New York City–Zohran Mamdani

Islamophobes In Republican Party Need To Be Condemned By Own Party Leadership!

Ronald Leave a comment

The Republican Party under President Donald Trump has become, sadly, a party of massive racism, nativism, and Islamophobia.

No major political party should promote such hateful causes, and for one to say it is alright to be any of these, needs to be repudiated by party leaders, particularly Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Among those in the Republican Party in Congress who are notable regarding their incendiary Islamophobia are:

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, running to be Governor of his state

Florida Congressman Randy Fine

Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles

Texas Congressman Brandon Gill

Texas Congressman Keith Self

Texas Congressman Chip Roy

The New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has come under vicious attack, because he is a Muslim, as has the Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi.

Also, in the House of Representatives, there has been vicious attacks over time against Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, because of their Muslim faith and criticisms of Israel.

And former Minnesota Congressman and presently Attorney General Keith Ellison has also had regular threats due to his faith.

A total of 42 Muslim Americans have been elected to office in the off year elections of 2025, over a total of nine states, including

New York
Virginia
Michigan
New Jersey
Washington
Maryland
Ohio
North Carolina
Pennsylvania

There are about 4.3 million people in the country who are Muslim, about 1.3 percent of the nation’s population.

While there certainly is a problem of Islamic terrorism, that does not mean that there should be discrimination and threats against Muslims who run for and serve in public office.

The Unstable, Unpredictable Behavior Of Donald Trump

Ronald 53 Comments

It is a well known reality that Donald Trump has unstable, unpredictable behavior.

Regarding Ukraine, Trump has been all over the map, so to speak, seemingly backing Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but now, suddenly, demanding Ukraine make major concessions to Russia, after nearly four years of war and sacrifice.

Therefore, Trump is behaving like Neville Chamberlain of Great Britian with Adolf Hitler at the Munich Conference over the future of Czechoslovakia in 1938, which led to World War II, and Chamberlain being labeled as an “appeaser”!

Regarding New York City and its new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, Trump termed Mamdani a “Communist”, and threatened cutoff of aid to the city, being totally hostile.

But suddenly, yesterday, there could not have been a more cordial, friendly meeting between the two men, with Trump wishing that Mamdani have a successful Mayoralty, truly mind blowing.

At the same time, Trump threatens execution of Democratic critics who warned military personnel against obeying illegal orders, as the military takes an oath to the US Constitution, not to any specific government leader, including the President.

This has led to death threata against these legislators.

So Trump’s behavior is unpredictable and dangerous, as there are signs that he has dementia, falls asleep in public, and makes irrational statements daily.

Magnificent Victory On All Fronts, And Repudiation Of Trump And MAGA!

American Democracy survives, as on Election Day 2025, there was a magnificent victory on all fronts by Democrats, everywhere one looked!

From the victory of a Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City Mayor, to a moderate centrist Democrat Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey elected as Governors, to a 2-1 victory for the Proposition of reapportionment of House seats in California, and even the retention of three state Supreme Court Justices in Pennsylvania, Democrats revived after the tragedy of the Presidential Election of 2024.

The Democratic Party showed its diversity, with a Muslim NYC Mayor, and Women Governors with military background in Virginia and New Jersey!

With all of the disillusionment the Democrats have gone through this past year since Donald Trump was elected, the reality remains that the Democratic Party IS “the party of the people”, of all backgrounds, and its diversity is its strength!

The Republican Party has become a party of sycophants to an authoritarian Fascist dictator wannabe, who is mentally deficient, mean spirited, cruel, heartless, and promoting an attack on democracy and the rule of law.

The Republicans are primarily a party of those who promote racism, nativism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and homophobia, allowing extremist white supremacist Christianity to become its central message, even though Donald Trump is, most certainly, totally irreligious!
