Trump is mad. Mayor Mamdani may be the new "kingmaker" of New York City politics. In a sweeping affirmation of his affordability-focused agenda, all three congressional candidates endorsed by Mamdani in a set of contested Democratic primary elections declared victory last night (Tuesday, June 23, 2026). Manhattan and the Bronx’s Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brooklyn’s Claire Valdez and Brad Lander were all joined on the campaign trail by the progressive NYC mayor in the weeks leading up to election night.
Hanukkah, the lowest of the Jewish high holidays, invented completely by rabbis (Jewish clerics) and never mentioned in the Bible (Jewish Old Testament or Christian New Testament)
Anti-Defamation League (ADL): Jewish phonies virtue signaling they only exist to defend Judaism and Jews they like [who serve Israel for the imperial dream of Greater Israel]
World's most popular podcaster Candace Owens outs Israel's psyops and Zionist cycle: pattern of pretexts for achieving plan for Greater Israel through genocide, ethnic cleansing, war profiteering, antisemitic victimhood, terrorizing Jews to co-opt them, and endless attacks on adversaries and anyone who calls them out
"Antisemitic" attacks done on purpose by Israel and its assets and agents to stoke fear and drive Jews to move to rogue "state" of Israel as it sacrifices Jews to build Greater Israel empire for the West
Statistics know all. No one can beat the stats. If the stats say it, that's the way it'll be.

(Saturday Night Live) Nov. 1, 2025: Zohran Mamdani [pronounced So Ran Ma'am Donny] (here played by Ramy Youssef), corrupt Andrew Cuomo (Miles Teller), and Curtis Sliwa (Shane Gillis) debate one another in the race to become New York City's next mayor. #SNL #MilesTeller #BrandiCarlile. NYC Mayoral Debate Cold Open - SNL. The election takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, so get out and vote.
See, Kids, sometimes it doesn't work out. If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. Corrupt Trump pardon's corrupt NY Mayor Eric Adams, who kissed the Orange One's butt and appeased his ego as well as pledging his allegiance to crooked Republicans. He had to to stay out of jail.
Sometimes it does work out, but who would bet on it? Trump keeps winning in court, the court of public opinion, and de facto on the ground.
I should run to be Trump's choice!
Judges may order him to keep ICE in his pants and out of our cities, but does he listen? Judges may order him to fund SNAP or food stamps to keep 1 out of 8 Americans from food insecurity (going hungry, malnourishment, malnutrition, and starvation), but does he listen?
He's got corrupt likely-rapist Justice Kavanaugh and others on the Supreme Court back his Agenda 2025 crimes, which Homan and Bannon must have had a grand time writing.
I run this country, Ghislane, I pick who wins.
Now if Andrew Cuomo can be resuscitated and put to work for Trump and Israel, what was the chance that millennials, youth, idealists, anti-Zionist Jews, and the diverse array of New Yorkers were going to be able to stop him?
What if Trump becomes official U.S. Dictator?
Progressive Democrat self-proclaimed socialist (like successful Kshama Sawant and hopeful candidate Katie Wilson) Mamdani meant well, even though progressive commentator Jimmy Dore points out that he has already caved to the power elite. He's an improvement but far from ideal, far from perfect, far from a real solution.
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration come under fire for underreporting COVID deaths in nursing homes after he controversially directed homes to accept infectious elders.
For the first time in over 40 years, formerly Buddhist Afghanistan is at peace (particularly in holy Bamiyan). However, under Taliban rule, it remains highly controversial, with human rights, especially of women, being eroded every day.
We decided to solo travel to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in 2025 to try understand what life is really like inside a country we all hear so much about on the news but often understand so little of. #Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a nation with a rich culture, history, and heritage. It is a proud country that has defeated every empire that passed through its land, from the Brits (English) to the Soviets (Russians), to the Yanks (Americans) [and soon the Chinese]. But what is life really like right now?
Join us as we travel solo overland from Pakistan, towards Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and try to understand more about this flawed and often misunderstood sovereign state.
Welcome to Afghanistan and daily life under Taliban control.

"I feel like I've lost all rights to my privacy": Mia Khalifa | The Conversation | BBC News India
(BBC News India) This interview first aired on BBC Hard Talk in Sept. 2019.
Born to a conservative Arab family from Lebanon, Mia Khalifa (who is a Catholic Christian and has never been Muslim) attained worldwide fame and notoriety with her brief stint (12 shoots in total) in the porn industry.
In the interview with Stephen Sackur (who is honest enough to admit he himself has watched porn), she opens up about how she thought her participation would be a personal secret, the exploitative nature of the modern porn industry, and how it changed her life for the worse.
In 2015, Khalifa stated that she was no longer a practicing Catholic [20]. She has a tattoo of the opening line of the National Anthem of Lebanon in Arabic [1] and a tattoo of the Lebanese Forces Cross, which she said was to "show solidarity with [her] father's political views" following a 2012 bombing.
She told Newsweek that critics have claimed that her tattoos were disgracing Lebanon [18]. Khalifa is an active Twitter user. In 2021, she criticized U.S. military aid to [genocidal] Israel [39] and called Israel an "apartheid state," which sparked backlash online [40].
During the Oct. 7th retribution on Israel [for decades of worsening oppression], Khalifa tweeted, "If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time."
In another tweet, she wrote "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal" [41][42].
She later said that her comments were not an endorsement of violence and that she intended to highlight the need for Palestinian freedom:
I'm a video podcaster in 2019.
"I just want to make it clear...I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are...fighting for freedom every day [41].
Following this, capitalist porn corporation Playboy ended its podcasting deal with Khalifa, calling her comments "disgusting and reprehensible" [41][42][43].
Khalifa later tweeted: "I'd say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I'm more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad"[41]. More

Is the Vatican responsible for the Koran (Quran), the sacred texts of Islam? Did they create these texts or have them compiled, another psyop to control yet another group of people? It is odd that the only woman mentioned by name is Mary (Miriam, Maria), the mother of the prophet, St. Issa (Jesus).
Speaking at a surprise gig in London last night (May 24, 2025), [Irish Gaelic outlaw rappers] Kneecap claimed that the terror[ism] charge against one of their members is part of a “witch-hunt” intended to stop them from playing at Glastonbury.
Yesterday, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence [terrorism offense] after allegedly waving the flag of Hezbollah onstage at a gig last November.
Hezbollah is a proscribed group in the UK, meaning it is illegal to “invite support” for them.
Don't say, "F*CK ISRAEL!"
Whatever you say, don't say "Fuck Israel" -- or you'll get in BIG trouble.
After denying the charge and promising to fight it in court, the band announced a surprise gig at the 100 Club in London, which they said sold out in 90 seconds.
The poster for the gig featured a recent quote from former [punk rock legend] Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten, who suggested the band “need a bloody good kneecapping.”
Ó hAnnaidh took the stage with duct tape over his mouth, before saying, “There’s a reason why what’s happened to me, happened before Glastonbury. There’s a reason they’re trying to f*cking stop me speaking at Glastonbury in front of the UK.”
His bandmate, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, said, “This is our first gig back after [Coachella]. They want to stop what we’re doing, because they want us to stop protesting. There are 60,000-plus dead in Gaza right now. That’s the real story; it’s not about us.”
Kneecap were first investigated by counter-terrorism police after footage emerged that appeared to show one of the members saying, “The only good Tory [traditionalist conservative] is a dead Tory. Kill your local M.P. [British member of parliament.]” This led to a wave of condemnations... More
