Saturday Quick Thought:  Mamdani, Marxism, and Empty Promises

It’s Saturday! Here’s your quick thought for today: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ticked off New Yorkers once again. This time he vetoed a bill which aimed at combating antisemitism by expanding protest security safeguards for places of education.

In other words, the radical Islamic communist mayor is standing on the side of his fellow travelers.

This will make him very popular with those who were stupid enough to elect him, the foreign-born, the Democrat Elite, and the useful idiots.

The only way I can rationalize this wave of so-called socialist politicians is the fact that they are promising “bread and circuses”. They promise a lot, like Mamdani has, and find their promises to be very hard to fulfill, like the mayor’s promise of free bus rides.

Why are Americans voting for these marxists?

Well, it’s because we have a generation who were taught in school about how glorious Marxism is. They have been programmed to view the government as their mommy, their daddy, and their teddy bear who will make things right if they just hold on to it.

It’s like President Ronald Reagan said,

“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin”. 

Those who have read Marx and Lenin know that Marxism in all its forms relies on the gullibility and desperation of the average man and woman who are looking for some way out of poverty that will not be as slow and arduous as actually working their way out of it and taking responsibility for themselves.

It requires individuals to give up their individual freedom for a life that is run by a huge central government and its backers from cradle to grave.

It also requires men and women to give up their faith in God and themselves and invest it in lying politicians and those who pull their strings behind the scenes.

The problem with all that, is that in World history, Marxism has never worked.

And, our country’s Democrat Elite, “the smartest people in the room”, just ask them, will not be able to make it work either, no matter what the educated-beyond-their-intelligence political pundits tell the masses yearning for an easy life.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is providing an object lesson about the realities of the failed political theory of Marxism.

I only hope that those who have not paid attention to history, pay attention now.

Until He Comes,

Mamdani Makes NYC 250TH July 4th Ball Drop a “Private Event”

In a little less than 3 months, this great country will be celebrating our 250th birthday. There will be special events from coast to coast with Americans celebrating  all the great blessings that this country gives us including our individual freedom.

However, the American public is not invited to one of the most promising celebrations of our country’s birthday.

“A planned Times Square ball drop for America’s 250th birthday is still on — but you’re not invited.

The New Year’s Eve-style event will continue as planned at midnight on July 3, organizers said Tuesday — in the wake of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new emergency order banning hundreds of public celebrations during the FIFA World Cup in the Big Apple.

But in a bizarre statement Tuesday, organizers said the show will go on anyway — without a crowd.” (Courtesy NYPost.com)

What good is a celebration without a crowd? Are we back to the days of covid where we were all forced by the government to quarantine? Well, this isn’t President Trump ordering this, like President Biden did. As mentioned in the above excerpt, this is a result of an executive order by New York City’s Radical Islamic Communist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

But why?

It’s because New York City will be hosting the FIFA World Cup during those dates and the other countries being in the Big Apple and the international attention it brings is more important to Mamdani and his fellow travelers than allowing the public to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Of course, in addition to broadcasting the event, the sponsors are talking about having a special ticketed in person private crowd allowed.

I have two ideas about that: If it is a paid ticket event, it will no doubt be very expensive and meant for New York’s Democrat Elite. If it is a free event, the tickets will be given to the foreign players from the soccer teams participating in the tournament.

This is just another example of why it was a very stupid move for the New York City voters to elect Zohran Mamdani as their Mayor.

The overwhelming majority of Americans would not elect that Radical Islamic Communist to be dog catcher.

Sunday Quick Thought: While Americans Laugh at Mamdani, Muslims Declare Victory in NYC Hijrah

While Americans laughed as Radical Islamic Communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani pleated with New Yorkers to volunteer to shovel snow during the incoming blizzard, a veil lifted as what appeared to be thousands of Muslims took to the streets of New York City to proclaim victory in their takeover of the Big Apple.

On February 7th, I posted the following:

“New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani invoked Islam’s Hijrah — a concept he framed as a religious model for migration — as he rolled out a sanctuary-related executive order Friday, drawing backlash from critics who accused him of using religious doctrine to justify mass migration and shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement.

Mamdani announced the order at his first Interfaith Breakfast at the New York Public Library, accusing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of “visit[ing] terror upon our neighbors,” and likening their presence to riders arriving “atop a pale horse.”

“We will make it clear once again ICE will not be able to enter New York City property without a judicial warrant,” Mamdani said, citing schools, shelters, and hospitals.” (Courtesy Breitbart.com)

What is Hijrah? Per Britannica.com …

“Hijrah, the Prophet Muhammad’s migration (622 ce) from Mecca to Yathrib (Medina) upon invitation in order to escape persecution. After arriving, Muhammad negotiated the Constitution of Medina with the local clans, thereby establishing the Muslim community as a sociopolitical entity for the first time.”

What we are witnessing through the words and actions of New York city Mayor Mamdani is a microcosm of what has happened to Western Europe thanks to the Muslim Invasion brought through migration that has turned the United Kingdom into a country ran by Muslims and is threatening to do the same to other major nations in Europe.

The UK’s “Muslim Problem” is a demonstration as to what happens when a non-indigenous population moves into a country and does not assimilate into the normal traditions and customs of that nation, and, instead, keep their own traditions and laws, separating themselves from the indigenous population in the name of “multiculturalism”, the opposite of the “Melting Pot”, which helped to form the greatest nation on the face of the Earth, the United States of America.

There are now Muslim enclaves in every part of America. What is happening in New York and what has happened in durban, Michigan are harbingers of a very serious problem which has been purposely overlooked by our politicians.

Mass immigration can and is being used as a political weapon.

Those who organize the annual remembrance of the morning 9/11 morning when over 3,000 Americans were massacred by Radical Islams as the Twin Towers fell in New York City, should probably be prepared to be relocated to a small area, if they are allowed to hold the remembrance at all.

The purposely obtuse professional politicians safely looking down from Capitol Hill need to wake up and protect the people whom they are supposed to be serving before it’s too late to do anything about it.

Democrat Elite Throws Hissy Fit Over Capture of Maduro While Venezuelans Celebrate

I hope that you are all having a blessed and restful Sunday so far. Here is your quick thought for today: The operation by the United States Armed Forces, led by the Commander-in-Chief President Donald J Trump, Secretary of War Pete texas, and Joint Chiefs Chairman “Razin” Cane, to carry out a lawful arrest of of Venezuela’s Socialist Dictator/Gang Leader/ Drug Lord Nicolás Maduro was executed flawlessly and the despot and his wife are now in custody in America and will be tried by the Southern District of New York Federal Attorney’s Office.

From the reaction of the Democrat Elite in Washington and hHollywood, you would have thought that they had arrested the Pope.

It was the usual Trump Derangement Syndrome-inspired whining and crying, along with the expected accusations of “regime change”.

Given that the Venezuelan people are celebrating, the reaction the Democrat Elite was interesting to say the least.

Especially interesting was the reaction of the newly sworn-in Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, who defiantly proclaimed that he had already called the president to express his displeasure and called the operation an “act of war”.

Given the fact that there are pictures of this Radical Islamic Socialist Rich Kid with other Radical Islamists and Bernie Sanders and AOC spoke at his Inauguration, this is no big surprise.

Mamdani, like other members of the Democrat Elite, is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg, as the tax-paying citizens of New York City are about to find out.

I am sure that the President of the United States of America, the Leader of the Free World, gave this imbecile’s opinion the weight that it deserved …which is approximately that of a BB in a barrel.

What all these Democrats seem to be oblivious to is the fact that we have been losing 300,000 Americans every year to the illegal drug operation that Maduro was running out of Venezuela and that he had sent his Tren De Aragua gang members into our cities to intimidate, rob, assault, and murder Americans and, of course, sell drugs.

It is very apparent that there is some reason other than their out-of-control Trump Derangement Syndrome that is causing the Democrat Elite to stand up for evil.

Whether it is political corruption involving kickbacks or the immorality and situational ethics brought about by political power, or both, they are plainly not serving the best interests of Americans and must be voted out at first opportunity if we are to be The Shining City upon a Hill that those before us fought and died for to protect.

How Radical Islamic Socialist Zohran Mamdani Won the NYC Mayoral Primary

This past week, as America was watching president Trump’s big beautiful bill be shredded in the Senate leading up to the forced reading of the 946 page bill that is going on right now on the senate floor, something even more heinous and treasonus was going on in the city that never sleeps, New York City.

A Marxist Radical Islamist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America won the Democratic primary for the job of Mayor of that city.

When it happened, some Americans naturally started freaking out, especially the National Democratic Party, who have been denying for years that they have gone so far to the left of the Political Spectrum that they are nothing but useful idiots for both the Marxists and the Radical Islamists who would destroy our Constitutional Republic and turn us into a politboro and proletariat who would be forced to wear burqas and listen to the Islamic Call to Prayer.

You may ask yourself, what’s causing all this?

Well, boys and girls, as the old saying goes, and I paraphrase, “those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.”

In 1949, there was a longshoreman strike in Hawaii, which was influenced by decades of communist influence in paradise.

In 1952, John Wayne made a movie called Big Jim McClain, in which he and Marshall Dillon himself, James Arness, played government agents investigating communist influence in Hawaii.

While the plot was thin, the movie was interesting not only for the stars in it but slso for the fact that the communists used both working class citizens and Upper Crust Society types as useful idiots to attempt to gain control of the island paradise.

Then, in 1954, Senator Joe McCarthy, on behalf of the US Army, held hearings on the infiltration of communism in on government and on Hollywood.

Of course, Tail’Gunner Joe, as he was called, was made fun of as being a kook and evil for putting on trial those esteemed members of our government and Hollywood.

Returning to the present, the reason why avowed radical islamist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Zohran  Mamdani, was able to defeat former Governor Andrew Cuomo and become the Democrat Mayoral Candidate is, as I said before, those who ignore history, or in the case of this generation, never learn it, are doomed to repeat it.

We have a generation whose public school education consisted of popular culture, sexual deviance, and a concentration on what was wrong with America instead of on patriotism, respect for the Founding Fathers and their faith, and the importance of our history.

A coworker of mine from work said in a discussion the other day that the reason the NBA is not as good as it used to be is because the young people playing the game now have no knowledge of those pioneers like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan who played before them.

You can ask one of these teams right now to set up a 2-1-2 zone defense when the other team takes out the ball, and they will look at you like you are an idiot.

If you ask one of those over 400 useful idiots who voted for Mamdani what happened in New York City on September 1st, 1911, they will answer the same way that radical Islamic Somalian Congress person Ilhan Omar phrased it, saying “Some people did something.”, brushing off the worst radical Islamic Terrorist attack on US soil in history in which over 3,000 innocent Americans were slaughtered.

Norman Mattoon Thomas (Nov. 20, 1884 – Dec. 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

Thomas said in a speech he gave in 1944 that,

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

So, here we are.

Karl Marx said that socialism was the next step before communism.

It appears that Sen. “Tail-Gunner Joe” McCarthy may have been on to something.
