Black NYC homeowners slam Mamdani’s
property tax increase

Black homeowners are fuming over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat that he’ll raise their property taxes by nearly 10% — with some telling The Post it could force them out of New York City. “Mayor Zohran Mamdani you are out of your goddamn mind,” Cambria Heights resident James Johnson seethed. Critics like Johnson, 35, a Democratic City Council candidate and an activist for the predominantly black and working class Queens neighborhood, argued the proposed tax hike was a whiplash-inducing departure from Hizzoner’s campaign promise that only the ultra wealthy would see their taxes go up under his administration.

It is hard to believe that there are people who still believe Democrats' "free stuff" promises. Anyone with two brain cells has to know someone is going to have to pay for all that free stuff and you can only take so much from the ultra rich before they will move out to a state that isn't punishing them for being wealthy.

The 'poor' black homeowner shouldn't be asked to pay his share of the free stuff. But you can bet he thinks he deserves a bunch of the freebies. Kind of a ' not in my back yard' thing. Tax all those 'rich' white folks, but let those poor black folks skate!

FTA: “You screamed affordability. You ran on it. You said affordability, affordability, affordability … And the first thing, not even three months into your administration, into your term. You wanna hit us with a 9.5% property tax increase? Not happening.” And it's just not fair---and probably racist---that only smart people saw this coming.

New Yorkers have always considered themselves to be the smartest people in the room on everything. What was so smart about electing a Communist mayor who told you up front that he was going to destroy the city? Oh, he might not have said so in so many words, but an intelligent person would have drilled down through all of his grinning BS to see what would happen. Well, you got what you voted for. If you want him out it's going to take torches and pitchforks, cuz angry letters aren't going to do it.

Race, Race, Race, Race, Race, Race, Race! All the Media talks about is RACE! How about ALL the people in New York City, regardless of RACE, who worked their backsides off for decades to buy a home, and -now retired- are now facing 'the Squeeze' as taxes and fees go up while their income stagnates? But the Media ignores all the 'white' people who are in this same situation. "TAX THE RICH!" the 'Rat politicians shouted, and all the Clapping Seals and Gimme-Dats applauded. But as I understand it, the top 1% of New Yorkers pay about 46% of the tax money paid to the city. Run these people off, and there won't be any money to pay all the Freebies to the Gimme-Dats. From my perch 1300 miles away in Flyover country, I want to Laugh at the Gimme-Dats -regardless of Race- who are now figuring out that THEY have to PAY. At the same time, I want to Cry for the people -regardless of Race- who worked their backsides off to buy a home, and are now looking at an increasingly punishing tax burden. Maybe..... just MAYBE..... they'll vote for LESS SPENDING by their Politicians in the future.... but I doubt it That was an option conspicuously Not mentioned in this article. It IS Noo Yawk, after all.

The wealthy and upper middle class have the means to leave and leave they will. Years ago, NYC was a vibrant, exciting city. Wait until the subways become rolling homeless shelters, crime spikes etc, etc, and the golden geese fly to greener pastures. Mamdani is a communist and communism only works at the point of a gun. The first attempt will be an "exit" tax to try to keep the tax-paying geese from leaving then, when that doesn't work, firmer steps will be taken including confiscation of remaining property.. What they fail to realize is that work from home is growing and a lot of employees no longer need a physical presence except maybe an occasional necessary trip if that. Two of my son- in laws work almost entirely from home now. Many corporations in the future will only need a more modest physical home office. Many workers can work entirely from home now and move and live in a more friendly and safer place. Luigi Mangione killed Brian Thompson in cold blood on his way to work at United Healthcare in NYC. It's only going to get worse.

The Mamdani election shows further that when you vote for leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat politicians you are in affect asking for your taxes to be raised up, as that has always been been included in the leftist and liberal Democrat political agenda.

The disturbing images showed scores of sickly thin Palestinian youngsters with their bones poking out.

It didn't start with the nomination of Zohran Mandami last Tuesday, but his victory continued the trend. The Dems and the Jews are not one anymore. Let's check this out from Gregory Lyakhov: "The Democratic Party, once a political home for Jewish Americans, has now become a party that excuses, enables, and empowers antisemitism. Jewish Americans committed to their faith, safety, and democratic values must recognize that political loyalty cannot be unconditional. The time for denial has passed."

Let’s bear that in mind while looking at the amount of firepower the IRS can deploy. In 2020, they had 2,100 “special agents,” who carry firearms and are fully trained to use them. These are law enforcement officers against tax evaders. They inventoried nearly 4,500 firearms, including 15 “submachine guns” (probably M-16 or M-4 automatic rifles) and 539 long-barreled guns (presumably AR-15s and a few semi-auto shotguns). They also had 5 million rounds of ammo, which should be more than enough.

City authorities turned on 33 new cameras last month, according to KABC-TV in Los Angeles, yet they will not give out citations for the first two months of the program. Instead, drivers will receive warnings during that time. Once citations do start, however, the income level of the driver will determine how much he or she will pay.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for. According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished. And Trump noticed. He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments

Literally, refusing to stand. The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it. "I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support." The principle?

Montgomery County police said it started around 12:39 a.m., when a large caravan of vehicles tied to takeover activity was spotted heading toward the Silver Spring central business district. Officers moved to monitor the group and closed several intersections to limit access and protect the public.

Vance will appear alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to make the announcement — one day after President Trump announced a “war on fraud” in his State of the Union address.

By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question: “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.” With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it. “You should be ashamed,” he said.

Did you ever go to Yankee Stadium? I’ve been there dozens of times and have always felt thrilled and celebratory when they’ve won, especially in the years when Mariano Rivera was closing and Jorge Posada was catching. I even wore my Posada jersey when I knew he would be in the lineup. There are 46,537 seats in the stadium, and it is always packed. But what fascinated me the most was when the Yankees lost, and I witnessed the reaction of die-hard fans as they exited the ballpark. Many had fire in their eyes — pure rage. Others took to expletives.

Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation.
