Zohran Mamdani Just Announced Plans to Begin Seizing and Redistributing Private Property, Because This Time Socialism Will Be Different, Guys

New York City Mayor, Comrade Zohran Mamdani kicked off his plan to “fix” the city’s affordability crisis with his official housing policy agenda, titled “Block by Block,” under which one of the first priorities is to allow the government to seize property from owners deemed “negligent” and redistribute it to so-called “responsible stewards,” a category that includes anyone from land trusts, nonprofits, or even tenants themselves.

"Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City," Mamdani, a communist who was born in Kampala, Uganda, announced. 

"When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves," he said. 

In other words, despite Mamdani’s claims that this time his own version of socialism will be different, it appears to be heading down the same familiar path, one that students of history expected upon Mamdani's victory, right before they started Googling “Venezuela real estate prices” and “how to flee to Florida.”

Government redistribution of private property, however, is not the only pillar of Mamdani’s “Block by Block” agenda. He has also vowed to fast-track the construction of low-income and government-subsidized housing, while promising to impose price controls on those units that would limit rent to just a quarter of a tenant’s income, because the surest way to create abundant housing is to make it illegal for anyone to actually profit from building it.

One has to wonder if the guy ever took a basic economics class as opposed to majoring in “Karl Marx, the Man, ther Freeloader, the Absent Husband.”

Mamdani ended his “Block by Block” agenda announcement with a unifying, though ironic, speech, praising the city for what it is known for: its iconic skyscrapers, bridges, and museums. They didn't get there via the collective.

Yet those achievements were made possible not because of politicians like Mamdani, but in spite of them, driven largely by private industry and capitalists who somehow managed to get things done before the government decided their buildings were “negligent” for not being run by community land trusts. 

Today, Mamdani’s own agenda still depends on the very economic forces he blasts daily, relying on private wealth to help fund his socialist policy vision—like a man standing on the shoulders of giants while loudly complaining that the giants are too tall and need to be seized for the greater good.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Back in the Ring, Swinging for Asylum and Ducking Uganda

Kilmar Abrego Garcia: a dad, a Minnesota Man, a basic scumcrumpet

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran guy who's been duking it out with Uncle Sam’s immigration machine, is throwing fresh punches. He's gunning for asylum in the U.S. again, while telling the feds to shove their plan to ship him off to Uganda. His counteroffer? Costa Rica, which has apparently rolled out the welcome mat.

Court papers dropped Tuesday say it all: "At 5pm yesterday, Petitioner filed a motion to reopen before an immigration judge pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §1003.23(b)(4)(i), to seek asylum in the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1158." Kilmar's not going down without a fight.

This all comes after ICE nabbed him Monday at one of their facilities. A video making the rounds on X, courtesy of the Department of Homeland Security, caught Kilmar spitting fire, yelling "gobierno corrupto" that's "corrupt government" for those not fluent in the language of shade.

In a filing called "Notice of Fear of Removal to UGANDA," Kilmar didn't hold back, [like when he beats his wife]: "I, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia … hereby state that I fear persecution in UGANDA on account of my race, nationality, political opinion, and membership in a particular social group." 

He's also sweating torture at the hands of Ugandan officials,  or worse, getting ping-ponged back to El Salvador, where he says he's already been through hell. Poor baby.

"I also fear torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official in that country. Finally, I feat [sic] that country will refoul me (re-deport me) to EL SALVADOR, where I also fear persecution on account of the above-mentioned protected grounds and torture by or at the acquiescence of a public official, and where I have been tortured in the past."

Costa Rica, though, that's his pick? They're down to take him, and Kilmar's all in for the Central American vibes over Uganda's uncertainty.

Rewind to earlier this year: Kilmar got the boot to El Salvador after a 2019 immigration judge ruling shot down his asylum bid but gave him a partial win with withholding of removal. Sadly, it didn't stick, though as the U.S. sent him packing. Fast-forward to some legal cage-fighting, and Florida's Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped into the spotlight, declaring Kilmar had "landed in the United States to face justice." Apparently, the U.S. waved an arrest warrant at El Salvador, and they handed him over.

What's he facing? A grand jury slapped him with an indictment earlier this year, charging him with "Conspiracy to Transport Aliens" and "Unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens." Kilmar’s response? A big, bold "not guilty," in spite of his human trafficking antics being seen on video.

Trump wants to deport 'Maryland Man' Abrego Garcia to Uganda

The Trump DOJ is throwing the book at Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gangbanger and illegal immigrant, calling him a "clear danger" who needs to be held accountable. And let me tell you, this guy's not exactly the poster child for the American Dream.

So, here's the deal: Garcia is facing some serious human smuggling charges, and the DOJ and Homeland Security are playing hardball. They allegedly told Garcia's legal team on Friday, "Look, your boy can take a plea deal, or we're shipping him off to Uganda." Not exactly a Carnival cruise destination. 

If he doesn't sign by Monday, ICE is ready to start the deportation process. But, if he plays ball, they might send him to Costa Rica instead. Pina coladas or a one-way ticket to nowhere; tough choice, huh?

Garcia's legal team is crying foul, screaming "coercion" louder than a college kid at a protest rally. But the DOJ isn't having it. They're like, "Coercion? Nah, we're just trying to keep this 'clear danger' away from law-abiding Americans." 

They dropped this gem: "A federal grand jury has charged Abrego Garcia with serious federal crimes … underscoring the clear danger this defendant presents to the community. This defendant can plead guilty and accept responsibility or stand trial before a jury. Either way, we will hold Abrego Garcia accountable and protect the American people." The DOJ’s keeping it coy, though, neither confirming nor denying the Uganda threat. Classic government move, keep 'em guessing.

Now, here's where it gets juicy. The Left tried to spin Garcia as some kind of martyr, a poor "Maryland man" wrongfully deported to El Salvador, where he's supposedly dodging gang threats. Democrat politicians and the legacy media were all in, painting him as a family guy who just got caught in Trump's big, bad deportation machine. But lets not kid ourselves, Garcia's not exactly Mr. Rogers. We're talking alleged MS-13 ties, accusations of sexual misconduct with young girls, and running an illegal alien smuggling ring. He even allegedly hit his wife or baby momma or whatever her pronouns are. 

The DOJ's case hinges on a traffic stop in Putnam County, Tennessee, back on November 30, 2022. Our pal Garcia was cruising in a Chevrolet Suburban with nine other people packed in like sardines. One of them, a 15-year-old kid, wrote his age down for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Daily Wire's Leif Le Mahieu was in the courthouse breaking this down. Homeland Security's Peter Joseph dropped a bombshell: that kid is still missing. "We don’t know right now" if he's okay, Joseph said. Six of the nine in that Suburban were confirmed illegal aliens from places like Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras. This isn't a road trip to Disneyland, folks.

And get this, Garcia was released from jail on Friday and sent back to Maryland to await trial. If he's found guilty, he's staring down 10 years in the slammer and a $250,000 fine for conspiracy to transport aliens, plus another potential 10 years for each illegal he smuggled. That's a lot of time to think about his life choices.

So, there you have it: the Left tried to make this guy a saint, but the facts paint a different picture. Another day, another dollar, another story the mainstream media won’t touch with a ten-foot pole. Change my mind.

Twitter's self-awareness is that of a cactus

You've heard the overused term 'you can't make this stuff up.' Well Twitter has people saying that and it shows the social media giant's total lack of self-awareness to the point it makes you laugh and be angry simultaneously.

The statement Twitter made regarding the Ugandan election, just prior to permanently banning President Trump from its platform, is almost too hypocritical to believe, but they meant what they pontificated to the African nation, optics be damned.

Here's the story: just days after Twitter permanently banning President Donald Trump from its platform, Twitter posted their thoughts about "freedom of expression" and "access to information" regarding the Ugandan election. Normal people who read the post either laughed at the hypocrisy or were amazed at Twitter having the balls to pontificate about the exact thing they are guilty of doing to the President of the United States of America.

The post stated:

"Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps," Twitter Public Policy began. "We strongly condemn internet shutdowns — they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet."

But not so much for President Trump and a bunch of conservatives with different political and cultural views.

Twitter Public Policy next added: 

"Earlier this week, in close coordination with our peers, we suspended a number of accounts targeting the election in Uganda. If we can attribute any of this activity to state-backed actors, we will disclose to our archive of information operations."  

Then came the the incredible, blatant hypocrisy: 

"Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections."

Huh? Are you freaking kidding us?

When leaders from Germany, France and Mexico condemn banning Trump from social media, all leaders who are not fond of Trump, you know there's a "freedom problem" in the United States.

The anti-American values of the far-left didn't see it as a problem but they're too stupid to see that their loss of freedom will soon come for them.

Many normal people hit back at Twitter for what they said about the Ugandan election:

"Are there no mirrors at Twitter?" TheBlaze's Jessica O'Donnell asked. 

"High comedy!" conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza exclaimed. "You can't make this stuff up."

My personal favorite:

"Twitter's like: 'Don't restrict people's speech, that's our job,'" another user said.

So Twitter shuts down the New York Post for a story they don't want going public, then bans prominent conservatives and President Donald Trump from their platform, and think they own the moral high ground to lecture Uganda?

If you don't see the unintentional humor in Twitter's virtue signaling, you need to pay closer attention. I will continue posting Brain Flushings on Twitter, at least until they ban all conservative narratives. Perhaps you'll subscribe to this blog and others as you see fit. I really hope you will because it's only a matter of time when the voices on the right will be hard to hear.

Uganda Hussein Obama

Kony and Crew

President Obama is sending troops, once more in harm`s way, to Uganda. He said he wouldn`t send troops to fight in Libya, but Uganda is okay, because, according to him, these are special forces that will only be there for a month, and it`s a humanitarian mission. The key difference from Libya, is that Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord`s Resistance Army, only has a few hundred troops and thus, the scale is much smaller. He is alleged to commit murder, rape, and sex slavery of the Ugandese and the troops are to be used to train them to use resist this army.     

To his credit, Obama is reacting to a humanitarian need in this African nation. People are at the mercy of the merciless militant and people are dying.  Children are recruited by Kony and made to kill their own parents--if they refuse, they are themselves, mutilated. This level of brutality is very similar to what eventuated in Iraq and Saddam Hussein (as in Barack's middle name, coincidentally, being he is non-Muslim unlikeSaddam). While the left kept screaming how W was Hitleresque, Obama is seen as more MLKesque. The unfortunate use of these types of comparisons, calling Bush a Hitler, diminishes the atrocities Hitler committed. It is a perverse, somewhat promiscuous use of language and I hope it stops.

Soddam Insane

Did the left ever consider the fact that, while no weapons of mass destruction were immediately found in Iraq, the one weapon of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein, was eventually found. Did the left forget what this monster did to his own people and the Kurds? Did they consider the horrors of his regime? But nothing Bush did was ever good. He was the embodiment of evil. According to the liberals, Bush was Hitler with a twang.

So let's support Obama's decision with Uganda, but let's keep the pressure going, to get every sane person you know of voting age, to make him a one-term wonder.  It makes you wonder why anyone ever voted for someone they never really knew.
