Marxist Muslim Ugandan NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani Now Only Single Digits Behind Cuomo

Fast talking good looking Mayoral Candidate Mamdani for NYC, belies the truth of his agenda for the city. He was wise enough to rid himself of any foreign accent from Uganda. The attacks on Cuomo are starting in earnest. This is a race to be watched in earnest.

An update on Bunks Covid. My rocket ride with Covid seems to have taken a turn for the better and I am starting to see a light at the end of this nasty tunnel. Last week I had thought it had broken, but got stuck in a relapse. Thanks for all your prayers and concern. Still a long way to go.

Let’s update the NYC Mayors race.

From the New York Times:

The ballot order has been randomly chosen, and you almost have to wonder if the lottery balls were momentum-weighted. Atop the ballot will be Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman who has quickly risen to second place in public polls. The front-runner, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, will be listed sixth. Does ballot order matter? It didn’t seem to in 2021, when Aaron Foldenauer nabbed the top spot, and the eventual winner, Eric Adams, was listed ninth.

What, if anything, surprised you as you pulled together the data?

Well, Mamdani’s numbers are obviously pretty eye-popping. It’s not just that he has a lot of donors, or that he’s raised a lot of money — he’s also managed to reach voters in seemingly every corner of the city. There are neighborhoods where almost everyone who made a donation to any campaign donated to Mamdani. Like in Bushwick, there were a total of 785 donors who gave to Democrats, and 692 of them were Mamdani donors.

Four years ago we have his selling point of Rent Control for the city which no doubt is appealing with its high housing costs.

From an earlier post:

Socialist NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani leads a protest against the arrest of Newark’s Mayor for storming an ICE facility. Zohran Mamdani has said that migrants are “residents” of wherever they live and that “we will protect you.”

To say this candidate is a Socialist is being kind. Flying under the radar is this foreign Marxist Muslim Mayoral candidate that not enough attention is being given. Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda.

The New York City primary Mayoral race is June 24. It is a jungle primary where voters select the top five candidates so anything can happen. As goes the Primary I suspect goes the General election. After all it is NYC.

Just a few weeks away. Mamdani is only single digits away from taking out Cuomo. Part from an earlier post.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda. Why am I not surprised? So far the race is shaping up for the leaders to be Cuomo, Progressive Landers and the Mamdani the Socialist. Cuomo is looking better, or rather, the last best hope. As of now there are seven candidates. It’s a jungle primary with the voter ranking the top 5 candidates. A few weeks to go until the primary election. Here is the Mamdani bio….

…. Taking that lesson with him, he went on to co-found his college’s first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter and later organize across the country with different progressive organizations seeking to win national elections as well as expand healthcare coverage. As life took its inevitable turns, with detours in film, rap, and writing, it was always organizing that ensured that the events of our world would not lead him to despair, but to action.

Zohran is proud to be the first South Asian man to serve in the NYS Assembly as well as the first Ugandan and only the third Muslim to ever be a member of the body. For too long, communities such as these have been left out of our state’s politics and priorities. Zohran will seek to amplify the voices of the preferably unheard across both the district and the state for as long as he remains in office.

So this Muslim foreigner thinks he has a good chance now at being the Mayor of New York City. The latest>

Here is a clip in his early career.

Zohran Mamdani is one of a handful of democratic socialists who will join the state Legislature next year. He joins us to talk about his plans for when he takes office in January.

Good luck NYC.

Democrats Angry As Vice Chair David Hogg Aims at Ousting Old Party Members in Primaries

Who in the world is David Hogg? Why he is the new Vice Chair of the Democrat party and he has big plans.

The move by the 25-year-old Hogg, a survivor of the horrific shooting seven years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in south Florida, to spend money against fellow Democrats is seen as an unprecedented action by a DNC official.

To say “unprecedented” is an understatement. Because this is David Hogg who somehow got himself in the Democrat leadership. One can count that those running against the incumbents won’t come from the middle of the road.

Earlier Bunk posted about the bizarre Democrat convention back in February.

Democrat Leadership Election a Total Disaster – David Hogg Elected Vice Chair

Shock over at the DNC as they elect their leadership. David Hogg is now vice chair of the Democrat Party. Ken Martin from Minnesota was named chair, his protege Tim Walz.

Yes unbelievable.

No, this is not a parody. This is not a comedy sketch or skit. This is not a brutal mockery of the DNC or liberal ideology. No, this is absolutely legit. These people are serious and don’t understand how stupid they look and seem and are.

A few highlights from the earlier post:

Axios:

State of play: Hogg told the New York Times that his outside group, Leaders We Deserve, will spend $20 million to elect younger primary challengers to older incumbents in safely Democratic districts.

  • The 25-year-old gun control activist described a “culture of seniority politics” that has made the Democratic Party less effective.
  • He also attempted to front-run some of the criticism he said he expected to face, predicting a “a smear campaign against me” that would aim to “destroy my reputation and try to force me to stop doing this.”
  • Axios did not receive a response to a request for comment to Leaders We Deserve.

What we’re hearing: Democrats’ anger boiled over in private this week, with several venting that Hogg is putting his own interests above those of the party.

  • “I think this is a mistake,” said a second House Democrat who spoke anonymously. “Now, are people pissed? … I don’t know a single person who is happy about it.”
  • A third told Axios it “seems inappropriate for a DNC vice chair to threaten sitting Dems.”
  • A fourth said they are “totally dumbfounded” that “instead of focusing on [winning], we’re focusing inward in a circular firing squad.”

Yes, but: Some lawmakers, particularly progressives, are defending his plan, arguing that the party needs an effective core in order to appeal to voters.

  • “He makes some good points. We do have some ranking members who should step aside,” said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.),
  • McGovern, the ranking member of the House Rules Committee, added that Democrats also “have some long term members who are terrific.”
  • A fifth House Democrat who spoke anonymously said Democrats “should have the most effective members right now. Competition is not a bad thing,” though they argued age shouldn’t be the only criteria.

From Axios

What does James Carville think about the plan?

And what kind of candidates will David Hogg be looking for to primary his own Dems?

The very best of the swamp.

LA 100 Fire Trucks Out of Service for Repairs, but Money for an Electric Fire Truck

No less than criminal one must conclude after seeing the interview of Fire Chief Crowley on CNN. No money to maintain over 100 fire trucks, but money for an electric fire truck you will learn. The first in the nation, they exclaim.

Breathtaking, the lack of concern for people and property. We hear that the Firemen from Mexico have arrived. Where are the federal forces that fight our national fires? Those tankers who are used during the fire season throughout the west? Are you telling me there are only two tanker planes, one of which has been down for most of the fire?

News Max:

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley confirmed that more than 100 fire trucks — over half the fleet — were in need of repairs and out of commission due to budget cuts when wildfires ravaged the area this week.

Crowley made the comments in an interview with CNN on Saturday, one day after asserting the city failed the department she commands, saying budget cuts eliminated civilian positions, like mechanics, that led to the trucks sitting idly in a parking lot.

The LAFD fleet has 183 fire trucks, the Daily Mail reported.

LAFD– Electric Pumper

The Rosenbauer RTX that rolled into Hollywood’s Station 82 is the first fully electric pumper — meaning it has hoses, pumps, and water tanks onboard — in North America. The short ranges that emergency vehicles travel in cities make them especially well-suited to electrification, but there’s a diesel range-extender onboard that can charge the battery for backup during longer calls.

It’s an important first from a noise and emissions perspective, but perhaps even more significantly, this engine is compact, more like a transit bus than a traditional fire truck. “Every single thing is different,” says Fields. “There’s nothing about it that’s like the rest of our fleet.” Because the truck is shorter and narrower — it doesn’t even have exterior mirrors — and has four-wheel steering, it’s much more
