Whoa! WaPo Drops Blistering Op-Ed on Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani

RedState   

"The Democrats are running scared because they’re realizing that with folks like this and NY Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they’ve gone too extreme even for themselves."

"Well this was certainly unexpected. The leftist Washington Post dropped a devastating op-ed Friday by its editorial board that ripped into democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani and said that he would be “bad for New York.”

"As we reported, the political novice won a shocking victory in Tuesday's Democrat NYC mayoral primary, beating disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and putting himself in prime position for the November general election.

"Usually the liberal rag is little more than a mouthpiece for the DNC, so to see them go after a Democrat this hard is a stunner and reveals two things: 1) Mamdani and his extremist policies are truly a danger to the Big Apple, and 2), leftists are scared right now. As I wrote earlier Friday, Mamdani could turn out to be a “big, beautiful gift” to the GOP because we can and will pound away the narrative that this guy is the new face of the Democrat party.

"Even for many libs, this permanently-grinning specter with his socialist utopia visions, grand tax schemes and antisemitism is a bridge too far.The Post agrees, and they give the entire game away in their headline: Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party.

"The WaPo was just getting started, saying that almost all other Democrats are “better” than Mamdani." . . .

Zohran Mamdani, the charismatic 33-year-old who is now the front-runner to be the next mayor of New York, might seem like a breath of fresh air for a Democratic Party struggling to move past its aging establishment. In fact, New Yorkers should be worried that he would lead Gotham back to the bad old days of civic dysfunction, and Democrats should fear that he will discredit their next generation of party leaders, almost all of whom are better than this democratic socialist.

"Whoa. Tell us how you really feel, WaPo." . . .More...

The Claim That America ‘Stole’ California From Mexico Is An Ignorant Lie

 The Federalist 

"The United States won California because of winning a war — the way lands have changed hands for virtually all of human history. This latest attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the United States in general and its western states in particular is disingenuous at best and an outright lie at worst. But of course, leftists never let facts get in the way of a good victimization story."

"Recently, Katy Perry claimed on her Instagram page that California has always belonged to Mexico and is another example of U.S. racism and bigotry. 

"That’s not quite … right. California, like most of the world, has a history that’s slightly more complex than will fit an average bumper sticker.

"Prior to the Spanish arrival in 1542, there were more than 100 different tribes inhabiting modern-day California. Most were small, and the total population of the area is estimated to be approximately 300,000. 

"Although there were some minor explorations and small settlements, Spain left California largely unexplored and unsettled for nearly the next 200 years. This was due to a combination of factors such as distance from Spain, the strained Spanish finances, and also because there were no pack animals, little agricultural tradition, and a food supply that was less than appealing to Spanish palates. 

"By the late 18th century, however, the Spanish decided they needed to better organize their North American territories to preempt incursions from other European powers, particularly the French and Russians. As a result, Spain began a more robust exploration of the state and would slowly colonize it, setting up missions along the vast coastal areas. 

"By the early part of the 19th century, however, Spain’s fortunes were changing, the empire was stretched too thin, and after a decade of fighting, Mexico gained its independence in 1821. The new nation included what is today Mexico, as well as California and much of the American Southwest, stretching east to Texas and north to Colorado. Here’s where the rub in the argument that the United States stole California begins." . . .

May Heaven protect America from the simple-minded who desperately try to be known as "Good People". TD

The recycling scam laid bare in California’s leftist heartland

 Andrea Widburg  "Here residents can be fined up to $500 for not separating their trash when disposing of it"

This is Tiburon, California

As you can see when the city comes to pick it up, it’s all thrown in one bin and taken to the landfill

"Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves.

"When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage. That wasn’t surprising, though, given that Marin County is one of the most hardcore Democrat regions in America. There, it wasn’t voluntary, with municipal codes mandating separation, a mandate enforced with financial penalties. Since I left California, the state got into the action, too.

"It turns out, though, that in Tiburon, California, the garbage collectors haven’t gotten the message. This wonderful video shows that, while good citizens dutifully separate their trash according to complex instructions carefully written out on the garbage cans, the efficient trash collectors are unimpressed. Everything goes into the same bin, then to the same truck, and from there to the same landfill: This is the practice in Tiburon, CA as posted by Ms. Widburg.

On the other hand, here is how Cleveland handles recycling

UPDATED: Keep Natasha, fire CNN; Its lies damage America by undermining the man we elected president

 Don Surber  

The damage done by CNN seeps to the fiber of America as the Big Lie is repeated by liar after liar in the televised culture. For example, MRC News Busters reported, “Colbert Dances After CNN Article Casts Doubt On Success Of Iran Strikes.”

. . . "Benny Johnson posted a clip from CNN and tweeted:

After getting torched by the Trump Administration, CNN is now panicking and reporting the TRUTH about the U.S. strikes on Iran: “It worked flawlessly. Completely destroyed. Those centrifuges are gone. Fordo is inoperable. Probably forever.”

"The reason the man said probably forever is that once compromised by a dozen bunker busters, the mountain is unstable and would likely cave in if Iran tried to rebuild it. Iran has two choices: find another mountain or do what Saddam Hussein did when Israel blew up his nuke tech site: give up.

"Now CNN is making the Walk It Back of Shame. Mark Steffen reported:'

'The cleanup is underway at CNN, where days of withering criticism over its coverage of the U.S. bombing of Iran appears to have had its intended effect.

Network analysts are now backtracking on claims made in a bombshell report from earlier this week, which cited a U.S. intelligence assessment that the bombs had little effect on stymying Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Brett McGurk, a CNN global affairs analyst and former diplomat, went so far as to assert that President Trump’s planned operation “worked flawlessly.”

“These massive [bombs], with significant computer software engineering, went directly down to those three ventilated shafts specifically as designed,” he told two CNN anchors on Thursday.

“It worked. It seems it worked flawlessly.”

McGurk also stated that he was briefed on the current phase of assessing the bombing, which is exploring if everything went as planned.

"Trump’s spokeswoman demolished CNN." . . .

Now we know why Deep State had to leak ‘fake Iran’ story to CNN’s Natasha Bertrand… 

"Now here’s where the story takes a turn. Enter Natasha Bertrand… CNN’s Pentagon and national security correspondent. But she’s a lot more than that.

Bertrand has been called a Deep State mouthpiece and a key player in pushing the Russia hoax, the infamous “pee tape” lie, and a long list of other intelligence-backed psy-ops, like the Hunter Biden laptop coverup and the “51 spies who lied.” But now, she’s got a new gig. Ms. Bertrand is the alleged leaker.

Press Secretary Levitt called her out by name."   Full article

UPDATE: CNN is backtracking BIG TIME as they air that Trump was RIGHT - the Iran strikes were effective, the leaked intel report was WRONG

"It WORKED. It seems to have worked flawlessly!"

NY is Doomed: MAMDANI MIGRATION: Wealthy New Yorkers ditching NYC for Florida—deals collapsing overnight.

"@LJMoynihan

explains the irony: "These are the very people Mamdani needs to pay for his programs. Where’s the money coming from if they leave?"

• Examine his actions from a wider perspective: Does he intend to expel those who will disagree with his future ambitions for the city and state? Those that remain will probably be his supporters, who will vote in favor of Sharia law. That, I think, is his goal!
• The money was NEVER going to come from the rich. The Dem ringleaders ARE the rich. They’ll wring it from the skilled craftsmen, professionals, and small businessmen that make up the Payer Class. – Mike
• Margaret Thatcher said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually runout of other people’s money”. Also, “There’s no such thing as ‘safe’ socialism. If it’s safe it’s not socialism. And if it’s socialism, it’s not safe”. New Yorkers must unite and not vote for socialism. – Tiaggo
• Mamdani talks big on programs, but the wealthy New Yorkers who fund them are fleeing to Florida fast. Deals collapsing overnight—where’s the money coming from if the taxpayers bail? His promises don’t add up. Reality is catching up with radical policies.

Not everybody commenting was thrilled: . . ."then they should stay and clean up the mess. it's not florida's mess and no one wants to suffer their self righteous attitudes."

So, the "rich" want to leave New York for Florida? And someone please tell me who it is that is going to buy their residences and business properties in New York? You might want to leave, but are you willing to give up what you currently have for next to nothing?

Michigan Supreme Court Embroiled in Pronoun Battle Prompted by ACLU—Thomas More Law Center Joins Fray

Thomas More Law Center 

 “The State Bar of Michigan has no right to force this compulsion.  In its ostensible effort to be ‘tolerant’ or ‘diverse,’ it would, in fact, be enacting the least tolerant court rule in all its history. 

ANN ARBOR, MI — On Monday, May 1, the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”) filed its written opposition in the Michigan Supreme Court challenging the wisdom of a proposed amendment to Michigan Court Rule 1.109, which would require all judges in the state to refer to parties and attorneys by any personal pronoun they select.

"Erin Elizabeth Mersino, TMLC’s Chief of Supreme Court and Appellate Practice, authored the eight-page opposition to the proposed rule.  She commented that the proposed amendment “is the ACLU’s latest attempt to destroy the very fabric of our nation by subjugating our inalienable right to free speech to mandatory endorsement of its transgender agenda.”  The proposed amendment is so extreme, judges will no longer be able to make judgments on a case-by-case basis.  Failure to use a requested pronoun could result in the judge being punished for violating the court rule by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission.

"The pronoun controversy erupted when Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Mark Boonstra criticized the other two members of the three-panel court over their use of the Defendant’s preferred pronoun in a concurring opinion in People v. Gorbick.  The Defendant, convicted of multiple counts of criminal sexual abuse on children and self-identifying as having multiple personality disorder, told the court he wanted to use the preferred pronoun, “they” and “them.”  Judge Boonstra expressed his concern for blindly following such a request and wrote that the court “should not be altering its lexicon whenever an individual prefers to be identified in a manner contrary to what society throughout human history has understood to be immutable truth.” . . .

Commentary 128 Democrats Reject Latest Trump Impeachment—Here’s the Major Reason Why

 Victor Davis Hanson      

"So this opposition is really hurting the Democrats because it’s so hypocritical. But more importantly, it’s an act of omission."

"And this one was strange because 128 Democrats of the House caucus voted against it. And so, Reps. Al Green and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and all of these people that were affiliates for “the squad” and the radical fringe couldn’t even get a majority of Democrats.

"And you know why that was? Think about it for a reason. One of them was that Sen. Chuck Schumer in the Senate and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who’s not speaker but she still has the influence on Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the speaker who voted against the resolution, said, “Wait a minute. You got to remember that if we do this, we’re going to get killed by clips every day during the midterms.” . . .
