Something has gone wrong somewhere along the way in America and New York City. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji is heading to Syria and Lebanon next month – and she’s bringing along cops assigned to the First Couple’s taxpayer-funded NYPD detail, The Post has learned. Duwaji will be jetting to the Middle East for a trip beginning Sept. 20 to the countries on the State Department’s “Do Not Travel” list for Americans because of dangerous conditions, a source said. Duwaji, a 29-year-old Syrian-American artist, has ties to the region and refers to herself as a “Syrian Illustrator” on her...

Florida is taking its rivalry with New York straight to Times Square. A massive new billboard in the heart of Manhattan has a message for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “Thanks for the jobs!” The Florida Chamber of Commerce named Mamdani its “Economic Developer of the Year,” saying New York’s progressive tax policies are helping push businesses, wealth and residents toward the Sunshine State. The Chamber says the campaign is about more than a little trolling — it’s meant to make a broader case for lower taxes and free enterprise as Florida continues to attract people and businesses from high-tax states....

Staten Island judge on Monday temporarily blocked New York City’s rollout of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax, pausing enforcement while a lawsuit brought by a group of homeowners moves forward. Under the temporary restraining order, the city must take down the public tax roll and is barred from issuing any additional notices while the order is in effect. The next hearing is set for 2:15 p.m. August 31. The judge said from the bench that the notices caused irreparable harm because they did not explain why recipients had been flagged for the surcharge and warned that homeowners who failed to...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is throwing his support behind controversial legislation that would force Amazon and other delivery giants to directly employ thousands of drivers — despite warnings the policy will force Amazon outside the five boroughs and lead to slower, more expensive deliveries. Mamdani on Monday backed the Teamsters-supported Delivery Protection Act, which would bar companies from subcontracting core warehouse and delivery work at last-mile facilities and require workers to be directly employed by the facility operator. “Corporations like Amazon build billion-dollar business models by insulating themselves from accountability through a system of exploitative subcontracting,” the mayor...

The accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is the gravest accusation that can be made against any nation – and also, as Howard Jacobson has pointed out, the most sadistic that can be made against Israel in particular, because it deliberately shifts the Jews from historical victims of genocide to being perpetrators. That is why those who use it are either ignorant or malign – or, as in the case of Charlie Downes, campaign director and co-founder of far-Right party Restore Britain, both. Downes has a long history of using anti-semitic tropes (not least in his latest suggestion...

The accounts showed suspiciously unusual activity, with some recording more than 500 posts a day and another logging 955 reshares in a single day, all traced to City Hall infrastructure.

We've seen a lot of bad ideas coming from the socialist mayor of New York City. But the latest idea from Zohran Mamdani has people talking and responding with an immediate, visceral reaction. It's a new program to watch your children for four hours, so you can have a night out. All parents have to do is drop your kids off with government employees you don't know. Would you do this? NYC, Zohran Mamdani is offering free babysitting so parents can have a date night.Would you drop your children off to random babysitters at a city location in NYC? pic.twitter.com/gtnC8p7r9G—...

Dozens of suspected bot accounts on X/Twitter are amplifying content from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his circle, and reportedly can be traced to New York City Hall IP infrastructure, the World Zionist Organization told The Jerusalem Post exclusively. As part of its activities against the waves of antisemitism online, WZO’s dedicated Department for Combating Antisemitism was presented with data and findings collected by cyber experts specializing in the field. The information included an analysis of IP addresses and mapping of activity patterns and distribution networks of suspected bot accounts. WZO’s technological examination of activity on the X...

A German judicial panel in Munich issued a life prison sentence Thursday to an Afghan citizen responsible for a vehicle-ramming rampage during a demonstration last year that claimed the lives of a toddler and her mother while leaving scores wounded, AFP reported. The regional court found the 25-year-old defendant, named under local privacy guidelines as Farhad N., guilty on two counts of murder, 23 counts of attempted murder, and 22 counts of causing bodily harm, 19 of which were categorized as serious. Magistrates determined that the offender's actions bore a "particular gravity of guilt"... The vehicular assault took place immediately...

Islamists in New York City, Times Square: “We’ll take New York, then the rest of America. One by one, we will not stop until Islam enters every home. We’re done hiding, Islam is the one true religion.” Seriously, how can anyone not realize this is a huge threat? pic.twitter.com/LHG0NK1l2Q — Vivid.🇮🇱 (@VividProwess) August 3, 2026 […]

During Tuesday's National Night Out Against Crime on Staten Island, Mamdani received loud jeers and profanities as he approached to speak, lasting under a minute before leaving. The chilly welcome contrasted with warmer receptions in other boroughs, where he polled stronger than his 23.1 percent on the Island. Amid the tension, activist Scott LoBaido suffered cardiac arrest onsite, revived by NYPD officers and volunteers before hospitalization. Mamdani continues citywide events, highlighting record-low crime stats with police leaders.

Hamas wing of the Democratic Party The "Hamas wing of the Democratic Party" (also referred to as the "pro-Hamas wing") is a political epithet and rhetorical device primarily used by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party in the United States. The phrase emerged in late 2023 following the outbreak of the Oct 7 War and has been used to criticize progressive (and progracist) Democrats, and party policies or candidates overly critical of Israel or sympathetic to / influenced by / accepting Arab "Palestinian" propaganda, on many occasions expressing rationalization of "Palestinian" terror / crimes campaign.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s universal childcare plan will cost 50% more than he advertised, according to a new study. The proposed program is estimated to cost a whopping $9 billion annually, approximately with an average cost per child roughly $27,000, according to the report from the Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research organization affiliated with the New School. “An estimated $8.7 to $9.3 billion would be needed annually to fund universal child care in New York City,” the report, which was released on Monday, states. That’s $3 billion more than the mayor previously said his ambitious universal free...

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh: 🚨 WTF!? The Chinese Communist Party has flown Democratic Socialists of AMERICA members to China, as DSA members take a "pledge" to the CCP. This is BETRAYAL. They should have to renounce their citizenship and never return!

Scott Galloway is a marketing professor at NYU and was a big supporter of Zohran Mamdani. Because of course he was. All the Best™ people were, because Zohran is so dreamy and wants the best for everybody, unlike the meanies. He was also a big supporter of the pied-à-terre tax, which imposed a substantial annual fee on valuable "second homes" in New York City. You know the ones that gazillionaires have because they are super wealthy and don't care about the homeless and struggling people in New York City. They need to pay their fair share. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani...

Old and busted: Demanding ID for voting hurts the poor, women, and minorities! New hotness: Bring your ID if you expect to eat at Commie Basket!For decades, the Left has insisted that asking for identification to access the ballot box was far too burdensome for its grievance collectives. Of late, the argument has been that black voters and women face particular burdens in getting accurate identification, the former because of the lingering effects of Jim Crow and the latter because of name changes due to marriage and divorce. Requiring ID to vote would disenfranchise these voters, Democrats insist, even though...

NYPD statistics reveal that anti-Jewish hate crimes spiked over 53% in July, accounting for nearly 70% of all confirmed bias incidents across New York City.

The revelation that the State of New Jersey registered 6,600 admitted non-citizens to vote prompted Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) to blame it on a "software glitch." IDEMIA software is what the state uses to handle driver's licenses, vehicle titles & registrations. In the process of doing these tasks the customer is first asked whether he or she is a citizen. If the answer is yes, he or she is also offered the opportunity to register to vote. If the answer is no, he or she isn't supposed to be allowed to register to vote. A spokesperson for IDEMIA insists that...
