Let Them Burn It Down

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race this week is a clear moment. Voters chose a 34-year-old Democrat Socialist promising frozen rents, higher taxes on the wealthy, more public spending, etc. You know, all the things communists promise before their overblown Marxism takes control. That is now the experiment New York City residents asked for. As GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) explained: Zohran Mamdani’s victory marks the BIGGEST WIN FOR destructive, dangerous, big government SOCIALISM in U.S. history — and a loss for freedom loving American people. He’s an unapologetic Marxist — fully EMBRACED by the Democrat establishment. Hakeem Jeffries ENDORSED him. Barack Obama personally called to CONGRATULATE him.

Time to Close the Public Schools?

From the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, this depressing statistic: 34% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 have a favorable opinion of communism: (Snip) To say you like communism, you have to be a moron. And you have to know absolutely nothing about history. And you must be getting your information from ill-intentioned, malicious sources. What sources might those be? The public schools. What other explanation is there for young people developing a fondness for communism?
I think we have reached the point where it is a serious question whether, on balance, our public schools do more harm than good. Sure, our kids need to learn how to read
Ford is considering scrapping the electric version of its F-150 pickup — once billed as the future of American trucks — after racking up billions in losses and watching demand collapse.
Executives are in active talks about axing the money-losing F-150 Lightning altogether, sources told the Wall Street Journal, in what could become the first major casualty of America’s faltering electric vehicle revolution.
The Lightning, launched with fanfare in 2021 and hailed by CEO Jim Farley as a ‘smartphone that can tow,’ was supposed to mark a new era for Ford. President Joe Biden even took one for a spin, calling it ‘quick as hell.’
But the hype faded fast.

During Wednesday’s jubilations for Democratic victories across the board the night prior, MSNBC’s Katy Tur claimed New York City’s wealthiest won’t leave because of the immense amount of culture on offer. Her guests also supported the idea that electing Zohran Mamdani (D) won’t scare off the one percent and subsequently bankrupt the city.
When asked if it was insane for a socialist to be placed in charge of the “capitalist capital of the world,” former Biden adviser Jared Bernstein defended the mayor-elect:

Greetings, Dear Reader,
As usual, they’re all wrong and I’m right.
How can we interpret the two conflagrations in our midst?
Let’s get into it.
THE PIED PIPER OF BUSHWICK
There are a couple of fires right now for conservatives. To our front, the Heritage Foundation is in the midst of a generational struggle session over allegiance to Israel.
While I think the reckoning is worthwhile and ultimately inevitable – especially considering future American conservatives are not apt to carry Jerusalem’s burden – the one to our rear is much more immediate and consequential.
The story we’re hearing from the left (and the right) about Mamdani’s win in New York City is pure mythology.
Nothing New in Brussels

The EU summit on Thursday in Brussels focused primarily on security issues. To put it bluntly: Ukraine must somehow turn its lost war against Russia into a victory, and the EU must be militarily ready for action by 2030. The fact that this would only be feasible with a functioning economy has apparently not yet dawned on the power center in Brussels. Instead, they are preparing for a major fiscal “liberation strike,” giving bureaucracy a lush boom of its own.
When German chancellor Friedrich Merz traveled to Brussels for the EU summit, his fiery rhetoric about EU bureaucratization followed him closely. “Let me put it in very vivid terms:
No Enemies to the Right? Wrong!
4 replies
Is it, or should it be true that in order to win, we should follow the principle that there are "no enemies to the right?"
On its face, the principle makes sense. After all, elections are won by adding together enough voters and voting blocs to get a plurality of the vote. Unless you have more voters than the other side(s), you lose. So if you see a group of voters who might be persuaded to vote along with you, it makes sense to either appeal to them or, at the very least, not criticize them.
This is the essence of some conservatives' arguments that the critiques of Tucker Carlson,
There's an iron law of climate change: if something brings human beings joy, it must be destroying the planet.
Could it be that happiness is the real enemy of climate cultists? Are they really so unhappy that they want everybody so unhappy that they will queue up for the suicide pods that liberals are so excited to roll out? (Snip) Now you have to give the Associated Press SOME credit for doing a deep dive into the subject of cats and dogs. After much research, they discovered that they have to eat, and as we know, the production of food is a bad thing. That's why European governments
In the days prior to news breaking about arrests being made concerning a National Basketball Association (NBA) cheating scandal, an interesting study was published by Oxford University’s Public Opinion Quarterly. Titled “To Report or Not to Report? A Qualitative Analysis of Journalists’ Perspectives on Harm to Public Opinion,” its abstract noted this:
Journalists face intricate decisions regarding what to publish, especially when problematic content may impact public opinion in a way that could fuel hate and/or undermine democratic attitudes.
Standing out in the study is the finding that “journalists who do not publish problematic content do so because they expect to negatively impact public opinion, in particular democratic attitudes,
Someone point this out to the "Qu**rs for Palestine" crowd: In Dearborn, Michigan, two 20-year-old men are under arrest for allegedly plotting a mass-shooting attack on LGBTQ+ bars in the area; they had obtained weapons, practiced with those weapons, and scouted targets. It's a matter of luck and sharp police work that they were caught before committing an atrocity.
Two 20-year-old men who had acquired high-powered weapons and practiced at gun ranges were scouting LGBTQ+ bars in suburban Detroit in September for a possible Halloween attack, authorities said Monday in filing terrorism-related charges.
Here's the onion:
Mohmed Ali, Majed Mahmoud, and co-conspirators were inspired by the Islamic State group’s extremism,
Arctic Frost Revisited
4 replies
Arctic Frost was the FBI investigation that tried to associate Donald Trump and many other Republicans with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest. It was the basis for one of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictments of Trump. That indictment was dismissed. Senator Chuck Grassley has been on this case for a long time; whistleblowers approached him long ago to explain the corruption of the FBI and Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
Arctic Frost can best be seen as a continuation of the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which sought to prevent Trump from being elected, and then to cripple his administration after he won the 2016 election.
Flat spin

By far the biggest disappointment for me last night was the victory by Democrat Jay Jones in the race for Attorney General of Viriginia.
You will recall that Jones had previously threatened to kill a Republican opponent and wished death upon his family.
From the New York Post,
Democrat Jay Jones unseats Virginia GOP attorney general Jason Miyares despite text scandal
“Text scandal”
Polls showed Jones and Miyares neck-and-neck ahead of election day, with the Democrat recovering from a drop in support after the emergence of his August 2022 comments fantasizing about the death of a Republican lawmaker and his family, in which he said that “only when people feel pain personally do they

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she would not seek another term in Congress in 2026.
The first and only female speaker of the House, Pelosi, 85, has been a fixture within the halls of Capitol Hill since 1987. She is the second-highest elected female official in US history, behind former Vice President Kamala Harris.
I did not vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Call me crazy — but a socialist who, until five minutes ago, was gleefully tweeting to defund the police and who refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” is not my ideal steward for this glittering center of progress.
On social media, there’s a relentless schadenfreude chorus of “You deserve what you vote for” from out-of-towners who don’t seem to understand that massive swathes of New Yorkers did not, in fact, vote for Mamdani.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere.
What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor. As Scott Jennings says, good luck, New York… A mayor who believes criminals are the “real victims” and police are the oppressors. This issue is about assimilation, or the lack of it. New York City doesn’t belong to any Muslims, and stunts like this don’t create

How Mamdani Won New York
16 replies
Zohran Mamadani’s stunning victory as the newly elected mayor of New York was salt poured in the open wound of an even more titanic blue wave that swept aside any hopes that the nation had turned back to traditional sanity. He’s an old-school communist who made no effort to cloak his Marxist bona fides behind the charade of democratic socialism, and secured a victory that we could see coming from a mile away.
It's a turning point for the nation as a disciple of the deadliest ideology the modern world has ever known is empowered to beset this terror upon Americans [snip].
Which begs the question, how did he do it?

A federal jury has convicted a New York fiber laser expert of stealing military defense secrets to start a business in China.
Ji Wang, 63, faces up to 15 years in prison for economic espionage after pilfering classified research on laser weapons technology.
Wang’s conviction marks another victory in federal efforts to combat intellectual property theft linked to China’s state-sponsored recruitment programs.
Wang stole hundreds of files containing trade secrets from a $11.4 million military project on or around July 1, 2016. The stolen data included manufacturing technology for specialty optical fibers used in high-powered laser weapons. Just ten days before the theft, Wang had applied for China’s Thousand Talents Plan Award.
KAMPALA - When Zohran Mamdani inveighed against inequality and corruption during his underdog bid for New York City mayor, Joseph Beyanga at Uganda's Daily Monitor could hear echoes of conversations almost 20 years earlier with the then-intern on the newspaper's sports desk. "Mamdani would sit with me in the production room. He would always ask me, so who is affected by this one? Who pays the price?" Beyanga, the Daily Monitor's media manager, told Reuters. (Snip) The son of a Ugandan academic of Indian origins and an Indian-American filmmaker, Mamdani was born and spent several years as a child in Uganda's
Federal prosecutors have opened a corruption investigation into Washington DC’s Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser.
According to The New York Times, the investigation has been underway for several months. The investigation is focused on Bowser’s $61,000 trip to Dubai for a UN Climate Change conference in 2023. Bowser’s trip was reportedly paid for by Qatar. Earlier this year 7News filed a FOIA request to uncover who paid for Bowser’s trip to Dubai and said there is no record of a donation agreement between DC and Qatar.
