CHAOS: NYC's Radical Mayor RAIDS Pension Funds After Just 45 Days As Iran War Odds SURGE to 55%

New Yorkers are learning a brutal lesson in electoral consequences. Just 45 days into his administration, radical leftist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already plundering pension funds and hiking property taxes – proving once again that when Democrats campaign as moderates, they govern as socialists.

NYC's Socialist Nightmare Begins

Remember when Mamdani promised fiscal responsibility during his campaign? Patriots, that lie lasted about as long as a Biden press conference. The new mayor is now raiding the retirement savings of city workers – teachers, firefighters, police officers – to fund his progressive pet projects.

Property taxes? Through the roof. City services? Crumbling. And thousands of New Yorkers who pulled the lever for this radical are experiencing what we call "buyer's remorse." Too bad, folks. Elections have consequences, and New York City is getting exactly what it voted for.

This is what happens when you let socialist politicians who openly support defunding police and dismantling capitalism take control of America's largest city. The productive class pays while the political class plays.

Trump's Nuclear Renaissance Delivers

While blue cities implode under leftist mismanagement, President Trump's America First energy agenda is producing historic results. Energy Secretary Chris Wright just celebrated a genuine breakthrough: the first-ever airlift of a next-generation nuclear reactor.

Let that sink in – a nuclear reactor powerful enough to supply 5,000 homes, transported by a C-17 military aircraft. This is American innovation unleashed when government gets out of the way instead of strangling industry with Obama-era regulations.

Trump promised a nuclear renaissance during his campaign, and unlike the empty promises from the Biden regime about "green energy," this president actually delivers. Drill, baby, drill – and now, split atoms, baby, split atoms.

Iran Tensions Hit Critical Mass

On the international front, the situation with Iran has escalated dramatically. Polymarket betting odds now show a 55% chance of American military action against the terrorist regime before March 15 – that's more than doubled from just 24% two days ago.

Making matters more volatile, Russia has joined Iranian naval drills, creating the most dangerous Middle East powder keg since 1988. This is the direct result of the Biden administration's disastrous appeasement policies, which emboldened Tehran for four years while undermining our ally Israel.

President Trump inherited this mess, and unlike his predecessor, he won't be sending pallets of cash to the mullahs.

Colbert EXPOSED Running Election Interference

As if we needed more proof that mainstream media is nothing but a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, Stephen Colbert just got caught red-handed manipulating Texas primary coverage.

The late-night hack created what can only be described as a hoax to boost his preferred candidate while deliberately skirting equal time requirements for Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett. When his own parent company CBS refused to back his partisan schemes, Colbert turned on them too.

This is who these people are, folks. They lecture Americans about "democracy" while actively undermining fair elections. The legacy media's credibility isn't just damaged – it's completely destroyed.

Big Tech Faces Reckoning

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg is sweating through testimony in a landmark social media addiction trial in California. With six weeks of proceedings ahead, this case could fundamentally reshape how Big Tech operates – and how they've been allowed to manipulate and addict our children for profit.

Washington politicians from both parties have failed to address this crisis for years. Now a California jury might accomplish what Congress couldn't.

The question Americans should be asking: How much longer will we tolerate radical leftists destroying our cities, hostile regimes threatening our interests, and corrupt media manipulating our elections? The Trump administration is fighting back – but they need patriots engaged and informed.

Meanwhile Iran is probably laughing at our domestic chaos while they ramp up for conflict. We look weak and divided when we should be projecting strength.

This is why I moved my family out of NYC last year. The writing was on the wall that this radical agenda would destroy the city's finances.

My brother works for the city and he's been telling me for weeks that something fishy was going on with the pension fund meetings. Looks like his suspicions were right on target.

Same here - our union rep has been dodging questions about fund stability for the past month.

CHAOS is right! NYC voters made their bed, now they're lying in it.

How is this even legal? Shouldn't there be safeguards in place to prevent mayors from just grabbing pension money whenever they want?

What's the connection between the pension raids and Iran war odds hitting 55%? Are they preparing for some kind of economic fallout?

This is what happens when you elect someone based on identity politics instead of actual fiscal responsibility and leadership experience.

This is exactly what we warned about when this radical got elected. 45 days and he's already pillaging hard-working New Yorkers' retirement funds!

I've been paying into that pension for 32 years and now this clown thinks he can just raid it? Absolutely disgusting.
