Zohran Mamdani campaigned on a promise to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”. His tenant official Cea Weaver tweeted that she wanted to “impoverish the *white* middle class” because “homeownership is racist”, declared that “private property is a weapon of white supremacy” and warned that, “we’ll transition from treating property as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially will be impacted.” Now Mamdani has shown the first sign of implementing these systemically racist proposals. Hidden at the bottom of the first page of his proposals to increase revenue through various gimmicks and taxes is a call to increase the estate tax “by lowering the exemption to $750,000 from its current value of $7.1 million” and massively raising the “top rate from 16% to 50%.” Why specifically $750,000? Why is that the magic number? The proposal doesn’t explain but the demographics do: New Yor...

Different people believe in different things. Some believe that we go to paradise after we die. Others that we disappear into cosmic dust. But environmentalist prophet Paul Ehrlich believed mankind would be reduced to cannibalism unless we stopped having children. Right away. And Ehrlich never gave up hope of seeing cannibalism in his lifetime. In ‘The Population Bomb’, the 1968 bestseller that became one of the foundational texts of the environmentalist movement and helped inspire the population reduction industry, Ehrlich opened with the statement that “the battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” After going through a dozen printings, later editions postponed the mass deaths and Armageddons to a safely more ambiguous, at least for the era, time “the 1970s and 1980s”. It got less cheerful from there. “Will we be willing to slaughter our dogs and cats?” the book backed b...

14 days after a Muslim terrorist shot up a bar in Austin, 8 days after two Muslim terrorists threw IEDs at an anti-Islamization rally in New York City, 7 days after Muslim terrorists bombed the U.S. embassy in Sweden, 3 days after Muslim terrorists attacked a college in Virginia and a Jewish preschool in Michigan, and days after Muslim terrorists bombed a synagogue and school in the Netherlands, politicians marked the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’. The ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ was brought into being at the request of Pakistan, which harbored Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11, at the request of its former leader, Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, who had referred to Bin Laden as a “martyr”. Christians in Pakistan can be casually killed by Muslims or locked up by the regime if they are accused of the ‘Islamophobic’ crime of blasphemy. A year before ‘Taliban Khan’ and the United Nations gave us the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’, Paki...

A generation after the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, not only is a supporter of Islamic terrorism ensconced in Gracie Mansion, but the New York City Council is preparing to purge one of the few remaining critics of Islamic terrorism from its already depleted ranks. One of the five men convicted in the brutal rape of the Central Park jogger is a New York City councilman while another is running for his own spot on the council, but the City Council’s ethics committee is instead charging Councilwoman Vickie Paladino with “disorderly” behavior for criticizing Zohran Mamdani and his raft of appointees sympathetic to Islamic terrorism. The New York City Council Committee on Rules, Privileges, Elections, Standards and Ethics, whose members include 8 Democrats and only 1 Republican, has taken no action over the fact that a New York City Council employee, Rafael Bohorquez, turned out to be a criminal illegal alien who had been arrested for assault, but is charging a 71-year-old Re...

Gov. Gavin Newsom had helped set up a state government agency for his wife and then a quasi-government non-profit to which he has directed millions of dollars which in turn helped promote yet another non-profit that puts millions of dollars in the pockets of the Newsoms. That convoluted arrangement may explain why Newsom won’t turn over his tax returns. Gov. Newsom promised to be the first California governor to release his tax returns every year, but media outlets have been grumbling that the last time he released a tax return was quite a few years ago when he was legally required to because he was running for reelection. The questions got louder when he bought a $9 million house in addition to their $6 million house. The new 5,609 square foot estate comes with a spa, sculptures and Brazilian decks, and was bought from a member of the billionaire Pritzker clan, who have been one of Newsom’s major donors, and carries a $6.5 million mortgage with $600,000 in annual payments plus over ...

Tucker Carlson, who has defended Islam, Sharia law, Hamas and Hezbollah, flew into Israel for a few hours, only long enough to put out a fake claim that he was harassed by Israeli security (later disproven by video footage) and to berate Trump’s Ambassador Mike Huckabee with assorted Islamic propaganda, like his claim of a “Greater Israel”. The former FOX News talking head, who now seems to spend much of his time in the Muslim world and spoke of buying a home in the terrorist state of Qatar, has spent the last few years bringing on increasingly disreputable figures like Soros-funded UN official Jeffrey Sachs, George Stephanopoulos’s sister, and John Mearsheimer to push this particular lie. The premise of the lie is that Israel is starting wars to expand its territory across the Middle East. Knowing that Ambassador Huckabee is an evangelical Christian who believes in the literal truth of scripture, Tucker challenged him over the ‘from the Nile to the Euphrates’ in Genesis 15:18 as his i...

“Fear of deportation keeps Chicago Latino immigrants home from Mass,” the National Catholic Reporter claims. “Deportation fears add to mental health problems confronting Colorado resort town workers,” Colorado Newsline warns. “As Trump administration’s deportation policies sow fear, Hispanic businesses suffer,” the Beacon News contends. The coordinated nationwide media propaganda campaign paints a picture of a terrified Latino population afraid to leave the house because they’re afraid Trump’s men will lock them up. Tell the average liberal that 39% of Latinos are afraid that they or someone close to them will be deported and she’ll organize a rally outside the local Target or drive around Holiday Inn in an oversized SUV screaming “F___ ICE” faster than you can blow a whistle. There’s one problem… that statistic actually came from the Biden administration. The Biden administration was the friendliest to illegal aliens in history. It opened the border wide and allowed millions to fl...
