New York City has gone far left and elected a self-proclaimed Socialist as Mayor. Zohran Mamdani has taken the reins of The Big Apple and is quickly watching it rot away. In five short months, Mamdani has done enough damage to the city that it will take decades to correct, if ever. We have witnessed … Read more
Bernie Sanders was in New York this week to support Mayor Mamdani’s effort to raise taxes on the wealthy to close the budget gap caused by bad Democratic management of the world’s greatest city. Bernie attacked the rich who are leaving New York to avoid the high cost of residence in NYC as enemies of … Read more
Anyone running from the left, no matter how far they have to go to pretend to be in the middle, should be roundly mocked. Forced to answer for the likes of Spangerger in Virginia and Mamdani in New York. They claim to be like you. To care for your interests. To defend you from [insert … Read more
In Episode 96 of The Generation Report (one we missed, with apologies – the editor), at long last, my conversation catching up with someone I consider a friend of the program: Sasha Stone of Awards Daily and Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning.

Socialists and Communists from coast to coast were out of their minds at the thought of the greatest city on earth under Communist control. It had them salivating, but it all came crashing down like a January thaw. From a seedy start in a deserted underground subway station at the stroke of midnight on New … Read more
I am not sure whether the oath taken at the stroke of midnight, whether it was done underground, or whether a Quran was used instead of a traditional Bible, is the most symbolic of the devastating era dawning on New York City. New York City woke on Friday under the Socialist control of Zohar Mamdani, … Read more
Today on the Morning Update, it is expected that people will eat with utensils, some sort of racist, white colonialistic cultural pressure campaign. Some libs (prolly white women) think so, let’s take a look.

The World, at least the USA and mainstream media, was aflutter last week when the Capitalist met the Communist (a self-described Democrat socialist). The expected fireworks never developed, and, instead, mutual respect was seen on TV, which stunned all the pseudo-intellectual commentators that plague our media. I could name the “NAMES” but that would be … Read more
Fellow Americans, the red, white, and blue nightmare we’ve warned about for years has crashed through the gates of our greatest city like a Trojan horse packed with Sharia decrees. Last night, as the final votes trickled in from the concrete jungles of New York, the unthinkable became reality: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old radical democratic … Read more
Even after Jihadis took down the World Trade Center, you decide if they did it because the CIA/FBI/NSA/ETC. Asked them to or let them, New York City continues to be the world capital of capitalism. As big a deal as it was, it didn’t change anything. Smoothed for inflation, there is no marked difference in … Read more
I contend that the Kardashians are popular, famous, and wealthy because they are a non-stop slow-motion train wreck. Like the rubberneckers that bring traffic on the non-accident side of the highway to a standstill, people have this objective obsession with other people’s misery. It is what makes reality television a thing that won’t go away. … Read more
This week on the Elsa Kurt Show, we unpack week six of the shutdown, who is blocking a deal, and how it’s hitting families, flyers, and the force. Then we break down New York City’s election turn, media framing of Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, cartel crackdowns, stopping genocide in Africa, Cheney’s legacy, and a major … Read more
The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York City, that once-unconquerable fortress of American grit and ingenuity. The ink on those cursed ballots is barely dry, and already the stench of betrayal hangs heavy over the skyline of New York … Read more
Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a … Read more
Today, on the morning update, I pick at the response to Mamdani’s victory speech (and we celebrate Nancy Pelosi’s retirement).

New York’s likely election of Zohran Mamdani to the mayor’s office offers a lesson —and not just to New Yorkers. The rise of Marxist, totalitarian socialists into positions of power has a similar effect across the world and throughout time. It is the template of modern civilization. Those who can leave do, taking their intellectual … Read more
With an important debate just around the corner, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani decided that it was time to breach the lions’ den and appear on FOX News. It was a clever move. His interview by Martha MacCallum left most viewers with the impression that Mamdani is a gregarious, fairly reasonable candidate – not … Read more
Trump is fulfilling a promise to be tough on crime at the same time Democrats are swooning over Zohran Mamdani.

The election day for the Mayor of New York City is less than four months away, yet the newly elected Democratic candidate has left for a one-month hiatus in Uganda.
