We live in Middle England.

We used to enjoy a trip to London - theatre / ballet / opera / fine dining.

We don't do that any more.

In 2016, our very own Mamdani was elected Mayor.

London is no longer safe to visit, particularly at night, particularly if one is white.

London's violent crime, knife crime, gun crime, serious crime - all up.

Hate Marches by thousands of Islamic supporters - all up.

Pakistani / Muslim rape gangs - he won't hold an enquiry . . .

Antisemitic violence - all up.

Antisemitism generally - all up.

Cost of everything - all up.

Congestion Charges - all up.

Emissions charges - all up.

And get this - even while things have visibly and statistically got worse and worse, this creature has now been elected three times. When you examine the demographics of our capital city - the answer is obvious.

Best of luck to you in the Big Apple - you're going to need it!

Behind the smile is a smirk. A smirk of derision and hate. Just like the Bronx Bartender who hates America

As usual, Josh, 100% on target. Mamdani is phony to the core. Awful for New York and for the Jewish community generally. 💪🏻⭐🙏🏻

Mamdani leads a movement of losers and those who cater to losers and it seems they outnumber the rest of us. The Jew-hatred was obvious, right out there front and center. And yet he won. It didn’t help that Sliwa (with Jewish children!) wouldn’t exit the race out out some narcissistic pride, nor that Coumo had a horrible history.

I’ll divide the losers into two overlapping camps. Yes, there are true Jew-haters, losers who identify with the fake ‘palestinians’, ignoring the fact that the latter’s plight is of their own making. I’m sure these losers project their own miserable lives on the ‘pals’ and blame the successful Jews for their own bad decisions. Then we have a huge number of mainly youngish folks who came to NYC to pursue their dreams, armed with their degrees in women’s studies, who simply cannot make it there (or probably anywhere, with apologies to Sinatra). They can’t afford to live in NYC but they won’t give up their pipe-dream and so the promise of free stuff (paid for by the “rich”) is too good to pass up. The losers won, but everyone lost. Especially the Jews of New York.

The problem is not only that this black- hearted man wears a phoney smile in order to disarm his future victims, it is also that so many are taken in by it because of their ignorance and self-flattery. This smile is another form of virtue signalling and of the lying to the enemy in order to get him to let down his guard. It is tragic that two generations of Americans are taken in by this, are unable to see through this. Previous generations taught their children not to take candy from strangers. That basic cautionary exercise has somehow been lost on two generations who have been indoctrinated to never grow up.

the Muslim brotherhood adopted Gramsci's "long march through the institutions" ages ago

Look to England to see where this is heading. The democratic party intends to run this jihad clown for president. they have long ago decided Islam will win and have lined up to make obescience. The Catholic church will usher in the Chrislam and then hey presto here I am living the book of revelation getting beheaded for breathing while Jewish by democrats and "Christians"..... I have seen the future babies, and it's murder.

Right on target. This is the new playbook. Wear a sheep mask and they'll let you in the pen.

This is greatest stratagem of the enemies of the West since Lenin invented the 'useful idiot.'

The frightening question is whether this is also the smile of the new Democratic Party. If it is, 2028 could be a reckoning for American Jews.

Agree completely - sheer madness - but it’s the Jewish community that is especially vulnerable.

What we see is a smile and a crooked neck. We cannot mind-read how President Trump will handle it. We know that Mamdani will need federal money and we know that President Trump already expressed that. That’s when it will start being interesting.

Fantastic article. It’s amazing how many people don’t know about taqquia.

Excellent essay! Let's see how long Jessica Tisch remains as NYPD Chief of Police. I'm guessing not long. Let's see if the NYPD actually attempts to arrest Netanyahu when he arrives in NYC for some UN or other event. One need only read the Jacobin to learn much about the politics and antisemitism emanating from the DSA.

Let's hope Trump was not fooled either.
