So now it's a Muslim Marxist to lead New York: A requiem

Sure as the sun rises, Mamdani will turn New York into a third world dump.

At the very least, New York City has collapsed.

If Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should someday soon be kicked out of Persia, it is possible he could come to New York, where he would likely be elected mayor.

The sequence of NYC mayors is astounding.

From Guliani to Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams.

And perhaps soon to Zohran Mamdani, an avowed Marxist who has previously indicated his desire to “globalize the intifada.” (Mamdani defeated three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June 24th mayoral primary.)

How to make a sh*thole city in four easy steps!

The Chief of Police for the NYPD has already stated that, should Mamdani be elected, his pro-crime anti-cop policies would cause mass exodus from the city’s police force. The resultant effect would be catastrophic.

The Big Apple, not so long ago, was one of the safest big cities in the world. Now it is rotten to its core. “My kind of town,” “The city that never sleeps,” etc., is now no place for “infidels.” And a city that ever weeps. A sanctuary city for criminals. An asylum for the insane and outlandish.

When I set out writing this article, I did not intend to reference a musical piece. However, after reading that, should Mamdani win the general election, New York might well surrender its status as the financial hub of the U.S. to Miami, I had to include a few lines from the Billy Joel song, “Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)”

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway

I saw the ruins at my feet

You can see it coming in so many ways. The Empire City is no more. And, from a future perspective:

Sure as the sun rises, Mamdani will turn New York into even more of a third world dump.

FTFY.
Even Giuliani didn't stop the process though he did slow it down a little.
A speedbump on the road to Hell.

Full disclosure -- I left in 1983.

I don’t see any hero waiting in the wings to save NYC from this blatant commie muzzlime merchant of hate and persecution. The City Council, with few exceptions, would agree wholeheartedly with his outrageous proposed policies. The rodent rats will be the least of NYC’s problems, as it is overrun with dangerous illegals, dangerous immigrants, incredibly stupid politicians and radical demonstrators.

NYC would be so blessed as to have another Rudy.

Not that the masses, there, even understand this.

Where is such a man of courage and honesty going to come from, from a cesspool of DEI and gimme-gimme-gimmes?
