New York's East Village voted for Comrade Mamdani by 70%, now suing him

Comrade Mamdani

Leftists sometimes [however rarely] experience the misery that their cherished policies inflict on the rest of us in a direct manner. That's happening right now in the East Village, where they voted in massive numbers for the Marxist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, only to have him decide that they would be among the first to be punished. 

Mamdani’s fellow Twelver Shi’ite, the Ayatollah Khomeini, also allied with the Communists, only to imprison and kill them after he took power. Now Mamdani wants to inflict violent and criminal homeless people on the affluent leftists of the East Village. 

The idea is to demoralize and threaten them until they will support the authoritarian policies that are the heart and center of leftism. Well, it could not happen to a nicer bunch, but they are just toward the beginning of the line. There will be many more victims to come. As H.L. Mencken said in "A Little Book in C Major (1916): "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

East Village residents who voted for New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani by a 40-point margin are now suing to stop a building in their neighborhood from becoming a temporary homeless shelter.

The lawsuit, filed with the New York City Supreme Court on Monday, shows hesitation even among Mamdani supporters about the cost of implementing some of his plans.

News of the lawsuit has prompted conservative mockery online, with figures like Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-TX) noting the irony of Mamdani’s supporters turning on the fruits of his administration.

“Oops,” Sen. Ted Cruz said in a post to X.

“No one is more ‘not in my backyard’ than white progressives. This community voted for Mamdani in a landslide but don’t want to live with the consequences,” Michael Henry, a former New York attorney general candidate, wrote on social media.“Not shocked,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said in a post.

Election District 45, the area that includes East Village, voted for Mamdani in a 70.1% victory over independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, who garnered just 26.0% of the vote. It was one of those "hold your nose and vote" situations with these choices.

Even so, 10 residents joined the Village Organization for the Integrity of Community Engagement (VOICE) in their suit against the city after Mamdani announced plans earlier this year to turn a building at 8 East 3rd Street into a citywide intake shelter to house homeless adult men.

The filing argues the city fast-tracked the process without proper environmental and legal safeguards.

Can I get an Allahu akbar!

Kamala 'does a Hillary' to pander to y'all Black folk with fake southern accent

"I got me my hot sauce and I ain't no way tired, hahahahahahahaha"

Undercover POTUS Kamala Harris is hardly a Black woman from down south. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who passed away from colon cancer in 2009, was Indian,  born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, [where my wife is from, by the way] and came to the US in 1958 and earned a PhD in nutrition and endocrinology.

Harris' father, Donald Jasper Harris, is from Brown's Town, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. He holds a PhD in economics and married Shyamala in 1963. The couple had two daughters, Kamala and Maya. The couple divorced when Kamala was seven years old. Donald wrote an essay in 2018 about his family lineage including slave owner Hamilton Brown, as his ancestor. 

But to hear Kamala Harris during a speech  in Atlanta, you would think she was a Black lady from down south. It's obvious that she, like Hillary Rotten Clinton, will pander to anyone to get their vote.

"You all helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024," Harris, who is from California, told Atlanta rally goers while seemingly trying out a new and unconvincing accent. 

She was immediately blasted on social media for her pandering.

"Kamala Harris went to speak in Atlanta and now has a southern accent,"  Clay Travis OutKick founder wrote on X. "Why do people do this? It’s just so transparently fake.

"Do people do this with any other regional accents?" Travis questioned in a subsequent post. "I don’t think so. No one goes to Massachusetts and suddenly talks like a Kennedy. It’s only the South."

Travis’ post garnered several replies from critics of the vice president’s accent.

"It's what sociopaths do," one reply said.

"It’s called mirroring and it is a strong narcissistic tendency," another person said.

The moment also caught the attention of conservative columnist Ian Haworth.

"Kamala Harris’s fake southern accent puts Hillary Clinton to shame," Haworth said on X, referencing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s widely mocked use of a southern accent at various stages of her career in politics.


Harris will do anything, and now we know she will say anything, to gain more political power. If she wins in November, the United States will have a far-left lunatic who is not very bright, running the country . . . into the ground.

It was H. L. Mencken who said, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

This perfectly characterizes where America now stands. If Donald J. Trump fails to defeat the daughter of Donald J. Harris in November, it will be a true disaster.
