Sliwa ran on a platform opposing the defund the police movement, supporting a property tax overhaul so that working-class residents would not pay higher property taxes than wealthy citizens, keeping in place the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test while increasing opportunities for vocational training in charter schools, and focusing on fiscal restraint. He also opposed the killing of unwanted animals and supported making all animal shelters no-kill shelters, pointing to his own home life with 16 cats.

Is he French? What's with the beret?

This bloke has popped up on all my Youtube feeds all of a sudden. I don't know much about him, but from some of the videos i have since seen, show he is quite an intelligent fella.

Good luck to him and to New York as well. This is a fantastic achievement for him personally, given the degree of open naked racism in USA politics, especially given against Muslims!!!

If that doesn't work they will double down on anything he has ever said about Palestine or Iraq, they will try to dig up anything

One time, Mamdani rode on the subway and sat next to a guy whose 3rd cousin’s best friend’s uncle once participated in a protest where people were screaming ‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free’!

The horror!
The anti-semitism!
The Shariah!

Guardian Angels​

In May 1977, Sliwa created the "Magnificent 13", a civilian group dedicated to combating violence and crime on the New York City Subway. At the time, the city was experiencing a crime wave.

The Magnificent 13 grew and was renamed the Guardian Angels in 1979. The group's actions drew strong reactions, both positive and negative.



Most of the Guardian Angels members were either Black or Hispanic. Unarmed, the group required members to train in karate and learn the legal requirements for citizens' arrest for all members before they were to be deployed. Sliwa's red beret is a component of the Guardian Angels' uniform.



In 1981, then-Mayor Ed Koch, a critic of Sliwa and the organization, launched an investigation into the Guardian Angels, which, according to The Washington Post, proved "so positive that the Guardian Angels will soon be awarded some sort of official status." Then-Lieutenant Governor Mario Cuomo was a rare early advocate of the organization, being quoted saying "[t]hey are a better expression of morality than our city deserves".

Mamdani's proposals include rent freezes, free buses, and city-run grocery stores which would be funded by $10 billion in new taxes on corporations and the wealthy.


Which may not bode well for the city's corporate tax revenues. As The Free Press noted last week, New York business owners plan to flee both the city and the state if Mamdani wins...

"We may consider closing our supermarkets and selling the business," said 76-year-old billionaire John Catsimatidis of Gristedes Supermarkets, adding "We have other businesses. Thank God, we have other businesses."

He also suggested that his real estate conglomerate - Red Apple Group, may move to New Jersey too.

Wait until all the businesses leave New York

Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and self-described democratic socialist, was poised on Tuesday to win New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary in a surprising upset over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran is the son of Mahmood Mamdani, an Indian-Ugandan colonialism and postcolonial studies professor at Columbia University of Gujarati Muslim descent and his mother is Mira Nair, an Indian-American filmmaker of Punjabi descent. His father gave him the middle name Kwame after Kwame Nkrumah, a revolutionary and the first prime minister of Ghana.

Please do not make this election a Muslim issue, that's what the conservatards want.

The one million estimated Muslim population in NYC will be smart to back Curtis Sliwa.

If you are a good soul, everyone will love you. Look at Sadiq Khan, loved by all communities in London.

And also hated by all ULEZ users equally.
