43.9% - 39.4%, Commie v Cuomo.
If the voters who really, really hate to see a slimy bastard like Andrew Cuomo return to power, but know that it’d be insane to hand the city over to Mamdani could cast a protest vote for Sliwa and “second choice” Cuomo, it’d be back to his mommy'‘s house for our Ugandan from Hell.
Public schools across the country are directing teachers to use curriculum resources from a nonprofit that teaches American history through the lens of racial and sexual oppression.
The Zinn Education Project (ZEP), named for the late radical 1960s professor Howard Zinn, pushes controversial resources and lesson plans to teachers for students as young as pre-K, all the way up to grade 12.
ZEP boasts that its curriculum has been adopted by more than 176,000 teachers, who have downloaded more than 765,000 lessons for their students, according to its website. The organization hosts a Teach Truth Day of Action annually, which is co-sponsored by the NEA, America's largest teachers union, and other organizations.
Zinn, who died in 2010, taught at Boston University from the early 1960s until his retirement in 1988. He was the author of "A People’s History of the United States," a book that teaches American history, beginning with Christopher Columbus' discovery of North America and into the 21st century, through a lens of racial and sexual oppression. The principles in his book serve as the benchmark for ZEP's lessons.
[FWIW: [From A People’s History of America introduction:
"The pretense is that there really is such a thing as ‘the United States, subject to conflicts and quarrels, but fundamentally a community of people with common interests. It is as if there really is a ‘national interest’ represented in the Constitution, in territorial expansion, in the laws passed by Congress, the decisions of the courts, the development of capitalism, the culture of education and the mass media.”
…. My viewpoint, in telling the history of the United States, is different: that we must not accept the memory of the states as our own. Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals fierce conflicts of interest … between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners.”
[Now back to your regularly scheduled programming — Ed]
In 2003, Zinn described himself as, "Something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe a democratic socialist."
New York City Public Schools, the largest school district in the country, encourages teachers to use ZEP resources to teach during Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Disability Pride Month and Pride Month.
"The Zinn Education Project also has compiled lesson ideas and relevant primary sources into a resource called 'Teaching with Seizing Freedom' that educators can use in their classrooms alongside the podcast," a Black History resources page on the school system's website says.
The "Teaching with Seizing Freedom" podcast is described by ZEP as "an ideal resource to introduce students to the imaginative, defiant ways that Black people sought and enacted freedom throughout U.S. history — and brings to life voices that are often muted in textbooks."
For Disability Pride Month, the school system directs teachers to ZEP resources that include an article titled, "10 Quick Ways to Analyze Children’s Books for Ableism."
In the Chicago Public Schools system, a page called "Equity Tools," alongside other social justice resources from other organizations, like "Implicit Bias and Structural Racialization" from the National Equity Project, ZEP is mentioned as a resource. The public school system links to the ZEP homepage.
Similarly, Portland Public Schools in Oregon directs teachers and students to ZEP for resources on Black History Month. The ZEP site has 328 webpages of resources for teaching Black History Month.
A summary on the ZEP page on Black History Month recommends a book called "The Real Ebonics Debate: Power, Language, and the Education of African-American Children." That book summary describes ebonics as "the distinctive language of many African-American children," and emphasizes urgency for teachers to learn to engage with discussions about ebonics.
…. ZEP's website is full of colorful testimonials from teachers around the country, including Sarah Giddings, identified as a middle school social studies teacher from Mesa, Arizona. Giddings used ZEP resources to teach her students about climate change.
"The culminating activity involved having my students participate in a mock trial based on Bill Bigelow’s role play activity ‘Who’s to Blame for the Climate Crisis?'" Giddings' testimonial says. "By this point of our study, my students were emotionally and intellectually ‘invested’ and were genuinely curious as to what or who is responsible for the environmental crisis."
"I’ve used the Zinn Education Project’s materials since my first year teaching," says a testimonial from Corey Wincester, described as a high school history teacher from Evanston, Ill.
"Nine years later, my students can speak to the power of deconstructing the narratives of Christopher Columbus and Abraham Lincoln’s efforts that have replicated white supremacy and marginalization of people of color in historical discourse.
None of the school districts mentioned returned a request for comment.
Here’s the Zinn homepage. And lest you think this deconstruction of America is restricted to public schools, I offer this: Many years ago, I used to stop at the Putnam Avenue Starbucks for a 7:00 AM coffee to go. There was always a line at that time and, because of similar schedules, often the same people. Over months, I came to converse with many of the same people and struck up a casual aquaintance with several of them. One was a very nice younger man who, he told me, taught history at Rye Country Day, “and my favorite resource, the one I primarily teach from, is Howard Zinn’s ‘A People’s History f the United States” — these kids minds are just blown away.” I don’t think he meant that literally, but it was a powerful, and apt, metaphor.
Further reading, if curious, on the scope of the penetration of Zinn and a critique of the work itself can be found in, of all places, an article published by the AFT in 2013: “Undue Certainty” I’m morally certain that, as much as the author softpedals his (scathing) analysis, the vast majority of Randi Weingarteners would like to see him hanged.
331 Round Hill Road, priced at $4.350 million last June, is now reported pending. The previous owners of this 1758 home tried for $4.1 million between 2010 and 2013 before selling it to these sellers for $1.9 in February of that year. It’s been renovated since, and although a first attempt to resell in 2023 for $3.995 failed, it was brought back, as noted, this past June with better luck.
After an antisemitism watchdog posted a new video warning about socialist efforts to take over the Democratic Party from within, socialist leaders from across the country embraced the video and its message, appearing unafraid of such accusations.
The Canary Mission's advertisement included recorded remarks from various leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) describing their opposition to, and in some cases "hatred" of the Democratic Party, which one speaker says must be torn down. The video also shared remarks from DSA leaders describing how the Democratic Party, which one of the socialist speakers in the video referred to as "toxic," can be used as a "tool" to push forward their aims of destroying the current capitalist society we live in.
At the center of the ad was something Canary Mission referred to as the "cuckoo analogy."
"In nature, the cuckoo survives by trickery. It lays its egg in another bird's nest. The unsuspecting parents raise the impostor as their own until the cuckoo grows strong enough to push the true chicks out," the video's narrator explains. "The DSA is the cuckoo inside the Democratic Party."
But the analogy, which pointed to candidates like self-proclaimed socialist Zohran Mamdani, did not appear to bother the socialists it was targeting. Rather, they applauded the video advertisement as a great recruitment tool to get more people to join their ranks.
"New DSA recruitment ad for communists just dropped," joked Nicolás Vargas in response to the video. Vargas has been affiliated with the Central Brooklyn branch of the DSA, according to a 2022 DSA national convention resolution on COVID protections.
"Are you trying to make young people find the DSA more cool?" quipped Marxist-socialist blogger C. Derrick Varn.
"New recruitment ad unlocked," joked Giovanetta Marangoz, co-chair of the New York City Young Democratic Socialists of America.
Other socialist activists were a little more direct in their view that the Democratic Party must be extinguished.
"My biggest gripe is the idea that we’re being deceptive," Allan Frasheri, an at-large delegate to the 2023 DSA Convention who spent time as a co-chair of the University of Florida's DSA chapter, said in response to the video. "DSA is loud and proud: we are fighting for a worker’s party. Only a party of, by and for working people can bring about a better world. The Democratic Party is ultimately one for the billionaires."
"This is the best DSA ad I’ve ever seen," added DSA organizer Miko Ludoviko. "The DSA is an anti-capitalist organization with the long-term goal of taking state power. The Democratic Party is a tool we use for local elections, but it remains an enemy of the working class."
Offering tons of free stuff is bound to attract looters and parasites, and those who are here already are likely to want to remain, but what about the productive segment, the ones who are supposed to stick around and produce all the wealth that’s going to fund the party? Houston, we may have a problem.
Staten Island voters led the stampede, with 21% saying they’d go and another 54% considering it. In Manhattan, 6% say they’d flee and 20% are unsure; in Brooklyn, it’s 8% and 18%.
These types of polls are generally pretty worthless: imagine, for instance, how much better our country would be now if all the celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump were elected had stuck to their word? Still, it’s a bit naive of Mamdani’s supporters to think that they will be richer when wealth is redistributed; they think it’s other people’s money that will be handed out, not theirs, but if they’re earning an income, they’re going to be funding pool for the city’s new population of freeloaders.
Criticizes him for failing to address climate change. "It's unbelievable; I don’t know of a greater criminal in history."

UPDATE 11/03/25: Not the Bee captures the situation nicely:
NY Post:
Some Democrats in Albany may be starting to see the insanity of New York’s “climate action” laws — but will enough agree to even delay the suicide pact?
Gov. Kathy Hochul says she wants to “review all our options,” including making changes to the state’s disastrous 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act — which set budget-busting, pie-in-the-sky mandates to slash greenhouse-gas emissions.
Plus, some Assembly Democrats who once denied Hochul was banning gas stoves now admit that’s just what she’s doing — and demand she delay the ban.
Yet it’ll be tough to convince the progressives who dominate the Legislature to roll back the law, since global-warming hysteria remains the rule on the left, especially among the donor class and other college-educated whites.
….
Rising utility bills and the threat of blackouts are already becoming major issues in New York, and Hochul plans to make “affordability” the centerpiece of her 2026 reelection campaign.
“My job is to ensure we have enough power to keep the lights on, keep rates affordable and attract major economic development projects,” the gov griped after a judge last month ordered her Department of Environmental Conservation to issue rules to ensure the state meets the 2019 law’s emissions goals.
Meaning: She wants to override (or ignore: see below) the clear letter of the law, even if she doesn’t dare go so far as to call out these statutes’ stupidity.
“We plan to review all our options, including working with the Legislature to modify the CLCPA,” in order “to protect New Yorkers from higher costs.”
Under the law, New York must cut CO2 output by 40% by 2030 and 85% by 2050.
On the other hand, the law ordered that rules to achieve those goals be enacted by Jan. 1, 2024 — yet here we are nearly two years later, and they have yet to materialize.
(Yep: Hochul’s ignoring the law!)
Meanwhile, Assemblyman William Conrad (D-W.NY) reports the state’s no-gas mandate, which kicks in at the end of this year, has already hiked construction costs, threatening affordable-housing projects and raising the specter of winter blackouts.
Worse, the state Climate Action Plan mandates closing natural-gas power plants and replacing them with pricier, less reliable solar and offshore-wind installations (which are often failing to get off the ground).
Indeed: The New York Independent System Operator (which runs the electric grid) and even the New York Affordable Clean Power Alliance, a solar-industry group, warn that shifting to solar and wind poses dire threats to reliable power, particularly in the Hudson Valley, Long Island and the Big Apple.
How will Hochul prevent blackouts and keep costs down for New Yorkers when the power supply runs short? Especially, as the NYSIO points out, with growing electric demands from cryptocurrency, data mining and all the “green” mandates to shift to electric heat, cooking and cars?
The idea that New York can even build enough solar- and wind-power generation in time to meet those mandates was always fantasy, a charade to please climate activists — yet it’s what the law says the state must do.
As the legal deadlines get closer (or pass without the state doing what the law says it should), the truth grows ever more obvious: It’s not just unrealistic to make “net-zero carbon emissions” a top priority, it’s also expensive, risky and wrongheaded.
How many court orders can the governor defy?
Can she get the Legislature to change the laws and get the courts off her back?
Alas, pols like Hochul may only care about timing: The 2026 gas mandates kick in just as their reelection campaigns begin.
“Don’t bring things to a grinding halt,” suggests Assemblyman John McDonald (D-Rensselaer), just “slow down a little bit and put a temporary pause in there.”
Translation: Wait until after we’re safely reelected before socking New Yorkers with higher bills and blackouts.
…. As long as Democrats dominate, it’s hard to see New York having reliable electric power much longer, and just forget about it being affordable.
FWIW: The “better” alternative to the muslim communist currently in the lead in the NYC mayoral contest is Andrew Cuomo. If he won, how would Cuomo deal with the enegry crisis that’s about to descend on his city? No one seems to have asked him, but here’s what he did as governor to set the wrecking ball swinging: Blocked/vetoed two new natural gas pipelines, one LNG terminal, banned fracking, and banned the importation of gas from Pennsylvania’s fracking fields.
Williams Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline: In May 2020, the Cuomo administration denied a permit for this pipeline, which would have supplied natural gas to Long Island and New York City.
Constitution pipeline: In 2016, New York's Department of Environmental Conservation denied a water-quality permit for this pipeline that would have transported gas from Pennsylvania to upstate New York and New England.
Port Ambrose LNG terminal: In 2015, Cuomo vetoed this project, which involved a deepwater port to receive liquified natural gas (LNG) from tankers, citing security risks and environmental concerns.
No natural gas, but also, thnaks to Cuomo and his fellow morons in the state legislature, no nuclear power either:
The former governor's success in shutting down the downstate nuclear plant increased emissions and raised energy costs.
Cuomo fought for decades to shut the plant, located 25 miles north of New York City. He raised concerns about the safety of the aging facility and its proximity to the nation’s biggest population center, where an evacuation — if the worst happened — would be impossible.
But when Indian Point went offline, gas power filled the gap — pushing emissions up 22 percent between 2019 and 2022 and exposing consumers to costly price swings. Households and businesses paid as much as $300 million more for electricity in 2022 alone, according to a conservative-leaning think tank.
And the state’s and city’s climate goals became more challenging to achieve.
“The city is much more reliant on its in-city fossil generation in a way that didn’t have to happen the way it did,” said Dan Zarrilli, former chief climate policy adviser to Mayor Bill de Blasio. “It was clear that natural gas was going to fill that gap.”
…. And with energy prices again top of mind for voters, affordability has become a defining issue in the 2025 mayoral race — particularly for working-class and outer borough neighborhoods hit hardest by high utility bills.
Fun, fun, fun.
Peter K. Killoght, justice maryland supreme court
The signs, painted on Halloween-style gravestones, depict politically charged messages like, "Here lies the Constitution," "RIP Freedom of Speech," "RIP Food Aid," "Beware Health Insurance Cuts," "RIP Due Process" and "RIP Climate Science."

Critics are saying the decorations cast doubt on whether Killough can rule fairly and impartially in cases before the court, especially as the Maryland Supreme Court is currently hearing a high-stakes environmental case.
That case, Mayor & City Council of Baltimore v. BP P.L.C., involves a lawsuit brought by Baltimore officials against major oil companies, accusing them of knowingly misleading the public about the impact of fossil fuels on climate change and contributing to costly local damage from rising sea levels and extreme weather. Oral arguments were heard on October 6.
Sexist pig — and coward
A spokesperson for the Maryland Judiciary, Nick Cavey, told Fox News Digital that "the signs belong to Justice Killough's wife" and that the Justice "has no further comments."
Leave aside the case of a wildly-prejudiced judge — they’re a dime a dozen — and look at the broader issue here: the suits being brought by various states and cities against oil companies for their alleged failure to warn of the (claimed) dangers of global warming? Are these claimants willing to disgorge all that the industrial revolution, made possible by cheap energy, brought to them? Will they decline to profit further from future products and activities that are dependant on fossil fuels?
For instance, is the mayor of Baltimore ready to ban oil-powered cargo ships from the Port of Baltimore? Prohibit the import of anything contributing to global warming? Here’s what would disappear if he did:
AI Overview
The Port of Baltimore is a major shipping port in Maryland located on the Chesapeake Bay that handles a diverse range of cargo, including being the top U.S. port for roll-on/roll-off cargo, imported forest products, and motorized vehicles. It is also one of the nation's top ports for general cargo tonnage and container traffic, with terminals like Seagirt and Dundalk serving various commodities, including autos, containers, and construction equipment. Additionally, the port serves as a departure point for cruises to the Caribbean and other destinations.
Cargo and terminals
Key commodities:
The port handles a wide variety of goods, but is particularly known for being the No. 1 U.S. port for autos and other imported motorized vehicles. It also leads the nation in handling roll-on/roll-off cargo and imported forest products. Other important cargo includes containers, coal, and project cargo
Years ago I was told by a friend who worked on behalf of the states in their suit against tobacco companies that the presiding judge refused to let into evidence or allow a counter-claim for the billions of dollars the states had collected in cigarette taxes over the years. She wasn’t upset by the ruling, because she was on the states’ legal team, but did allow as how perhaps the companies had a fair argument. I expect the same result in these current cases, but perhaps, if it’s not loaded with justices like Mr. Killough by then, fairness will prevail.
