Q. How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mamdani?

A. Vote for Andrew Cuomo.

When inexperience meets moral arrogance, the result isn’t leadership — it’s lunacy. New York deserves better than performative politics dressed in progressive drag.

The final debate between Cuomo, Mamdani, and Sliwa was revealing—if not somewhat painful. Mamdani definitely came in last, looking like a deer in the headlights on key issues. I said this after the first debate, and I’ll say it again: Mamdani’s inexperience was glaring.

And yet, this is the same man the far-left wants to anoint as the future of New York City politics—the “People’s Prince-ss” of progressivism—who can’t even articulate the basics of governance, let alone moral clarity. As much as he likes to think he does.

FACT: When the far-left calls Israel’s self-defense “colonialism” and can’t bring themselves to say the word Hamas, it’s not activism—it’s antisemitism with a moral superiority complex.

When I read that Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter had denounced the Gaza ceasefire and accused the United States of “complicity,” I thought it was satire. Then I realized it, unfortunately, is the politics of 2025. The climate of hate—especially Jew hate—is here to stay, and it’s our job to either pay it no mind or play by their rules, which won’t end well for them, judging by the many Israeli victories we have enjoyed in the midst of the October 7 war.

Let’s be clear: the ceasefire they’re talking about—an “exchange of hostages,” as The New York Times grossly mischaracterized it—isn’t an abstract policy debate. It’s life or death. It’s women and children held underground for months. And yes, let’s throw in innocent Palestinians too.

Yet Mamdani’s party statement never mentioned Hamas. Not the kidnappings of civilians. Not the sexual violence. Not the bodies still missing. Not the execution of innocent Palestinians who want a better life. It’s the usual recycled garbage about “genocide” and “occupation”—bla bla bla, yada yada yada—moral outrage camouflaged as concern from people who can’t bring themselves to condemn terror when it targets Jews or Palestinians.

Welcome to the official progressive, socialist Democratic Party, sucking on the teat of a nepo baby prince as their proposed leader to helm New York City. What was not too long ago a utopia—a city built with the blood, sweat, and tears of many Jewish immigrants who escaped real genocide—is now on the chopping block of a jihadist sympathizer. And the People’s Prince-ss Mamdani intends to be mayor? Of New York City? Gay gezunteh haite.

When a politician calls Israel’s fight for survival a “colonial project” while hemming and hawing about the atrocities committed by Hamas, that’s not nuance—it’s gross dishonesty.

The media clearly wants Mamy to win by giving him all the oxygen. This is why we, the people, have lost faith in “legacy media” due to their endless malpractice. When standards vanish, bias fills the void.

New York deserves better. Its Jewish population—1.4 million strong—shouldn’t have to tolerate a mayoral hopeful who traffics in blood-libel-adjacent talking points. Nor should Muslim or Arab New Yorkers be reduced to props for his ambition. They deserve leaders who build bridges, not burn them for attention.

Maybe Mamdani sees himself as the people’s champion, but to me, he’s the People’s Prince-ss of the Cave Daddies—living in a political enclave, surrounded by the echo of his own righteousness. I left New York City in 2013, and watching from the warm weather of Beverly Hills as the unfolding catastrophe—reminiscent of the 1970s, with garbage piling up and crime out of control—has made me grateful to be a refugee from the city I love so much.

Truth still matters. Facts still matter. And those who abandon both have no business asking for anyone’s vote—or their trust.
