Antisemitic NYC mayoral candidate wants apartheid-inspired higher taxes against Whites

Don't let his smile fool you

Let's look to New York City, where the Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has unfurled a banner of socialist ambition that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the metropolis. 

This 33-year-old anti-Semite, who only deigned to become an American citizen in 2018, has proposed a scheme as audacious as it is divisive: to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” 

Yes, you read that correctly, whiter neighborhoods. The phrase drips with the kind of racialized rhetoric that ought to raise eyebrows in any society that values fairness over tribalism.

Mamdani, a self-professed socialist with a penchant for radical posturing, has laid out his vision in a policy memo that accuses the city’s property tax system of favoring “wealthier homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods.” 

His remedy? To lighten the load on lower-income homeowners while, in his words, “raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones.” One might ask whether this is a policy rooted in equity or a thinly veiled exercise in class warfare, tinged with a troubling fixation on race.

Is it even constitutional? I doubt it.

But this is merely the tip of Mamdani’s ideological iceberg. His platform reads like a fever dream of far-left fantasies: city-owned grocery stores, defunding the police, and rent freezes. It is as though he has taken a leaf from the playbook of every failed utopian experiment and decided to test it on one of the world’s greatest cities. 

The backlash has been swift and deserved. Republicans and moderates alike have recoiled, with Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee leading the charge. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ogles called for Mamdani’s American citizenship to be stripped, citing the candidate’s alleged support for foreign terror organizations, a reference to Mamdani’s professed “love” for individuals convicted of funneling money to Hamas. 


Ogles did not mince words: “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an anti-Semitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” he declared, adding, “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.”

The outrage is not confined to political circles. New York billionaire Bill Ackman, a man not known for sitting idly by, has thrown his considerable weight behind efforts to thwart Mamdani’s ascent. “There are hundreds of millions of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight,” Ackman declared, signaling a financial bulwark against this socialist insurgency.

Mamdani’s improbable rise, having bested former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, now pits him against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent in November’s general election. The stage is set for a clash not just of personalities but of visions along with sanity vs. insanity: one tethered to the realities of governance, the other soaring into the ether of ideological purity. 

New Yorkers, one suspects, will have much to ponder as they decide whether to entrust their city to a man whose policies seem less about progress than about settling scores.

Hasn't the West been suicidal long enough? It's time to think about the implications of electing this guy.

Jayapal getting the Adam Schiff treatment from House GOP over anti-Semitic comments

Jayapal identifies as a swamp creature

House Republicans are attempting to censure Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) for calling Israel a "racist state." After realizing she was saying those words out loud, she later tried walking them back. She even voted "yes" on a GOP-led resolution stating that Israel is not a racist or apartheid state, but that is too little too late and an obvious attempt for the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to stay out of trouble. 

Isn't it sad that we need a resolution to state the obvious about Israel and bite our tongues over the obvious about Palestine and most of the Middle East?

Jayapal said at a Netroots Nation panel in Chicago last weekend, "I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us — that it doesn't even feel possible."

Jayapal's embarrassing anti-Semitic remarks [because let's face it, attacking Israel is a backdoor way of attacking the Jews] came just prior to Israel's President Herzog's address to a joint meeting of Congress.

After she walked it back, however, she couldn't help but take a poke at Israel's Prime Minister: "I do, however, believe that Netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government has engaged in discriminatory and outright racist policies and that there are extreme racists driving that policy within the leadership of the current government."

Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Randy Weber (R-TX), and Jeff Duncan (R-SC) filed the resolution on Thursday but it isn't certain that House leaders will bring it to the floor for a vote. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has yet to comment on the resolution.

It looks like Republicans are going to use this opportunity to highlight the divides between the two major parties after a boatload of progressive-led anti-Zionist bile was evident among the Democrats, particularly those members of the so-called "squad."

Two committees linked to "squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and another "squad"-linked and another one linked to the "squad" send thousands of dollars to an anti-Israel/anti-Semitic firm over the past two years, as filings indicate.

Together, these progressive entities combined to send almost $270,000 to Unbought Power LLC, a Florida-based consulting and advocacy firm owned and operated by Rasha Mubarak, a political activist who had openly expressed anti-Israel views on social media platforms.

Another member of the "squad" had also come under strong criticism over past anti-Semitic rhetoric. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, another overt anti-Israel/anti-Semite, has an ongoing problem with her mouth and brain as she has uttered many comments and tropes about Israel and the Jews.

Jayapal's initial blather was quickly rebuked by House Democratic leaders and also in a letter by 43 of her colleagues who called her comments "unacceptable." The resolution to support Israel received wide approval, however even then, nine Democrats voted against it.
