Obstruction, Obfuscation, and Obnoxiousness. (Welcome To The Democrat Way of 2025)

 The blame game. Obstruction. Lack of vision. Incompetency. Obscenity. Complaint. Embarrassment. Welcome in to Democrat Politics in 2025. The Democrat Party in 2025 places blame on all the supposed issues of our economy and society on everyone and everything except themselves, as they are without sin. Per them, it always the Republicans fault and of course all things President Trump. President Trump, much to the pleasure of the Democrat Party, has had to endure hundreds of lawsuits based on frivolous and inane interpretations of the law. That is just fine because it is all part of the Democrat Party blame and obstruction game. It is the game of interfering, regardless of the consequences to the citizen, the state, or the country. All of us, be damned.

The Democrat Party blame game currently can be seen in the stoic United States Senate with only 135 of the over 1,000 senior level appointments requiring Senate confirmation completed. "Democrats have forced multiple roll-call votes on more than 40 nominees for posts never subject to a single one. These confirmations used to take seconds. Now, each can take days. Today, 145 qualified nominees already approved by committees await full Senate approval. Nearly half these nominees earned bipartisan support in committee, and many have been waiting for months. Yet all are trapped in Senate procedural purgatory." (https://www.wsj.com/opinion/chuck-schumers-unprecedented blockade-66fb7741) Regardless of the welfare of the country, the Democrat Party blame game is helping to keep many important and critical government positions unfilled as they play their wicked political reprisal game due to their hatred of all things Donald Trump. The Democrat Party feels that this is good governing and how a government should run "efficiently" and for all the citizens they supposedly represent (or not). Because citizens do not matter as much as they do. (And shame on you if you think otherwise).

In addition, I am pleased to inform you that the Democrat Party blame game is alive and well in Connecticut where all sorts of rants, screams, protests, false crises, and incoherent gibberish are echoed daily. Of course, the Democrat calling card is invariably somehow tied to racism. On or about August 15, Connecticut Democrat State Representative Corey Paris provided a clear warning on Instagram to illegal aliens in his district to help them avoid Federal authorities. Of course, some illegal aliens are violent criminals and could very well place Rep. Paris’ constituents at risk of great harm. But ostensibly, Rep. Paris did not care. In a shameful embarrassment to Connecticut, the popular site “Libs of Tik Tok” re-posted this news and referred the post to the U.S. Justice Department with Rep. Paris' picture . Rather than Democrats reconnoitering, repenting, and re-doing because of this national humiliation and clear violation of Federal law, a farcical multi-party Democrat press conference was called in front of state-run media where we viewed the spectacle of a middle aged Liberal white woman (Rep. Eleni Kavros DeGraw) come to the defense of Rep. Paris by claiming his notoriety was due to the fact that “he is a Black Man in this country”  (https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1958239516646392115).  My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo asked on his THIRTY WITH TONY show if “Libs of Tik Tok” would have stopped short of making Rep. Paris’ post highlighting this felony if Rep. Paris were white. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWh2cvY7yaQ). As ridiculous as that question may seem, it is not at all surprising, as this is how the Democrat mindset continually seeks the lowest common denominator even if such a denominator makes no sense at all. Unfortunately, we are all quite used to this by now.

If you believe this low level pandering is bad, all becomes even worse. On Wednesday August 27, a mentally tormented transgender named Robin Westman ambushed Catholic school children praying in a school Mass, wounding eighteen and killing two. Shortly thereafter, we were treated to numerous outbursts of Democrat officeholders and talking heads deriding God, prayer, the Second Amendment (and of course, Donald Trump). It was truly a sickeningly remarkable sight as these twisted actions by self-aggrandizing political actors exhibited no regard for the wounded and the bereaved. However, not to be undone, pathetic celebrity wannabe Connecticut State Senator Bob Duff took the opportunity to post on Facebook and related the horrific shooting to Fox TV, Cracker Barrel, and the right wing, thus engendering more embarrassment for Connecticut: https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/1961134287065096208 . Unfortunately, in the Democrat blame game, this tired and sick act is one that we are all sick and tired of seeing by now.

But wait, there is more! Let us move to the national stage! The trio of  Connecticut Attorney General William Tong standing along unhinged United States Senator Chris Murphy and Vietnam Veteran United States Senator Richard Blumenthal bluster, declaim and roar about all the horrific things that the Republicans and in particular what President Trump is doing.  The President’s actions include (but are not limited to)  deporting illegal immigrants who were able to walk into our country during the failed Democrat Biden Administration, eliminating crime, thefts, and murders by making streets safe and by allowing law enforcement people to do their jobs, cutting waste, fraud and political nepotism out of our government, cutting off the flow of illegal drugs that has created a never ending crisis of death and dying, forcing states to follow laws that they are not following and much, much more.  But who cares? Daily, we are treated to the Litany of Horrors! The audacity of President Trump and the Republican Party attempting to make our nation safer! The audacity of President Trump and the Republican Party attempting to eliminate illegal drugs from our society! The audacity of President Trump and the Republican Party attempting to make our nation prosper! What will become of us when he declares himself ruler for life, (assuming we can survive in all of this mayhem until then?) 

The Democrat Party blame game perpetually continues. The Democrat Party refuses to understand that it offers nothing any more to the American public except for the same stale arguments of redistribution of wealth (excluding themselves), legal rights for criminals and not for the victims, rights for illegal immigrants but not for legal United States citizens, and a new failed version of socialism where everything is free, and everyone is the same.  The Democrat Party cannot handle being in the minority in 2025. They cannot handle their epic failures. They cannot handle that their brand of elitist politics has struck a raw nerve of opposition by those individuals who work hard in the economy, want to live in safety, want to raise their families with respect, and have a belief in God.

The Democrat Party blame game will continue to be a losing proposition. As it should be. It is now ostensible that the Democrat mission is to destroy anything that is coherent, productive, believing, and useful in America. The Democrat Party hates America and anyone who voices opposition to their fetid and putrid policies. President Trump has created hope once again in our way of life and our country and is causing an energy not seen since the early days of Ronald Reagan. Its Morning in America once again. But these concepts are repulsive to Democrats that love darkness and hate America. 

And America loves the daylight now visible at the end of a long, dark tunnel. It has been too long in coming.

The Poisoned Economic Nutmeg Of Connecticut- Where The Political System Destroys Business Economics (And It Could Care Less).

 Economics is many times misunderstood. Most citizens correctly believe that elected officials have little to no understanding as to how economics and our nation's market system works. The Democrat Party, with no conception of how an economic system works, is especially of the mind that government should be the sole provider of all things economic; public transportation, public education, public child care, public housing, public drugs and drug treatment, public groceries, public safety and many other "public" items, of course with no idea as to how to pay for them other than to yell “tax the rich” or “tax the white neighborhoods” (if you are NYC presumptive Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani). The free market system, if it is functioning, allows for both the consumer and businesses to address supply and demand conditions with regards to the needs of the society. In Democrat states like Connecticut, a socialist based command/government directive economy exists instead, and this economy is doing a terrific job of driving the state to total ruin.

At one time in recent memory, a ride through the State of Connecticut was a remarkable sight. Cities were alive, safe, and functioning with commerce and culture and culinary choices. Beautiful suburbs featured well-kept homes and bright clean and green parks. The finest public schools produced the best and brightest students. Office space was hard to come by. Many avenues for upward mobility were available to the motivated. But if we take that same ride in Connecticut 2025 we see decaying, dangerous, and drug ridden cities where illegal aliens are prioritized over taxpayers. We see office space begging for tenants. We see formerly thriving commercial buildings are adorned with “FOR SALE” signs. We see parks have strewn with the homeless and the addicted. Schools have failed. Colleges have become Woke-Liberal paradises training students for no practical purpose and leaving them in incalculable debt. Taxes are high. Productivity is non-existent. The stark change is so dramatic and devastating that one wonders where the train jumped the track.

I submit to you that the economic poisoning of Connecticut started with the imposition of the Lowell Weicker-inspired Connecticut state income tax in 1991. Ever since that time, the state's economy has exhibited profound wreckage, exacerbated by the horrific regimes of Governors Dannel Malloy (2011–2019) and “Businessman Governor” Ned Lamont, (2019–present). This policy onslaught triggered a corporate exodus beginning that very same year with Saab and UPS, followed by General Electric relocating its headquarters from Fairfield to Boston in 2016, Alexion Pharmaceuticals fleeing New Haven for Boston in 2017 (after receiving a huge state handout of tax dollars), Aetna shifting operations to New York amid threats of full departure, and more recently, the LEGO Group announcing its U.S. headquarters move from Enfield to Boston by 2026, alongside Subway's 2023 transfer to Miami. Every single entity cited some combination of taxes, business hostility and administrative state oppression in its decision to depart.

It is inarguable that Connecticut has regressed economically form the past 34 years, while the inept, incompetent, and enabling state government has had its  budget increase dramatically over the same time. The state's budget increased from roughly $7 billion dollars in 1991 to over $26 billion dollars in 2025. Connecticut's population was roughly 3.3 million people in 1991 and is roughly 3.6 million people in 2025, (not counting the illegal and undocumented within the state borders). Thus, for a net increase of 300,000 people in 34 years, the state has increased spending by approximately $19 billion dollars a year. And taxes have increased dramatically over that same period while the same inept, incompetent, and enabling state government ignorantly continues on its path to destruction, seeing no reason whatsoever to change anything it is doing.

As discussed in the past, "The 2025 Rich States, Poor States" report issued by the American Legislative Exchange Council Center for State Fiscal Reform (https://www.richstatespoorstates.org/states/CT/) shows Connecticut as currently ranked 44^th in the United States for its economic outlook."  

"Connecticut is currently ranked 48^th in the United States for its economic performance. This rank is a backward-looking measure based on the state’s performance (equal-weighted average) in three important performance variables shown below. These variables are highly influenced by state policy." 

"Cumulative GDP Growth, 2013 - 2023	43.80%	44th
Cumulative Domestic Migration, 2014 - 2023	-170,538	41st
Non-Farm Employment Growth, 2013 - 2023	2.05%	43rd"

If one looks at a state as small as Connecticut spending over $26 billion dollars a year and being ranked this low in these important economic categories, ostensibly there is a massive imbalance in the state between private industry and state government. "New data from CBRE show the Greater Hartford office market sitting at a 28.2 percent vacancy rate, while Cushman & Wakefield peg Fairfield County availability at 26 percent in the first quarter of 2025. In some downtown blocks, empty space now tops 50 percent, creating a drag on local tax bases and neighborhood vitality." (https://waittgrain.com/markets/stocks.php?article=abnewswire-2025-6-20-connecticut-firm-helps-struggling-owners-as-commercial-vacancies-rise-across-the-state) Could an actual decline of businesses being in the state be a cause of these vacancies? Could the decline in businesses in Connecticut be due to the high property tax rates of the state? Could the decline in businesses in Connecticut be due to the high minimum wage rate? Could the decline in businesses in Connecticut be due to the high workers compensation and unemployment insurance tax rates? Could the decline in businesses in Connecticut be due to the poor bridge, road, and highway systems? Could the decline in businesses in Connecticut be due to the wretched economic decisions by the Democrat Party especially with the dysfunctional and non-transparent Department of Community and Economic Development picking their politically connected winners and losers? Could it be that whenever Connecticut tries to fix massive economic problems it starts a "new" state taxpayer funded program incentive to "resolve" the same economic problem, with the invariable result of greater failures at increased costs?

Regardless of the lies you have been told, Connecticut's economic decline is due to years of omnipotent Connecticut Democrat Party rule with a lack of transparency in state government, a bloated state government bureaucracy, high state and local taxes, a quagmire of byzantine business laws and regulations including high workers compensations costs, high unemployment tax costs, high paid family leave costs, and a state GOP that has never fully and aggressively advocated for sound business principles of Republicanism, refusing to do so to this very day.

In light of the above, why would anyone in their right mind want to own and operate a business in Connecticut?

Connecticut's state election is coming up in 2026. For the state to be saved and/or be the least bit viable anymore  Connecticut truly needs courage, boldness, and new ideas and to address its bloated state debt, state budget and unfunded liabilities.  It needs leaders who will actually lead and not scream and bellow incoherent gibberish about their perceived "injustices". It needs Republican and Conservative candidates to rise that are truly part of the conservative solution and not an extension of the problem that has taken place for decades.

Despite all the nonsensical gibberish we hear from political people about “injustices,” the gravest injustice in Connecticut is continually perpetuated upon its legitimate taxpaying citizens via the Democrat-Socialist-driven disaster that has masqueraded as a state government. A government that worships and nurtures the oppressive and overpaid administrative state. A government that steadfastly refuses to simplify and cut taxes. A legislature where not one member therein cries for the abolition of the Department of Economic and Community Development especially considering the recent nonprofit scandal.  A government in full embrace of the Trump-Burgum energy policy leading to the dilution of the Eversource burden upon the state. A government in grave need of open source and timely access to all state documentation and the seating of a citizen no-holds-barred DOGE panel to tear the compounded horrors wide open. Hard? Brutal? You had better believe it. But all of the above in my estimation are necessary to right a sinking ship sabotaged by self-serving bureaucrats and politicians over decades of wreckage.

The Democrat Party. Where Sins Are Continually Forgiven

 Upon seeing repeated crime, death, and destruction in the Nation’s Capital, President Donald Trump finally decided that he had seen enough. On August 11, 2025, federalized law enforcement in Washington, D.C began by the President invoking Section 740 of the “Home Rule Act”. This placed the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and dysfunctional government under federal authority for up to 30 days due to a declared crime emergency. Mr. Trump deployed 800 D.C. National Guard troops and about five hundred federal officers from agencies like the FBI and ATF to patrol the city to address violent crime and protect federal assets. President Trump argued this bold move was necessary to combat urban crime and disorder.

 

In response to President Trump's federalization of Washington, D.C.'s various lunatic police protests erupted across the city, with unhinged activists from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia decrying the move as an overreach of federal power and a threat to local autonomy. Demonstrators, including groups like the "D.C. Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression", gathered at key locations like the 14th Street NW corridor and near the White House, chanting slogans such as "Go home, fascists" and "Get off our streets," and urged drivers to avoid federal checkpoints. Deluded critics, including local officials and civil rights groups, argued the intervention was unnecessary given declining crime rates, raising concerns about civil liberties and the criminalization of marginalized communities.(https://x.com/washingtonpost/status/1955411490531315721)[](https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5451674-dc-residents-heckling-donald-trump-takeover/)[](https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/protests/dc-protest-federal-police-trump-administration/65-bc0556c1-9cbf-4445-8c53-17eacf46b413). In fact, one entitled and deranged attorney from the Department of Justice flung a Subway footlong sandwich at an ICE agent and subsequently lost his job and was charged as a criminal. 

It is baffling to any sane person as to why anyone would commit a felony and/or lose his job to protest being delivered from a war zone.

Welcome in to another day and another thrashing of President Trump by someone in the Democrat Party or its attendant media politburo. Day in and day out, President Trump is never left alone to govern the country. He is always attacked in some way, shape or form since he took office in 2017. The Democrat Party has spent a mere eight years plus in a failed attempt to discredit President Trump, and if you have been following, it has not succeeded since he won the election in 2024. President Trump to many is acting as a super-human. He has fended off the Russian hoax spread by the Democrats along with numerous lawsuits brought by Socialist Attorney Generals and an assassination attempt. But Donald Trump is vilified by doing something different that is shaking up our stoic and dysfunctional political system and government. Mind us all, This is a political system and government that many feel no longer works and represents the people who supposedly elected them.

One could also look at the positive things that President Trump has done in his first days of his second term. He has addressed the devastating illegal immigrant crisis created by the Biden Administration. He is doing his best to make America energy independent again, away from the irrational and incompetent state officials who are dogging and obstructing him at every turn. He is doing his best to create both jobs and investment in the economy to stimulate economic growth. He has lowered taxes by the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" by which Connecticut benefits greatly. ( (https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/obbba-average-tax-cuts-impact-map/) . He is torching a bloated Federal government.   He is addressing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the cancerous brainwashing of higher education. He has created a revolution to counter the unchecked and unwarranted Democrat Party Socialism that has been force fed to us for years. And he is winning the fight and exciting people by the day, contrary to what the state-run media wants us to believe.

Yet the Democrat Party still feels it does no wrong while President Trump can do no right. The Democrat Party is mad at President Trump. The Democrat Party likes to yell, swear and hurl insults at all things Trump. Even though Democrats are not in power except for incompetent and irrational states such as Connecticut, Democrats continue to try to rule the country with their deceptions and lies, (such as the unchecked Russian hoax that should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law).

In Connecticut, the Connecticut Democrat Party is dealing with several massive ethical, integrity, and personal character issues. Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy continues to become more embarrassing and unhinged every day about President Trump with several of his recent statements. For example, the third-term senator said in a recent interview that Trump “doesn’t give a fuck what we write” into spending legislation...“Every single day, there’s new evidence that our democracy is falling, and you’ve got to take stands. You have to take fights,” Murphy explained. “I just worry — every time that we go along with these appropriations bills, we’re putting a bipartisan veneer of endorsement on an illegal process that’s ultimately part of his campaign to destroy our democracy.” (https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/13/chris-murphy-senate-funding-boycott-trump-protest-00505880). Can Senator Murphy explain to Connecticut Taxpayers in what ways is President Trump destroying our democracy? By rooting out corruption, political payoffs and crime? Can Senator Murphy explain to Connecticut Taxpayers how Democracy was not destroyed by having an incoherent, feeble, and ostensibly incontinent Democrat President Biden while his non-elected autopen handlers ran America into the ground for four years? Can Senator Murphy articulate the benefits of the Socialist policies of unchecked illegal immigration? Can Senator Murphy explain those same policies to legal United States Citizens families and loved ones who were murdered by some of the illegal immigrant cartels and individuals that were let in by the Democrat Biden Administration? Maybe Senator Murphy should be accountable for his statements by impeachment actions against him? He is a much clearer threat to our Democracy than President Trump. And it is a continuing wonder as to why the Connecticut Media (and even the state Republican Party) never (ever) in hammering him daily in the needed effort of forcing him to finally (and mercifully), resign.

But one continually wonders if having a criminal proclivity is a requirement of The Connecticut State Democrat Party for legislative service. Since Connecticut Democrats have permanent absolution for their sins within state lines, we see felon/shoplifter four-term Democrat State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan still is holding his position in the state even he though apparently was caught shoplifting. Naturally, being a Democrat, he will find a way for his arrest to go away and retain his state taxpayer funded benefits and future pension accompanied by the usual state-run media blather of “he has turned the page,” or the like. Since his sins will be forgiven, he can run for United States Senator one day as a "victor". Or how about his fellow Democrats Robin Comey, Aundré Baumgartner, Geoff Luxenberg, Kevin Ryan, and Dennis Bradley who have faced criminal charges ranging from driving under the influence (DUI), to campaign finance fraud? But none of this matters. Anyone (including myself) raising these issues is branded as cruel, insensitive, or racist, (where applicable).

And the beat goes on. The Connecticut State Democrat Party now sees an incredible scandal developing with its (should-be-abolished) Department of Economic and Community Development and the “Minority Business Initiative” that has involved Democrat State Senator Douglas McCrory. Substantial amounts of missing money are involved coupled with vast amounts of “expenses and salaries” hiding in plain sight as paid from politically funded nonprofits that have escaped any legislative or bureaucratic oversight or fiscal control. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6lcguJsekU ). Federal Grand Jury subpoenas have been issued that tie prominent Democrat State Senator Douglas McCrory and consultant Sonserae Cicero-Hamlin (whom he apparently lives with). "McCrory sat on the advisory board during a years-long period when it was considering millions of dollars of grants or loans that went to a Cicero-Hamlin business" (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/hartford-nonprofit-grand-jury-probes-state-senator-s-personal-relationship-with-grant-recipient/ar-AA1K2EvD?ocid=BingNewsVerp&cvid=4383a6a98ca4438cf3fd72dda846a09c&ei=25&apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1). As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo said this past week, it is a positive development that Federal authorities are doing the job of oversight that Connecticut has failed to do for many years. 

Indeed.

But the Democrat apple never rolls far from the rotten tree. Of course we can't forget Governor King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his dealings and financial interests with Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, “The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, Tidal River Fund, McKinsey, GeneDX, and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies.  Forget all of that because the Connecticut State Democrat Party, is doing no wrong with its lack of transparency with these companies and funding. And if you continue to mention this, you are either a conspiracy theorist, insensitive, or a broken record. For Connecticut to ever change for the better, this posture can be condoned no longer.

In conclusion, it is a lie that the Democrat Party can do no wrong and President Trump can do no right. These examples presented show a much different viewpoint of the damage and wrong that the Democrat Party has done to our society, state, and country. It is time move our country forward minus an incoherent, Socialist Democrat Party and its enablers. May God protect the good leaders such as President Trump so they may correct the injustices and rape of our society by the idiotic leaders of the failed Democrat Party.

 

Connecticut: The Economic Money Laundering State

Truth in government.  That, is a concept worth exploring.  We realize truth now has been modified to include variations on what was at one time, truth.  Factual truth in government now seems a distant reality as professional politicians and their handlers stumble over rhetoric, words and lies that are now considered truth. 

Governance. The concept is obvious. But in Connecticut, the concept is non-existent, or is exercised in reverse. In recent days, several articles and radio and independent media reports have provided us with sordid potential accusations regarding a Federal Investigation into a myriad of state-funded nonprofit organizations, with said accusations taking into account a prominent state senator of color, a huge state “economic development” monolith, and a bevy of “consultants” that are incredibly well paid for ostensible non-jobs.

Governing. The horrific and obscene mess of what passes for Governing in Connecticut is enabled yearly by a group of no less than seventy five (75) asleep-at-the-switch Connecticut State Legislators sitting on the Legislative Commerce and Appropriations Committees, who ostensibly do nothing but hand over multi-millions of dollars every year without  a care to an untold number of tax exempt organizations, all of which are exempt from disclosure by statute drafted via the courtesy of that very same Legislature. After all, this system is great for glad-handing, crony-employing, and photo-opping.

 

We now enter the Twilight Zone. Welcome to the economic money-laundering State of Connecticut.

Regardless of the obscene amount of tax dollars spent, It is no surprise that Connecticut continues to have many social and economic problems.  That is the truth.  These problems include high taxation, a failing economy, a lack of job creation, a crumbling infrastructure, an illegal drug problem, a crime problem especially with vehicle thefts, unchecked state budget spending, in addition to $100-$150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities, all in excess of the venerated “Fiscal Guardrails” we hear so much about.  But these "truths" have been talked about and written about numerous times by myself and several others in the small group of the common citizen media that must counter the state run media's supposed "truths". And as time goes on, the state run media has been working overtime trying to turn the truth into fables.

This nonprofit scandal gets worse by the day. One of the latest "truths" in the scandal that the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) has somehow "lost" track of Connecticut Taxpayers monies given to several Hartford non-profit social services agencies. .   The Blue Hills Civic Association fell victim to a $300,000 wire fraud and compounded the felony by failing to immediately notify state officials of the theft when it was discovered. In April of 2025 , The Blue Hills Civic Association laid off most of its staff.  The Blue Hills Civic Association according to its 2024 audit lists its Executive Director receiving $149,481 in compensation for the year, she was dismissed from her job in April also. (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/60876558).  The Blue Hills Civic Association has received nearly $14 million dollars from the DECD over the past two years in state and federal grants.  "State spending records show DECD continued to send federal money to the nonprofit after the theft occurred, providing a combined $1.23 million worth of federal dollars in March alone, with the last transfer occurring on March 20."(https://voteearlyct.com/f/blue-hills-civic-association-300k-alleged-wire-transfer-fraud). One must wonder where all the money went? 

And why this was not front page news? And why did the Connecticut Legislature keep using the failure Connecticut Department of Economic and Community  Development to continually shovel funds to myriad nonprofits without question or analysis? This pattern defies any sort of logic.

Several Connecticut Republicans that were either brave, (or way (way) late to the issue at hand, depending on your viewpoint) issued a statement regarding this issue and trying to find out the "truth"  From August 6, 2025:

Sen. Rob Sampson, Sen. Henri Martin and Sen. Stephen Harding today issued the following statement regarding federal authorities issuing grand jury subpoenas ordering the State of Connecticut to produce extensive records as part of an investigation of possible irregularities in the distribution of tens of millions of dollars in government grants to social service and business nonprofit organizations in Hartford.

“Wow. A federal dragnet has been cast. The feds certainly seem to have built their case. Fraud and corruption? Sure looks like it. It’s YOUR money, Connecticut taxpayers. Hey, by the way: Where is the comment from Gov. Lamont and Connecticut Democrats? Are they as appalled as Republicans are? All we hear is crickets chirping.” (https://www.facebook.com/sampsonforct).

Indeed. Where is the comment of the Democrat Party and its Socialist Attorney General?

Considering that Connecticut has continually refused to clean up its own house, many decent taxpaying citizens are relieved that the sordid and corrupted situation in Connecticut is finally getting Federal attention. The stories seemingly get worse every single day. (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/hartford-nonprofit-grand-jury-probes-state-senator-s-personal-relationship-with-grant-recipient/ar-AA1K2EvD?ocid=BingNewsVerp&cvid=4383a6a98ca4438cf3fd72dda846a09c&ei=25&apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1)But one question hitherto unasked was raised this past week by my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo as to how many of these state-funded nonprofit organizations have politically-connected “Executives” who are drawing salaries up to 40% of revenues, before “payments to consultants?” As of the time of this writing, this is already a huge story for which only the tip of the iceberg has been reached.

https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/1953434561238781967

Since all elevators stop at the top floor, of course one also wonders how much did King Governor Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable" know about these "Truths" perpetuated by the DECD and the State Legislature?  Hopefully, the Federal investigation will lead Connecticut Taxpayers to the real "Truth" of what happened to their hard earned tax monies.  But again, Connecticut Taxpayers have never had any  "Truth" forthcoming from unethical business dealings with no-bid state contracts going to Lamont- owned firms such as Sema4  that were heavily invested in Annie Lamont's hedge fund Oak HC/FT, and that the Lamont-related interests made upwards of $77,000,000 in one day at the Sema4 stock public offering.  

Did the DECD ever investigate this "Truth"?  Did the Connecticut State Legislature?

Of course not.

But once again we see the same familiar song and dance in Connecticut.  The complex nonprofit debacle fueled by the Legislature and the dysfunctional and unaccountable Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development just keeps on wasting Connecticut Taxpayers monies. It is ostensible that the Connecticut Democrat Party, no matter what the cost, is there to protect the political ruling class who dictate to the Connecticut Taxpayers what they can and can't have.  Why does Connecticut even need the large, unaccountable, and power hungry economic failure known as the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development? 

It is hoped that we can finally end the picking the winners and losers in a socialist state like Connecticut.  Let the free market system work once again in Connecticut.  Free the Connecticut Taxpayer from the Connecticut Democrat Party and its economically failed programs.  Force the Legislature to act like one and stop acting life a self-gratifying cadre of “what-me worry?” type lummoxes.

Hallelujah. It is time for "Truth" once again. 

And "Truth" cannot arrive quickly enough in The Economic Money Laundering State of Connecticut.
