If you think NYC is a dumpster fire right now, just wait until this nutter becomes mayor! NYC will become a tire fire inside a garbage warehouse built on a volcano. The uber wealthy are already GTFO, wait until the plain wealthy decide to split.
Seriously. I was in NYC for a memorial service just before The Great Plague and I remember telling my husband that the place was one good blackout away from becoming Thunderdome.
I wish we had some insulation against cities and states that fund their own demise despite a plethora of warnings and opposition, then turn to the federal government for every American taxpayer to have to bail them out. I’ve been asked why I care so much not living in or near New York, and this is why. We need a “you’re on your own” law that states that short of natural disasters, any pickle you get your city or state into due to governance and policy will NOT receive a single cent from federal funds.
A friend’s single, 40-ish, blue voting daughter absolutely loves living in NYC. Her closet-sized apt eats most of her income but there is no way she will ever bail—that would be admitting defeat. I wonder how she will like living under socialism/communism.
When I think of this putz along with the looney left’s rallying behind hind him to things come to mind….FAFO and act in haste, repent in leisure. Don’t be surprised if NYC goes back to being the shit-hole that it was back in the late 60s - early 70s. You’ll know it’s really bad when the communist of the West Side start throwing fits. Personally it couldn’t happen to a nicer crowd. So grab your popcorn and enjoy the show. 🤦♀️
All I remember about him is chowing down that 'free hamburger' if you are a good boy or girl and take your shots.....the land of free is the land of the utterly insane.
It's astounding to me that New York City might actually leapfrog Toronto to become the most communist city in the west.
I know Canada is basically of no interest to Americans, except as an occasional irritant, like when one of our elected retards chooses to piss of your President (with the full knowledge and blessings of our Retard in Chief), but come on!!! We are right here! If you want to see what socialism does, in real time, just look north.
Thirty years ago, we were tied with Australia as the secondt wealthiest nations on earth, right behind the US. Today, our average annual income is almost down to 50% of the US average. We are, in real terms, poorer than Mississippi.
Oh it’s so bad here. You are absolutely right! Americans only need look north at our complete lack of prosperity, business hating regulatory structure, what truly is a (deranged and captured) nanny state, total government media ownership and control, Orwellian bills that are passed regularly in our parliament (seriously), all the while Canadians are focussing relentlessly on orange man bad (Carnage got in due to Canada‘s TDS— despite the fact that his party has been proven to be completely corrupt and has nearly bankrupted our country in the last ten years), appointed judges, unbelievable taxes, zombies given free drugs by our government forming tent cities in our parks and shooting up near our schools (drug use anywhere is a human right, apparently) and more idiotic regulations and hoops to jump through for the most basic things than you can possibly imagine.
I see now that we are definitely a test case for Agenda 2030 along with the other Commonwealth nations.
All of "upper NY" (which is to say, everything but the Island) pays exorbitant taxes to support the failed NYC. It failed a LOOOOONG time ago, and the ever increasing taxes for New Yorkers is the proof. Who would ever want to even visit NYC?
Because it's an amazing city - despite all its problems. It is a true melting pot that has managed to stay alive and exciting. Does it have serious problems? Of course. Is there an easy fix? Of course not.
You've got a point. Ultimately Dave, people have been misled about the potential for his ideas to actually get accomplished. I believe him to be dangerous on top of that given his support of Hamas. Anyone supporting a terrorist organization should be disqualified from holding any public office in America - in my opinion.
It may be amazing. I just remember that when I asked a date about what the apeal was, she replied that she could order 14 different kinds of food for delivery at 3 am. I was as puzzled then as I am to this day.
Ugh, haven’t been back since 2019 and have no intentions to return after the hellish summer of love mostly peaceful protests that the corrupt gov and mayor allowed to happen. They don’t care about you and never will lol. Oh and Make sure you have your jab passport ready for the next plandemic!
The Mandami phenomenon is the classic Communist Con. Create Chaos and then offer the Chaos Fix. The desperate and naive fall for it. And now they represent a majority of voters (legally or illegally). Adams and DeBlasio did a great job creating the Chaos.
I was hired into Long Beach in the 80s and escaped to Tucson the first chance I could get.
In general, any place that wants to attract people to live and work with do what they need to do to attract taxpayers, not repel them.
Places like LA, San Diego, SF, Seattle, Denver, believe so many people want to live there they can abuse them with high taxes and lousy service. This is why so many of these places now want illegal aliens as the taxpaying citizens have escaped.
Many years ago, a book called The Sovereign Individual predicted sovereign states will need to compete for sovereign individuals as many can live and work anywhere there is an internet connection.
Many wealthy people moved to Switzerland when they offered a fixed tax to live there.
5th generation NYC here. I watched the generations before me, including my mom and dad, get beaten down by an unseen battle. In the mid-70s, I couldn't wait to leave and hitch hiked to LA and 10 years later went south to what I still consider to be American Paradise. While I considered escaping to Costa Rica, Nashville or the Midwest during the pandemic, I realized that I would bring my mindset with me where ever I live. I changed my thinking, a serious undertaking at this late age, to PRACTICE gratitude and made a effort to ditch most of my 'friends', my church, my job, my workout studio, etc. (🧛🏼♀️I was anti-vax). I reasoned that I would have to make new friends where ever I went so I decided to find others (most of whom come from the Midwest) who ignore the bullshit and live beautiful lives justifying the nonsense with the joy of living in one of the most remarkable places in the USA. I simply couldn't give up the weather. Or the beauty.
Visiting NY, whether business or pleasure, is a whole different experience than living there. It's electric, like all great cities. Staying in a conveniently located, luxury hotel room, far away from the underbelly of the city, attending plays, going to museums, shopping, and people watching are amazing when one can actually take the time to do these things. Living there is a different experience for most. I was from a poorer family and as mentioned earlier, I watched my parents wrestle with the relentless struggle. Neither of them lived past 65, the stress was that intense.
This morning, as I approach my 65th birthday, I watch the sun rise over the canyon from my window, the hawks searching for breakfast, knowing the magnificent Pacific is just over the hill, I bow my head and give thanks to God, the Source of this Divine Creation. I'm grateful for the power He graciously gives to me, that I am able to tap into gratitude when a circumstance doesn't go my way.
Life is an amazing adventure and we have a lot of power over our thoughts.
We are all, magnificently created. Appreciate it. The next adventure awaits.
Likely the same thing that keeps most people in their 'comfortable' situation. Fear of the unknown future (anxiety) and its' evil twin, prisoners of the past. They had their own issues. But who really knows? I've made my own mess and I'm pretty grateful that it's been better than I could have planned.
I’m a Tucson native & it’s one of the bluest parts (along w/ the rest of Baja AZ) in the state. Run for decades by the grifting Grijalvas & current mayor Regina the Vagina Romero.
Tucson has many wonderful things to recommend it - not least the beautiful Sonoran desert, but it’s politically ruined by libtards (& a horrendous lack of foresight 60+ years ago to create a freeway system THROUGH town instead of around it!)
So you still live in Tucson?? We were there 3 years ago and couldn’t believe all the drug addicted homeless walking around, sleeping in the parks, at bus stops and behind gas stations. The cvs we were in was robbed 3 times in a row and the security guard just let them take what they wanted. Eating dinner downtown and we were continually harassed by the homeless :(
WA looks like it’s ready to elect even more far left big city ( Seattle) politicians. The last mayor wasn’t far left enough, so now with only 8% of voters taking the time to actually vote, they’re going communist. NYC is not alone.
I've visited New York city a number of times over the decades and there is a special place in my heart for it. Wherever you go out on the streets there, there's always a soap opera happening. New Yorkers are survivors, they have thick skin. They have no problem telling others how they REALLY feel about something. If you ever have a New Yorker talk to you and start a sentence with "Listen, honey..." it means you need to listen to them, because they have important information you need to heed. With all its problems, you have to love New York and New Yorkers, it's so full of life and the people who live there are extraordinary survivors.
New York is not just a city, it's its own planet and unlike any other place. As you say, Jenna, there's an electricity there.
I can't imagine communism coming to New York - New Yorkers have very strong opinions and I can't imagine them buckling under to anyone and that's what communism requires. "The State" (meaning the politicos) rules everything. I was in Soviet Union in 1977 for a month, and also 3 other communist countries. While there my appendix ruptured and I had to go to hospital in Moscow to have it removed. I saw communism up close and personal. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
It comes down to the lesser of 2 evils...Mamdani or Cuomo. Both Sliwa (a good guy but can't win) and Mamdani (who hates America) have zero experience managing anything. Even Michael Savage feels the New Yorkers have to hold their nose and vote for Cuomo just to stop the Commie-Islamic revolutionary.
Whoever thought that NYC could be "affordable" for the average Joe at any point in time? That's delusional. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere but it takes hard work and luck.
If Democrats can ruin NYC, they can ruin America anywhere.
Democrats are already known for increasing taxes and now comes a Communist to increase taxes even more...and people think that's a good thing to vote for...but they believe that the Commies are only taxing the "rich" to give to the poor...until they run out of rich people.
Some people are looking for ways to revoke his citizenship status and deport him because of his support for terrorists. First question on citizenship papers should be....How much do you hate the United States, our Constitution, Bill of rights and our Judeo-Christian Western heritage on a scale of 0-5...zero being not at all and 5 being I want to destroy/transform it because it's evil?
How to get them to answer that question honestly is the problem. Public comments and declarations they have made in the past should hold more weight than a questionnaire.
I was being facetious but, you would think that past history would automatically be evaluated for anyone applying to become a citizen. There may be (I hope) some questions if answered falsely and discovered after the fact could be grounds to revoke citizenship.
I do not think ZOHRON is going to have any ability to make any changes for NY.
I mean, he is not a king, right?
He is just a commie bloviator. Perhaps if Hollywood wants to really increase their popularity and make money again, they could create the Every Night Live from New York with Mamdani
"'Every Night Live from New York!' with Mamdani and His 40 Thieves"
Rosemary, a little long esp. after my bold, uninvited edits, but I am waiving the requirement to make sure this entry makes it into the Bumper Sticker of the Year contest.
(The way to play-at-home is to empty your mind enough to imagine you've never seen this BumpSti before, and you come upon it at a stoplight: "How does it make you feel?" Exactly! That's what makes it a contender!)
Robert, THERE. You've SAID it. THIS election is a plebiscite on New Yorkers' stupidity. Will they/Won't they elect a man of the same ilk that RAINED DESTRUCTION on their heads?!
As a former New Yorker myself, with a sweet coop in the West Village, I too am horrified by what's likely to happen. This is a man who supports the intifada. What could possibly go wrong? Of course it's understandable that the discouraged, disillusioned and unfulfilled young adults would think this is the best thing to happen since sliced cheese - but it's a horrifying reality that is doomed to fail. As you've so clearly noted, where would all the money come from for this free stuff? Does he even have a plan how to pay for everything that will be free?????? Other than blowing it out of his ass, it's an impossible dream - reminds me of "safe and effective".
Congrats on another book with Pierre Kory. You guys are a winning team. He brings the science and you lighten the horror with your delightfully witty sense of humor. I predict another best seller for sure!
Here's a horrifying idea: suppose the people being told "stuff" SHOULD be free and "the rich" have too much money, most of it ill-gotten, decide to connect the dots themselves and save the steps between taxing and redistributing?
I was thinking it's already literally been done to death. A few Communist revolutions come to mind. A little closer to home are the 'reparation' smash-and-grab mob-scenes.
If you think NYC is a dumpster fire right now, just wait until this nutter becomes mayor! NYC will become a tire fire inside a garbage warehouse built on a volcano. The uber wealthy are already GTFO, wait until the plain wealthy decide to split.

We need a “you’re on your own” law that states that short of natural disasters, any pickle you get your city or state into due to governance and policy will NOT receive a single cent from federal funds.
I like this idea too! I’m tired of paying my taxes to other anti Americans ie illegal immigrants and criminals. Enough already
Trump has already Shown the Way: "Sure, American taxpayers will help you out; let's talk about What Things of Yours They're Going to OWN Afterwards."
Actual "solutions" will be met with hellfire from the democrat party, but your suggestions are excellent!
A friend’s single, 40-ish, blue voting daughter absolutely loves living in NYC. Her closet-sized apt eats most of her income but there is no way she will ever bail—that would be admitting defeat. I wonder how she will like living under socialism/communism.
She’ll probably love it — at first. As long as the “free” stuff lasts, it will seem great.
i love this analogy 🤣
You certainly painted a picture there!
Options are looking bleak for upcoming NYC Mayor.
Door number 1: Cuomo, AKA: asbestos
Door number 2: Mamdani, AKA: lead paint (yet one more time)
Door number 3: Eric Adams, AKA: Dropout
But everyone loves NYC. The land of organized chaos.
When I think of this putz along with the looney left’s rallying behind hind him to things come to mind….FAFO and act in haste, repent in leisure. Don’t be surprised if NYC goes back to being the shit-hole that it was back in the late 60s - early 70s. You’ll know it’s really bad when the communist of the West Side start throwing fits. Personally it couldn’t happen to a nicer crowd. So grab your popcorn and enjoy the show. 🤦♀️
agree.
💯💯
I thought de Blasio was peak humiliation ritual, but apparently you can double infinity.
All I remember about him is chowing down that 'free hamburger' if you are a good boy or girl and take your shots.....the land of free is the land of the utterly insane.
Yes, big dork stuffing his face with a hamburger while selling the clot shot was peak cringe.
And delicious fries 🍟!! 🤮
Perhaps a milkshake would have convinced me? 😉
😜
Actually infinity can be raised to the power of infinity.
It's astounding to me that New York City might actually leapfrog Toronto to become the most communist city in the west.

Oh it’s so bad here. You are absolutely right!

We have failed.
Looks like we’re going to do a remake of Escape from NY with Snake Plissken.

i was told there's no fixing stupid

Never have and never will
Jenna - congrats to you and Pierre on the book launch. I tried to pre-order and couldn’t get past the checkout option.
A quote from Senator Ron Johnson on the cover. Wow!
I’m praying the polls are wrong in NYC. I feel for the people that will desperately want to move from their beloved city. Even if it is a hell hole. 😢
It's glitchy, give it a second it third go. I succeeded on the third. I suspect a mischief...
Yana - took me a few times, but was finally successful!
Ugh, I don't know WHY that is happening but I thank you for your support and tenacity! :)
Jenna’s readers may enjoy this great speech Dr.Kory gave in October 2025 to Alaskans For Personal Freedom: “The War On Ivermectin.” It is delightful to hear and watch this man’s one hour presentation. https://rumble.com/v70kmkm-dr.-pierre-kory-keynote-speaker-the-war-on-ivermectin.html
The Mandami phenomenon is the classic Communist Con. Create Chaos and then offer the Chaos Fix. The desperate and naive fall for it. And now they represent a majority of voters (legally or illegally). Adams and DeBlasio did a great job creating the Chaos.
...and afterwards, The Switch: "There never was any 'Fix'."
The way you describe NYC is the way I observed people in eastern Mass behave.
The people there are like lemmings, clogging roads to the beach on the Cape in summer and to NH to ski in winter.
A golden ticket is a government job with a pension so they can retire in FL.
The reporter and radio host Howie Carr still points out the absurdities in New England while doing is show from FL.
I was raised in SD on farm and the first time I went to the east coast (MD) for school, I noted the arrogant attitude.
You all can keep your attitude and lie in the socialist bed you are making.
Bring your attitude and socialism to the rest of the country, and you might not like what you find.
PS: Thanks for not noticing my first set of typos.
what about the west coast? colorado, California, Oregon etc.
what is the vibe there?
I was hired into Long Beach in the 80s and escaped to Tucson the first chance I could get.

In other words, "Always look for the bright side of life!" I dig.
Why didn't the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation escape NY or why did they contribute to problem?
Likely the same thing that keeps most people in their 'comfortable' situation. Fear of the unknown future (anxiety) and its' evil twin, prisoners of the past. They had their own issues.

Was there visiting my Vax injured SIL in the hospital near the university 3 years ago. Never saw so much drug addicted homeless in my life! :(
Tucson has many wonderful things to recommend it - not least the beautiful Sonoran desert, but it’s politically ruined by libtards (& a horrendous lack of foresight 60+ years ago to create a freeway system THROUGH town instead of around it!)
Yes the mountains and desert and zoo are beautiful.
I saw Raul holding court at a hotel bar near the airport once while attending a meeting at the hotel.
So you still live in Tucson?? We were there 3 years ago and couldn’t believe all the drug addicted homeless walking around, sleeping in the parks, at bus stops and behind gas stations. The cvs we were in was robbed 3 times in a row and the security guard just let them take what they wanted. Eating dinner downtown and we were continually harassed by the homeless :(
We left 20 years ago.
You forgot Washington state-they are all soooo blue, tax, tax,
tax states.
WA looks like it’s ready to elect even more far left big city ( Seattle) politicians. The last mayor wasn’t far left enough, so now with only 8% of voters taking the time to actually vote, they’re going communist. NYC is not alone.
This is so true!
NYC voters will get exactly what they vote for…
… good and hard…
God help NYC

I've visited New York city a number of times over the decades and there is a special place in my heart for it. Wherever you go out on the streets there, there's always a soap opera happening.

I think that the silent majority have strong opinions but most of those have fled to better pastures.
