Yesterday I made a comment to a Substack post by Garry Kasporov about the NYC primary. I stated that the City was going to run out of money when those who pay the taxes leave. Someone who claims to be a secondary school teacher responded by calling me a garbage person with a garbage belief system. When I called the moron (And I also called him a moron) out on how he expected the city to pay for itself when 70 percent of the tax base vanishes he responded "New working class people will take their place." I responded by saying he obviously had no more than a sixth grade education. He responded by telling me he was extremely intelligent and asked how many great novels I had read. Having had enough I blocked the fool. But I felt like crying. Because I fear a large number of "educated" young people have been indoctrinated by communists.

Addendum: The bitter irony of the most Jewish city in North America electing an unabashed anti-Semite.

Indeed. I didn't even get to his rabid anti-Semitism. Thank you for noting this omission.

In the aftermath of Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s shellacking of Governor Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, the first question that springs to mind is: Where are the Republicans?

DO NOT get me started on this!!! Here in MPLS the last time there was a Republican on the city council was 1992. Last GOP Mayor 1972.
