The corruption in American politics is truly outrageous

Asalamu alaikum Shaun

Thank you for this update! I believe New Yorkers are about the make history by electing the first Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. I wonder if Mamdani wins; if his opponents will request a recount :) I am sure if Mamdani loses, he will handle it with class and grace as he has inspired so many around the country with his sharp debate performances; and now New Yorkers have the chance to make history; we'll see.

Mayor Adams's comments are a low point. He had earned so much respect with the Muslim community, and a high point when he supported he beautiful sound of the adhan - call to prayer to be broadcast in New York City:

As in regards to Churches; the Palestinian Christians have entrusted the Palestinian Muslims to not only protect the churches but to hold the keys in Jerusalem and safeguard them from the zionists and including the European crusaders who even killed Palestinian Christians who rejected their Crusade:

I would recommend all current and aspiring political candidates to consider educating themselves on the history of Palestine. Even President Biden knew he made a career mistake by declaring himself a Zionist, waiting 7 months before endorsing a ceasefire in Gaza, and allowing the war crimes against the Palestinians to happen. He will forever be recorded in history as "Genocide Joe" as the protestors yelled at him. Many Americans also had another term (will not post here) after the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, leading to the many American soldiers who lost their lives.

President Biden tried to hide the book cover title on the book on Palestine that he bought; here it is:

US President Joe Biden Pictured With a Book On Palestine, Author Responds. The book, which frames the establishment of Israel as a "settler-colonial conquest" met by Palestinian resistance, has fuelled debates since its release.

He loves everything about Israel. Does that include war crimes and genocide

I suspect, Ms. Norris, that he would be of the group that denies that those occurred, in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary

Mamdani is proof that AIPARASITE with all its resources can not win an election against a real people’s candidate.

I'm in the NYC area and saw that disgrace of an endorsement yesterday by Adams. You're right. Political corruption is outrageous and out-of-control. How sad that so many are willing to sell their souls at the expense of others. Go Zohran!!!!

Selling your soul to those devils will literally make you do anything even if it means making a total fool of yourself. Interesting how the place he wants to retire is illegally occupied by Israel. Will he live on one of the illegal settlements there where he can squat on other people’s land for free housing? 🤨

These politicians that flip flop like feathers in the wind will go in the direction of the wind anytime in a second, yet they pretend to be forceful leaders and as strong as missiles launched by conviction. They are weak and self serving charlatans.

There’s no integrity left. I am hopeful that these horrid clan of politicians over the past few decades will lose and give rise to good humans and strong candidates like Mamdani. I believe that the newer generations will rise to the challenge!!! Hopeful 🙏🙏🙏
