NYC Neighborhood Where 70% of People Voted for Zohran Mamdani Now Suing His Administration for Locating a Homeless Shelter There

 

A true liberal socialist, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided to eliminate racial wealth disparity by levying taxes by race.

The people of the East Village neighborhood in New York City are getting exactly what they voted for and they are not happy about it.

In fact, the people of this neighborhood, who voted for Mamdani by a margin of 70 percent, are now suing his administration because they don’t like his plan to locate a new homeless shelter there.

Have they not heard about the warmth of collectivism? Isn’t this precisely what they voted for?

From the New York Post:

East Villagers sue Mamdani to stop relocation of notorious Bellevue men’s homeless shelter into their neighborhood

Enraged East Villagers sued Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a last-gasp effort to stop the relocation of hundreds of homeless men to a new shelter in their neighborhood.

The lawsuit filed Monday seeks an emergency restraining order that would prevent the “rushed” May 1 opening of the intake shelter along Third Street.

The site was selected by City Hall as one of two intake shelters in Manhattan that would effectively replace the notorious Bellevue homeless shelter — a haven for often-dangerous vagrants that Mamdani plans to close by the end of the month.

But Mamdani and city officials not only underhandedly declared an “emergency” to close the Midtown shelter, their decision to plunk its clientele into the East Village was dangerously slapdash, the lawsuit contends.

“This case is not about the City’s decision to close the Bellevue Intake Shelter,” the Manhattan Supreme Court filing states.

“It challenges only the City’s hastily made and legally invalid decision to [locate] a new citywide homeless adult male intake center at 8 East 3rd Street without following any of the legal requirements that must precede such a significant and consequential decision.”

Oh the irony.

It is very difficult to feel any sympathy in this situation.

What did these people think was going to happen when they voted for this man?

New York Times Portrays Fired USAID Staff as Victims — Reaction Is Not What They Expected

In July 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that USAID would no longer send foreign assistance across the globe.

Rubio noted that USAID had, for decades, failed to ensure the programs it funded actually supported America’s interests.

“Beyond creating a globe-spanning NGO industrial complex at taxpayer expense, USAID has little to show since the end of the Cold War. Development objectives have rarely been met, instability has often worsened, and anti-American sentiment has only grown,” Rubio wrote in a blog post, according to Fox News.

“This era of government-sanctioned inefficiency has officially come to an end. Under the Trump Administration, we will finally have a foreign funding mission in America that prioritizes our national interests. As of July 1st, USAID will officially cease to implement foreign assistance. Foreign assistance programs that align with administration policies—and which advance American interests—will be administered by the State Department, where they will be delivered with more accountability, strategy, and efficiency,” Rubio said.

During the summer of 2025, the DOGE team announced they had eliminated another $14.3 billion in bogus contracts, including international contracts tied to USAID.

Following the funding cuts, the agency went from roughly 10,000–16,000 direct employees (plus hundreds of thousands of contractors and local staff overseas) to under 300 remaining staff. Over 90–97% of USAID’s workforce was eliminated.

Elisabeth Bumiller and Eileen Sullivan wrote A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss for The New York Times, bemoaning the struggles of the laid-off workers, something thousands of Americans face each day without fawning coverage from the outlet.

The authors share the example of a USAID-funded senior VP,making $272,000, or roughly five times more than the median income of the average American worker.

Per NYT:

Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior vice president at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store near her home in Falls Church, Va.

The example, however, had the opposite effect of garnering sympathy.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) notes, “NYT frames this as if USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying, taxpayer-funded jobs.”

“In reality, this tells a darker story—we spent half-a-century debt-financing a managerial class of Leftists whose only qualifications were ideological.”

An X user pointed out the hypocrisy of the NYT constantly screaming about “fighting privilege” in contrast to how the story is framed.

“$272k for a job at a non profit, paid for by the US taxpayer and she cannot find adequate employment elsewhere? What does that say about her?”

“It screams, ‘this woman was WAYYY overpaid for the skill set she had!’ Which is yet another perfect example for why USAID was shut down. I’m sorry, why are we supposed to feel bad for her? Average salary in the US is $63,000….

“I mean pick a lane, one minute the NYT is screaming about fighting privilege and then the next minute they are posting this, which is the very definition of privilege. This article is asinine.”

Another user asked, “So, she was wildly overpaid by my tax dollars, now she is competing in the real world with a limited skillset, and any of us care why?”

One user pointed out the obvious point the NYT article ignored, “Pro Tip: If your NGO has to close its doors when the government stops funneling taxpayer dollars to you, then you were NOT a ‘Non-governmental organization.'”

Are the Radical Islamist Terrorists Running Iran Paranoid of a Coup Removing Them from Power?

 

The end is near for the Islamist terrorist regime running Iran, and it’s likely the regime is very scared that a coup is being planned against it. 

This makes sense.  The regime terrorizing the Iranian nation is in a very weak position.

President Trump has seized the regime’s major source of income, the oil flowing through Kharg Island.  Estimates suggest the regime can only last a month before it’s essentially bankrupt. 

In addition to concerns about being broke in a few weeks, the regime is very susceptible to a coup.

One pundit on social media says that based on the regime’s communications, the regime is fearful of a coup.

Update from inside IRGC: 

I’ve been scrolling through the IRGC regime channels and their social media lately, the same ones who brag about hunting down protesters under Khamenei’s “jihad” orders.

Slowly, it’s sinking in for them that they got played hard. They’re getting extremely paranoid and keep accusing each other of being coup plotters, spies, or traitors.

The funniest comment I read, and something I hadn’t even thought of myself, was this one comment: “those forces they brought in from Iraq and Afghanistan weren’t for the protesters… they were for us. Otherwise, why would Israel not hit them during the war when they were right in the line of fire?”

It was a sharp, spot-on observation, and I think it’s true. Over the past decade, the regime brought in millions of Afghans to act as a people’s army defending them. The IRGC trained Afghan Shia fighters, and sent them to Syria to fight for Assad.

Then after Assad fell, they brought many of them back inside Iran to help suppress the protests.

Right after the Twelve-Day War last summer, they suddenly started deporting them en masse, at least 1.5 million kicked out quickly and forcibly, accused of spying for Israel. Clearly, they got scared because they know a mercenary army isn’t truly loyal to them. 

Now? Since the war started, a fresh wave of Afghan Shia militias has been coming in anyway, and didn’t get hit by Israel or US. The Basijis are finally doing the math. Too bad.

Get ready for a coup. One led by defectors inside the regime, coordinated with Israel or the US, to purge the hardliners and the Basijis.

It’s coming.

Unless something drastically changes, the regime running Iran and terrorizing its people will soon be gone. 

BREAKING: DOJ Drops Criminal Investigation into Fed Chair Powell

 The Justice Department on Friday dropped its criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

This clears the way for Trump’s Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh to be confirmed.

Senator Thom Tillis vowed to block Trump’s Fed Chair confirmation until the Justice Department dropped its investigation into Powell.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro made the announcement on Friday morning:

This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers.

The IG has the authority to hold the Federal Reserve accountable to American taxpayers. I expect a comprehensive report in short order and am confident the outcome will assist in resolving, once and for all, the questions that led this office to issue subpoenas.

Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry. Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so.

Federal investigators in January opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed’s DC headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion.

“Powell has asked the central bank’s inspector general to conduct an additional review of the ongoing renovation, CNN previously reported. Last month, some Senate lawmakers grilled Powell over what they depicted as lavish upgrades to its DC headquarters at Powell’s semiannual monetary policy hearing,’ CNN previously reported.

“The Fed’s renovation project was approved by its board in 2017 and originally cost $1.9 billion in 2019. Construction began in 2021, but the cost swelled to $2.5 billion because of “unforeseen conditions” requiring more spending to rectify, such as “more asbestos than anticipated, toxic contamination in soil, and a higher-than-expected water table,” according to the Fed’s website,” CNN reported.

Last July, Jerome Powell was criminally referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.

Last month, Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee, quashed the Justice Department’s subpoenas issued to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Boasberg previously blasted Trump and US Attorney Pirro and said the subpoenas were improperly issued after the president pressured Powell to lower interest rates.
