New York’s Collectivist Experiment: A Cautionary Tale for Colorado Too

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In his inaugural remarks, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said New York should “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”  https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/2006823362182394125?s=20 It sounded philosophical. For many residents listening, though, it also sounded practical—a signal that the city was preparing to step in more forcefully as everyday costs continued to rise. This shift, driven by mounting financial pressures on families, risks long-term trade-offs in housing supply, job growth, public services, and safety—are issues explored below. The appeal of collectivism in a city like New York does not begin with theory. It begins with pressure. ...

NYC Will Learn That Socialism Doesn’t Work

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”  — British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher On Tuesday, November 4, Zohran Mamdani was elected as Mayor of New York City. Mamdani is only 34, has never held a real job and openly claims to be a socialist. His Muslim faith was a major part of his campaign. In a city with a lot of Jewish citizens, he won with a majority of votes in a 3-way race. His campaign consisted mainly of a nice smile and a promise to make just about everything ‘free.’ Free transportation, groceries, housing, healthcare and childcare. But he didn’t explain who was going to pay for all of the ‘free stuff.’  NYC is about to experience one of its biggest crises, un...

Documents Show Activists Readying Hard Left Agenda For NYC

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The Democratic Socialists of America helped deliver their fellow comrade, Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayorship on Tuesday. Now, they have some demands, starting with policies about Israel. Aself-described “democratic socialist” will now govern New York City, capitalism's hub in America and the free world, and Just the News has obtained internal plans from the Democratic Socialists of America detailing how the NYC-DSA branch that Zohran Mamdani belongs to intends to pressure him to inject arguably extreme anti-Israel policies into the management -- and life -- of the Big Apple. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday, has been a longtime DSA member and leader, and he is listed&nbs...

Secret Service Neutralizes Communications Threat Near UN Summit in New York

By Greg Norman | Fox News Secret Service says devices were found 35 miles of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City. The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that it "dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials." The devices were concentrated within 35 miles of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York. "This network had the potential to disable cellphone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network in New York City," Matt McCool, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service's New York field office, said in a video released Tuesday. The Secret Service said it ...

Gingrich: Democrats abandon centrism for big government socialism

By Newt Gingrich | Commentary, Substack The big government socialist wing has become the dominant force in what used to be a much more centrist Democratic Party. This week Sen. Elizabeth Warren aggressively endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York and attacked former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams. It’s clear where the energy and drive in the Democratic Party is. Of course, Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was heralded by an astounding number of Democrats comfortable voting for explicit socialist Senator Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign. Running against establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, the Vermont socialist received 43 percent of the vote. When 12 million Americans were willing to turn the White House over to an avow...

Park Avenue Shooter Blamed NFL for Brain Injury Despite Never Playing

By Joe Marino, Kenneth Garger and Emily Crane | The New York Post The crazed gunman who killed an NYPD officer and three other people in a Midtown skyscraper on Monday evening was carrying a note in his pocket that expressed grievances with the NFL and claimed he suffered from CTE – a brain injury linked to head trauma, sources told The Post. Shane Tamura, 27, cited the NFL in the writings, which were found after he fatally shot himself in the chest on the 33rd floor of 345 Park Ave. – a swanky skyscraper that houses the football league’s headquarters. The mentally ill shooter wanted to shoot up the NFL HQ — but “mistakenly went up the wrong elevator banks” and ended up on a higher floor, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Tuesday. In the ramblings, which was several pages long, Tamura...

DOJ: Anti-Israel protester on Columbia University campus had direct Hamas connection

By Megan Palin | New York Post A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal. Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents. The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus. Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Ha...
