Rama’s Middle East journey: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: NYC first girl Rama Duwaji’s upcoming journey to Syria and Lebanon with out an NYPD escort.
Mayor Mamdani stated that a miscommunication led his press people to say Rama Duwaji would get a security element on her journey to Syria and Lebanon (“Won’t fly,” Aug. 13).
I’m sorry, however I don’t buy that — simply a bunch of lies, like all the time.
I feel Mamdani himself needed the NYPD to go along with her, however when he caught a lot of flack about it, he backed down.
I’m glad City Hall acquired a harsh response from the NYPD.
This mayor needs to do no matter he pleases, however let’s hope there’s people on the market that may stop him.

Syria and Lebanon have been designated as “do not travel” international locations by the US authorities.
Why would a “private citizen” be escorted by police officers who may very well be killed in international locations the place they shouldn’t be?

No matter how sturdy an NYPD security element the mayor’s Jew-hating and America-hating spouse would have introduced along with her to Syria and Lebanon, it’s not far-fetched to suppose that these officers may very well be overwhelmed by terrorists, and finally wind up as hostages in Iranian palms, the place they may very well be tortured and used as pawns in negotiations with President Trump to finish the battle.
She doesn’t need a NYPD security element; her pals in Hamas and Hezbollah will undoubtedly guarantee her security.

The mayor’s spokesperson’s brazen assumption that the NYPD would accompany his spouse to Syria and Lebanon is yet one more instance of Mamdani’s dictatorship mindset.
God forbid somebody of his ilk will get to the Oval Office.
Then the US navy can be on the whim of the president, as it’s on the whim of all dictators.

The Issue: Left-wing candidate Francesca Hong’s loss in Wisconsin Democrats gubernatorial main.
Democratic voters in Wisconsin lastly got here to their senses, and a late surge turned the tide within the gubernatorial main race (“Wisconsin Was Just One Battle,” Editorial, Aug. 13).
Instead of permitting a totally avowed communist to run for governor, they elevated a barely higher socialist to the candidates’ perch.
True, Francesca Hong hated America, Thanksgiving and nearly all national holidays.
She was anti-Israel and anti-anything slanted to the true American beliefs that made our nation great.
She is feeling a bit low this week, however I wager even the native left-wing media is respiration a sigh of reduction.

Wisconsin loon Francesca Hong’s now-deleted tweet calling to cancel Thanksgiving could have crossed the pink line for a DSA candidate within the Democratic Party.
It was so lethal that even socialist Jew-bashing defenders of the working class like Rep. Alexandria “Met Gala” Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie “Three Homes” Sanders wouldn’t soar on one of their personal planes or lounge in first-class on a industrial airliner to marketing campaign for her.
Well, hooray for Thanksgiving.
Our completely happy household day to take pleasure in turkey could have saved Wisconsin from electing one.
