John Catsimatidis, the billionaire CEO of WABC Radio and Red Apple Media, has stepped forward with a direct plea for Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa to exit the New York City mayoral race. This comes amid growing fears that a divided field could hand the keys to City Hall over to Democratic contender Zohran Mamdani, whose radical agenda threatens to push the city further into chaos.
Catsimatidis, a Republican who once ran for mayor himself in 2013, expressed concerns “that Sliwa’s continued candidacy could split the vote and inadvertently help another candidate.” He added that the move is essential to consolidating support behind a ‘viable alternative’ and avoiding what he described as a potentially damaging outcome for the city if the vote remains divided.
Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels and a longtime voice on WABC Radio—currently on leave during his campaign—faces mounting pressure from within his own circles. Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman echoed the sentiment earlier, warning that unless Sliwa bows out, “we are toast.”
With the election set for November 4, 2025, these calls reflect a strategic push to rally behind former Governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, to counter Mamdani’s surge.
Recent polls paint a stark picture. A Gotham Polling/AARP New York survey released on Monday indicates that in a head-to-head matchup without Sliwa, Cuomo could seriously challenge Mamdani, who currently leads in a three-way race. Another Quinnipiac poll from October 9, 2025, shows Mamdani ahead overall, but the numbers tighten dramatically if conservative votes unify.
Betting markets like Polymarket give Mamdani a commanding edge now, but insiders whisper that shadowy progressive networks are inflating his support through questionable tactics, aiming to install a leader who aligns with their anti-police, pro-open borders vision.
The race intensified after incumbent Mayor Eric Adams abruptly dropped out amid federal investigations, leaving Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa to battle it out. Their October 16, 2025, debate at 30 Rock exposed deep rifts: Mamdani defended his democratic socialist roots and calls to defund the police, while Cuomo positioned himself as a no-nonsense enforcer of law and order, and Sliwa hammered on street crime. Critics argue that Mamdani’s ties to far-left groups, including his vocal support for boycotts against Israel, signal a dangerous shift toward policies that could embolden criminals and weaken America’s greatest city.
Behind the scenes, some speculate that Adams’ exit was no accident—perhaps orchestrated by elite forces eager to clear the path for Mamdani, whose platform echoes the globalist agendas that have already eroded public safety in places like San Francisco and Seattle. Cuomo is viewed as the lesser of two evils.
If Sliwa stays in, the split could deliver NYC into the hands of those who prioritize ideology over security, leaving residents to pay the price in rising crime and economic decline.
As the clock ticks toward Election Day, Catsimatidis’ intervention serves as a wake-up call: unity among those who aren’t radically insane might be the only thing that could stop Mamdani.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
No! Pick better candidates then.
Several years ago, there was a survey published saying that one third of NYC residents had a close relative in prison or under supervision of the penal system. It’s no surprise that NYC residents prefer their criminals to their own safety. No one wants to hear Sliwa’s public safety message. Some of these refugees are moving out my way about two hours away not to enjoy the country life but get away from the rat hole they voted for themselves bringing their drugs, gangs, feral children and their city life with them. I haven’t been to NYC in nearly thirty years but it’s coming here.
The cities are first then they/criminals expand into the suburbs and beyond.
Our politicians are so corrupt and sell out for a few pieces of silver thinking their lives and the lives of their family will never be adversely affected by their decisions.
What an awful choice to make. Again with having to chose between the lesser of two evils. Cuomo, can never forget that fool and his antics during the scamdemic. Don’t live in the area, so know nothing of the Sliwa guy. But at this point, why shouldn’t he stay in the race and Cuomo drop out? I think, if that Mamdawi whatever his name is gets elected, the feds should immediately wall in that whole city, and no one can leave it. They don’t deserve to be part of the rest of this country if they think that guy is a good fit to run their vile city. And start walling off the other cities acting like this one as well. Just shut this nonsense down.
Step down now and give Coumo a chance,,, if you dont ,,,
1. Mandammy will change the landscape of NYC in a few short years to look like London today.
2. You will be forever remembered as the guy who helped him.
3. at least with Cuomo you will have another bite at the apple and a chance in 4 years…. Mandammy wins? not a chance he will become so powerful no one will unseat him.
I figure either way, Boomers are toast!
