Connecticut’s Mediocre Government


Connecticut’s Mediocre Government


Mediocre is defined as of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance.  Connecticut’s government has transformed into a mediocre bureaucracy and a massive level of mediocrity that is usually seen when one political party (Democrats) rules the state and checks and balances are eliminated in the descent to economic oblivion.  Connecticut‘s regression has been on full display since Ned Lamont has decided to enslave Connecticut Taxpayers into forced servitude to help support his family and their hedge fund during the never ending Covid-19 crisis.  This is being done via no bid state contracts and a de facto consulting group advising him on every word he says.  All this while Connecticut residents abide by the ever changing guidelines of masks, social distancing, not playing loud music, not being on the road after 10pm and before 5am, etc.   Lamont has successfully been able to strip Connecticut of its economic vibrancy and dynamics due to unchecked powers that he has bestowed upon himself during this Covid-19 crisis.  A crisis where businesses have been lost for good and jobs have been eliminated forever.  A crisis where the state unemployment fund is now broke.  A crisis where there has been absolutely no cuts in government spending to try to offset the massive losses of tax revenues since the crisis has hit.  All in the name of controlling a virus that has killed roughly .0013% of the state’s population.  
It is sad that 4926 Connecticut residents have died from the virus and it is even more sad that many of those deaths probably could have been prevented especially in nursing homes if there had been a more coherent plan in place to help those most in need.  I thought that was the job of Connecticut’s Department of Public Health?  But since many of those who died there were shut off from family and friends their voices are meaningless to our mediocre government.  Those who passed really have no value to our mediocre government and its constant fear based rule over the state during this crisis.  Political appointees in state departments like that help to ensure the mediocrity that is embedded in our government.  
The state run media in conjunction with Executive Order Governor Lamont and the Boston Consulting Group help to control the narrative of the fear based Covid-19 crisis.  This also helps nurture the Connecticut’s mediocrity even more since there seems to be no good news reported by either the media, Lamont or our government agencies (if they still exist and are operational).  Our daily negative news about Covid-19 by Lamont gets tiring to listen to and has done considerable damage to the mental well being of many of our citizens. Fear and mental depression seem to be the norm for those who live here.  Lamont chooses to accent the chronic negative always mentioning if this or that happens he will be worried.  Worried about what?    Since the state run media is in lockstep with the Governor and his consulting group there little if any questioning of the mediocre policies that have helped to create the fear and panic felt by many in our state.  Again I ask what is the plan to reopen Connecticut.  Does it exist?  Is the plan to open Connecticut only when Boston Consulting Group says it is ok?  Is the plan to open Connecticut only when Lamont’s hedge fund has made enough profits from the virus and or has created a steady source of profits from Connecticut Taxpayers to ensure a never ending profit stream?  
And the sad part about Connecticut’s mediocre government is we as taxpayers must fund it through the excessive amount of taxes we pay in the state.  And we must not question anything that is being done or has been done during this crisis.  Accountability does not exist in our state government.  Mediocrity lives and is embraced by Connecticut’s elected and appointed officials.  It is ridiculous to accept this incoherent and illogical way to govern the state that has created economic turmoil.  Connecticut Taxpayers deserve better and should defund our current regime and this charade called government now.

No More Answers For Connecticut


No More Answers For Connecticut

Once again there are no more answers for Connecticut.  With our state government shut down, our state economy spiraling out of control, massive unemployment with an unemployment fund that is broke, a state run media whose obsession with Covid-19 being the only news borders on fanatical, little if any public education being taught and or learned along with massive debt and unfunded liabilities we head into a non-permitted Holiday season.  We truly have the real life Executive Order Governor/Grinch who is stealing Thanksgiving and Christmas and whose only concern is protecting his media image in the never ending, profit making Covid-19 pandemic for him and his friends.  A pandemic that I will assume will mean the death of everyone here in our state since we apparently are not wearing masks, social distancing, washing our hands and thus will eliminate Connecticut except for Ned Lamont, his family’s hedge fund, those politically connected and the Connecticut Democrat Party and its members.  I truly question where the high approval ratings for Ned Lamont are coming from?  Push polls?  
Here are the questions that are never answered:
What is the plan to reopen Connecticut?  Does it exist? Why must we be off the roads between 10pm and 5am each day?  Is Covid-19 most prevalent during that time frame?  Why can’t all businesses be open especially restaurants if they follow proper Covid-19 protocols?  Why are there changing metrics that place all towns and cities in the state in a “red” zone for Covid-19 at all times now?  Why does the positivity rate change all the time as a measure of non-improving numbers for Covid-19?  
How many Connecticut residents have recovered from Covid-19?  How many Covid-19 tests in the state have been false positives?  How many people are being tested with no symptoms whatsoever?  Why are they being tested?  What is the number of deaths currently by suicide and drug overdose in the state?  Is depression creating more suicides and drug overdoses during this time?  Why the constant message of fear that is force fed to us by the state run media and by our non working government?  
What is the plan to put people back to work and to fully open all businesses so that they start earning money and bring back their employees so that they can earn income again?  Does that even exist?
When is the General Assembly going to meet again?  Why did the Governor renew his own Executive Order rule until February, 2021?  Why is Connecticut completely dependent upon consultants and consulting groups such as the Lamont friendly Boston Consulting Group via no bid state taxpayer funded contracts?  Why are there no longer checks and balances in our state government?  
What is the plan to address the $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities?  How are exceptionally high future pensions going to be paid?  New and higher taxes?  Why can’t Connecticut be more business friendly?  
In nine months of the Covid-19 crisis it seems we have not progressed much at all.  Connecticut residents must live in fear and the threats of death from Covid-19 if we do not follow what the supposed consultants/experts are telling us to do.  And we must cede most of our personal freedoms to Ned Lamont and his consultants who are telling him what to do and when to do it.  But yet we still apparently do not stop the virus.  Ironic isn’t it?  And once again there are no more answers for Connecticut. Again and again.  No answers-not one.

Connecticut's Fear And Failures

 Connecticut continues its fear based way of life thanks to our Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Everything seems to be constantly breaking down around us with the never ending spread of Covid -19 along with the daily fear based state run media stories about it.  Obviously in my opinion no matter what we do, nor how we do it, every legal citizen no matter their age or race will somehow get Covid-19.  It seems to be the narrative that has been force fed on us since last March.  Statistics along with constantly changing guidelines, measurements and reporting tools increase the fear in trying to live in Connecticut.  Apparently with all of these Covid-19 problems everyone in the state will die and I guess Connecticut will cease to exist.  Except for Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and those who are politically connected in the state.  Profits continue for many companies that have ties with the Lamont's family hedge fund via no bid and secret state taxpayer funded Covid-19 related contracts.  They all seem to be very healthy and operational.  Don't people get better from Covid-19?  Does anyone build an immunity to this disease?  How does one get the virus by being on the road after 10pm at night?  Has there been anybody who has recovered from Covid-19 in the state? 

Connecticut at the same time continues with its daily economic failures with yet another poor economic report this time by Finch Reporting this past week.  Connecticut according to this report ranks next to last in the country in direct debt and net pension liabilities as a percentage of personal income.  Connecticut's debt accounted for a mere 26 percent of personal income.  Connecticut has been a bottom ranked state for several years now with enormous unfunded pension liabilities.  Connecticut currently has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  It is a massive debt that was never mentioned by either party in the recently concluded election nor never gets mentioned in our state run media.  Connecticut continues towards its path towards insolvency and bankruptcy with a never ending budget deficit and excessively high state and local property taxes.  Coupled this with draconian Ned Lamont induced restrictions on our state economy due to the fear based Covid-19 crisis thus there seems to be little hope of any economic turnaround here.  How does shutting down the state economy actually help businesses and helps to prevent Covid-19?  What is being done about the massive unemployment in the state?  It seems whether we are open or closed Covid-19 seems to be increasing.  So why can't we fully reopen, develop natural immunity to Covid-19 and get on with our lives? It could actually be worth exploring.  However that would mean a movement back to personal and economic freedoms in Connecticut and we know that may never be possible again under the Boston Consulting Group's guidelines in conjunction with Ned Lamont.

Connecticut's Taxpayers must live daily in fear of Covid-19 and with state government's economic failures.  All the direct result of poor state government and the burden of having one party rule in our state.  All the direct result of having a consulting company drive the narrative of this Covid-19 crisis.  All in the name of profit for the chosen few of the state.  Connecticut's fear of Covid-19 along with its economic failures make for a horrific way of life for the majority.  But isn't that what socialism and communism is all about?  Fear, a loss of freedoms and a never ending dependency upon a false government.  Maybe just maybe we do not want to live like this any more.

Why Must Voting Be Corrupt?

 

The last time I checked we lived in the United States of America.  We do not live in a “banana republic” which is defined as “any exploitative government that functions poorly for its citizenry while disproportionately benefiting a corrupt elite group or individual.”  At least I thought we have not become a “banana republic” even though I am not sure after seeing the voting debacle on election night in swing states.
I personally am not laughing at the amount of dead people who voted Democrat in this election nor why votes were stopped being counted during the night when President Trump was seen to have major leads in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.  Seven states in total are in dispute all going from major leads by President Trump to victory to the Democrats.  Amazing.  How is this possible?  It can only be possible through vote fraud which is illegal in our voting process yet seems to have roared its ugly head last week to guarantee a Democrat victory.  
Therefore we have a contested election.  While our stoic and pompous media have anointed Joe Biden as their “true” ruler, President Trump’s team of legal experts must fight for justice in the courts to gain votes that were rightly his.  Those who voted for President Trump feel that even though they voted for the President their vote was discarded especially in those seven states that are in dispute and being legally challenged.  Why are they not allowed to have their vote count?  Can any Democrat answer that question?  How are over 70 million Trump voters wrong?  
The Democrat Party and our state run media have led a vicious campaign against President Trump since he was elected in 2016.  Every day for the past four years President Trump has been forced to defend himself from allegation after allegation all which was found false.  It is wrong.
Voting should be done in person on Election Day with proper ID and absentee ballots should only be given out in certain warranted situations.  There should be no early voting.  Voting records should be checked with precision and accuracy.  What this election has shown is the total disrespect that Democrats in certain states have for the electorate.  Unethical behavior should not be tolerated as our vote should be viewed as a right guaranteed by our Constitution.  This election has shown me and 70 million others how incoherent and rigged our election process has become.  It is wrong.  Free America from this cancer that is known as the Democrat Party immediately.  Let legal voters be heard.

Connecticut’s Personal Freedom Grab

 

“I'm doing everything I can,” he said. If “we trim our freedoms there a little bit, we'll all be alive, safe, and be able to keep our economy open." This statement was made by Connecticut Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont (https://news.yahoo.com/ned-lamont-connecticut-governor-lockdown-keep-the-economy-open-173203169.html?soc_src=hl-viewer&soc_trk=fb) in a recent interview.   This comes on the heels of yet another roll back in the economy and its openings/closings along with a self-imposed curfew from 10pm to 5am every day.  I am amazed that the Covid-19 virus can peak during this time frame daily on anyone who may be out in the fresh air and or working, visiting, living, etc.
There seems to be yet another new metric to measuring Covid-19 cases in Connecticut and we are apparently seeing some new surge in the state based on these metrics.  What the metrics are seem to change day to day to fit the fear based daily narrative of the virus.  I find the colors of orange and red to be used as warning/dangers signs on state maps to be an interesting choice as they are symbols of President Trump and the Republican Party.  More negative messages by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party, Connecticut’s state run media and the Boston Consulting Group to be fed to the panic stricken and fearful Connecticut public.
Connecticut has a population of roughly 3,400,000 people.  According to worldometers.info, Connecticut has 27,047 active Covid-19 cases as of 11/6/2020.  If one views active cases as a percentage of the total population of the state the figure is .0079% of the state’s population has Covid-19 at this time.  To me and many others this seems to be a minor amount of people in comparison to the draconian measures that been implemented by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party, Connecticut’s state run media and the Boston Consulting Group to control our lives, our businesses and help to ruin the state economy.
We have been drilled constantly that if we follow all of the guidelines that Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the Connecticut Democrat Party, Connecticut’s state run media and the Boston Consulting Group have told us we would overcome the Covid-19 virus and our lives would return to normal.  So what happened?  Supposedly cases are increasing at an incredible rate.  Why?  The blame is being placed where?  Depending on what information is being fed us at any time it is somehow restaurants that are opened at night, college students that have “Illegal” parties, more than ten people to be meeting at home, people eating dinner at 10pm, etc.  The list of things to blame can be endless at times and in my opinion defy any logic.  And we still have no idea what the state is doing to help prevent the spread of the virus for those who are most at risk including the elderly, nursing home patients and the disabled.  
This virus and Connecticut have become a liberal and socialists dream.  The checks and balances of the state are long gone with a complete Democrat control of all aspects of state government from a dormant and powerless state legislature to a biased and packed court system that no longer meets, to a state run media that no longer offers a differing opinion.  Connecticut has a meek and failing economy with high unemployment and businesses closing. It has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities to deal with but who cares about that anyways?  Tuesday’s election means more of the same a stagnant economy along with more personal freedoms being taken away from its citizens and higher taxes.  
Connecticut’s personal freedom grab is real.  It is the unconstitutional law now.  It is laughed about by that Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party, Connecticut’s state run media and the Boston Consulting Group as to how easy it was to take from Connecticut’s citizens.  Socialism and a command economy is the new norm for 2021 in Connecticut. Don’t forget that since it was forgotten on our “Election Day”.

On Tuesday November 3, 2020-Why Would Anyone Vote Democrat? Why?-Part 2

I really wonder why anyone would want to vote for a Democrat candidate either on a state or national level in this upcoming election.  Why?  Can someone explain it to me?

Why would anyone vote for Democrat Joe Biden for President?  The man is incoherent.  Is this really the best candidate that the Democrat Party could run this year?  He obviously has issues with his speech, memory and recognition.  Is this a person who you want to lead our country during a crisis or war?  Is this a person who in 47 years of being in political office has anything of substance to help our country?  What was his crowning political achievement?  I can not answer that since I do not know it.  Or is this a person whose only concern has been to enrich his son and his family's financial positions (sort of like the way the Clinton's did)?  Why does Joe Biden dislike the oil and fracking industries?  Why does Joe Biden dislike the police in our country?  Why does Joe Biden want to raise your taxes?  Why did Joe Biden pick a person who got less than three percent in support in the Presidential primaries as his running mate: an arrogant and Socialist Kamala Harris?   Since when did Joe Biden become a Socialist and learn to hate the country he wants to be President of?  What did he actually do for his son Hunter for financial gain?  Why does the Democrat Party dislike America so much?  Again why would anyone vote for Democrat Joe Biden? 

President Trump has had an incredible record as President since he was elected.   Here is a PDF version of what he has done https://lc.org/PDFs/Trump.Accomplishments.FINAL.pdf for your review.  You truly should read it.  From our economy before the Covid-19 crisis to health care to our military.  It is amazing he has done this while fighting a Democrat coup attempt to impeach him and the "swamp" enemies he has fought for the past four years in Washington.  President Trump loves the United States of America.  He has helped dramatically low income workers to better themselves through greater wages and more income.  He has helped our military.  He has appointed exceptional judges to our judicial system and Supreme Court.  He has been a true friend of Israel and has done more to ensure peace in the Middle East since President Reagan.  He is concerned for all Americans especially those who are our lowest income earners in our economy and those in most need.  He believes in country and his love for our country should be unquestioned.  Why wouldn't you vote for President Trump for four more years?  I can not see why not.

I really wonder why anyone would want to vote for a Democrat candidate either on a state or national level in this upcoming election.  Why?  Can someone explain it to me?  The United States is at a crossroads.  Do you endorse Socialism and Communism like the Democrat Party has done during this election?  Or do you value your freedom and the free way of our American life?  Do you love America?  I know I do and I proudly support President Trump and Vice President Pence for four more years of making America great again.  You should too. Trump 2020.
