Big Cities Behold the Power of the Golden Moutza

By John Kass

July 3, 2025

Can you give a moutza to a moldy piece of cheese found in the back of your fridge?

Yes of course.

The cheese can do nothing. And you may give the moutza to anyone or anything. You’re free in a country without kings.

This is the United States of America, sweetie, not Great Britan, where citizens have been imprisoned for daring to complain about barbaric leftist rioters or charged with Thought Crimes for daring to silently pray near an abortion clinic.

But a chunk of moldy pecorino Romano cheese which might ruin your Pasta al Limone has no rights. Just follow our friend Vincenzo’s directions here where it comes to making classic Sicilian pasta. Don’t add cream!

The thing about cheese, like government teachers’ unions, is that bad cheese does not feel any shame. And the CTU has no shame. Just look at the illiterates they’re turning out of the Chicago schools, kids who can’t read or do math. Kids who are being prepared for a life of welfare dependency and prison. The KKK couldn’t do as much damage to black kids as do the government schools. You don’t like it? Too bad. Blow on it, because it’s true and Democrats know it.

Jim Babiak:

Nah, so many contenders, but let’s give CTU president Stacy Davis Gates a shout out for saying the quiet part out loud for us all to hear… that CTU owns our kids. I mean thank God my kid is in the suburbs and is immune from being “owned” by CTU.

But honestly, shouldn’t CTU own the failure of their declining standards and results before trying to own the children? Feesah Etho Stacy!

Democrats are terrified of Stacy.

The KKK could not have designed a system so dedicated to the destruction of young black kids as did the @CTULocal1. Read @PaulVallas in the @ChicagoContrar1 here:https://t.co/izJGFM8Z6y

Karen Sherman Bushy:

Jim Babiak, this one has my vote. It is such a bad situation on so many levels and so directly impacts the lives of thousands of kids. The New York mess is big and flashy, but this CPS attitude is going to continue to reap a bitter harvest for this area.

 

Gather around my friends. Most of you know how this works. You find me on social media toward the end of the month and nominate your worthy idiots and fling the open palm salute of my ancestors—the Moutza.. Don’t forget the magic words. Only presidents, from Obama, Biden and Trump are exempt according to the sacred, ancient document, the Moutzatution.

Joe Malez:

I have to go with United States Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) for his performance during a news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Padilla burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting the speaker, and elevating his voice, and did not identify himself.

This Academy Award performance is not only Oscar worthy, but worth something way more valuable.

Senator Alex Padilla, I say Nah! Blow on this…

Kass: Yes, he’s a phony drama queen, a twit, and a fool.

Tom Winikie:

Excellent choice for the Golden Moutza! Padilla’s tearful speech on the Senate floor was heart-wrenching. It’s like watching Madonna sing “Don’t cry for me Argentina”, or Sally Field’s woeful crying scene in the chick-flick classic “Steel Magnolias”.

Joe Maddad Montefinese

With a big big hug, our very wealthy rich governor the Porcelain King Nah Nah Feesah!!!

David Kleckner

In the non-politics category, it has to be the as-yet unnamed White Sox fan who embarrassed everyone by heckling Diamondback’s second baseman Ketel Marte. Nah! And thanks to the White Sox for giving him the ultimate Nah!

Kass—Should be banned from every ballpark for all time.

Pat Hickey

Golden Moutza of the Month to Trevor Britvec – MAN BUN Maurader of NYC!

Kass—Pat, great moutza, I hate man buns as much as I hate commies and cold, slimy okra. But it must be disallowed. You’re my friend, but Pat, you forgot the magic words!!!

Ron Zielke

Dems panicking frantically digging through their dwindling bag of “get Trump” tricks. NAAA!

Bob Kit

NYC democrats, NAH!!!

Marilu Wilschke

The voters of NYC who, like those of LA, Chicago, and others, have fallen for the hollow leftist promises of a plethora of free stuff and no policing to dim your aura. So, if you have your way, next summer you can walk the city streets in 90-degree heat in your black burkas. Sorry, no free buses regardless of what Mr. Mamdani promised. Free universal childcare? That’s a no go. City owned grocery stores with cheap food? Hah! Brandon promised that here, haven’t seen one yet. But you will save money on clothes. Those burkas cover a lot of faults. No more shorts and tank tops for you. Nah! Nah! Nah!

David Giesen

The people of the State of Illinois are going to pay for Stacy David Gates’ malfeasance for decades to come. Not only are the CTUs’ teachers eventually going to bankrupt Chicago, the social cost of the teachers failing to do their jobs will be borne by Illinois for the life of those ill-educated CTU chattel, aka students. Stacy, you know not what you do!

Kass–Oh she knows.  Unfortunately, David, you forgot the magic words.

Bob Carlton

The Democrats of New York City for choosing communist Mamdani as their candidate. If Mamdani wins maybe he can start a co-op grocery business with Brandon Johnson in Chicago. Nah!

Kass–If they ran a grocery store they’d be broke in a week.

Jerry Digani

I’d go non-political and offer a Nah to Jeff Bezos for throwing his extravagant wedding. The poster boy for the wealthy.

Clarence Totleben

It’s gotta be JB running for governor again claiming he has a budget and taking credit for paying bills. Illinois is the highest taxed state in the country with no government accountability. He doesn’t care that people are leaving the state in droves!

David Kleckner

Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch, as a dark horse nominee. For giving Illinois taxpayers both middle fingers, first by ramming through yet another late-night unbalanced budget with outrageous spending increases, and then by scamming taxpayers in that budget for a $40 million sports complex for his own school district. Nah! and Nah! again.

Yes, yes, my friends. All politics are local. And the politics of the Chicago Teachers Union and Cook County Board President Boss Toni Preckwinkle have destroyed the city of Chicago.

But think of the long view: New York is the financial capital of the world and they just elected a communist trust fund baby who has never had a job.

And now more panic from the terrified panicans there, with the wealthy entitled white college educated finally realizing they installed communist Mamdani in as the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York and so they’re desperate to flee.

Like the AWFLs freaking out about Mayor Panic Attacks Brandon Johnson and moving out after they bit down hard on their leftist politics and elected him. NAH!

As Karol Markowicz writes in the New York Post “I fled NYC for Florida — sorry, Mamdani-fearing Democrats, we’re full!”

She’s right! They are full. No room. No room. Except for commies and their eunuchs. And don’t worry you hate-readers out there, there will be plenty of space for a Republican Moutza once their mysteries of the Big Beautiful Bill are ferreted out.

For today though, as much as the Illinois Democrats and the CTU and Boss Toni deserve the Golden Moutza in Chicago, the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York is something fundamentally worrisome for the country.

Which is why I wrote my Sunday column, “Democrat Anguish Will Only Get Worse,”

That column was also featured at Real Clear Politics and the conservative Powerline Blog. And the lead image, of a ewe crying over the carcass of her baby lamb as a murder of crows edge closer to feed on the carcass is fixed in my memory. I talked about it on the Real Clear Politics podcast on Wednesday with Real Clear co-founder Tom Bevan.

But you’re here to see us bestow the Golden Moutza of the Month of June. So, who gets it?

How about the city that never sleeps, New York, New York, the city energizing the deranged wackadoodle left before they turn our whole country into the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Don’t believe me? Just sit there, wipe the rib sauce off your chin with a July 4 napkin, and wait.

“You always make it there, you make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York

“In New York, New York

“I wanna wake up in that city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill, top of the list (you bet)
A number one, king of the hill”

The Golden Moutza can’t go to a chunk of moldy pecorino because cheese can’t feel shame. But can the New York lefties feel shame, or at least the humans there feel regret, as their city empties out, as the people flee? And the murder of crows edges closer.

They’ve elected a zealot who was backed by the richest people of the city.

Let’s find out if shame figures in here.

New York, lift up your face and take the Golden Moutza. I use both hands and take off my shoes to give you both feet.

Nah! Nah! Parta! Nah

Feesah etho!
