On the Election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City
Dear Patriots,
As the dust settles from last night’s election, we recognize a hard truth: New York City has chosen Zohran Mamdani, a radical socialist whose platform rejects the values of law, order, and freedom that built this city. This outcome is deeply disappointing, but we refuse to see it as a defeat.
Over the past weeks and months, the #WalkAway Campaign and our incredible community of patriots have poured our hearts into this fight. We spoke truth in the face of hostility. We rallied in the streets. We reached voters who had never heard another perspective. And in doing so, we planted seeds of courage and awareness that will continue to grow long after this election.
Our mission has never been about one candidate or one result; it’s about waking America up. It’s about empowering every citizen to think for themselves, reject extremism, and reclaim their voice.
So while New York may have taken a step in the wrong direction last night, we know the story isn’t over. This movement is alive. The spirit of freedom is burning brighter than ever. And we are more determined than ever to fight for truth, unity, and the American values we hold dear.
To everyone who stood beside us who volunteered, donated, prayed, and spoke up, thank you. You’ve proven that bravery and conviction still exist in this country.
This is not the end. This is the wake-up call.
And we will answer it.
With gratitude and resolve,
Brandon Straka
Founder, #WalkAway Campaign
The left has been working for years on the world we live in now, and all around us we can see the fruit of their labors: dirty, dangerous cities, homeless encampments, cannabis stores, rising crime, and so much more. New York’s WABC on Friday gave us another reason to thank our leftist bureaucrats and elected officials as it told a harrowing story: “A man is under arrest on Friday in a gruesome homicide on Long Island after his wife was found dead and suffering from facial burns — covered with a chemical substance.”
Why would the horrific prospect of a husband murdering his wife be the result of the left’s policies? Because this was an attempted Islamic honor killing, that is, a killing carried out in accord with the teachings of the religion that the left insists is peaceful and tolerant, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia,” and professional and possibly even personal ruin.
In Herricks, Long Island, “authorities say Aleena Asif, 46, was suffocated with a cyanide-like compound by her estranged husband, who was stalking her after she demanded a divorce.” And now “her husband, 53-year-old Asif Qureshi, was arraigned on second degree murder charges on Friday morning and held without bail as a flight risk. Prosecutors said they will ask a grand jury to indict him on first degree murder charges.”
Yates County, New York saw a bad buggy wreck yesterday afternoon, leaving three seriously injured and a horse dead. But these (in all likelihood) weren’t Amish victims.
Yates County is home to an Old Order Mennonite population. Old Order Mennonites typically use horse-drawn vehicles similar to those of the Amish. It’s a reminder that not only the Amish are exposed to horse-drawn accident danger on the roads. More details from WHAM ABC News:
Yates County Sheriff deputies responded to Six Corners Road in Barrington just before 2:35 p.m. for a crash involving a car and a horse and buggy. An investigation found that a woman was traveling in the southbound lane of Six Corners Road when her car struck the buggy from behind, ejecting its occupants and causing extensive damage to both vehicles....
Nadler, 78, has been considered one of the leading liberal voices in Congress, saying that he is responding to the call for generational change that has recently been dividing his party.
He recently told The New York Times of his plans, provided that they didn’t reveal them until Monday. He said that he hesitated to step aside at this time, while, in his view, President Donald Trump stands as a threat to the foundations of democracy, according to The Times. But he told them that he believes it is time for the changing of the guard.
“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

Ian McIntosh, Executive Director Not Dead Yet:
To the best of my knowledge, one of the last tasks Founder, President and CEO of Not Dead Yet (NDY), Diane Coleman completed, days before her sudden passing last November, was to watch Reid Davenport’s Life After.
Diane intended to write a fulsome review. And although she could not publish her thoughts in time, she left one of sorts, complete in its brevity, in an email to the film’s creators, saying that Life After is: “a wonderful film”.
In this arena and in our community, there’s no higher praise. As Diane’s successor, serving as the Executive Director of NDY, and as a self-confessed cinephile, having seen the documentary several times now, I can confirm that like everything else Diane weighed in on: Of course, she’s right. Life After is a wonderful film for too many reasons to expand upon here and now.
But Multimedia Films, the production house for Life After, notes on its website a synopsis of the documentary, which in part reads:
New York voters also overwhelmingly support it. A recent YouGov survey found that 72% back the measure, including 65% of Catholics.
But the bill is a fast-rolling nightmare for the disabled, elderly, and the culture as a whole. Much support for physician-assisted suicide is well-intended. But crossing the bright red line from preserving life to intentionally hastening death has created moral catastrophes in countries that have made the move. New York should heed these examples.
