Guest post by Wayne Allyn Root
I was born and raised in New York. I spent the first 26 years of my life there- still the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere in my life. I attended college there- at Columbia University. I started my first few businesses there. I learned everything about life there, that has made me the man I am today.
I loved New York. I used to be proud of my New York roots (excuse the pun). I used to say I succeeded in business because I had, “New York Attitude.”
Used to. Not anymore.
Now I’m embarrassed to admit I was born and raised in New York. Now it’s a third-world sh*thole. A foreign state in the middle of America. A failed liberal welfare state. A place where good people are desperate to escape from.
Zohran Mamdani is going to win the election on Tuesday.
That’s a fact. I read polls for a living. I read “tea leaves” for a living. I’m batting almost 1000% with my political predictions for the past decade on national TV and radio. It’s over. I’m sad to say it- but Mamdani will win.
Why is this unimaginable tragedy happening in NYC?
The reason is simple. When I grew up, I was the only Jew in a typical working-class, blue-collar New York neighborhood. Everyone else was Italian Catholic. The only exception was one Irish Catholic friend of mine- Johnny O’Byrne.
And our close-knit Italian neighborhood was surrounded by 100% black neighborhoods. I went to a middle school and high school that was 90%+ black.
Everyone I knew growing up in New York was either Jewish, Italian, Irish, or black. Everyone was American-born. We all spoke one language- English. I never met a single foreigner, let alone an illegal alien.
I’ve warned for weeks now on my national TV and radio shows that if Mamdani wins, it’s because the New York I knew…the New York I grew up in…is gone. Today’s New York is filled with foreigners, and most of them are illegal aliens.
Gone are the days of Catholics and Jews- who all spoke English, worked their fingers to the bone, pledged allegiance to the flag, and celebrated capitalism. Today’s New York is a city of Muslims, and communists, and atheists- many of whom should never have been allowed to enter our country.
They not only don’t love America, they hate America. They hate white people. They hate Jews. They hate patriots. They hate anyone who is successful. And they choose socialism and communism over capitalism.
When I read the details of polls in NYC today, I’m proven right…
The general breakdown of voters is exactly what I predicted…
Jews are voting 75% for someone other than Mamdani (mostly Cuomo).
Catholics are voting 70% for someone other than Mamdani (mostly Cuomo, but also Republican Curtis Sliwa).
But foreigners are voting overwhelmingly for Mamdani.
That’s why Mamdani is winning.
This explains everything. The New York of today is nothing like the New York I grew up in. Yes, it was predominantly Democrat then… and it’s still predominantly Democrat today.
But in the old days, those were normal, sane, Democrats who elected law-and-order Democrat Ed Koch as Mayor three times.
And who elected Republican Rudy Giuliani as Mayor two times.
And who elected Republican Michael Bloomberg three times.
And who elected Republican George Pataki as Governor of New York State three times.
That old New York was a combination of Jewish, Italian, Irish and black.
But today’s New York is a foreign country.
I don’t even recognize my old hometown. It’s filled with foreigners- most of them illegal aliens. No one speaks English. Walking on the streets of NYC is like being at the United Nations. They’re from every country in the world, but America. And many of them, if not most, hate America and our capitalist system.
Think I’m guessing? Nope. The Democracy Institute is the most accurate pollster in the country for the past decade. Their latest poll shows New York City voters prefer socialism over capitalism by 61% to 39%.
You can bet that one third of that majority who supports socialism are white liberal nerds from elite colleges, brainwashed by Marxist professors. But two thirds of that socialist majority are foreigners, who come from socialist countries, and brought their ignorant and dangerous views with them to poison our country.
It’s official…
Mamdani is the next Mayor of my hometown, New York- a place that I no longer recognize.
It’s not Jewish or Catholic anymore. It’s not white or black anymore. It’s not even American anymore.
It’s a failed foreign city in the middle of America.
In my next column, I’ll tell you the controversial, raw truth about what is going to happen to NYC after Mamdani is elected. Think Titanic meets Poseidon Adventure, with a touch of Zimbabwe, Haiti, and Venezuela thrown in.
