What was that sound?

It was our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves as a “socialist” with his right hand on the Koran was sworn in as mayor of America’s largest city. It will be interesting to see if Kathy Hochul, who appeared to be ok embracing Mamdani’s socialist policies, despite claiming the impossible that she wouldn’t raise 

Ok, taxes will move more to the center now that Elise Stefanik has dropped out of the governor’s race. The question remains: without the threat of Stefanik launching an attack from the right, will she be less inclined to appeal to the radical left to garner support from the base, or will she now be uninhibited in adopting those radical policies and become a loose cannon? Make no mistake: Mamdani referred to the “collective” in his inauguration address. And, can you imagine Mamdani proclaiming that he “will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” He is a Marxist—a communist. The only thing “democratic” about his “socialism” is that he was elected. Congratulations, New York, you let it in. And as the voting statistics show, it was overwhelmingly skewed towards voters who were not born here, Blacks, those living in housing projects, women, those making below the median income, and those under the age of 30. This is right out of the Marxist playbook. This, comrades, is class warfare. Exactly how Mamdani will be able to institute his plans for free child care, government-run grocery stores, and free public transportation without a significant tax increase remains to be seen, and he will require Hochul to fall into lockstep to accomplish any of it. If so, Hochul may go down as the governor who presided over the largest mass exodus of state population to friendlier tax climates in history. And they will take their businesses and their tax base with them.
