New York State Of Mind

 

New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani recently stated that we should look to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad for guidance. Seems reasonable to me.

“Honey, do you mind if I have a few other wives, some of whom could be quite young? Also, you will have to wear a burka and a hijab in public at all times. And you can’t leave the house without me or an adult male relative escorting you. You’re okay with that, aren’t you dear? Oh, and I might lightly beat you at times, but only for your own good. And you’ll have to get rid of your wine. And no more dogs. We’ll have to get rid of Duke and Fifi.”

“What?! But we both love them so!”

“Don’t worry, I may purchase a goat. But anyway, as I was saying, no more dogs, no more liquor, no more music, and no more dancing. Sound good?”

Only a deranged infidel would challenge the mayor, right?

As I previously wrote in “Marxists and Muslims: Mayhem In Minneapolis,” it is likely that “By, say, 2050, there may be only three main groups left in America: Marxists, Muslims, and the LGBTQIIA++++ Community. Anyone who thinks these three will play well together and oversee a thriving and coherent society is nuttier than Tim Walz.”

Turns out, the Marxist Muslim Mamdani is way ahead of schedule, a sort of overachieving underachiever. Some of the Big Apple’s homeless have already frozen to death, and neither snow nor garbage has been removed from many city streets. This is a truly remarkable achievement/non-achievement, coming just days after he took office.  

This is unlikely to help stem the tide of those fleeing the city due to the massive upcoming tax increases on businesses and the well off.

But Charles Berry, a NYC teacher, has a plan. One so brilliant only an “educator” could have conceived it. When asked what he would say to those worried about businesses fleeing the city due to the looming punitive tax increases, Berry stated with Almost Shakespearian prose, “Well, that's what I would say, it’s like we should take their business. And we run it, like, for our, like, the city ourselves. I mean, they can't leave the building; they can't just bring their entire workforce to Florida. They can't bring all of the resources that they have to build a business here to Florida." Huh? He added, “We’d also, like, make it illegal for them to, like, actually like leave, right?”

Ahh! Tax the hell out of them and then just make it illegal for them to leave. Brilliant! And, if those dastardly businesses should somehow leave anyway, before their establishments could be stolen from them, Berry would fine the hell out of them. Eff federalism, it’s good to be king!

Has any city been subjected to a quicker simultaneous dose of Islam and Marxism than New York City today?
