What I want to know is why the Republican plans in New Jersey failed—the details—not broad philosophical claims.

We cannot improve if we do not understand our mistakes.

If the NYCers move, they’ll bring their Democrat voting habits to The Sunshine State.

Many move to upstate NY, turning Red counties Blue. Saratoga County used to be deep Red, last year it went for Kamala, last night they almost turned the county Blue. It's that bad. Add to that a dysfunctional GOP committee infrastructure it soo it will be all over, Elise won't have a chance to win the statehouse.

Can only offer you a collection of cliches.

It’s hard to campaign against Santa Claus.
Offering to rob Peter to pay Paul guarantees Paul’s vote.
Always bet on people’s greed, resentment, envy and self interest.
There’s another sucker born every day.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

NYC is a walking, talking and voting cliche.

“I just hope NY’ers don’t bring their politics to Florida.”

They brought their politics and gun control to Colorado. They love them some Mikey Bloomberg.

Every day NYC should be reminded they were sold a lie. ZM cannot deliver on his agenda. He does not have taxing authority for one thing.
I hold no hope for economic reform in NYC. Deblasio squandered $850M for mental health and could not account for the $713M for education. Nothing was done to him. $120B in the NYC budget could create such chaos.

The destruction of New York City is all a part of their plan.

Giuliani to this in 25 years. Wow.

One thing that has seemed to play out over the long history of civilization is those that rise up to great success, plateau, drop back and ever regain their past. Hard to believe but NYC was once a great success, look at it now and worse where it is headed.

At one time Detroit was considered to be the richest city in the world, now look at it.

And using that phoney Hillary schmalz.
All of New York city’s mayors were immigrants.
“New York will always remain a city for immigrants, built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.”
But none were moslim communists. Why didn’t he point that out instead?

Realtors’ phones ringing off the hook as panicked New Yorkers
ditch coveted area codes to flee Mamdani housing chaos
The Daily Mail ^ | 05 Nov 2025 | MARIANNE GARVEY
Posted on 11/5/2025, 12:40:18 PM by MinorityRepublican

Real estate agents are being bombarded with calls this morning from panicked New Yorkers desperate to flee after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory last night. Two key destinations are already emerging: New York’s affluent suburbs and Republican strongholds across the Sunbelt. Agents from Westchester and Greenwich to Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas say they’re seeing a surge in calls from city residents desperate to relocate - some within commuting distance, while others looking to get as far away as they can.

‘We are seeing interest from New York City intensify because of the election,’ Dina Goldentayer, a Douglas Elliman agent in Florida, told the Daily Mail.’The city’s area codes 917 and 212 are popping up now almost as much as they did at the height of the Covid pandemic.’ ‘Most of the calls are from buyers, many Wall Street execs, looking in the $20 million to $30 million range. Specifically for waterfront houses or oceanfront condos.’ Goldentayer — who said she’s being asked to look mainly in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Golden Beach, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables — noted that 212 remains the original Manhattan area code, long considered a status symbol among established New Yorkers...............(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...

NUREMBERG | Official Trailer #1 (2025)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvAy9C-bipY

Comments below the video:

“Kind of an interesting time for this to be coming out.....”

“Get ready for the sequel.”

“And history is repeating itself because hatred and greed exist in the world.”

“My late father Stanley Kramer made the film classic JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG. This new film NUREMBERG is different and just as compelling. Impact for a new generation.”
