Connecticut's Democrat Party’s Quest to Go Back to The Stone Ages

 

“Back to the Stone Age” should be the new slogan for the state of Connecticut in the future, as it is certainly more apt and accurate than “Make it, Here”.  There will be no Back to the Future, nor any type of functional advancement economically, socially, or environmentally with the Draconian "Advanced Clean Cars II, ACC" initiative (the “Act”) requiring that all light duty vehicles sold in the state be Zero emissions vehicles by 2035 and that medium and heavy-duty trucks reduce their "emissions" by 40 to 75% by 2035 as well.  Truck fleets of 50 vehicles and over will be required to report to the DEEP for "prioritization" of these fleets to electric vehicles.  The Act also will create "superior warranty provisions and protections" although there is no mention from what I can gather as to how this will happen and who will pay for it (https://portal.ct.gov/deep/air/mobile-sources/ct-proposed-emissions-standards-for-cars-and-trucks).  Sadly, the poor citizens of Connecticut know that these vague and inept policies are par for the course in the land of King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, but no one in said kingdom ever seems to care.

The Confused Connecticut Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Environment and Energy Protection (“DEEP”), Katie Dykes, stated that support for this Stone Age bill was overwhelming even though the massive investigation by David Flemming of the Yankee Institute showed the majority of comments sent to the DEEP were overwhelmingly against this economically incoherent piece of legislation (https://ctmirror.org/2023/11/22/ct-gas-car-ban-deep/?mc_cid=ccfa588631).  Dykes obviously did not really research and/or apparently read the negative comments as Mr. Flemming noted from his article that "while DEEP did receive more than 4,000 comments, over 900 had identical email usernames and/or domain names, as I discovered in my research for the Yankee Institute. Therefore, it is a good bet that fewer than 4,000 people Actually commented. Nevertheless, because duplicates from the “support” and “oppose” camps were evenly distributed, this would not impact the tally of comments on a percentage basis. " Thus, as in Democrat run Bridgeport with the stuffing of absentee ballots for Mayor, the state's comments are skewed with 900 identical robo emails flooding the comments box. Simply put, if one removes these comments, one sees there is overwhelming opposition to this bill and Act by the legitimate Taxpaying public.  But why let hard figures such as that bother the highly paid DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes (whose salary is well over $175,000 a year) and other math-deniers in government? Ostensibly, this crowd has signed up with the “all math is racist” crowd in their exercise of non-analytical policy double-speak, (but I digress).

The Act also has had absolutely no cost benefit analysis to it.  Who will be paying for these vehicles, extended warranties, electric charging stations (that apparently will use no fossil fuels?), batteries, liabilities for damage when there is a fire in an electric vehicle and/or get in an accident with one, the economic costs of the massive amount of gas/diesel stations/pumps closing, the economic costs of the massive layoff of gasoline/diesel mechanics due to a lack of work, the economic costs of parts supply houses/dealers going out of business since parts for gasoline/diesel vehicles will no longer be able to be sold since liability issues are unclear in the Act.  Connecticut will be embracing a complete dismantling of the pathetic remains of its economy to embrace this new beloved "Stone Age." In addition, it is well-settled that the environmental costs of generating E-power are far worse that the supposed benefit from abstention from fossil fuels.

Thus, Connecticut Taxpayers will be spending a great deal of money trying to get anywhere wheresoever in the state especially those few who will still have jobs and must commute to work.   What law is coming next? A ban on all driving in the state?  I can see that coming especially with the shoving down the throats of this true debacle of legislation for EV vehicles being the only cars sold in state.  The laws of supply and demand in a free-market economy seem to be hated by the Profit Driven Ned Lamont multimillionaire Democrat Party of 2023.  It is really no big deal to them as we know profits are being panned out now by the ruling elite, and a new Stone Age is embraced by the environmental police state that we all know is Connecticut. 

If you are not particularly fascinated by high-level governmental machinations, and you are just doing your best to get along from day to day, allow me to boil this down for you: A bunch of elitist eggheads and idealogues  in Connecticut government are forcing you to pay money that you will never have to purchase undependable skittish electric cars and trucks that are far too expensive to charge and may not even run if the power goes out and if the weather dips below a certain temperature. Also, if your family is hungry and you need necessary supplies, the large trucks forced to use this so-called technology delivering these critical goods might become inoperative as they will become too heavy for roads and bridges. So, as you cannot get your car started and your family is going hungry and you cannot work, you want to scream at your government, but your government really does not care, and to make things worse, your governor is tied to a large family investment in E-cars made by a Middle Eastern country interested on pushing this E-car mess upon you, come Hell or high water.

Do you still have a problem with this? Be obedient to the party line.  And start walking today and shut up about it.

“Saudi Annie” and Her Saudi Profits

 Political scandals are woven into our everyday life, especially in Connecticut.  With the current Democrat Administration of His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, his wife Ann Lamont (aka “Saudi Annie”) and their family private equity partnership Oak HC/FT, Connecticut Taxpayers still have no clear answers to many questionable investments and arrangements tied to Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, “The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, Tidal River Fund, McKinsey, and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies even years later. To make matters even worse, not one political person to date has aggressively pursued how these arrangements impact the state, especially when all the homework has been previously completed for them to proceed.

Now let us add to that menagerie of companies and arrangements above the new Saudi Arabian connection as has been discovered and made public knowledge through the hard work of Journalist George Colli https://thectcapitalist.com/2023/07/31/saudi-annie-days-1-10/)  and continually followed up by Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci show (94.9 FM).  There is a disclosed investment of undetermined sum by the Saudi Arabia Private Investment Fund into its investment arm Sanabil Investments which in turn is investing in numerous United States venture capital firms including Oak HC/FT.  Again, Oak HC/FT is the Lamont family equity partnership.  Why are the Lamont's accepting investments from a country that has numerous ties to the slaughter of its enemies, terrorism, control of natural resources worldwide, control of the "green" electric vehicle markets and its batteries, and its atrocious human rights record especially with non-heterosexual people?  Since the Lamont’s have no comment whatsoever on this investment one must assume that they approve of it since it will likely bring more profit to the egregious Lamont family financial record.  How does it benefit our country when an elected Democrat Party official is allowed to gain profit for its' family by partnering with an enemy to our country?  How much of Connecticut Taxpayers monies were involved in this latest economic investment by Oak HC/FT?  Why is this information hidden from taxpayers? Why is the ethics system and financial disclosure system in Connecticut a total and complete failure with respect to providing disclosures in these matters?

Since “The Unaccountable” has never made a state financial policy decision that somehow did not benefit his family coffers, the obvious (but not pursued) question is how will this “Saudi Annie” deal imperil state policy? Will “E-Car-2035” be codified to the point where gas powered vehicles will not be allowed in state? After all, the Saudi Public Investment Fund is a huge investor in the genre (https://www.wsj.com/articles/lucid-electric-vehicle-losses-51035f63). Will all state vehicles now be electric to help bail out Lamont family investors that are losing money hand over fist in E-Car investments? Will this create a needless public safety crisis given the nature of E-vehicles? How about more wind power installations as the Saudis are heavily invested in that as well? How about the installation of Saudi- style “economic cities” in place of our poor pathetic wrecked Connecticut ones? All seems quite likely, but no questions are ever asked by those close to the Lamonts. This is a sickening and shameful indictment on the political system especially given the Lamont track record.

There is a strong possibility that Connecticut's Democrat/Socialist/Communist United States Senator and former faux Vietnam Combat Veteran Richard Blumenthal will actually get some answers to his recent probing of the Saudi's fund since he became very upset by their investments in golf in our country.  Will his newfound enthusiasm in actually finding truth in something actually uncover some harsh economic realities that paint the industrious spouse of Connecticut's Governor in a corrupted light by accident?  

The bigger question here that all Taxpayers must be asking themselves is why their hard-earned tax monies are going to sworn enemies such of our country?  Why are our elected officials allowed to invest in the antagonists and foes of America?  Did we not learn anything from history?  It seems we have long forgotten 9/11/01 and now 10/7/23 in Israel.  

Many people want answers to the Lamont's investments.  It would be nice to actually see accountability in Connecticut's state government.  It would be nice to see elected officials from both sides of the aisle demanding answers to these investments.  Ethics in government really do not exist anymore.  Just look at Joe Biden and his family.  But more importantly just look at His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, and his wife Saudi Annie and their resulting actions, where continual spin and avoidance are the orders of any day.  Those are all the answers you'll need to understand the complete breakdown of morals and governmental ethics in 2023.

 

Connecticut Elections Do Matter

Elections do matter.  No matter what you might hear or see, they do matter.  They matter more than you can imagine.  Unbelievably they also matter in Connecticut.  I still wonder why any sane person would vote for a Democrat, yet they did in droves this past Tuesday.  On election night, I commented that there has been a mass exodus of people from Connecticut who in many cases were Conservative and voted Republican in local elections.  As we saw during the pandemic, many people moved from New York and New Jersey into Connecticut replacing those conservative traditional voters and appear to have embraced the failed social and economic policies they fled from those states.  As such, several towns and cities leaned Democrat on election day for the first time in years.  That should be no surprise to the faux-Rockefeller-type moderate feel good Connecticut Republican Party that pompously runs against all things President Trump.  If one mentions his very name to some in the party, they will transform in front of your eyes into Democrats.  However. there are still some conservatives in the Republican Party who hold the line and deemed "hard right" (whatever that term means to liberals and socialists and why it is so offensive to them).  These same "hard right" conservatives are immediately written off by the party as being not electable yet are popular with like-minded citizens and are elected in some towns and cities.

Bridgeport is a vile and corrupt Democrat led city that continues to be an economic failure and a national laughingstock.  The city is a cesspool of Democrat corruption.  It is hard to believe that Mayor Ganim somehow  found enough absentee votes to amazingly win his election once again.  The obvious absentee ballot stuffing that took place on camera should have been enough evidence to have postponed the election entirely and voided all absentee ballots that were "delivered".   

What happened in Bridgeport was a stolen election, as it was illegitimate any way it is sugarcoated and spun.  What happened was illegal and still needs to be addressed, especially given its farcical nature. And predictably, the leadership position of His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, is that the system worked simply fine in Bridgeport and anything untoward was caught. Anyone with just minimal common sense would know that the wretched situation in Bridgeport cannot be an isolated incident in any way and that the Lamont position is an insult to any responsible citizen of the state.

Through it all, there are towns in Connecticut that remain strong Republican and have been for years.   Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Wallingford. Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Shelton. Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Orange.  Look at Bristol and some small towns in the state.  Look at what happened in Greenwich, where a well thought out, comprehensive Republican campaign took place that also addressed each lame attack from the Democrats running.  The Greenwich Republican plan should be adopted by the state Republican Party as a blueprint for success in future elections.  However, it sadly will not as infighting between the Rockefeller-lite and conservative parts of the Republican Party will continue in the massively important election of 2024.  

To run as a Connecticut Republican in 2024 will a prerequisite to do so be the condemnation and renunciation of President Trump and all of the policies he stands for?  These policies brought border security, energy independence, stable food prices, small business growth, and Middle East stability. This weakness cannot continue if the GOP ever hopes again to be a force in the state or the country.

There are many conservative Republicans who live in Connecticut and are fed up with their state leadership and constant losses.  They will vote for President Trump in 2024 regardless of anyone wanting to influence them otherwise.  They are fed up with the destruction of America's economy and society by a corrupt, pathetic Democrat President and his incoherent handlers. They would also be drawn to service should they see a party modeled on policy and principles rather than accepting defeat in the name of victory.

Connecticut after Tuesday successfully continues its path towards socialism and communism with the burdens of several new towns that will now be controlled by an omnipotent state Democrat Party.  The further erosion of these towns and cities will be embraced through higher taxes, yet even more crime, more economic turmoil, homelessness, cluelessness, incompetency, Marxism, addiction, more businesses closing and moving out of state, less practical teaching with much more educational brainwashing and indoctrination of false premises, ideas, and political ideologies.   There are two vastly different and unique paths politically in Connecticut.  Let us hope and pray that the demolition and ruination of this once great state stops at some point with ethical and honest leaders stepping forward to lead once again.  Connecticut simply cannot go on like this.

 

Why Would Any Sane and Free Person Vote Democrat on November 7, 2023?

 I truly wonder why anyone would vote Democrat on Election Day, especially in Connecticut?  Sadly, we do see groups who are owned by the Connecticut Democrat Party being forced to vote Democrat.  They include Communist-driven state labor unions, state and local teachers’ unions, businesses that are politically connected to the Democrats, and incoherent and unserious liberal lackeys and sycophants that are entirely ignorant concerning the economic and social wreckage of Connecticut and of our country.  I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens have had enough of the obfuscating lies that the Democrat Party force feed us daily in economic, social and world affairs. President Biden and his incompetent Administration are deliberately trying to destroy our country with their spew of incoherent economic and social gibberish. Even so, I believe that the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens will be voting based on the severe economic nightmare we are living in that has been created by the Democrats.   Voters will state on Election Day that they have had enough of the Democrat Party and its lies.  

The state run media continually supported by the Democrat Party are doing their best every day to hide crime, murders, theft of vehicles, unchecked illegal immigration, runaway inflation, energy horrors, food left rotting due to its high costs, fake climate change, an illegal drug crisis, a suicide crisis especially among our youth, a public school system only concerned with gender change/political indoctrination, barbaric abortion laws, a war in the Ukraine, a never ending Covid-19 crisis, and for dessert, the weekly fraud by His-Royal Con-Man King Governor Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his wife Annie propping up family-related investments by using Connecticut taxpayer's dollars. As just one example, the seven-count conviction of crypto fraudster Samuel Bankman-Fried this past week and his direct ties to Ned and Ann Lamont, the Digital Currency Group and the should-be-abolished Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s secret trashing of taxpayer dollars went entirely unreported in-state. But this economic event worthy of National news is not their fault!  The Democrat Party constantly blames any problem somewhere else other than themselves, with most blame thrown especially upon former President Trump.  I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens have tuned this Democrat propaganda machine out and are beyond their breaking point in more ways than the Democrat party and its associated operatives could imagine.   Most Voters see Election Day as a way to dispose of a political party whose hatreds, insecurities, lies, shaming, insults, and malicious and harmful actions have brought Connecticut and a free America on the verge of ruin.  The Democrat Party is incapable of any credible leadership or following the rule of law.  Voters have had enough of this mess, let alone any thinking person with a clear and working brain.

It is time in 2023 for a change in Connecticut and in America as to our government is managed.  We as the Taxpayers of our country have been forced to accept poorly run, economically incoherent and corrupt local, state, and federal governments and the broadside of taxes that are paid out daily.  Look at Bridgeport.  Look at New Haven.  Look at Hartford. Possibly, a worse example is New London. Why must this economic and social debacle continue?  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens be treated in such a horrific manner?  United States citizens did not vote for a communist/socialist form of government contrary to what the Democrat Party thinks.  We still have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that are legally binding in America in 2023.  Do we not?

Why would anyone vote Democrat on this Election Day?  Why?  I still believe in the greatness of our country.  I also believe that Voters will reject in full force the lies, deceptions, corruption and evil that the Democrat Party represents in 2023.  We all have had enough of this destruction.
