New York's embattled mayor Eric Adams has ended his campaign
for re-election last Sunday, but he really should have done it before
now. The Big Apple would have had a realistic chance of defeating
the socialist, some would say communist, mayoral candidate
Zohran Mamdani. He's so far left that he makes former mayor
Bill De Blasio look like GOP mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Mayor Adams had given his all in vying for another term, but has
polled dangerously low against the rest of the field of candidates.
He now is in single-digits (!) running as an independent, having
shed his Democrat party label.
His best move as mayor was to appoint Jessica Tisch as police
commissioner. She's worked to reinstate "broken windows"
policing; intolerance for minor crimes while also focusing on high-
crime neighborhoods. Voters are now left with former Gov
Andrew Cuomo, also running as an independent; the Democrats'
nomination has been sewn up by Mamdani. Republican pick
and past mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, founder of the crime
fighting group "The Guardian Angels", will need a miracle worthy
of informing the Pope about.
A Mamdani victory will mean that New York, regarded as the financial
capital of the world, the home of Wall Street, and a mighty banking
citadel, will succumb to frighteningly higher taxes, rent freezes,
government-run grocery stores (no, really! Mamdani has promised
this, making it a plank in his campaign platform), and more crime
aided and abetted by pro-crime, pro-criminal officials.
And don't think he'll be any friend to the Jewish citizens of New York;
he's made his pro-Hamas sympathies well-known. He'll certainly be a
friend to the teacher's unions, as he is vehemently against charter
schools.
There's an old saying in politics that states that in elections voters get
the government they deserve. If New York's voters elect Mamdani,
and chances are excellent that they will, they're going to get precisely
that very government. Your head-shaking Peasant hopes they will be
happy.
