“Even as City Hall describes parts of its spending plan as “actions of last resort,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani is steering millions into an expanding “racial equity” bureaucracy and six-figure diversity positions.”

An analysis of the released budget shows the Office of Racial Equity is allocated $5.6 million with a staff of 38; the Commission on Racial Equity is allocated $4.6 million with 16 paid roles; and the Commission on Gender Equity is allocated over $835,000 for an advisory body focused on gender-based equality. In each case the Mayor gets to appoint the highest number to the above mentioned positions.

His budget for NYC, is higher than that of the entire state of Florida.

His budget for NYC, is higher than that of the entire state of Florida.

Which gives one a good idea of how much is being plundered from NYC's treasury, and being funneled into the pockets of Mamdan's inner circle crowd.

JWK

Mamdani’s smiley faced Democratic socialism will surely fatten the fortunes of the rats in charge of handing out the “free” government cheese which Mamdani has promised.

I am thankful that I do not live in NYC. Or Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and a number of other large US cities.

Unfortunately, many hard-working wage earners, who cannot afford to move away from NYC, and did not vote for him, are having their earned wages confiscated to pay for Mamdani's free shit.

A sobering preview of Mamdani's free-grocery-store idea.

"The giveaway drew residents from across the five boroughs — some arriving before sunrise, others showing up mid-morning in the hopes of getting a yellow ticket and a spot in the line wrapped around the block."

With respect to Mamdani's "free" grocery stores, the mayor's administration has been looking for sites for these city-run stores. It is estimated that a potential opening for the first city-owned store is by June 30, 2026.

This is a big reason why the democrats get votes. Vote for us and get free stuff. Works every time.

This is a big reason why the democrats get votes. Vote for us and get free stuff. Works every time.

The following, alleged to have been written by Alexander Tytler, is an appropriate warning with regard to today’s circumstances.

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship".

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:



From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to selfishness;

From selfishness to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage.

A giant make work program for more useless bureaucrats.

Their cult is far worse than Jim Jones’ followers. They know it’s bullshit to start but as soon as the front runner telling them if you vote for me, I will give you free groceries and other freebies. What do the cult members do knowing the promise is bullshit? Vote for the candidate who just sold them a bunch of bullshit despite knowing the promise is bullshit. They remind of the woman who said on camera if she votes for Obama, Obama will pay for her mortgage and gas.

Classic mafia bust-out operation.

Hard to believe New Yorkers, of all people, couldn't see it coming.

I gotta say that this appears to be fairly accurate throughout history, and here we are in the apathy stage and too many of us are becoming more dependent. Not good.

Wonder what she thinks now. The check is in the mail?
