He terrifies me almost as much as the fact so many people voted for him

I think Gavin Newsom should terrify us more!

After his awful performance in California, I just overheard a bunch of obvious liberals in a restaurant talking about him favorably.

When he took the music aid money from the fire victims, he didn't even feel a smidgen of guilt. He spends and spends our money on nothing. Can anyone point at anything that he finished or made better. Anything?

The primary concern now is Islam. Dressed up as socialism.

The Koran permits Muslims to break their oaths - swearing an oath on the Koran is meaningless

It should be banned from use in public office, courts of law, or any other important matter.

The Quran seems the antithesis of our constitution. How can a US politician be allowed to swear an oath on a book that has no connection to the ideals of where he is to govern? Immigrants, both legal & illegal, make up a large percentage of NYC population. Modern day immigrants are different than in the past - in general they seem to be here for the freebies & not to for the freedom to make a good life for themselves & their families. So of course the sweet lies of communism appeals to

Muslims migrate as a religious duty - to spread Islam worldwide. The freebies are a bonus, and help them with their task.

In a way the "moderates" are more dangerous than the jihadis. The moderates lull ignorant non-Muslims into complacency. Unable to recognise the danger.

See:

Muslims see the left as weak, this is why Muslims vote left

They fear the conservatives, as conservatives have principles

All I can do is go back to my broken record... We have to destroy them. All of them. Slaughter them. Islam is the great throwback. They are the dark past reaching out of hell to draw us back in.

It is their lives or ours. Slaughter them. They have no right to be a part of our world.

No man ever won a war by dying for his country - or cause, or religion... He won by making the other bastard die for his.

According to Koran 9:111 we would be doing them a favour. According to the Koan, the only guarantee of paradise for a Muslim is to kill or be killed while fighting for the cause of Allah.

Unfortunately, many citizens in NYC and elsewhere have and are buying the idea that there’s a “free lunch”. We will have to see how he fares!

Failure is guaranteed. If his proposals get stopped, he’s a failure. If he gets them implemented, they will fail because they’re all stupid and contrary to economics and human nature, so he’ll be a different kind of failure.

Sasha, you’ve expressed a wariness about this guy that many of us feel. It’s not because he’s brown or Muslim, either. And it’s not hatred at all, Dr. Who. It’s warranted skepticism of someone selling “free lunch” tickets. I’m black and come from a family full of Muslims, (and I am a minority Christian within the group), and Mamdani gives me the creeps. It’s not always about race or religion. It’s about underlying values. More people in the world’s history have been helped by capitalism than by socialism or communism - - and that’s putting it mildly. Communism kills millions at a time, and Socialism is just the appetizer for it. The people voted because they responded to an appeal to their envy and lethargy. “The rich are getting richer, and they’re taking what belongs to you.” “You don’t have to work for what you get; the system is rigged anyway, so you may as well get what you can from the government.” “The government owes you everything that you need.” It’s that kind of thinking that elected Mamdani. It’s self-destructive, and I am personally hoping that the new mayor’s “collective vision” is side-stepped. It’s a nightmare of a vision.

They are herd animals. Like cattle. Treat them as such.

Not about religion? These are islamic values.

I don't say this to people but I'll say it to you. You need to rid yourself of your family. They are poison if you describe them correctly. Abandon them.

In saying that the disapproval of Mamdani “was not because of religion,” I meant that one could disagree with his politics without “hating” him solely because he is brown and a Muslim. In other words, his philosophy is objectionable no matter what he looks like or what religion he’s adopted. If he hopes to implement or enforce Muslim principles in NYC, he must be challenged directly. I love my family, but I follow Jesus.

A New Yorker here. Pretty upsetting to see all my friends celebrating Mamdani’s swearing in on Facebook. Yikes. Mamdani also appointed a fire chief, first gay woman, who was not previously a firefighter, but an EMT. I am not an expert in this area but isn’t that what happened in LA?

Please give it a break fidhu .socialism doesn't work. it didn't work in Russia ,Italy , Geirmany and it's not working in Venezuela and it will not work in New York . As for Islam tell me how many Baptist put explosives in their underwear get on a bus and blow it up ? How many many Lutherans go out on a given Sunday and behead people ? Get my drift ?

You brought out all the nasty libtard accusations trying to shut down debate racism etc.

And naxy Germany was a socialist regime that started with many of the same promises as mandani

IMHO, Mamdani thinks America is an implacable threat to people of color all over the world and racist beyond redemption, and he thinks the best way to break the back of that threat is to permanently weaken America, fooling useful idiots in major coastal metros like NYC into betraying themselves. I doubt he actually believes half of what he says.

Sasha, thank you for a great piece. I love it when you whip out theories of history and other sources. You have an incredible record of accuracy when applying these. That 4th Turning stuff is like the trailer for upcoming news stories. Scary accurate.

I think we need a new rule that says if you vote for someone, you can't move until the next election. I'm thinking about all of the wealthy white females and effeminate wealthy men who voted for him. He's coming for their money and I think the best thing for people like that is for them to experience consequences. I am disgusted with New York in that we watched a man swear on a Quran 25 years after people of that same thought process and religion killed so many people. However, it is important to note that this is what real diversity is our strength does to our society. We have to end Hart-Celler. I'd put good money down betting that most of his voters were not born in the United States. People who are so ignorant as to run from a collective government to come somewhere better in order to ...turn this place into the same place you just left? Moronic. I

Charlie Kirk was not much on my radar when he was alive. In fact, I could only remember one thing he said but it stuck in my head. It was something to the effect that young people needed to feel part of society, to be able to have prospects of buying a house and building a career, and they didn’t. He said, we need to do something about that or it’s going to be a big problem. Prescient.
