Photo of Mamdani infuriates some Italian-Americans in NYC and outrage from key voting bloc.

Mamdani gives middle finger to Christopher Columbus statue

New York City’s mayoral race just got spicier than a bodega hot sausage. A resurfaced photo of Democrat/Communist candidate Zohran Mamdani giving the one-finger salute to a Christopher Columbus statue in Astoria is lighting up the internet and pissing off Italian-Americans like it’s 1492 all over again. 

Back in June 2020, Mamdani dropped this gem on social media: "Take it down," alongside a shot of what’s gotta be his gloved hand flipping off the Italian explorer’s statue.  Around the same time, this guy’s out here polling his followers on who should replace Columbus, tossing out names like "Tony Bennett (Astoria native, music icon), Walter Audisio (Communist partisan, killed Mussolini), Sacco & Vanzetti (Executed due to anti-Italian sentiment)." Guess who won? Sacco and Vanzetti, the anarcho-communist duo executed in ’27. Shocker.

Some Italians are as angry as a bag of cobras, per the New York Post. 

Columbus Heritage Coalition President Angelo Vivolo came out swinging: "We will defend Columbus Day and Columbus statues." He added, "He is being disrespectful to the Italian American community. If you offend one community, you offend all communities." Damn straight, Angelo. You should hear what this POS says about Israel.

Joseph Scelsa, bigwig at the Italian American Museum, chimed in, pointing out that Italians make up 8% of NYC’s population. "To eliminate such a large population of people would be a travesty," he said. "It’s not inclusive. It’s exclusionary. Who’s to say who is a hero and who is not a hero? Columbus is our hero." 

Preach, Joe. Don’t let some wannabe revolutionary erase your history.The conservative X crowd’s also losing their minds. Actor Joe Piscopo kept it short: "Not gonna happen." YouTuber Joey Salads went harder: "This guy needs to be stopped." Journalist Megan Basham nailed it: "The most defining characteristic of the left is ingratitude." Former Trump official Ezra A. Cohen didn’t hold back: "He disrespects the critical role Italians and Catholics played in the founding of our nation. Shameful." Florida GOP Chair Evan Power? Straight to the point: "What a disgusting socialist."

Did I mention Mamdani is a equal opportunity hater?

Then there’s the heavy hitters. Mike Benz, Foundation for Freedom Online exec, went nuclear: "so u can be a nepo baby anchor baby who's never had a job in your life and potentially become mayor of America's largest city simply on the force of hating white people hard enough." 

Federalist CEO Sean Davis? No mercy: "This communist clown needs to be sent back."

What this really goes to show is that Mamdani is not very bright. That is, he isn't smart enough to hide his anti-American, anti-Zionist/Semitic hatred.

He is also a liar having alleged on his Columbia U. application that he is half-Black as well as half-Asian. The truth is both his parents are from India and while he was born in Kampala, Uganda, that doesn't make him Black. He is Asian but thought if he lied, he would stand a better chance getting into Columbia, but his SAT score wasn't high enough and he failed to get in.

Mamdani's post is still up on his X as of Tuesday morning, so he’s clearly not sweating it. This dude, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, already shook up the game by snagging the Democratic primary last month, despite a platform that’s basically a love letter to left-wing fever dreams, including past calls to defund the police. 

Now he’s gearing up to slug it out in November’s general election against heavyweights like Mayor Eric Adams (running independent), GOP’s Curtis Sliwa, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Hopefully the latter two candidates will have the wisdom to bow out and allow Adams a better chance to beat this weasel.

Muslims Discovered America, According to a Muslim

Did you know that Muslims, not Christopher Columbus, discovered the Americas? Neither did I, but in a posting by Fox News, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan makes the claim that Muslim sailors reached the Americas more than 300 years before the Christian, Christopher Columbus.

According to several Muslims I know, they also discovered the Salk vaccine (only they call it the Mohammad vaccine), mathematics, chess and the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa (only they ain't sayin'). But Erdogan speaking to Muslim leaders from Latin America said that Islam and Latin America have been doing the Guapacha since the 12th Century. The Mohammad vaccine came later.

"In his memoirs, Christopher Columbus mentions the existence of a mosque atop a hill on the coast of Cuba," the Turkish imperialist said, and also added that he's like to see a mosque built on that hilltop today (since those Jews tore down the original one, I bet he thinks).

There have been scholars who have disputed the claims made in Columbus' writings that say there is no hard, archaeological evidence that Muslims have lived in the Americas prior to ole Chris.

Fox News acknowledges that the credit for America's discovery has been an ongoing controversy with many scholars. But Muslims take credit for many things that they cannot prove ownership of discovery and I am as skeptical of them in this case as I have been about Obamacare in its inception.
