Establishment Democrats Created the Conditions for A Socialist Victory

 Overview of Zohran Mamdani's Victory

- Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor against Andrew Cuomo.

- The race attracted attention due to New York City's size and significance.

- This primary was the first major electoral data point since the last November's election.

- It indicates trends in the Democratic Party's future direction.

Concerns about Socialism

- Many express fear that socialism is gaining traction as a strategy for the Democratic Party.

- Socialism is viewed as harmful, violating individual rights and damaging economies.

- Opponents argue that all steps towards socialism should be opposed for community and national well-being.

Mamdani's Political Stance

- Mamdani identifies as a committed socialist and aims to gradually make socialism more acceptable to the public.

- He supports significant government intervention, including:

- Freezing rent for two million rent-controlled apartments.

- Establishing government-owned grocery stores with price control.

- Raising the city’s minimum wage to $30.

Establishment Response

- The political establishment is unhappy with Mamdani's win.

- Establishment politicians prefer gradual government expansion for personal gain rather than immediate socialism.

- They have created conditions that allow socialism to appear popular, despite their disapproval.

Cost of Living Issues

- Mamdani's campaign centered on high living costs, a genuine concern for many.

- The establishment's policies have contributed to soaring prices, including:

- Licensing requirements causing shortages in local industries.

- Rent control leading to fewer available residences.

- High taxes driving wealthy individuals away.

Politicians Deny Consequences

- Establishment Democrats have ignored warnings about the negative effects of their policies, including rent control.

- They enacted a federal eviction ban during the pandemic without considering negative implications.

- They claimed government control would improve essential services, despite evidence suggesting decline and rising costs.

Minimum Wage Debate

- Establishment Democrats refute concerns over the negative impacts of raising the minimum wage.

- They fail to acknowledge the consequences of government interventions, leading to shortages and higher prices.

- The current political climate encourages the popularity of socialistic ideas like those presented by Mamdani, particularly amidst ongoing economic challenges driven by government policies.

- Without acknowledging the negative consequences of their strategies, establishment politicians may only foster further support for socialist candidates and policies.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
