Zohran Mamdani promised a political revolution. What New York received in his first hours as mayor was a seminar in how slimy, two-faced doubletalk can face-plant when its reality is laid bare.

Mamdani was sworn in on January 1 with soaring rhetoric about affordability, equity, and transformation. It's been literally one week and the socialist imbecile has already humiliated himself multiple times in front of the entire nation. At this rate, he's going to make Bill DeBlasio look like Abraham f**king Lincoln.

By the time most New Yorkers had finished their leftover holiday bagels, the transit system he had promised to "liberate" from fares had already become more expensive. Subway and bus fares went up almost immediately. Yes, the increase had been scheduled earlier, but the optics were exquisite: the self-styled champion of free transit officially presiding over higher costs. Nothing captures the Mamdani brand better than promising "free" public transportation and delivering a fare hike before the echo of the oath of office has even faded.
