- Stanley Kubrick via Frank Silvera, “Killer’s Kiss”
Because the answer was "no" in 1955, and remains "no" in 2025, "Killer's Kiss" remains depressingly relevant.

In the scene when Americans illegally cross the border to Mexico to flee the superstorm, a huge cheer erupted from the Mexican crowd.
I wish I'd been there.

"No!" answers everyone who has tried to be happy without money in capitalist societies.
Thus I explained Zohran Mamdani's victory through "Killer's Kiss."

Trump and Epstein are part of the same club.
Kubrick's magnum opus, "Eyes Wide Shut," is about the Trump-Epstein universe.
Kubrick is dead.
The world he exposed is still very much alive.

Norman Mailer ran an idea-based mayoral campaign in 1969; Zohran Mamdani ran one in 2025.
Because of social media, Mamdani was more successful than Mailer.

Both men ran for New York City mayor on bold programs.
Yet Mailer lost in the 1969 Democratic primaries, while Mamdani won the entire 2025 election.

Barring that: I'm glad Mamdani won!

I like "Killer's Kiss" more than its own filmmaker, Stanley Kubrick.
Among its many virtues, it explains the rise of democratic socialists like Mamdani.

Seventy years later, New York is still like this... and that's why Zohran Mamdani will soon be its next mayor.

Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic.
Saying all Jews are loyal to Israel IS anti-Semitic... but Trump keeps saying that, not Mamdani.

He is not, as Debra Messing claims, a "jihadist."
I'm Jewish and have experienced anti-Semitism.
Mamdani isn't anti-Semitic.
He's criticizing Israel.
I explain it in my latest op-ed.
