Communist NYC mayoral candidate wisked off stage to avoid reporter's questions

Communist mayoral nominee running on the Democrat ticket, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old anti-Semite, was at an endorsement event when things went full-on sitcom. 

Picture this: he’s trying to field a reporter’s question, probably something about his latest socialist utopia pitch, when the band cranks up "When the Saints Go Marching In" like they’re auditioning for a Mardi Gras float. An aide, clearly done with the whole thing, grabs his arm and yanks him offstage like he’s Joe Biden at an Easter egg roll. "I think we’re done here. We’re going to go. Come on. We’re wrapping up, folks. Sorry folks. We’re wrapping up," the campaign staffers barked, as if they were herding cats at a vegan barbecue.

This glorious moment of chaos went down Monday at an event where Mamdani was basking in the glow of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802’s endorsement. 

He was fielding questions about former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s stubborn refusal to exit the mayoral race as an independent (because nothing screams "I’m still relevant" like a third-party pipe dream from a guy who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents) and his upcoming sit-down with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. 

But 20 minutes in, the campaign crew decided it was time to pull the plug before Mamdani could wax poetic about what he's really planning: his democratic socialist vision. He stood there, grinning like a kid who just got caught sneaking candy, trying to hear the reporters over the band’s jazzy assault and his aides’ chorus of "let’s go already."

Mamdani’s been burning rubber on the campaign trail since clinching the Democratic nomination last month. He’s been racking up endorsements like they’re Pokémon cards: United Federation of Teachers, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and, oh, look, a Wednesday shindig planned with everyone’s favorite progressive firebrand, Sandy Cortez, who’s been stumping for him since before his primary win. Because nothing says "New York City mayor" like a D.C. photo-op with AOC, right?

And then there’s this meeting with Jeffries, which Mamdani’s hyping like it’s the Super Bowl of Brooklyn pow-wows. "I’m looking forward to that meeting with Congressman Jeffries," he said, before tossing in, "I’m looking forward to being a partner to Congressman Jeffries in winning back the House and continuing to fight back against Donald Trump’s agenda, and in delivering, at the same time, for New Yorkers across the five boroughs." 

Yes, Jeffries is ready to sip the progressive Kool-Aid while pretending he can play nice with the establishment. By the way, he hasn’t endorsed him yet, probably because he’s still trying to figure out if Mamdani’s campaign is a revolution or a reality show.

So there you have it: Mamdani’s campaign is a whirlwind of endorsements, awkward Biden-like stage exits, and a band that knows how to drown out the press. 

Good luck, New York. You're going to need it.

An incompetent Democrat wants to replace an incompetent Democrat as NYC Mayor

Senior citizen Covid-19 killer, sexual harassment perpetrator, and disgraced Democrat Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo has been covertly checking out his chances of taking the current incompetent Democratic Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams' job. 

Adams' approval rating is slightly lower than whale poop and his chances of reelection chances aren't very good so Cuomo wants to know what his chances are should Adams crash and burn. Even more, Adams' office is under investigation for having ties to the Turkish government, as reported in the New York Post.

Adams has not been accused of wrongdoing in the probe, and told the Post, “Let the process carry out . . . That is what’s great about our country. There is a due process system in place.”

So now that things in New York have cooled down since Cuomo resigned in 2021 and the #MeToo movement has become a joke,  the former governor hopes for a shot at running the same city where he sent thousands of elderly nursing home residents to their graves, and even wrote a self-congratulatory book about it, but with a different spin.

A person from the NY Post's "Page Six" saw Cuomo having dinner with Andrew Stein at Caravaggio on the Upper East Side. Stein, who once ran for the same position but failed, is a veteran New York City politician. The newspaper called Stein about the get together and told them, “I think Andrew would be a really good mayor. He’s experienced, and New York really needs someone like that right now.”

Yes, he could be instrumental at making room for arriving illegal aliens by getting disgusted New Yorkers to leave the city and head for a red state.

By the way, Cuomo has denied all of the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him. He also said that he supports the mayor, but his lips were moving.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams keeps NYPD budget status quo

Newly elected Democratic NYC Mayor Eric Adams in his first proposed budget has cut funding in several areas and has left the NYPD budget flat. He ran on a pro-law enforcement platform and even proposed an increase in the police budget, but now that he has been elected, he evidently feels that he can lie about his vow and do whatever he damn well pleases because he's "sick and tired" of everyone with differing opinions.

One thing Adams has done, however, is to shift some desk cops to the mean, littered crime-infested streets of the city.

“We’re going to redeploy our manpower," the sexist mayor began totally disregarding 'womenpower', which even autocorrect does not allow as a word. "We’re going to make sure that everyone who is supposed to be on the streets doing their job is doing their job, and then we will make the analysis if we have to put more money into it,” Adams said at a news conference Wednesday, according to former newspaper, The New York Times.

In order to help the city run more efficiently, 10,000 municipal workers have been cut through attrition and unfilled openings, as well as 1,430 being fired for not putting an untested vaccine in their bodies.

Adams' new budget will require the majority of city agencies to cut their budgets by 3 percent while inflation has risen around 7 percent. Makes perfect sense is you're Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose.

The Department of Corrections and the Health Department are exempt from the cuts

“I’m not going to do anything that’s going to get in the way of keeping New Yorkers safe,” Adams, a former police captain himself, said angrily.

Earlier this month, alleged President Biden wandered into New York City and mush-mouthed his support for the mayor's effort to fight increasing instances of angry guns in the city.

“Mayor Adams, you and I agree, the answer is not to abandon our streets, that’s not the answer,” Biden mumbled. "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind. Like in Chicago, the "Windy City."

De Blasio, the Socialist Sellout

Socialist and New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, has rescinded on an agreement for the city to share space with four public charter schools. Harlem Success 4 is one of these schools and the move screws over educators and about 700 students and their parents. Eva Moskowitz is the CEO of the Success Academy Network and calls this decision "the saddest day in Success Academy history." Ms. Moskowitz is a former councilwoman and is de Blasio's political adversary.

Instead of honoring Mayor Bloomberg's decision to work with these schools, de Blasio pulled "an Obama," and exacted retribution from his enemy. Seventeen schools were promised free space in public school buildings last October, but not anymore. Good job Billy; you kissed up to the United Federation of Teachers better than most, and they supported you completely.

Charter schools have historically outperformed traditional public schools, especially in reading and math, two subjects de Blasio evidently never studied.

 But you've always hated charter schools because they couldn't do anything for you politically; they could only help kids academically. The Harlem Success 4 charter school is a perfect example of that, with an amazing success rate by kids who otherwise were at risk.

Although charter schools receive taxpayer funding for operating expenses, they are managed privately and do not get funded to build or lease their facilities. De Blasio couldn't care less.

"Explaining to students and families that they won't have a school next year is the most heartbreaking thing I've done at Success Academies," Moskowitz said in a statement. "No parent should have to go through this."

Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week said, "This extreme action puts de Blasio, a progressive Democrat, at odds with not only President Obama, but most charter-supporting mayors and governors across the country."

Nina Rees, CEO of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, called de Blasio's decision, "outrageous." I call it cruel, uncaring, and distinctly progressive Democratic.

You can look for the union label for all of de Blasio's decisions.
