Has New York Forgotten?

As the 2025 elections are on the minds of many. Here is a three-part review of what has happened in key blue states and what can be done with the 2026 midterms, less than one year from now.

The first focuses on New York’s Mayoral race. It will conclude on an action plan for those who believe in God, America, family, culture of life, and other God-given values to hold the line and bring about God's kingdom on earth.

I guess my recent letter to New Yorkers was not met with tentative listeners. Rather, it has been the opposite.

New York has gone through a cycle of bad times in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s,10s, and let’s just add now the 2020s. It has been the city that has given those looking for better opportunities a glimpse of hope, despite settling in a concrete jungle with pride and determination. New York will soon be a thing of the past.

It felt like yesterday that New York was rocked by an attack in 2001 that had shaken the city to its core, yet it bounced back. Now, New Yorkers, particularly voters who have lived in the city for less than five years, have elected a Marxist Socialist and practicing Muslim. Sadly, the calls to deport saw little to no action.

Zohran Mamandi was elected Mayor of the Big Appel, which will become a breeding ground for a third-world country that Islam has dreamed of doing to Europe, and now setting their eyes on Western Civilization. Mamandi is just the beginning.  

Mamandi promised New Yorkers on the campaign trail about free this and that, while also planning to implement Islam. This is bad news for a third of the Catholic population in the now Red Apple. St. Thomas Aquinas reminds us, "He (Mohammed) seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men.” St. Juan de Ribera also reminds us that Islam remains, “an impious, blasphemous, vicious cult, an innovation of the devil, and the direct way into the fires of hell. It does not even merit the name of being called a religion.”

New York is going to change drastically. Already, police officers are leaving. Even those who lived in New York are now fleeing. Let’s hope that those who elected Mamandi don’t repeat it if moving south of the Potomac.

Pray for New York. Pray for the bravery of those staying to fight for the soul of their city.
