An Illogical First Choice To Take a Stand By Mamdani

​

While forty states brace for a massive winter storm this weekend, including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, New York City Mayor Mamdani brazenly has declared as of Friday, “No snow day for you!”

Public school students can at best hope for remote classes for early next week as the city braces for a potentially devastating storm that the mayor has already said could dump more than a foot of snow or more across the Big Apple. And it is expected that there could be a loss of electricity, as well.

The city will confirm by Sunday 12PM whether students should show up for class in person or log in remotely. But what good would working from home on Google Classroom if you can’t turn the computer on?

Forecasters are predicting the fast-approaching monster winter storm could batter the city with up to 18 inches of snow through Monday, bringing bone-chilling temps and a travel nightmare across the tri-state.

Even Gov Kathy “Krazy Kat” Hochul on Friday declared a state of emergency for the entire state, as Mamdani insisted the city was well-prepared to weather the first major storm of his administration, dubbing the operation “Blade Runner 2.0.”

Mamdani urged New Yorkers to hunker down inside. Oh, and stay safe.

“I want to encourage New Yorkers to do their parts to stay safe this weekend. That is why we are issuing a hazardous travel advisory for Sunday and for Monday,” he said.

“I want to encourage New Yorkers to do something that we don’t often have the luxury of doing, which is take a breath and stay home, stay indoors, stay off the roads, watch the snow come down, watch the worst possible reality TV show you can find.”

But schools will be open, he insisted. One way or another. All to get Federal and state money for his panacea of socialist programs.

This illogical decision by the Mayor may show his glaring failure to be a leader in order to show, instead, that he is a boss.

Good luck with that!

Remembering All Who Gave Their Lives To the Final Fontier

It will be forty years this coming Wednesday, January 28, 1986, when the Challenger exploded seventy-three seconds after liftoff. It will be fifty-nine years since Apollo 1 caught fire during a test on the launch pad on January 27, 1967.

It also will be twenty-three years since Columbia blew apart as it returned to earth passing over Texas on February 1, 2003.

In each case, there was nothing NASA, or anyone else, could do to save them. Several other American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts died in the pursuit to explore space, the final frontier.

“It’s hard to believe it was that long ago,” said four-time astronaut and former NASA associated administrator Bob Cabana during NASA’s Day of Remembrance ceremony yesterday at KSC’s Visitor Complex. “For those of us who were around at the time, the picture of those two solid rocket motors, their plumes going off in separate directions against that clear, blue Florida sky that morning is something that’s firmly etched in our brains that we will always remember.”

These brave souls should and will be remembered now and always for the noble cause of learning the secrets of space and the knowledge which will be gained for all mankind. It is an innate quality we have as a species to learn all we can about our neighborhoods and our universe.

As much as the explorers who left the comfort of their homes to find “shorter routes” to Asia more than five centuries ago, and instead, found two continents and several unexpected islands in the way as they headed west, they learned much about the world they did not know in which they lived. It inspired additional journeys to learn all they could as their horizons expanded.

To the modern-day men and women who died daring this same pursuit, we salute you. 

As President Reagan said that night when the seven astronauts died in the Challenger explosion,  they "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God," a poignant line from the poem "High Flight" used to honor their sacrifice and aspirations. He further told the nation, "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye". 

As NASA prepares to visit the moon again next month with Artemis II, let us remember those who went before into the vast reaches of space to pave the road for a new way and pray for a safe return.

May God continue to keep them all safe and may He continue to bless them forever.

Let Freedom Ring In Iran

​Where, oh where are the “Free Palestine” protesters when it comes to the atrocities being committed in Iran by its “government” against its people? This is ACTUAL genocide, unlike what they perceived happened  in Israel, where Arabs and others were part of the Israeli Knesset.

Israelis were not shooting nor hanging those who protested their government. Like the Ayatollah and his “holy” Mullahs are.

It was revealed that the illegitimate Iranian government has acknowledged that, since December 28, almost 5,000 citizens have been killed, and another 9,400 deaths are under investigation. However, other human rights groups have put that number at well over 20,000. 

And in order to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones to be buried, the Mullahs are requiring TEN BILLION Rials or $9,400 from the families for that privilege.

It was reported that many of the captured men and women were raped and otherwise sexually assaulted by IRGC soldiers before they were killed, and in some cases, had their bodies burned by these barbarians.

And yet, ISRAEL was blamed for genocidal atrocities? This Iranian dictatorship is the 21st century equivalent of the worst of Nazi Germany, and have put Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, et al, to shame by what the Mullahs are getting away with by the court of world opinion. 

The UN and many countries remain silent as they continue to recognize the current Iranian government as a legitimate member of the world’s civilized society? This is inhumane.

As the United States moves into position to defend the Iranian people, the world screams that President Trump is war-mongering, rather than demanding that the theocracy cease and desist the torture of its people, where is THEIR sense of justice and humanity? Apparently, in bed with the persecutors. 

One would think that after forty-seven years of this, the world as a whole would say “enough”. But it continues to maintain a blind eye to what the regime is doing in Iran. For what? To claim it recognizes the theocracy as a legitimate government at the cost of their failings to protect Iranian citizens?

How much long longer must we witness this double standard of blaming Israel for genocide while allowing the barbarians who rule Iran to continue unchecked?

This is one time that America’s military might should be used in the Middle East to remove this threat from its unfettered torture of its people and continued threat to peace in the region and the world. Yet the world “leaders” rumble in protest.

Wake up, people and support the Iranian citizens as THEY attempt true regime change. For THEIR freedom from continued barbarianism by their oppressors.

The Violation of Americans' Rights

One of the rights of ALL Americans is to be able to worship freely without interference by the government or by other citizens. Except, apparently, if you are an ICE agent in Minnesota.

What a shame by those people who decided to disrupt a religious service this past Sunday in St Paul, Minnesota because ICE agents were praying. And these same anti-ICE agitators scream that a Church should be considered a sanctuary place for illegal aliens. 

Such hypocrites!

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who oversees the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, announced an investigtion within hours, calling the protesters’ actions “desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”

“Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X late Sunday night.

In announcing the federal investigation, Dhillon cited the FACE Act, a federal law that “prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to … exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” 

In addition, former CNN anchor Don Lemon said he was present at the demonstration as a journalist and not as a protester after Department of Justice officials suggested he could face charges soon.

"We will pursue charges,” Dhillon said.  She continued, saying Lemon could not use his role as a journalist as a “shield.”

“Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility, and then he began, quote, unquote, committing journalism,” she said.

She singled out Lemon in a post on X, saying that he is “on notice.”

Of course, considering his lack of  prominence in the public eye and his narcissistic personality, he sent an email to CNN, claiming, “It’s notable that I’ve been cast as the face of a protest I was covering as a journalist, especially since I wasn’t the only reporter there. That framing is telling.”

He is attempting to make himself a martyr for “the cause”, as if he were a sacrificial lamb. He is far from it. And Don, nobody really cares about you.

It is time for the paid protesters to stand down and allow the ICE agents do the job that the CONGRESS legislated to do: enforce US immigration law. To remind those who forgot, it was a bi-partisan vote, where the House was controlled by Republicans and the Senate was controlled by Democrats.

These men and women are NOT Nazis or Gestapo, in spite of what leftist leaders like Tim Walz, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom  or Zohran Mamdani are claiming. Instead they are lawful, commissioned law enforcement officers, putting THEIR lives in danger to protect AMERICANS under the laws of the United States.

It is time to refocus our energies on the real rights of Americans and not the perceived rights of illegals.

In Honor of Dr Martin Luther King

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr, a man who fought for racial equality in this country. And largely succeeded.

His marches through the South in the time of "Jim Crow" were met with resistance and with discrimination, certainly. But these marches, and the resulting negative response to those Governors and law enforcement action, made the rest of the country, and the Kennedy Administration take notice.

By the summer of 1963, Rev King had raised awareness so much; and on August 28, he led over 200,000 people to March on Washington to protest racial discrimination in front of the Lincoln Memorial where he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. Later that day, he was invited  back to the White House to meet with President Kennedy, his advisors and various other leaders to discuss the next steps to be taken.

Ultimately, the outcomes of these talks resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 

Sadly, his life was cut short on April 4, 1968, seven month before his 40th birthday. But his legacy and message live on.

On November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation to make Martin Luther King Birthday a federal holiday. The following January, many states began celebrating the third Monday in January in his honor, until by 2000, all fifty states joined in. 

Today, we remember his struggles and honor his accomplishments. Happy Birthday, Dr King!

Hypocrisy Reveals Itself Again

​

It was revealed that Kamala Harris, the most recent FORMER Vice President, known by many for her word salad interviews, recently purchased a home in Malibu for a reported $8.15MM. Apparently, she paid off her alleged campaign debt in full for $20MM in order to qualify.

Old Kacklin’ Kammy joins a prominent list of Climate Change prognosticators including Al Gore, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and John Kerry who claimed the ice caps would melt by 2030 and dramatically change America’s coastline. Guess not, huh?

This topic has been debated for decades, which has had leading scientists showing evidence why their views are correct. Most liberals and Democrats have sided with the argument that people, and not nature, are primarily responsible for the change in climate.

The remedies included “the green new deal”, increased taxes on carbon emissions, requirements to utilize  more energy-reducing products and potentially mandating the usage of electric cars and buses. All of which does nothing to reduce greenhouse gases.

And of course, playing “chicken-little”at every turn to scare people to submit to their falsities. While still living as if their claims of disaster will not affect them.

Back in the 70s, the same crowd created laws requiring us to utilize MORE plastic in order to protect the rainforest and other tree-filled areas, like the American northwest from certain destruction. Now, plastic is outlawed in most communities due to its inability to be biodegradable.

Which is it?

George Carlin called out the so-called environmentalists years ago for their hypocrisy when he stated that their nonsense was due to the vain belief that they were trying to “protect the environment”. He remarked reminded us that the earth was around for four billion years before  us and would be here long after we were gone.

Here is a link to his routine Saving the Planet.

So, to sum up: Kamala Harris is just the latest to show that her words of doom are “for thee, but not for me.” And the next time a liberal screams about how YOU are destroying the environment with YOUR terrible lifestyle, point to her and others for THEIR hypocrisy.

And ignore their self-righteous indignation.

The Snake Starts to Destroy the City - With Impunity

Remember when we watched old television shows or movies where a smiling traveling sales guy would offer a magical elixir where he would claim a person’s ills would be cured with his potion?

And then the people would realize this wasn’t a cure-all potion, but rather, poison?

Remember what he was considered by his victims? Right. A slimy “snake-oil” salesman.

Sadly, New York voters are finally seeing that Mayor Zohran Mamdani deployed a “fake smile” on the campaign trail to hide his “venomous” side, and New Yorkers self-deceived themselves into thinking his seemingly happy attitude was genuine. To their detriment.

And there is nothing they can do about it until 2029. There is no recall mechanism under New York State or City law.

In advertising, what he did was colloquially called “grin-fxck” the voters, by promising what they wanted to hear, even though their logic told them he would probably not deliver. But he appealed to their wants and desires as he flashed his toothy, insincere smile at them.

Like the proverbial snake did to Eve in the Garden of Eden.

 New Yorkers were able to get a glimpse of the real Mamdani, according to Concordia University professor, Gad Saad, during the self-described socialist’s fiery victory speech last November.

“When in the minority, act meek and like a victim,” Saad said. “But once in the majority, look how I put up my finger; that’s a very Arabic thing, once in the majority, show no tolerance.

“Smile at the neck, right?” he continued. “So, this fake smile suddenly turns into a venomous viper once I am in charge.”

An invaluable and costly “Lesson Learned” for New Yorkers as he begins to destroy New York City with his socialist agenda.
