Hanif Yazdi, who works at the New York City Mayor’s Office, is the grandson of Ebrahim Yazdi: an Islamist and close associate of Ruhollah Khomeini who played a prominent role in the Islamic Revolution. Ebrahim Yazdi proposed the establishment of Quds Day in Iran and was involved in shaping the Islamic Republic’s relations with Hamas. Hanif collaborates with NIAC, an organization involved in advancing the interests of the Islamic Republic in the United States. These individuals do not appear out of the blue; they have a vision and a mission, and they are here for a reason. The Mayor’s Office in New York City is increasingly becoming a headquarters that consistently connects state and mosque.

🚨BREAKING: Gov. Kathy Hochul is now admitting the “climate” law she championed is HAMMERING New York’s economy and CRUSHING affordability for working families. She admitted the “green agenda” she backed is “not a sustainable path forward” and leaves working families behind. The 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act pushed by Eco Cultists keeps sending utility bills and gas prices soaring, slamming hardworking New Yorkers with thousands of dollars in new costs.

For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

Zohran Mamdani: "hate has no place in New York City". Inside Gracie Mansion right now: Mahmoud Kahlil who made Columbia University uninhabitable for Jews. Rama Mamdani who was thrilled by the horrors of October 7th and Zohran Mamdani who wouldn't mind globalizing the Intifada.

Zohran Mamdani's intern Arzoo Malik is asking for a Muslim jihadist uprising “How gangster are you? That's just my question. How much are you willing to do —To what extent of my personal material gains am I willing to sacrifice for this bigger noble cause — when you're doing a righteous cause, and when you're doing something for the sake of Allah here in The West, it will never ever be in vain. And the true believer does not fear that because the true believer knows that the Al-Ākhirah is a promise” For reference Al-Ākhirah is the Islamic belief in the afterlife She’s literally calling for an uprising and don’t worry about what happened before this Muslim afterlife is a promise…. “How gangster are you?” Very clearly means violence

The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death. Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device. Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force. I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects.
