New York City would smell worse than it does if it weren’t so cold . .

By Daniel Greenfield - February 9, 2026

After urging New Yorkers to abandon their individualism for his “warmth of collectivism”, 16 homeless people are dead because of Mamdani’s progressive policy of letting them stay out in the cold, instead of escorting them to homeless shelters, but the survivors of his Gulag Games did get a consolation prize in the form of red capes with ‘Mayor Mamdani’ emblazoned on them that are thinner than his resume. But the same cold killing the homeless is also keeping the trash that has been piling up since Jan 24 from rotting so it doesn’t smell as bad as his policies.

The city hasn’t had trash pickup for a third of Mamdani’s term. It’s also had a homeless death against every other day he’s been in office. Zohran Mamdani did promise to transform New York City, but few expected him to make it a frozen wasteland full of corpses and trash in one month.

Even by Communist standards, this is fast work: somewhere Mao is kvelling and shouting up, “Zohran, quick start killing sparrows” and Pol Pot is urging him to go after anyone in glasses.

But really how did the Zombie Democrats of Manhattan think that ‘Take Your Muslim Marxist Nepo Baby to Work Day’ was gonna end? Mamdani has less executive experience than one of those Mexican small town dog mayors. After a career of trying to make rap videos for social media, he spent 5 years in the State Assembly where he made more videos for social media.

Hailed as historic for being the first member of the religion that flew planes into the World Trade Center to run the city after winning an election against a disgraced politician who killed off most of his own voting base, no one in the media or the party asked if Mamdani could do the job.

Or, considering his poor employment record which would disqualify him from most careers, any job. Any job with more responsibility than talking about Marxism on social media podcasts.

Now he’s up against actual problems, a snowstorm, a cold spell and resource allocation and his 5 years in the State Assembly sitting on various useless committees with no responsibility, no power and no actual say in anything poorly prepared this precious baby mayor for the real world challenge of running one of the largest cities in the world where problems have to be solved.

Mamdani ran for office promising to make the buses free, but he can’t even pick up the trash.

Even before this Mamdani was . . .
