Wow, that's a valid source, the NYC right-wing talk radio shows.

I've listened to them. I found them to be humorous.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky, and US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) all have a few things in common.

~They talk to their people, not at their people.

~All four have the same message for their people and they demonstrate it: "I'm on your side."

~These four are not holograms or empty suits.

You will see similarities in President Sheinbaum's and Mayor Mamdani's official websites about what they are doing every day-- big or small-- for their constituents.

When UNGA convenes in Sep 2026, two months before the epochal Tuesday 3 Nov mid-term election, you can bet Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum and Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky, two Ashkenazi Jews, will be delighted to meet the Muslim Mayor of the Big Apple, a city considered by many to be the "Capital of the World" because of Wall Street, Broadway, Lincoln Center, Greenwich Village, the Bronx Bombers, the Ed Sullivan Theater, and the UN.

Meanwhile the loathsome Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu may have to send President Isaac Herzog in his place to bleat his lies at the UN because an NYPD ESU SWAT team with an INTERPOL Red Notice may be waiting for him and his Shin Bet entourage at JFKIA.

Lots of nice Irishmen in the NYPD ESU; and if anybody knows anything about historic oppression, it's the Irish.

And the IDF made life miserable for Irish peacekeepers deployed to UNIFIL.

Erin go Bragh!

As I said, I've listened, and I find them humorous.

Especially those who call in and just seem to want to hear themselves complaining on the air.
