URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – America turned 250 yesterday, and while most New Yorkers were sweating through Fourth of July festivities, possibly with their thermostats turned down per the mayor’s instructions, Rama Duwaji, wife of radical NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, was soaking up the Mediterranean sun on the resort island of Mallorca.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
Duwaji, a 29-year-old illustrator and ceramist, skipped the patriotic celebrations entirely and flew eight hours to Spain to co-host a sold-out Islamic “spiritual wellness” retreat called “Plants of the Quran,” put on by a for-profit organization called The Women’s Sanctuary. The retreat, which kicked off Wednesday and runs through Monday, centers on sacred flora referenced in Islamic texts through art, botanical workshops, and spiritual reflection.
The price tag for this slice of spiritual luxury? A cool $3,400 per guest.
The Dallas-raised, Dubai-educated, Syrian-American artist serves as the outfit’s “artist in residence” — which apparently comes with the perk of jetting off to a resort while her husband rants to working-class New Yorkers about their energy consumption back home.
That’s right. While his wife was living the high life on a Spanish island, Mayor Mamdani was busy telling New York City residents to dial back their air conditioning. In the summer. In New York City. Nothing screams “man of the people” like a lecture on thermostats from a guy whose wife is enjoying a $3,400-per-person retreat in one of Europe’s most desirable vacation destinations.
This is the same Mamdani, remember, who spent the Fourth of July sitting behind George Washington’s desk at City Hall calling America “an arena of supremacy” and dismissing citizens who love their country as weak and unoriginal. He’s the Ugandan-born democratic socialist who beat out more moderate candidates in this year’s New York City mayoral race, riding a wave of far-left enthusiasm.
For conservatives who have been watching New York’s steady leftward lurch with growing alarm, the Mamdani household’s Independence Day week serves as a pretty telling snapshot. The mayor attacks capitalism and the wealthy in a public address, while his wife enjoys a luxury overseas retreat that most New Yorkers couldn’t dream of affording, all while telling those same New Yorkers to keep their apartments warmer.
Funny how when @ZohranKMamdani was telling New Yorkers to lower their AC his wife Rama Duwaji was boarding a flight to party in Mallorca
Reminder that I can’t tag her because she deleted her account after her insanely offensive tweets were discovered

The left loves to talk about income inequality. They’re considerably less enthusiastic about practicing what they preach.
Gracie Mansion, the historic Upper East Side residence where the Mamdanis now live on the taxpayer’s dime, presumably sat quiet while the first lady of New York City sipped something refreshing poolside in the Balearic Islands. Meanwhile, the working families of the five boroughs got a holiday week’s worth of progressive moralizing from their new mayor.
A long track record of bashing America. An eight-hour flight to a luxury resort. A $3,400-per-head spiritual getaway. And a lecture for regular New Yorkers about their thermostats.
This is who’s running the largest city in the country now. Happy 250th, America, try to stay cool.
