Barack Obama met with Zohran Mamdani for the first time on Saturday at a childcare center where the former Democratic US president and mayor of New York City read to preschoolers and led a sing-along.

The meeting comes as Mamdani, a democratic socialist who marked his 100th day in office just over a week earlier, is also trying to build a working relationship with Donald Trump – Obama’s Republican presidential successor.

Obama and Mamdani did not take questions after reading the book Alone and Together to the children – and leading a sing-along of The Wheels on the Bus.

Obama, a standard-bearer for the Democratic party, has offered to be a sounding board for Mamdani, 34. Mamdani’s star power, youth and progressive agenda has made him stand out in Democratic politics.

Ghosts of Former Soviet Union Leaders Grin As Mamdani’s $30M NYC Communist Grocery Store Unveiled – RedState– redstate.com

EXCERPT:

We told you that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would be bad, and the democrat socialist has proven to be as terrible or perhaps even worse than we warned.

He’s continued his antisemitic rhetoric and demeaning of police, wants to tax the wealthy out of existence (or at least, out of the state), and is striving to make DEI great again — just what nobody needs.

On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Trump could probably build a dozen of these for $30 million. Why so much? Union wages play a part, but that doesn’t explain it all, considering Mamdani had earlier promised five stores for a mere $70 million:

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.

The ghosts of the old Soviet Union leaders are beaming with pride when they watch this video:

Intrepid reporter Laura Loomer has uncovered video and documents that disqualifies Abdul Sayel from office and triggers serious legal scrutiny.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed signed a past pledge supporting Mohamed Morsi, the former Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president.

The clip from Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s exchange with Republican Sen. Patrick Colbeck has reemerged as he campaigns for U.S. Senate, drawing fresh scrutiny over his response to claims of Sharia support and Muslim Brotherhood ties. He signed a statement backing Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi. And rallies on campus with figures like anti-America, anti-Jew inciter Hasan Piker.

Abdul El Sayed, the jihadi candidate, continues to run for office, lose and run and run again. Who is funding this election jihad? Who in the Democrat party continues to puts forth these enemies of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Michigan Synagogue Attacker Acted Under the ‘Direction and Control’ of Hezbollah, Says DOJ – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

The 41-year-old Lebanese national who targeted the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Mich., on March 12 “acted under Hezbollah’s direction and control,” according to the Department of Justice.

Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove his car into Michigan’s largest synagogue and opened fire on March 12. A security guard was injured by Ghazali’s car inside the synagogue, but otherwise, no one was hurt.

“This man acted under Hezbollah’s direction and control,” said Jerome Gorgon, Jr., the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. “I’ve seen some odd attempts to explain away or even lessen this terrorist attack by claiming that he was an isolated lone wolf, but that is misleading,” said Gorgon.

Tucker Carlson Attacks Trump for Mocking Islam: ‘That’s Totally Unacceptable’– www.westernjournal.com

Former Fox News host and populist podcaster Tucker Carlson criticized President Donald Trump for mocking Islam in an Easter Sunday post in which he threatened Iran’s infrastructure if there was no substantive move toward negotiations from Tehran.

Carlson said that the message was only acceptable “if you seek a religious war,” but that otherwise, “no decent person mocks other people’s religions” and the move would escalate tensions as opposed to defusing them.

Carlson’s Monday remarks came as Trump was continuing to get blowback for his Truth Social post.

REUTERS—The FBI said on Monday that an attack on the largest Jewish temple in Michigan earlier this month was an “act of terrorism” inspired by Hezbollah.

‘F***ing Ridiculous’: Mayor Zohran Mamdani Breaks “Fast” with Muslim Inmates at Rikers Island– gellerreport.com

You have to be an absolute monster to be sent to Rikers Island. Mamdani’s constituency. But he won’t meet with the families of the people these violent criminals have killed or the the women they’ve raped or the NYPD injured in the line of duty. Just the criminals.

This is another fitting example of why many are fleeing New York City. The dynamic is nicely captured in the opening of a piece at Tablet magazine: “My breaking point wasn’t getting mugged,” Josh Greenberg, a digital media strategist who left Park Slope, New York, in early 2022, told me. “It was realizing the city had more sympathy for the guy that mugged me than they did for me.”

Editors note: The reason why I place “fast” in quotes is because you can eat like a horse in the morning and you can eat like a horse in the evening. I do not consider that a “fast.”

New Jersey’s Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill is following in the footsteps of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Both are catering to radical Islamists with troubling terrorist ties. Sherrill visited a local mosque on Friday, complete with a headscarf.

There, Sherrill met with Imam Mohammad Qatanani, calling the mosque a “community with the five pillars of Islam that is constantly looking to do good works.”
