The US government shut down is now on its 34th day. It really boggles the mind that the world's largest economy and (still) most powerful superpower periodically goes through this. And it causes exponentially increasing costs the longer it lasts (a very short shutdown would be like a long weekend, but after a few weeks, things will break down, contracts will lapse, government employee will stop spending etc). Just one example, 3.2 million passengers have been hit by flight cancellations in recent days. This is not just a US problem as it will begin to impact the global economy if it goes on for another week as fund flows begin to jam up.

HEY TEXAS — PAY ATTENTION

NYC was the dry run. Your state is THE target.

They call Texas “the Mecca of the West.” That isn’t praise — it’s a warning.

In my investigations, I learned that Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq - born in Pakistan - is reportedly moving to TEXAS.

He is not here to assimilate. He is here to transform.

He says it plainly:

“Islam will enter every house.”
“Their children will be Muslim.”
“You can stop immigration, you can do Muslim bans — it’s not stopping.”
“If you fight Islam, I will fight you — even if you are my own father.”
“Our sisters, promote the dawah… on TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp.”

They tell you their plans - so why aren’t your leaders listening?

If Texas falls to this takeover, there will be no turning back.

Texans: demand answers. Demand accountability.

I will be publicly reporting every elected official and bureaucrat who enables this takeover. No more platitudes — our public servants must answer for allowing this invasion to proceed.

Enough empty promises. Demand action now.

[Rudradev]

With Zohran Mamdani in charge, NYC has become a safe haven not just for any illegal immigrant but specifically for ISIS and other Islamic terrorists.

^ gods i hope so

here's to wishing mamdami all the best for his endeavors, a green paradise, khusboos ,wives, and homemade bombs for all, and a steady reversal to the halcyon days of 7th century

the states could do with a bit of dose of freedom and democracy at home, and this internal diversion also saves the rest of the world from the ever erratic nature of us politics, and the specific unhinged 5d chess ruling of the incumbent, i would even take a cessation of the constant attention whring on truth social, may he lead usistan to greener and greener pastures, godspeed to mamdami and his ever increasing (hopefully) ilk

Zohran Mamdani Elected NYC Mayor as Fabricated ISIS Threat Spreads Online
Last updated
9 hours ago
Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, won New York City's mayoral election on November 4, 2025, defeating Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa with about 50% of the vote, becoming the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor. His campaign emphasized rent caps, public transit expansion, and inequality reduction, mobilizing young voters. During the election, a fake ISIS document alleging a 'jihad victory' tied to his win circulated widely on X, but experts debunked it due to missing authentic markers and lack of official confirmation, highlighting misinformation risks.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

—-

In fact only X and Bharat-Rakshak carry this ISIS-Mamdani story.

I have serious misgivings about Mamdani, but this fake news and fear-mongering IMO crosses a limit.

Mercury (thiomersal) was removed from North American vaccines years ago.

I’ll add that while taqiya/chameleonhood might be a Mamdani trait, he spent Diwali campaigning at Hindu temples, the night before Election Day campaigning at gay bars; and promises to make NYC safe for LGBTQ+.

I don’t think a Muslim Brotherhood type could do that.

[A_Gupta]

From JVL at The Bulwark:

The single most important data point last night was the Hispanic vote. Union City, New Jersey, was my bellwether here because it’s a heavily Hispanic town (81.6 percent Hispanic) that swung toward Trump for two consecutive elections:

Trump vote share, 2016: 19 percent
Trump vote share, 2020: 28 percent
Trump vote share, 2024: 41 percent

How did Republican Jack Ciattarelli do in Union City? Holy shit:

15.1 percent.

[Rudradev]

Mamdani is a jihadi terrorist sympathizer, period. He has been voluble about that when it comes to Hamas. He has publicly embraced jihadis involved with the World Trade Center bombing of 1993. He has come out in public support of Khalistanis, who are a known proxy of the ISI jihad against India. He has echoed propaganda about supposed "Muslim genocide in Gujarat" that is completely indistinguishable from anything that has appeared in Daesh publications.

Whatever one may think of Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of the MAGA crowd, there is simply no comparison when it comes to the existential threat that jihadis pose to Hindus (Indian and Indian-American alike).

[Rudradev]

I’ll add that while taqiya/chameleonhood might be a Mamdani trait, he spent Diwali campaigning at Hindu temples, the night before Election Day campaigning at gay bars; and promises to make NYC safe for LGBTQ+.

I don’t think a Muslim Brotherhood type could do that.

You may want to pay attention to how the Muslim Brotherhood types managed to achieve their stranglehold over Hamtramck, Michigan.

This was a town with a Muslim immigrant plurality (not majority). Democrats (including LGBT party officials and campaign workers) enthusiastically encouraged Muslim candidates to run for office because DEI. Riding on Democratic party funding, messaging, and campaign machinery, the Muslims of Hamtramck managed to vote in a city council that was ALL Muslim Brotherhood types.

I wasn't there or anything, but I can bet this wouldn't have been possible without some amount of campaigning in gay bars and lip service to LGBT+ rights, etc.

Once they were elected, the city council determined that municipal buildings would stop displaying the rainbow flag for pride month. A couple of gay municipal employees defied the order and displayed the flag anyway. The city council fired them from their jobs.

If there is a good reason to assume Zohran Scumdani is less adept at taqqiya than his counterparts in Hamtramck, I don't see it.

AI Overview


+10
Zohran Mamdani does not support Hamas; he has explicitly condemned the group. He has described the October 7, 2023, attacks as a "horrific war crime" and has called for the return of the hostages.
However, Mamdani has faced significant criticism and accusations of being a "Hamas sympathizer" from opponents and some Jewish leaders due to certain actions and statements, including:
Initial statement after October 7: In his initial public statement the day after the attacks, he did not mention Hamas by name, drawing sharp condemnation from critics.
Reluctance to condemn fully: Early in his mayoral campaign, when asked if Hamas should lay down its arms, he sidestepped the question, saying all parties, including Hamas and the Israeli military, must "abide by international law". He later clarified that he condemned Hamas.
Criticism of Israel: Mamdani is a strident critic of Israel's government, has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, and has described it as an apartheid state, which has led some, including the Israeli Foreign Ministry, to label him a "mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda".
Views on "Globalize the Intifada": He initially appeared reluctant to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada," which many Jews find threatening due to its association with violence. He has since said he would discourage the use of the phrase.
Despite these controversies, Mamdani has consistently maintained his opposition to antisemitism, met with rabbis, and attended synagogue services as he courted Jewish voters.

Rudradev & A Gupta nice discussion. Here is a very pertinent article on Jihad and Jihad sympathy, various ways one can participate and all of how it can be used to achieve establishment of Islam. This is an article where nothing is hidden.

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/20214/r ... s-of-jihad

Imagine how unfortunate it is that most folks (non muslims) only think Jihad means physical fight and quantify it accordingly. This is a fundamental mistake but also a lethal one, may be not to the person who does it but to his future generations.

Wow, “outgoing mayor Amer Ghalib … was recently nominated by President Donald Trump to be the U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait” - this is from Hamtramck, Michigan- does not sound like a Democrat.

https://www.wxyz.com/news/voices/adam-a ... al-results

Maybe this story that Democrats helped a Muslim majority city council be elected needs to be examined more closely.

Maybe Trump can nominate Mamdani to be Ambassador to Syria

[A_Gupta]

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politi ... 241155001/

This is from 2021:

Amer Ghalib, a 42-year-old health care worker, has defeated Hamtramck Mayor Karen Majewski, marking the first time in 100 years that a non-Polish mayor will lead the city.

According to results from Wayne County and confirmed by the Hamtramck city clerk, Ghalib received 68% of the vote while Majewski received 31%.

….
Cultural issues were intensely debated during the campaign, with Majewski touting her support for LGBTQ people and the flying of the Pride flag outside City Hall this summer. Majewski cast the tie-breaking vote to fly the flag.

Ghalib opposed the flying of the Pride flag, saying that if such a vote came up again, he would consider what the majority of Hamtramck believes. LGBTQ issues have existed in Hamtramck since 2008, when voters rejected a ballot proposal to include LGBTQ people as a group protected against discrimination by the city. Religious groups rallied to defeat the proposal.

[A_Gupta]

Amer Ghalib is apparently a Democrat who endorsed Trump.

[ShauryaT]

If there is a good reason to assume Zohran Scumdani is less adept at taqqiya than his counterparts in Hamtramck, I don't see it.

The only thing I will add: While there would be deviations and meandering by the faithful, eventually the ideology in the book and its historical experiences will win. No muslim can conquer Islam. Islam will conquer them.

Muslim Brotherhood leaders openly explain how they plan to conquer America and Europe and destroy Western civilization:

“Muslims tried and failed to conquer Europe for 700 years through war.

But now there’s a much easier way: we can peacefully infiltrate via immigration, with help from naive Western governments and voters.”

Pay close attention, and you’ll understand how New York and London ended up with Muslim mayors!

Indian Americans must have kept away from voting seeing the hate on both sides for the Hindus. Trump's friends the Jihadis ,Pakistanis, Bangladeshis voted for Mamdani. Add to that the other major issue of inflation etc that kept traditional Republican voters away as well.
Only 1 out of 9 New Yorkers voted for Mamdani, pollster says
After wins from far-Left Democratic and socialist candidates, including Zohran Mamdani in New York, there are growing concerns the party has taken a major turn that will cause wide divisions and ultimate defeat for the party in the midterms.
They won all the key races, but the races aren’t as decisive as some people want them to be,” Scott Rasmussen, who is the president of RMG Research, as well as a pollster and analyst, said during a one-on-one interview with the National News Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat on Wednesday.
The reality is only about one out of nine New Yorkers voted for Mamdani,” Rasmussen said, adding that Mamdani ran a good campaign against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is “deeply flawed.”
As for New Jersey and Virginia, Rasmussen said both are Democratic states, so the wins there aren’t surprising.
“We also have to remember that these kinds of races -- low turnout, off-year races – are dominated by groups who typically vote Democratic, especially people with a post-graduate degree,” he said, noting that the ongoing government shutdown likely played a part, particularly in Virginia.
“The impact across the nation is growing. When we first polled on this in the earliest days of the shutdown, hardly anybody noticed anything was going on," he added. "As of yesterday, 44% of voters nationwide say they have been impacted by the shutdown, at least to some degree. Sixteen percent – so, one out of six voters -- said they’ve been impacted ‘a lot.’ We’re starting to see the impact in flight delays and other things, and I think we’ll see those numbers keep going up. And, yes, voters hate shutdowns, and they blame the party in power.”

Zohran Mamdani supports Khalistanis who killed Jawaharlal Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi.

You are glorifying Zohran and I don't think Nehru ji will like that.
