Socialism: the festering heap that won't go away

Socialism is the festering heap of broken promises and terrible policies that simply won't disappear. Just think of Zohran Mamdani's lengthy list of broken promises. The NY Post writes "Many of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s lofty campaign promises have already bitten the dust 100 days in, as he makes a U-turn or scales them back almost beyond recognition. His improbable path from Democratic socialist also-ran to victory in 2025’s election came in no small part from the sweeping, voter-pleasing pledges."

Mamdani lied his way to Gracie Mansion. It wasn't a matter of him fudging a little bit on 'promises from the periphery', either. The governmemt-run grocery stores were and are a fiction. Fast, free trains were mythical at best. Free day-care didn't stand a shot at becoming reality. The truth is that Mayor Mamdani is breathing lie factory.

Some of Mamdani's promises were unaffordable from the start. The promise that he'd pay for these 'benefits' by taxing the rich wasn't honest with the voters. He didn't care. He wanted to start a movement.

The fact that New Yorkers bought Mamdani's BS in large numbers is disturbing. They're usually brighter than that. Watch this press availability:

There's no way a shrinking city can afford the things that Mamdani is promising. That's the fast-track to overpromise and underdeliver.

The biggest point is that socialists think that the government is the best way to deliver these services. That's been BS for decades, if not longer. With socialism, there's no incentive to be innovative or productive. Further, with socialism, competition is crushed, which is another way to crush best practices.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
