Communist Candidate CRUSHED in NYC Mayoral Debate

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/23/2025 5:51:05 AM

The New York City mayoral debate has taken center stage, featuring three sharply different candidates: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa. The stakes could not be higher, as New Yorkers weigh competing visions for the city’s future. Zohran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed socialist, is currently leading the race by double digits. His rise has shocked many observers, not only because of his openly radical policies but also because of his history of antisemitic rhetoric and hardline positions that mirror the failures of communist regimes.

Mamdani, like fellow Democrat candidates Spanberger in Va. and Sherrill in NJ, are incapable of actually answering any question which requires them to articulate their proposed policies past a talking points. They also refuse to take a stand on any social issue. Hamas kills Israelis, I haven't studied that issue. Treatment of LGBTQ in Muslim countries? They stand with their LGBTQ allies against the Trump administration policies. Never an answer to the question. He/they are all cowards afraid to take a stand and anger their liberal supporters.

Andrew Cuomo caused all of the problems in New York! Mamdani is truly an empty suit. Good luck New York!

No he wasn't. The only people motivated enough to vote in this election are the radical leftists and Zorro is their boy. The only words they heard are "free" and "defund the police."

Apparently, no one can write understa cable English anymore. The headline and article make no sense. What are they trying to say here? Did Mamdani win this debate big? Or lose it big? Did he "crush it" or did he get crushed? Either way he's a disaster.

People will not vote for Cuomo. He has already been kicked out of office once. New Yorkers have made it clear over the years that they don not want Curtis as their mayor. Adams dropped out after he made nice with Trump. That leaves the socialist. He will bankrupt the city with his policies and then demand that Trump bail the city out when they run out of other people's money.

President Trump late Thursday evening announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated after the government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Trump accused the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court’s decision on his tariffs. The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5 on Trump’s tariffs after a lower court ruled they were illegal. “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump said.

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has been charged in a bombshell alleged illegal poker scheme tied to organized crime that netted upwards of $7 million. Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was charged as well, in a separate but related illegal gambling case. Thirty one people — including members of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese mafia families, and coaches and players from the Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trial Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors — have been arrested in the scheme carried out between January 2022 and March 2024,

Democrats are trying to blame Republicans for the healthcare crisis that “they themselves” created, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Wednesday, discussing the Democrat government shutdown. Democrats, he said, have rejected the GOP’s clean proposal to reopen the government a dozen times now and continue to refuse to cooperate under the guise of the healthcare crisis — something Johnson said Democrats created in the first place. In their desperation now, they’re trying their very best to somehow blame Republicans for the forthcoming healthcare crisis that they themselves created by way of —

If you watch The Five on FOX News, you know that Dana Perino does not usually go out on a limb to make political predictions. She is much more likely to follow traditional polling and play her cards very close to her chest. That is not what she did today. Perino was talking about the horrible optics for Democrats with the government shutdown when she suddenly predicted that Democrats are going to lose BOTH of the upcoming gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey Dana could very well be right. The polls in both races have tightened in recent weeks and are basically neck and neck.

President Trump will knock Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani on his “tuchus” if he becomes the Big Apple’s next mayor, rival Andrew Cuomo contended during Wednesday night’s debate. The former governor, when asked about how he plans to work with Trump, said the way to deal with the “hyper-aggressive” president is to confront him. Cuomo, running as an independent, then cast proud socialist Mamdani as simply not up to the task. He thinks he’s a kid and he’s going to knock him on his tuchus,” Cuomo said. “It is a balance, but you’re going to have to be adversarial when you need to.

A knife-wielding gang of shoplifters is terrorizing supermarkets across New York City, making off with hundreds of thousands of dollars in goods – and store owners gripe that cops are ignoring the rampage, The Post has learned. The crew of five has hit dozens of stores since July, brazenly stuffing backpacks with pricey beef, salami and seafood – and flashing their blades at workers who dare try to block their exit before they speed off in getaway cars, store owners told The Post. “Every time they come in, they are stealing about $800 worth of Dominican salamis,” Efrain Castro, who owns a Fine Fare in Upper Manhattan, told The Post.

Trump shared a press release from his Treasury Department late Wednesday afternoon announcing additional sanctions on Russia’s top oil companies. The Treasury is placing Open Joint Stock Company Rosneft Oil and Lukoil OAO under sanctions laid out in Executive Order 14024 “for operating or having operated in the energy sector of the Russian Federation economy.”

The House Judiciary Committee announced on Tuesday that they were making a criminal referral to the Department of Justice for action. The Chair of the Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), alleged that Brennan had lied to Congress. Rep. Jim Jordan claims in the letter: 1. Brennan falsely denied that the CIA relied on the discredited Steele dossier in drafting the post-election Intelligence Community Assessment. 2. Brennan falsely testified when he told the Committee that the CIA opposed including the Steele dossier in the ICA. 3. Brennan also provided false testimony during a HPSCI hearing in 2017.

Democrats to Create 'Master ICE

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.

Just in time for Halloween, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot allegedly wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to take off their masks, causing her critics to wonder if it’s an attempt to to make them easier to dox. Not content to live off of her legacy of skyrocketing murder and street crime in Chicago, the leftist pol is now part of a team that includes equally morally dubious attorneys who are forming a not-for-profit organization called the “ICE Accountability Project.” She told Chicago’s Fox 32 that the objective is to “unmask” ICE officers who are assigned to work on ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents. After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law. James proudly announced in a press release on Oct. 22 that she is

Perhaps the most characteristic quality of our historical moment is the sheer nastiness of the Left. And by Left, I don’t mean the socialist extreme, I mean the entire Democratic Party. We see it all the time, literally every day. This is one of thousands of instances: Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary, now a professional representative of the Democratic Party, insulted Usha Vance, wife of the vice president: She asserted that Mrs. Vance, 39, mother of 3, was afraid of her overly “ambitious” husband, 41, who’s even worse than the 79-year-old Trump. Vance is overly ambitious because Psaki thinks he wants to be president. Unlike, among many other vice presidents,
