The Morning Report — 5/ 28/26

Good morning kids. As most or all of you know, I was born and raised in New York City and spent the better part of my life there. Even the bad old times of the 70s and 80s were Halcyon days compared to today with what has happened and what is yet to happen thanks to what my former neighbors and sadly even some old friends have done by voting for their own destruction:

Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.” New York City Council member Vickie Paladino, one of Mamdani’s most vociferous and insightful critics, explains: “The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran’s DSA-connected nonprofits with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets — New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.”

...Mamdani, however, appears to be both a convinced Marxist and a devout Muslim. There is no real contradiction here; certainly Karl Marx himself made atheism a cornerstone of his secular religion, but Communism has always found a ready partner in Islam. This is because they have a deep kinship: both are authoritarian, totalitarian systems that impose draconian punishments for dissidents. Both deny the freedom of speech and other indispensable elements of a free society.

Also, once his Marxist comrades control New York City’s housing market, who will get the housing? Not political undesirables, i.e., patriots. Instead, Muslim migrants, including an unknowable number of criminals and jihadis, and others who will help the leftist/Islamic alliance stay in power, will receive preferment.

Sadly I still have a number of friends, and two who are so insufferably liberal that I consider them now merely acquaintances. They live in a very expensive upper west side Co-op and I hate to wish it upon them but I do hope they get what they vote for good and hard. Maybe then they'll wake up, but considering they voted for Dinkins and DeBolshevik while denigrating anything and everything even slightly to the right of even Ed Koch, well so be it. And now I'm picturing the scene from Dr. Zhivago where the Bolshvik apparatchiks are confiscating the wealthy Ralph Richardson's home and moving scores of bedraggled poor people in, "In the name of the people." of course he protests that "He is one of the people," and is quickly silenced by Omar Sharif before Tom Courtenay can drag the old fool out and shoot him as a counter-revolutionary.

All that said, it likely won't be long before one or all of President Trump's properties will be condemned, and then seized and handed over to Mamdani's commie cronies in the name of social justice, I assume at or not long after 12:01:00 on 1/21/29, if Mamdani is still mayor or one of his cronies succeeds him.

On a not unrelated note, just north of the border in Canada, also well on the way to Islamo/Communist control, we had this disturbing story...

"Canadian Man Allegedly Put To Death After Fast Food Parking Lot Bowel Assessment"
Yes, you read that right gentle reader...

A doctor in Ontario, Canada, allegedly evaluated a man for assisted death outside a Tim Hortons and, months later, drove him to the building where he died.

The patient was 45-year-old Thomas Dillon, who lived with Crohn’s disease along with mental illness and addiction, according to the National Post, citing The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper that first reported the case and identified Dillon as the subject of one complaint. A coroner’s review of an anonymized 2024 case the reporting connects to Dillon described a man who battled addiction, struggled to keep a job, found relationships difficult and leaned on family for housing and money. Dr. James MacLean and a second clinician allegedly approved Dillon for assisted death under Track 2, a category for people whose deaths are not near but who endure intolerable suffering from a serious, untreatable condition. (RELATED: Canada Reportedly Set To Surpass 100,000 Assisted Suicides) MacLean allegedly ran the eligibility check outside the coffee shop on June 27, 2023, and traded dozens of texts with Dillon as they planned the death, according to The Globe and Mail. On Jan. 29, 2024, the two met again at the restaurant, and MacLean drove him to an industrial site where the dead are prepared for funeral homes. Dillon’s family told the outlet his wish to die came from mental illness, not the bowel disease. In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail. A reviewer determined MacLean fell short of professional standards in five of 20 files examined, the National Post reported. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) issued a verbal caution and ordered six months of clinical supervision, chart audits and remedial training. He keeps his license and can still perform assisted deaths.

It won't be long before Crohn's disease is joined by Islamophobia and "hate speech" as a justification for doctors to euthanize people the state deems as a threat to themselves and to THE PEOPLE

So, the party of "Looters and Shooters" as Ace labeled them. Well, there's looting and shooting and then there's the double dose of nightmare fuel highlighted above.

Have a good day.

In December last year, research from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that approximately 80 percent of Somali refugee-headed households in Minnesota are on at least one form of welfare, further underscoring the vast extent of waste attributable to just one small fraction of the U.S. population.

Rush, until recently a “senior executive service-level employee” at the CIA, reportedly requested the massive haul of gold and foreign currency for “work-related expenses” between November and March.
