightly highlighting Miami’s business friendly environment, beautiful weather, safety, and fabulous quality of life to drive financial firms out of New York City and into Miami. Watch here.

The Democratic Socialists of America helped deliver their fellow comrade, Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayorship on Tuesday. Now they have presented their demands and they all concern the Jews.

The document reads like an order from the Third Reich.

And over one-third of New York Jews voted for Mamdani, significantly lower than the usual  New York Jewish vote for Democrats.

Just the News obtained internal plans from the Democratic Socialists of America detailing how the NYC-DSA branch that Zohran Mamdani belongs to intends to pressure him to inject antisemitic policies into the management — and life — of the Big Apple.

The document from the group, obtained by Just the News, is titled “AWWG Palestine Policy Meeting Meeting Agenda & Notes” — and it contains the internal plans of the DSA working group. The document was obtained when a Just the News reporter used his real name to RSVP to an AWWG meeting that was listed as open to the public.

This reporter was sent a Zoom link to join, and a Google document containing the AWWG strategy document, reproduced below, was publicly shared in the Zoom chat. The link to the document has since been disabled.

It cannot be overstated: Zohran Mamdani’s Tuesday night victory in New York City’s mayoral race marked a watershed moment for both Muslim and socialist activists — not only across the five boroughs, but throughout the nation. The displays of hubris began almost immediately after Mamdani was declared the winner — and have shown no sign of slowing since.

One of the most revealing — and frightening — reactions came from an unidentified Muslim man who interpreted Mamdani’s triumph as nothing less than divine approval for Islam’s ultimate conquest of America.

In the video below, he told supporters:

We’re done hiding. We’re done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam [sic], and we will not stop until it enters every home.

I wanna hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the ummah depends on this, my brothers and sisters.

There is no God worthy of worship except Allah — and final prophet, Mohammed.

New York City voters have elected self-described Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor, and his victory speech immediately signaled a sharp leftward turn for the nation’s largest city.

Moments after being declared the winner Tuesday night, the 34-year-old lawmaker opened his remarks by invoking Eugene Debs, one of America’s most infamous radicals.

Debs was convicted of sedition in 1918 for urging resistance to the U.S. draft during World War I.

“I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity,” Mamdani said, quoting Debs.

During post-election coverage on Tuesday night, CNN contributors Van Jones and Scott Jennings didn’t seem particularly happy with mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s (D) angry victory speech. They found it a significant tone-shift from his campaign and believed it would only further divide New Yorkers and the “large tent” Democratic Party.

Left-wing Van Jones’s main takeaway from the speech was a lack of recognition: “I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech.

He also thought some New Yorkers would have a hard time deciding if they fit in with Mamdani’s vision and admitted, “… he missed a chance tonight to open up and bring more people into the tent.

Will & Grace star Debra Messing shared a viral meme on Election Day Tuesday, to her 1.4 million Instagram followers, calling newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani an “actual Communist Jihadist.”

The meme gained viral steam on social media after being promoted by The Persian Jewess Instagram account showed a fake voter ballot listing two candidates as “A Democrat. Just a Democrat” and the other as “An actual communist jihadist. A literal Karl Marx-quoting, America-hating jihadist.”

Messing, who has been a loud supporter of Israel and who has shown her support for Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign, shared the meme with her followers on Tuesday. The left-wing actress received a fair bit of backlash online for sharing the post.

Messing, who backed Joe Biden in 2020, spent the weeks leading up to the election speaking out against Mamdani, endorsing Cuomo as a candidate with “decades of experience” to lead a New York City she says “doesn’t feel safe right now.”

“I understand the passion behind Mamdani. He’s young and enthusiastic but he has never had a job, he’s 33 years old, and New York City is the financial center of our country,” Messing said. “And I don’t think he has the experience for the job.”

New York City elected a communist to be its next mayor on Tuesday. Uganda-born Zohran Mamdani is projected to win more than 50 percent of the Big Apple. Over the next few days, professional Republicans will shake their heads and lament the outcome of the race. But few, if any, will acknowledge the truth: Mamdani’s victory is the direct result of mass immigration.

New York City wasn’t lost to a communist because the radical left out-organized the Democrat establishment. New York City was lost to a communist because we lost control of our borders — not just our southern border, but every single border separating the United States from the rest of the world. Mass migration, whether legal or illegal, is national suicide.
