Mamdani Does the ONE Thing He Promised Not To - Now New Yorkers are Horrified
NEW YORK, NY — Those schooled in the ways of the free market know that socialism has never produced a functional, wealthy society. Now, the residents of New York City are learning that painful lesson firsthand. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who campaigned on the lofty promise of making the city more "affordable" on the backs of the wealthy, just dropped a bombshell on the middle class.
Faced with a massive $127 billion budget—larger than the entire state of Florida's—Hizzoner is officially coming after the wallets of ordinary New Yorkers to fund his progressive agenda.
THE SOCIALIST BAIT-AND-SWITCH
Mamdani’s overarching campaign promise was simple: "Free" services, "social justice," and "community empowerment," all paid for by the ultra-rich. But as is always the case with communist and socialist rhetoric, someone actually has to foot the bill.
With the wealthy fleeing and state lawmakers balking at his extreme wealth tax demands, Mamdani has announced his "last resort" to balance the books:
A devastating 9.5% increase in property taxes.
-
Raiding nearly $1 billion from the city's Rainy Day Fund.
Siphoning over $200 million from the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Fund.
"The mayor is complaining that the budget isn’t fully funded, so he has to raid pension funds and raise taxes," critics point out. "His true aim is income redistribution."
PUNISHING THE WORKING CLASS
While the Manhattan elite might not immediately notice the squeeze, this tax hike will devastate the working and middle classes. Over 30% of NYC residents actually own their homes, many of which have been passed down through generations in the outer boroughs.
If Mamdani's 9.5% hike goes through, working-class homeowners will be the ones paying for his socialist utopia.
"Mamdani’s portrayal as a 'man of the people' is, as is often the case with communists, a complete facade," the report notes. "Ultimately, it’s the middle and working classes who pay the price."
THE WEALTHY VOTE WITH THEIR FEET
During a recent panel on CNN, Abby Phillip attempted to cherry-pick data suggesting New York is gaining "semi-wealthy" residents. However, panelist Ana Navarro stated the undeniable truth: The super-rich—those with $25 to $100 million in assets—are moving out of the city.
This is the exact group Mamdani was relying on to fund his massive $127 billion agenda.
As capital is driven out, ordinary New Yorkers are about to see just how poorly things are managed under far-left leadership. Democrats may appeal to the lower classes looking for handouts, but the people who actually create wealth through hard work and investment understand the realities—and they are voting with their feet.
For the New Yorkers left behind, the bill has officially come due.
'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
