Jihadi Zohran Mamdani Funnels Big Money to Radical Allies Plotting Control of City Hall: ‘Seize State Power’
ISI/DI: News reports from October 2025 indicate that New York City mayoral candidate
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign has made significant payments to the NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), his political organization, which has drawn criticism from opponents. The specific phrase “Jihadi Zohran Mamdani” is a pejorative used by critics and is not a factual description or part of his name.
Key Details
- Campaign Funds: Campaign finance records show that Mamdani’s campaign recently made a payment of over $28,000 to the NYC-DSA chapter, with total payments exceeding $33,000 since early 2025;
- Purpose: The payments were listed for purposes such as “Texting” and “Fundraising Emails,” indicating the DSA’s involvement in a get-out-the-vote effort and campaign operations;
- “Seize State Power”: The controversy stems from a recorded DSA meeting where a leader stated that Mamdani’s candidacy is positioned to help the party “seize state power,” which opponents interpret as a plot to take control of City Hall and implement a radical agenda;
- Political Affiliation: Mamdani is a self-identified democratic socialist and a member of the DSA;
- Criticism: Critics, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, have labeled the group as “radical” and accused Mamdani of being a “communist”;
- Mamdani’s Response: Mamdani has emphasized that he is a democratic socialist, not a communist, and has pushed back against these labels and threats from opponents like President Trump.
These reports highlight the ongoing controversy surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s campaign financing and his affiliation with the NYC-DSA as the November 2025 mayoral election approaches.
On Oct. 7 Anniversary, Mamdani Accuses Jewish State of “Genocidal War”
ISI/DI: On the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani accused the Israeli government of launching a “genocidal war” in Gaza.
In a statement released on October 7, 2025, Mamdani described the original Hamas attack as a “horrific war crime” and mourned the victims and hostages. However, he then stated that in the aftermath, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government “launched a genocidal war” with a death toll that “now far exceeds 67,000”. He further criticized the U.S. government for being “complicit” and called for an end to the “occupation and apartheid”.
Mamdani’s statement drew sharp criticism, including a rebuke from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which accused him of “acting as a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda”. His comments have been a focal point in the New York City mayoral race, highlighting divergent views on the conflict within the city’s diverse population.
Poll: Elise Stefanik Surges in New York After Kathy Hochul Endorses Jihadi Mamdani
ISI/DI: A recent poll conducted in New York by Landon Wall for the Republican side indicates that Representative Elise Stefanik gains ground on Governor Kathy Hochul in a hypothetical 2026 gubernatorial matchup, with Hochul’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani cited as a significant factor in her vulnerability among independent voters
Key points from the poll and related reporting:
- The Poll Results: The survey, dated October 6, 2025, shows that while Hochul initially leads Stefanik 48 percent – 43 percent, that lead disappears after voters are informed of both candidates’ records, with Stefanik taking a narrow lead, 46.4 percent – 45.9 percent. Among independent voters, Stefanik expands her lead from 5 points to 12 points;
- Mamdani Endorsement Impact: The poll memo specifically mentions that Hochul’s endorsement of the “politically toxic” Zohran Mamdani “collapses support among Independents,” with 47 percent of Independents saying a Mamdani victory would make them less likely to vote for Democrats in 2026;
- “Jihadi” Label: The term “jihadi” in the user’s prompt appears to be a pejorative used by some Republican critics of Mamdani, who has faced a barrage of Islamophobic attacks. Some Republicans, like Rep. Randy Fine and NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, have called him a “Muslim terrorist” or “known jihadist terrorist,” a characterization that is part of the political rhetoric surrounding him, not a verified fact;
- Hochul’s Rationale: Governor Hochul did endorse Mamdani for Mayor of New York City, acknowledging that they have some disagreements but share common goals on issues like affordability and working together against those who “tear us apart”;
- Stefanik’s Reaction: Stefanik has seized upon the endorsement as evidence of Hochul’s weakness and a sign the Governor is moving too far left to appease her party’s base.
The poll indicates a potential surge for Stefanik’s prospects in a possible 2026 race and links it directly to the negative perception among some voters, particularly independents, of Hochul’s endorsement of Mamdani.
Zohran Mamdani Wants to Strip Power From NYPD Commissioner — Revoking Final Say on Officer Discipline
ISI/DI: New York City mayoral candidate and State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has proposed to strip the Police Commissioner of the final say on officer discipline and transfer that authority to the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB). This proposal is a core component of his mayoral campaign platform and has not yet been enacted into law.
Details of the Proposal
- Shift in Authority: Under the current system, the CCRB investigates complaints and makes recommendations to the NYPD Commissioner, who has the final authority to determine the disciplinary outcome. Mamdani’s plan would make the CCRB’s recommendations the final voice on accountability for serious disciplinary matters, removing the Commissioner’s ability to overrule them;
- Goal: Mamdani argues this change would empower the CCRB, which he claims is currently a broken institution because its findings are often ignored by the Commissioner. He aims to increase transparency, rebuild public trust, and give communities a greater voice in policing decisions;
- Implementation: Implementing this change would be a complex and lengthy process, likely requiring an amendment to the New York City Charter, which would have to be approved by public referendum;
- Reaction: The proposal has met with fierce blowback from police unions, including the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA). Critics argue that empowering the “anti-police activists” on the CCRB would result in biased hearings, destroy police morale, and lead to a mass exodus of officers from the department. They also contend it would undermine police leadership and weaken public safety.
Current Status
As of October 2025, the proposal is a policy goal espoused by Mamdani, who is running for mayor, not current law. Its fate is contingent on the outcome of the November mayoral election and the subsequent political and legislative process required to amend the city charter and navigate potential legal challenges from police unions.

Broader Usage

A Story From A Poem
Two men were walking together one morning, making their way down the path that led to a beautiful lake and all sorts of wildlife …… deer, elk, moose, beaver …… a coyote or two, and even a couple of skunks.
Then, one man stopped abruptly, turned, and asked the other man, “What do you think is the worst thing that has happened to our country?” The other man replied, “It has to be man’s inhumanity to man.”
The other man turned and looked at him, asking, “And, what do you think is the worst thing that has happened to our country?” Without missing a beat, the man replied, “Why, I think it is just the opposite of what you said.”
“Man’s inhumanity to man” refers to the cruelty, violence, and injustice inflicted by one person or group upon another, often stemming from a lack of empathy and leading to suffering and mourning. While the phrase is used in a broader rhetorical context, it originates from Robert Burns’s 1784 poem, “Man Was Made to Mourn.”
The full stanza where the line appears is:
Many and sharp the num’rous ills,
Inwoven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves,
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And man, whose heav’n-erected face
The smiles of love adorn, —
Man’s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!”
The phrase is widely used today to describe acts of cruelty, barbarity, or a lack of compassion shown by human beings toward one another, in contexts ranging from war and genocide to everyday injustices.
In a simpler format, it reflects the treatment of one person to another. Am I my brother’s keeper? Do …… can …… I put others before self? This is obviously, Christian thinking. It is NOT how a Muslim thinks. They are taught in the madrassas as well as at home, that to give your life for Allah is Devine and should be the goal of every Muslim. And, should you give your life in battle, that is the utmost a Muslim can do. This is far different from the thinking of most other peoples.
Where do we stand as Americans? Where do we stand as Christians?
Some years ago, a saw a bumper sticker that said, “America is apathetic, but who cares?”
I hope this is not who we are.
