More from the cited article ...
... In a ruling on Tuesday described by local officials as "historic", a federal court in Detroit paved the way toward dismissing a lawsuit challenging Hamtramck's policy prohibiting LGBTQ+ pride flags from being flown on public property " a decision hailed as a "complete victory" by the city's leadership, which defended the policy as a means of maintaining political neutrality and avoiding societal division. Judge David Lawson of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled that Hamtramck's 2023 policy on flag displays on city-owned property is "neutral" and "does not violate the First Amendment", which protects free speech. He explained in his July 15 ruling that municipal flagpoles are not public forums for free expression, but platforms for government speech. ...

... The good news is that Hamtramck will soon be able to elect a new mayor. The bad news is that Mayor Amer Ghalib been tapped by his buddy, President Donald Trump, to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Kuwait. Ghalib, mayor of Hamtramck since 2022, has shown little ability to adequately represent the interests of his own community. Now, if he's confirmed by the U.S. Senate, the soon-to-be former mayor will represent even more Americans, on an international stage. ...

#6: Islamophobia is not working against Zohran Mamdani, like it did not work in London which has a successful Muslim mayor named Sadiq Khan. Zohran Mamdani is out-fundraising his NYC mayoral opponents and Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo is 20 points behind him in the polls. Cuomo, a so-caled 'Democrat,' appeared on Faux News to smear poor Zohran. This Benedict Arnold of the Democratic Party is so desperate that he wants Dotard Trumpf's help against Zohran. Meanwhile, thousands of New Yorkers happily participated in a political scavenger hunt organized by Mamdani's staff.
