If you hope to appeal to the average voter, the last thing a candidate should be doing is throwing around a basketball, promising things that don’t make sense. But that is precisely what several New York Democrats did, as they beg voters to cast their ballots in their favor, as the election is on June 21.

The ad starts with Mayor Zohran Mamdani claiming “anything is possible with a great team,” right before passing the ball to Brad Lander. Lander claims he will block billionaires from buying elections. It is unclear how he will have the power to prevent people from doing that, but that is because it is just another leftist lie to give people hope that their vote matters. He claims this will protect Democracy. However, for some reason, whenever the left claims to be fighting for Democracy, it almost always seems to destroy it. Why do you think that is?

Lander then passed the ball to Darializa Avila Chevalier, who claims she will defend New York by abolishing ICE. It is not known how you can defend the people of your city by fighting for foreign nationals who have broken federal immigration laws, but that is because you cannot. By pretending to fight for New Yorkers, she has proven who she truly intends to represent, and it certainly is not you — the American people. But what else is new?

May Day demonstrations have spread across the United States, increasingly serving as vehicles for hostility toward American institutions and values. Those who celebrate these demonstrations should confront the lived reality of people from former communist countries—individuals who were not free participants but were forced each May 1, like prodded cattle, to march with their children in orchestrated displays of loyalty to party power. Refusal was not dissent; it was a punishable offense that could cost one’s livelihood, freedom, or even life.

Last week, the sign outside the Victims of Communism (“VOC”) Museum in Washington, D.C., was vandalized by a radical mob celebrating May Day and embracing communist ideology—an incident documented by the VOC Memorial Foundation, which shared photographic evidence on its official social media channels. This act was disgraceful—but not surprising. The VOC LinkedIn announcement states: “The VOC Museum teaches the violent truth about communism. That’s why we are never surprised when Marxists threaten us and vandalize our schoolhouse—they want to stop our mission.”

The Trump administration has launched an investigation into New York City Public Schools over allegations that pro-Hamas activism by educators may have crossed the line into anti-Semitic instruction targeting Jewish students.

The probe was launched over allegations that teachers sought to sow “hatred toward Jewish students” during classroom instruction.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights confirmed it opened the probe after receiving complaints that teachers were promoting political messaging in classrooms and portraying Israel supporters as “genocidal white supremacists.”

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani branded Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “cruel and inhumane” after about 200 anti-ICE agitators rioted outside a New York City hospital Saturday night where a criminal illegal alien with previous arrests was being held.

Whistle-blowing, profanity-spewing rioters damaged several ICE vehicles and assaulted ICE officers, resulting in minor injuries, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“They [ICE] do nothing to serve in the interest of public safety, and I’ve said that even directly to the president,” the Communist NYC mayor told Gothamist reporter Liam Quigley on Sunday when asked about the melee.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reiterated his commitment to socialism over the weekend when pressed on a funding shortfall that could prevent him from carrying out some of his top priorities.

“I believe in it even more than I did the day before [the election], and that’s because of the fact that it is focused on the needs of working people,” Mamdani said during an NBC Meet the Press interview released Saturday. “And working people need that focus, that fight from politicians more than ever.”

Mamdani was questioned about how he plans to carry out his hopes of freezing the rent on roughly one million apartments in the country’s largest city, as well as making buses free and providing free universal child care, despite facing a $5.4 billion budget deficit. In response, the mayor said he has already made significant progress in closing the budget gap, and touted Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) proposal for a new tax on residents who own second homes in New York City that are worth $5 million or more as a policy that will advance his goals.

Barack Obama met with Zohran Mamdani for the first time on Saturday at a childcare center where the former Democratic US president and mayor of New York City read to preschoolers and led a sing-along.

The meeting comes as Mamdani, a democratic socialist who marked his 100th day in office just over a week earlier, is also trying to build a working relationship with Donald Trump – Obama’s Republican presidential successor.

Obama and Mamdani did not take questions after reading the book Alone and Together to the children – and leading a sing-along of The Wheels on the Bus.

Obama, a standard-bearer for the Democratic party, has offered to be a sounding board for Mamdani, 34. Mamdani’s star power, youth and progressive agenda has made him stand out in Democratic politics.

We told you that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would be bad, and the democrat socialist has proven to be as terrible or perhaps even worse than we warned.

He’s continued his antisemitic rhetoric and demeaning of police, wants to tax the wealthy out of existence (or at least, out of the state), and is striving to make DEI great again — just what nobody needs.

On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Trump could probably build a dozen of these for $30 million. Why so much? Union wages play a part, but that doesn’t explain it all, considering Mamdani had earlier promised five stores for a mere $70 million:

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.
