New York Mayors Race

This point is the pivotal difference between liberals and conservatives and always will be. Excellent point sir. And liberals have gone one step further in assuming that no one is capable of navigating this world without them and their virtue. If you have somehow become successful, in their eyes, it’s because you were privileged. Complete dependency on government is not building people up, it’s destroying their will and desire to succeed.
This is objectively stupid, my lord man, get out and meet some people different from you because I assure you that you wouldn't be this histrionic if you knew more liberals.
 
It’s an interesting dynamic. The euros are certainly more conditioned to support entitlements and many elements from the left, but they also fully realize that the American system and culture creates more drive, more achievement and more innovation.

I have had members of my ELT from Paris, Italy and Portugal and have spent a lot of time with them. The guy from Paris talked about how the government will basically support you for two years if you lose your job. A guy from Portugal talked to me about how limited economic growth is, ie one generation may take a small step up from the prior generation, but the real achievement available in America isn’t available there.

How do those characteristics impact motivation? Not in a good way, for sure. Fear of failure is a motivator. Unlimited financial opportunity is a motivator.

It’s also clear that they have real issues and concerns about their own governments, national health systems, etc. It’s not as if their philosophy on government has resulted in an ideal system.

This all ties into my core political beliefs. I’m not a MAGA and didn’t vote for Trump in either primary. But I also cannot support any democrat under their current direction.

I fundamentally believe in limited government, personal responsibility/accountability, limited entitlements and not having a huge amount of what you earn taken from you to be squandered on government programs. Democrats generally want to expand government, offer more entitlements and want to raise my taxes. It’s just a hard no from me on all fronts, and my experience with the Europeans has reinforced that.

You should just go ahead and be grateful for President Trump and quit pandering to the loony libs. You agree with 90 plus percent of what Trump does from your post history I would say so its lame to slander him imo. Do you think Nikki or any other establishment or rino would be accomplishing what Trump has in a short period?

Imagine thinking that legit discourse between differing ideologies is bad, and everyone should shut up and blindly follow a demagogue. That's literally everything wrong with America in 2025
 
as a center right Republican, this is good news. I mean, I HOPE these are the kind of candidates that the DNC put up for national elections.

As unpopular as Trump is, this guys platform and the entire “progressive” ideology is even more unpopular to middle/moderate/undecided America.

With that said … let’s not make a mountain of a mole hill here.

I will also say, that I was in NYC this past weekend for Fanatics Fest. My first time to NYC since 2019. The city was much cleaner and felt safer than any of my past visits. On Sunday they closed huge sections of 6th Avenue and there were street vendors setup with all kinds of goods and foods. It was really neat.

There were also far less homeless people than I recall in past visits.

I mean … I was only there for 2 days, but based on just my basic observation … looks like Mayor Adams is doing a great job 🤷‍♂️

Where did I slander him? I just said I didn't vote for him in the primaries.

I didn't say legit discourse was bad at all. I chat on here with you libs on a regular basis.

Fine. Maybe I'm remembering back too far. You didn't overtly criticize him in this thread. You say you are not MAGA though but yet you apparently support almost every plank of the platform. Might as well proudly be MAGA instead of straddling the fence imo.
 
I'm so glad a communist Muslim will be the mayor of racistville i mean new york it about time those racists white people paid their fair share!!!

State run grocery stores.

Grocery stores operate at about a 1.5% margin. There is almost no chance the government can provide cheaper groceries without subsidization. Also called a tax.

I laughed when I saw that the city of New York was going to operate grocery stores.

It will fast become bread lines and starvation based on how good governments run operations like that.

I can see Samaritans Purse with Franklin Graham having to step in and feed the remaining population of NY

I am all in favor of this as until you have suffered or experienced something you don’t totally understand the why

Wait til you hear the mental gymnastics they go through to support this ideology.

The Black Population in America today is enjoying the huge REPARATIONS BY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS today

There are huge amounts of Latino and White folks who suffer from a lack of opportunity snd education

Its sad that the focus and spotlight is only shined on helping Black population when it should be more equitable not based on skin color but on all people needing a hand up

These entitlement programs have huge numbers of outright fraud and abuse. The problem is the system essentially rewards people for not doing their fair share. I’ve seen countless stories of a person not getting a job for fear of losing their section 8 housing. I’ve seen stories where parents discourage children from working for fear of losing entitlement benefits. That’s not helping, that’s downright socialism. These programs were designed to help citizens while they’re down or going through a rough patch, not to become the sole source of income and their occupation. The current system is a disaster. It’s ridiculous that hard working, tax paying citizens are expected to subsidize millions of people. Especially considering the people they’re subsidizing have it so good, they’ll do (or not do) anything to keep that government check coming. There’s so many more productive and responsible ways to actually help people yet liberals prefer the handout system mainly for votes.

Not confirmed but interesting in a bad way.



GPS—puts Zohran Mamdani at Barack Hussein Obama II’s War Room twice in 6 weeks. Also present were leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood and what certainly appears to be two Iranian MOIS operatives, very likely IRGC Unit 840.

Both are physically linked to Majid Dastjani Farahani, having meet Farahani in Venezuela in June 2024, with the timing, they very likely were discussing the ass@ssination of President Trump.

These were the same operatives who were regularly is the company of fake federal agents with every agency from the Department of Homeland Security, to the U.S. Marshals, Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali. One was Pakistani intelligence while the other was Iranian. See the first comment below.

It’s unfortunate most Americans do not fully understand just how evil Barack Hussein Obama II is. Obama is 💯 a terrorist.

Obama’s War Room is located at 2446 Belmont Rd NW, Washington, DC 20008 and just a short 4 minute stroll away from the Islamic Center of Washington D.C.

Do you really believe that was just a coincidence?

SERIOUSLY?

If there were any legit journalists they’d be reporting all of the comings and goings at Michelle’s War Room since Thursday?

Anyone that doesn’t admit Barack is in charge is either ignorant or lying.

I said previously, Barack Obama is the most powerful man in the Democratic Party. Period. End of story. He is a radical Islamic and the actual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Welcome to literally how the majority of the world feels about MAGA.
That's how we know we're doing it right.

I've traveled the world for the better part of the last 30 years...all over North America, the northern part of South America, various parts of Europe, Middle East, Northern Africa, East Asia. Just this year I've been to Italy and Australia. Those friggin people can have it! No one does it better than we do here in America. Facts.

Can't like this enough.
 


THREAT ALERT 🚨 Pakistanification of America!

If you think Zohran Mamdani is bad for NYC… You have no idea what’s coming.

What’s happening right now is not politics. It’s a coordinated ideological invasion. And no one is warning you.

While you're distracted, Pakistan’s former president, a loyal mouthpiece of radical Imran Khan and the radical PTI party, is touring U.S. mosques, rallying Pakistani Muslims to seize control of American government offices.

Yes, you read that right.

🗽 In Long Island, Dr. Arif Alvi told his crowd of "influential" Pakistani Americans:

“This is not a request — this is a demand from Pakistan. Your country needs you. Pakistan Zindabad!”

He urged them to unite, enter local U.S. politics, gain influence, and feed that power back to Pakistan.

This isn’t assimilation.

This is colonization - the Pakistanification of America.

They’ve already set up shop in Texas, where Alvi was welcomed at EPIC Mosque—run by jihadi cleric Yasir Qadhi—the same mosque pushing a Sharia-based Islamic city now under investigation.

And now they’ve set their sights on New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Michigan—every state, every city, every office.

📣 Who is monitoring this? Who is stopping this?

Why is a foreign leader allowed to travel freely across America pushing political loyalty to a jihad-exporting nation?

🇺🇸 It’s time to wake up.

This is an ideological war - and they’re playing for keeps.

Surely you don't agree with this quote, right? If so, do you mind elaborating on it.

"ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION, IT IS A POLITICAL IDEOLOGY THAT MASKS ITSELF AS A RELIGION. I HAVE NEVER WAVERED FROM THIS ISSUE."
 
I fundamentally believe in limited government, personal responsibility/accountability, limited entitlements and not having a huge amount of what you earn taken from you to be squandered on government programs.

Objectively, neither party satisfies these requirements. And trump is as far away from them as Bernie.

eh it’s like any other city - you have good pockets and bad pockets. I’ve lived in Houston for years and I can’t say I’ve ever noticed an illegal immigration problem. There’s bad neighborhoods here as well as good ones. Property taxes are brutal, but that’s bc there’s no income tax here.

That said, the good massively outweighs the bad imo. Though tbh the oppressive heat makes me want to move to the arctic circle
So a few years back when they found a truckload of dead illegals at a Walmart on the eastside, that cooked to death in the summer heat, you dont think thats problem?

Yes, I find that disgusting. It’s sad people are forced to sneak into the country in trucks and shipping containers because our legal immigration process is a multi year catastrophe.

Well it did save on airfare out of the U.S.
 
Yeah, I travel to Europe all the time for work/work for company based in Europe (but a global company) and let me tell ya- we're incredibly unpopular. What's worse is they think we're all stupid and lost our gd minds.



This checks out- you seem a fairly reasonable traditional republican/libertarian.

Why is it important that Europeans agree with you? Have you not seen the disaster that is the EU. The fact Europe disapproves of how we are doing things is a badge of honor. You should be proud.

The only problem they’ll have is that we didn’t have an open border to begin with. They don’t care about these people for the most part, they care about the optics of caring. People that truly care about stuff do things about it, they don’t demand that others waste their time and resources on it. People that care are actionable and not playing on message boards all day. Don’t waste your time with this. If this was as important as they claim all these guys would have third world immigrants living with them, providing jobs and housing, paying for their families, etc. Do you think one of them has lifted a finger? The answer is no. Hypocrites.
