Like clockwork, the instant the communist/socialist is sworn in, and their hand slips from the Bible, or in Mamdani’s case the Quran, their hand instantly slips right into the taxpayers pocket. (I hate to mention Drs. Malone, Virginia Governor, Abigail Spanberger, who ran as a supposed “moderate”, has released her 50 pages of desired tax increases, as I’m sure you know).

In Mamdani’s absolute bloated proposed 127 billion dollar city budget, there appears to be a 5.4 billion dollar budget shortfall and I’m sure that will turn out to be a low number. Does he talk or even mention making a cut in his proposed budget? No. Does he mention reducing regulations or taxes to stimulate revenue? No, that’s nowhere to be found in the communist brain. By making a cut in his proposed gigantic budget he would be inferring that there’s something in the 127 billion dollar proposed budget that people could actually live without, that’s not happening. No tax the rich or raise property tax across the board 9.5% is the only way out of this. I guess free subways rides, free bus rides, free housing, free food, free everything isn’t all that free after all.

You add to that the other typical side effects of electing a communist like unplowed streets, trash piling up, and of coarse the deaths of 19 homeless people and you begin to understand the results of electing an unqualified communist/socialist mayor in a major city. You see you can’t take the homeless off the streets and put them in a shelter in a snowstorm, it’s against their will. We wouldn’t want to infringe on their right to live on the street. I’ll tell you it didn’t take long at all for the communist with his communist philosophy to have already killed people. It makes sense though doesn’t it (?), that homeless in communist New York City would freeze to death outside on the streets. This is a small view into what you get when you vote in a communist/socialist; there will be no winners.

It reminds me of the fires in SanFrancisco that killed at least 31 people and displaced over 200,000. All because socialist governor Gavin Newsom dumped billions of gallons of water into the Pacific Ocean leaving no water at the hydrants to fight the fires, incredible. Or Hurricane Helene and the flooding, particularly in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, and the feeble communist Biden FEEMA response. How about Governor Walz and his attorney general purposely allowing 9 billion dollars to be stolen from taxpayers and given to fraudulent businesses and a good portion going to terrorists overseas killing countless Christians.

I don’t think with this next nor’easter bearing down things in Mayor Mamdani’s New York City are going to get much better anytime soon. One statement Obama made that was spot on was, “elections have consequences”. J.Goodrich

James, until colleges,stop having to offer remedial courses for their remedial courses, these are the voters we have to expect to keep putting these vermin in office

Tom Daniel's avatar

Ummm, Michael, add to that, FIRE ALL MARXIST (tenured or not) "professors" (and) SCRAP ALL MARXIST curricula - just for openers; also, OUTLAW the NEA & AFT; extirpate ALL MARXIST indoctrination at the 1,600 "Teachers Colleges" within the USA, that for YEARS have produced MARXIFIED "teachers" that are then employed in PUBLIC schools - who then spoon-feed the imbecility of Marxism into the WIDE -OPEN minds of young children, teenagers and COLLEGE students - WITH MAXIMUM oversight against revanchism.

Until the RATS (and) RAT NESTS are EXTIRPATED, the destruction of our Republic - from WITHIN will NEVER stop (and) the "Fragile Experiment with Freedom" Ben Franklin spoke of in 1787 WILL be completely destroyed.

IF that were to miraculously happen, it would still take TWO and possibly THREE generations of MARXIST-Free schooling to eradicate the INFESTATION of the MOST destructive "philosophy" to ever enter the American academy.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

On this subject...have to wonder just what in hades do school superintendents do anyway besides provide a face for the latest school scandal? They make bigger salaries in Texas than POTUS but just what do they do?

Tom Daniel's avatar

Michael? Are Texas school superintendents appointed, voted in, or?

Derangement syndrome reigns supreme in the far left democratic swamp where the goal is to suck money out of the taxpayer for personal gain. Taxpayers wake up!

Another Communist city, Portland, Oregon, leaves homeless to die on the streets as well. All while city officials utter platitudes, fund outreach workers who perpetuate the homeless industrial complex, or go on junkets to Vienna, Austria to study "social housing."

For a deep Dumpster dive into the plight of homeless and how government and ordinary citizens fail them at every turn, see "Truth on the Streets" Substack by Kevin Dahlgren: https://truthonthestreets.substack.com/

Remember: Voters (both legal and illegal) in many American cities and states have chosen Communism and Free Stuff (which is never free) over merit, personal responsibility, and hard work. If only these folks would leave America for countries that have honed Communism to a fine art, they would quickly realize they are dooming America (and themselves) to abject failure, poverty, and widespread misery.

and the "Intellectual Left" always says "but it has never been tried in the US before" as if they are so much smarter here than in all the countries who have tried it before. It actually was tried here by pilgrims who thought communal collectivism was the answer to the government systems of Europe. The soon found out many of the people would let other people do the work while taking the fruit of their labors as owed to them

James, I’m fortunate to have zero debt with a fully paid mortgage and 2 good automobiles with no debt. I’m looking at the Dems new taxes list our Communist Governor of Virginia would like and it appears very little of the new taxes list for this year would affect me except we have a gas powered leaf blower, a John Deere gas mower, we get haircuts at the salon and my husband is obsessed with ordering everything possible from Amazon that could cost us some extra taxes. I’m sure our energy costs will balloon as well as increase in gas taxes because we must keep up with California, ya know?

We cook 99% of our meals at home, no restaurant food deliveries (not even pizza), walk our own dog, always pay cash whenever we need help around the house. We’re going to keep a list of extra taxes we avoid so we can think how smart we are to have avoided the added taxes that are surely coming July 1st! Or, maybe I should expend that energy praying instead. Yes, that’s what I’ll do before they start taxing prayer!

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

without leaf blower or grass mower, and very few buys on Amazon except a few books, I should be quite safe, too. GMoody, when they start taxing prayer, I think we will be even better off. Living in the Bible belt, that will cause a revolution I am sure. Thanks for the laughs!

All this now has me thinking of moving to near the Gulf of America Alabama, low taxes, less costly real estate, God fearing people, but I would miss the distinct 4 seasons of Virginia.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

I am in GA and love it here, even though summers are hot and muggy. Lots of mosquitoes, and plenty of other insects, but I will take it all for the milder winters and the mostly lovely spring and fall.

At the rate its going in New York, Mamadani only needs one new tax item to solve the problems of a declining city and declining population of people and businesses: a tax on U-hauls an Moving Trucks as they leave the city for Florida and other states.

Bruce Miller's avatar

D? Mamdani needs to be D-tained, D-naturalized and D-ported back to Uganda.

I've taken a new approach concerning the continuing insane directions this country and other countries promote; observation. My health is too important to keep raising my BP over these directions leading to "how to jump off the cliff". This doesn't mean I don't have an opinion, just not the hatred projected at anyone. I believe hatred will always work against resolution and feeds the issue being hated. Love is always more powerful, look at what Gandhi accomplished. I'm not insinuating that you are being hateful James, just to be clear.

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

Couldn't agree with you more, D D. The mind is a wonderous entity and with it's direct linkage to the body (concentrating here specifically with the heart) as you note above, "the way hatred continues to feed the issue being hated".

Read an interesting Epoch Times article this morning titled "Your Mind can Make Your Muscles Stronger". It basically indicates by focusing on what you want to improve, there is physical improvement. Even people in recovery from injury, with little mobility, just by focus w/o movement, there is improvement.

Think what we humans can/do accomplish when using our wonderous minds to concentrate love within our hearts. I, for one, struggle, struggle, struggle, but hope and laughter (a beautiful medicine) does....miracles.

If there are any native Hawaiians as subscribers here, I hope you can understand in your heart my reading of, fascination with, and fumbled beginner self use version of Ho`onoponopono. I do recognize and respect this is a sacred ritual within the Hawaiian culture and do not wish to create any ill feelings. My husband has a good, longtime Native Hawaiian friend. I am asking her opinion of this also.

So, if I may: "I am so sorry, please forgive me, thank you and I love you". That is meant as sincerely as I can possibly make it.

Thank you, James. Two clarifications: Those Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires that were met with the empty reservoir and hydrants were in the Los Angeles area. And FEMA is evil, not feeble, as its actual objective is always killing, looting, the seizure of land, and preventing citizens from coming to the aid of other citizens.

My husband is looking forward to watching NYC handle snow under new mayor. Grew up in northern Minnesota where they do know how to handle snow and -40F.

Tom Daniel's avatar

SPOT-ON, James! NOTE, that NY Mayor MamDUMMY has exactly ZERO, experience at (a) real job or WORK employment; NO actual BUSINESS experience, NEVER started a business, NEVER had to meet a payroll - which is the MO of many Marxist would be dictators - Bernie Sanders comes immediately to mind.

This crop was out of this world good!

And totally free of glyphosate.

So much great stuff. Laughter, tears, and NYC in arrears.

Loved the Orange (man) and wife video. Ladies, have you done this to your hubbies? And gents, have you done this to your wifies? If so, STOP IT 🤣 Love them as they are.

My favorite this morning was the poor guy in the hospital wondering how he got there! 😂

Big E's avatar

Yeah, that one was great too! "Dust" we must.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

yeah, I did not make any points yesterday. . . vacuumed only, no dusting. I PAID!

Big E's avatar

Did you also use the toaster?

I dunno, Big E. I was the opposite in my failed marriage. I'd say, That's a good orange you chose, when it was obviously not. Lesson being - dont' be a doormat. And to hubbys - happy wife, happy LIFE. It IS that simple.

This might sound crazy. But don't be surprised when scientists announce that the moon really is made of cheese. Primarily mozzarella and parmesan, but pockets of other types as well. Rumor has it that alien pizzerias dot the far side.

Exploratory committees for the next lunar mission are being sponsored by Kraft, Sargento, and Lucerne. After we get rid of all the cows on Earth, lunar mining will become our primary resource.

NASA is still trying the work out some of the technical challenges. In particular, higher grades of heat shields will have to be used to prevent transported material from turning into fondue upon re-entry.

Classic!! This meme will melt liberal women’s faces!!

look, Democrats finally

defined a woman for us.

Someone too stupid to get an ID.

I’m sooo relieved that they finally got it

Great Sunday Strip!! I loved the oranges and must admit that my husband and I grocery shop together. At Costco, he has a specific way the cart must be loaded. I am diligent with my attempts to place items in unwanted positions then walk away. We've been married 35 years.

I will also admit that I've been voting since I was 18, married, divorced and remarried (now I'm aging myself) and will be submitting application to Guiness's Book as I have an ID with my current name!

I love the memes that state facts like the Martha's Vineyard incident and Mn. favorites regarding drivers licenses, tampons in male bathrooms and free lunches at school for everyone, regardless of income.( there is a guideline) Stupid is as stupid does...

Love the orange-husband!

Swabbie Robbie's avatar

Proof that orange man bad.

JoanBalone's avatar

All of the memes were hilarious! My faves were the bucket list (been there), “dust”, and the “marry me”. I so look forward to these each Sunday so I can howl at breakfast, which encourages my husband to say “What? What?”, to which I reply, “My Sunday humor injection from Dr. Malone”.

GMoody's avatar

I texted my sister the meme of the ladies discussing the bucket list because it reminded me of our sisterly talks!

Welllll... I was a bit surprised that a former prince was the first arrested....

WELL, let's wait and see if he(or anyone) finds a jail bed.

😂😂😂 Really good UFO memes. I’m glad Democrats finally figured out what a woman is; too stupid to get an ID. So the voters in NYC and VA have now seen how communist leaders handle leadership; tell the voters all about the free stuff before the election, then raise taxes after the election to pay for all the free stuff. Thanks, Drs. Malone.

NYcity - 2 forms of ID for shovel duty. Dem Reality doing comedy!

Howard Glicksman M.D.'s avatar

The wife automatically rejecting the oranges because they were given to her by her husband, who had unbeknownst to her taken them from what had just chosen, and the look on his face while doing it, was just PRICELESS!!! Thanks

I liked the aliens cartoons also! I’m sure we will have more & more documentaries on the Travel channel, & videos “from out of this world” will probably get a lot of air time! Pun intended…:)
