TRENDING:

New Yorkers Saw The Danger Of Mamdani’s Radical Ideology — And They Chose To Ignore It

Daniel Cohen

That didn’t take long. New York City voters… You have been duped!

Remember when Zorhan Mamdani promised during a debate that he was going to stay in New York City to represent the five boroughs? Reality check—Mamdani just flew to a mosque in Puerto Rico, where he told a crowd chanting “Allah Akbar” that New York City now “belongs” to them!

In case you have forgotten, “Allah Akbar” is the same thing Hamas chanted when the radical Islamic terrorists invaded Israel on October 7th, 2023.

Twenty-four years after 9/11—the worst radical Islamic terror attack on American soil, where nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in New York City—the new mayor of that same city is being celebrated by crowds of Islamists. New York City went from a city of “never forget” to a city of “Allah Akbar” in two short decades.

The gates to New York City—and let’s be honest, other major blue cities—are being opened wide to anyone who shares their radical ideology and is a part of this “red-green alliance.” Mamdani is telling Islamists living outside of New York City, “We are the new owners of the city.” It was an invitation: “Come!”

Don’t say you weren’t warned. All of the information about who Mamdani is was readily available to the public.

Just as his Islamic agenda was out in the open, so was his Marxism. Mamdani said it himself during the campaign: “Starting on day one, we will expand the city’s special enforcement programs, doubling fines for hazardous violations and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous. And when a really bad landlord, like this guy, refuses to fix it, the city is going to step in, make the repairs, and send them the bill. If that doesn’t work, the city’s taking over the building. We are putting the worst landlords out of business.”

You read that correctly: the city is going to “take over the building.” He is discussing the seizure of private property! That is Marxism, which says, “You don’t own it; we own it.” Who is going to determine the standards? The government? How long before property ownership is totally dependent on the government? This is not American—and neither is forcing a freeze on rent, spiking minimum wage, free healthcare and transit, or government-owned grocery stores.

Mamdani’s agenda was all in his campaign platform—and he is expecting the federal government (meaning all Americans, regardless of their state) to pay for his radical ideas. It’s typical Socialism. Socialist leaders don’t give anything back—they only take everything away. They promise the world and a basket of cookies for everyone, but the real agenda is lurking beneath.

They want to defund the NYPD in favor of social workers, grant citizenship to people who have come illegally, and break ties with Israel. It wasn’t long ago when we saw people brazenly ripping down American flags in New York City—this is the reality of where the city is heading.

Everywhere Socialism has been tried, it always fails.

New York, you have made a choice. You chose to ignore every warning sign. I will never understand the 33% of Jewish voters who voted for Mamdani. We are watching people on the left crying “tears of joy” over what looks like already is going to be a catastrophe.

Proverbs 27:12 says, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” New Yorkers saw the danger and chose to ignore it—and there is going to be some suffering as a result.


America’s Largest Banks Should Be Concerned About Rebuilding Their Reputations… On Integrity, Not Ideological Conformity

The report, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” found that the nation’s nine largest banks maintained policies that restricted banking services based on customers’ religious or political beliefs. In other words, Americans could be debanked because of what they believed. Family Research Council was among the organizations affected. Banks frequently justified such decisions by citing reputational risk. Apparently, doing business with pro-life organizations or religious groups that believe marriage is between a man and a woman was considered a threat to their reputation.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In A Culture Of Trendy Lies, It Is Time To Speak Up More Clearly In Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

We must remember our friends and our allies around the world—particularly Israel and the Jewish people, the one distinct ethnic group of people about which God tells us in His Word to bless and to support. In Genesis 12:3, what did God say to Abraham? “I will bless those who bless you.” Yet many people these days, including a lot of Christians, think that it is trendy, intellectual-sounding, or will garner clicks to oppose things all related to the Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2025 was designated by the Anti-Defamation League as the deadliest year of anti-Semitism. Three months after October 7th in 2023, anti-Semitism had risen 360%.
