With less than two months until Election Day, the race between President Trump and former Vice President Biden is heating up. So much attention will be focused on the national contest that it’s easy, especially in deep blue New York, to forget that local races are far more important in terms of representation. This is why Republican Tom Zmich is challenging Democratic incumbent Grace Meng for NY Congressional District 6.

Last week, the Democratic National Convention had the opportunity to showcase the best they have to offer so Americans would choose to vote for them this coming November. Instead, what the waning audience was treated to was hatred, divisiveness, darkness, paranoia, and conspiracy theories.

“That’s a nice country you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.”

The mafia tactics of the Left have broken out into mayhem around the country. Minneapolis, Portland, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Kenosha, and many other cities have experienced rioting, looting, arson, and murder on their streets committed by Antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement. The message is simple: “Vote the way we want or we burn it down.” This message has been cultivated by the Democratic Party for years, well before Donald Trump.

The study of history is the study of human nature. We learn from the past in order to protect ourselves from the present. Voters need to take heed; and looking into our history, American Jews in particular, need to beware. You cannot escape history.

In a moment when memes are regarded as legitimate news outlets, the sight of moving vans this past Sunday on the Upper West Side of Manhattan appeared to fit perfectly with the narrative of New Yorkers fleeing their city amid a spike in crime, homelessness, and urban unrest. “The mass evacuation of Upper West Siders from New York City is in full effect,” local resident and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa told a New York Post reporter. “The moment I walked out on my block near Central Park West, there was a moving truck.”

Last week, Joe Biden picked who is running in his stead against Donald Trump, and it’s the radical leftist Senator from California Kamala Harris. Yes, the same Kamala Harris who insinuated that Biden was a racist, and said she believed his sexual assault victim is now the successor to the man who called himself a “transition” candidate and who the majority of voters don’t think will make it through his first term.
