"Great cities fall to the sound of cheering crowds." Ami Kozak on "X"
The Democratic Party put another bullet in its head this week with the election of the charming, affable jihadi communist Zohran Mamdani. Is “communist” too harsh a label? (He styles himself, softly, a “socialist.”) Yet his campaign platform looks like a template from the venerable Soviet Council of Ministers circa 1957: Free Everything: housing, buses and subways, college, child-care, government food stores. . . with a cherry-on-top of replacing police with social workers in high crime areas — because rapists and car-jackers would quit their rowdy ways if only they could talk about their feelings.
If you believe the news reports emanating from Woke Central, Zohran received major support from the folks who predominate the Upper West Side, where he was raised-up by his Columbia prof Dad and film-maker Mom. That is, voted in by the same high-income demographic that flocks to Zabar’s Deli on Sunday mornings for smoked sturgeon and babka — a curious alliance. I guess this solves the old riddle of why Europe’s Jews walked so placidly into Auschwitz.
“Life imitates art,” old Oscar Wilde liked to say, and with so many self-administered bullets in its head now, the Democratic Party looks more and more like The Walking Dead, a necromantic tribute to its erstwhile mascot, “Joe Biden,” the Phantom of the White House. Fortunately, the Latinx bombshell, AOC, America’s answer to Eva Peron, has stepped up to the leadership role, flanked by the foxy Jasmine Crockett, with their mentor, Bernie Sanders close at hand (on a leash, really) barking validation for the Party’s death trip.
It’s a wonder of our time (and its playful zeitgeist) that New Yorkers might choose a mayor even worse than the brain-dead colossus, Bill de Blasio, but there it is, in plain sight for all to behold. The Big Apple and its various services will now go from their currently merely broke-ass condition, to the complete collapse of infrastructure, transit, housing, revenue, business, and public safety, in other words, to true Third World authenticity! Serious people, who run viable businesses, support families, and pay whopping taxes, are in a panic, all a’chatter about moving elsewhere.
That chatter is not idle, especially among the class that owns major real estate, of which New York City has a frightening and increasingly obsolete inventory — hundreds of office skyscrapers running at fifty percent (or less) occupancy, which cannot cover their mortgages, maintenance, or taxes. What will become of them? I’ll tell you: some will be foreclosed-on, sold for dimes on the dollar (and fail again under new ownership,) and quite few will stand empty waiting for acanthus tree seeds to sprout on their empty windowsills.
Or, they will turn into “squats,” like the towers in the abandoned city center of Johannesburg that I saw visiting there ten years ago. Those giant office buildings were not converted into “residential,” you understand; folks were simply camping-out there, even with the electricity and water turned off. This is exactly what happens when you run the prosperous people, whom you hate, out of town, which is what happened in that sad-sack nation. How many demonstration projects like that are needed to prove that communism with a racist frosting on top is a mug’s game.
Of course, we’re not there yet. Zohran hasn’t been sworn in, though the victory celebration just now looks like it’s fait accompli. You can only imagine the frantic conversation running between the old party poohbahs out in the cold: Chuck Schumer, Hakim, Nadler, Obama, even the loser, Cuomo, plus the non-elected party apparatchiks: Axelrod, Podesta, Carville, Plouffe, Emmanuel. . . . They’re not saying, but I bet many are silently wondering: Is there some way we can just disappear the guy? Make him go away? X him out? Cancel his ass? (Someone, for Godsake, find a couple of girls who will say he groped them in an elevator!)
Or maybe some electoral work-around? Maybe put what remains of the party’s dwindling financial mojo back behind Eric Adams — yes, he’s still Mayor — who supposedly quit the party (after they tried and failed to stuff him in prison) and is running for mayor now as an independent. . . but who will surely welcome whatever support and moolah they can bring to his cause. Adams’s two great virtues as a political figure: he’s not Bill de Blasio and he’s not Zohran Mamdani.
New York might go down the drain anyway. At least for a while. That broken business model for skyscrapers is not going away anytime soon, and neither is the greatly augmented Third World population funneled across the open border into New York City by “Joe Biden’s” shadowy minders. Will New York turn into that fairytale town whose economy subsisted on people simply taking in each other’s laundry?
Well, the city will always have its geographical assets, like, the best goshdarn ocean harbor in the whole east coast. Something will be there. . . some human agglomeration. But what? And over all of that, like the uncanny eyes of Dr. TJ Eckleburg in Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, looming above the ash-heaps of Queens County on the road to West Egg, lately rises the stern visage of Donald J. Trump, New York real estate mogul superbus, and now President of this sore-beset nation, watching events roll out.
The Muslim freak has been advocating terrorism for the two years he's been in the US; someone told Bondi maybe he needs to be tossed out out the country for that.
New Kunstler.
WHEN WILL WALL STREET MOVE TO TEXAS
RUMORS HAVE BEEN CIRCULATING
p
I almost hope he wins so we have a clear example in the US of what happens when you make everything "free". If the voters in NYC are that dumb, they deserve this clown.
The NYSE is already in the process of establishing a presence in Dallas.
“Charming”. Like looking into the eyes of a cobra.
Diversity is a curse that is becoming more fully recognized the more it is practiced.
“Great cities fall to the sound of cheering crowds.”
That’s a very interesting quote.
Indeed, it (long term regime change) has happened in just that way a couple of times.
I hope not. Let the people of NYC show the entire world how stupid they are. First AOC, now this Islamic Marxist.
Bill Melugin of Fox News summarizes the Mamdani agenda in this post on Twitter (X),
Some of the things socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has previously called for:
Abolish NYPD – Abolish prisons – Abolish medical bills – Abolish private health insurance – Ban all guns – Legalize sex work – Safe injection sites – End cash bail – Decriminalize drug possession – End sentencing enhancements – End all cooperation with ICE.
Mamdani also wants the government to run grocery stores, and other such idiocies, as a card-carrying socialist.

jihadi communist = islamo marxist
Will people vote for Curtis Slewa in the general election? I doubt it, they are far too “stooopid” to do that.
.
ya’ know ive had some thoughts here...this guy is pandering with all these pie in sky promises as if he has never balaced his own checkbook.
The promises are pointedly & flagrantly absurd but heres my thought: as a jihadi commie/ islamo-marxist ( even if he loses) him coming to the forefront like this is actually a stepping stone to establish more islamo marxism , raise the profile of NYC muslims, and a very strong toehold opening into local government in more muslim participation until NYC is run by muslims.
Im no conspiracy theorist , i like to look at all angles of this one, especially this one .
Im no NYC voter but I would vote Eric Adams as a safe choice.
The buildings have been leased AFAIK.
FWIW, the S&P 500 reached an all-time high today, but I don't hear anyone giving Trump credit.
Zohran Mamdani??
They might as well just elect chairman Mao.
Yes, a sharia marker is being set down in NYC. Choas creeps in on a Little Jihadist’s footprint. More of Islam’s base camps (mosques) open up for their barbarian warriors.
It’s too bad the best candidate the Dems could fine to run against him was a man responsible for old people passing away alone, without family support, in Nursing Homes during Covid-19.
If they move it to Texas might I suggest that they choose Houston where it’s already the kind uf hellish $#ithole that they like.
