  • N.Y. GOP Group Wants Trump to Deport Mamdani

    A New York Republican group has asked President Donald Trump to revoke the citizenship of and deport Zohran Mamdani, the likely Democrat candidate for New York City mayor. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the first round of the ranked-choice Democratic Party primary election on Tuesday, was born in Uganda and raised in New York City. He was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2018, Newsweek reported. The 33-year-old Muslim is a state assemblyman and self-described democratic socialist. The New York Young Republican Club has called on the federal government, namely White House deputy chief of...
  • NYC’s massive $116B budget cracks down on e-bikes, includes $10M for universal childcare — and millions for immigrant services

    Mayor Eric Adams on Friday struck a handshake deal with the City Council on a record-breaking nearly $116 billion budget — which would create a new department to regulate e-bikes, sources said. The tentative agreement includes $6.1 million for a new “Department of Sustainable Delivery,’’ which would be staffed by 60 people and dedicated to e-bike regulation and enforcement after a recent push by the Adams administration to rein in the two-wheelers. City Hall also agreed to give the council a major boost in funding for immigration services to the tune of $54.5 million, a source familiar with the deal...
  • John Fetterman's Remarks About the Dem Candidate for NYC Mayor Hit the Bullseye

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is back to angering progressives and far-left loons, making some not-so-flattering remarks about New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani bested former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, showing that the left isn’t willing to moderate or become less crazy. Instead, they’re doubling down on defund the police antics, pro-Hamas theatrics, and hardcore socialist programs, like government-run grocery stores. All the worst people are supporting this candidacy. I asked this New Yorker who she wants for mayor. -"I voted for Mamdani" -"He's a socialist, do you think socialisim can work?" -"No." 👍 pic.twitter.com/boyyPEYTDV...
  • Andrew Cuomo staying on NYC mayoral election ballot — as critics slam ex-gov as ‘spoiler’ candidate

    Andrew Cuomo is staying on the New York City mayoral election ballot — a move that prompted critics to slam the ex-gov as a “spoiler” candidate. Sources confirmed that Cuomo will not decline to run on an independent ballot line, ahead of a Friday deadline to pull his name from the November ticket. Cuomo’s defiant stance comes as he hemorrhages union support after his stunning loss to socialist contender Zohran Mamdani in Tuesday’s Democratic primary – and amid widespread consternation that he’ll give the Queens assemblyman an easier path to Gracie Mansion. “Cuomo’s name in the race is fantastic for...
  • 'No dignity' in socialism: NYC Mayor Adams announces re-election bid after Mamdani wins Dem primary

    Fox News ^ | June 26, 2025 | Deirdre Heavey
    Mayor Eric Adams announced his re-election campaign Thursday on the steps of New York City Hall, surrounded by supporters, union leaders and business partners, while protesters called him a "criminal" from across the park. Adams was elected as a Democrat in 2021 but chose to run as an independent this year amid low approval ratings and his since-dropped federal corruption charges. In Adams' absence, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was widely expected to pick up the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary election, but 33-year-old self-proclaimed Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani shocked the political establishment when he declared victory. "This is a city...

    This is just the latest casualty in a party that doesn’t know who it is anymore.Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback is officially dead. The former New York governor conceded Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor to Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who rose a wave of far-left energy to victory. The message from Democrat voters was loud and clear: the old guard is no longer welcome. Cuomo’s loss isn’t just about one race in one city; it is a warning sign for Democrats nationwide. It proves the deep rift within the party has only widened since their disastrous...

    Far-left Democrats are tickled pink that radical Islamic socialist Zohran Mamdani beat former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in yesterday’s Big Apple mayoral primary. Indeed, top Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), are apparently not concerned about Mamdani’s obviously crazed views and plans, including arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit New York. The victory means Mamdani will almost certainly become the next mayor. Mamdani’s BackgroundMamdani is an Indian Muslim from Uganda who was naturalized in 2018. He takes his middle name, Kwame, from Ghanian communist Kwame Nkrumah. Added to that problematic past are his views,...

    Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is consulting with his team on next steps following his loss in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Cuomo has already qualified for the general election ballot on an independent ballot line. Last night, New York City held party primaries for a range of citywide and local offices, including mayor and city council. In one of the more closely watched races, New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani defeated ten other candidates to win the Democratic nomination, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who led in the polls for most of the primary cycle....

    New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a candidate in the 2025 New York City mayoral race, has sparked intense debate with a striking pledge: if elected mayor, he would order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he set foot in the city. In a recent interview, Mamdani articulated a vision for New York City that aligns its actions with international law, even in the face of federal resistance and the United States’ non-signatory status to the International Criminal Court (ICC). When pressed by the interviewer on what he would do if Netanyahu visited New York City during...

    In the race for the Democrat nomination to be mayor of New York City, Andrew Cuomo has now conceded to far left socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is now poised to win the contest. It’s amazing that Cuomo would give this up so easily without a fight.

    The Daily Mail ^ | 23 Jun 2025 | BRITTANY CHAIN
    A failed rapper and Democratic socialist has emerged as the frontrunner in New York City's mayoral race. Zohran Mamdani, 33, is going head to head with former New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo in trying to secure the Democratic primary nomination. According to Polymarket, Mamdani pulled ahead to become the favorite on Monday, just one day ahead of the primary vote. The poll gives him a 61 percent chance of winning. It is a marked shift from late May, when Cuomo still had a 91 percent chance of winning, according to the cryptocurrency betting market. Mamdani is currently a three-term...
  • A Shock Poll Suggests that the Marxist-Muslim Zohran Mamdani Will be New York's Next Mayor

    When people think of American commerce, they think of New York. And when people think of American Jewish culture, they also think of New York, which has the largest Jewish community of any city in the world outside of Israel. But if the polls are correct, New York may soon have a mayor who is an avowed Marxist and an antisemite. (And yes, I equate anti-Zionism directly with antisemitism.)

    Among the larger states, the two that are closest to each other in population and demographics are New York and Florida. According to the latest U.S. Census data (from July 1, 2024), the population of New York was 19,867,248, while the population of Florida was 23,372,215. More recent estimates from a source called World Population Review put New York’s 2025 population at 19,997,100 (an increase of about 130,000 on the year), and Florida’s at 23,839,600 (an increase of about 467,000 over the same year).

    Gov. Kathy Hochul shut down Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan to hike taxes on some New Yorkers — as she admitted high costs were pushing residents to move out of state. Hochul was asked in a TV interview if she backed Mamdani’s plan to tax wealthy New Yorkers and up the corporate tax and flatly replied, “No.” “I’m not raising taxes at a time where affordability is the big issue,” Hochul told PIX 11. Mamdani has said he would impose a 2% income tax on Big Apple residents who make more than $1 million a year and inflate...

    Globalize the Intifada," "decolonize," and "defund the police" don't really mean what you think they do, right? Well, neither does "Death to America." It really is something of a love letter to America, at least according to MSNBC. MSNBC is now trying to convince their dwindling audience that just because Iranians chant "death to America" doesn't mean they want death for America. Richard Stengel--a perfect member of the transnational elite--doesn't understand why Trump is so hung up on Iran getting nuclear weapons. He's been in Tehran and watched Islamists shouting the chant, and he had a perfectly good time. NYC...

    Yes, yes. I know "unhinged" and "socialist" go together like peas and carrots, but it is a headline. Now, on to the story. New York City does elections the new-fangled way, using ranked-choice voting to ensure that the outcomes take forever to tally, the results tend to lean left, and voters are maximally confused. That makes predicting outcomes particularly difficult, although you can balance the difficulty by assuming that the worst outcome possible is the most likely. Throw in the fact that a plurality of New York City voters will reliably make the wrong choice when it comes to electing...
