Two days before the New York mayoral election, Michael Lange made a big electoral prediction not just of who would win overall, or in each borough or neighborhood, but block by block. Lange, a political analyst born and raised in New York City, has spent over a decade in progressive politics and has become something of a local celebrity this year for his deep dives into city data and polling.
If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don't want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win, he wrote.
My father, a proud Naval Academy graduate, served two tours in Vietnam, flying A-4s off aircraft carriers. He raised me with a strong sense of patriotism, a commitment to service, and a belief in community - a community that includes everyone: rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight, left and right, young and old, Jews, Muslims, Christians, and everyone in between.
