We knew Zohran Mamdani was going to win, and it was to all our horror. At the same time, we deserve to lose that race. If the best we could muster to fight Mamdani’s leftist clown show is Eric Adams, Curtis Sliwa, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, we deserve to get creamed. Mamdani, like most of the races last night, was declared the winner quickly. He wasn’t at the victory party initially, opting to stay home and watch the returns with his family, but someone did hijack the screen with a hilarious post that read, “Trump is your president,” which drew boos from the crowd.

Socialist Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani Declares War on President Trump, Capitalism, and Traditional America in Radical New York City Victory Speech
The radical left’s takeover of America’s largest city is complete, and it comes with open attacks on President Donald Trump, capitalism, and even the very foundations of Western civilization.
Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist” and the first Muslim mayor-elect of New York City, delivered a fiery, Marxist-tinged victory speech that sounded less like an American mayor and more like a disciple of Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Eugene Debs rolled into one.
Mamdani not only quoted socialist Eugene Debs but also invoked Jawaharlal Nehru, the Marxist “founding father” of socialist India, who “crushed Hindus and empowered Jihadis.”
Mamdani also declared his intention to “freeze rents,” make “buses fast and free,” and bring “universal childcare” to New York — an agenda right out of a socialist manifesto.
Calling himself a “Muslim democratic socialist,” Mamdani celebrated toppling what he called “a political dynasty” and said his victory marked the “dawn of a better day for humanity.”
He vowed to make New York a city where “the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.”
Translation: higher taxes, more regulation, and open hostility toward landlords, small businesses, and anyone daring to succeed under the free market.
Mamdani couldn’t finish his remarks without unleashing a tirade against President Trump, the city’s most famous native son.
“If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him,” he boasted, “It is the city that gave rise to him.”
He went on to mock Trump and his supporters as “billionaires and bosses who seek to extort workers,” calling his administration “a despot” and promising that “to get to any of us, you’ll have to get through all of us.”
NYC polling locations swatted: report
New York City polling locations for the mayoral race in the Big Apple were reportedly hit with swattings on Election Day, with hours to go for in-person voting. This comes after there were bomb threats sent to polling locations in New Jersey earlier in the morning as well.
According to a report from the New York Post, the FBI and other authorities are investigating swatting incidents, which include a polling site in Harlem, New York. Authorities are probing the emails, which were sent to election workers.
An NYPD source told the New York Daily News, “We believe it’s an elaborate swatting attempt. The emails make terroristic threats.”
Polling sites have not been shut down in response to the swatting emails, but the emails were reportedly sent between 6 am and 9:30 am to the Board of Elections, and workers opened up the email in Harlem Greenwich, Village, and Midtown East.
The threat in the email was deemed “not credible” by the NYPD, per the outlet. The emails were similar to the emails that were sent to muliple school locations where polls were set to take place in New Jersey. At least seven polling locations were hit with bomb threats in New Jersey, sparking some closures, however, the New Jersey attorney general said that each location was secured, and voting will proceed.
The emails did not reference the candidates in the election, the outlet said, but socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani made comments in reference to the bomb threats in New Jersey after they became publicized, where he also blamed President Donald Trump.
He said that the bomb threats were “part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country.”
There have not been disruptions at the polling locations in New York unlike the initial disruptions in New Jersey that resolved with hours. The seven counties in New Jersey that saw bomb threats included Bergen County, Essex County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County, and Passaic County.
Explosive report claims a network of charities connected to George Soros funneled $40M to support Zohran Mamdani’s political rise in tax-dodging scheme
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is facing explosive allegations that it benefited from tens of millions of dollars in donations funneled from George Soros-linked charities as part of an elaborate scheme that may have violated federal tax laws.
The 34-year-old State Assemblyman’s team has always claimed that he rose from obscurity to become New York City‘s mayoral front-runner thanks to an organic, grassroots movement involving many small donations and hundreds of young people with backpacks canvassing on his behalf.
But the Daily Mail can reveal that that narrative is now being called into question according to a report from a watchdog website.
The findings, from conservative investigative site White Collar Fraud, alleged that a network of tax-exempt organizations connected to billionaire financier Soros shrewdly coordinated political and ground operations to support Mamdani in a scheme that involved laundering more than $40million in charitable donations through nonprofits and redirecting them into political activity.
Soros’s group disputes the report’s findings of improprieties, saying it is ‘riddled with inaccuracies, false assumptions and misinformation’.
‘The math isn’t the only thing that doesn’t add up,’ a spokesman for the Open Society Foundation – that was founded by Soros and is now headed by his 40-year-old son Alex, told the Daily Mail.
‘The grants it cited – many of which we were earmarked for specific projects and causes elsewhere around the country as we have disclosed – were made years before the mayoral race even began.’
But White Collar Fraud investigator Sam Antar told the Daily Mail Soros-affiliated entities may have violated federal tax laws. Antar has filed 11 whistleblower complaints with the Internal Revenue Service as a result of his investigation.
Zohran Mamdani Says He Will Defend Illegal Aliens’ Right to Live in NYC
Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani says he will defend the rights of illegal aliens to live in New York City against President Donald Trump.
During a press conference this week, Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, was asked about the potential of Trump having Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conduct raids across New York City as well as possibly sending in the National Guard.
In response, Mamdani attacked Mayor Eric Adams (D) and said he would fight for the city’s sanctuary policy that bans the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from working with ICE agents to arrest and detain even the most violent illegal aliens.
“I will not be the mayor that we have today who went on national television and opened the door to civil immigration enforcement,” Mamdani said. “I will be the mayor that stands up for our sanctuary city policies, that stands up for every New Yorker’s right to live in this city, and the mayor who will hold everyone accountable to the law, no matter who they are.”
Months ago, Mamdani suggested that his administration would go even further than the city’s sanctuary policy, though he was unclear on the details.
“The Trump administration is waging war on the First Amendment and our constitutional rights as it continues to abduct New Yorkers from across our city,” Mamdani said. “Any effort to cooperate with these efforts is a moral stain on our city. We should strengthen our sanctuary city laws.”
Foreign Election Interference? UK Leftists Campaign For Mamdani In NYC Race
A member of the United Kingdom’s parliament announced Sunday that he was campaigning on behalf of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
Independent Member of Parliament for Islington North Jeremy Corbyn posted on X that he was “hosting a phone bank” with the Democratic Socialists of America “to Get Out The Vote for” Mamdani.
“Let’s get Zohran over the finish line for a New York that’s affordable for all!” Corbyn posted on X.
The Federalist’s CEO and co-founder Sean Davis pointed out that Corbyn was engaging in “literal foreign election interference on behalf of a Ugandan Muslim who wants to ‘globalize the intifada’ in America’s largest city.”
Notably, Corbyn once decried President Donald Trump for allegedly interfering in Britain’s elections.
In a June 1, 2019, post, Corbyn posted to Twitter: “President Trump’s attempt to decide who’ll be Britain’s next PM is an entirely unacceptable interference in our democracy. The next PM should be chosen not by the US president … but by the British people in a general election.”
A second Corbyn post just a few months later said: “Donald Trump is trying to interfere in UK election to get his friend Boris Johnson elected.”
Perhaps Corbyn’s election interference is unsurprising. Corbyn, much like the Democratic Socialists of America and other far-left activists, sees himself as part of a globalist movement in which national borders are obstacles that must be erased in order to achieve a global socialist agenda. Corbyn’s phone banking makes that clear. And it makes sense: Mamdani himself sees elections, no matter how “local,” as just a battlefield in a global ideological struggle. It’s exactly why Mamdani refuses to condemn calls for globalizing the intifada.
Globalists like Corbyn and Mamdani see no difference between London and New York, or Gaza and Manhattan. These are merely different fronts of the same fight, which is why Corbyn has no problem interfering in our elections.
Obama Privately Endorses Communist Zohran Mamdani in Phone Call and Offers Him Political Support
Former President Barack Obama has privately endorsed the mayoral campaign of Zohran Mamdani, a communist, in New York City.
According to The New York Times, Obama called Mamdani for around half an hour, during which time he praised his campaign and offered him political support.
Their report states:
Former President Barack Obama called New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, praising his campaign and offering to be a “sounding board” into the future.
The private, roughly 30-minute phone call, which has not previously been reported, was described by two people who participated or were briefed immediately on what had been said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private conversation.
Mr. Obama said that he was invested in Mr. Mamdani’s success beyond the election on Tuesday. They talked about the challenges of staffing a new administration and building an apparatus capable of delivering on Mr. Mamdani’s agenda of affordability in the city, the people said.
The former president’s outreach on the eve of what has been a contentious election is notable, given how divided the Democratic establishment has been over Mr. Mamdani and the role that Mr. Obama still plays in the party.
Judge Delivers Blow to Letitia James in Mortgage Fraud Case
A federal judge on Friday denied Letitia James’ request to force federal prosecutors to turn over all of their communications with the media after it was reported that Lindsey Halligan was exchanging text messages with a Lawfare reporter.
A couple of weeks ago, US Attorney Lindsey Halligan exchanged Signal messages with Lawfare reporter Anna Bower.
It is not unusual for a prosecutor to communicate with the press.
Lindsey Halligan pushed back on Anna Bower’s reporting in her exchange.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” the first message to Anna Bower read. “You are reporting things that are simply not true. Thought you should have a heads up.”

Letitia James asked Judge Walker to force the DOJ to keep a log of all communications with the press.
The judge delivered a blow to Letitia James.
Judge Jamar Walker, a Biden appointee, said Letitia James did not demonstrate that it is necessary for the court to force the DOJ to track communications with the media.
The New York Post reported:
The judge overseeing Letitia James’ mortgage fraud case on Friday denied a motion from the New York attorney general attempting to force federal prosecutors to keep a log of all their communications with the media.
Defense attorney Abbe Lowell filed the motion last week, when James was arraigned on bank fraud and false statements charges, in response to a report that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan sent a flurry of encrypted Signal messages about the case to a reporter.
“[T]he defendant does not demonstrate that it is necessary for the Court to order the government to track communications with the media in any particular form,” US District Judge Jamar Walker wrote in his six-page order.
“The defendant’s request that the government be required to keep a communication log is DENIED,” the Biden-appointed judge ruled.
Walker noted that Halligan’s Signal chat with Lawfare senior editor Anna Bower earlier this month was “unusual” but he declined to offer an opinion “on whether they were improper in any sense, either legal or ethical.”
James was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia last month.
Nonprofit Executive Caught Instructing Illegal Alien to Vote in NYC Mayoral Election
The O’Keefe Media Group on Friday released an undercover video of a nonprofit executive instructing an illegal alien to vote in the New York City Mayoral race.
La Jornada Executive Director Pedro Rodriguez told the OMG undercover journalist posing as an unregistered illegal to “vote for the guy that starts with ‘M’.”
Rodriguez instructed the ‘illegal migrant’ to vote for Mamdani, a Communist Muslim born in Uganda who is running against former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Zohran Mamdani is a far-left radical who openly admits he will raise property taxes based on skin color – specifically, white people.
“Rodriguez acknowledges knowing the individual is “not registered” before advising him how to vote – a potential violation of federal and state election laws,” the O’Keefe Media Group said.
The O’Keefe Media Group noted that nonprofits are prohibited from participating in any political campaign.
According to New York AG Letitia James: “Charitable organizations, including houses of worship that receive a tax exemption pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), are prohibited from participating in any political campaign on behalf of a candidate for public office.”
This includes: “Making statements in support of, or in opposition to, a candidate or a political party, whether orally, recorded, or in writing, including by in-person distribution, mail, email, text, or posting on social media or the internet;”
INSANITY: Zohran Mamdani Plans to Tax Companies Even if They LEAVE New York City
One question that keeps coming up about Zohran Mamdani’s socialist fever dream for New York City, is how he is going to pay for all of the free stuff that he’s planning to give away.
This becomes especially complicated when you consider that some wealthy people and companies will flee the city if he becomes mayor.
Mamdani apparently has a plan for that. He is going to try to tax companies even if they leave the city. It’s not exactly clear how he plans to enforce this insane idea.
Townhall reports:
We suppose the silver lining of New York electing an avowed Democratic Socialist as mayor is that we’ll get to see how disastrous his socialist policies really are, and that’ll discourage the rest of the nation from voting for socialism. But we won’t pretend that learning that lesson will be hard, especially for the people of New York who didn’t vote for Mamdani.
In his latest tax-grab scheme, Zohran Mamdani vows to tax businesses that leave New York and, it seems, any company that merely does business in New York, even if they’re headquartered elsewhere.
“So the way that this tax works is it applies to any business doing business here. They could be located in Miami, but if they’re doing business in New York, it applies to them,” Mamdani said.
This policy proposal is insane. So insane, in fact, we don’t even know how to wrap our heads around it. That’s hundreds of thousands of businesses, including international ones.
In what world does any of this make sense?
