Most every day the Democratic-Socialist candidate for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, releases a statement or policy that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he’s not fit to lead the City.
[…]If the city is to be saved from fiscal destruction and an exodus of upper- and middle-class taxpayers, Mamdani must be stopped.
Democrats should follow the lead of their state party chairman, Jay Jacobs, who has declined to support Mamdani because in his judgment, the Democratic Socialists platform does not “represent the principles or policies of the Democratic Party.”

A Mamdani mayoralty will mean more criminals on the streets.
Mamdani is vowing to close the Rikers Island jail facility, reducing the city’s jail population by thousands.
Every previously implemented reduction in Rikers’ population has led to a crime surge.

We give Mamdani credit. He isn’t hiding his contempt for the U.S.
This paperwork American (thanks Auron MacIntyre) flaunts his communism and anti-American credentials every chance he gets.
Maria Danzilo, whose sister was in the WTC during the 1993 attack asks, “Why trigger people like this? It seems unnecessary. Don’t you want to heal the past? Do we really want to make people so upset? It just seems like it’s not good for the city after so many terrible things have happened.”
The answer is “No!”
He doesn’t care about healing the past and if New York City voters elect him mayor they will reap what Mamdani has only begun to sow.

In the New York City mayoral debate, Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Momdani refused to denounce Hamas terrorists, refused to denounce Hassan Piker who said America deserved 9/11, refused to denounce “Globalize the Intifada,” and declined to admit that Israel had a right to exist.
This should come as no surprise to voters.
[…]The bombastic rhetoric of Mamdani and his radical confreres also explains why hate crimes against Jews have been rising in New York City. “In 2024,” The New York Times has reported “52% of the reported hate crimes are against Jews, according to the police. The trend has continued in the first quarter of 2025, when 60% of hate crimes were committed against Jews.”
It’s estimated that 13% of the city’s registered voters — about 598,000 — are Jewish.
On Election Day they will be a key group that determines the outcome of the mayoral race.
If Mamdani is to be stopped, Orthodox, Reform, and Hasidic Jews must unite and get to the polls on Nov. 4, 2025.

“I saw the lights go out on Broadway,” wrote and sang Billy Joel in 1976.
This November is the anointment of Zohran Mamdani to Mayor of New York City and, to his detractors, the beginning of the end of that great city.
Why is Mamdani so threatening?
His background includes: Born in Uganda, arrived in America as a seven-year-old, Moslem, New York State assemblyman, member of the Democratic Party, Member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
[…]Now, Mayor Mamdani will propose gazillion-dollar programs with President Trump holding the purse strings.
It’s a no-brainer and a non-starter.
What’s Mayor Mamdani going to do?
Or better yet where is Mayor Mamdani going to find his golden goose that can lay golden eggs?
[…]A Mamdani attack on Wall Street will launch one of the greatest financial wars in American history, with the fiscal solvency of the northeast at stake.

If Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor and implements the changes he’s promising, expect the city’s financial condition and public safety to deteriorate rapidly.
Think criminal bedlam, antisemitic rioters allowed full rein, and cutbacks to basic city services.
In such a crisis, desperate New Yorkers will look to Albany, where the governor has virtually unlimited power to curb the mayor’s authority or remove him, even if no crime has been committed.
[…]Mamdani has promised to close Rikers Island.
Thousands of violent inmates will be on the streets.
Meanwhile, cops will be quitting in droves, according to former New York City Police Department Commissioners Bill Bratton and Ray Kelly.
While crime spikes, fiscal mismanagement will force the city to curtail essential services like sanitation and what’s left of police protection.
[…]Zohran Mamdani’s extreme anti-capitalist, anti-police and antisemitic promises, if implemented, threaten the survival of the city’s economy and the safety of its residents, particularly Jewish New Yorkers.
The governor’s removal power was created for such rare circumstances.
It’s vital that Hochul or her successor has the courage to use it when the need arises.

Bread lines coming to the Big Apple?
It can happen.
For real.
Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for mayor of New York, is an out in the open Communist. He wants city government to take over all grocery stores and run them with bureaucrats out of city offices. Command-and-control food distribution — Soviet-style.
Just like Venezuela. And Cuba. Lovely!
[…]Best of luck, New York City!
You were once humankind’s greatest city.
Saying good-bye to the fabled Big Apple will be hard.
