"The higher a monkey climbs, the more you can see it's ass..." -- General Joseph Stillwell
This is going to be a bear of a week (it has already been a bear of the last two weeks, which is why I have not had time to post) as my customers all rush to get their last-minute system changes in before the typical year-end moratorium kicks in, so this is all you'll get until next weekend.
Deal.
Here's a collection of random thoughts bouncing around the Death Star this week:
1. On the subject of Zohran Mamdani, New Caliph of New Yorkistan.
Something that has been bouncing around New York City politics since the late 1980's has been resurrected, that is, the question of the secession of Staten Island from the City of New York. A referendum on this notion was voted upon in the late 1980's, if memory serves, and was overwhelmingly passed.
The problem(s) with it were Bill Clinton, David Dinkins (former mayor) and Sheldon Silver (former ringmaster of the permanent clown show of the State Assembly in Albany).
Staten Islanders have always had a very bad relationship with the rest of the city and for very good cause: the rest of New York treats this borough as an afterthought, at best, or as a dumping ground for all the nasty projects no other borough can countenance.
For example: the Fresh Kills landfill was once the largest garbage dump in the United States (or at least it seemed that way) and local lore tells how it was once visible from orbit. The Dump, as we called it, was a constant irritant: it smelled, naturally (the City once tried to alleviate that inconvenience by spraying the garbage from helicopter with a lemon-scented chemical; needless to say, this did not work).
The infamous Robert Moses, the local version of Kali the Destroyer, once saw the island as little more than an inconvenience to commerce and travel between New York and New Jersey, and so a great program of highway construction was undertaken, never to be completed. There are on- and exit- ramps and road cuts through the center of the island which have been abandoned since the 1960's everywhere.
So, too, the sewage system. Staten Island, until the early 2000s, was the only borough that did not have a complete system of storm drains and sewage arrangements that often led to flooding in inclement weather and left a good deal of real estate undeveloped for decades. That changed, of course, but it left a nasty taste in people's mouths since this is a 'bedroom community' (or was) where people were paying some of the highest property taxes in America just to have to continuously pump out septic tanks and their frequently-flooded basements.
Don't get me started on the politics: this is a republican bastion and the rest of the city votes Left-of-Stalin.
In any case, the idea of secession came about once the United States Navy came to town.
Naval Station New York was to be the home port of a 'Surface Action Group' which at the time consisted of the battleship USS Iowa, a cruiser and several destroyers (most-notable among them the famous USS The Sullivans). A great deal of money was spent: berthing facilities, warehouses, ship repair arrangements and so forth, and the promise of 5,000 sailors and their families based here permanently. A huge building boom took place to accommodate all of those sailors and their dependents, and the Iowa was even berthed here for a while.
And then it exploded because of a gay lovers triangle or something they tell me.
Anyways, the revenue from the naval base, plus the already-considerable tax revenue produced by island residents (Staten Island, with just over 500,000 residents accounts for nearly 20% of all NYC tax revenue) would have made independence affordable and possible.
And then the democrats came along...
Between Clinton (base closures were all the rage, because 'Peace Dividend'), David Dinkins (the original DEI hire) and Silver (since convicted of a number of things and then dead) conspired to keep the referendum that had been voted into life from ever seeing the light of day, i.e. a vote by the State Assembly.
So far as I know, the referendum is still 'tabled' in the Assembly. Several local pols are talking a good game about finally getting it voted on.
You have a better chance of seeing Christ show up to your kindergartner's school in drag to read Little Red Leather Hood, but the proper noises are being made. The current State Assembly is stocked to the rafters with every kind of The Diversity you can imagine, a good deal of it the sort that finds air racist or sexist, so good luck on that one.
I, for one, will be making the proper noises, as well, but it will take extraordinary action to see this happen. As a Native New Yorker (born in Manhattan, raised in Brooklyn and Staten Island) I weep for what my city has become. The origins of this transformation have much to do with The Illegal Diversity and the rejects vomited up by the mind-numbingly boring sections of the American Midwest (but that's a tale for another day) with a large dash of complete dumbfuck provided by leftist politics, culminating on the elevation of a young, obviously-hypocritical Muslim nepo baby who fashioned himself as a champion of the downtrodden, despite being one of the people who trod them down.
The quote that I opened this screed with is most appropriate here, for Mamdani is the monkey with his ass exposed.
Stay tuned.
2. On the Subject of Zohran Mamdani meeting with President Trump.
Some might be surprised that Trump invited Little Brown Mao to the White House, despite Trump's calling Sultan Socialist a communist and the Ayatollah of Shitbag saying he would be, quote, "Donald Trump's worst nightmare".
Trump has a vested interest in not wanting New York to submerge into a flashier version of Moscow because, well, he built it. He still has extensive connections and assets he would like to preserve, despite the activities of every liberal judge, AG, DA and posturing douchebag in this state making extraordinary efforts to personally destroy the man.
Mamdani, likewise, has every reason to curry favor with Trump, because everything he says he wants to do (and then later recants) will require a great deal of financing that the other curse of New York, Kathy Hochul, is not going to give him. She has already stated she will not raise taxes on New Yorkers (which is a promise about as substantive as a cabbage fart, in any case) just so that Mamdani can give 'free stuff' to the denizens of the city.
So, it would appear as if the two have a common cause, after all, and it is all a reminder that politics makes strange bedfellows.
But it would not surprise me in the least if, despite the united front for the cameras, Trump hasn't already spanked this piece of shit in private and the invitation was simply bait in some sort of trap.
In the end Mamdani will accomplish absolutely nothing and with any luck, his legion of assholes, illegal immigrants and irrationally-guilty white libtards will turn on him in the proverbial New York Minute.
However, there is something to be aware of in the meantime that requires immediate attention:
3. The Uppity Sand Nigg*rs
Having been buoyed by the success of 'one of their own' (he isn't, you morons) the local exploding population has begun to strut about like peacocks hyped up on Viagra. One notices hostile attitudes from the sheep-shaggers where once there was comity. The worst indication of a belief in the Triumph of Sharia is the sudden appearance of vehicles -- decked out to resemble NYPD police cruisers -- that are part of a 'Muslim Patrol'.
One doesn't need a degree in Nuclear Physics to understand what this means: there will now be inbred assholes armed with a 7th century mindset 'patrolling' the streets of NY and operating under the mistaken impression that they are empowered to become the enforcers of 'morality' on the city streets.
Much like the Morality Police that are active in many Muslim countries.
This will fly about as well as a pig with propellers and the eventuality of open resistance, if not violence, is assured. And we know who will be instigating the violence, and retaliating, as well.
Needless to say, neither will be Caucasian, neither will be very smart, and all of them are probably on public assistance of some sort. You're about to see what happens when different factions of The Diversity -- one believing itself ascendant, the other committed to a lifestyle of sloth, serial bastardy, criminal behavior as a birthright and smoking weed in public 24/7 -- collide.
With any luck, they'll solve the various problems they present among themselves and not in a friendly manner.
You see, some of these people don't blow themselves up for a laugh; they're serious when they tell you they want the Jews, the Christians and everyone else they don't like dead or enslaved. A good many hide it very well behind a mask of fake sincerity and friendship, but even the ones who are genuine will not interfere with their crazier kin because they know what that kin is capable of.
The myth of 'the Moderate Muslim' is just that; they may be moderate in their personal beliefs, but they will do nothing to rein in their most-excitable, rape-oriented brethren out of fear, making their 'moderation' about as useful and effective as a COVID shot.
Two other examples:
A recent 'interfaith event' at City University was disrupted when the first speaker -- an Imam, given precedence probably as an outburst of DEI -- instructed all the Muslims present to leave the event, not deigning to share the room with Infidels.
They complied.
The second happened yesterday when another Imam who was supposed to give a speech somewhere was offended by the sight of members of the audience ostentatiously eating bacon. The whole thing left the poor little fucktard in tears.
Again, stay tuned.
4. On Stupid White Women
I'm sorry, that was redundant.
To all the women in New York City of a certain age and mental disability who are loudly cheering the elevation of a complete halfwit marketing campaign with a virtue signal orgasm over the coming of Sharia Law, I say, you voted for the rape that's coming your way, so just STFU and enjoy it when it happens.
You are under the mistaken impression that Sharia somehow grants women extraordinary rights that are denied you by liberal democracy.
I say, "look around the world; do any of those women look 'empowered'?".
If you believe that a culture that wraps it's women up in burlap, treats wives as property, denies women the rights to education, voting or driving, can have you stoned to death for the slightest infraction, automatically assumes you're at fault when you're sexually assaulted, and practices child-marriage and clitoral mutilation is a godsend for you, then you have serious problems.
And yet, the intertoobies have been flooded in recent weeks with videos of young women celebrating the arrival of the Medieval Mindset.
A surprising number of them apparently recorded inside bars.
Oh, Irony, thou art the cruelest bitch...
Oh, yeah...you're gonna love living under the new regime you voted in just for 'free stuff' that will never materialize.
You now know why I stopped dating you all a very long time ago.
And finally, I want to wish every one of my Minions a very happy, healthy and satisfying Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you for reading and supporting this page. I really appreciate the lot of you.
