As the clock ticks down the last days before the 2025 elections, we’re hearing more calls for the GOP and conservatives in general to intervene in the NYC election to prevent Zohran Mamdani from being elected mayor.
What we don’t hear is an answer to the question of why? Why, exactly, should the GOP and the MAGA movement waste time, effort, and political capital to prevent the Democrats from throwing themselves off the cliff? Why write another chapter in the never-ending saga of Republicans pulling Dem chestnuts out of the fire and the getting kicked in the face immediately afterward?
The plan here, evidently, is to switch GOP support to Andrew Cuomo (at least they’ve abandoned publicity hog and media hustler Curtis Sliwa) in order to save the city from the evil sheik Mamdani. Think about that: Andrew Cuomo, brother of Fredo, who spent his three terms as governor plumbing new depths of incompetence. Who never let an opportunity to slander the GOP slide. Who during COVID pioneered the practice, then taken up by governors across the northeast, of dumping COVID sufferers in old folk’s homes, resulting hundreds if not thousands of deaths.
The Dems, so we’re told, having come to their senses, will realize what the Republicans have spared them from and will be grateful. New York voters, with their customary insight and depth of perception, will reward the GOP with showers of votes. In other words, we’ll witness something that has never happened and never will.
What will happen instead is this: voters will see the GOP tossing away the principles and practices of MAGA just as they were beginning to bear fruit. They will see conservatives supporting one virulent social democrat over another for no rational reason. They will see the Uniparty in action.

We should flush twice.
And prayers continue for a repeat of the election upheaval that we experienced in 2024.
Lord, PLEASE clean house of the corrupt and immoral.
Honestly, I am at the “give them what they want, good and hard” phase.
Let the people of NYC get what they want, good and hard.
When decent people have moved away and NY collapses into leftist chaos, just isolate it with a wall and let the leftist cancer exterminate itself.
Then pave it over.
Sorry to say this, but nothing is going to happen in NYC. He’ll F it up just like they’ve been dying for decades, crime will increase, prices will increase, drugs etc.
Same old same old. His other stupid socialist ideas, the people there don’t care.
They are divorced from any understanding of policies affecting how they live.
That’s why the speeches are all about class, race, religions, Trump, billionaires. And free stuff.
They’ve ruined the cities forever and the base is uneducated and angry and the educated are kooks.
Wasn’t there a movie about that?
Maybe - just maybe it’ll suck so bad that enough money - and eventually people - leave the state so that upstate votes start to matter.
Here’s hoping.
Ya and the last generation than could create a Snake Pliskin (Gen X) is getting a bit old for this crap now.
Same here. We need New York as a petri dish so the rest of the country can see what happens when Mamdami's ideas are put into practice.
Mencken is underrated -- more like unknown -- to far too many people. He's the closest thing the 20th century had to Mark Twain.
LOL one of the few times I find myself in agreement with you.
Well said.
I’m as frustrated as anyone by the “lesser of two evils” choices we have been given so many times. This is different. Those evil bastards plan this as the first step in a communist revolution.they need to be stopped. That may be impossible in this race, but we have to try. A lot more than NYC is at stake
BTW, Sliwa was in Rob Finnerty last night, and sounded like a raging maniac. It was also the first time this issue of him being essentially a cat lady was fleshed out for me. He’s a nut
I don’t see why he won’t face legal scrutiny with his naturalization application. It would appear that there are grounds to investigate his ties to terrorist groups and he did not acknowledge any of this on his application which is a material omission. Hopefully he’s being investigated and DOS will find that his material omissions constitute a threat to US security. He’s going to have control over NYPD and access to sensitive information. There’s more at stake than throwing out a Palestinian protester on a visa. It’s even more incumbent for the Feds to act in national security interests here.
As long as this guy is having to defend himself in court, he will be much less of a threat.
The movie “Escape From New York” may have foretold what is going to happen to NYC in a few years.
I can see a collapse of the Democrat Party in a generation, but not for many years.
Too much money from too many people propping up that party.
Prefer Will Rodgers.
Cleopatra governed Egypt and was a cat lover.
Sliwa can handle NYC
Biden was brain dead and ‘ran’ the country
The city council and state legislature write the laws and pass the budgets.
He’ll probably be the best administrator of the three I know of running for mayor. That’s probably why he’ll be elected.
Amen!
