Take the nuclear option: Let Mamdani win
the mayoral race so NYC can start over
from scratch
Posted By: Mercedes44, 9/7/2025 2:18:08 AM
As alarm bells ring over the New York City mayoral race, an odd sentiment is starting to gain traction across the business community: Just give up. Just sit tight and let the ill-equipped Maoist Zohran Mamdani win in November. Let him unleash his creepy, dogmatic socialist policies on the masses to teach them valuable lessons — both economic and cultural — about wokeness and progressivism, and more broadly its stranglehold on the Democratic Party. I’m starting to agree. Let the city sink into the abyss. Let Mamdani’s policies force out business and prod more upper- and middle-class residents to flee. Let the city declare bankruptcy — which will happen if Mamdani gets his way.

The Metropolitan Police has said 890 people were arrested at a protest against the banning of Palestine Action as a terror group on Saturday - including 17 on suspicion of assaulting officers.
A total of 857 individuals were arrested in Parliament Square in London under the Terrorism Act 2000 over alleged offences, the force said.It added that a further 33 were arrested for other offences, with 17 of those detained on suspicion of assaulting officers. The Met Police did not say what the other 16 arrests were for.
There are some really serious acts of gender-based violence being committed against women in Great Britain today. Take the horrendous case of Paloma Faith, who appears to be both some kind of singer, and some kind of self-appointed campaigner for women’s rights. In her tell-all memoir, released last year, Paloma revealed an appalling example of abuse at the hands of a fellow celebrity judging panellist on TV caterwauling contest The Voice UK, who violently raped her, live on television, before an applauding audience of millions and millions of evil sexist white men.
Hounded out of Britain for believing that biological sex is real, Graham Linehan has fled to Arizona and is now seeking asylum in the US as a “free speech refugee”. The Mail has the story.
Earlier this week… he was dramatically arrested by five armed police officers at Heathrow and treated like ‘a terrorist’ hauled off to a cell. His crime? For three social media posts while living in the US.Irish-born Linehan, 57, who spent 30 years living in the UK, was returning… to face trial after being accused of harassing a transgender woman with abusive comments and damaging her phone.
Trump’s New War Production Board?
0 replies
The left weighs in on anything that Trump is against, which drives it to lionize criminals like Abrego Garcia, champion open borders, and oppose increased oil and natural gas production. And they are against anything Trump is for. So often, they did not care much about big-city crime rates, supported biological men’s usurpation of women’s sports, and opposed taking out the Iranian nuclear threat.
However, recently, some former and, no doubt, current Trump opponents now seem to support both what Trump is for and what he is against—at least in a few areas. So this past week, Donald Trump hosted some of the richest,
Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East, experts said Sunday, though it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the incident.
There has been concern about the cables being targeted in a Red Sea campaign by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the Houthis have denied attacking the lines in the past.
Undersea cables are one of the backbones of the internet, along with satellite connections and land-based cables. Typically, internet service providers have multiple access points and reroute traffic if one fails,
In a highly rare exercise of wartime legal restraint, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled Sunday that the Israeli government has deprived Palestinian detainees of even a minimum subsistence diet and ordered authorities to increase the amount and improve the quality of food served to deprived Palestinian inmates.
Although it’s the job of the Supreme Court to advise the government of the legality of its policies, the Israeli judiciary has seldom taken issue with its actions in the 23-month Israel-Hamas war.
Since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians,

Trump threatens Chicago with apocalyptic

force and Pritzker calls him a ‘wannabe dictator’ 2 replies
President Donald Trump on Saturday amplified his promises to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to Chicago by posting a parody image from “Apocalypse Now” featuring a ball of flames as helicopters zoom over the nation’s third-largest city.
“‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning,’” Trump wrote on his social media site. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.” The president offered no details beyond the label “Chipocalypse Now,” a play on the title of Francis Ford Coppola’s dystopian 1979 film set in the Vietnam war, in which a character says: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
The Durham City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution to make the city a “Fourth Amendment Workplace,” the Chronicle reported Wednesday. The article continued:
The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against arbitrary searches and arrests and serves as the basis of search warrants with a probable cause of crime. The resolution directs city staff to “uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments.”
The resolution says the city has “historically pursued equity and safety for all residents” and the trust of Durhamites is essential to the city carrying out its operations.
I have often said that Russian dialogue is essentially different from Western dialogue in that Russian speaking is direct and without pretense. This difference is very visible when outlining positions built on pragmatic acceptances.
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked about the status of negotiations with Ukraine. President Putin notes some of the internal political issues within Ukraine must be deconflicted in order for discussions to proceed. Without these issues resolved, discussion is futile.

A group of Navy SEALs penetrated North Korea in early 2019 in an attempt to compromise North Korea's nuclear communications channel. The mission may or may not have been compromised, and the resulting shootout, according to The New York Times, left a handful of North Koreans, possibly civilians, dead. The question is, why is this story running now?
The Mission
In 2018, as President Trump was engaged in high-wire nuclear diplomacy with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,
This summer, President Trump and Congress have been extremely successful with remaking the American economy to deliver for workers and businesses, passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBB) in July that extends important tax cuts and unleashes American energy.
In particular, American energy dominance and independence was a key winner, as numerous provisions repealed Biden-era giveaways to green energy that held back our economy, making energy less reliable and affordable. Yet the OBBB is just the first step for unleashing American energy, and the next step must be comprehensive permitting reform. With these mandates to expand our national energy dominance,

The Judicial Coup Is Collapsing

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.
Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé.
And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.
President Donald Trump is still facing a $83.3 million payment to writer E. Jean Carroll after a federal appeals court rejected his challenge of a defamation verdict against him Monday.
The ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a lower court decision finding that Trump did, in fact, defame Carroll. Trump's lawyers argued his comments about Carroll were protected by presidential immunity and that the verdict in the case was unjust. The three-judge panel rejected both of those claims.
"We conclude that Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err

The man whose account of Michael Brown’s death ignited the false “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was shot and killed Sunday morning in Ferguson, Missouri. Dorian Johnson, 33, died after being struck in a shooting around 8:30 a.m., according to Ferguson police. The incident occurred less than a mile from where Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, 2014, KMOV reported. Johnson was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, police said. One suspect was taken into custody, and charges have been submitted to the St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office, KMOV reported.
As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a big win on Monday, with the Supreme Court staying a lower court ruling barring ICE from conducting immigration stops without probable cause. The original decision, which came from Biden-appointed California District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, was spawned after a series of high-profile raids carried out in Los Angeles.
At the time, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) proclaimed that "justice has prevailed." I suspect he won't be quite as optimistic about or respectful of the Supreme Court's latest smackdown. Of course, this decision wasn't unanimous. As expected, the three liberal justices went the other way,
Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021.
Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk.
The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling.
This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate.
Democrats in Congress have released a note allegedly signed by US President Donald Trump and sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Lawyers for Epstein's estate sent documents to the House Oversight Committee after they were subpoenaed last month.
Democratic members of the committee posted a copy of the alleged letter, which features a drawing of a woman's body, on X on Monday.
"President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," the White House said.
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There is a lot of darkness out there. I've been wrestling with what to say to kick this off; something deep and insightful. Really, all I want to do is punch something. The nightmarish video from Charlotte, N.C., of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska being murdered by a psychopath who was roaming freely thanks to the Democrats' violent felon fetish is sickening and infuriating.
Hence the desire to punch something.
This is a story that is difficult to tell, but needs to be told. Guess who isn't telling it, though? Our enemy of the people, "journalists" in the mainstream media. It doesn't reflect

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a civil jury’s finding that President Donald Trump must pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for his repeated social media attacks and public statements against the longtime advice columnist after she accused him of sexual assault. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s appeal of the defamation award, finding that the “jury’s damages awards are fair and reasonable.” “The record in this case supports the district court’s determination that the ‘the degree of reprehensibility’ of Mr. Trump’s conduct was remarkably high, perhaps unprecedented,”

Police released mugshots of the two 17-year-olds accused in the June shooting death of a Capitol Hill intern in Washington, D.C. The victim, 21-year-old University of Massachusetts Amherst student Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, an intern for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan., was fatally shot June 30 about a mile from the White House. Suspects Kelvin Thomas Jr., of Southeast D.C., and Jailen Lucas, of Northwest D.C., are pictured in mugshots obtained by FOX5 DC. The two were arrested Friday and charged as adults with premeditated first-degree murder while armed.
Where are all the hurricanes? So far, we've only had one in the Atlantic (Erin), a far cry from the predictions of as many as 10. This week specifically is also usually quite active: Based on past years, Sept. 10 is the typical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. But this year, a quiet week is expected instead, as no tropical cyclone formation is expected during the next seven days, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center released Sept. 8. "Models show no areas of possible development this week, headed into the traditional hurricane season peak this
For decades, Democrats and Republicans have regularly cooperated to swiftly confirm the many, many individuals selected by each president to serve in their administration.
Regardless of the party in the White House, both sides have long agreed that a president deserves to have his or her administration in place, quickly. That doesn’t mean we don’t disagree. But it does mean when nominees are held up, opposed, or blocked—it’s for a legitimate purpose, not for leverage in partisan games, to score political points at the expense of public safety.
Now, while I agree with the above sentiment, those sentences aren’t actually mine. Those are the words of Democrat Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer [SNIP]
