New York City's Descent Into Delusion is Now Complete

At the stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2026—while most of the city was still sweeping up confetti and nursing a hangover—Zohran Mamdani was quietly sworn in as mayor of New York City. But not on a Bible.

Not in front of the historic rotunda of City Hall. No, this swearing-in was done in the shadows of a decommissioned building…on a Quran. Symbolism, we’re told. Highly symbolic. And they’re right—it is.

It’s symbolic of a city that no longer even pretends to care about shared values, shared heritage, or shared moral footing. It’s a declaration that the old order—the one built on law, justice, and common sense—is over.

Mamdani didn’t just reject the Bible. He rejected everything that once tethered this city, and this nation, to moral reality.
