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.
