Emotions have been flaring this week as many Republicans and conservatives concerned about Marxist Zohran Mamdani being the next mayor of New York City have called on Republican Curtis Sliwa to drop out. They believe that Independent leftist candidate and former governor Andrew Cuomo is the only person who can beat Mamdani and Sliwa is splitting the vote.
Among the most vocal advocates for Sliwa’s exit is hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. He and other NYC billionaires have allegedly even offered money to Sliwa in exchange for backing Cuomo, though those reports are unconfirmed.
Now, Ackman believes he has uncovered the reason why Sliwa won’t leave. On an X post, he said:
I spoke to someone who knows @CurtisSliwa and now I understand why he is staying in the race.
The City has an 8 to 1 matching program for NYC donors. Sliwa got ~$5m of matching funds from the city for his campaign.
According to my source, Sliwa’s wife, friends and others are on the campaign payroll, and he and they are enjoying living off the city taxpayers who are funding his race/lifestyle. He doesn’t want to end his campaign and have to return the funds.
Follow the money.
When I asked why he doesn’t care about NYC? my source said:
‘He doesn’t give a sh-t.’
Clearly, this is hearsay, but my source is extremely credible and a highly respected person, and he knows Sliwa well.
Curtis, please correct the record if I got anything wrong.
What personal or other related expenses is your campaign paying for?
Is your wife and/or other family or friends on the campaign payroll or receiving any funding?
Please clarify the record.
Reactions to Ackman’s post were mixed. Those who have supported Sliwa are calling Ackman a liar while those who have called for Sliwa to drop out are joining Ackman in pointing fingers.
Recent polls have shown Cuomo gaining ground on Mamdani. All but one poll in October show Mamdani below a unified Cuomo-Sliwa vote. But supporters of Sliwa have noted that a low percentage of Republicans would vote for Cuomo even if Sliwa endorsed him. They wouldn’t show up at all, which would hurt Republicans in other races.
Sliwa has not responded to Ackman’s accusation as of the posting of this article. We will update it if more is revealed.
Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
I don’t care is the biggest crook in the world, he’s still a million times better than Commie-Momdani and mass murderer of elders Andrew Cuomo.
