~Ladies and gentlemen, the next mayor of Minneapolis... Mogadishu? Nope - Minneapolis victory party of Omar Fateh after he won the MN Democratic endorsement pic.twitter.com/QzBwVWPbC2 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) July 20, 2025 Minnesota Nice is looking more and more like Minnesota Suicidal. Whatever else may be said of it, in Mogadishu it would be considered weird - and kind of pathetic - to make, say, Garrison Keillor the mayor. In that sense, notwithstanding an IQ down at Congressional-approval level, Somalis are smarter than western progressives. Which brings me to our regular, if increasingly obnoxious, "As I was saying twenty years...

The reason Muslim politicians are increasingly successful in becoming mayors across Western cities is not necessarily due to superior policies or broad democratic appeal. Rather, it lies in the deep fragmentation of the communal space in Western societies, which creates a power vacuum easily filled from the bottom up. This is the very space in which the Muslim Brotherhood excels, organizing grassroots communities and gradually absorbing entire geographic areas under the influence of sharia-aimed governance models. These mayors often operate within a limited framework: their roles are mostly ceremonial or administrative. They manage trash collection, oversee local infrastructure, and are...

A new poll suggested that democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s sheen may already be wearing off among voters. Mamdani’s support appears to have dropped 14 percentage points from less than a week ago, based on a previous poll, while Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s surged 12 percent. Mamdani shocked the political world by winning the Democratic primary, defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He now faces Sliwa and Cuomo, as well as current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in the general election. Cuomo and Adams are both running as independents, assuming they each decide to...

What’s wrong with New Yorkers electing Zohran Mamdani mayor? Seriously. He’s a socialist, isn’t he? He’ll wreck New York City, you say. But didn’t that process start with Bill DeBlasio? Do you think that process ends electing Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams? Perennial candidate Curtis Silwa is a savior? Hasn’t socialism been the road Democrats have been traveling for decades? When Mamdani’s socialist experiment crashes and burns, maybe it’ll persuade New Yorkers to abandon Democrats. Maybe independents decide to swing Republican.JFK-style liberals began vanishing after Kennedy’s assassination. Mamdani’s election would make it obvious what should be obvious. Liberalism, progressivism --...

There's rarely a dull moment in New York City politics, and the mayoral race is no exception, with all of the candidates in the race continuing to make the push to convince Big Apple residents that they are the one to lead the iconic city for the next four years.Democrat nominee and media darling Zohran Mamdani, for instance, was paraded around Capitol Hill on Tuesday by another admitted Democrat Socialist, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), in an effort to win over Congressional holdouts in their party who have not yet endorsed Mamdani in part over concerns about his pro-Hamas, antisemitic views...

A Monday poll by Data for Progress gives new insight into the 2025 New York City mayoral election as the field of candidates for the November general election remains in flux. The Data for Progress poll shows Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic primary winner, leading the field with 40% of polled individuals marking the 33-year-old as their top choice for mayor.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent in the mayoral race, blasted Andrew Cuomo for deciding to do the same. The former New York governor's move comes after he lost to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary. He's also planning to ask all other candidates in the race, not including the assemblyman, to drop out by mid-September if they’re not in the lead, reports The New York Post. Adams, however, showed zero interest in going along with Cuomo's plan. “Are you kidding me?” he told The New York Post. “I didn’t lose in...

Former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on July 14 that he will remain in the New York City mayor’s race, weeks after losing the Democratic primary.“To the 440,000 New Yorkers who voted for me, a sincere thank you,” Cuomo said in a video statement posted on social media platform X.“Thank you for believing in me and my agenda and in my experience. And I am truly sorry that I let you down.”Cuomo lost the Democratic nomination last month to Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman.

The former governor plans to mount a competitive campaign in the general election for mayor of New York City after his surprise loss in the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.

As you’ve probably heard, Zohran Mamdani is the communist who recently declared victory in New York City’s Democrat mayoral primary. He is expected to become mayor in November after the general election.Mamdani made several fraudulent claims when becoming a U.S. citizen in 2018 at the age of 26. Part of the naturalization process Mamdani went through includes the Oath of Allegiance, during which the applicant must recite the following statement: “I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”Prior to taking this oath, Mamdani completed Form N-400. Because...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson vowed Tuesday that his city “will not ever cooperate with ICE” “You know, again, it’s unconscionable at a time in which so many working people and poor people need government to show up for them, that this administration, the Trump administration, has caused so much consternation and division,” Johnson said Tuesday during a press conference. Johnson was responding to a question about whether the city would “set up local police perimeters around schools to shield students from federal agents without warrants.” “Look, we are welcoming city ordinance,” Johnson said. “Our local police department will not ever...

South Asian socialist identitarian mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani identified as "Black or African American" as well as "Asian" on his college applications, The New York Times has learned via a hack of Columbia University's application data. Millions of records were leaked. Mamdani, who was born to parents of Indian descent in Uganda, said he checked the box because the identity boxes on the application weren't enough to show the breadth and scope of his ethnic and racial composition. He admitted to the Times that as a high school senior in 2009, he filled out all his forms the same way,...

“He is urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene." Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores released a statement Saturday, condemning what he called “masked abductions” amid immigration raids across Los Angeles County, and directing police to intervene in unlawful or unauthorized operations. “These are not lawful arrests. These are abductions,” said Mayor Flores.

After Tuesday's primary, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is that much closer to serving as New York City's next Democratic mayor, especially after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded. That Mamdani is a far-left socialist who has concerning views on a whole host of issues puts his fellow Democrats in a tricky place. Many still offered words of praise, though, including fellow New York Democrats like Gov. Kathy Hochul and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. As it turns out, though, Hochul doesn't look to be ready to back Mamdani after all, though. "Today, voters made their voices heard, demanding a more affordable, more...

In many ways, the winner of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani is a gift to Republicans. He puts a big spotlight on all the extremism that the Democrats have embraced; he drives it all out into the open. When asked by host Kristen Welker whether he thought as a "self-declared Democratic Socialist," whether billionaires have a "right to exist." His response should give everyone pause. ZOHRAN MAMDANI: “I don't think that we should have billionaires.” pic.twitter.com/optpzkp28w— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) June 29, 2025I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is...

NYPD officers are warning of a mass exodus from the force if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor — a move they say would throw New York City into a full-blown public safety disaster. Multiple officers tell me they’re already preparing for early retirement, and many others are considering walking off the job. “We’re barely holding the line as it is,” one veteran officer said. “If Zohran Mamdani wins, I’m gone — and so are a lot of others. We’re not sticking around to watch this place burn.” Officers are deeply alarmed by Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, which they say includes plans...

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has officially endorsed Israel foe and Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Mamdani, a member of the DSA, was arrested Oct. 13, 2023, for participating in a protest outside Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, demanding a cease-fire after Israel struck Gaza in response to Hamas’ brutal terror attack a week earlier. Last year, he also introduced the “Not on Our Dime!: Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act” — legislation aimed at barring New York-based charitable groups from engaging in “unauthorized support of Israeli settlement activity.”...

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is stepping up big time against socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral race. Ackman’s ready to pour “hundreds of millions of dollars” into supporting any strong candidate who can take on Mamdani. Mamdani just beat Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and is now set to face Mayor Eric Adams, who’s running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in November. Ackman, the guy in charge of Pershing Square Capital, is really worried about Mamdani winning. On X, he said he woke up “gravely concerned” about the city’s future. He’s not a fan of...
