As Dream Of Home Ownership Fades, Young Voters Turn To Socialism
Socialism is on the rise in America. With Zohran Mamdani leading in the polls for Mayor of New York City, the leftward trend among under 40-year-old voters is undeniable.
More than half of all under forty year old voters —53% — would be like to see a “democratic socialist” as the next president according to a Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,201 U.S. Likely Voters ages 18 to 39, conducted on August 26-27, 2025.
And 76% said they “somewhat” or “strongly” agree that “major Industries like health care, energy, and big tech should be nationalized to give more control and equity to the people.”
Driving this dangerous trend is economic frustration and pessimism about the prospects of home ownership among young voters.
The high interest rates the Fed is artificially maintaining is extinguishing the dream of home ownership for young voters and driving them to socialism. And they are embracing increasingly radical policies in their frustration.
The median price of a home is now $415,000 according to the National Association of Realtors.
While President Trump has been quick to identify this problem, his demands for lower interest rates have yet to resonate with the gray heads in whose hands the decision rests.
But there are important steps the president and Congress can take to increase the inventory of homes for sale and to lower their price.
First among these is to relieve the burden of high capital gains taxes that freezes the inventory of dwellings and drives up their price. Federal action to exempt single family homes from capital gains taxes, or at least, to declare a “holiday” suspending these taxes for a period of several years, would unleash massive new numbers of affordable homes onto the market.
The President and Congress can also act to cap the interest rates credit card companies can charge consumers. Particularly when late payments of defaults threaten, credit card companies routinely are charging more than 20 percent interest and some have gone even higher.
Usury laws are ineffective because of inter-state banking that the lenders use to evade them.
In the campaign, Trump called for a cap of ten percent on credit card interest rates. A study by Vanderbilt University released last month suggests that a such a cap save Americans $100 billion in annual interest costs.
The study found that “banks and credit card companies would be able to withstand a national cap of 15 percent” if the banks continued to offer rewards and perks like points and airport lounge access. “If interest rates were capped at 10%, the business model gets more difficult,” the study found but said that “most lenders could still make money off most card customers.”
Socialist politicians like Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders have introduced a bill in Congress that would match Trump’s campaign proposal of capping interest rates at 10%.
Unless we act to relieve the financial strains on young families, we risk reaping the socialist whirlwind.

Sending In The National Guard To Cities Is Playing With Fire
While President Trump is getting well deserved plaudits for sending in the National Guard to help police the streets in Washington DC, we need to realize that this is a high risk strategy. These brave men and women in the National Guard are not trained cops and, when confronted with fraught and dangerous urban problems, there is a significant risk of over-reaction.
We do not want another George Floyd or Rodney King situation on our hands.
And there is a much better way to control urban crime. The problem stems from overly lenient left-wing policies that have crippled urban police departments and tied their hands.
No cash bail policies have proliferated and discouraged police who are reluctant to make arrests when the suspects are released even before the bookings are processed.
DOT Secretary Sean Duffy has shown the way to end such crazy policies. This year, criticizing New York City’s subway system, he threatened to withhold federal funds until the MTA does more to keep the subways safe.
The Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded $2.9 billion in Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants to over 1,600 communities from FY22-FY24, and approximately $1.5 billion in May 2025 for city buses.
Duffy should demand the end of no cash bail and other left-wing policies as a pre-condition of the federal grants.
We don’t need to run the political and social risks of sending National Guard troops to do urban policing. Why take the political risk of incidents of violence that can and would be exploited by the left to promote its narrative of federal overreach and Trumpian dictatorship?
Now, as Trump considers using the national guard to police the streets of Baltimore, Chicago, and New York, let’s not give the left fuel for its fire. Use cutoffs of federal aid to make urban policing more effective.

Mamdani Can Be Beaten
The most recent poll by Gotham Polling shows that Mamdani’s negative ratings are rising but that his vote share is not yet dropping.
Mamdani still wins 42 percent of the vote, leading the field though his negative ratings have almost doubled from the high thirties to 47 percent, the exact same level as his positives.
As voters learn the truth about Mamdani, they come to see him negatively but still vote for him because there is nobody else.
Andrew Cuomo is stuck at 23 percent and going nowhere according to the Gotham poll. Adams remains mired at a paltry 9 percent of the vote. The Republican, Curtis Silwa gets 17 percent as his partisan identification continues to hold him down.
But Mamdani is not a done deal.
Cuomo can’t move up. His negatives are too strong and neither can Adams. But Silwa can move up. Only his party is holding him back and, given the negatives on the other three candidates, being a Republican shouldn’t be fatal.
We have to give the race time to unfold. Mamdani’s negatives are going to keep rising and voters will get increasingly frustrated by the lack of alternative choices facing them.
Cuomo’s culpability in the genocide of 6,000 elderly New Yorkers, forced into nursing homes filled with highly contagious COVID patients during the pandemic makes him unelectable. New Yorkers will also strongly dislike having to pay half a million in damages for the governor’s sexual philandering while in office.
Adams, with sky high negatives after four years in office, shows no sign of rising even above ten percent of the vote.
So who’s left?
Curtis Silwa. Ultimately, New York Democrats need to forgive his Party. He’s pro-choice and no mouthpiece for Trump. His crime fighting credentials are impeccable. LaGuardia, Lindsay, and Giuliani governed well despite their party and so would Silwa.

Pilgrim’s Real Progress Through The Nation
Michael Wilkerson has updated our understanding of our ancestors in his new book Puritans, Pilgrims & Prophets: How the first generation of English settlers shaped the future of a nation (Why America Matters).
Even as we celebrate that we are a nation of immigrants, we tend to ignore the very first immigrants who came to our shores — the Puritans and Pilgrims.
Wilkerson discusses how they survived — the real miracle of the Thanksgiving holiday — and how their priorities and views — both civil and religious — laid the basis for our national ethics.
The Puritans have gotten a bad rap from the Salem Witch Trials but Wilkerson explains that the hysteria was just a small part of their heritage and, along the way, recounts the history of witchcraft in early America and England.
But his main contribution with this book is to explain how the Puritan ethic — and the Pilgrim’s history – is hardwired into our consciousness. A great read!

The Epstein White Elephant
Where there’s smoke…there’s smoke. The Democrats have metastasized the Epstein scandal into a national news peg to try to drown out the real news: The incredible economic performance of the Trump Administration.
With no factual basis whatever and just the tawdry record of Epstein, the Democrats have tried to convey the misimpression that Trump and Epstein were somehow connected. They want to public to assume that where there is smoke, there is fire. But, in Washington, there is only more smoke.
We cannot let the non-scandal drive media attention away from the very real fact that Trump has all but extinguished inflation, generated important job growth, turned the economy around, stopped illegal immigration, and deported over a million people (most voluntarily) who have no legal basis to call themselves Americans.
There is no scandal here. Just the media trying to create the impression of one. The answer is: Trump needs to resume his rallies. It is only through traveling to swing states and speaking before a hundred thousand people live and tens of millions more on line and on television that he can focus national attention on his achievements and go into the midterms with enough momentum to sweep both houses.
Trump cannot count on the facts to come to his defense. The Democrats have tried to replace facts with groundless speculation and fantasy.
There is no fire here, just smoke.

Mamdani Can Be Beaten
Zohran Mamdani is now suddenly vulnerable in his bid to become New York City’s first overtly socialist mayor. The latest polling from Harris X, a highly reliable firm, suggests a race essentially tied among Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Republican candidate Curtis Silwa.
According to Harris X, Mamdani (26 percent) is tied with Cuomo (23 percent) and Silwa (22 percent), all within the margin of error. Adams is at 13 percent and 15 percent of voters are undecided.
The Harris X poll sampled 585 likely general election voters in New York City on July 7-8.
The poll is notable in that it reflects big gains by GOP candidate Curtis Silwa and slippage among both Cuomo and the incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. While conventional wisdom holds that a Republican cannot win in New York City, the three-way fracturing of the Democratic vote among Mamdani, Cuomo, and Adams now makes a Silwa victory a possibility.
Cuomo largely lost the Democratic Primary to Mamdani because of voter anger at his genocidal policy during the Pandemic, forcing COVID patients out of hospitals and into nursing homes where their disease spread to 6,000 people causing their death. Adams has never done well in polling and had to drop out of the Democratic primary as a result. His failure to rally significant support from black voters, despite being only the second African-American mayor in New York’s history, shows his vulnerability. So Silwa has a chance.
In the publicly funded race, Silwa is not likely to face the financial problems that normally hobble Republican candidates. His background as a crime fighter, the founder of Guardian Angels, a nonprofit crime prevention organization, make him an attractive candidate in a race where crime is the leading issue.
On June 19, 1992, Silwa was kidnapped and shot by two gunmen after entering a stolen taxi in Manhattan. The taxi picked up Silwa near his home in the East Village, and a gunman hiding in the front passenger seat jumped up and fired several shots, hitting him in the groin and legs. The kidnapping was foiled when Silwa leaped from the front window of the moving cab and escaped. Silwa underwent surgery for internal injuries and leg wounds.
Federal prosecutors eventually charged John A. Gotti, the son of Gambino crime family leader John Gotti, with attempted murder claiming that Gotti was angered by remarks Silwa had made about Gotti’s father on his radio program. After three attempts to try him, on September 20, 2005, three separate juries could not agree to convict Gotti on any of the charges brought against him, and the charges were dropped. Jurors later told reporters they believed he had a role in Silwa’s shooting.[25] Prosecutors declined to re-try Gotti and dismissed the charges against him.
Mamdani has been dogged by charges of anti-semitism and recently was forced to “clarify” his remarks calling for a “global intifada against Jews.” Liz Benjamin, a spokesperson for the Pro-Cuomo PAC Fix the City, said “When you strip away his Hollywood tinsel, what you realize is that Mr. Mamdani has repeatedly embraced the rhetoric of hate. It is far past time for him to disavow his own calls to ‘globalize the intifada’, which many understand is an invitation to violence.”
Mamdani’s campaign has centered around socialist proposals such as free bus fares, no rent increases, legalized sex work, and a ban on immigration law enforcement in the City.
While the Democratic base can still rally to Mamdani, his antagonism of the Jewish vote makes it less likely.
Silwa can win.

Fiscal Hardliners Need To Understand Tariff Revenues
Those who are preparing to make a goal line stand in the name of deficit discipline against the President’s Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) need to understand that the budget game has changed dramatically. The idea that the BBB blows a hole in the budget leading to a cascade of borrowing is just plain wrong. These fiscal stalwarts need to get it through their thick heads that Trump’s trade tariffs are going to more than pay for any additional spending in the bill.
Already, this fiscal year, federal revenues from the new tariffs are running $100 billion above estimates. And most projections are that they will eventually yield $300 to $400 billion in extra revenues. And that figure does not take account of new trade deals and tariffs Trump will announce in the weeks to come.
With the EU, Canada, and Mexico likely to sign trade deals, the likelihood is that the president will have almost a trillion in new revenue coming in, Axios reports that “The $3 trillion in additional revenue [from Trump’s tariffs] more than wipes out that claim by CBO that the one Big Beautiful Bill will add $2.4 trillion to the national debt.”
Trump’s tariffs mean no deficit; no debt. Fiscal hawks are not fully counting tariff revenues because many of the key trade deals are still being negotiated, but they will come in. Of that we may be sure. Torsten Slok, chief economist for Apollo Global Management, put it best when he noted that “This [extending the reciprocal tariff deadline] would seem like a victory for the world and yet would produce $400 billion of annual revenue for U.S. taxpayers,” Slok wrote. “Trade partners will be happy with only 10% tariffs, and U.S. tax revenue will go up. Maybe the administration has outsmarted all of us.”
Indeed it has but fiscal hawks like Texas’ Congressman Chip Roy or Maryland’s Andy Harris have yet to factor in the new reality of tariff revenues into their gloomy assessment of the BBB. Before they cast aspersions on this wonderful bill, they need to update their fiscal conservatism and wake up and smell the roses.

How To Beat Zohran Mamdani
Socialism sells well, like the joy of sex. To beat it, we must focus public attention on the reciprocal — on the fear of pregnancy.
Free bus rides would mean a deterioration of service, longer and longer waits and dirty, filthy buses.
No rent hikes will cause tenants to have no heat, no repairs and, ultimately, no place to live.
Universal child care will deteriorate into babies sitting with no educational component.
Reduced police funding will lead to less protection.
Legal drugs and sex workers will make all of New York what 42nd street used to be at its worst.
Voters tend to pay attention to one thing at a time. Right now, the focus is on what Mamdani can do for us. We must now shift it to what he will do to us, what he will take away.
The crowded New York primary field and the seemingly remote chance of a Mamdani victory led to less focus on his candidacy and what it means. Now, to defeat him, we all need to get busy telling New Yorkers the rest of the story.
As we do so, we must raise Mamdani’s negative ratings to 50 and even 60 or 70 percent. And armed with his past statements and present positions, it will happen inevitably and quickly.
Voters tend to pay attention only to one candidate at a time. Now it must be Mamdani. By making the focus more pluralistic, we let him advance in the shadows of the other candidates’ negatives. He would not have won the primary but for our focus on Cuomo’s disgusting policy of putting badly ill and contagious people into nursing homes and on Eric Adams’ mediocrity and his failure to make New York a home for New Yorkers and not a sanctuary for criminals on the run.
But who should we vote for? Cuomo? Adams? Silwa? That question is for tomorrow. Today our focus must be on Mamdani and the threat he represents.
There will come a time to examine the merits of other candidates. Inevitably, that process will lead us to look closely at the only one with no negatives — Curtis Silwa — but that time has not yet come. For now, we must all concentrate on denouncing the myth of socialism and explaining what Mamdani will do to New York. Silwa’s only negative is the doubt about whether he can win. But let’s leave that for tomorrow’s discussion. Today we have a city to save.

Iran: A Huge Success Brilliantly Played By Trump
To do so, he played a double game: Negotiate with Iran and lead its rulers to believe they had flummoxed the United States once again — just as they had conned Obama and Biden. But, this time, it was Trump who played the fox, inducing Iran to low.
Ts guard while our ally, Israel, was preparing a potentially lethal blow.
By letting Israel do the heavy lifting, Trump has his cake and can eat it too. He can accomplish his goal of denying Iran the ultimate weapon while avoiding another “endless war.”
Trump and Israel both understand the basic math of the equation — Iran cannot continue to spread death and mayhem unless we allow it to sell its oil abroad. And through skillful use of sanctions (and secondary sanctions on anyone who doesn’t cooperate) we can stop Iranian oil sales.
Trump has skillfully imposed sanctions not just on Iran but on shipping companies that would carry its oil to China and its other allies. By going after the logistical framework of Iran’s oil trade — the tankers, the insurance companies, the storage facilities, and the export machinery, the U.S. effectively shut down Iranian oil exports — and its funding to spread terrorism — until Biden lifted the sanctions and let Iran get off the mat and back into the ring. Now, Trump needs to retrace his steps and shut Iran down again.
Bear in mind that Trump is targeting not only Iran but China too. It is a twofer. Ninety percent of Iran’s oil exports (2 million barrels per day after Biden lifted sanctions) goes to China. And China gets 16 percent of its oil imports from Iran.
Without nuclear weapons, and with its regional proxies defeated (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Syria), Iran is very close to being rendered militarily inert. And it gets closer with every Israeli attack.

Trump’s Unbelievable Economic Triumph
Here’s the data:
Because of Trump’s tariffs, foreign imports into the United States are down by an amazing 46% in the past month!!
According to an advance estimate from the Census Bureau, the goods trade gap plummeted 46 percent, to $87.6 billion, from the all-time high of $162.25 billion registered in March. This represented the smallest trade deficit for goods since December 2023.
- And there is no inflation. The annual US inflation rate is currently 2.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This figure represents the lowest level since February 2021.
- Or unemployment. The US Unemployment Rate is at 4.20%, compared to 4.20% last month and 3.90% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 5.68%.
What a triumph!
Despite the warnings of most mainstream economists, Trump has pulled it off! No real inflation or unemployment and a dramatic reversal of our historic balance of trade deficit!
And, it’s showing in the polls. Rasmussen Reports, a name many trust, dropped a bombshell. A full 50 percent of voters say America is finally on the right track. Yes, you read that right. Fifty percent. From ‘The Post Millennial’ reporting on Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell:
“In 20 years, the percent of people who say the U.S. is headed in the right direction has never been higher than today.”
Mark Mitchell himself, the pollster at Rasmussen, called it “Uncharted Territory.” He even said, “Never thought I would see it.” He’s been tracking this since 2006. So, he knows a thing or two.
