New in PJ Media:
Some of the people who are the most excited about Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election are the ruling mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who see the triumph of their fellow Twelver Shi’ite Muslim as a marvelous harbinger of even better things to come. America is on the ropes, the mullahs think, or want the world to think, and Mamdani could be just the man to administer the coup de grâce.
The Tehran daily Hamshahri, a decidedly pro-regime publication, was enthusiastic about the deep divisions in American society that Mamdani’s win seemed to portend. According to Iran International, Hamshahri ran the happy front-banner headline, “America Against America,” and really, that’s not wrong. The question now will be whether Americans who value the free society that the United States has been all these years will be able to triumph over those who want to replace that free society with a totalitarian, socialist, internationalist hellhole — with Zohran Mamdani leading the way.
Meanwhile, Abolghasem Jarareh, a member of parliament from Tehran, stood up in that august body and offered his sage analysis. “Zohran Mamdani’s victory,” Jarareh declared, “shows the strength of the slogan ‘Death to Israel!’”
Now, it is unlikely that Mamdani’s victory will actually bring about the death of Israel, but the incoming mayor will certainly do all he can to bring that death closer. As Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani explains, Mamdani said back in 2020 that the Palestinian jihad against Israel made him a socialist as well as a politician: “I sincerely believe in this political project. I sincerely believe in socialism. For me, it was Palestine that brought me into this movement.” The Palestinian jihad against Israel is why Zohran Mamdani is mayor-elect of New York City today, and so no one should expect him not to pursue it with all the power of the nation’s foremost city at his command.
Apparently aware of this, Abolghasem Jarareh, in the Iranian parliament, did not stop to explain why he thought Mamdani’s victory was a manifestation of the strength of the chant “Death to Israel.” Instead, he and his judicious colleagues simply joined together in a few hearty rounds of chanting “Death to Israel” on the parliament floor.
Abdolmotahhar Mohammadi, a spokesman for Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani, was more forthcoming, explaining that “the clear message of Zohran Mamdani’s election… is that the people of New York reject the influence of a genocidal regime in US governance.” There was no genocide and no clear mandate for anti-Israel measures in Mamdani’s victory, but the facts didn’t deter Mohammadi as he celebrated the happy event of the young Muslim Marxist’s election. Mohammadi added that Iran “welcomes any strengthening of anti-racist and pro-Palestine discourse anywhere in the world.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

“Anti-racist?!?”
Sooooo, the Q’ran is wrong, then?

The NYC Mayor term is 4 years.
AI is being rolled into businesses, now, and will take many NYC non-labor jobs which it may or may not perform better in a city not fully recovered from the dislocations of Covid.
What did Ross Perot call it? Yes, it was a giant sucking sound, in this case, of money flowing out of NYC into the AI corporate world. More people with no jobs, city tax base declining, taxes raised, businesses and citizens mirroring a Billy Joel song, “I’m Movin’ Out!”
Who will pay for Mamdoni’s:
Free child care
Free public transportation
200,000 new affordable housing units
NYC grocery stores
Crime increase – Public Safety (while defunding police?)
Environmental policies
The Iranian terrorist funders have false ideas, as usual. The decline of NYC began with the LBJ’s “Great Society” policies that were fattened into grotesqueness by the Democrat Party.
We shall see how much zakat Mamdoni can squeeze out of NYC.

The thing is, America has debates and not all people believe the same thing. And people are allowed to say what they think, even if they think the thoughts of fools and evil thoughts of devil worshippers.
Unlike in iran where people are not allowed to say what they think without risking their very lives. And yet, the scummy *leaders* imply that having people at odds with the government and saying what they think, and electing others to rule over them….even if that person is a goon and ghoul…is somehow a victory for them and their evil.

His name is Sindi, but could just as well be Iranian

I wonder if Las Vegas is giving odds on how long N.Y. City will last under the Mamdani regime?

Like all good communists at the top, they pay homage to communism while these leaders hoard loads of cash. Any person with functioning brain cells can see right through his rhetoric while he comes from a wealthy family paying many thousands for a wedding in a compound in uganda. What a joke. Americans tying their own noose, while we all.pay the price. We can add tucker carlson and crazy owens to the thank you list.
