Absolutely shocking turn of events. A Muslim is a terrorist! Now heβs terrorising New Yorkers into believing the world can be a nicer place? He must be related to Sadiq Khan who holds similar beliefs. The π will be furious.
God, I hope this man wins the mayoral race πππ
I met Mr Sadiq Khan, recently...few weeks ago, at a presentation about homelessness. He is a thoroughly DowntoEarth chap and awfully approachable, no airs about him ~ just a good Earthling. Lucky for London. And yes, I did vote for him. ππππ§π
Tom's clearly a deeply disturbed individual, this causes confusion like this and it takes over what little is left of his mind and psyche. It's sad really, he desperately needs help but alas none is available.
Jesus was A classical liberal, like Thomas Paine. He was against government intervention, and preferred grass roots solutions. This seeking of top down solutions in the form of government owned stores will lead to price controls and the end of innovation, and private markets in NY. But this was inevitable given government creates the problem and then offers the solution. The root cause is the federal reserve printing endless currency destroying our purchasing power. So, like we said, donβt expect things to get better, in fact, things will get worse before they get worse. Only when the FR is abolished and sound money is reintroduced can the system heal and then thrive
I am genuinely interested in your opinion and how you came to hold it. I can explain my thoughts. I grew up in 70s and 80s Britain. My state education was outstanding, I went to university on a full grant and the tuition fees were paid by the local education authority. I then trained to be a nurse and worked for the NHS for 20 years. We had a certain amount of stability, even with a Conservative government. People could get a GP appointment, the waiting lists for healthcare were much lower and people were thriving, not merely existing. Up until 2010, when the Conservatives got into power again. Now, after 14 years of austerity, and the transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest, people are miserable. The cost of living has skyrocketed and people live in poverty and in expensive rented homes which are unfit for human habitation. Thatβs the world Iβd like to see. Not the one we have now, where leaders care more about money and power than their citizens.
Yes, my politics lean to the left and I am not ashamed of that. You can call me a βlibtardβ or a βsnowflakeβ and it will be like water off a duckβs back. What is so wrong with wanting every person to feel secure and be able to afford the necessities in life?
To be fair, the UK is not much better either. But it can be better. It was better. Sadly, politicians of all stripes seem to be more concerned about not upsetting the billionaires and corporations than about their own citizens. I appreciate your comment but we must not give up on creating a better future.
I agree but extreme far left progressive socialism is not something I would support. A new political and financial system based on the gold standard would be a solid start
can i ask what do you mean by far left progressive socialism? i get confused with all these labels. what are the main features and wat ru concerned about?
genuine question, enjoying the interesting comments (not Toms of course)
Outrageous, he's part of this disturbing global trend to democratise cities, making them kinder and more 'human', I mean where will this end? - caring for the vulnerable, demilitarising the police, re-wilding Wall St?
Brilliant article Laura - as always. Made me laugh this morning. I really, really hope that Zohran wins the Mayoral race. Hopefully it will be a turning point in politics in the US and the UK.
Money has crept into USA politics and does all the talking. The Zionist Lobby spent millions backing Andrew Cuomo..... but this time New Yorkers were not fooled.
In these deeply disturbing times of genocide and other brutalities abroad and rampant corruption, oppression and manipulation at home you are the only commentator I know who can make me laugh out loud at your βunreal-but-realβ depiction of it all.
I am frankly against the Brown invasion and our replacement, I also think itβs pathetic that we donβt have any white people who would do the same as this fellow. But then again, the United States is owned and controlled by the Jews. Even what appears to be opposition isnβt really opposition to them so much as itβs designed to work against the host population, in this case meaning white people.
Fantastic article and I hope this terrible event is repeated everywhere especially in the UK as it will upset Starmer et al awfully and ruin their year, or even years hopefully.
Are Americans finally starting to wake up and realise the billionaires don't give a flying F**K about the poor and working classes. Still, better late than never.

He's a decent person. No wonder the Far Right can't stand him >:((
I hope so too you libs deserve whatβs coming. PolPot wanted to help the poor too.
How braindead do you have to be to see what works and what doesnβt.
You made your sanctuary bed now lie in it. You deserve it all.
Youβre comparing someone to Pol Pot because they want to help the poor?! You mean like Jesus? And like (your namesake?) Tom Paine?

I wouldn't rely on state education now. Frankly I wouldn't rely on anything state run. NYC has gone downhill in recent years π¬

β¦hahahahahaha you poor poor child, SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP !!
Get some psychological help
What in the hell does that mean?
β¦heβs in a lot of βPaineβ, itβs hard to live like that π
Ah typical lib rational response pure confused emotion.
β¦typical bs without any fucking meaning
It must be hard to be such a Debbie downer all
You do know who backed & put Pol Pot into power don't you?
Actually, I think he is terrorising the billionaires who are quivering in fear of being asked to pay some taxes. I do hope he keeps it up π
A brilliant article. Thank you.
Islamophobia what a sheep caught up in American propaganda
Your satire detector needs new batteries, ma'am.
Dude I love this guy but I am also cautious bc I donβt know enough about his backers and their motivations
...wait. Are you actually trying to say the US doesn't have islamophobia issues?
Opposite but Iβm not very good at writing my thoughts down
we have been born bred and raised to hate Arabs and Muslims thatβs why I married one :)
Oh, okay. I was having trouble parsing the meaning. π
Outrageous, he's part of this disturbing global trend to democratise cities, making them kinder and more 'human', I mean where will this end? - caring for the vulnerable, demilitarising the police, re-wilding Wall St?
Brilliant article Laura - as always. Made me laugh this morning. I really, really hope that Zohran wins the Mayoral race. Hopefully it will be a turning point in politics in the US and the UK.
In many ways, this is a victory for the βunheardβ right around the USA and the world.
I have complete respect and confidence in Zohran!!
He means what he says and will forgo personal comfort & gain for his Principles and the people.
His strong positive character which is not-up-for-sale is more likely because of his Indian-African (un American?) upbringing.
As his mother once said βI made a suitable boyβ. Referring to both the TV series she directed and her son Zohran. Shabash!!!
Zohranβs background and upbringing are exactly what βAmericanβ is supposed to be. π
The key word in that sentence is "supposed".
Money has crept into USA politics and does all the talking. The Zionist Lobby spent millions backing Andrew Cuomo..... but this time New Yorkers were not fooled.
Jesus wept. Mamdami has no better friend. Profound respect. You do Jonathan Swift proud.
I watched Drop Site's coverage of the mayoral race, from start to finish.
I'm still smiling.
Blimey! We live in worrying times . . . fancy a brown person having morals . . . Mahatma Gandhi must be celebrating in Heaven!
Will a democratically elected Muslim who opposes genocide be overthrown by a coup supported by the democratic party? Stay tuned.
The Bell is tolling for establishment Democrats, aka gop lite. Time for them to be relegated to the Dustbin of History.
β¦heβs definitely will be a target for the regime and trumpβs war on NYC will intensify, financially, economically and socially
Laura, as of today you've become my official therapist. ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ» Congratulations! π
βCritics have also taken aim at Mamdaniβs support for Palestinian human rights.β
~ actual quote from A.P. article 6/25/25
So people in America who target a person for support of human rights are now called "critics".
Love your zynismπβοΈπ΅πΈβοΈπ€
Brilliant Laura, again.
In these deeply disturbing times of genocide and other brutalities abroad and rampant corruption, oppression and manipulation at home you are the only commentator I know who can make me laugh out loud at your βunreal-but-realβ depiction of it all.
Thank you!
David, I recently discovered the wonderful work of Nicole Jenes.
Laura and Nicole are both amazing medicine that helps cure what ails us.
Leave it to the ladies to have their βfingers on the pulseβ.
Not to quibble or nuthin, but here in the grate satan, infants pull themselves up by their baby bootie straps.
They donβt get their first pair of steel toed work boots until theyβre able to walk.
Hi Mike
Iβve been onto Nicole for some time nowβ¦she almost, but not quite, rivals Laura. Beauty, brains and a razor-sharp tongue; what a combination!
Highly recommend!
Requiring steel toes unfairly limits the employersβ freedom to profit from childrenβs labor! Booties work fine!
I am frankly against the Brown invasion and our replacement, I also think itβs pathetic that we donβt have any white people who would do the same as this fellow. But then again, the United States is owned and controlled by the Jews. Even what appears to be opposition isnβt really opposition to them so much as itβs designed to work against the host population, in this case meaning white people.
Um. Iβm a U.S. citizen. Iβm white, and I know we were the invaders. The First Nations were brown people.
Brilliant reply. Someone met the white people as the boats landed, and THEY were the host population.
i am frankly against the oligarch, banker and war industry invasion and the transfer off national wealth to them.
but i agree the host population should be better looked after, the history of discrimination and displacement of American Indians is shameful.

>JEWSJEWSJEWS
>MUH DEEP STATE
...you redcap Nazis could *really* use some new material.
You brainwashed Commies need to get the Jew out of your heads
Whoa, now he's dusting off "Judaeo-Bolshevism" straight outta the Thirties!
QED.
Lifetime critic of Israel here btw
Fantastic article and I hope this terrible event is repeated everywhere especially in the UK as it will upset Starmer et al awfully and ruin their year, or even years hopefully.
