Already Mamdani Proclaims “Budget Crisis of a Historic Magnitude”

Posted on by

That didn’t take long. Socialist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani took office at the beginning of the year after running on a platform of freebies for moochers. He didn’t even make to May Day without declaring “a budget crisis of a historic magnitude.”

Predictably, Mamdani says his predecessors are to blame and wants the rest of the state to bail out NYC. Here he is with City Council Speaker Julie Menin:

The previous mayor responds to Mamdani’s backward buck-passing — via WNBC:

[Eric] Adams slammed Mamdani’s socialist views in his response, saying, “Free is a lie.” The former mayor also said earlier this year that he left the city with $8 billion in reserves.

Meanwhile, Mamdani wastes $millions studying “racial inequity” in preparation to impose reparations.

If Democrats take control in Washington, it won’t be Albany that finances Mamdani’s perpetual looting spree. It will be the whole country, paid for through higher taxes and inflation.

North Carolina Schools to Close on Communist Holiday So That Agitators Can Agitate

Posted on by

May Day is the traditional communist holiday. The Soviet Union marked it with massive parades. Today the communist threat comes not from Russia but from institutions subverted by Marxists within our own country. This report from North Carolina’s News & Observer comes as no surprise:

Several school districts have canceled classes on May 1 because so many teachers have requested the day off to join a mass protest in Raleigh organized by the North Carolina Association of Educators.

For example,

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board voted Friday [to] make May 1 an optional teacher workday for traditional-calendar schools because 2,622 teachers had requested the day off.

At least nine North Carolina school districts will close schools on May 1 because leftist agitators will be too busy agitating to indoctrinate children. They want the government to take more money from others and give it to them.

Barks NCAE President Tamika Walker Kelly:

“We will not back down when it comes to ensuring our children receive the education they need and deserve.”

Apparently this is accomplished not by showing up to teach but by taking to the streets to wave placards and shout demands.

The rally in Raleigh is entitled “Kids Over Corporations,” combining the usual “for the children” posturing with more straightforward Marxist hostility to economic freedom. Echoing the communist Bernie Sanders, the website for the rally demands that “billionaires and corporations pay their fair share.” It ominously promises to “Reclaim Our Democracy.” “Our Democracy” is Liberalese for leftist rule.

Tamika Walker Kelly makes her case for squeezing “corporations and the wealthy”:

Mamdani: Billionaires Should Not Exist

Posted on by

Considering how his fellow Marxists treated kulaks in Russia and landlords in China, it looks like Zohran Mamdani has slated billionaires for liquidation. He says they should not exist:

Even after they get rid of billionaires, equity will still not have been achieved. So progressives will have to go after multimillionaires like Mamdani’s parents. But still some people will have more than others. Eventually it will be thousandaires who should not exist, and then hundredaires.

Mamdani’s $30 Million Socialist Grocery Store

Posted on by

Under Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, government had control of the food supply. Either through social engineering (Mao) or as a deliberate political tactic (Stalin), this resulted in the most prominent feature of communism: mass starvation. Sharing their ideology, Democrats like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani would lead us in this direction.

The New York Post reports:

Mamdani’s first-unveiled city-owned grocery store will cost a staggering $30 million to build from the ground up at East Harlem’s longstanding La Marqueta, officials confirmed – as local grocers worried it’d gobble up their business.

How can free market grocers compete with stores that can sell at loss, will probably permit shoplifting, and do not have to pay rent or taxes?

Putting them out of business is not a bug but a feature. It advances the progressive goal of imposing communism by increments so that people do not push back until it is too late.

Mamdani has proposed spending $70 million in taxpayer money for constructing his envisioned five city-owned grocery stores.

As with all Democrat spending, the actual cost will be much higher. Consider Gavin Newsom’s Bridge to Nowhere and still more wasteful Bullet Train to Nowhere.

Mamdani admits that NYC is already “worse than broke.” As he runs out of other people’s money, his Marxist grocery stores will go under, as in Kansas City.

Alternatively, Democrats could take control of the federal government and perpetually bail out NYC. Socialist spending might continue unabated until the whole country goes bankrupt.

Wall Street Begins to Vacate New York

Posted on by

What they did to our formerly wealthiest city Detroit, moonbats are now inflicting on New York. The death of Wall Street is already underway.

The New York Post reports:

Apollo Global Management, a $900 billion asset manager, is plotting a second US headquarters in the Sunbelt…

Apollo expects most of its future hiring to be in the second hub rather than Manhattan, according to a statement from the firm.

The new location will probably be in either Texas or Florida.

Florida has already lured heavyweights like Citadel and Elliott Management, while Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are hunkering down in Texas.

Here’s why Apollo is ready to move on:

[Mamdani] has pushed Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers to increase the corporate tax and hike taxes on rich — and he’s even threatened to up the city property taxes 9.5% if the state doesn’t act.

Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism” will be cold comfort to those left behind in New York when there is no wealth left to confiscate.

On the positive side, Manhattan real estate will become more affordable. You can buy a house for $50 in some parts of Detroit.

Rich Leftists Stage Ugly No Kings Astroturfery

Posted on by

The ultra-left threw another tantrum yesterday, with thousands of No Kings spectacles staged throughout the country. Unsurprisingly, given that the appeal is to lowlifes, some turned violent.

The New York Post reports:

No Kings demonstrations in Portland, Oregon got out of hand in the evening with protesters sporting gas masks attacking police officers who were trying to control the crowd, according to video posted on X by FreedomNews.tv.

The video:

Elsewhere on the Left Coast,

A large mob of demonstrators waving Palestinian and other flags hurled cement blocks towards Department of Homeland Security agents in Los Angeles. … Protesters violently resisted arrests from LAPD cops…

As a recent election indicates, not even Trump’s home is safe from societal decay:

Outside Mar-A-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla., female protesters lifted up their shirts Saturday as counterdemonstrators peppered them with insults including “w–re mongers” and “butch d–es.”

They aren’t hiding the ball anymore:

A group of demonstrators waving red hammer and sickle flags chanted “there is only one solution communist revolution” outside Times Square.

Although there is no shortage of unhinged moonbats bred by the Democrat-dominated media and education establishments, No Kings productions are pure astroturf. Fox News reports:

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

You’ll never guess who put up money:

According to a copy of the permit for the “flagship” march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

Soros & Son are not the only evil zillionaires financing the intended ruin of America:

Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.

The regime in China is a totalitarian communist dictatorship that has killed over 70 million of its own people since Mao Zedong founded it, providing an ideal for American progressives to progress toward.

Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics and frequently collaborate in protest campaigns, including the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham. These groups work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

Communist cells of this type throughout the country were involved in staging the No Kings nonsense.

The network’s messaging for the #NoKings echoes Singham’s own rhetoric describing the United States as a form of “fascism” and advocating organizing strategies rooted in Mao Zedong’s doctrine of a “People’s War,” which calls for revolutionary movements to embed themselves inside broader political struggles and radicalize them from within.

Wealthy Hollyweirdos and pop music posturers were glad to lend a hand. The flagship rally in Saint Paul featured Jane Fonda and Bruce Springsteen. Also featured were Bernie Sanders, Tim Walz, and Ilham Omar — all prominent figures in Democratic politics.

Robert DeNiro took part in New York, shuffling along in a woke parade between hate hoaxer Al Sharpton and the odious Letitia James. He made a speech during which it appeared he can no longer remember his lines:

DeNiro isn’t the only senior citizen in the grip of this juvenile ideology. Mind your ears as a woman old enough to know better wallows in delusions and foul language before announcing her plan to participate in No Kings moonbattery:

These are not people you want to be ruled by.
