Mamdani’s wife’s “art” can only be described as the average doodling of a woke, moody 15 year old girl. It is reminiscent of the Solo Polyamorous Hijabi Amputee Canva-style infographic slop that was so cringe it became a meme.

Digital Single
Jack Tempchin – July 5, 2025
*#PumpUpThaVolume/#TruthMusic: Jack Tempchin – “The Man I Voted For” https://open.spotify.com/album/5wwbZWlp3KNvSORYyvWqTb // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Tempchin // Folk singer Jack Tempchin got more than he bargained for when he voted for Orange Man! Now he regrets his stupidity, boo hoo! Jack unleashes more truth than he intended on his new single, available now via the artist. Jack Tempchin is an American musician and singer-songwriter who wrote the Eagles song “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and co-wrote the Eagles’ songs “Already Gone”, “The Girl from Yesterday”, “Somebody” and “It’s Your World Now”… So it’s obvious this guy’s thoughts are highly suspect lol.*
