Yes, I know this happened a couple days ago, but I haven’t had a chance to cover it yet and….let’s just say I have some thoughts. Socialist candidate for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been rocketing up in the polls. But what isn’t rocketing up is the bar holding 135 lbs on his benchpress. No, Mamdani sat down to pound out some reps on the bench press with the standard 135 lb setup, which would be 45+45+45….the bar plus two 45 lb plates. He walked in with so much hype that you thought he might instantly rip off a set of 8 or 10, but no. It turns out, Mamdani was unable to put up even ONE. Cue LeBron when he ditched Cleveland for Miami:  “Not 4, not 5, not 8” Turns out not even one. His “spotter” turned out to be more of a “lifter” and kept his hands on the bar at all times, making it clear that he was likely deadlifting more than Mamdani was bench pressing. Watch here: Zohran Mamdani can’t bench press 135 lbs… So like a good socialist, someone else basically does all the work for him and he celebrates like he did it himself.

Carl Lewis signs the National Anthem — “UH OH!” pic.twitter.com/YIwN0x25ww — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) August 28, 2025 “RED GLARE!” “UH OH!” “I’ll make up for it now!” Oh no you won’t Carl, and perhaps neither will Mamdani. Could this be his Howard Dean moment? The event that so badly taints his reputation that he actually loses the election? It’s possible, and in fact I would say the only reason it WON’T doom his campaign is because all of his supporters are actually weaker soy-boys than he is and they probably love that this puss can’t put up even 135 once.  That’s probably like some kind of perverse benefit to these losers. But I’m not the only person who is wondering if his campaign may be doomed. The NY Post just ran this headline: ‘Scrawny’ Zohran Mamdani has a fatal weakness— that could lose him the election Here is more from that article asking the same question I am asking here: A crowd gathered around mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Saturday as he lay on his back struggling to bench-press 135 pounds at the annual Men’s Day in Brooklyn. He couldn’t do it. Mayor Eric Adams derided him as “Mamscrawny” — but Mamdani’s fans didn’t care. Weightlifting isn’t a requirement to serve as mayor. Fighting crime, though, is. That is Mamdani’s vulnerability, and the reason this race is far from over. Polls show Mamdani leading the contest comfortably, with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in second place, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa next, and Adams trailing behind. And while every pollster and analyst wonders about the outcome if one of those candidates should choose to drop out, let’s be real — it’s not going to happen. A politician is a legend in his own mind. Each of them is convinced this is his race to win. But even in that crowded field, a Mamdani victory is not inevitable, according to the American Pulse Research poll released last week. When voters are reminded of Mamdani’s prior support for defunding the police and his past anti-NYPD statements, the survey found, their support for him wavers. There’s been almost no discussion of who will actually govern in a Mamdani administration — who would be his deputy mayors, oversee the budget, run the agencies. The one critical exception is the NYPD: Even Mamdani allies like Kathryn Wylde of the New York City Partnership and state Attorney General Letitia James have urged him to keep Jessica Tisch as the city’s police commissioner. That’s either fantasy thinking or a deliberate effort to mislead the public about Mamdani’s stances on crime: Tisch and Mamdani are like oil and water. Start with quality-of-life crimes, like shoplifting, public urination and assault without a weapon. In a candidate’s questionnaire this spring published by The City, Mamdani explained he wants fewer such offenders incarcerated before trial — and fewer prosecutions of those crimes, period. He blamed these acts on “the failures of our social safety net,” and sees no role for police enforcement. Tisch, on the other hand, is outraged that too few quality-of-life crimes ever get prosecuted. “Imagine how disheartening it is for our cops to be out there arresting the same people for the same crimes in the same neighborhood day after day,” she’s said. “And how scary it is for New Yorkers to see the same person who victimized them one day walking the streets the next.” Now in case you don’t remember it, let’s end with the Howard Dean moment. When you’re running for President, you want to get attention. Trending online is great! Unless….it’s for a bad reason. Unless you’re having your Howard Dean moment. Do you remember when that happened? If you don’t remember or never saw it, you’re in for a treat. This is not even a human sound, I have no idea how he did this. When it’s called “THE Scream” you know that’s very bad for you. Watch here: Will “Mamscrawny” suffer the same fate? Also, what the hell is a Zohran Mamdani anyway? I always thought that was this machine from “Big”? Anyone else remember that thing? Even kind of looks exactly like him! Wasn’t that thing called the Zohran Mamdani?
