Muslim "democrat socialist" Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect in New York City, took not even hours to reveal his "venom," according to an analysis of Tuesday's election of the radical candidate.
And social media was hot with claims that he's now going to try to put New Yorkers under the governance of Islamic Shariah law.
"As even Democratic partisans, such as Van Jones, noted, the calm, embracing warmth of the Mamdani who courted votes with sweet words vanished. Here, instead, was anger and a chilling combination of lies and revealing truths," explained the analysis by Hugo Gurdon in the Washington Examiner when Mamdani spoke shortly after the election.
"Mamdani gloated, 'New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.' Actually, 60% of the city's population is not immigrants, but he wanted to rub their faces in the takeover inflicted on them by an outsider. To them, his message was, 'Suck it up, suckers, we're in charge now,'" the analysis explained.
He noted, "Politicians tend to be somewhat triumphalist in moments of triumph. So Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani could have been forgiven for a little exaltation as he spoke to his electrified supporters after winning the New York City mayoral election."
However, the analysis pointed out how Mamdani actually was "downright sinister" in victory, "glorying not just in his achievement but in having laid low his vanquished enemies and stuck it to others besides. He took off his smiling campaign mask and revealed his venomous self."
The report continued, "He pretended that his win would give power to hardscrabble workers in menial jobs, such as those with 'fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery bike handlebars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns; these are not the hands that have been allowed to hold power … Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it.' But his 'we' is a falsehood. Mamdani is not one of them. He's a rich kid masquerading as a man of the people. It was not those at the bottom of the social scale who voted for him; it was college graduates."
And the young.
"Men under 30 years old went for Mamdani 64%-23%, and women in that age group, who are even more fancifully left-wing, voted for the hip socialist 81%-11%," the report said.
"They think the democratic socialism Mamdani offers is akin to the cradle-to-grave care they imagine is administered by the gentle socialist governments of Western Europe — so cool, so virtuous, so pleasingly un-American. But the tenor of the socialism proffered by 'Zohran the Magnificent' is the overweening, arrogant, and intrusive socialism that collapsed in Eastern Europe."
And, Gurdon wrote, Mamdani is not limiting his vision to a city.
Instead, his agenda "is being readied for all of America" and is one in which "we will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about."
That means, the analysis found, "wall-to-wall government."
The concerns also came from social media, where details about Mamdani were abundant:

U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, filed articles of impeachment Tuesday against "radical activist" Judge James Boasberg for his role in the "Arctic Frost" probe in which Joe Biden's Justice Department sought phone records to spy on Republicans in Congress.
"Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration," Gill said on X.
"As part of the Arctic Frost Investigation, Judge Boasberg signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled. Not only was this action egregiously improper; it was a gross violation of the separation of powers.
"Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached."
"This appears to be the tip of the iceberg," he added. "More information is coming out daily about the extent of Judge Boasberg's involvement in Arctic Frost."
The congressman's resolution accuses Boasberg of one count of abuse of power.
Gill told Fox News Digital that "Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction."
"Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors."
"Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "This was clearly a fishing expedition."
Among those targeted by the Biden Justice Department was U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who called it a "witch hunt" and Biden's own "Watergate" scandal.
"They launched Arctic Frost, this witch hunt, they launched it three days after Donald Trump launched his re-election campaign to be re-elected to the presidency. This was all about politics," Cruz said.
"And Arctic Frost is, I think, the Biden Department of Justice's Watergate. It is pure weaponization going after their political opponents and I think the Biden DOJ needs to be held to account."

A Democrat state lawmaker in North Carolina has quit after being jailed for allegedly committing child sex crimes.
A report from Libs of TikTok said it is state Rep. Cecil Brockman, a Democrat, who is out.
His own letter to the legislature conceded he's unable to do the work needed while the charges are pending.
Commentary online blasted him for being a "Black Lives Matter Marxist and anti-police Democrat NC Representative."
A report from LifeZette said Brockman has been accused of crimes involving a 15-year-old.
Officials in the state had said he needed to go away.
The report said, "Court records show that Brockman was arrested on October 8 and charged with two counts of statutory sexual offense with a child and one count of taking indecent liberties with a minor."
Brockman's letter said he needed to focus on his defense.
"According to police and court filings, Brockman met the teenager in May through an online app. Guilford County District Attorney Avery Crump told the court that Brockman later tried to locate the teen by using a tracking app and even called 911 in an attempt to reach the individual," the report explained.
He's been in custody in the Guilford County Jail on a million dollar bond.
He was being considered for expulsion from the legislature at the time he quit.

With the federal government shutdown extending into 32 days, President Donald Trump warned Republicans they will "rue the day" they did not terminate the Senate filibuster that is allowing Democrats to keep the shutdown going.
"Remember, Republicans, regardless of the Schumer Shutdown, the Democrats will terminate the Filibuster the first chance they get," Trump said Saturday evening on Truth Social.
"They will Pack the Supreme Court, pick up two States, and add at least 8 Electoral Votes. Their two objectors are gone!!!
"Don't be WEAK AND STUPID. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! WIN, WIN, WIN! We will immediately END the Extortionist Shutdown, get ALL of our agenda passed, and make life so good for Americans that these DERANGED DEMOCRAT politicians will never again have the chance to DESTROY AMERICA!
"Republicans, you will rue the day that you didn't TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!! BE TOUGH, BE SMART, AND WIN!!! This is much bigger than the Shutdown, this is the survival of our Country!"
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Trump, calling Democrats "crazed people" for prolonging the shutdown.
"These are crazed people that President Trump and Republicans are having to deal with," Leavitt explained, "and that's why President Trump has said, Republicans need to get tough, they need to get smart, and they need to use this option to get rid of the filibuster to reopen the government and do right by the American public.
"We know, Maria, by the polling and based on common sense that the vast majority of this country wants the government reopened. That's what President Trump is willing to do, that's what he wants, and he's willing to use any lever to make it happen."
Leavitt added: "Radical left Democrats who have shut our government down and have held the American people hostage for 32 days in a row. We have air-traffic controller shortages all over this country. Half of our nation's major airports are suffering from severe delays as we head into the busiest travel months of the season. We have a half-million federal workers who are going unpaid. SNAP benefits have expired."
"Only because of President Trump finding a legal maneuver are our troops continuing to be getting paid. If it were up to the Democrats, our military and our law enforcement would not be reaching their paychecks like the rest of the federal government workforce. And Democrats are not showing any signs of wanting to reopen the government. They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens."
When asked if there were any off-ramp to the shutdown, Leavitt replied: "We certainly hope so. We hope the government opens tomorrow. The Democrats want to try to renegotiate the entire health-care system, that they created by the way, and that's why they're holding the government hostage."
"They want to add $1.7 trillion of new spending ind again give taxpayer-funded Medicaid to illegal aliens. That is a red line in the sand for President Trump and Republicans."

Saturday afternoon, just a day after posting his displeasure with the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, President Trump threatened that country's government should it fail to protect the religious minority there.
Posting on Truth Social, the president stated, "If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities."
Trump said he wants the U.S. military to be ready for possible deployment, saying, "I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!"
Friday, Trump asserted, "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a 'COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN' – But that is the least of it."
In response to that statement, pop star Nicki Minaj expressed her gratitude to Trump for highlighting the plight of Nigerian Christians.
"Reading [the president's statement] made me feel a deep sense of gratitude," wrote Minaj. "We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don't have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other."

Concern over violent Democrats, violent Democrat rhetoric and those who would act on those words is pushing a number of Trump administration officials into protected housing on military installations in the Washington, D.C., region.
For example, War Secretary Pete Hegseth now is renting Quarters 8 at Fort McNair, a location that traditionally had been home to the Army's vice chief of staff but recently was vacant.
Other Trump officials have taken up other military-guarded residences, because of threats.
Marco Rubio, secretary of state, lives a couple doors down from Hegseth, mostly alone as his family has remained in Florida, federal officials confirmed.
And Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, is living in a structure owned by the Coast Guard. She also is paying "fair market rent," DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin confirmed.
Also in military housing is Daniel P. Driscoll, the Army secretary, and Navy Secretary John Phelan.
The threat level is turning out to be significantly higher than during Trump's first term, when only Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo resorted to living at protected locations.
American Military News pointed out the officials have taken up military location residence because of "repeated threats and security concerns."
"The Atlantic reported that at least 6 Trump officials are currently living in military housing instead of in private homes and apartments in D.C. and the surrounding area due to harassment and threats of violence against the officials. The outlet reported that several of Trump's top cabinet officials have been swatted, faced violent protesters, and been threatened by anti-Trump protesters during the first several months of the president's second administration."
Of course, Democrats have labeled President Donald Trump "Hitler" and his followers "Nazis" for years already. There have been a number of extremists that have tried to act on that ideology.

America's legacy media long have advocated for the Democrats and their agenda, and opposed President Donald Trump.
They worked during the 2020 election to suppress those scandalous details about the Biden family that were exposed in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden.
Good news about Trump? Rarely reported. Accusations, even false accusations, against him? In the headlines daily.
But something has happened.
Now the Washington Post editorial board, long antagonists of Trump, have "criticized Senate Democrats … for holding the government 'hostage' for a month in hopes of extending costly Obamacare subsidies and urged them to reopen the government by voting for a clean funding bill."
That continuation of ordinary funding for the government is what the GOP has wanted for weeks. Democrats have insisted on raiding taxpayers' bank accounts for another $1.5 trillion to spend on propaganda machines, health care for illegal aliens, and more.
And a broadcast personality on CNN, long an anti-Trump campaign headquarters, further has left conservatives stunned by calling out a Democrat lie, on the air.
It is Fox News that reports on the Washington Post's change.
"The right answer is to reopen the government with a clean funding bill, ideally for a full year, to get food stamps flowing and federal workers back in the office, and then have a debate about ACA subsidies," the board wrote. "Democrats openly acknowledge that they refuse to do this because it would mean giving up their leverage. If they persist, it could mean families start to go hungry."
One result of the Democrats' insistence that the government remain shut down is that funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, processed through food stamps, is running out this weekend.
That will mean, without a resolution, subsidies for millions of Americans' groceries will expire.
"The Post editorial said one reason the government shutdown has dragged on for nearly a month is that 'most Americans have felt no discernible impact on their daily life,' but warned, 'That's starting to change.' 'This pain point, combined with three other dynamics, should help hasten an end to the shutdown as early as next week by making Democrats blink,' the editorial board wrote," according to Fox.
"The Post also noted that federal public employee unions are 'losing patience' with the Democratic Party, citing a recent statement from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), which represents over 800,000 federal workers. The union said the shutdown is harming its members and called for swift action to end it," Fox said.
Even a bigger surprise was a move by Kaitlan Collins, long an outspoken leftist at leftist CNN.
She stepped in to correct a false claim from Democrat Jasmine Crockett live on the air.
Crockett claimed that Trump said his "main priority" is a new ballroom at the White House.
The fact is that answer came in the context of a question asking about his priorities for "renovations" at the White House.
Social media commenters reacted: "So that's why it's so damn cold out, hell did freeze over!!!"

The top legal officers from 24 states are urging the Supreme Court to fix the nation's birthright citizenship problem.
The 14th Amendment, created after the Civil War, was intended to protect the newly freed slaves and their children, but was not intended to give U.S. citizenship to every baby of every illegal alien or foreign visitor to America, President Trump has argued.
He's now being joined by attorneys general from 24 states.
The arguments were filed by attorneys general Jonathan Skrmetti, R-Tenn., and Brenna Bird, R-Iowa, and in a brief asked the Supreme Court to support Trump's argument that American citizenship isn't actually automatic for any newborn born of illegal alien parents or visitors to America.
Trump make that clarification by executive order when he took office in January, "discarding ridiculous left-wing arguments about 'birthright citizenship' — which have allowed illegals to stay in the United States with anchor babies for decades."
But leftist officials in Washington, Illinois, Oregon and Arizona sued.
A report at the Federalist noted, "If the Supreme Court ends up taking the case and rules in line with the true understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Citizenship Clause, the Trump administration could start turning the corner on removing the true number of illegals in the country."
"The idea that citizenship is guaranteed to everyone born in the United States doesn't square with the plain language of the Fourteenth Amendment or the way many government officials and legal analysts understood the law when it was adopted after the Civil War," Skrmetti said. "If you look at the law at the time, citizenship attached to kids whose parents were lawfully in the country. Each child born in this country is precious no matter their parents' immigration status, but not every child is entitled to American citizenship. This case could allow the Supreme Court to resolve a constitutional question with far-reaching implications for the States and our nation."
Leftists at entry level courts in the federal judiciary have sided, so far, with the citizenship-for-all agenda. They issued nationwide injunctions, a move that already has been rebuked by the Supreme Court.
But those justices have yet to rule on the merits of the "birthright" dispute.
The Federalist said, "The brief shows the history surrounding the ratification of the 14th Amendment and its Citizenship Clause from the 1860s through the early 1900s, laying out the proper understanding of the clause before it was twisted by opportunistic leftists who wanted to destroy the country by importing culturally unrecognizable people who refuse to assimilate."
The report said, "'Birthright citizenship' incentivizes illegal immigration, which inherently takes a toll on states both through sapping government resources meant for Americans and degrading culture and community."
The state attorneys charged, "Recent years have seen an influx of illegal aliens — over 9 million — overwhelming our nation's infrastructure and its capacity to assimilate. Conferring United States citizenship requires a more meaningful connection than mere presence by happenstance or illegality. That connection, originalist evidence repeatedly instructs, was parental domicile."
Opponents of Trump's executive order claim a federal court case from 1898 supports their argument, but it likely doesn't.
In that case a baby was born in American of two Chinese nationals, and was declared a citizen, because the parents were in the United States legally, not illegally.
Key is that the amendment applies citizenship to those who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
In fact, Congress in 1866 excluded from citizenship children of "persons temporarily resident" so that those who did not "owe a complete, permanent allegiance" to the U.S. would not benefit.
The report explained, "In 19th century lectures on naturalization and citizenship, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Freeman Miller explained that 'if a stranger or traveller [sic] passing through, or temporarily residing in this country, who has not himself been naturalized, and who claims to owe no allegiance to our Government, has a child born here which goes out of the country with its father, such child is not a citizen of the United States, because it was not subject to its jurisdiction.'"
States joining included: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat member of the U.S. House representing a district in Texas, is known for her leftist extremism and a long list of scandals.
There have been claims she abused her staff, she mocked the disabled and has made dangerous, even threatening statements, about law enforcement.
But now a report has been released in the Free Beacon that could become actionable.
The report is that Crockett, "owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she'd quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn't reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023."
Members of Congress are required to list their investments, and values, in broad ranges, so that the public knows if they are voting for issues that will benefit them financially.
The scandals for the woman called by some a "rising star" for Democrats includes her alleged abuse of staff members and her reputation as the "Boss from hell."
Also she's been accused of demanding staff members open doors for her, and drive her around in rented luxury vehicles like Escalades.
Her statement about law enforcement was, "Law enforcement isn't to prevent crime, law enforcement solves crime, okay? That is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening per se."
And she mocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair because of an accident years ago, as "Governor Hot Wheels."
She been accused of cutting in line ahead of two wheelchair passengers to get on a flight.
There's been more but the Free Beacon focused on her stock holdings and financial interests.
Her ownership includes bits and pieces of "Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and 'Corporate Cannabis,' and 'Stocks Worldwide,' the records show. Crockett also reported in her last Texas financial disclosure owing debts of at least $110,000—none of which she divulged in her first congressional financial disclosure covering the same calendar year," the report revealed.
The details were obtained from public records requests, and they clash "with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism."
She was trying to open marijuana stores in Ohio, "even as she represented, as a defense lawyer, a man accused of murdering someone in a marijuana deal gone bad. Both in the Texas statehouse and in Congress, Crockett has pushed bills to decriminalize marijuana."
The report found her stock holdings included companies that could have benefited from her work as a lawmaker.
She admitted owning stock in "pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, technology, automobile, and marijuana" industries as a Texas lawmaker, but they "did not disclose owning any of those same stocks in her first congressional financial disclosure, which also covered her financial holdings during the 2021 calendar year," the report said.
"False or incomplete financial reports can lead to civil and even criminal penalties," the report said.
"Personal financial disclosure rules are in place to make sure Members of Congress do not engage in conflicts of interest while working for the American people. The concerns surrounding the extreme discrepancies between Representative Crockett's state and federal financial disclosures are certainly legitimate. If she is found to have improperly reported her assets and liabilities, further inquiry and possible penalties would be warranted," charged Cailin Sutherland, of Americans for Public Trust.
The report said it wasn't clear what her portfolio's current status is, as she didn't respond.

Media corporations across America long have opposed, privately and publicly, President Donald Trump. Negative stories? Every day. Reports on his successes? A rarity.
But now a federal appeals court has cleared the path for a lawsuit brought by Trump over a last-minute polling before the 2024 election that exhibited a lot of suspicious factors, and it literally tried to give a huge boost to failed Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.
The polling was done by J. Ann Selzer for The Des Moines Register, and claimed Harris held a three-point edge over Trump in Iowa, 47% to 44%.
It was pushed to the headlines just two days before the election.
And it was a "stunning" reversal from shortly before, when Trump was confirmed to have a four-point lead.
According to a documentation from Americafirstreport.com, "Released just days before voters headed to the polls, the numbers lit up cable news and social media, painting a false picture of momentum for the Democratic ticket in a reliably red stronghold. In reality, Trump crushed Harris by more than 13 points, his widest margin in Iowa yet and the biggest Republican presidential win there since Ronald Reagan's era."
Trumps court filing in Polk County District Court charged that the defendants, Selzer, the Register and others, of "brazen election interference" through a "leaked and manipulated" poll intended to sway undecided voters.
"The complaint lays out a pattern of suspicious shifts: sample sizes skewed toward urban areas, questionable weighting that favored younger and minority respondents, and a sudden leak to friendly outlets that amplified the Harris lead without scrutiny," the report said.
Now the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for the defamation lawsuit to proceed in state court.
"This move strips away what Trump's lawyers called a shield of 'unlawful gamesmanship' by the defendants, forcing them to face accountability where the wrongs took place," the report said.
The report pointed out that the huge fail by Selzer, who strangely decided to abandon polling days after this was released, "smacks of something more coordinated, especially given the timing and the media echo chamber that treated it as gospel despite her spotted track record…"
The report noted, "Her polls have always tended to favor whoever she personally supports."
The defendants had tried to move the case from state to federal court, but Trump's lawyers argued that the federal venue move was a delay tactic as state law governed the claims.
The 8th Circuit agreed.
The report noted this case, ultimately, "could crack open doors to similar suits against pollsters nationwide reminding the press that free speech doesn't license fraud."
