"As we know, every great parody is based on the truth. Israeli satire show “Eretz Nehederet” airs a sketch mocking NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani."

Gotta love this Israeli-produced parody of Mamdani
Maybe Karine should give up on this book
"Watching former Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre promote her book is hard. It's obvious that no one is buying her arguments. Did she really believe that the public would buy accept that stuff about President Biden being in top form? Or are we watching yet another person who spent so much time in the "bubble" that she couldn't see what all of us were seeing?
"The latest stop in the book tour did not go well. Let's check that out:
"Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was grilled on Tuesday about her new book and decision to leave the Democratic Party.
"Podcaster Van Lathan spoke with Jean-Pierre about her decision to leave the Democratic Party as well as her new book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines."
"During her book tour, Jean-Pierre said the title's reference to a "broken" White House referred to the Trump administration, not the Biden administration.
" You know, I saw that you said that when you meant a ‘broken’ White House that you don't mean the Biden White House, that you mean the Trump White House. Nobody believes that," Lathan said.
" 'Well, because the book was written to be in the moment," Jean-Pierre responded. "When you read the book, you'll see that I'm talking about what's happening right now and meeting the moment. I mean, people didn't believe that because they want a tell-all, right? I think people… they assume the book was going to be I'm telling secrets, and I'm not. The book doesn't have secrets in it. The book is literally talking about my experience."
"Jean-Pierre argued the book had far more depth in terms of talking about the current moment in the country.
"There was nothing in your opinion that was broken about the Biden White House?" Lathan pressed further.
"Even liberal hosts are not buying it. It didn't go well again because people are not stupid. Everybody could see that the former President had lost his fastball. He was struggling to answer questions. Eventually, everything hit the fan when the nation saw him on TV debating President Trump and looking horrible.
"KJP may have been a loyal team player. However, you can't let your loyalty isolate you from the reality that we were all seeing. I think that her book would have been better received if she had been more honest about her failures and the media's willingness to cover things up.
"As for leaving the Democrat Party, honestly, who cares? It doesn't make her more sincere. It's just a cheap excuse to look "independent" when she was not.
"So good luck, KJP. Maybe there is another book that you can work on, because this one is not working for you."
At least the Babylon Bee found opportunity for humor in the NY mayor's election
"NEW YORK CITY, NY — The elderly Jewish community is reportedly at a crossroads this Election Day, torn between a man who would kill them for being Jewish and a man who would kill them for being elderly.
" 'Mamdani wants me dead for being Jewish," said Estelle Goldberg, a rabbi's wife. "But Cuomo would shove me in a nursing home infected with COVID and refuse to admit me to the hospital."
"It's a tough choice." . . .
Zohran Mamdani Horrified To Discover He Now Has A Job
"NEW YORK, NY — In the wake of his overwhelming election win that signalled a dramatic political shift in the United States, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was reportedly horrified to wake up this morning and discover that he now had a job.
The Ugandan-born socialist won a landslide victory on Tuesday over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and common sense, only to come to the stunning realization that he would now have to work.
"I didn't think this through," Mamdani reportedly told one of his aides. "I was all excited about the campaign and wanted to win, but I got so caught up in the competition that I didn't stop to think that I would end up, you know, having a job. This is terrible."
Promising handouts and government-provided living necessities built a tremendous following for Mamdani, though he now found himself in the unenviable position of not being able to just sit at home and do nothing like his supporters. "I didn't know I would have to like… do stuff," . . .
When Mamdani speaks, everybody better listen
Zohran Mamdani Just Delivered One of the Most Horrifying Quotes Ever From a Politician – Twitchy
Did You Catch the Scariest Part of Mamdani’s Victory Speech?
The Kids Have Delivered Mamdani, but the Adults Will Be Required to Handle the Results to Come – RedState“We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” Why is there standing water on your lawn?
. . . "Mamdani is the youngest mayor of the city in a century, and it is his contemporaries who have driven him into office. That is to say, those with the least amount of political experience and wisdom were swayed by the promises of this wunderkind. The people with a sparse voting record that matches Mamdani’s lack of a professional resume have placed him in charge of the biggest city, and disaster only looms.". . .
. . . "What these voters fail to do is look deeper into these issues. If these heart-swelling policies are so wondrous, did any of them ask why these have not been implemented before? Have they not considered that the buses and subways will become rolling homeless shelters? Did none of them see the city-operated grocer that recently failed in Missouri? And what about the application of pragmatism to these proposals?
Mamdani has frequently been shown to have fractured interpretations of fiscal policies. He plans to raise $9 billion by hiking taxes on billionaires, saying the municipal rate is still lower than most other cities'. He chooses to omit that this exists on top of an existing state tax, meaning the rich face higher rates. Analysts have used this same subterfuge by claiming examples of other hikes on the wealthy have proven successful elsewhere, but they are using statewide examples applied to proposals confined to a city.
His promise of free childcare up to five years of age, with providers paid at the same level as teachers, is so expensive that his campaign estimates costs could run as high as $20,000 per child, and $6 billion to operate. This would constitute two-thirds of the new tax revenue he plans to rake in – for just one of his programs. Now factor in that the city has been operating with a budget deficit of $5-7 billion the past few years, and these plans look even more ridiculous.

107 SECONDS TO PARADISE
"The Democrats’ problem is that their base and the media (also their base) are insane. About a third of their voters are of the “no English” or face-tattoo variety. At some point, nearly every Democrat is forced to do something repellant to normal people to impress their cretinous voters."

"With Zorhan Mamdani sailing toward victory in New York City’s mayoral race, I’m reminded that I still haven’t reviewed Kamala Harris’ book “107 Days” long after the raw excitement of her book tour.
"I’ve read the entire book, except for the part after the title. Her thesis is that the only reason she lost to Donald Trump is because of the brevity of her campaign. Yes, if only voters had seen more of her!
"In fact, Kamala lost because she’s a callow, arrogant imbecile with zero judgment, Cro-Magnon-like stupidity, entirely unwarranted regal arrogance and a gobsmacking difficulty speaking simple English. Even 107 seconds might have been too much exposure to that.
"Mamdani’s runaway popularity disproves her thesis but confirms mine, which is that the less time a Democrat is in the public eye, the better off he is, whereas the more time a Republican is in the public eye, the better off he is.
"Andrew Cuomo thought he was nailing Mamdani at the last mayoral debate, when he said, “You wouldn’t even know how to kill a bunch of nursing home residents with COVID!” Wait, no — that’s not what he said. He said:
"“You have never had a job. You’ve never accomplished anything. There’s no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification for 8.5 million lives. You don’t know how to run a government, you don’t know how to handle an emergency,” and so on.
"Yes, exactly. That’s why the betting markets currently give Mamdani better odds of being the Democrats’ 2028 presidential nominee than Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado or Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, among others.
"On the other hand, actually becoming mayor is about to blow any chance Mamdani had of securing the nomination. Ideally, people would vote electronically the moment after Democrats settle on a candidate, before any questions can be asked. (Kamala seems nice.) That’s why liberals keep moving up the date of early voting." . . .
‘Activists from elsewhere’: Chancellor says Iran-linked agitators fuel protests
"The chancellor of Syracuse University revealed his belief that pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests were encouraged and potentially orchestrated by Iran while speaking on a panel this week in Washington, D.C.
"Chancellor Kent Syverud spoke on a panel Tuesday alongside the chancellors from Vanderbilt and Washington University in St. Louis and described the protest activity that took place on his college campus as well as other universities across the country.
""When things happened that I really believe were encouraged from Iran," Syverud explained to the audience. "[The protests] did not have the involvement of very many, if any, of our own students."
"Syracuse’s top official also discussed the difficulty of holding individuals, including students, accountable because of the use of face masks or coverings intentionally used to shield identity.
" 'People were using masks to avoid accountability for what they were saying and doing," Syverud added, noting that people in masks could have been "activists from elsewhere."
Anti-Israel agitator sentenced for hate crimes against Jewish protesters
. . . "The attack on Palombo’s mural is more than vandalism. It is a warning — that Europe’s oldest hatred, once thought to have been consigned to history, is again defacing its walls and consciences. The attempt to erase the face of Shiri Bibas is an attempt to erase accountability, to efface the line between victim and aggressor.
"Yet amid the desecration, one truth endures: remembrance cannot be destroyed. As long as artists like Palombo continue to paint, and as long as free societies refuse to look away, the erased face of Shiri Bibas will remain not a void but a mirror — reflecting what the civilized world must never forget."
New York’s Deal with the Devil

| Mamdani |
Here’s where big Wall Street firms are moving as NYC looks poised to elect a socialist mayor "As Wall Street faces the prospect of left-wing firebrand Zohran Mamdani becoming the city’s next mayor, a fast-growing business hub down south is beckoning.
"Dallas — whose grab bag of major business moguls has included Ross Perot, Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones — has more recently become a major draw for big financial firms that were born and raised in the Big Apple.
"Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000-square-foot, $500 million campus in Dallas. It’s set to open in 2028 and consolidate over 5,000 employees. Last year, the mega bank hired Robert Kaplan, the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, as its vice chairman." . . .
New York’s Deal with the Devil "New York is poised to make its own Faustian bargain—selling its soul for “free” perks and socialist promises that will cost the city far more than it can ever afford to pay."
. . . "Socialism, communism, Marxism, and leftism—whatever you call it—are fantastical, millenarian ideologies. It promises that which cannot be achieved and replaces religion, faith, and constant striving with shallow earthly comforts. In the end, of course, it delivers nothing of the sort. Indeed, in the end, it is far more likely to deliver hell on earth than anything remotely approximating paradise." . . .
Idiot Media Ignore 40 Years Of History To Pretend Trump Attacks On Cartels Are Unprecedented
"So other than infantry assaults and shooting down planes and embedding Special Forces soldiers with Latin American militaries in a few hundred armed raids over the course of five-plus decades, it’s a shocking break with American political norms to use lethal force against the cartels. No one else has ever done it before, except for literally every single other president."
"The Trump administration is using lethal strikes against drug cartel boats in the Caribbean, and — as always — journalists are quite confident that nothing like this has ever happened before. He’s murdering drugrunners, executing them without due process, in an unprecedented use of military force! I could show you a dozen recent examples of this argument, but — as always — the dumbest, laziest example could come from just one source." . . .
"There are no ideologues in the West like those who pose as objective reporters and editors. At times some have internal struggles with the real journalist within. But the propagandist always wins."
"It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party. Whether the claims are true or not – the existence of the whistleblower remains unconfirmed – the mainstream media’s loyalty to Democrats is uncomfortably similar to the relationship Pravda had with the Central Committee of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.
" 'To quickly recap, the unnamed whistleblower said ABC agreed to fact-check Trump while ensuring “Harris would not face comparable scrutiny.” The plan was so detailed that “various people were assigned to fact check observations it was perceived candidate Trump would make during the debate.”
“ 'In fact,” says the whistleblower, the “Harris campaign required assurances that Donald Trump would be fact-checked.”
"These agreements were reached on calls that the Trump campaign was not a part of although all discussions regarding the rules and negotiations were supposed to include both sides.
"The affidavit also says Harris was provided with sample questions that, while not the exact questions that would be asked, nevertheless “covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.”
"There were also issues that could not be raised – Joe Biden’s health; Harris’ performance as San Francisco’s district attorney; her brother-in-law and “key campaign adviser” Tony West, who allegedly “fleeced taxpayers for billions to give to left-wing groups and lawyers” – since they would reflect poorly on Harris.
“ 'I have observed a pronounced bias against Donald Trump within ABC News,” the affiant continues, while also noting “many” ABC employees “questioned the clear bias that is well known throughout the company.”
"The network denies the charges, which is expected. It’s not going to issue a statement that says, “Yeah, you caught us, we cheated for the Democrats.”
Speaking of Gavin Newsom...
Poll of California Voters Reveals Headspinning Contradictions – but They're Clear About Gavin Newsom
"A new Fox News poll of California voters will leave you scratching your head and thinking, “Is there something in the water out there?” The results make little sense, are contradictory, and show an electorate that does a lot more “feeling” than “thinking.' ” . . .
"Take, for example, Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom. Unbelievably, 55 percent of those surveyed approved of his job performance despite the state being a laughingstock to the rest of the country, with many residents fleeing as fast as they can.
"So you might think that looks good for the elegantly coiffed governor – but wait: Fifty-four percent say Newsom should not run for president in 2028. Make it make sense!
"Proving, however, that there are still some functioning brain cells on the left coast, a whopping 68 percent are smart enough to know that Kamala Harris shouldn’t run again for the top job." . . .
The schizophrenic voters were not done, of course. They mostly panned Trump and his policies, but it doesn’t seem as if they’re all that thrilled with how California is going either. To wit, 62 percent have a negative view of the state’s economy, only 17 percent felt that they were “getting ahead” financially, 84 percent consider the cost of living where they live as “unaffordable,” and 80 percent consider crime to be “a problem.” And yet they approve of Newsom’s job performance. Absolute insanity.
Nov 4th: Chain reaction: California's big gerrymandering bill prompts red states to gerrymander back
"Millions of Californians will be disenfranchised purposefully if Prop 50 passes."If you vote for this scheme, you are not the good guy in this story. pic.twitter.com/HoMZaQID9p— OC Republicans (@OCGOP) November 4, 2025
. . ." Expect the secession movement to join Idaho and western Oregon flare up again. For them, it's the new era of unresponsive government. As Democrat frontrunner for governor, Katie Porter said earlier, she doesn't need votes from Trumpers to win office, so she won't bother trying to get them.
"Meanwhile, down south, the back boonies of San Diego will lose their able and popular representation in Rep. Daryl Issa in favor of the thirty-something leftist grandson of a Black September terrorist mastermind -- one of the monsters who executed the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre -- whom he has yet to denounce; a man he has called 'a legend.' It's already been decided.
"That's all because he's the live-in boyfriend of radical left-wing Rep. Sara Jacobs, who has a lot of inherited money, and no significant work experience other than her seat in Congress. She hangs with 'the squad' and you can bet he will, too.
"Neither of this pair has any interest, or ties, to the districts they purportedly represent, and in fact, both have flitted around seeking different offices in different districts until Jacobs found one that stuck -- in my own district, which is already gerrymandered, independent commission or not." . . .
Replacing the gerontocracy with an infantocracy
"Taking Congress next year will make it worse for Democrats because it will put Jeffries in charge of the House—a child who cannot take a meme of him in a sombrero. My point is simple. The gerontocracy is a problem for Democrats. An infantocracy is an existential threat."
"New York magazine decided that maybe the problem Democrats have is their congressmen and senators are too darned old. The party needs a new wave of young people who will save the United States from being great again.
"The trouble with going younger is the infantilism of the replacements. Say what you may about Nancy Pelosi, she plays hardball. Hakeem Jeffries cannot play T-ball because the sombrero keeps getting in the way. It’s so unfair.
Last year’s election debacle, rooted in the rapid decline of the then-81-year-old Joe Biden, took a heavy toll on New Hampshire congresswoman Annie Kuster. “It was the most painful thing I’ve been through since my own parents aging,” she said of her up-close experiences with the former president. “Nobody wants to face incapacity.” It forced Kuster to look hard at her party. Months before the fateful presidential debate that exposed Biden’s frailty, Kuster, at a mere 68 years old, announced her retirement, having served in Congress for 12 years after turning a red seat reliably blue. Though fit and healthy, she was feeling her age on some issues. “We were dealing with AI, cryptocurrency,” she said of her work on the Energy and Commerce Committee. “I am not the person best situated to be dealing with these issues. I did my best to learn, but it’s just time for us to move over.”
"You might say this term is Kuster’s last stand.
"She told Traister, “People keep asking, ‘What’s wrong with the Democrat Party? What’s the right message?’ They act like there are magic words. And it’s like, it’s not a question of just getting the right words. It’s that we are too freaking old.”
"Democrats did not complain about a gerontocracy when Biden was president. Now, well, they are trying to go young. That makes sense, except look at who they are bringing up—overeducated people with no visible means of support." . . .
Jewish FDNY commissioner hands in resignation — morning after anti-Israel Zohran Mamdani elected mayor

"New York City’s Jewish fire commissioner Robert Tucker handed in his resignation first thing Wednesday — just one day after anti-Israel Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was elected, The Post has learned.
"Tucker, a Jewish philanthropist and businessman, will step down from the role he has held for just over 12 months on Dec. 19, sources said.
"He will go back to running the private security firm, T&M, which he headed before joining Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, the sources added." . . .
". . . "He’s also been involved in various charitable endeavors, including serving as secretary of the FDNY Foundation, and has received honors from the New York Board of Rabbis and Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City.
"His Jewish faith was clear when his father held a copy of the Tanach – the Hebrew bible – for his swearing in, according to the Jewish News Syndicate. It was the same bible that was reportedly used for his bar mitzvah." . . .
Mamdani winning in NY means antisemitism can win elections, would impact Jews globally "Every Jew across the world has been following New York City’s mayoral election, although it may be far away from where they live. By early Wednesday morning Israel time, we will probably know who won this mayoral race held on Tuesday, with results expected soon after polls close in the US.
"According to The Jerusalem Post’s election-day brief, “Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa face off as New York City polls open,” and “the city’s Jewish community has been divided in its support of Mamdani.”
"Regardless of whether Mamdani wins, this election period in New York has caught the attention not only of the Jewish world but of the world at large. Its effects will be felt far beyond New York City.
"Mamdani has been called a “raging antisemite, a terrorist sympathizer, an ardent socialist, and a polarizing figure” – language that reflects why the campaign has become a global story.
"Mamdani’s own words have amplified concerns. In a 2021 clip resurfaced in the Post coverage, he said co-founding Bowdoin’s SJP chapter and anti-Israel BDS activism were the “crux of the reason” he joined the Democratic Socialists of America." . . .
. . . "If he wins, this is a clear message for the Democratic Party: Antisemites can lead; they are no longer in the margins. This means that being a supporter of a boycott of Israel – not just West Bank goods but also sovereign Israel – is normal."This means that globalizing the intifada, as he calls it, is a relevant call for destroying the only Jewish state in the world, while dozens of Arab and Muslim states already exist."Mamdani, though, created a counter-effect and united most of the Jewish community – including Reform Jews and Orthodox Jews, young and old – around this cause. Unfortunately, we needed a Mamdani to make that happen." . . .
Linda Sarsour: Mamdani's biggest financial backer is Council on American–Islamic Relations
"Pro-Mamdani super PAC New Yorkers for Lower Costs “took $100,000 from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Unity and Justice Fund, an organization whose leader said that he was, quote, ‘happy about October 7th,’” he said in October, according to Politico."
Mamdani Poses 'Clear and Immediate Threat' to NYC's Jews
"There is a clear and immediate threat to Jewish institutions and synagogues, most of which are secured by the New York Police Department," Akunis said. "These include those that have been targeted by these demonstrators in the past."
