I was out of the Air Force when Clinton was installed. He was a disaster for the military and healthcare. One of friends was a Navy Commander. He was torn up having to rif some fine officers and enlisted.

As bad as Bill de Blasio (2014 - 2021) and Eric Adams (2022 - 2025) were, Zorhan Mamdani will be orders of magnitude worse.

Mamdani merges two philosophies, Socialism and Islam, that are antithetical to the United States constitution.

His administration will be staffed by committed true believers Hell bent on implementing his agenda with no concern for the consequences.

It will be a freak show.

Spoke to a friend who is a retired big city cop in the North. He still does contracted training for small police departments. He said this is a problem in all of the Sanctuary Cities because those cities also have liberal AGs. Cops do not want to risk their lives especially in situations where the City could throw them under the bus. They are quietly leaving for suburban or smaller police departments. As those fill their ranks, big city cops are looking at Texas and Florida. He said NC was also becoming a destination of interest. He asked me about Western NC. Told him stay out of Charlotte and Wake County, Western NC and Crystal Coast is best. One thing he did say that was interesting. Large Departments across the country are facing the same issues as the military did under Biden. They are having trouble getting young people to become cops. The pay is not worth the risk and you are automatically the bad person. With marijuana legal it is hard to find recruits that are not heavy users. There seems to be a correlation between that and lack of physical fitness. NYC already has a problem their Islamist Socialist Mayor is not going to are it better.

Police jobs available. Bring your own Scimitar till we find a New York based supplier.

Good post—covered many important issues.

NYC is surrounded by many suburbs that will be happy to hire police that bail from Mamdummy.

I knew I wasn’t the only one who experienced that!

“As a result of this policy, the military budget was reduced during Clinton’s tenure. The total number of active-duty personnel decreased substantially, and some military bases were closed. While the budget was lowered, Clinton also invested in military modernization, aiming for a smaller, more agile, and technologically advanced fighting force. There were several operations during the Clinton Administration which put stress on the smaller military. Those include deployments to Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, Somalia, and Persian Gulf.”

No ‘wars’ per se but LOTS of ‘deployments’ and ‘military engagements.’ *Rolleyes*

Zohran will serve mostly as a figurehead or hood ornament, meant to calm the masses. while their local communities are steadily dismantled and replaced with structures more Sharia compliant.

He will be thoroughly advised by other Muslims who are professionally experienced in their fields.

As in the Biden years. I expect there to be several city wide policies that are put together and put in motion with Zohran never having seen. read or discussed them before.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Good point. And I’m willing to bet that’s part of the goal.

[stanne]

“Zohran is in waaaaaay over his head and the only job he ever had was working for his Mom , city counsel is not a job ,LOL”

He’s got backing and he’s got an agenda. Nothing to do with the job description of mayor of NYC

He’s also got mandate from the voting New Yorkers

Nothing with authority over him will enforce those rules.

[Lopeover]

No worries, Mamdani will install Sharia police! 🤣

They can head to Florida where DeSantis has offered NYPD transplants a $5k signing bonus:

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis offered a $5,000 signing bonus to out-of-state law enforcement officers, including NYPD officers, who relocate to Florida."

[Ge0ffrey]

Who will arrest ICE officers? Certainly not members of the NYC police department.

[whitney69]

“...The NYPD saw a 35% hike in cops of all ranks leaving...”

What did they expect? I’m waiting for when he sells the cops’ body armor to cover the losses at the grocery stores.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Just wait till they get their new muzzie Chief of Police.

[LouAvul]

Next up! A flood of DEI hires with badges and guns in NYC! Stay tuned for further details!

[Salman]

I’m sure there will be some replacements...of the wrong kind.

This is the real story.

NYPD officers getting fed up and moving to another force (or retiring early) was already a phenomenon for a while.

The big deal this time is that MYPD absolutely will not be understaffed, despite all the talk of defunding.
And you already know who will be on the job.

[Bonemaker]

Sharia compliance police.

[anton]

And, it will be hard to get rid of the new NYPD DEI hirelings when Momadami goes back to shitville due to union and civil service rules that have been around for almost a century.

[Bonemaker]

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Yep. The damage he will be inflicting upon NYC will be very hard to undo.

All by design, Comrade. All. By. Design. :(
