MAYOR MAMDANI: "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism
with the warmth of collectivism."
They already are griping abut no party, no food trucks, no bread,
circuses, or porta-potties.

“It’s definitely not a block party,” said Danny Mahabir, 30, an Astoria
resident who told The Post he’d been expecting a mix of food and music at
the New Year’s Day festivities.
“It’s not exactly what I was expecting,” said Brooklyn resident Shane
Turner, 30. “I was expecting food and music.”
Mamdani’s camp billed the event as a public block party along the historic
Canyon of Heroes that would have designated viewing areas for “tens of
thousands to gather and participate in the ceremony, ensuring the day belongs
to all New Yorkers.”
But his team also warned on their website there would not be portable
restrooms “due to safety concerns” and “no food for sale within the
block party.”
Shariah law here we go!
"Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, Islam
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, Islam
I want to wake up
In a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the caliphate
Top of the heap
Thrown down the stairs
Without any cares
And right off the roof
The gay muzzis leap!"
