Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist” and the first Muslim mayor-elect of New York City, delivered a fiery, Marxist-tinged victory speech that sounded less like an American mayor and more like a disciple of Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Eugene Debs rolled into one. Mamdani not only quoted socialist Eugene Debs but also invoked Jawaharlal Nehru, the Marxist “founding father” of socialist India, who “crushed Hindus and empowered Jihadis.” WATCH: VIDEO...

You’re also probably over 45 [if you’d make that association].)Of course, none of this means the German kinder are “Christian,” except in name...

The southeast Oregon city is also Exhibit A of what Christopher Rufo calls the homelessness industrial complex. Grants Pass won. In 2024, the Supreme Court struck down lower court decisions and held that laws regulating camping on public land do not violate the Eighth Amendment’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling was a win for local control. The win was short-lived. Homeless “advocates” in late January filed a lawsuit claiming the southwest Oregon city...
