A little more than two months ago, when Zohran Mamdani was still in his first days as New York City’s boy mayor, we suggested that he should be driven from office. It was that bad. Has the situation improved since then? No, it’s only become worse.
Let’s start off with the mayor hosting a Ramadan iftar dinner on March 11 at City Hall, where he was joined by Muslim city workers.
Well, isn’t that the prerogative of the mayor? After all, Christian elected officials have used government buildings for prayers and faith-based observances since the beginning of the republic.
But was this just devout Muslims practicing their religion? Or something more? Such as a public embrace of Islamism, which Center for Renewing America fellow Nathan Pinkoski describes “is best understood as a political ideology, a global project that aims to subordinate all aspects of government and civil society to Islam.”
Somali-born author and one-time Dutch lawmaker Ayaan Hirsi Ali, herself a former Muslim, has noted that “political Islam implies a constitutional order fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and with the ‘constitution of liberty’ that is the foundation of the American way of life.”
With that as background, understand that one of Mamdani’s “guests” apparently flashed an ISIS one-finger salute. In case you’ve been in a state of suspended animation for the last 25 years, ISIS is a terrorist group and a sworn enemy of the U.S.
As Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville posted, “The enemy is inside the gates.”
The iftar dinner was followed by a counter-protest, dubbed “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City,” which is constitutionally protected, and during which a couple of terrorist-inspired young Muslim men allegedly tossed homemade explosives at the demonstrators.
Both men were arrested. One “defiantly” flashed his own ISIS salute after the pair had been busted, the New York Post said.
Yet, despite the danger to life posed by the bombs, Mamdani came “out harder over peaceful protest than he is at guys throwing incendiary devices outside his house,” says podcaster Stephen L. Miller.
But that level of cultural hatred of America and the eliminationist rhetoric is only part of what Mamdani has brought to New York. Because just like Los Angeles’ inept far-left Mayor Karen Bass (a loud and proud supporter of Cuba’s late communist leader, Fidel Castro), you vote for the smile and the big promises, but then find out what you really got: rank socialism, which has never worked anywhere it’s been tried.
Socialism and Islamism in the Big Apple. What a concept.
Readers might recall that in early January, we wrote that Mamdani plainly wants “to seize the means of production, that his clearly implied wish as an Islamist is to globalize the intifada against the Jews, that defunding the police is close to his heart.”
During his inauguration, Mamdani pledged that his administration would “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”
Again, no surprise. Mamdani is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America. And he has surrounded himself with like-minded people. That includes Mamdani’s hand-picked director of New York’s “housing justice” office, Cea Weaver.
Haven’t heard of her? You will. Like Mamdani, she’s a self-proclaimed socialist and collectivist. She claims that “for centuries we have treated property as an individualized good and not as a collective good”; describes homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy”; and wants government to “seize private property.”
She’s serious. Weaver unabashedly says she wants to “impoverish the white middle class” and would be delighted for voters to “elect more Communists.” And of course, tax the rich.
So why not tax the rich? Well, for one thing, they’re already leaving New York for red states as fast as they can. They know what’s coming. And they’re taking New York’s tax base with them. No surprise that desperate Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is imploring those who have moved to come back.
She knows that those who voted for the “tax the rich” nonsense have a big surprise coming.
As the New York Post reports:
Their ‘Tax the Rich’ campaign targets millionaires, but Democratic Socialists of America lefties are now pushing for a slew of tax hikes that would slam middle-class New Yorkers.
The party’s NYC chapter is asking potential candidates seeking its endorsement if they will back hiking income taxes for individuals making more than $300,000 — three times less than the $1 million threshold socialist Mayor Mamdani campaigned on.
The DSA-NYC is also drumming up support from pols to tax New Yorkers with inheritances larger than $250,000, according to a copy of recent DSA candidate questionnaires obtained by The Post.
Here it comes, New York! There have been 22 major nations that have declared themselves as “socialist,” or “Marxist,” or “communist” in modern history. All of them have failed. Those that struggle on have adopted some version of capitalism to keep their socialist hells alive.
This is the future New York chose when it elected Mamdani. Domestic intifada and socialism.
Dear New Yorkers: Just as happened in once-bountiful and beautiful California, you picked your fate when you went to the ballot box and voted for socialism and Islamism. And now, as the late H.L. Mencken might say, you’ll get it “good and hard.”

Most of the capable people will flee. Then what?
The voters that elected the mayor loves everything about him. No regrets.
The people of NYC are far too stupid to have had enough of Mamdani. My guess is that most of the NYC voters are thrilled that they can claim virtue associated with embracing a muslim mayor, (who seeks to destroy their way of life).
“Never forget”. It’s just a punchline now.
They move to Florida or Texas and screw up like they did in NYC.
Professor Zero Mamdani is in the process of teaching New Yorkers an object lesson on the evils of Communism.
What is this "three times less" nonsense? It's one third.
The leftists in NYC and their DSA, are the Dark Knights of political ideology. Unfortunately in these times we are paying the tab to have their limbs reattached as fast as facts and truth chop them off. It’s pricey and pointless.
“Most of the capable people will flee. Then what?”
Recruit Snake Plissken replcements and keep them on standby.
I have zero sympathy for NY voters. Let them languish in their self imposed misery.
NYC has been conquered. The totalitarianism of Islam supersedes all other socialist/collectivist ideologies. All individual endeavors, aspirations, enjoyments, appreciations are subservient.
“I have zero sympathy for NY voters. Let them languish in their self imposed misery.”
I’ll go a step further. I like seeing them suffer for their stupidity.
I agree. I want those Rats to suffer severely.
I don’t care if the entire city burns to the ground, all of it.
Some may be tired of him but he hasn’t even got a good start yet He’s got a long way to go to make New York the Muslim capital of the United States
“Most of the capable people will flee. Then what?”
They come to Florida, like Palm Beach County, and start voting Democrat to destroy us. Like Locusts, it’s time for them to move on to another feeding area. New York is doomed, the last shot was not electing a Socialist NYC mayor. Hochul was already here this week groveling for people to return, they won’t. Hopefully, they will start dipping into the Teachers Union Pensions to float things out....
That’s when we can see the Karma.
New York will go broke unless the Democrats take control of Congress. Then deep within the “omnibus” funding bills American taxpayers will be forced to subsidize these evil, demonic socialists.
Not true.
I said when he was elected, contrary to this signaling doom and gloom for the Republicans, this would be extremely helpful to them in 2028. He will be an utter disaster and serve as a warning to others.
The answer to the headline is no. This article is fun as a conservative therapy session. Some of the minority of New York City voters who did not vote for Mamdani are complaining or leaving the city. But a majority of the voters who cared enough to vote voted for him. His policies have not been implemented yet so the voters have not felt the sting that badly yet. Give it time. There are indications that he is making fatal mistakes like not focusing on basic services like snow removal and trash removal. If he drops the ball on things like that, the voters will hate him.
Oh no, not yet. Don’t stop him. Let the voters live a full term, and maybe even a second one. This is what they wanted, so give it to them in spades.
