We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism, vowed Mamdani to cheers from the audience during his swearing-in ceremony. Conservatives on social media, however, were less attracted to the idea. So many people have fled Communism and forced collectivism. Watching one of the largest cities elect someone who wants to impose that ideology here is horrific. This isn't just about rhetoric. The human costs of these policies will be very real. Best of luck, NYC.
The next mayor of New York City is a foreign-born, Muslim socialist. Zohran Mamdani's rise to power inspired a fevered effort to describe what he is. Many conservatives have declared him an Islamic communist. But it's unlikely the secular Mamdani, who enthusiastically campaigned in gay clubs, is a jihadist. The communist accusation has more legs, as Mamdani is a self-declared socialist, albeit a milquetoast "democratic" kind.
Over the years, the United States and the State of Qatar have been bound together by close cooperation, shared interests, and the close relationship between our armed forces, reads the order. In recognition of this history, and in light of the continuing threats to the State of Qatar posed by foreign aggression, it is the policy of the United States to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attack.
