"We'll replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism," New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, advised the crowd during his inauguration speech on January 1, 2026.
We've been warned. At least he's upfront about his political ideologies and how he intends to govern the largest city in the United States.
Zohran's a bona fide Muslim-Democrat-Socialist — he unabashedly tells us so. He also swore allegiance to the city and country while placing his left hand upon a copy of the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as fellow socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) administered the oath of office.
The camel's nose is now under the NYC tent.

Some People Think Minnesota's New Flag Looks Like the Flag of Somalia
Somalia Flag New Minnesota Flag
Wonder why we're $38 trillion in debt? Here's one of the reasons.
Minnesota is known as "The land of 10,000 lakes." Presumably, it's also becoming recognized as "The land of 10,000 frauds."

"We need vibrant immigration. But we don't want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes, that are still recovering from 21, 20 years of endless war — or anybody else in our society." — Hunter Biden speaking on the Shawn Ryan Show, Dec. 22, 2025.
_________________________________________________________________________
In a lengthy interview with podcaster Shawn Ryan, 55-year-old Hunter Biden unexpectantly announced his dad really did mess up several important decisions during his term as President. Principally, his open borders chaos and the Afghanistan military withdrawal fiasco.
Both will remain forever two of the most botched decisions made during Joe Biden's bumbling Presidency.
