The Mythological Connecticut Republican Party

 If you were an ardent consumer of Connecticut State-run news sources this past year, you may not be aware that there was another election in Connecticut this November. Despite the microscopic and unenthusiastic endorsement from the Mythological Connecticut Republican Party, President Donald J. Trump gained a substantially higher vote count in the state than in previous elections, receiving almost 42% in 2024. However, despite the dogged efforts of the Mythological Connecticut Republican Party to deny the existence of anything relating to the obscene word “Trump,” no group of state Republican candidates came close to beating the ultra-liberal Democrat machine in 2024.

On a state level, Republicans lost even more ground in being a small minority in the Connecticut House, now holding only 49 seats to the Democrat Super Majority of 102 seats while in the Senate Republicans are down to 11 seats to the Democrat Super Majority of 25 seats. (excluding the results of the 8th District State Senate race). Sadly, things look poorly for the Mythical Connecticut Republican Party. 

As much are failures are continually attempted to be explained and excused away, it was more of the same in state Republican losses as have been seen year-in and year-out. It is argued that “all politics is local” However, it has become obvious that the state Republican message is ignored, lost, misspoken and or non-existent. What exactly is the message does the Mythical Connecticut Republican Party want to express to the Connecticut voting public? Is it less state governmental spending and the lowering of taxes? Is it a smaller, more efficient state government? Is it full transparency in state government along with a real check and balance mechanism? Is it more school choice and letting parents actually parent their children?  Is it liberty and personal freedoms? Is it a crackdown on crime and criminals with meaningful enforcement of laws to prosecute criminals? Is it the state taxpayer defunding of self-appointed sanctuary cities in the state? Is it enforcement of actual voting laws that would have prevented the ongoing crime in the city of Bridgeport's election and removed questions from other races? Is it the abolishment of dodgy “quasi-public” entities and opaque state-connected nonprofits that were most useful in the crooked Covid-19 machinations of King Governor Ned Lamont the Unaccountable? Is it enforcement of real ethics laws that govern state elected officials and state employees especially when state taxpayer funded contracts are involved? Is it criminal sanctions for law-breaking elected officials? Is it a “DOGE” type-effort in slashing the bloated and self-aggrandizing state workforce? Is it that state taxpayers have a real Bill Of Rights when dealing with state officials in Connecticut? Is it civil and criminal penalties when someone in that bloated workforce harms an innocent person?

What is it that the Mythical Connecticut State Republican Party bases itself on considering there is no doubt what is happening on the left. To this fact, it is quite clear that the Connecticut State Democrat Party stands for socialism, operative communism, government intervention at any and all costs, full term state taxpayer paid for abortion along with a state taxpayer funded abortion "hotline", minimal personal freedoms, election fraud, more and higher taxes, “creative ways” for finding employment for illegal students in state colleges, unobtainable clean/green energy conquests at any cost, more crime, less enforcement of laws that are actually legally binding, state run local planning and zoning law enforcement, and a crumbling bridge and highway system to just to name a few items.  In true Pravda style, the Connecticut State Democrat Party is able to achieve this with an obedient state run and state-supported media that echoes the Connecticut State Democrat Party rhetoric daily in its continual effort to help brainwash the public.

However, due to the efforts of a handful of independent reporters  and dogged ordinary citizens there are encouraging signs of political life in Connecticut with strong independent Libertarian and Conservative journalists and common citizens like my good friend Tony De Angelo and others who fight a daily battle in the state against this omnipotent one party machine's incoherent gibberish, effectively doing the work of what an opposing party should do.  Connecticut is in dire need of a vibrant, coherent Republican Party that no longer embraces the "coolness" of condemning all things Trump and all things Conservative while playing the continual patsy to the Connecticut State Democrat Party's hold.

The Mythical Connecticut Republican Party must end. It needs a functional and common-sense platform that embraces those who work and pay taxes in the state. It needs a functional and common-sense platform that embraces and relates to minorities especially the working Hispanic population that is found in many cities in the state. It needs new people from top to bottom in the party organization and not the perennially failed Republicans that embrace the Party's race to oblivion and stupefaction to nothingness and continual defeat. The Mythical Connecticut State Republican Party needs to emerge from myth to reality and generate a real candidate to run for Governor in 2026 and not another self-destructing unknown or benign party poster child running to be acceptable to all things wrong.

To emerge from obscurity, The Connecticut State Republican Party has time to prepare if it wants to. It must embrace the heart of the country that is rooted in strong American principles. It must be able to say the word MAGA and not run behind a tree in shame. It must show its dedication in fighting first for the non-state connected working person. It must champion a DOGE-based effort to shrink the monolith of state government and the administrative state. Or the Connecticut State Republican Party can continue in perpetual uselessness and defeat in becoming the new Whig Party of 2024.

To conclude, I will borrow one of Tony's favorite phrases. Change is simple as that, and just as difficult.

President Trump's 2024 Victory- (AKA- “The Revenge Of America”)

 America has seen it all in its 248-year history. A history that is rich in freedom and prosperity along with wars and Depressions. We have seen good Presidents and bad Presidents. We have seen Presidents caught up in scandals in their administrations and other Presidents whose ethics and honesty were immaculate. And we have also experienced divine interventions. One such intervention was experienced on November 5. For on that day, our forty-seventh President was elected, and this President was also our forty-fifth President. His name? Donald J. Trump.

President Trump plays a unique role in our nation's history. He had been almost assassinated by a killer’s bullets, belittled, denounced, eviscerated, slandered, vilified, and vituperated. He was impeached on two separate occasions, attacked relentlessly by a Democrat state Attorney General, two local Democrat prosecutors, and a Democrat Federal Special Prosecutor while being indicted 91 times in three separate and different criminal courts. He was found liable in two civil court cases and at the same time he was convicted of thirty-four supposed felonies. His Florida home was raided by special agents while his business in New York City was effectively confiscated by a Democrat Manhattan judge. The state-run media coverage of President Trump was aggressive, belligerent, malicious, spiteful, and venomous. Other men would have been broken by this mental and physical daily abuse paid for by United States Taxpayers. Not Donald J. Trump. No, Donald J. Trump could not and would not be broken or give up on his strong beliefs and convictions in his unyielding desire to make our country great again.

Despite this blitzkrieg over the past four years, over 73 million voters decided that President Trump was their choice to go back to office and become our 47th President.  He defeated Vice- President Harris on Tuesday. He staged what will be viewed in our nation's history as one of the greatest comebacks in political history. Greater than Grover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, or Richard Nixon. Despite everything that he was put through, he prevailed. He did not give up what he believed in, nor did he give up the fight for America. He exhibited a positive thought process in his movement that rarely has been seen in this country for years. His optimism and his willingness to fight a true political battle to help save our country was evident by his wide range of support, much of whom came to him from former detractors and former persecutors. He went to the ‘hood. He touched people of all backgrounds and walks of life. He offered exciting and new economic concepts. And people embraced and cherished him. It was truly history for the ages.

President Trump's victory has proven that a vast majority of Americans and American voters rejected the political correctness, woke divisive culture, and illogical economic policies that benefited the wealthy, while shaming the working middle class and small businesses of our country. President Trump's victory also has proven that most Americans and American voters rejected failed foreign policies that have us on the verge of World War III, a border crisis, an illegal drug crisis, and a human trafficking crisis. Americans and American voters rejected the past four years of a living nightmare courtesy of the failed Biden-Harris Administration. Americans and American voters had enough of the failed Democrat Party and their obliteration of our society and economy to suffice their incoherent gibberish of diversity, equity, and inclusion among other tortures and self-aggrandizements spread in our daily lives.

However if I were to relay the wonderful news above to a Martian exiting his flying saucer on his first trip to earth, he would be surprised to know that a number of states of the United States of America voted for the exact opposite of what is described above, choosing to embrace the malignant policies that have driven their regions into ruin. Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts proudly declared that she would violate Federal law and not participate in the deportation of illegal migrants in her state. Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois brags of his wonderful “governance” while Chicago leads the world in the murders of young men of color. Governor Gavin Newsom of California continues his disastrous ruin of California by pledging to defend the rights of lawbreakers as we weep at the wreckage of Los Angeles and San Francisco. And not to be undone is Connecticut’s own King Gov. Ned Lamont The Unaccountable, who in a hastily arranged press conference on November 6 stared into the camera with a deer-in-the-headlights blank stare saying that his Democrat Party has lost the ability to connect with humble people. These same humble people being the people he locked down, robbed from, stole personal data from, threw out of business, shamed, rendered jobless, and insulted. (Yes, Sire. You must forgive them for being unable to relate to you).

However, even in these failed bastions of woke liberalism of America, hope springs eternal. It is remembered that America was brought to the brink for the past four years as it has been many, many times since 1776. Election Day has proven that good has once again overcome evil, incompetence, and stupidity. Our Lord continues to watch over the United States of America daily through good and evil times. We now see that our Federal Government needs a major cleaning and reset. All legal Americans need to have representation again. Americans have spoken loudly. Americans do not need to be governed by un-elected and imperious career bureaucrats who could care less about the working men and women of all occupations that are the backbone of our economy. And once again, we are reminded that we do live in the greatest country in the world contrary to those who spread hatred across our lands. 

God Bless President Trump and Vice President Vance. Let the future begin now.

And God Bless America.

I Require Strength and Leadership And Not Cowardliness, Incompetence, and Failure. (Do You?)

 What a beautiful country we live in! When driving through rural towns, I am amazed at seeing the homes, farms and small stores and buildings that grace those areas.  When driving through bustling cities, I gawk at the size of massive office buildings and apartment and condo complexes in addition to the menagerie of stores, shops and restaurants, each one a testament to the belief of their owners in free enterprise and freedom.  The economic variety of what our country has to offer is endless.  Economic wealth and economic prosperity are enormous.  The American mind has developed and designed incredible inventions/technologies/tools to simplify our lives and help us live longer, healthier lives.  We take for granted our country and abundant lives. And many know and believe with me that all levels of our government continue to assert an autocratic and dictatorial rule of the towns, cities, states, and country via the oppression of non-elected, non-productive bureaucrats and their nurturing administrative state.  Personal freedoms such as freedom of speech, economic freedom and property rights have become endangered, especially over the past four years of the failed Democrat Biden-Harris administration. 

However, we are commanded to forget the oppressions of the last four and five years. Take the Covid-19 debacle (or as my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo refers to as “The First Attempted Communist Takeover”). Due to the failures, lies, frauds, murders of the elderly, and political obfuscations of King Gov. Ned Lamont The Unaccountable and his minions and henchmen, we are to forget any of this ever happened (Think: Is not “Turn The Page” an oft-heard term from Team Left?). But this is an Alinsky-esque model of how the left does business. Because the last four years of the failed Democrat Biden-Harris administration also. never happened.  Decay and destruction of our society and economy over the past four years never happened.  The putrid wreckage of our great cities, never happened. A massive loss of lives in a horrific and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan, unchecked illegal immigration. and illegals voting, and a never-ending illegal drug crisis never happened!  A $36,000,000,000,000.00 National Debt, fueled by an idiotic energy policy, with attendant runaway inflation doubling and tripling the cost of many necessities, never happened.  A re-education of our public school system focusing on politically correct and woke education and gender-confusion, apparently never happened!  Countless attempts to give away American Taxpayers monies for loan forgiveness of all types through Executive Orders, never happened!  Anti-Semitism, Jewish Hatred, an abandonment of the right of Israel to defend itself and unchecked anti-Israeli demonstrations never happened!  A demented President Joe Biden calling 250,000,000 Trump supporters “garbage”, was really Joe Biden stuttering, so calling these people "garbage", never happened!   This is the record the "joyful" and “forward moving" Vice President Harris and her incompetent, buffoon-esque and pro China Tim Walz sidekick are running on this coming Tuesday.  

Policy? There is none! Policy for this crowd is rooted in the “Rules for Radicals” of Saul Alinsky. (Turn the Page! Lie! Lie! Lie! Deny! Deny! Deny!. Blame the Other Guys for your screw-ups!) So have a party in trying to understand the platforms that Harris-Walz is running on.  Incoherent gibberish of socialist dreams and ideals coupled with word salad laughter while sprinkled with a mix of grunting against Trump and his "garbage" supporters using venom and hatred are all we hear.  We now have a laughable and completely false narrative of the past four years.  It just never happened! In this manner, we can embrace four more lost and dangerous years of the McDonald's employed Border Czar, as she is joyful, teleprompter-dependent, disguised and playacting the part of President of the United States of America.  No strength, no coherency, no energy, no policies, no foreign policies except for our enemies, and no leadership. This is exactly what the next four years will look like under a Harris-Walz regime.

 It is time for the silent majority to speak up.  America is on the line on November 5. We cannot afford as a country what we have just lived through for the past four years. Because of political beliefs, Conservatives have become a badly divided country according to our state-run media and its ill-tempered elitist supposed journalists.  Compromise is forbidden as beliefs and concepts that we were once taught as true, are now despised, and deemed forbidden by this minority of supercilious pompous asses now dictating to the majority what as to we can have and not have.  Americans are tired of this waste of our personal and natural resources.  Americans are tired of being lied to.  Americans are tired of seeing our enemies coddled while our friends are abandoned.  Instead, we need a new way forward of strength and leadership. 

It will happen again under a Trump-Vance administration.  And may Almighty God light the way for the preservation of the United States of America.

Voter Fraud (aka Standard Democrat Operating Procedure In Connecticut)

 Over the years, I have written about voter fraud as I have seen it facing ridicule, abuse, and derision for my position from those that are politically connected. But if anything, voter fraud has increased over time, spreading over the years to other parts of our country. Regardless of where it happens, it has the tacit blessing of the Democrat Party.  It is a sad day for our country when many Democrats believe that non-citizens somehow have the right to vote such as what is happening in Virginia and Minnesota (and probably Connecticut).  And this is wrong.  Dead wrong. And illegal. And unconstitutional. And grounds for evil practices and malfeasance

The Heritage Foundation has been tracking voter fraud cases in our country (https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/search?state=CT).  Connecticut has had numerous cases dating back to 1988 and the infamous Bridgeport State Senate Ernie Newton ballot fraud case.  In fact, in Connecticut, the bulk of fraudulent cases are from Bridgeport and have been going for almost 50 years, going back to Mayor John Mandanici’s people submitting ballots for dead people in the 1970s.  These egregious cases have been continually swept under the rug, laughed at, disregarded, and avoided at all costs by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Look at what happened with the 2023 Bridgeport Democrat Mayoral Primary and the stuffed absentee ballot fraud that took place, making Connecticut the butt of national jokes once again. But humility and shame are not emotions present in the makeup of a Connecticut Democrat where its a complete double-down on any fraudulent practice if it accomplishes the desired objective.

As just one recent example, Republican State Senator Rob Sampson has again decried the election fraud that seems to be constantly going on based on a recent unsealed complaint alleging that a Bridgeport city councilman convinced a non-citizen to illegally register to vote in 2023 and persuaded her to apply for an absentee ballot that he later cast for her.  His response to this new voter fraud issue was to the point “When will one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at our State Capitol admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees? And by the way: it is not just a ‘Bridgeport Problem.’ You can bet it has been happening in other municipalities. We need reform in Connecticut's absentee voting process. Republicans and I have been shouting from the rooftops about this for a long time prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment. Now, we have this news. Are you sick of seeing it? Then, as you head to the polls to vote, consider how Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ commonsense ideas to fix this obviously broken system. Absolutely nothing will change in Connecticut if you keep voting for Democrats.” (https://ctsenaterepublicans.com/2024/10/sen-sampson-statement-on-newly-unsealed-voter-registration-complaint/).  

Sampson was immediately condemned by the Connecticut Democrat Party for his comments, but more than arguably, why doesn’t the State Republican Party go one solid step farther and declare global war on voter fraud, by investigating and pursuing every reported occurrence of abuses?  For the abuses are sickening. Can Democrats explain to anyone why Bridgeport and its voting problems have gone on for almost 50 years with no reforms?  And can Democrats equally and completely deny with documentary proof that this form of voter fraud does not exist in other Connecticut municipalities especially with the absurd same day voter registration that exists in the state?  Democrats do not do so, because Democrats know exactly what they are doing and do nothing to stop it because fraud invariably accrues to their benefit.  As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo often says, its simple as that, (and regrettably, just as difficult).

Moreover, what is astounding to me is no one in this same “legitimate media” (or “political/media complex”) pursues other indicias of fraud to trace it to its root causes. Take Bridgeport. “Wanda The Ballot Stuffer” has been politically operating in Bridgeport over the course of several gubernatorial elections, several of which somehow changed overnight. Would it not be a reasonable question to ask if Wanda had her hand in several of these contests, such as the Lamont-Stefanowski debacle of 2018? Or take this past week. Rep. Greg Howard (R) of Stonington found his name omitted from early voting ballots. How is this grievous flaw possible? Who was responsible for printing the ballots? Is anyone responsible for proofreading ballots? Has this occurrence happened with others in the state. These are all very obvious and logical questions that stunningly, are never pursued by either politically connected individuals or state-run (and paid for), media.

 But take all of this in totality. This is the labyrinthine reality of voter fraud: Every fraudulent voter registration and/or questionable transaction could result in a fraudulent vote that in turn cancels out your legitimate vote and can influence the results of an election.  It is well-established that The Connecticut Democrat Party has their own "playbook" on voter fraud.  They love it and use it for their own gain.  Legal voters want their votes to actually count.  Because they do not in the political filth and grime of the corrupted Democrat controlled city of Bridgeport, CT, and its convicted Mayor.  And they do not count either in the omnipotent one-party ruled Democrat Party state of Connecticut, wherever these happenings occur. 

The fraud is in full view of our country to see and be disgusted by on a daily basis. And other than a blessed few, most connected to the fray accept all of this as standard operating procedure.
God help us all.

Functional Illiteracy, Incompetency, And The Inability To Answer A Question- The New Democrat Gold Standard

 You all know Vice President Kamala Harris. The shallow, smiling, giggling, and waving soul who smiles and laughs as she promises “Change” and “A New Way Forward”, “Joy” and “Turning The Page.” This saccharine, shallow person who has fostered doubts on all sides regarding her inability to function now has issues with answering any simple questions, especially when they involve her actions and reactions as being the Vice President for the past four years. All of these occurrences provide the sensation to an observer of watching an impending train wreck while being unable to stop it.

  Harris’ latest implosion was seen on a reality-based 26-minute question and answer interview with Fox News Brett Baier on Wednesday October 16, 2024.  The questions that were asked of her which would be asked of any aspirant to the highest office of the land, rattled Harris to an embarrassing end.  Her body language gave off a sense of anger, frustration, and inability to act.  Given questions that required clear and well-reasoned answers, Harris could not deflect her shortcomings with her standard condescending and supercilious mannerisms and her classic nervous laugh as she did debating President Trump. As no question was answered with any direct answer, Harris showed that she was unprepared for her interview reciting her standard gibberish remarks of her stale campaign during the 26-minute truncated session. However, during that time, she did manage to state the name “Donald Trump” 25 times while appearing continually nervous, rattled, and angered.  Are these the leadership qualities Americans want in their President in negotiating with foreign dictators and with Democrat-engendered world war on the horizon?  

God Help Us All.

As this painful session wore on, the disingenuous nature and incompetence of Harris was glaring. In watching the interview, one wondered how she never saw any decline in President Biden whatsoever, yet she had no problem accepting the coronation and ascension to her Presidential run when Biden backed out.  So, Harris really did not see anything wrong whatsoever with the President over the years? Really?  Who is kidding who in this situation?  What an unbelievable lie, one of the many of the failed and lie-filled Biden-Harris Administration.

Harris also wants us to believe that the unchecked border crisis is inexplicably the fault of President Trump.  She apparently had no indication during the interview that she was at first in favor of an open border and somehow came to the realization that she is against it and or has any recollection of the border being open for the past four years while she was the "proclaimed Border Czar”.  How stupid does she think the American Voter is?  And what about the families of the murder victims Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and Laken Riley among others?  The deaths of innocent women and others were not a direct result of the Biden-Harris border debacle policy, according to Harris.  The unaccountable attitude of Harris reeks. Harris owns this crisis and its results not President Trump.

But what is really new in how Harris conducted herself for her first real test before Mr. Baier? Incompetence, unaccountability, inability to answer questions and own up to blame. a complete lack of reasoning and offending citizens make up the new Democrat “Gold Standard" of governance. Take one look at the confused and befuddled "swagger man" Mayor Eric Adams, who single-handedly destroyed New York City the same way that Gov. Gavin Newsom has destroyed California. Or Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who weirdly made a “Tik-Tok” video with another woman playing a Christian receiving communion in the form of a Doritos chip, with Whitmer “serving” the chip and shrugging her shoulders. Or Rep. Joe Courtney of Eastern Connecticut, who will not apologize to the citizens he represents in Windham County, Connecticut for his act of legislative malpractice in blowing a tax-related Disaster declaration for 2023, costing these constituents untold thousands of dollars while executing one for his more “simpatico” New London County constituents as my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo is wont to point out. Or let us not forget Connecticut’s own “Gold Standard” in incompetence and ineffectiveness, King Gov. Ned Lamont The Unaccountable, who Tony points out could suspend the Eversource “Public Benefits” bill charge debacle with a stroke of his pen under an impending public health emergency, akin to what he did during Covid-19. But Ned is not financially invested in Eversource while he was invested in Covid with Sema4 so he has no incentive to govern. But it is undeniable that all of the aforementioned Democrats are invested in arrogance, incompetence, ineffectiveness, and obfuscation. citizen be damned.

 But in returning to Harris, the failed Democrat Biden=Harris Administration helped to create the current crisis of Kamala Harris and her non electability.  I must also point out, which never reached this same interview, was how Harris could explain the economics of the past four years that she now disowns.   Please stop lying to yourself. You are not better off economically than you were in 2021, contrary to all the new economic bells and whistles of the Harris-Walz campaign.  America's Voters are not going to elect an incoherent and unintelligible Democrat team that has no focus, direction and or functional policies to put forth to the country.  The Democrat Party relies upon the same tried thrashing of all things Donald J. Trump and his followers.  It has become a sick and sad bore to listen to for the past eight years. 

 Good riddance to the bad rubbish for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the political zombies of their Administration.  Welcome President Trump and Vice President Vance.

Dr. Michael Goldstein For United States House of Representatives CT-4

Dr. Michael Goldstein, a Republican, is running for United States Congressional Representative in Connecticut's 4th district.  He is running against Democrat power broker Jim Himes who is the current US Representative since 2009.  Himes has been in office for 15 years now and really has not much to show in those years in Congress as he seems to like to condemn and belittle all things President Trump and the Republican Party.  His rhetoric and lack of results for the citizens of Connecticut's 4th district should not be tolerated any longer.  Himes offers little in solutions and has done little for his district in 15 years.

Dr. Goldstein offers a much different representation for this district.  His fresh ideas and common sense approach to solving problems is needed for the difficult times that have we have suffered through for the past four years from the horrific Biden-Harris administration and its failed policies.

As stated from his website: "Over the past 30 Years, Connecticut has become a bureaucratic empire mismanaged by the majority of its elected officials that continue to saddle this great state with debt while driving good tax payers and industries out of the state in search of better economic opportunities.

  I am running for Congress as I am tired of seeing the Democrats of this Constitution State not abiding by the constitution and will do everything I can to prevent the state from becoming the next Detroit.  I am also extremely concerned about rising anti-semitism and hate speech plaguing this country in our streets and on our college campuses.

I am all about protecting your freedoms. We are here to protect your freedoms as parents and your right to make the best decision for your children, your medical rights, and the protection of your inalienable rights.
 

The issues facing most Americans are not partisan. They include not being bankrupt from filling our gas tanks, heating our houses and feeding our children. The fact that there is no plan to address these pocketbook issues and improve the lives of our children is unacceptable. Our children need the best quality education possible not indoctrination. Parents have the absolute right to fight for that." (https://goldsteinforcongress.com/#09a7381b-a1e7-4b31-bc60-85d83b457f52)


It is truly time for a change in the United States House of Representatives.  Jim Himes probably has not gone grocery shopping for years now and doesn't seem to understand how our economy works.  Dr. Goldstein offers a realistic view of society and economy through his real world work and life experiences.  It is time for a change this November.  Connecticut's 4th District needs a change for the better with new representation from Dr. Michael Goldstein.  He has earned your vote on Election Day.

The Vice President Harris Implosion (or, There Is No Joy In Mudville, After All)

I guess it was fun while it lasted. The "joy" and Utopia of the handpicked, elitist, and manufactured Democrat Party Executive ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are imploding daily. The campaign, along with its simpatico “media partners” are doing all they can not to display the sitting Vice President without carefully scripted and rehearsed events. The results of those same scripted and rehearsed events are not what the campaign handlers and consultants imagined. Has Kamala Harris really been the Vice President for the past four years and is completely denying the events that have damaged our country, economy and world form her Administration's actions/policies? Is she so shallow and frivolous that her most noted “appearance” of the week was on the sex podcast “Call Her Daddy?” Is she so mentally incoherent to not explain how any one of her “economic policies” is economically viable? This is now the case, thereby turning the campaign of “joy” into a campaign of laughable fiction, if such a situation is the least bit funny.

It is now quite obvious that Vice President Harris has difficulty in expressing herself as she prates on with exceptional nervousness in what are often referred to as "word salads,” as she insultingly cackles through the incoherent gibberish she is spewing. But she has a hostile side. When she wants to seem serious, she can play a mean and condescending shrew as we saw in her performing arts debate against President Trump. At any time, Harris knows enough to play to what she thinks her audience wants her to be. Like a bad "Grade B" actress, she has used different accents, different facial expressions, different body language, different inflections, and different platforms that contradict one another, and different personal backgrounds recited to fit the moment turning her into a true political chameleon and machinator of the highest degree. At any time, her bombast can lead to a new Kamala Harris character, a character that was never the character of the sitting Vice President for the past four years.

Her accomplishments as part of the Biden-Harris Administration are recited to be endless. If one looks at these "accomplishments", one will clearly see that they have been abysmal and profound failures in both our country and the world. Apparently the following events never occurred in the fantasy world of Kamala Harris; the horrors of the now open border that has help to nurture a massive illegal drug and human trafficking crisis, a massive inflation rate along with an ever growing National Debt, a new fiscal 2024 budget deficit of $1.83 trillion dollars with interest payments accounting for roughly 14 cents of every dollar spent by the Federal government, multiple international wars/conflicts/human sufferings, horrifically botched disaster recovery, and a failed green energy policy that has done much more harm than good. What world has she been living in for the past four years?

But Harris does have the advantage of synchronized sycophants. It's sad that one thing that Democrats and Marxists do much better for their people than Republicans do for theirs is cover and provide a continual barrage of hostility and disinformation for Harris in much greater volume than Republicans have ever provided for President Trump. A tour of X-Twitter will be replete with the constant shameful and brainless hostilities of the likes of Bob Duff, Matt Lesser, Rosa DeLauro and the esteemed serial incompetent Sen. Chris Murphy. Most of these exercises in modern-day graffiti are often deranged. But they are present, while Republican push-back against the same is often soft and weak if not silent. It is all a blot on what government is in 2024, but with this amount of bile and vitriol present, we all can agree that there is no “joy” present in that camp anywhere at all for them to be spewing that amount of continued hostility.

But joy often evaporates in confusion and mismanagement. If Kamala Harris is not Joe Biden than can she explain how? If Tim Walz is not Kamala Harris, can he explain how? If Kamala Harris had no say whatsoever in the Biden-Harris Administration policies and ideologies, can she explain what she did for the past four years other than gag it up on talk shows and preach to sad and weak-willed young women on personal anxieties? Kamala Harris is a frightening example of a failed two-party political system. Her creation and ascent to run for what used to be one of the most important and demanding political offices in our country is frightening. Appeasing the ultra-liberal and socialist part of the Democrat Party through the deal made for her Vice Presidency, to the appeasing of the same ultra-liberal and socialist part of the Democrat Party for her Presidential run is an insult to our country. Whatever her background/education/experiences/political positions she has, she is just a puppet and fabrication and creation of a failed bureaucratic Democrat Party.

The handlers of Kamala Harris see the defeat and nonperformance of her campaign. The tide has turned, and the implosion continues through November 5th.

And there is no Joy in Mudville, after all.

I WILL CRIPPLE YOU- Job No. 1 of the Democrat Party And It’s Union Partners


It is quite clear to many that the Democrat Party of 2024 dislikes economic stability and or economic prosperity, except for their chosen few. It is also quite clear that the Democrat Party of 2024 dislikes the working men and women of this country. Lastly, it certainly appears to many that the Democrat Party of 2024 has a great desire to inflict as much pain and suffering it can on these same working men and women of our economy and those on fixed incomes by their robust endorsement of the (now-delayed) strike by the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) at all of the thirty-six (36) Eastern and Gulf Coast ports in our country.

According to official accounts, this strike is centered on the apparent minuscule pay and benefits that the ILA earns. The Longshoremen are demanding a 77% pay increase over six years that will raise the base hourly wage for its members from $39 to $69 over this period. It has been reported by the Port of New York and New Jersey Regulator of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor that more than half of 3,726 dockworkers earned more than $150,000 a year in Fiscal 2020, with almost one in five earning over $250,000 a year. The report also stated: "Based on the industry's reported figures, the Commission has again identified over 590 individuals who collectively received over $147.6 million dollars last year in outsized salaries, or for hours they never worked." (https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_b6346692-801e-11ef-be8b-3fc6dd725881.html)

The ILA is led by a Runyon-esque man named Harold Daggett. A recent video of Mr. Daggett posted on social media quoted him as stating, “I will cripple you” in reference what this strike would do to the United States economy. Why does Mr. Daggett want to "cripple" us and the economy? Did we as taxpaying citizens do something to upset this "leader" of the ILA union? The same leader who owns a 7,000 square foot home, drives a Bentley, earns over $910,000 a year as head of the union and recently sold his yacht (https://nypost.com/2024/10/02/business/harold-daggetts-sprawling-nj-mansion-has-bentley-5-car-garage-and-guest-house/). One can argue that he is far removed from the legal working middle class citizens of our country and economy. But hey! He wants to "cripple" us and our economy and has the blessing of President Biden and Vice President Harris along with the Democrat Party.

Curiously, President Biden has also stated that he would have not invoked the Taft-Hartley Act to end the strike in using an 80-day cooling off period, where both sides would have gone back to the negotiating table without fanfare or attention. The strike, if it had continued, would have cost our economy untold billions upon billions of dollars, and would have created a new round of inflation.

Thus, this type of strike may be a difficult concept for some non-ILA union members to support since those union members do not make an extremely high salary. Inflation is the same for these ILA members making their high salaries as compared to their much lower income non-ILA union members and for those non-union, non-special employees who toil daily in our economy. The ILA arguments of its "travesty of economic justice" are falling on deaf ears especially for those citizens of our country who have lost everything they own and worked for from Hurricane Helene, especially as they starve and die at the feet of an uncaring government. Since the ILA controls labor contracts on the docks, any innovation that could make the docks more efficient and thus lower the costs of the products shipped to the docks, could be passed on to consumers in the form of lower costs. But jobs must be justified, so that type of innovation is forbidden. The union still demands guarantees of “no modernization nor automation” to preserve these above equilibrium jobs for its 50,000 plus members and for its leaders, much like the “rubber room” strategy employed by the United Auto Workers years back, with such strategy having a great hand in the collapse of the domestic auto industry in 2009.

Of course, no analysis of labor and management relations can be complete without commentary as to what the labor and management relationships are like in Connecticut. Connecticut! A state that is owned by its public unions. A state where 40% of the state budget goes to pay municipal pensions, with most of the retirees now residing in other tax-free jurisdictions. A state where Democrat politicians marched in an Omni Hotel picket line for a “photo op” effectively destroying that picket in embarrassment, leaving labor to solve their own situation without this useless “political support.” A state where the Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz defiantly said on X that she would have “done the same (picket) thing all over again” after the Omni debacle, showing absolutely no regard for her poor plebian subjects. Connecticut! A state where Covid money somehow always ends up in union coffers. And a state where the poisoned educational unions continue to dilute and ruin education. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo describes labor and management relations as a “board game” in Connecticut, however I respectfully disagree with Tony in that it is only a game if both players have an equal chance of winning.

Maybe just maybe in 2024 it is time to rethink and reevaluate an antiquated system of harbor shipping and commerce along with all the other one-sided labor dealings that are all so familiar to us. Technology runs our economy whether unions believe it or not. Just maybe, the Biden-Harris regime and their useless ideologies, toadies, lackeys, and sycophants could be set aside once since their regime began and put Americans and the American economy first. The Biden-Harris regime seems to enjoy watching legal Americans fight for their survival whether it has been an open border crisis, a human trafficking crisis, a pandemic crisis, a National Debt crisis, a runaway inflation crisis, war in the Middle East crisis, and much more. And comically this is the true record of all new and reinvented Kamala Harris. And, as a sneak preview King Governor Ned Lamont The Unaccountable or his successor will continue to feed the state union cookie monster’s financial demands in exchange for continuing votes. But while Kamala Harris will now cry victory, and we are now reprieved, we are soon headed for more deceptions, lies and a horrific way forward, as we will soon see a new port crisis of her own making regardless of who is elected.

Free America from being crippled by union and political upper crust and the illuminati that have ruined our country for many years.

The “New Way Forward?” It Is To Repeat All The Economic Mistakes By Government Of The Past Four Years

What is economics? Simply defined, it is the study of how people allocate scarce resources for production, distribution, and consumption both individually and collectively. Economics interfaces with politics, government, law, and business. Economics has two branches; macroeconomics and microeconomics. Efficiencies in both production and exchange create a balance or equilibrium between supply and demand in free markets. Economics is a simplistic but complex social science that is sometimes misunderstood. And sadly, our economic system is sometimes horribly impeded by our elected officials and non-elected bureaucrats, who often exhibit little to no understanding of this social science.
Our economic system can also be viewed in respect to creating a “ripple effect” in our economy that helps to create economic growth and prosperity as I discussed with my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo sub-hosting on 94.9’s “Lee Elci Show” this past Thursday For example, you wish to buy a new car to replace your old one. You sell your old car to a person who is looking for a vehicle that is less expensive than a new car and will only cost him the $7,500 you are asking for it. He pays you with a bank check that you deposit in your checking account. The first economic impact of this transaction is fulfilled with you selling your used vehicle at a price that you have deemed to be fair for its value and the person you sold it to is satisfied with that price and with the utility or satisfaction he or she received in buying it. You, in turn, withdraw the $7,500 from your account and place a down payment on a new car that suits your needs, costing you $40,000 in its new condition. Therefore, a ripple effect starts with the car dealership earning a profit on the sale of the car and the salesperson earning income and or a commission by selling the car providing money to pay his bills for that month. When you return the car back to the dealership for service you help employ mechanics that earn an income from servicing your vehicle along with the service technician who waits on you, writes up, and coordinates the service itself. Parts from manufacturers are used in your vehicle that help create economic profit when they are sold to the dealer and retailed to you. Thus, we see economic activity via the functions of a ripple effect along with supply and demand balances or equilibrium taking place in the marketplace with you and your vehicle. Income and profits occur that help fuel economic growth. You receive utility in your new car and now feeling secure in traveling, you consider taking your family on a vacation many miles away.

It is my bet that only a slim minority of any politicians understand even this simple economic example above, but to the matter at hand, Does Kamala Harris understand economics? Would she as a potential POTUS be able to understand this simple example I just gave? I really must wonder in review of her "new" 82 page "New Way Forward" economic plan that she has just revealed. To me, her plan is warmed-over Bidenomics on steroids and gives the strong appearance of written by biased students using AI. (https://(kamalaharris.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Policy_Book_Economic-Opportunity.pdf). As someone who has studied and taught economics for many years, I am frankly scared by this document as it is the usual stale Democrat Party economic gibberish that continues to destroy our economy especially those who work for a living, only this time using more spending.

The Harris "New Way Forward" economic plan includes many of the failed economic policies utilized during the tenure of her Vice Presidency, assuming she understood any of them in the least. To describe her 82 pages in more simplistic terms the “plan” consists of the usual, new and higher taxes, new and higher transfer payments, taxes on unrealized capital gains, more green energy subsidies, price and rent controls, less coverage with higher premiums under Obamacare, more student loan forgiveness, and much more in the way of a free-money candy-land. Reading the report is confusing to me. For example, from Page 9 a Yale economist using estimates from the Budget Lab at Yale and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, emphasize Harris’s plan is more fiscally responsible. They note: “Any fair fiscal comparison shows this election is not a close call. If the deficit is your top issue, Harris is the clear choice End note #9 cites Sarin, Natasha. “How would Trump and Harris affect U.S. debt? The difference is huge.” The Washington Post. September 13, 2024. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin-ions/2024/09/13/harris-trump-deficit-debt. To this pap/ claptrap, my question is didn't the National debt and budget deficit grow to record amounts under the Harris Vice Presidency? Is that not factual? So how is it possible that the same basic economic policies with all the entitlement programs, giveaways, no cost loans, tax credits, failed green energy programs and loan forgiveness do not dramatically increase the National Debt to even higher proportions? Could this mysterious unnamed "Yale economist" explain this to the American Taxpayer? Or is he or she comfortable in the cushy existence of being paid by a huge endowment making prognostications without suffering any negative effects from the same?

The statements become even more unsupported and bizarre: "Unlike Trump, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. They will shore up Social Security and Medicare so that these essential programs will stay solvent in the long run by making corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share in taxes." (Page 69). Does Harris mean that Corporate and wealthy individual Democrat Party political donors will be singled out to pay these higher taxes to pay for Social Security and Medicare? Or will they be able to continue to lobby for their tax exemptions and breaks as they have been for many years? Does this mean Nancy Pelosi will disclose her tax statements to show either how little (likely) or how much (unlikely) she pays in federal taxes? Magically under the Harris Vice Presidency of the past four years, she was not able to shore up Social Security and Medicare but again it is somehow President Trump's fault for this crisis that under her Vice Presidency grew unabated and exacerbated. Give us all a break.

In reading this train-wreck of a manifesto, I have set my hourglass to wonder how long it will be before some of the Connecticut local politicians, understanding nothing at all about economic principles, tout this plan as the solution. My only question is who will this bold stalwart be? Will it be Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, who will make a tweet out of it to show his hatred for President Trump? Will it be ”Businessman Governor” King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable, who during his watch has seen more business leave the state or close than in any time in state history? Or will it be Comptroller Sean Scanlon, who showed his knowledge of sound fiscal policy and present value mathematics by dividing the debt into a small currently due portion, deferring the balance as it accrued even greater interest cost, and then he was touted by the state-run media and the “bipartisan” legislature as “The Man That Solved The State Deficit.” As I often say, the Connecticut Apple rests on the trunk of the poisoned National tree when it comes to matters of economics.

This 82 page "New Way Forward" thesis/AI/Chat GPT, drool and muck, is a Utopian lie of more socialism and economic restriction for our country and is the norm for the Democrat Party platforms. Voters need to understand that Kamala Harris has been the Vice President for the past four years covering for the incompetent and mentally senile Joe Biden and they are responsible for the runaway inflation and runaway increases in the National Debt, not President Trump. The 82 page "New Way Forward" is more like the "Old Way Backwards Warmed Over" and contains little if anything "new" economically to move "forward". It would be refreshing to see some "new" economic thought such as a plan to balance the yearly budget, a plan to pay down the $35 trillion dollar National Debt, a plan to realistically cut taxes for the working middle class, a plan to eliminate Taxpayers monies being paid out fraudulently to individuals and businesses who wish to defraud our government, a plan to make health care affordable again, a plan to stop using Taxpayers monies to prop up our foreign enemies and a plan to restore our free market system while lessening the sickening 24% Federal control of our Gross Domestic Product. It can be done, but politically Vice President Harris does not have the abilities nor the background to change her failed ways. Truly enough is enough of the Democrats control of our economy and its Taxpayers.

Does Government For The People Exist Any More?

I wonder what has happened to our government.  Does our government represent you and I, the common taxpayers in our society? The past four years at the Federal and Connecticut level have seen an enormous amount of governing by fiat; executive orders on anything and everything that can buy votes and or satisfy a political donor base.  We have seen a continual disregard of law through numerous dictates from the Biden-Harris and King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable administrations including (but not limited to) energy independence, an open and unchecked border, an elimination of student loan debt, runaway inflation, a deadly illegal drug crisis, rampant homelessness due to governmental incompetence, a $35 trillion dollar National Debt crisis, a failed and costly green energy at all costs policy, dilution of personal rights, attempted assassinations of a Presidential candidate, national security blunders, and much, much more.  This is not the latest news to anyone.  Bad and incoherent decisions at the national level by a President who is a shell of his former self along with an unprepared, speech stumbling (and possibly impaired) Vice President has placed our country in danger and vulnerable to a loss of personal freedoms and war with communist/totalitarian countries.  We are in great peril at this time in our nation's history at about every level of our government.  

Again, I still wonder what happened to our government.  Many taxpayers and legal citizens feel a total disconnect with their government and questionable actions.  They feel they have been lied to by politicians who were elected to represent all people in their district, town and or city.  That is no longer the case except for certain exceptions.  Many politicians today have a clear-cut agenda that if you disagree with it, you are treated a leper to society.  One excellent example of this is the unchecked hatred by many in our government against a free Israel and the freedom of religion for those of the Jewish faith.  Another example was the severe economic destruction forced by Connecticut's government during the Covid-19 debacle.  How many lives and businesses were destroyed by the draconian executive orders issued by The Unaccountable?   To this day no one knows how much profit was made through no bid contracts by the state with companies that were owned by his family's hedge fund Oak HC/FT.  How much was it?  Who else in the political universe cashed in? And why does no elected official whatsoever join my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo who has doggedly and continually pursued these questions since the onset.

As is the usual part for the Connecticut course, no constructive differences are seen anywhere as compared to the sad and sick National scene. Last week, a labor action at the New Haven Omni became a Connecticut political celebrity show as vain and exploitative Democrat politicians were photographed on the picket line until they were embarrassed and shamed on radio and Twitter. This forced the picket to be dissolved and moved inside, thus having the laborers lose momentum and credibility as they suffered by the the self-gratifying gluttony of the state masters. As Tony pointed out on the September 17 “Lee Elci Show” on 94.9, this conduct violates every ethical premise whatsoever of the role of an elected official in a labor matter which is not to take sides. Also, there was a visit ten miles off of the state border by President Trump at a Long Island rally on September 18 that drew interest from over 60,000 people. Yet, no mention of this was made on Channels 8, 3, 30, or 61. Nor was there any disclosure of this significant event from either state political party. Why? Is Donald Trump not the GOP Presidential Candidate? If you are a Democrat, is Donald Trump not an existential threat to you, and now he would be so (so) close to you that you need to call the police you diluted and defunded to protect you from him? But chances are, you never knew about the rally as your political betters felt you did not need to know and they controlled the state run news outlets accordingly. Why? Because you do not matter. They know better. You are a citizen.  And citizen, be damned.

But wait, this all gets better for you. Taxpayers must also hear the daily unhinged rhetoric of Connecticut’s State Senator Duff and United States Senator Chris Murphy as they continually spew ignominious hatred of President Trump and all who disagree with them.  Senator Murphy is one of the prime hit men for the Democrat Party in his incoherent gibberish he spurts and spouts about President Trump and the Republican party.  One needs to remind the Senator that his party has been in charge over the past four years and owns the problems we have in 2024.  Do both Senators not realize that they may have legal voters and taxpayers who support President Trump of whom they have a duty to represent?  And don't these same legal voters and taxpayers have a right to freedom of speech and belief in their support of President Trump?  Or is that not allowed any more especially with two assassination attempts on President Trump's life?  I no longer see the Democrat Party especially with puppets like Murphy and Duff representing legal voters and taxpayers, as the conduct of fine and responsible Democratic leaders of the past like Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy is probably on the way to be excised from the revisionist history books.

Politicians can never take responsibility for their incoherent and hurtful actions as taxpayers serve our political class especially in Connecticut and other blue states.  Our government is crumbling before us with a constant stream of disjointed and muddled pomposity that we are force fed daily by our elected officials and an obedient state-run media. Your government exists now only for a ruling elite, a similar ruling elite that we broke away from England from in 1776.  The mental beating up of taxpayers is tiring and unjustifiable by its government.  That is the situation we are in 2024.  A government where the citizen is damned while the elected official reigns unchecked and authoritarian in its omnipotent rule.  We have a massive disconnect in our society with our government and its citizens.  The time is now to put an end to this disgrace of democracy.  Because enough is indeed, enough.

The Insult Parade Debate That Wasn't- Harris Versus Trump


Apparently, there was an monumental Armageddon debate this past week between the two Presidential candidates that was anything but that. Vice-President Kamala Harris, through major help from ABC News correspondents David Muir and Linsey Davis, was able to bait President Donald Trump throughout the debate and fact check him at will. In the attack by this coordinated triumvirate, there was absolutely no fact checking on anything that was said by the Vice-President during the proceedings. The debate was a subdued shouting match that did little to persuade the voting public, most of whom have their minds made up already as to who they will vote for. Other than the egregious and improper actions by the moderators, nothing new was shown to the American public.
If one were searching for a clear winner, many think that the winner was the Vice-President regardless of the magniloquence and prevarication she spewed during the debate. In this connection, there are several examples that have been noted and should be looked at again at this time. For example, the Vice-President completely ducked the first question as to if she felt Americans were better off under her regime than they were four years ago. Later, she made the statement that “(she) was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking.” This, was an outright lie. Hasn't this administration fought fracking from the first day they took office? Wasn't it a fact that West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin's demanded a provision to be placed in this bill that forced the government from holding offshore wind sales unless it auctioned off a certain amount of offshore area for oil and gas? The intention of this provision was to adjust our national energy supply by continuing fracking. Furthermore, did not the Biden-Harris Administration cancel all the planned 47 offshore oil and gas lease sales that President Trump had approved? And sadly, this provision by Senator Manchin yielded only three new sales for the 2024–2029-time frame. This is the Vice-President’s anti-fracking, anti-fossil fuel energy policy in full view. Also please keep in mind that the Biden-Harris Administration supports buying oil from the Dictator of Venezuela Maduro to prop up his regime. But regardless, there were no questions raised by the surrogate Democrat administration of Muir-Davis at this lie, as they gleefully with much joy shredded President Trump for the sake of Team Democracy.

Rather than describing any one policy position even conceptually, the Vice-President seemed to be occupied solely with hostile and well-rehearsed rhetoric for the battle to discredit President Trump at all costs by bringing up “critical issues” such as the size of his campaign rallies and the many legal issues he has fought for the past four years that were engendered and blessed by the her own Biden-Harris Administration. When the viewer tried to understand the Vice-President’s stances on economic and social positions, such were either limited in nature, or in many cases not even touched upon. In all candor, the Vice-President revealed a severe lack of character by her continual affronts, barbs, insults, condescension, and sarcasm towards President Trump when addressing any opposition to her failed bombast. This debate proved little to most Americans. Instead of clearly articulating where she stands on pressing issues, little if anything was revealed. Just vote for her and you will find out then. But are you surprised? This is the Biden-Harris-Bernie Sanders playbook taken from the master Saul Alinsky in his “Rules for Radicals,” being to just lie and deny and all is justified because the cause is noble and just, integrity and honesty, be damned.

What was even more reaffirming of this twisted Democrat mission were some of the X-Twitter comments by the esteemed Connecticut Democrat leadership regarding the debate. “They are laughing at the weak manbaby” tweeted Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff on September 11. “What a broken man” tweeted House Majority Leader Jason Rojas during the debate, “Let’s Not Go Back” tweeted State Senator Matt Lesser on September 10. Typical to the Democrat playbook, none of these gentlemen made any references to policy or procedure, because there never is any such thing coming from them. Unfortunately, voters in the once-great Nutmeg state are used to this pattern of the Democrat satellite never straying far from the Mothership when it comes down to the Democrat conduct of business as usual.

Nonetheless, it is clear for this election to understand that Democrat policies of the past four years did not work, so the dictate of the Global Democrat Mothership is a resort to character assassination. Devoid of sound policy and governance, it is now a defining trait of Democrat candidates to ambush, bombard, charge and siege all things Donald Trump, conservative, Judeo-Christian or even American for that matter. The incessant attacks continue upon a President that proceeded to improve our economy, make our country stronger militarily, respected the hardworking common man and woman and has a deep love for our country when he served from 2017 to 2020. Anyone in his or her right mind has witnessed the destruction of our country from 2021-2024 that I never believed would be possible in my lifetime. We now live in a country on the brink of economic ruin with a $35 trillion dollar National Debt, runaway inflation, a “green energy policy” at all costs, unchecked illegal immigration from an open border unchecked by its Vice-Presidential "border czar", an illegal drug crisis, an abortion fixation, laws that no longer pertain to a ruling elite and the anti-Israel/pro Hamas nightmare that does not cease nor will ever do so with a "two-state" solution which by definition would mean the end of Israel, the greatest ally of the United States. This is not the America that we want, or we deserve. The Biden-Harris Administration has failed America. The serially incompetent Kamala Harris does not deserve or warrant any more time in elected office as her policies and lack of integrity and imagination have severely damaged our country. This debate if anything solidified support for the Trump-Vance Administration and a much better future for America.

Democrat Chris Murphy versus Republican Matt Corey The David Versus Goliath Matchup of 2024

Quirky and unstable Democrat United States Senator Chris Murphy may be lonely.  So much so, that he wants to help people with their perceived loneliness.  He appears to not wish to be a Senator for life like his partner, Vietnam Veteran Senior Senator Socialist Richard Blumenthal.  Senator Murphy is running for re-election as Junior Senator from Connecticut and in a sad reflection to the state, has been a Senator since 2013.  Senator Murphy has never held a genuine job in his life, as he lists his profession as a lawyer and author, but his employment has been mostly paid for by Taxpayers as a Democrat office holder his entire career. Chris Murphy has been as State Representative, State Senator, U.S. Congressman, and now U.S. Senator since 1999.  Since the start of his “government service” Senator Murphy has not done much in political career as far as creating bills, legislating and/or helping the people in Connecticut in the view of many. However, he has been exceptional in getting in front of the media in spewing incoherent gibberish daily, leading the weak minded to believe he is an expert on anything and everything in Connecticut. Therefore, this unstable conduct and faux sense of humanitarianism makes him guaranteed to be re-elected in the minds of the Democrat Party. Moreover, his frequent game of show and tell on Twitter and the daily crucifixion off all things Donald Trump and Republican obviously make Senator Murphy the ordained Senator for Life, as it may allow him to continue his career of “public service.” This particular "public service" con game is good for Senator Murphy, as he has otherwise never held real and gainful employment.  
But since this is Connecticut, why should we deal in any kind of fact? That said, I am pleased to report that the 2024 campaign seems to be running smoothly for Senator Murphy and his Democrat Party.  Even though the election is over two months away we are led to believe that Senator Murphy has already been re-elected, his upcoming election is merely a formality, and somehow Kamala Harris also has been coronated as the new President via proxy by the Democrat Party ruling council. In a pattern all too familiar to legitimate citizens in Connecticut, the Democrat Party operatives and the state-run and biased media are trying their hardest to silence all opposing voices, reminiscent of what has just happened with the rigged election in Venezuela for Strongman Dictator Maduro.  But defying all the premises of Peter’s Management Principle of being promoted to one’s highest level of incompetence, somehow Senator Murphy is violating that principle and is contemplated as the new Secretary of State for the Harris Administration. This is the same Senator Murphy that apparently did not think anything was wrong with the past four years of the feeble and incredibly inept Biden-Harris Administration as he was a strong cheerleader for all of the economic, social, and global failures it has presided over since 2021, like the failed Afghanistan withdrawal, open borders, a new illegal drug crisis, runaway inflation, a $35 trillion dollar National Debt, open borders, rampant crime, destroyed cities, and a simmering powder keg of regional wars.  But undeterred, Chris Murphy's magic manic mantra is a cadence of gibberish repeating that anti-business policies, anti-gun policy, gun control at all costs and higher taxes will save us all. His supposed qualifications for Secretary of State are comical to say the least, but unfortunately this would not be the first time an evil incompetent from Connecticut somehow reached the Presidential Cabinet.
But what happens if Murphy loses the election? I have been criticized for stating this as apparently, he is already the winner. But what happens if his Republican opponent, a working business owner, conservative and primary winner by the name of Matt Corey runs an exceptional race this election and defeats Senator Murphy? By all appearances, Corey epitomizes the concepts of hard work, grit, and determination in a classic David versus Goliath confrontation where it is hoped by many that Corey stands up aggressively and loudly to those who are tired of being mocked and ridiculed by the stoic, vapid, and failed leaders of the Democrat Party of Connecticut.
My review of Corey’s policy package reflects realistic and useful proposals and platforms that will actually help the working middle class of the state of Connecticut. Some of his ideas include, (but are not limited to), supporting Connecticut’s private insurance industry, controlling taxes and spending, expanding apprenticeship programs to expand job opportunities, stopping taxation of Social Security payments, securing our borders, and respect and support for our law enforcement men and women. These policies are diametrically opposed to the continual gibberish of Senator Murphy. One must never forget that Senator Murphy was a spokesperson for the past four failed years of the Biden-Harris Administration and prior to that condemned all things President Trump. He has fought to get police and security officers out of school with his irrational and illogical “Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act” back in 2020. How useless that act was this past week in Georgia where a school resource officer shot an assailant before he murdered more people.
So, what will happen in November?  Will Senator Murphy debate Candidate Corey?  Why won't he?  A candidate will win, and a candidate will lose both in the debate and in the election. On appearance, Republican candidate Matt Corey represents a much-needed change in the United States Senate as he has served in our military, worked several blue-collar jobs, and owns his own business. He has real world depth and experiences that make him incredibly unique as compared to the decayed and spoiled typical career politicians that are constantly cloned out of the Democrat Party. Never a new thought, never a solution, and bellows of disrespect and ridicule for anyone who disagrees with them are all the standard of the "leaders" of the Democrat Party today. Senator Murphy echoes those qualities in his daily diatribes and fulmination of all things President Trump and the Republican Party. It is a bore and chore to listen to his continual venom and toxin.  
 
But let us be candid in the fact that given Senator Murphy’s mythic status in the Democratic machine, Corey must fight a David-like. aggressive, and outsized non-traditional  campaign in order to win, while going far beyond the litany of past Republican candidates who did nothing more than fight weak, unconvincing and muddled campaigns bereft of policy. Moreover, in my estimation, Corey must establish a bright line between himself and Senator Murphy and must be a champion for the social, economic, and most critical energy policies of President Donald Trump. If Corey is unafraid and committed, Connecticut at last could finally have some real representation in the United States Senate.
 
In conclusion, the possibility of defeating Senator Murphy will never be as good as it is right now. That said, I hope that Matt Corey boldly steps out of the mold of past Connecticut Republican candidates to defeat our serially incompetent Senator Murphy this November.

The Real “Project 2025”- (aka The Hope of Americans To Afford Groceries in 2025)


I do not know many people who can survive without eating food. Over the past four years, we've experienced runaway inflation under the economically bereft and failed Biden-Harris administration. In economic theory, this inflation is supposedly easing, but it has allowed soaring prices to persist, especially for food. Vice President Kamala Harris, the newly appointed presidential candidate, has stated that she wants to eliminate "price gouging" at grocery stores through a magical formula of price controls that will somehow lower food prices and mystically make them more affordable. However, we know little about this program other than the classic liberal rhetoric that anyone and everyone in business is evil, especially if they seek to earn a profit to merely pay their bills.
Does the esteemed Vice President realize that her party has mandated above-equilibrium minimum wages in many states eliminating jobs and causing the prices of goods, especially food, to rise? Does she understand that the cost of the grain to feed chickens has doubled over the past few years? Does she know what a "profit margin" is and how unchecked and barbaric retail shoplifting can eliminate profit margins for many retailers, especially grocery stores? Does she have any clue whatsoever that the increased costs of energy are a direct burden on the costs of goods and services and their delivery? Profits are impermissible and taboo unless they benefit the Democrat Party's political apparatus, such as King Ned Lamont "the Unaccountable" Lamont and his family's myriad investments and hedge fund, millionaire heiress Nancy Pelosi, anti-capitalist multi-millionaire and multi-business owner Gavin Newsom, millionaire President Biden with his corrupt son's pay-to-play phone calls, “Multi-Millionaire Man of The People” Comrade Senator Richard Blumenthal, or Socialist millionaire Rosa DeLauro. Price controls are defined as "a government regulation establishing a maximum price to be charged for specified goods and services, especially during periods of war or inflation." Throughout history, it is clearly determined that price controls do not work, as anyone in the Democrat Party would realize if they bothered to research American economic history more closely, particularly during the 1970s. The price controls under both the Nixon and Carter administrations were abysmal failures, leading to even higher prices and shortages of gas and oil. For those old enough to remember, there were long lines at gas stations and great shortages of gas and diesel fuel during the two Arab oil embargoes. These shortages were exacerbated by price controls on gas and oil enacted during this time, rather than allowing the free market to explore and drill for more domestic oil to reduce our dependency on foreign OPEC oil. When President Reagan took office, he eliminated price controls, resulting in increased supply, lower prices, and a major boom in the automotive industry, particularly for the near-bankrupt Chrysler Corporation.
Presidential candidate Harris apparently contradicts her role as Vice President in her coronation as President, as she seems to believe that our economy is still struggling with inflation. She is now a declared candidate who is disowning her record as Vice President and creating yet another fabrication of stale and copied ideas as her own, including price controls to curb food inflation. Her Vice Presidency has helped to cripple many parts of our economy with unchecked federal spending that offers scant results, a failing green energy agenda without any cost restriction, abortion at all costs to the American taxpayer, a $35 trillion national debt, and a deep-rooted dislike and disdain for any American taxpayer who disagrees with her party's progressive, socialist, and communist decrees and ideals.
Price controls always carry unintended consequences, and we are only seeing the beginnings of what another failed Democrat administration might look like. And this scenario is both dire, and dour. I highly suggest stocking up on non-perishable goods and paper products because I believe that with the creation of the “President’s Price Gouging Czar” Office, we will make the runaway inflation of the past four years look like a bargain compared to the much higher prices and chronic shortages she will inflict on our economy. We are already dealing with billions of dollars being spent on social welfare programs resulting in crime, homelessness and hunger that never seem to go away due to the lack of accountability by the unelected and inept bureaucrats and failed officials who create these programs. More money and more taxes are their only solutions, and now, with socialist-type price controls, we are headed for yet another failed outcome. And as the incipient decline accelerates, we can look forward to the mindless patter of social media posts coming from The Unaccountable, and/or members of the Connecticut State Senate as to “achieving equity” or “the evils of MAGA” or “The Connecticut Comeback” or the clincher of “Trump is/was a Felon”, all of which will of course comfort and reassurance for any Connecticut family without enough cash for milk or eggs.

America can avoid this scenario. The solution is to vote this economic and societal cancer known as the Democrat Party out of office, a party that is now led by a Vice President who has never truly led, and her gang of multi-millionaire bureaucrats who have no understanding of economic reality whatsoever. I personally believe she has been an atrocious failure as the next in command (if anyone is in command) in the White House. She and her party need to go, so our country and economy can become free again in 2025. It would be the last hope for America.

The Democrat Party Convention: President Trump's Censure and Kamala Harris's Coronation As The New President

If you have been following the Democrat National Convention this past week you may have been able to feel the joyful "vibes". "Vibes" as to how great the past four years have been under the Biden-Harris Administration, somehow. "Joy" as in how bright the future will be, due to the past four years of the Biden-Harris Administration, somehow. Reality is a great neutralizer in politics especially in when it comes to the gradation of the 2024 Democrat Party.

If you have been following the Democrat National Convention this past week you may have been able to feel the hatred of the supposed great divider and world arsonist in former President Trump, who has under the guise of numerous lawsuits, seizures, and raids launched by Democrat Party operatives over the past several years, had the actual audacity and lack of remorse to run for President again. President Trump was ripped, berated, and shredded by the "joyful" Democrats who spoke against him during the convention especially admonishing the masses in "turning the page" on the great divider Donald Trump while needling and bashing him throughout numerous speeches.

If you were following the Democrat convention this past week, you were treated to the usual suspect supporting cast-of toadies, sycophants, and lackeys to all things wonderful and Democrat. We saw Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, faking a smile as HE was not chosen as the vice-presidential candidate. We saw the inept, mentally vacant, (and ruinous) Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York. We saw Gov. Gavin (“the Hair”) Newsom of the disaster state of California. And we saw Connecticut’s own King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable. All have severe character and integrity issues. All are inept and cannot lead nor execute. All grossly mismanaged Covid-19. All preside over the worst and most unsafe cites in the country. But all come to share the glow on how wonderful things are going to be as the result of this fantastic rewrite of American History, reality, be damned.

It has been the Democrat Party playbook since 2016 to humiliate and demean all things Trump, in sharp contrast to how these people treated him prior to his candidacy for President. However, since that time, the playbook has been to criticize, condemn, castigate, and censure everything and anything Donald J. Trump. I continue to wonder what President Trump knows that makes him so hated by the Democrat Party. Does he have first-hand knowledge of the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden? Does he have first-hand knowledge of the failures of the federal government with its unyielding bureaucracy? Is he too sympathetic to the humble working middle class and wants for them to have the ability to advance themselves to greater economic freedom and mobility by cutting taxes? Does President Trump echo too many thoughts that we as common citizens want to express but are afraid to do for fear of retributions by the ruling elite? What is it about this man that is so wretched and horrific?

But in conjunction with this packaged hatred, The Democrat Party must promote any and/or all of the failed policies of the Biden-Harris Administration while machinating the elimination of the Joe Biden re-election campaign since he was not coherent or "Presidential" in his debate with President Trump. But leave all of that at the side of the road! American voters need to understand that the massive failures of the Biden-Harris Administration are all somehow rousing success stories! American voters need to understand that runaway inflation has absolutely nothing to with runaway federal government deficit spending but has everything to do with evil business profiteering! You somehow, are spending less money today than under the time of President Trump! American voters need to understand that an open border that allows unchecked and costly illegal immigrants has nothing to do with Democrat Border Czar Kamala Harris's policies but is the fault of Trump and the Republican Party! American voters need to understand that Biden's ban on fracking was a boon to energy in our country and that Harris's endorsement of fracking in 2024 is needed to get our economy moving again! Why was fracking vilified in the first place? American voters need to understand that there are no perils or conflicts in our world today while we are on the verge of another World War. Lies are truth, and truth are lies, to the Democrat Party.

American voters know little about what Vice President Harris is (or was) during the past four years. She has difficulty speaking in an unscripted manner and in front of a non-staged audience. She knows how to read a teleprompter almost as well as President Biden did, (reading “price gouging,” as “price gauging.” We know she was a liberal Senator from California along with being a liberal progressive Attorney General as the state descended into ruin. We know very little of her past four years as Vice President of the United States as she was kept under wraps to try not make any mistakes, misspeaks and or create any more damage than what President Biden did already. We do not know what she actually is due to the help of the state-run media. Ditto with "folksy" Tim Walz who orchestrated the great destruction of cities in his state during the George Floyd crisis. and is a liberal Governor overseeing a state with high taxes, calamity, and confusion.

Kamala Harris has been proclaimed as our new President based on what? Based on her unknown stances and or work as the Vice President for the past four years? All of this was proclaimed while President Trump had been shot at and almost assassinated while the media tried to spin it as not happening and the Secret Service tried to cover it up. So American Voters just need to vote for Kamala Harris because she is Kamala Harris. Nothing more and nothing less. Nothing else is required.

It is amazing to see how dumbed down and stripped down the Democrat Party has made the Presidency. The past four years of a corrupt, inept, and feeble Joe Biden magically produces a Kamala Harris who had no idea she was part of one of the most failed Presidencies in our nation's history. Think about that when you vote in November. President Trump is a proven leader who stands up for both the United States of America and for its citizens. Kamala Harris is a puppet of a bankrupt, future-less and wrecked Democrat Party. And the real choices are simple regardless of the attempt at the restatement of reality, being a free America vs. a distorted dreamscape of an America that will lead to its accelerated destruction.

The Failed Economic Fantasy Land and The Joyful World Of Kamala Harris

There have been many, many economic policy failures of the failed Democrat Biden-Harris Administration.  Voters are now being treated to lies as far as the economic accomplishments of this administration. Unfortunately, there is not much good economic news that has transpired since this Administration took office back in 2021.  The sad fact of the matter is our economy is in a gravely troubled state no matter how the state-run media tries to spin it.

The costs of borrowing to prop up a $35 trillion-dollar National Debt has grown by an enormous amount, especially given higher prevailing interest rates.  This interest will cost taxpayers roughly $900 billion dollars for 2024, and accounts for over 3% of our Gross Domestic Product.  That amounts to $900 billion dollars that is unproductive in our economy, as is the growing $35 trillion-dollar National Debt.  It is clear that the Democrat Party endorsed candidates Vice-President Harris and liberal spending and volatile Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have no understanding nor care of the economic turmoil that this debt causes.  And obviously with a limited economics education and no understanding of how a free-market economy works, Vice President Harris shows that she is unaware of any economic event that has taken place since she took office, but she likes to project “joy, wherever she goes.”  I guess she must feel "joy" as to how her Administration has helped to bankrupt the country.

Costs have increased dramatically for just about all consumer goods and services.  These additional costs include housing, electricity, transportation, medical care, gasoline, all food items, all consumer staples, the costs of borrowing money/interest rates, clothing, paper goods, and many more.  Costs have gone up for consumers and businesses and industries.  Vice President Harris seems to be enamored with her new phrase of "shrinkflation" developed by her glib, hip marketers to help shift blame from her Administration to all of those “greedy, profit driven businesses” that somehow created her Administration's nonstop deficit spending.  This is the same nonstop government deficit spending that has created the runaway inflation we have had since 2021.

In review of the Biden-Harris-Walz debacle, one can only shake their head and ask if there is any Democrat-controlled environment anywhere where expenses are low, cities are safe, budgets are balanced, and businesses prosper. But that is not the case anywhere. Take the Democrat-run policy bereft, economically burdened, and energy-crippled and incoherent state of King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable’s Connecticut. Where problems are met with excuses and where issues are ducked by the political class like beanballs. The old Hebrews would say that the apple does not fall far from the tree. So, picture what a Harris-Walz administration acting in like manner can do to further destroy America if it acts only one-half as bad as states like Connecticut and California.

 However, there are given solutions to help eliminate inflation in our economy, although in order to qualify as such they must be politically generated!  The Federal Reserve Bank has done all it can to help raise interest rates to make money more expensive in order to somehow "cool" inflation.  It will violate long-standing practice and “help” the economy along politically by having an interest rate cut in September to further the illusionary process of having inflation go down and or remain stable.  Of course, this faux policy will be heralded by all Democrats and the state-run media couched in terms that Vice President Harris has miraculously “solved the problems of inflation” even though her Administration has helped to oversee one of the greatest losses of personal wealth for many socio-economic groups since 2021. (In point of fact, one can wonder if Vice President Harris is capable of balancing her own checkbook).

Inflation and the great loss of personal wealth can be corrected.  It starts with government at all levels cutting back spending dramatically.  This means immediately cutting back on the massive and failed economic subsidies for green energy.  It starts with the closing our border and the unchecked migration of anyone and everyone whom we as Taxpayers get to support.  It starts with a government forced to meet economic efficiencies to save money.  It starts with an end to the failed Democrat Biden Harris Administration and the election of a new President who is not associated as the former Vice President of this incompetent and corrupted economic debacle we have been forced to live through since 2021.  You are not better off economically than you were in 2021.  2025 can represent a new beginning for our economy and country in many ways-it will not happen with the "joy" of Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who are a metastasizing cancer in our society in 2024.
