New York Adrift


The state of New York is really starting to concern me. Although national democrat leaders have been reluctant to support Mamdani, Albany appears to be embracing his socialist policies, including the vacuous Kathy Hochul, who, with each passing day, appears more likely to say anything that will get her elected. Watch her bristle and puff out her pigeon chest in striking a supposedly defiant pose at the suggestion that Trump would target a mayor, Mamdani.  Hilarious. The Journal reports that the Lt Governor Delgado, who is significantly farther left than Hochul, is taking Mamdani’s rise as a sign for him to mount a challenge for the governor’s seat. What all of them have in common is socialism’s signature intent to spend other people’s money. And to do that, more tax increases are in the offing. That huge sucking sound you hear is from the wealthy, and Wall Street soon to follow, decamping for sunny, business-friendly Florida.
