Minneapolis Democratic incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey successfully defended his office despite a challenge from his left in Democratic socialist Omar Fateh, the candidate some have compared to New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Minneapolis uses ranked-choice voting, and Frey was able to pull together majority support after the third round of tabulation. After the first round, he already had a clear lead over Fateh — 41.8% to 31.7%. Tabulation is complete for the Mayor. Jacob Frey is the unofficial winner. https://t.co/KTODcbQebb — Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services (@VoteMpls) November 5, 2025 Throughout the campaign, the Somali-American attempted to capitalize on the type of messaging that had made Mamdani resonate in New York City — but with more limited success. Among other things, he promised on the campaign trail to make Minneapolis the “last line of defense” against President Donald Trump and a “safe haven” for everything from illegal immigrants and abortions to transgender hormones and surgeries. Fateh took direct aim at Frey on his campaign website, saying, “With Donald Trump back in the Oval Office, the progress towards equity and justice that our communities have worked so hard to create is in jeopardy. Mayor Frey has said that our approach to fighting Trump is extreme — he’s wrong.” The Democratic socialist also adopted similar policy positions to Mamdani’s on making things — housing in particular — more affordable, promising to implement a rent freeze if elected, and calling for additional expenditures on housing designated for “LGBTQ+ and BIPOC people,” because he said they were “some of the highest at risk for losing their housing, being over-criminalized by [Minneapolis police], and being harassed by their employer.” Fateh was initially endorsed by the local Democratic Party in the Minneapolis mayoral race over Mayor Frey. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us,” Fateh said at the time. But Frey argued that the endorsement was unlawful due to the process by which the group had voted, and that resulted in the Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) withdrawing the endorsement later.

On Wednesday, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani revealed the four members of his transition team. Examining their public comments, it is not difficult to see why the hard-leftist Mamdani would select them. Mamdani, 35, named Elana Leopold — who served in several senior roles under former Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio — as well as former FTC Commissioner Lina Khan, Maria Torres-Springer, former Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development & Workforce in Eric Adams’s administration, and Melanie Hartzog, former Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services under de Blasio. Leopold helped run the Broad Room, “a political action training camp for young women and those who identify as nonbinary,” Fortune reported. Khan, who was born in London to a family of Pakistani origin, served as Chair of the FTC from June 15, 2021, until January 31, 2025. She has slammed the Trump administration, saying at the 2025 James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Lecture in Economic Inequality at the Harvard Kennedy School, “As we look beyond the DOGE wreckage, we should figure out what a reformed approach to governing should look like, rather than assume we should go back to the way things have been.” “We’re here to talk about what I think will be legacy-defining for this administration, and that is our support of minority and women-owned businesses across the city,” Torres-Springer stated in November 2024. Speaking about the New York Democratic proposal to raise the age for teenagers who have committed crimes to serve time in adult prisons, Hartzog said, “It’s outdated. It’s unfair. … We need to keep youth out of adult prisons.” In 2021, when the De Blasio administration required all New York City employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19, she declared, “This mandate is a bold step that protects our families, friends, and communities, including those that are not yet eligible for the vaccine such as our City’s youngest residents. It builds on our continued leadership and innovative strategies to fighting this pandemic and bring us a step closer to a recovery for all.”

Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) tore into Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones — who won Tuesday’s election despite the cloud of scandal that threatened to engulf him — on Wednesday, saying that he was no less concerned about Jones’ ability to carry out the duties of his office in an unbiased manner. Youngkin mentioned the scandal that had followed Jones, stemming from text messages he’d sent three years earlier that advocated the assassination of then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and suggested that Gilbert and his wife should have to watch one of their young children die.

They were abhorrent, and I think that they, once again, reiterate that you can’t come into this job if you are espousing death on a political enemy, the death of children, and the death of law enforcement,” Youngkin posted on X. “And I believe, just as I’ve always believed that that disqualifies him for the job,” the governor continued. “The next administration’s going to have to figure out how to deal with that because they have law enforcement, that they’re going to need to make sure, feel good about doing the job. They’re going to have to make sure that parents with children feel safe.” “And that’s going to be a challenge going forward. My position has not changed; that there is absolutely no excuse for what he wrote. None. And we live in a society today that I think has lost its way, at least some folks have, on their willingness to almost accept violence and political violence as a solution,” Youngkin concluded. Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears lost her bid for the governor’s mansion on Tuesday, meaning that Youngkin will soon be replaced by Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who initially condemned Jones’ text messages, but stopped short of calling for him to step away from the race.

MIAMI, Florida — President Donald Trump warned Americans that they face two options after Tuesday night’s election losses to Democrats: communism or common sense. The president spoke on Wednesday at the America Business Forum, where he accused Democrats of purposefully blocking American progress. He touted the results of his administration thus far: lifting 600,000 Americans off food stamps, employing 1.9 million more American-born workers than the day he took office, more American workers than any time in the history of the United States, wages for factory workers up by $1,300, construction worker wages up to $2,200 dollars, Thanksgiving meals 25% lower than a year ago, egg prices down 85 percent, energy prices down, interest rates down, and more. “Yet as we speak,” he warned, “the Democrats in Congress are trying to put all of this progress at risk — and drag us back to the Biden policies of soaring prices, crushing energy costs, massive spending, open borders, and rampant inflation.” “The Radical Left Democrats are causing millions of Americans who depend on food stamps to go without benefits, they’re forcing federal workers to go without paychecks, and they are stranding thousands of travelers at the airports … All because they want to return to the failed Biden policies, and also Obama policies,” he warned the crowd, joking about former President Barack Obama’s criticisms of him. The crowd at America Business Forum goes wild for President Donald Trump! pic.twitter.com/pCDyhOfqDn — Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) November 5, 2025 “It is time for Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrat Congress to stop playing games with people’s lives — and pass a clean funding bill … and to reopen government immediately … they don’t like it to be reopen because we are setting records.” Trump reflected on last night’s elections, in which Democrats won the mayoral seat in New York City and the governors’ seats in Virginia and New Jersey. Jay Jones, who fantasized about killing a Republican and his children, will now be the attorney general of Virginia. Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim socialist, is the next mayor of New York City. “If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the results of yesterday’s election in New York — where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation,” Trump warned, and in response, the audience booed aggressively. The president joked that Miami, where he was speaking, would soon become the refuge of those fleeing New York City and Mamdani’s communist policies. “After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear—we have a choice between communism and common sense,” the president promised. Communism has not worked, the president insisted, pointing out that history shows this. “They stand for crime, chaos, and corruption—we stand for law, order, and justice. They put America last—we put AMERICA FIRST. And as long as I am in the White House, the United States is not going communist in any way, shape, or form,” he promised. Mamdani delivered remarks on Tuesday evening after he was declared the winner of the New York City mayoral election, taking shots at President Trump, calling the president a “despot,” and encouraging the president to turn the volume up if he was watching Mamdani’s remarks. “If we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves,” he told his supporters. “After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.”

Yesterday was the single most clarifying day in American politics since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. When I say “clarifying,” I don’t mean that it was the most consequential day in American politics. There have been plenty of days that were far more important, in terms of their raw impact on millions of people, over the last decade. But no day has been anywhere near as illuminating as this one. No one day has done a better job of showing us where the battle lines are — what’s important and what’s not — at a time when pretty much every prominent commentator and politician on the Right is picking a wildly different target. Less than two months ago, one of the leading Republicans in the Senate — a man I respect — was going after the vice president of the United States for not reading “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Hasn’t the vice president heard of the fictional character Atticus Finch, asked Senator Rand Paul, as the Pentagon sent drug traffickers to the bottom of the ocean. Meanwhile, some conservatives — including some well-known ones — have been obsessively attacking me — in some cases calling for my termination — because I have called for unity on the Right in the face of our common enemies on the Left. And of course, over the last few weeks, we have watched the right-wing commentariat rip each other to shreds over offensive group chats and podcast guests and so on. Well, congratulations, everyone. While conservatives have been arguing with one another, and administering purity tests to determine who’s a legitimate part of the movement and who’s not, a unified Democratic Party just elected an Attorney General who openly fantasizes about murdering us and watching our children die in our arms. Less than two months after Charlie Kirk was shot to death in front of the entire world, Democratic voters backed a candidate who wants more conservatives to die because of their political views. They also elected, as Governor, a demented CIA operative who grins when she’s asked about her support for this attorney general, live on the debate stage. Additionally, Democrats flipped something like 10 seats in the Virginia House, ensuring that these two sociopaths at the top of the ticket can do whatever they want, once they take office. Source: New York Times. In fact, every single county in the state of Virginia — even the ones that ultimately went Republican — shifted heavily towards Democrats last night. This was a total blowout in the state of Virginia — which is home to more than a million immigrants and hundreds of thousands of government employees concentrated in the north. These are people who are furious that their government salaries — which are really a form of welfare, in most cases — aren’t being paid out, due to the government shutdown. And now they’re making it clear that, if conservatives don’t want to pay them, then conservatives deserve to die. Meanwhile, as Republicans feuded relentlessly with one another, Democrats also elected a Muslim socialist from Uganda for the explicit purpose of destroying the nerve center of American capitalism. You’ll get your “government-run grocery stores” and your “free buses,” open to every vagrant and schizophrenic in the city, says Zohran Mamdani — but of course, you’ll have to pay for all of these “free perks” in the form of higher taxes. And you won’t find Mamdani riding on one of these buses or standing in any of these breadlines without armed guards because, despite what his platform might suggest, he’s not anywhere near as stupid as he looks. So what happens when New York runs out of people to tax? What happens when they all flee to Florida? What happens when “free buses” means that no one can ride the bus anymore? Mamdani, and everyone else in the Democratic Party, knows the answer to these questions. The answer is that New York will transform into Uganda. Ask any conservative, and they’ll describe that outcome as a failure. But Democrats don’t see it that way. And neither do their voters. Here’s why. Imagine, for a moment, that you live in Kenya. Like most Kenyans, you make about $2,000 per year. Yes, $2,000 per year. And then imagine that, like most Kenyans, you don’t even have access to clean drinking water, much less reliable social services. That’s what you’re used to. Then imagine that one member of your family manages to get to America. They fake an asylum claim and move into an apartment in New York, where they don’t pay any rent, thanks to some pro bono legal services offered by a nonprofit or a law firm. What do you think their top priority is going to be? Obviously, they’re going to look after their family back home. They’re going to collect welfare from the U.S. taxpayer and mail it to their relatives overseas. And they’re going to support whatever candidate will allow more of their family members to come to New York and partake in the city’s vast array of “free” services — paid for by Americans who actually have jobs. They don’t care — not even for a second — that New York City will ultimately collapse as a result. In their eyes, the worst-case scenario is that New York will eventually resemble a country like Kenya — a place they’re already familiar with. That’s their baseline. And they’re not afraid of it. Besides, they have no ties to New York or to the country. If that city falls apart, they can just move somewhere else. And when that new place is drained of all of its resources and collapses, then they can move on again. And so on and so on. Ask the people voting for these candidates, in any state that held elections last night, and they’ll admit all of this. Consider this interview that aired on CNN yesterday, featuring a woman from Kenya named Maryam Jaradi. This woman doesn’t say that she supports Abigail Spanberger in Virginia because she likes her position on corporate tax rates or anything like that. Instead, she says she supports Abigail Spanberger because she’s going to allow more foreigners from Kenya to enter the country.

She still refers to Kenya as her “home.” She’s voting based on the best interests of other Kenyans. That’s all there is to it. It really is as simple as that. Do you think she cares, in any way, about the fact that Abigail Spanberger embraced Jay Jones after he joked about murdering the children of conservative politicians? Do you think she’d flinch if Spanberger herself had literally murdered the child of a conservative politician? Of course not. The object of this woman and anyone like her is to advance their own national and ethnic interests. They don’t pause to consider your interests because they don’t care about you or your country. Together with liberal women, foreigners now constitute the bulk of the Democratic Party’s voting base. This is a voting bloc that’s extraordinarily potent and destructive. It’s immune to any kind of rational thought or negotiation. The foreigners are voting based on their own national and ethnic interests. And the liberal women are voting based on appeals to emotion and vibes. They’re basically getting their entire political philosophy from those yard signs that say, “No person is illegal.” One of those voters just spoke to Fox.

It isn’t even close. pic.twitter.com/7Z1vnNP2oj — Bad Hombre (@joma_gc) November 4, 2025 Credit: @joma_gc/X.com New York has been in a state of decline for many, many years. John Rocker’s infamous interview with Sports Illustrated, where he railed against all the “foreigners” making the city impossible to live in, was more than 25 years ago. But until recently, liberal women didn’t have enough votes to sway elections based on vapid, DNC-issued talking points. What’s changed is that, in 2025, yet another reliably Democratic demographic has moved into New York. As of the most recent estimates from the mayor’s office, one in five New Yorkers can’t even speak the English language. More than 60% of children in New York live in a household with at least one foreign-born family member. Roughly 40% of New Yorkers weren’t born in this country. Half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home. And these are conservative estimates. New York, as I’ve said before, is not an American city anymore. Nearly 50% of the population of Queens wasn’t even born in this country. Watch: Queens, New York has a population of 2.4M people: 48% are foreign-born, with over 160 languages spoken. Import the third world; elect the third world (AKA Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani). pic.twitter.com/jD3DXuRjTW — RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) November 5, 2025 Credit: @RedWave_Press/X.com These numbers are a drastic change in more ways than one. Yes, New York has had a significant immigrant population for many generations. But these immigrants are now coming from very different parts of the world, as this chart prepared by VDARE demonstrates. Source: U.S. Census Bureau As you can see, according to the U.S. Census, New York was 98% white in 1910. It was 90% white in 1950. It was 77% white in 1970. Then it dropped to 52% white in 1980 and 44% white by 1990. By 2020, it was down to 32% white. That’s a demographic transformation that’s inevitably going to result in massive cultural changes. And during his victory speech last night, Zohran Mamdani made those changes very explicit. Watch: “We will prove that there is no problem to large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” Those are terrifying words. pic.twitter.com/EY0qypP3Qy — Libby Emmons (@libbyemmons) November 5, 2025 Credit: @libbyemmons/X.com “We will prove that there is no problem too large for the government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” It’s hard to think of a more un-American and delusional statement than that. Imagine hearing a line like that, and applauding, without any hint of irony. Imagine taking a look at the employees of your local DMV and thinking to yourself, “You know what, this is great. I’d love to put these people in charge of every single aspect of my life, no matter how insignificant it may be. I’d love to have slack jawed government bureaucrats resolve every dispute I’ll ever have with my neighbors. I’d love to have government bureaucrats tell me when I’m allowed to go to the grocery store, since I really hate waiting for parking. Please, DMV lady, fix all of my problems. I put all my trust in you.” Has there ever been a serious person, in the history of this country, who has genuinely believed that the government could solve literally every problem, both big and small, as Mamdani just promised? The answer is no, of course. But Mamdani was not elected by serious people. In that speech, Mamdani is invoking the inverse of Ronald Reagan’s famous line, which is that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” At the time, that was a funny line because everyone immediately understood what Reagan was getting at. Now we have a third-world communist unironically playing the role of the guy from the government, uttering the nine most terrifying words. Except he’s now playing to a crowd that finds those words comforting, rather than terrifying. There’s a reason for that. Again, think about who his voters are. Liberal women and foreigners. And that’s pretty much it. Well, liberal women desperately desire to be taken care of. They want the government to come in and provide for them and hug them closely and whisper reassuring words. These women have rejected the natural female impulse, ingrained over millennia, to go out and find a man who can do those things for them. But the impulse remains. And now they look to satisfy it with the government. They are strong, independent women who don’t need no man — instead, they need a vast, faceless, incompetent bureaucracy to solve all of their problems. As for foreigners, many of them are from the third world — where the government does control everything, or tries to, and where no alternative is imaginable. Reagan’s joke isn’t a joke anymore. People from many third-world countries — who are now living in the United States — really believe it. And during his speech, Mamdani made sure to mention many of those third-world countries by name.

I’m sure it’s not an indication that Democrats are embracing ethnic nationalism for every racial group except white people, because they openly despise white people. That would just be ridiculous. But as dire as the races in New York and Virginia were, it needs to be said that the problem for the GOP is much bigger than those two states. Republican incumbents lost in both races in Georgia for Public Service Commissioner, for the first time in more than two decades. Omar Fateh, the Muslim socialist from Somalia, put up a strong showing in the Minneapolis mayor’s race — and still has a chance to win the race when it goes to ranked-choice voting. Of course, if he doesn’t win, then it will be the cartoonish, effeminate Jacob Frey — the mayor who wept in front of George Floyd’s golden casket, and who has facilitated the city’s rapid transformation into the Mogadishu of the West. So no matter what, the situation in Minneapolis is bleak. The Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania weren’t encouraging for Republicans either, with Democrats overwhelmingly retaining all of their seats. Put simply, last night was a rout for the conservative movement, and for Americans more broadly. There’s no other way to say it. We’re no longer talking about hypotheticals anymore. We’re not discussing polls. The enemies of this country have just seized a great deal of power. That doesn’t mean we’re doomed. It doesn’t mean all is lost. But it is a serious situation. Don’t listen to anyone telling you otherwise. An Islamic third-world communist taking over our largest and most important American city is a big deal. It truly is. As much as you might not want it to be. Many people will die as a result — make no mistake about it. Our economy will suffer in ways we can’t begin to comprehend. The rule of law will continue to erode, as even more violent criminals are unleashed on the public. All of that will happen. I’m not fear-mongering, I’m just giving you the facts. So what are we going to do about it? Well, I’ll tell you what we need to do: win. Winning isn’t the only thing that matters, but it is the first thing. If you don’t win, then all the other stuff that matters doesn’t matter. You have to win. Right now, a lot of people are drawing lines on the Right, putting some of us on that side, and some of us on this side. Well, here’s the line that we really need: conservatives who have actually shown an ability to win and move the needle culturally and politically, versus conservatives who have never contributed meaningfully to any victory at all. That’s the only line I care about right now. The folks in the latter group — the losers — are really loud at the moment, but it’s always been unclear why we should ever listen to anything they say. And after last night’s elections, it’s clear we should never listen to these people again. It’s nothing personal. It’s not a cheap shot or anything like that. I’m not disavowing them or canceling them, and I don’t want to expel them from the movement at all. They’re still conservatives. I even like some of them, some of our lovable losers. All I’m saying is that when it comes to figuring out how to win — which, again, is always the first and most urgent priority — they have nothing to offer. They don’t know how to win. They’ve never done it, and never will. They don’t have the stomach for it. They don’t have the heart or the mind for it. They’re too squeamish, too weak, too desirous of approval from polite society. And so last night a fractured Right was demolished by a unified Left — a coalition of Leftists (primarily college-educated women) and foreigners, all of whom are happy to dance on the graves of dead conservatives. These are people who heard Jay Jones wishing death on us and our children, and then flocked to the polls to make him the top law enforcement officer of the state. They didn’t subject Jones to any purity test. They didn’t denounce and disavow him out of principle. They ignored the complaints from conservatives — from people like me — and went out and won instead. They heard us demanding that they disavow Jay Jones, and they said, “What, and lose on purpose? Throw the race? Uh, no.” And they laughed at us and went out and won. That’s what happened. So I will repeat the call that made so many people angry at me. You can be angry all you want. I don’t care. The right must unite against the people who want us dead. We must. Our lives are at stake. Our children’s futures are at stake. Our nation itself is at stake. This is not the time for infighting and ankle biting. I’m not saying that there will never be a time, necessarily. I’m saying that the time is not now. The time was not these last few weeks, in the run-up to the election. If you can’t see that now, then I don’t know what else to say. We have just been handed the biggest wake-up call in the recent history of the conservative movement. We should pay attention. We should accelerate mass deportations. We should suspend all migration from the third world, along with all federal assistance to New York and Virginia. And as I outlined earlier this week, we should kick every single foreign national off federal financial assistance, effective immediately. That’s what conservatives need to accomplish, if we want to continue existing as a viable political movement. We don’t have to agree with each other. We don’t even have to like each other. But we do have to recognize that our greatest threat — the greatest threat to civilization itself — just demolished our candidates last night. The people putting foreign communists in charge of our cities. The people lining up to vote for candidates who openly want to murder Republicans. That is the greatest threat, by far. And it’s not close. They want to destroy us. And if we don’t return the favor, and soon, then none of our disagreements will matter. The foreigners who just voted for Zohran Mamdani, Abigail Spanberger, and Omar Fateh don’t care about the internal squabbling on the Right. And neither should we, if we want to have any success in the midterms one year from now. Staying on message, staying focused, staying disciplined, being unified — this, above all, is what wins elections. And if there’s any good news from last night, it’s that everyone on the Right — everyone who’s paying even the slightest bit of attention — must now realize that.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Tuesday arrested an illegal alien from Africa with over three dozen previous arrests and eight felony convictions, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire.  As Senate Democrats voted for a 14th time to block the reopening of the government, ICE agents arrested Marcelin Charles Gbey Gouley, an illegal alien from the Ivory Coast. Gouley has been arrested 39 times and has been convicted of eight felonies, according to DHS.  The convictions have been on cocaine trafficking, possession of controlled substances, drug manufacturing and distribution, and drug possession in Florida, Maryland, and Virginia.  Gbey Gouley/ DHS. “ICE is on a mission to remove criminal illegal aliens from terrorizing American communities and fulfilling President Trump’s promise to make America safe again,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. DHS also highlighted another “worst of the worst” batch of illegal aliens ICE arrested on Tuesday, including:  Juan Pablo Martinez-Herrera, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years with force in Los Angeles, California Jose Luis Tomalo-Viracucha, an illegal alien from Ecuador, convicted of attempted assault and aggravated sexual abuse in Monticello, New York Adrian Perez-Vallejo, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of aggravated kidnapping in Smith County, Texas Javier Sanchez, an illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of carjacking and taking a vehicle without owner consent in Los Angeles, California “Yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, kidnappers, and drug traffickers from American neighborhoods,” said McLaughlin. “Our law enforcement officers will let nothing stop them from removing the worst of the worst, including the Democrats’ government shutdown or even an 8,000% increase in death threats against them.” The Trump administration says that it is on pace to deport around 600,000 illegal aliens by the end of his first year in office. DHS says that an additional 1.6 million have voluntarily self-deported since Trump took office.  Trump said on Sunday that the ICE raids haven’t gone far enough because of leftist judges. “I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama,” Trump said during an interview on “60 Minutes.” “You have to get the people out. You know, you have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are people that were thrown out of their countries because they were, you know, criminals.”

Tom Brady didn’t just defeat teams in pursuit of his seven Super Bowls; he’s apparently defeated death. Let me explain. Tom Brady cloned his dead dog Lua, who died in 2023, and with the help of Colossal Biosciences, the legendary quarterback has a new member of the pack, Junie, who obviously looks just like Luna. “A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed,” Brady said in the statement shared with The Daily Wire by Colossal. “In a few short months, Colossal gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog.” Wait what? Yes, you can hop into a self-driving car to pick up your cloned dog from daycare in the year 2025. Colossal specializes in de-extinction. The company recently acquired, Viagen, which is known for cloning Paris Hilton’s and Barbara Streisand’s pets. “I am excited how Colossal and Viagen’s tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species,” Brady said. Junie, the clone, has the same genetic makeup of Lua. Colossal spokeswoman Emily Lowe told The Daily Wire the process cannot clone personality. Is this messing with the circle of life or simply carrying on a legacy? It depends on who you ask. Some people are calling this weird and messing with nature. And there’s several people who think it’s cool. Others simply want a DNA test on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye because Maye is showing glimpses of Brady-like play for the New England Patriots right now. For those who say they want to be like Brady, they better save up because the groundbreaking process is pricey. Viagen’s website shows that it costs $1,600 to preserve a pet’s genetics, and $50,000 to use those genetics to clone a dog or cat. Wherever you land on cloning pets, Colossal and Viagen believe in their mission. “This strategic move unites Colossal’s pioneering de-extinction and species preservation platform with Viagen’s industry-leading cloning and cryopreservation technologies.” So far, Viagen has cloned 15 species. Colossal brought dire wolves back from extinction through their technology. Yes, the same white wolves in Game of Thrones are back on planet earth, well three of them at least. Remus, Romulus, and Khaleesi are the three dire wolves Colossal brought back to life after 10,000 years of extinction. Tom Brady has trademarked his initials. It may be time to trademark his DNA because this cloning technology is proving anything can come out of retirement.

By an overwhelming margin, New Yorkers handed over the financial center of planet Earth to a Marxist pro-jihadist named Zohran Mamdani, who has never held a real job. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. We’ll see how it works out for them. Mamdani is not hiding the ball. He intends to implement major changes in America’s financial center, the financial center of planet Earth. He intends to make a new system that is going to destroy capitalism.  Will he be able to accomplish that? There are some checks on him.  Many of the promises he has made are like a third-grader running for school president who promises: “Free ice cream for everybody and no homework” was basically his campaign. If he said “affordability” over and over and over and then threw out a bunch of random things that he would never be able to do, he would be elected mayor. It worked. We now live in a political era characterized — on both sides — by people accurately diagnosing problems and then not proposing any real solutions while saying, “If you give me ultimate power, I will solve it for you.” It never works. Democrats are resistant to the idea that Mamdani is the future of the party. Hakeem Jeffries suggested that he was not the face of the party. But I’m old enough to remember when Democrats said AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib were not the face of the party. And now they are. It will be interesting to see how the Democratic Party treats him. Do they treat him as an outsider? Do they say that he’s “sort of quirky,” the way they treated Bill de Blasio, or do they embrace him and try to draft off of the energy that he obviously captured in the middle of this campaign? One of the lies that is constantly told about socialist candidates like Mamdani is that they are the people who get blue-collar voters, that they excite blue-collar voters. But America and Europe are different; historically speaking, European blue-collar workers tend toward socialism, but that does not happen in America. In America, blue-collar workers have always been fond of capitalism because it is what provides their jobs. Even in the early union days of the United States, the unions were quite actively anti-communist in the United States in a way that they simply were not in Europe. That remains true today. What drove Mamdani to victory were immigrants, extreme leftists, and college-educated young women. Some of the latter is because Mamdani, with the smarmy grin and the inability to bench-press 135 pounds, seems particularly non-threatening, as opposed to Andrew Cuomo, who was ousted from office over his inability to keep his hands off the asses of women. If this is the future of the Democratic Party, go for it, guys. It’s playing with fire. New York City is playing with fire. Mamdani’s policy proposals are trash. If he implements any of them, the city is in serious trouble. There are systemic checks and balances that prevent Mamdani from single-handedly destroying the city. If he wants to raise taxes, he has to go to the state level. And the state legislature is very unlikely to want to increase taxes again. He says that he wants to make all the buses free, and he’s going to pay for it. How’s he going to do any of this stuff? He won’t be able to get any of that stuff done, and then he will rail against the system. Mamdani will make the business climate disastrous. Crime will go up. His proposals are foolish in the extreme. Typically when you win, you tend to quote the founding ideals of the country. Mamdani did not. His entire victory speech was about how America historically is trash and how all of the fundamental principles of America are trash, and how he’s here to change things on a radical, fundamental level. He quoted Eugene Debs, a socialist candidate from the 1910s and Nehru, the socialist leader of the non-aligned India in the post-partition era. There was no Washington; there was no Jefferson; there was no Lincoln. He said there’s a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city we can “afford.” All of these plans are trash. He says that there’s a “mandate for change.” There’s always a mandate for change. That’s what elections are. I’m very much looking forward to never having to pay for a hotel again in New York. I’m just gonna ride the buses around. I’ll just get on and ride them for free. Why the hell not? As long as I don’t get stabbed in the face, which may very well happen in a city of New York governed by Zohran Mamdani, who thinks that the police are inhibitors of human freedom. H.L. Mencken, the famous columnist from the early 20th century, once said that democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. I hope you enjoy what you wrought, New Yorkers. And I’m glad that I have some Florida real estate that is available at a fetching price.
