“Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask, ‘Why me?’ Then a voice answers, ‘Nothing personal. Your name just happened to come up.’” Charles Schultz

Barack Hussein Obama has to be tickled pink.
In 2007 he told The New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof, “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer.”
Well, it’s Obama’s lucky day. Now he can hear the call to prayer in New York City, blasted through mosque loudspeakers.
During Ramadan. Every morning. For 30 days. And who knows? Maybe every day.
Even though it makes regular New Yorkers grumpy, even Muslim New Yorkers, the Islamic-Mosque-Blasters claim it’s their First Amendment right.
In ‘64, “Sweet, sweet music,” was described by Martha and the Vandellas in their song, Dancing in the Streets.
“There’ll be swinging, swaying. And, records playing. Dancing in the streets.”
“In Philadelphia, Pa. Baltimore and DC.”
It was Motown, but it was music for everyone.
Obama has no real ties to any of that. Or the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1964, when Dancing in the Streets was released, Barack Obama was three.
He lived in Hawaii, mentored by Communist Frank Marshall Davis. After that he lived in Indonesia. So, he’s not really a “black American.” Ask Jesse Jackson.
With the advent of Obama, today Americans have been forced to learn Islamic words, while illegal immigrants aren’t required to learn English.
“Jihad.” “Sharia.” “Fatwa.” And Americans were warned never to talk about Muhammed. Or else.
Last week Americans were force-fed a new Islamic word, “Iftar,” the evening meal that breaks the Ramadan fast.
The reason it popped up at all, was because New York City Mayor Mamdani celebrated it as any good Muslim mayor would: Eating on the floor, sitting on rugs, in Gracie Mansion.
I know.
But the real treat was Mamdani’s special guest. Mahmoud Kahlil
Name ring a bell?
The Syrian-born Kahlil is a prominent Pro-Palestinian-Anti-Israel/Jew protester. He “fought” at Columbia University alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi.
He stood, shoulder to shoulder,with the spokesman for the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obaida, urging protesters to “destroy” and “explode the heads of Zionists.”
(If you check AI, it will tell you this Hamas-related incident did not happen.)
On Monday, Mamdani posted a photo of his Iftar, wife Rama Duwaji by his side.
“Last night, as we marked the one-year anniversary of his detention (Khalil was slated to be deported), Rama and I were honored to welcome Malmoud, Noor, his wife, and their son, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together,” he said.
When his politically calculated “dinner” created blowback, Mamdani was insulted.
“As the mayor of New York City, I believe it is my responsibility to fight for the safety and for the rights of each and every New Yorker,” he snapped.
What he didn’t add was, “I’ll fight for you if you’re a Muslim. If you hate Jews.” But we already knew that.
Muslims hold the cards in New York City, and across the nation.
There is no Dancing in the Streets, as celebrated in the Motown hit, but there is praying in the streets. Across the nation.
On March 5, 2026, a group of Muslims held an Iftar event and prayer, placing prayer mats in front of a 9/11 memorial plague near the World Trade Center.
A bit cheeky.
So, the solution could be something, yes, controversial, but definitely needed.
It’s simple, and it has to do with names.
Rama Duwaji. Zahran Mamdani. Malmoud Kalil. Attorney Mehdi Essmidi who represents the New York-bomb throwing terrorist teen, Emur Balit.
The Rule would be: If you can’t pronounce it, then you must deport it.
Hold the line, America. Stay strong, Patriots.
