Before you ask why I am praising this merry band of whackos, maybe ask yourself the same question. Folks, politics have taken a wild turn in the last 12 years. Actually, make it 20 years! The Tea Party started all of this with the rise of “Republican” political types who simply voted NO on everything… ala Ted Cruz. I use air quotes because I do not think these types are actually Republicans, they must regurgitate the talking points on the TV. Then came Donald Trump, and the rise of the politician who actually did what he said he would do! It was also the rise of the MAGA movement, which I struggle to define as MAGA folks are all over the place and are typically only single-issue voters. President Trump winning and the rise of his supporters also gave rise to whackos on the Left side of the aisle.
I call their movement MEGA. As in MEGA sized government. They have their supporters.
I recall the day when Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, was a left-wing whacko; however, the names above make him look almost sane. I think that is the whole point of his candidacy for President.
I work with someone who openly declares the above group needs to be voted out and shut up. This could not be more stupid, but when you can only repeat what info Sean Hannity gives you, I’m not surprised. Crockett is a nut, AOC is usually spouting off garbage that is not remotely true, and outside her enclave of New York City, she is basically unelectable. Omar loves defending Somalians who are ripping off our government; it’s actually quite laughable. None of those mentioned so far would bit’sllowed in the Democrat party years ago, but like the GOP, they have changed and not for the better.
Mamdani on the other hand is a totally different brand of crazy. One who may well take down some Democrats in New York and possibly nationwide. Mamdani ,during a heavy snow fall, did not open the warming centers in New York City. As a result, 19 homeless people froze to death. Maybe this is their way of handling the homeless now that their plans have mostly been exposed as a grift. Mamdani has now gone after the governor of New York, in essence, with a threat of a large property tax increases if she doesn’t levy a tax on billionaires. Folks, a tax on property will be devastating to New York City.
Check it out…
In 2026, the average annual property tax in New York City is approximately $10,311, with an effective tax rate of about 1.90% for a typical home. While New York State’s average effective rate is 1.45%, NYC often has a higher tax burden, with median bills often exceeding $6,500-$12,000 depending on location and property type.
Increasing that will cause a large number of people to leave the City, not to mention the exodus already taking place.
Mamdani’s ideas, as stated above, make Gavin Newsom look like a moderate in comparison. Heck, all of the above electeds are starting to make Gavin look and sound reasonable. As a result, I would suggest to fellow Republicans, keep those electeds in power. Depending on the tea leaves you read, the election and control of Congress may hang in the balance…. Why not give us an edge based on the comments made by these crazies? Heck, I would toss a camera and a microphone in front of each of them daily to get their latest political takes.
Silence them at your own peril. The target of these political types are the broke, uneducated, criminal types, and illegal aliens. Not a group I would want to ally with. My prediction, Mamdani spends New York City into a fiscal cliff of epic proportions in a couple years! Tie the milestone around the necks of the far Left! Heck even the center Left. I want to make known just how whacky these types are.
The Chief
PS my rational is because we have some whackos on our side as well. The fewer on our side the better. Oh, having the Broad Squad wearing “Fuck ICE” buttons and yelling “K.K.K.” at the State of the Union speech last night was really classy as well.
