NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivers a speech marking America's 250th anniversary: "The irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional," he said. "For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best." "We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else. The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here nothing is...

New York, July 2 - The city's mayor fired his deputy chief of staff Thursday after the aide had the audacity to propose that city resources focus on New York City rather than the Palestinian cause, in a move progressive activists haled as a principled stand against localism. The disgraced staffer, identified as career civil servant Rachel Katz, reportedly circulated a memo suggesting the administration tackle subway delays, migrant shelter overflows, and street crime before allocating more municipal staff time to Nakba commemorations and virtual Gaza solidarity hours. Sources say Mamdani read the document, turned pale with ideological fury, and...

Elon Musk on Friday slammed New York City’s Communist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, following his disgusting Independence Day address on Friday morning. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Mamdani gave an address on Friday morning, preceding President Trump’s address to the nation from Mount Rushmore, during which the immigrant mayor surrounded himself with foreigners and lectured Americans on how bad our country is. America, he said, “is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal.” “How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal,” he said of American citizens who value our...

Can the nation’s greatest city survive full-on socialism?It is still technically possible that self-declared democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will not become the next mayor of the nation’s largest city and financial capital of the world. But those chances might best be described as a wing and a prayer. One would have thought that New Yorkers who voted for Mamdani in the Democratic primary months ago without knowing much about him would reconsider their support once they learned the details of his plan to turn the city into a socialist utopia. But the smooth-as-silk 34-year-old native of Uganda continues to hold...

Zohran Mamdani has barely ever held a job, admitted he’s a nepo baby and has no experience in local government, The Post has learned. New York City Mayor candidate Mamdani – who has lived most of his life in subsidized housing – failed in his attempts to be a rapper, musician and managing previous political campaigns. An analysis of the 33-year-old’s work history shows he has been employed for only approximately three years in the time between graduating college in 2014 and being elected to the New York State Assembly in 2020. Behind the shiny social media posts of the...

The family of a promising Ugandan activist who was thought to be the “future Oprah” is gearing up to sue the US National Park Service for what is believed to be more than $270 million after she was decapitated in a freak accident in Utah’s Arches National Park, Yahoo! News reports. Human rights activist Esther Nakajjigo, 25, saw her promise as a future Oprah extinguished when on June 13, 2020, she died in the park after a traffic control gate slammed into her rental car. Strong winds apparently blew a metal pole from an unlatched gate into the car and...

The fatal police shooting of a Ugandan refugee who drew something from his pocket and extended his hands in a "shooting stance" happened about a minute after officers in a San Diego suburb arrived at the scene where a mentally unstable man was reportedly walking in traffic, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

Migingo island is a small rocky outcrop in the middle of Lake Victoria that's causing big trouble between two African nations. While the island is marked on maps and official documents as belonging to Kenya; the Ugandan government claims that Migingo Island is in Ugandan waters and that it is therefore illegal for Kenyans to fish there. The rich fishing ground has attracted fishermen from both Kenya and Uganda, three hours and six hours away respectively.

When Bill Clinton held a Ugandan newborn in his arms during a trip to East Africa in 1998, the mother decided to name him after the president. Now 14 and hoping to become a surgeon, Bill Clinton Kaligani — who considers the ex-president his “dad” — was overjoyed when he was reunited with his namesake.
