Extra - apparently NYC has had the safest summer it has ever had. Huh.

...and the Moderna vaccine has a 95% efficacy...
Read this instead:

Anyone who knows stats knows to never take the face value of a quoted statistic. If you dig into the details, you'll find a curious definition shuffle of a lot of misdemeanors and felonies in New York City's released stats since Mamdani took over. Most interesting is that REPORTED rapes (the real number is always at least double if not higher) have, by most accounts DOUBLED this year. You'll also find that trying to get those specific numbers requires serious digging. I just did for an hour and still didn't get a good solid public services source with raw data. Yet that stat is being dismissed as a 'classification and reporting' issue instead of recognizing the fact that, like in EVERY SINGLE EUROPEAN CITY where Islamic military age men have been allowed to reign unchecked, rapes have increased dramatically. Definite correlation. Causation? A solid probable.

Mark tape: Every place in the next few years where cultural Islam and sharia law are allowed to flourish, crime will go under reported, until the truth is discovered later that outright human rights violations were actually occurring. This isn't Islamophobia, this is recognition of the true track record of every single place Islam in it's cultural form has been allowed to take over since the year 632.

1. Socialists, not communists. Really depends on what you mean by "party" but I won't devolve into quibbling.

You say potato...I say one step from communism. Mamadni government run grocery stores...Now he has declared war on Amazon and 41 other retailers that sell E-bikes with a speed greater than 25MPH...what other parts of your life does he want to control for your "safety"?

1. Welp, JD/Rubio is Pres in 2028 it seems. I imagine she'll get bounced in Primary honestly.

Likely but you never know...for years they said Jeb Bush was the heir apparent and how did that work out? I don't care for JD and would rather see Rubio in the big chair. I am actually very impressed with his role as Sec State...and every other job the meme police have assigned to him.

1. I wouldn't count Maher (assuming Bill of the video) as old guard, but not willing to fight about it.

He is close enough and has at least served as the voice. When Maher is openly saying "Yes, my vote is in play. I'm not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the intifada like it's the World Cup."
