The author points out the absurdity of using these troops, who should be focused on training or preparing for serious deployments, to compensate for cuts made to the National Park Service, turning them into an expensive gardening crew. This is seen as a wasteful use of taxpayer money and an insult to the soldiers’ service.

New York City’s wealthy residents are experiencing a “freakout” over Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist candidate whose platform includes policies like rent freezes and higher taxes on the rich. This panic is primarily driven by Mamdani’s primary victory and his stances, which have led to threats of relocation from some elites. While Mamdani campaigns across the city, opponents like former Governor Cuomo and Mayor Adams court wealthy donors in the Hamptons, with figures like grocery tycoon John Catsimatidis vowing to close his business if Mamdani is elected.

The article contends that the subjection of the United States to a Trump dictatorship is no longer a theoretical possibility, but an imminent reality, as he is rapidly consolidating power through illegal actions and intimidation.
