"Great cities fall to the sound of cheering crowds."
Ami Kozak on "X"
The Democratic Party put another bullet in its head this week with the election of the charming, affable jihadi communist Zohran Mamdani. Is "communist" too harsh a label? (He styles himself, softly, a "socialist.") Yet his campaign platform looks like a template from the venerable Soviet Council of Ministers circa 1957:
Free Everything: housing, buses and subways, college, child-care, government food stores. . . with a cherry-on-top of replacing police with social workers in high crime areas — because rapists and car-jackers would quit their rowdy ways
if only they could talk about their feelings.If you
believe the news reports emanating from Woke Central, Zohran received major support from the folks who predominate the Upper West Side, where he was raised-up by his Columbia prof Dad and film-maker Mom. That is,
voted in by the same high-income demographic that flocks to Zabar's Deli on Sunday mornings for smoked sturgeon and babka — a curious alliance. I guess this solves the old riddle of why Europe's Jews walked so placidly into Auschwitz.
"Life imitates art," old Oscar Wilde liked to say, and with so many
self-administered bullets in its head now, the Democratic Party looks more and more like
The Walking Dead, a necromantic tribute to its erstwhile mascot,
"Joe Biden," the Phantom of the White House. Fortunately, the Latinx bombshell,
AOC, America's answer to Eva Peron, has stepped up to the leadership role, flanked by the foxy
Jasmine Crockett, with their mentor,
Bernie Sanders close at hand (on a leash, really) barking validation for the Party's death trip.
