No one can honestly say 2025 was boring. Nor unimportant. However, it was not filled with sanity.

For example, Zohran Mamdani, a Marxist Muslim, was elected Mayor of New York City. You know, the financial capital of the world, whose tallest buildings were brought down by Muslim terrorists just a few short years ago. Never forget, right?

Predictably, we are already seeing the inherent hypocrisy in Marxist leaders and policies, and he hasn’t even taken office yet.

Mamdani recently appointed someone who has no firefighting experience as the head of the Fire Department of New York (FDNY). The FDNY’s new commissioner is, however, a lesbian, and that appears to be all the “qualification” one needs to become Chief of Police, Fire Department Commissioner, or Mayor of a major city these days.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Somali-gate just keeps getting worse, though the mainstream media outlets, local and national, seem oddly uninterested in the burgeoning scandals.

Fortunately, independent videographer Nick Shirley recently shined the light on one. Shirley recorded footage of the Quality Learing [sic] Center, licensed to care for up to 99 children, but suspiciously completely devoid of kids at the time of his visit.

When Shirley and an assistant approached the building’s entrance, a white woman yelled to others inside, "Don't open up. It's ICE!”

Probably not what one would scream if there was nothing to hide.

Even more pathetically, a large sign adorning the façade of the “daycare center” read: “Quality Learing Center.” The center has allegedly received $4 million in state funds, yet cannot even correctly spell “learning” on its own sign. This place is obviously not just any old learing center. This place provides quality edumacation!

Speaking of education, per a recent online video, two female Somali school board members in Portland, Maine, recently declined to recite the Pledge of Allegiance -- after which another (white) woman can be heard acknowledging that the school sits on land stolen from members of the Wabanaki Confederacy. As if that wasn’t enough wokeness for one meeting, she then proceeds, incredibly, to state: “Equity is achieved in the Portland Public Schools when there are no identifiable differences in outcomes and experiences for any population,” at which point the video ends.

The shunning of the Pledge and recitation of the Land Acknowledgement were bad enough, but the assertion that the school district’s goal is to see that “there are no identifiable differences in outcomes and experiences for any population,” is mind-boggling and terrifying.

Everyone has different talents, IQs, and interests. Some kids are willing to work harder than others. Thinking that “no identifiable differences in outcomes” is a good thing — or even achievable — is far beyond preposterous. Believing that the district could somehow mandate “no identifiable differences” in “experiences” is worse. Every individual perceives things differently. Only a society of cookie-cutter robots subjected to exactly the same controlled environment could even approach such an outcome. Perhaps that is what too many in our public education system are striving for.

If folks like those in charge of the Portland Public Schools have their way, Somalis and tribal confederations will soon be all that’s left of what was once America.

All that could be said at that point is, “Good luck.”
