The Myriad Permutations of Socialism. Democrats in 2026

I have followed with interest the continuing drama of Conservative Talk Show Host (and friend to us all) Lee Elci in his bid for the Connecticut State Senate Seat of the 20th District against Democrat incumbent Martha (“Wire Cutter”) Marx.

As was quite predictable to me, once Elci announced his candidacy, Marx pressed her right to the statutory benefits of “equal time,” in other words, being allowed to broadcast to the 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk audience that follows Elci at comparable times of the day. As the station works out the details of the demand, Marx was bold and glib to state her intentions to “The Day” of New London. https://theday.com/news/916512/democrat-marx-considers-sharing-airwaves-with-conservative-talk-show-hosts/

As stated in the article: “Marx said she has no shortage of topics she would address if she goes on air — tenant rights, LGBTQ issues, health care, immigration — many of them will come with a view from the left and will be a contrast to the themes, advertisements, and callers on Elci’s show.

“I don’t know how many listeners Lee Elci has, and I don’t know that his listeners would care about hearing what I’m talking about,” Marx said. “I would be able to elevate and give a voice to so many of the causes that are so important to me.


“The first day, I might have representatives from Planned Parenthood, OutCT and Moms Demand Action,” Marx said. “I would have my Democratic colleagues and candidates on, and listeners would be able to hear their real voices instead of the lies they usually hear on that station,” Marx said.”

While being a First Amendment absolutist and a strong believer in the law of equal time, I beg to differ with Senator Marx in that perhaps not everything spoken on station 94.9 is a lie. For example, Senator Marx inexplicably cut wires under her legislative seat in 2024 causing multiple thousands of dollars in damage and neither political party called for censure, expulsion, or even an investigation. https://ctexaminer.com/2024/08/08/state-senator-cuts-voting-box-wires-damages-could-reach-15k-sources-say/ . However, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did, only to be rebuffed by the ostensibly cowardly Capitol Police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUehKZTrxpA&t=2s However Tony is not bothered, as he will sure to ask Martha as to her reasons for doing what she did with the wires when the floor is hers, and 200,000 ears will listen for the answer.


Some may find all the foregoing entertaining. Others may find it vengeful. But my reasons of recounting the foregoing are only for the purposes of showing the First Amendment of the United States Constitution at work and showing that Freedom of Speech is a blessing to us all and is indeed a two-way street, much to the chagrin and uncomfortableness awaiting Martha Marx in the future.

But even that premise pales in comparison to the most critical issue: Because we live in a free society where all can throw stones and duck stones thrown at them, both Marx and Elci have the right to say whatever they wish within the limits of actual malice and threat. Marx may now have difficulty, fear, and trembling coming to grips with that reality, which may be why her and her ilk run to the marvelous umbrella of Socialism as the elixir that heals all ills. What these misguided souls do not comprehend is that in Socialism and Marxism one’s right to dissent is often met with ostracization, imprisonment, beatings and yes, even death.

You see in Socialism, Marx thinks she is safe being on the side of the oppressor, for now. But oh, how little does she really understand?

 Imagine being tortured to death because you were forced to believe the lies your government was claiming and disagreed with them. Imagine you were a firm believer in Freedom-Freedom of thought, economic and personal freedom, freedom to live your life without governmental control.

Imagine reading about and believing that the Holocaust existed and that over eleven million were tortured to death by a variety of means especially those of Jewish faith and of Polish ancestry.

Imagine reading about and believing that the around twelve million died during the peaceful Russian Revolution of Communism and Marxism.

Imagine reading about and believing that in Cuba, the Castro Brothers were responsible for over 12,000 deaths by various means including firing squads and their murder of Oswaldo Payá.

Look him up if you dare.

Imagine reading about and believing that in China under Mao Zedong's rule that 30 to 45 million died under his tortures and starvation.

Imagine reading about and believing that in North Korea since 1948 over ten million have died from torture and or starvation.

Imagine reading about and believing that in Cambodia, Pol Pot killed over two million of its own citizens through a variety of means. 

Yet these bothersome facts are ignored. Forgotten by enthusiastic and brainwashed Democrat Socialists of America and their paid protestors continually forgetting the 100 million people who have been murdered in one way or another over past 100 years by Socialist/Communist regimes in our world.  Somehow, in 2026 too many young people have no idea of the destruction brought about by communist regimes throughout our world history. I personally will never forget my ancestors in Poland were murdered in cold blood by both the Germans and Russians during World War II and many years afterwards. As far as they have been told, Socialism is the land of Milk and Honey and they will all be standing at the end of a plenteous conveyor belt amply supplied by government and the working taxpayers.

Thus in 2026, I am forced to write this column in support of freedom and our free United States of America with the Marx-Elci race as a perfect example of what all of this means. An America that we are somehow led to believe that freedom is bad because of irrational, incomprehensible, and illogical arguments by a propaganda machine of liberal wealthy elitists (or brainless “useful idiots” like Marx). One must wonder why our political system is being hijacked by these domestic terrorists better known as liberal Democrats who have intense hatred of President Trump and no coherent or conclusive solutions to any critical issue.

Facts do not lie. Millions of innocent people have died because of Socialism and Communism and continue to die today. It is nothing new. One can twist and distort the evils of Socialism and Communism to suit their hatred of our country and our free way of life. The new age Democrat Socialists of America are just as bad as their ancestors, arguably worse in that they do not know the world of horror upon which they tread.  We do not need this kind of evil being spread in our country and in our upcoming election. The atrocities of Socialism and Communism are on full display today with the Democrat Party and their lies. The great silent majority has had enough of their wokeness, pomposity, and waste of human life.

 

Therefore, in closing, does Senator Marx understand or comprehend any of this? My guess is no. However, she would be made to understand quite readily when a much  more dastardly and purposed far leftist wishes to take her to far more treacherous places that even she could tolerate. By then, the usefulness of her idiocy will have expired and she will “get the bullet” just like multiple thousands before her. Because the only way one like Marx can ever get to address our views and redress our grievances in a society free allowing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness through the resources God has provided and the elimination of government micromanagement.

Whatever goes around, comes around.  If only these delusional Democrats understood that before it becomes too late.

August 11, 2026. The Primary To Nowhere

 Rumor had it that King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, the 89th Governor of the once-great state of Connecticut, participated in a primary election that recently damaged the singularly-uninspiring Democrat Socialist/Communist Josh Elliott by beating him with brute force in the August 11 Democrat Primary. As literally every state union, state-supported adjunct, corrupted NGO, and bought-off church and community group of color was ready to do their trained-dog act to remain on the food chain, the dull Mr. Elliott had no chance, and conceded his loss like a misbehaving puppy asking to be placed in his master’s good graces. For such an Academy Award winning performance, I am sure Mr. Elliott will be rewarded with a state-paid nonjob in the extremely near future just to show us all how balanced and inclusive The Unaccountable is to all persons and viewpoints, your tax dollars, be damned.

 

But how is any of this surprising? Ned desperately needs his job for family business and will continue to throw around your taxpayer money to ensure that the Lamont's Hedge Fund Cash Machine is safe until the end of his term  or another four years of ripping off Connecticut Taxpayers. He must now face a form of reality with a young Republican candidate running against him with his failed economic policies that have placed Connecticut last in many economic categories and first in the highest taxes in the country. But who cares if you subsist or  do quite well on the state dollar? And who pays attention to that. especially Connecticut's obedient state-run media and the politically connected of the Connecticut Democrat Party as the greatest offenders of public decency?

And why worry? Why even bother to have an election? Polls from everywhere and anywhere the stoic media has been already declaring Lamont the victor! And why not? Just continue to hand free taxpayers monies to the state-run media to keep them "viable", pay for unlimited abortions, parrot anti-ICE rhetoric, ignore high electric rates, high fuel oil prices and most importantly continue with an unlimited source of Connecticut Taxpayer funded revenue for the Oak HC/FT hedge fund profits funneled through state funded nonprofits and shady outfits such as the boiler-room “Connecticut Innovations.” 

Doesn't this sound familiar? Haven't we seen this for eight long years? Why does the smarmy cloak of legitimacy from both sides of the aisle continue towards Ned Lamont with no complaint about any of this?

But this is a familiar scenario, as truth and reality are not known to Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party. The lies they spew are parroted as truth by the state-run media and Connecticut Taxpayers are always shortchanged. One genuine issue that does not get addressed is voter fraud which many know is rampant in state elections, especially in Bridgeport. Just recently,  more absentee ballot fraud hit Crime Free Democrat Bridgeport with allegations of  former state Sen. Dennis Bradley with voter intimidation and absentee ballot misconduct, but who is actually counting? (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/bridgeport-police-investigating-allegations-of-absentee-ballot-misconduct-against-former-state-sen-dennis-bradley/). Just another nodding performance by a Democrat Party appointed judge and the usual brushing aside of voter fraud by the Democrats. A young man named Jonathan De Barros has simple questions about his Congressional primary defeat that are  clear but remain unanswered and avoided. Given the number of incidents, it is hard not to conclude that voter fraud in Democrat Connecticut has influenced and effected both local and state elections especially in crime riddled and corrupted Bridgeport. But again, who cares, since it somehow it is never prosecuted nor challenged except by a few brave voters who believe in integrity of our scared election process. The fact remains that your vote does count unbelievably and must count, except obviously in Bridgeport, where the system does not care what you think.

But there is a sanity test here. Why would Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party be winning in the polls supposedly, given the horrific economic conditions in Connecticut and the extreme hatred shown for him on social media and uncontrolled environments? His reign has given us a state that has massive debt and unfunded liabilities along with high local and state taxes, massive state spending for state employee wages, benefits, and pensions, along with a poor infrastructure, rampant crime, and a horrific business climate? Why would anyone continue to vote for this deficient social and economic mess? And now, Lamont must contend with the failed lies of the new and improved Democrat Socialists that have taken over most of the failed aspects of this horrific morass called the Democrat party and appease these socialists at every turn since he must remain in office at all costs, especially when you are paying the costs.

But what really happened in this primary? Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing has happened to want to make any sane person, who believes in Democracy and Capitalism to want to vote for these failures called successes in 2026. The Democrat Party continues to fail Connecticut and its big cities daily, and will bribe, cajole, and throw your money to remain exactly where they are. There are massive drug abuse problems, murders on the streets of formerly safe city areas, massive crime, massive social problems, and massive corruption everywhere you look in the state. The Democrat Party owns these issues and refuses to accept blame nor offer any solutions to them. It is just more, more of the same failed rhetoric that is spewed from top to bottom.

Yes, Ned Lamont won on Tuesday. And he is an odds-on favorite to remain exactly where he is for at least another four years. The only thing that would ever change that is a consistent and super-charged effort to drive him, his ilk, his incompetence, his spouse, and his cronies from power. But to do so would take boldness, courage, and vision which is tough to come by from a large supplicant and questionable voter base and a comfortable opposition party that does not blister and batter this reprehensible conduct daily and embrace viewpoints contrary to its  failed modus operandi.

 Elections 2026. It is the Last Chance Saloon for Connecticut. I pray to God people are seeing this for what it really, is and act accordingly.

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain! The Eight-Year Fantasy Reign of Governor Ned Lamont

 The eight years of the fantasy reign of King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable as Governor of the State of Connecticut can best be summed up by this dialogue from the 1939 classic film “The Wizard Of Oz”

The Wizard (booming voice, as the giant head):

“Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Oz! I said come back tomorrow!”

 

Dorothy:

“If you were really great and powerful, you’d keep your promises!”

The Wizard (still booming):

“Do you presume to criticize the great Oz? You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I’m giving you audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now!”

(Toto pulls back the green curtain, revealing the ordinary man working the levers and speaking into a microphone.)

The Wizard (startled, still trying to maintain the booming voice):

“Oh! … The great Oz has spoken!”

(He tries to close the curtain.)

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The great Oz has spoken!”

(Dorothy pulls the curtain fully open.)

Dorothy:

“Who are you?”

The Wizard (first booming, then dropping to his normal voice):

“I am the great and powerful… Wizard of Oz.”

Dorothy:

“You are? I don’t believe you!”

The Wizard:

“I’m afraid it’s true. There’s no other Wizard except me.”

Scarecrow:

“You humbug!”

Cowardly Lion:

“Yeah!”

The Wizard:
“Yes, that’s exactly so. I’m a humbug.”

Dorothy:

“Oh, you’re a very bad man!”

The Wizard:

“Oh, no, my dear. I’m a very good man. I’m just a very bad wizard.”

 

 This 90-year old classic snippet of dialogue from "The Wizard Of Oz" describes the reign of King Governor Ned Lamont The Unaccountable perfectly, but for one item: While “Most Popular” Governor Ned Lamont may get an A+ in the categories of wonder and achievement courtesy of his state-run hack media stable, he differs from The Wizard in that in actuality, he is both a bad man and a bad governor.

Pick any sycophantic state-run media outlet or print publication in Connecticut, and you will get the same tale concerning Ned Lamont. There is economic magic in Connecticut! It is due to an amazing run of all sorts of the Democrat Party pulling economic rabbits out of their hats by the one and only, King Ned Lamont, the Unaccountable! In a recent news article that read like a campaign press release written by the Connecticut Democrat Party, somehow there is no longer any unfunded liabilities to the Connecticut State Pension System.  This is due to the magic of King Ned and his over taxation of Connecticut Taxpayers to create fiscal balloon surpluses.

From the article: https://www.courant.com/2026/08/03/a-look-at-cts-recent-fiscal-matters-pensions-debt-revenue-surpluses-taxing-the-wealthy/?lctg=64C6443F951205741532846538&utm_email=64C6443F951205741532846538&active=yesP&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.courant.com%2f2026%2f08%2f03%2fa-look-at-cts-recent-fiscal-matters-pensions-debt-revenue-surpluses-taxing-the-wealthy%2f&utm_campaign=trib-hartford_courant-five_things_you_need_to_know-nl&utm_content=hybrid “Central to Gov. Ned Lamont’s political brand and his run for a rare third term is a fiscal discipline that has contributed to Connecticut’s extraordinary run of budget surpluses. He’s wrapped seven consecutive years in the black, using $11 billion of those unspent funds to wipe out pension debt. No other governor in modern history has made one such payment. And Lamont, a Democrat who has served with strong Democratic legislative majorities, cut state income tax rates in 2023, something done only once before in the 35-year history of the levy, while still building a record-setting budget reserve that tops $4.4 billion.”

This particular version of sycophantic blather was never parroted until the Lamont versus Socialist/Communist Josh Elliott primary. As someone who has studied the and written about the Connecticut State Debt for decades, I am truly amazed by these farcical statements.  When one tries to understand Connecticut State's Debt, one may be overwhelmed by the spider web of deceptions and untruths that have been force fed to Connecticut Taxpayers over the years. For to even get at what the real state debt is truly a challenge.

One thing the sycophants and lackeys will never tell you is that there are many aspects to Connecticut's debt that include long term and short-term bonding of different debts along with billions in unfunded liabilities that state taxpayers are liable for. This chorus of magpies would never tell you that Connecticut has one of the highest ratios of debt functions in the country along with one of the highest local and state tax burdens simultaneously. Few even understand this is happening. Connecticut State workers have one of the highest wage, benefit, and pension structures in the country accounting for over $11 billion dollars this past year out of state budget or roughly $27 billion dollars.  This is roughly 41% of Connecticut's state budget. Other examples include a 17.15% Debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio. This is a ratio calculated by dividing total debt by annual economic output, reflecting Connecticut's ability to pay back what it owes. And business development and economic opportunity? Connecticut has a population of roughly 3.6 million people of which over 380,000 are on Food Stamps which is over 10% of the state's population (https://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-connecticut-debt-clock.html). Of course if you can make your own way, you do not need government food subsidies. But! (but) isn't the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development leading the charge into the Mojo-driven Lamont universe? Roughly two billion dollars has been siphoned from state coffers into varying socialistic scam spending during the Reign of Lamont. But one wonders for what purpose have these funds been allocated for reasons other than serial waste, fraud, nepotism, cronyism, and abuse? https://wp.cga.ct.gov/apa/wp-content/cgacustom/reports/FullReports/Economic%20and%20Community%20Development,%20Department%20of%20FULL_20260729_FY2023,2024.pdf .

Continuing from the above news article/press release: “I think people are taking a second look at Connecticut” because of this fiscal dedication, Lamont said this week. “They say, ‘They’ve got their act together.’” 

How did Connecticut ever get its act together with crushingly high state debt and 41% of the budget just going to salaries, benefits, and pensions, coupled with Wizard of Oz-like budget surpluses caused by Democrat Party over taxation?

However, no state-produced lie is ever complete without a benchmark reference to the failed leaders of the past. Here, the reference is to good old Former Governor Dan Malloy, who ran on a platform of “no new taxes. When elected that lie was forgotten about. Again, from the “above news article/press release: “(Malloy) took an issue that was [behind] closed doors … and really put it out there for people to understand the level of the problem,” said Joe Aresimowicz, the House speaker during the last two years of Malloy’s tenure and first two of Lamont’s. “It takes a different kind of human being to stand up in front of hundreds of people night after night, knowing that they disagree with you, knowing that they’re angry, knowing that they’re going to yell at you, and you keep doing it anyway,” said Roy Occhiogrosso, a senior adviser and campaign strategist for Malloy. “And it was because he believed deeply that you cannot fix the massive problems that he inherited unless you educate people about them first.” “In Dan Malloy’s defense, he was the first guy to at least make the current [pension] payments,” the governor said, “and I respect him for that.” Malloy’s tax hikes forced high earners to pay more..."Lamont ultimately closed his deficit by raising some business taxes and by canceling some sales tax exemptions and previously approved tax cuts that hadn’t taken effect yet. He was spared from increasing the state income tax, which carried the biggest political risk."

None of these characters of the state’s storied past will ever tell you that Malloy's legacy was one of making Connecticut's State Income Tax one of the most progressive in the country to fuel much higher state spending under the guise of paying down state debt. For such a destructive reign of fiscal irresponsibility. Malloy's payoff was getting a political nonjob in Maine via his financial glad-handing of Maine-based Jackson Labs. And when the state pays the freight, no news article is complete without painting Lamont as a discernable improvement over the failures of the past.

But wait! Here’s More! More confirmation of the Lamont economic brilliance is a recent report from Reason Foundation (https://reason.org/commentary/cts-pre-k-endowment-diverts-pension-dollars/). From this report,  Connecticut’s Early Childhood Education Endowment (ECEE) was created to further the state’s efforts to subsidize early childhood education. The goal is commendable. Childcare is expensive, and surely many families in Connecticut could benefit from additional support.

But the financing structure of this endowment is troubling. It redirects surplus dollars that would otherwise have gone toward paying down Connecticut’s severely underfunded public pension systems, setting up the state for future problems.

Connecticut already funds early childhood education through its operating budget. The state approved $418 million for fiscal year 2026 and $443 million for fiscal year 2027, separate from the endowment. These funds are part of the regular budget process, where spending is debated, appropriated, and subject to the state’s fiscal guardrails.

The endowment is different. Starting in fiscal year 2026, it is set to receive any unappropriated General Fund surpluses once the Budget Reserve Fund is at its statutory cap. Before the endowment was created, those surpluses would have continued to support additional contributions to pay the state’s massive pension system debt that is owed to public workers.

Connecticut’s State Employees Retirement System and State Teachers’ Retirement System have a combined unfunded liability of $31.5 billion. These are not optional obligations. These are pension benefits already earned by public employees that are legally binding claims on future state revenues.

Unfunded pension obligations are among the state’s most expensive fiscal risks. When pension funding falls short, the state forgoes investment earnings that would have accrued on contributed assets, increasing long-term costs, and shifting a larger burden to future taxpayers. For decades, Connecticut did exactly that, using funding practices that lowered near-term budget pressure while pushing debts and costs into the future.

But didn’t the above news article/press release tell us Lamont wiped out debt? If that is the case, how is it possible that a mere $31 billion dollars plus in unfunded pension liabilities exists in one place alone? Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? I highly doubt it is Democrat Governor Ned Lamont through his state-run media.

True money does not lie. Connecticut, depending on your periscope, still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. It has moved billions over dollars off budget over the years  and hidden that from public view and comment. Connecticut gives away your tax dollars freely and without oversight through nontransparent agencies such as the Department of Economic and Community Development, which really should be eliminated and via myriad non-profits that no one in elected government wants to stop funding. Connecticut remains a fiscal mess with high debt, high taxes, and a poor business climate.

If you do not mind being ripped off daily, by all means keep voting for incompetent Democrats who are running in November. If you do not mind living in an economic and unaffordable economic sewer where there are few places you can grow and advance, keep voting for incompetent Democrats who are running in November. If you like busting your rear-end to feed the masses, illegal aliens and the entitled, keep voting for incompetent Democrats who are running in November. If you like all the daycare opportunities in-state but have no idea as to how much grift and fraud you are supporting since no politician anywhere cares, keep voting for incompetent Democrats who are running in November. If you want a genuine growing economy that attracts winners rather than a state-supported morass that attracts only politicians, keep voting for incompetent Democrats that are running in November. If you like serial crime and mere lip-service by police agencies to stop the crime as lip-service is all that is allowed, keep voting for incompetent Democrats who are running in November.

 

Maybe, just maybe this election could finally be different if voters see the economic light of darkness that is Ned Lamont and his political hacks who rule Connecticut with an iron fist.

 

Connecticut: Where The Biggest Criminal Is The Government

It is staggering to me and to many others how mired Connecticut participates in various forms of crime of all types, where little to nothing is ever done to cause the perpetrators to account. Moreover, several types of activity such as gambling, weed, and abusive practices with children in educational settings have been made “legal”, regardless of their deleterious effects on the citizenry. Sophisticated patterns of self-dealing, larceny, and financial fraud from high-ranking government officials are as much of a hallmark of the Great Nutmeg State as New Haven Pizza. 

But as the crimes mount and the nationwide shock grows at yet another Connecticut crime, scam, or embarrassment, one thing is for sure:

Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government.

Let’s start with something we are all familiar with. Death. Death is an everyday occurrence in the state of Connecticut. Some deaths are caused by criminals and crime. One such example, which could have been avoided was the senseless death of off-duty Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside,  who was only 38, years old  and passenger Brittany Islami, only 34 years old. Ms. Islami had three children who now have no mother. They were killed by a Melissa Ramirez, who allegedly had a had a blood alcohol content almost twice the legal limit (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/womans-bac-almost-twice-the-legal-limit-in-crash-that-killed-bridgeport-police-officer-girlfriend-in-danbury-warrant/). What was not reported in this state-run media article, (nor, as of the time of this writing was even mentioned by ANY candidate or elected official),  was that Ramirez, was an illegal alien. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement to The New York Post that Ramirez was in the country illegally. (https://nypost.com/2026/07/29/us-news/illegal-migrant-allegedly-killed-connecticut-cop-and-his-girlfriend-in-dui-crash/). This a person who was here illegally, did not have a Connecticut driver’s license according to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, and a substance issue. It is interesting to note that there was little mention in Connecticut's mainstream state-run media as to Ramirez being in our country illegally, because in Connecticut crime is a way of life, and Connecticut is the paterfamilias Criminal.

Would you like a cherry for your sundae? In Plantsville CT, on July 20, a motorcyclist was surrounded during a "Rideout". A "Rideout" is where hundreds of riders of all ages join in, often coordinated through social media and the riders will usually block out public streets and roads from legal users. It is extremely popular in Connecticut and law enforcement officials somehow are never proactive in stopping Rideout’s.  In this “Rideout,” a 58-year-old man on motorcycle was blocked in, was robbed of his cellphone, and was stabbed in the back with screwdrivers allegedly with Kevin Manuel Rodriguez, 20, of Waterbury, and a 13-year-old juvenile from Cheshire being the assailants.  

Rodriguez was charged with:

• Criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault.
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree assault.
• Second-degree assault
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
• Second-degree riot
• Unlawful assembly
• Second-degree threatening
• Second-degree breach of peace

Police said Rodriguez was held on a $500,000 cash/surety bond and was scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Tuesday, July 21.

The juvenile was charged with:

• First-degree robbery
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
• Fourth-degree larceny
• Third-degree assault
• Second-degree riot
• Unlawful assembly
• Two counts of second-degree breach of peace

The juvenile was transported to the Hartford Juvenile Detention Center under an "Order to Detain." (https://patch.com/connecticut/southington/2-arrested-after-southington-rideout-ends-assault-robbery-stabbing-police). I attempted to find his July 21 court appearance but was unable to. There is little follow up information to this case and or to the health status of the man stabbed in the back with screwdrivers.

Two additional questions immediately come to mind for many and remain unanswered. They are Why are "Rideout’s" not being dealt with more aggressively by local Police and State Police as in one of their biggest priorities? And why was bail offered to Rodriguez in the first place for his despicable actions that almost killed an innocent man?

Of course, in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal and enabler, is the state government.

Let us move on to what Connecticut is world-renown for. Voter Fraud! Voter fraud is rampant in Connecticut. Just look at Bridgeport, especially in their absentee ballots/mayor elections as being the model city for these crimes in the number of arrests that have taken place. Bridgeport as we know has a convicted felon as their mayor in "honest" Joe Ganim. Sadly, most arrested never do prison time but are granted probation for their crimes except for Ganim and his wholesale rape of the city. World-famous “ballot stuffer” Wanda Geter-Pataky, and Alfredo Castillo have until August 25th to accept a plea deal from their part in ballot tampering. Many are nervous as to what Wanda may tell (and on whom) on her way to copping a plea.

"Two suspects charged with hundreds of ballot tampering charges in Bridgeport now have four weeks to decide whether to take a plea deal, a judge decided on Tuesday. Former Democratic Town Committee vice chair Wanda Geter-Pataky and current city councilman Alfredo Castillo must decide by August 25 whether to accept an offer from prosecutors or go to trial. They are two of the most prominent faces of the sweeping scandal that made national headlines and forced a re-do of the 2023 mayoral election." (https://connecticut.news12.com/judge-gives-top-bridgeport-ballot-suspects-four-weeks-to-accept-plea-deal)   Castillo: “The lead bosses tell us to do the work, and we do and then we get criminalized. And it’s just not fair.”

Reporter: “Alfredo, when you say the ‘lead bosses,’ who is telling you to do this?”

Castillo: “The [Sen. Chris] Murphys. Everybody, all the Democrats.”

Reporter: “What about Joe Ganim?”

Castillo: “Yeah, he's our mayor.”  

Can it be possible that these two Democrat Party operatives were being told what to do by Joe Ganim and other Democrat Party operatives? Isn't this evidence conclusive that Democrat Party voter fraud is a major issue in the state and just never gets resolved? How can voters have confidence that their vote counts given this constant fraud including people in the state here illegally and voting in unascertainable numbers?

Of course, in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government that enables all of this.

But why stop there.

Remember 2020? Remember Covid-19? Remember Dr. Anthony Fauci? Remember Ned and Annie Lamont selling Covid tests of uncertain accuracy to the state via family equity Sema4? Remember the “pump” of Sema4 stock leading up to a large cash-out by the Lamont family group fueled by $48,000,000 granted or borrowed at a 2% rate from the (should-be-abolished) Department of Economic Development, followed by a huge “dump” of Sema4 stock and subsequent flying lawsuits? Remember Ned Lamont’s close partnership with the modern-day Dr. Josef Mengele (Fauci)? Well, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo remembers quite well, and covered this on his July 30, 2026, episode of THIRTY WITH TONY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUnhkB2qwJc&t=2760s

But in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government, which enables all of this.

In the upcoming election in November, maybe just maybe voters  will realize that Connecticut has reached a breaking point. It has massive crime, massive voter fraud, massive local and state taxes, a crumbling infrastructure, a public educational system that no longer prepares students with functional life and work skills. It has a failed and arrogant state government and administrative state reeking of political nepotism and complete disregard for the Taxpayers who support this quagmire. It has elected officials robbing the state treasury by ostensible outright larcenists like Doug McCrory and Erin Stewart, or sophisticated criminals like those enabling Ned Lamont. It is a truly a Democrat Party controlled Kingdom enabled by a weak form of Republicanism, where the legal working class are the serfs supporting this self-appointed Monarchy of corruption and decline.

But let us be entirely clear, while many hands have made this debacle, the system is truly broken. And the ownership of this mess falls entirely upon the Democrat Party. Get ready for even more of the same in 2026 unless something drastically changes.
