Bill Clinton and Chuck Schumer endorsed the Marxist. It proves my thesis, Dems will partner with Marxists. They don't understand that their party has been eaten by Marxists. They are already out of power. Also proves Dems don't care about people---just power. AND proves even more that the Dems are now firmly a FAR LEFT party....Bill Ayers won the day there.
No matter how often you warn them, some children need to touch the hot stove. There will be loud crying in NYC for the next four years. Then a new group of children will come along and touch the hot stove again. There is no hope for these blue cities.
Let's just hope Trump's administration and the next one remember to tell NYC to "Drop Dead" when they come for bail-outs. I would like to see sterner strictness in keeping tax dollars from *outside* these insane asylums from keeping them afloat to grift another day. Awesome if all of the sane people flee. Not so awesome if the crazies flee and start blue-hell-holing other places. North Carolina is being drowned in totally unrepentant refugees from blue states, and we already had enough trouble against Dem machine politics and supine country-club Rs.
North Carolina Republicans should have done a better job vetting their gubernatorial candidate, but wound up with a lunatic who deserved to lose. The refugees from the blue states seem to be picking their point of refuge based on how they view their potential landing spots. Blue-voting refugees do not seem to have flooded either Florida or Texas; they got the refugees who understand the politics that caused them to flee, and the hard-core Woke avoid these states. In contrast, North Carolina looks like fertile ground to the wave of Woke locusts fleeing the blue states they’ve already wrecked.
Keep an eye on the TX legislature, friend. And agree to disagree on Mark Robinson. His blood, sweat, and tears in Western NC while Stein starved red counties of life-saving help tells a very different tale.
I don't know which public unions control NYC, but this feels like the Chicago playbook. CTU installed Brandon Johnson with their money and foot soldiers (and gullible parents), and I'm guessing something similar happened here.
It's going to get ugly, because he will also be giving blowout contracts to all of the public unions there.
Their secret hope is that they will get bailed out at the state level, and if that doesn't happen, they will get a federal bailout. That's why they fight so hard at the federal level.
My favorite part of this clusterf**k is that <quote>Zohran Mamdani doing extremely well with college-educated voters, while the working-class overwhelmingly rejects him</quote>
I just can't stop laughing and laughing at the prospect of NYC owned grocery stores. A startup grocery chain in an urban environment? What could possibly go wrong?
John Mackey, founder of Whole Foods, was an Austin guy and built that company from a single store on Lamar Blvd to whatever gigantic size it was when he sold to Amazon who waited for the stock price to fall by half before giving them the bear hug.
He used to explain the lousy margins in that business and his margins were 2X the competitors.
That is the worst idea I have heard in politics in 50 years of following the racket.
I had an in-lawy type distant relative who was a Kraut tank commander in WWII. He was captured by the Russians near the end of the war and was repatriated in 1969.
Yep, a Russian POW from 1944 until 1969 -- a quarter of a bloody century.
He learned to speak Russian and was quite successful as a mechanical engineer for them. The stories he would tell about how Communism works were unbelievable. He had lived it.
The Orcs captured/disabled a lot of Kraut tanks during the war and dismantled them for parts. Then they used the parts to re-assemble them into working units.
In some instances a tank required a fairly small repair, but they insisted on dismantling the entire tank and then rebuilding it.
Communism/socialism/fascism all suck the life from one's soul.
New York City will go bankrupt again. They elected a Republican before, they can do it again and if they don't elect Curtis Sliwa the founder of Guardian Angels and Republican candidate, they are doomed.
New York may look more like Brussels or London than it's former self in 18 to 24 months.
The upper middle class and wealthy migration southward from northern liberal states and big cities is about to exponentially grow.
It's amazing. NYC has a population of 8mln, with 5.15mln registered voters, of whom 3.42mln are democrats. Remarkably, only 529,000 in the entire city are registered republicans. Zohran the Red got fewer than 500,000 votes (with 92% of precincts reporting.) That's only 14.6% of registered dem voters. Shows that a good ground game in an apathetic district is the key. Cuomo hardly stepped foot in the city, despite the big bucks he got from folks like Bloomberg. AOC, meanwhile, won her district with fewer than 16% of registered voters.
Sounds ripe for class warfare and racial id politics on a precinct by precinct level. Maybe we shouldn't count Adams out. Seems like a lot of room to run for the right campaign, if Adams is smart enough to plan it out.
Less a guess than a sure thing. So, as imperfect as the Rs are, America needs to work superhumanly to keep the Ds out. (The Rs might cave, but the Ds certainly will.) We can't count on the Batshite Crazy phase to last forever; at least some Ds will strive to reclaim crazy like a rabid fox, sooner or later, alas. They will remain very dangerous to American values and American prosperity a long time, if not forever (as long as they exist).

PS I'm using extremely dry gallows humor
If Mamdani goes on to win the general election in NYC (which seems likely) it will be sad for NYC, but should we really be surprised?
It’s more than a blip. NYC, LA, and Chicago all run by socialists/Marxists!
Eees good, comrade, non?
Maybe there will be deals on borscht….
Well, with the "city-owned" grocery stores you very well may have that borscht!
There will be a line for bread, a line for soup...
"Everybody gets 1! You get 2 if you have papers showing your dependents..."

Here in south Florida we have Venezuelans, Cubans and Russians.
While most of us studied economics and understand the danger of socialism, these people lived it !
The fools always think they’ll take from the rich and give to the poor, and don’t realize that the rich move, and the benefits never materialize.
The elitists think they’ll get it right, because they’re messianic.
Bonds, real estate, and then tax revenue will tumble like dominoes.
I agree more with you than you do with yourself.

Where will the big exchanges move to? Miami, or Dallas?
Dallas. No hurricanes

The problem w NYC is that the "haves" can go a little way to Connecticut or a long way to Florida/Texas to escape NYC.
Sure NYC can put some little annoyance taxes on folks, but the people are going to leave in droves (100-500 head of cattle).
The other problem is the smartest and most productive leave first.
NYC will absolutely go bankrupt and it will not be a short period of time.

Short NYC munibonds.....if there is a bid.

Gooder and harder NYC! Lol. 🤡🌎🐂💩
I really like the NYC muni angle, but apparently this newest candidate of DemoCommie insanity is a multi-faceted disaster (for example, https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/06/25/new-york-city-just-chose-to-destroy-itself-and-its-time-to-let-it-happen-n2190880).
He's in. Clinton and Schumer endorsed today. See my comment above.
