Andrew Cuomo conceded in the Democrat primary and now an Islamic socialist is probably going to win the mayoral election in New York City. 

Who expected this back in 2001? Anyone? Bueller?

Insurrection? City Official in LA County Calls for Street Gangs to Rise Up Against ICE

Q: can you say she created this video and asked the street gangs to attack ICE in her role as vice mayor if she did this on X? The article states that the FBI visited her home and they are apparently investigating her, but it isn't clear if they are investigating her as a simply a citizen or as a government official.

Iranians in the US here illegally are being arrested, hopefully to prevent any terrorism here. I wonder if they got pushed to the top of the list?

Mamdani is a point in favor of my thesis that Leftists and Islamist are fellow travelers.

They impeached a President for less.

Frankly I am more worried about Chinese immigrants both legal and illegal.

Mark Steyn used to be a self-declared “happy warrior“. These days, his perpetual doom and gloom is getting a little tiresome, in my opinion.

I used to listen to Levin now and then, a long time ago.  His top-of-the-lungs outrage got very tiresome very quickly, and he had none of the instinct for le mot juste that made Mark Steyn a pleasure to listen to.

I'm glad Levin is around to give air and airtime to a point of view, but I do wish that that point of view had a more listenable spokesperson.

I think so

It sounds like he's tired of the same old, same old of politics and war. And I can appreciate that. 3 years of Ukraine and being no closer to a resolution makes for exhaustion.

I cannot understand how Mamdani did so well in the primary.  Cuomo, repulsive though he is, was clearly the least-worst candidate.  

It is also shocking that city councilmember Shahana Hanif, who is a real soul-sister to Mamdani, not only won against her primary opponent, but has no Republican candidate opposing her in the general election.  The "Republican Party" in NYC would have to mightily improve in order to begin to qualify as a sick joke.

I think you need to start thinking about getting out of New Yorkistan. It will be bad enough for Jews shortly after that jerk becomes mayor (G-d forbid), and then, welcome to Caracas. 

It will make the old movies that made NYC look bad look good.

The wife and I are pivoting sadly towards that conclusion.  The question is, where? Returning to our city of origin, or its suburbs, is a "no"; the cities/states surrounding NYC are little better if at all.  Suggestions, with reasons, would be welcome.

It does seem like many big cities, especially on the coasts, are heading down like NYC. I'm far enough away from Boston, and not having much to do around here is fine with me.

Again---the problem is not deciding to leave, but deciding where to go; moving away is easy if you have some notion of what you're moving to

So, again---destination suggestions are welcomed.

What would you require? Where do your interests generally lie when it comes to what you are interested in for a location?

Unless you like being away from a city, I don't have suggestions. I prefer deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and even the occasional bear, to most people. They basically leave us alone.

Although our next-door neighbors are nice. Our dogs and their dog bark at each other, and no one minds.

Theatre? Variety of restaurant choices? High society? Particular sports? Outdoor sports? Large Jewish community? 6' of snow in the winter?
