The radical left’s takeover of America’s largest city is complete, and it comes with open attacks on President Donald Trump, capitalism, and even the very foundations of Western civilization.
Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist” and the first Muslim mayor-elect of New York City, delivered a fiery, Marxist-tinged victory speech that sounded less like an American mayor and more like a disciple of Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Eugene Debs rolled into one.
Mamdani not only quoted socialist Eugene Debs but also invoked Jawaharlal Nehru, the Marxist “founding father” of socialist India, who “crushed Hindus and empowered Jihadis.”

Mamdani also declared his intention to “freeze rents,” make “buses fast and free,” and bring “universal childcare” to New York — an agenda right out of a socialist manifesto.
Calling himself a “Muslim democratic socialist,” Mamdani celebrated toppling what he called “a political dynasty” and said his victory marked the “dawn of a better day for humanity.”
He vowed to make New York a city where “the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.”
Translation: higher taxes, more regulation, and open hostility toward landlords, small businesses, and anyone daring to succeed under the free market.
Mamdani couldn’t finish his remarks without unleashing a tirade against President Trump, the city’s most famous native son. “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him,” he boasted, “It is the city that gave rise to him.”
He went on to mock Trump and his supporters as “billionaires and bosses who seek to extort workers,” calling his administration “a despot” and promising that “to get to any of us, you’ll have to get through all of us.”
Mamdani: After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only how we stop Trump; it’s how we stop the next one.
So, Donald Trump—since I know you’re watching—I have four words for you: turn the volume up.
We will hold bad landlords to account, because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.
We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections, because we know—just as Donald Trump does—that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.
New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant. Hear me, President Trump: when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

Mamdani’s speech wasn’t a victory address, it was a manifesto.
He proudly declared himself a Muslim and a “democratic socialist” who refuses to apologize for it.
In his words, New York will “respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with strength,” but in reality, his plan replaces individual liberty with state control.
This is the new Left, obsessed with tearing down not only Trump but also the millions of Americans who believe in faith, freedom, and the rule of law.
Last night was a very sad time for America.
When things get worse in NY, mamdani will simply blame Trump. That will play well in NY. That is his free pass there.
No it wasn’t.
Some Blue states elected Democrats ....again.
What’s the big deal?.................
President Trump is going to swat this fly at every opportunity. One and done, ‘mr. mayor.’
Now he has to deliver. This might work for a year or two as he empties the city coffers, but he will run out of money. Even as there is dark money poured into NYC.
The other caveat is that if you give people free things, they will take more than you can provide in an effort to get more than anyone else also getting free things.
Hey, at least we get to see what’s in store for the rest of the country by watching NYC.
Don’t mind the maggots.
Hey, America! You exiled Christ from your culture. You imbeciles created a vacuum. Wanna guess Who, exactly, filled that vacuum? Embrace the suck!
Matt 12:45: Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
NYC got what it deserves. Good riddance to bar rubbish. Let it burn, fire purges.
Not too bright are they. So, first up? Turn the 9/11 memorial into a martyr memorial for the hi jackers? Those that have actual knowledge of socialism/communism already know how this goes.
He’ll just blame all his failures on Trump, and the sheeple will buy it.
His ‘FREEZE RENT’ policy will destroy the property base in NYC..........
Mamdani is mentally unstable
He’s Muslim. That’s how they roll...................
Does not explain Pa. The rats have never been more motivated. We better wake up.
and he’ll need one of his own mental health teams to visit him ,LOL
Socialist??? TOTALITARIAN. Billions of supporters worldwide. Enemies foreign and domestic.
....”The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
Thomas Jefferson.......
Pennsylvania is a lot like Illinois.
As Illinois is held hostage by Chicago, Pennsylvania is held hostage by Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Harrisburg.............
