Two Muslims tried to murder a bunch of people this week because, well, they exist wrong in the eyes of many Muslims and that was enough for them. The Mayor of New York gave a statement on the attack that spent more time whining about the people who were simply speaking – literally using words – than criticizing the Mayor’s ideological brothers who tried to murder them. Life is about priorities and Democrats show you theirs regularly. Believe them.
Zohran Mamdani said, “This was a vile protest, rooted in white supremacy, entitled 'stop the Islamic takeover of New York City.'” He then whined that “anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me...”
Honestly, who cares? You want to be Mayor, you need to put on your big boy pants and do the job. I don’t care that you’re Muslim. In fact, I’m sick of hearing about it.
I lived for nearly 6 years in Dearborn, Michigan, in the 90s and didn’t hear as much whining about “Islamophobia” as I hear on a daily basis in 2026.
The country is not infested with “Islamophobia,” it’s overrun with wanna be victims looking for any excuse to distract from their failures, exert power over others, or simply cash in on the progressive leftist fetish of victimhood.
Honestly, we’re all very sick of hearing about it.
If your first instinct upon hearing someone talk about the very real and perverse practices of some of the members of your faith is to not condemn child brides or grooming gangs, but ascribe hatred as their motive for such statements, we have very little choice but to assume you’re cool with those things.
As a Catholic, you might want to have a condemn-off with me about how horrible the church was in its child molestation scandal, and how there are probably a lot of people burning in hell (and more who should be in prison). I’ll play that game and I may well win. Why is the response about grooming gangs to cry Islamophobia? It’s pretty easy to slam people, any people, doing bad things…if you believe they’ve done bad things.
If the topic of terrorism comes up, people like Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) will whine that “white men” are the biggest threat to just about everything. She’s not stupid; she’s evil and knows exactly what she’s doing. She won’t be challenged on it – she won’t go within a football field of any reporter who’d ask a serious follow-up question or mention the FBI statistics about perpetrators of violent crimes like murder as a percentage of the population – so she can just toss the bomb and walk away, the subject having been confused and distracted.
There is more discussion about the sins of white people hundreds or thousands of years ago than there is about the crimes of people alive today. Well, no one alive today participated in the Crusades or slavery, on any side of those things. But every discussion about anything current that doesn’t involve someone whiter than Elizabeth Warren is, well, shut down. If Abby Phillip were paid a dollar for every time she interrupted the lone conservative on her show to prevent them from making a relevant point about anything unfavorable to even some white person with a tan, she could buy and sell Elon Musk.
The left doesn’t want to hear it. That’s how a discussion of a terrorist attack can be morphed into a discussion of tweets from Republican Members of Congress no one has ever heard of.
I’ll care as much about some tweet the left has deemed “mean” or “racist” as some random, unknown elected Republican sent out, the second leftists address the genuine lies, racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism Democrat leadership, pundits and “journalists” spew daily. Until then, I don’t think anyone is interested in your feelings.
The United States is the most amazing country to have ever existed, and we’ve been infested by the cancer of progressivism that is rotting us from the inside out. Iran, or any of our other enemies, will ever be able to do as much damage as Democrats have. Our enemies don’t have to plot against us; they just have to wait – Democrats will do their work for them because Democrats are them.
They are free to leave – to the extent that we have fences, they are designed to keep people out, not in. But they won’t leave because they know the lies they vomit up about how oppressive the US is are just that: lies. They don’t want to go back to the places from which they came, or the places that already have the governments they want to impose here, because their scam of victimhood wouldn’t play over there. They know how good they have it here, and part of how good they have it here is the ability to whine about how bad it is to a receptive audience of liberal morons riddled with guilt over things they didn’t do to people who didn’t have it done to them.
We aren’t an “ist” or “phobic” country, we’re a sick of this s**t country; we’re a “done listening to your whining and complaining” country. You want to be taken seriously, act seriously. Act like decent human beings, sickened by people throwing bombs or a regime that murders 35,000 of its own citizens for the “crime” of speaking against their real oppression. Be grateful to be here, no matter what configuration of a human being you might be, whether you were born here or moved in last week. If you are, you will find you complain almost not at all and you’ll be happy. If you’re not, you deserve your misery.
