What Mamdani's win means for New York City's food scene !

His future constinuents ain;t got no Snap Food bennies  ,so he's in the tropics sucking up the 

sun at a resort., during a Dem conference with the Gov of NY.

The optics of a well ceded far leftist is so typical of the new face of the Dem party.

 

Ai Overview:

"New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is in Puerto Rico for the annual Somos Conference, a major gathering of New York Democrats. He traveled with a delegation that included New York Governor Kathy Hochul". 

What Mamdani's win means for the New York City food scene. Many NY dem Elites are snubbing their constituents, as they go without food benefits.   Shame! Shame!

 

"Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani jetted down to Puerto Rico for the annual SOMOS political retreat, where he basked in his victory by co-hosting a cocktail reception Thursday with embattled ally Attorney General Letitia James.

Chants of “tax the rich” broke out as Gov. Kathy Hochul took the stage at the DC 37 union event that had to be moved outside the El Caribe Hilton to accommodate the more than 200 attendees".

Zohran Kwame Mamdani is the current mayor-elect of New York City. He is frequently mentioned as being Muslim in faith and being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. 

 

It's reported that Mamdani has been financially supported by Muslim organizations like CAIR.

CAIR allegedly has ties to HAMAS.

https://www.policemag.com/news/fbi-document-depicting-relationship-between-cair-and-terror-group-hamas-published

Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour claimed Mamdani received funds from CAIR.

 

Is it reasonable to think that donors expect a return on their investment?

 

What could CAIR, who is apparently sympathetic to HAMAS (October 7, 2025) possibly want from Mamdani?

 

Well, while surfing some more, I read the following and it aroused my memory of stories of treachery.

 

"You can’t be a Marxist and a jihadist and an Islamist and a fundamental Muslim all at the same time. You gotta pick a side."

Linda Sarsour

Sounds ominous to me. Time will tell what Mamdani really is. Will he need to claim to be Muslim or socialist whenever it's necessary? Hoping he'll never have to face such a situation.

 

But regarding DSA possibly working with islamists...

 

I'm not a walking encyclopedia nor do I have a photographic memory that instantly retrieves examples of bad outcomes between socialist and islamist alliances so I checked in with ChatGPT: 

 

Yes — history offers several examples where socialist or leftist movements and Islamist groups temporarily cooperated against a common enemy (often colonial powers, monarchies, or Western-backed regimes), only for the Islamists to later turn on the leftists once power was within reach.

Here are some notable cases:

 

1. Iran (1979 Iranian Revolution)

Alliance: Leftist groups such as the Tudeh Party (communist) and Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) joined forces with Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamist movement to overthrow the Shah.

Common goal: End the Shah’s Western-backed monarchy.

After victory: Once the Shah fell, Khomeini’s clerical regime consolidated power and eliminated leftist allies.

The Tudeh Party was banned, its leaders executed or imprisoned.

The MEK turned against the Islamic Republic, leading to a brutal crackdown — tens of thousands of MEK members were killed in the 1980s.

 

2. Afghanistan (1980s Soviet-Afghan War)

Alliance (indirect): The Mujahideen (Islamist fighters) received U.S. and Western support against the Soviet-backed People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), a Marxist-Leninist government.

Before that: Many Afghan leftists and nationalists supported overthrowing the monarchy, but Islamist factions soon dominated.

Aftermath: The Islamists wiped out socialist elements entirely. When the PDPA collapsed, the Mujahideen factions fought each other, and the Taliban (a more radical Islamist force) later rose to power — executing or exiling remaining leftists.

 

3. Sudan (1980s–1990s)

Alliance: In the early stages of Sudan’s political realignments, Islamists under Hassan al-Turabi worked tactically with socialist and Arab nationalist factions to oppose military dictatorships.

After power: Once Islamists gained control through the 1989 coup (Omar al-Bashir’s regime), they purged leftists, communists, and secular nationalists from the government and universities.

 

4. Egypt (1950s–1970s)

Alliance: Before Gamal Abdel Nasser consolidated power, the Muslim Brotherhood and Arab socialists/nationalists cooperated against British influence and King Farouk’s rule.

After victory: Nasser built a socialist-leaning Arab nationalist state — but then saw Islamists as a threat and brutally repressed the Brotherhood (executions, imprisonments).

Later, when Islamists resurged under Sadat, they in turn assassinated him in 1981 — a cycle of temporary alliance and mutual destruction.

 

5. Palestine (1970s–1980s)

Alliance: Secular-leftist groups like the PLO and Islamist groups like Hamas sometimes coordinated loosely against Israel.

Afterward: Hamas, with a more Islamist orientation, began undermining leftist factions, eventually seizing full control of Gaza in 2007 and eliminating or repressing rival socialist and secular movements (like Fatah’s left-wing elements).

 

Pattern

This pattern — cooperation, then conflict — usually emerges because:

 

1. Both sides oppose a mutual enemy (colonial powers, monarchies, orange men or Western-backed regimes).

2. Once that enemy is gone, Islamists reject secularism and socialism as “un-Islamic”, while leftists reject theocracy.

 

3. The stronger faction (often the Islamists, due to mass religious appeal) consolidates power through purges.

 

So I don't expect radical islamists to demand front page coverage stating they are Mamdani's puppeteers, and are using DSA as useful idiots. 😆 I presume that's not the case. But I'm reminded of the possibility in this day and age of politics that there could be fly $h!t in the pepper. 

 

My advice to DSA: If you're allied with Islamist factions... WATCH YOUR SIX

 

 

 

“Nyc -Dsa’s listed a dozen demands for the incoming Mamdani  Admin”.
The Democratic Socialists of America’s “Big Apple chapter will push Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to implement a virulently anti-Israel agenda, leaked documents show”.

 Will Mamdani give in to the demands on day 1 or pretend he didnt get the Memo? More shocking allegations in the link!

Mayor-elect Mamdani reeks of Lenin — but NYC’s wise safeguard against Marxism stands in his way

"He ranted how the poor will finally have their day — in a city that already doles out everything from free health care to subsidized housing".

 The Opinion piece  brings back memories of when NYC was on the verge of Bankruptcy , Police being laid off, garbage piling up on the streets. 

And then came  “The Financial Emergency Act” of 1975.. to save the day.

One must wonder how many useful idiots voted on the Socialist narrative of"Free".

 

"Gov. Hochul not on board with Mamdani's promise of free buses for New Yorkers".

 

"I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways," she said. "But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course, we can."

And it begins to fester, Mamdani's endorsement of people who sympathize with Terror.

Zohran Mamdani backing controversial CAIR-linked NY assembly candidate – who has made disturbing 9/11 comments

 

"Mamdani’s backing of Aber Kawas, a longtime Palestinian-American activist, was relayed by a member of his mayoral transition team during a closed-door Democratic Socialists of America meeting in Manhattan last week, according to a Daily News report".

“[Mamdani] told me that while he has tremendous respect for everyone in this race, he has said that he will support Aber in whatever she pursues,” top political adviser to the Mamdani transition Sam McCann said during the meeting, according to the News".
