It’s been a week of ridiculous performances by NYC – Latest News
What’s one other ravenous BS artist?
Cynthia Nixon’s daughter Seph Mozes, who identifies as a man, is happening a starvation strike for Gaza — however actually for consideration.
“He and five of his compatriots are doing a hunger strike in Chicago … ,” a proud Nixon instructed Newsweek, including that her 28-year-old baby has no “illusions that he’s going to end the war, but I think he wants to do everything he can.”
To earn a advantage badge within the artwork of self-congratulations, apparently.

Maybe Nixon’s offspring had the misfortune of seeing the actress in mattress with Rosie O”Donnell within the third-season premiere of “And Just Like That.” Such a sight would put anybody off eating.

But it’s most likely more just like the well-known anti-drug PSA from the ’80s: “I learned it by watching you, Mom.”
Shortly after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, assault on Israel, Nixon — who ran an unsuccessful marketing campaign for New York governor in 2018 — boldly introduced she was becoming a member of lawmakers, together with present nutjob mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, in a five-day fast supporting ceasefire in Gaza.
Nixon, nonetheless, dedicated to only two days of the 5 — a full 48 hours of abstaining from her beloved cinnamon raisin bagels with lox. She is aware of sacrifice and solidarity.

It’s solely becoming that Nixon’s most up-to-date proclamation capped off a banner week of performative activism by New York City progressives in search of folk-hero standing.
One pol was arrested, one other cried and there have been many self-righteous tweets posted with the presumed expectation that they’ll finish up within the Smithsonian sooner or later.
It all kicked off final Saturday with the No Kings anti-Trump protest, which was a social mixer for Boomer hippies. Did it imply something? Like its predecessor the pink pussy hat marches, this was a collective tantrum in opposition to a duly-elected president. And possibly a guarantee that members would get of their 10,000 steps for the day.
Only days later, City Comptroller and Dem mayoral candidate Brad Lander desperately tried to revive his rotting corpse of a marketing campaign by getting arrested on digital camera — not the primary time.

In this occasion, he pathetically tangled with ICE officers after demanding to see a warrant for somebody being detained outdoors federal immigration courtroom. Clinging to the man’s shoulder, he made a clear provocation to the officers to cuff him. And they made his day.
Lander thought it will be a profile in braveness. But it produced a collection of unbelievable photographs that made him seem like the city drunk being hauled out of his native watering gap for getting handsy with a waitress. In one, his bulging eyes rolled back into his head, he resembles Rodney Dangerfield. No respect!
He was sprung by Gov. Kathy Hochul, who appears to solely go to New York City for picture ops. Who can overlook her using the subway to tout its security … on the identical day a lady was incinerated by an unlawful migrant on an F Train.

This time, our Democratic guv marched into the federal building and picked up Lander, who was launched with out costs. She then tweeted a picture of them defiantly strolling collectively, captioned with the state slogan “Excelsior” — Latin for “ever upward.” In Hochul-ese, it interprets to “empty political posturing.”
After his publicity stunt, Lander was greeted like a conquering hero by lefty loonies together with Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and absentee Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, who posted a picture of himself hugging the candidate and touting his “courage.”
Do these people know that we will’t even buy toothpaste on this metropolis with out buzzing a employee to unlock it? But hey, they acquired their picture op.

Our pols are severely misguided. They recurrently pledge to struggle in opposition to Trump moderately than combating for on a regular basis New Yorkers to have order and an inexpensive metropolis.
The rotten cherry on high was Mamdani — a political novice however a seasoned performer.
He tried to blunt a blossoming new antisemitic scandal, fueled by his use of the phrase “globalize the intifada” … by pivoting into his own victimhood.
“I get messages that say the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. I get threats on my life,” he mentioned, choking back tears.
Even the mere menace of political violence is an abomination, full stop. Just ask Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who had his home burned in an assault police mentioned was pushed by antisemitism. Or the households of the younger couple killed outdoors the Capital Jewish Museum in DC, allegedly by a man who mentioned, “I did it for Gaza.”
But if Mamdani goes to cry each time he hears or sees some nasty phrases, maybe being mayor of New York — which requires a firm hand and a thick conceal — just isn’t the job for him.
The Big Apple has enough actors and clowns. Let’s get some severe adults in right here to run issues.
