Good Bye To The Lost State Of Connecticut

 A majority of voters spoke this past Tuesday, November 8, 2022.  They told Connecticut that they are embracing and endorsing four more years of a future of an energy crisis especially for heating oil and diesel, food shortages, an illegal drug crisis, a public education crisis, runaway inflation,  mandatory vaccines for children, vaccine passports, personal data collection, massive uncontrollable crime and theft, higher taxes and tolls, and two different set of laws with one not applicable to the Democrat Party (especially Ned Lamont's family hedge fund) and another set that must be followed by the common working men and women of the state.  By the majority of voters' actions this past Tuesday it will be safe to say that Connecticut will be in the same state of emergency, economic despair and social crisis two and four years from now with a Governor and his never ending Covid-19 emergency powers, along with some of the highest tax rates in the country, poorest business rankings in the country and highest per person capita debt in the country.  It looks rather bleak for the state.

Connecticut's problems did not go away this past Tuesday.  Even though a majority of voters have embraced these same problems on Election Day, buyers remorse will set in.  Ned Lamont, whose Republican Candidate for Governor Bob Stefanowski omissively said was not corrupt, nor a "bad guy" (10/27/22 WFSB TV 3 "CT22: A conversation with the Republican candidate for Governor") is in my opinion corrupt and a "bad guy" by his many actions and lack of transparency in his Administration for the past four years.  From his dealings with Sema-4 and his suspicious non profit shell games, no answers to any questions came forth during the campaign which was a major failure to the citizens of Connecticut.  I am confident that these backroom dealings will be going into overdrive in the next few months with zero questioning by Connecticut's obedient state run media. Connecticut Taxpayers will be financing the Lamont's excesses with their tax monies.  You get what you vote for.

Coming out of this election is also the absolute helplessness of the Connecticut Republican Party in my opinion.  With the exception of a few principled Conservatives the party seems hopelessly split into different camps.  One side hates all things of former President Trump with a strong RINO influence almost like the old Rockefeller Republicans and the other side has working men and women who have strong libertarian and conservative principles. Looking at the two failed campaigns of Tom Foley and now two more losses by Bob Stefanowski maybe the next Republican Party candidate for Governor rather than being a multi-millionaire could be a homegrown candidate who is much more in tune with the party, the state and its people.  Maybe it could be a priority for the Republicans that in a state that has over 3.3 million people in it to field candidates in every elected office, every two years.  No more unopposed races.  Maybe they need to look at the efficiencies of the Florida Republican Party and their roadmap to success rather than the u-turns, cowardice, roadblocks and potholes they seem to embrace each campaign and election.  In my opinion there are many hard working members of the Connecticut Republican Party who never get heard year in and year out.  Maybe the party bosses could give them their say and promote their ideas for a change in the coming months.  If what you have been doing has not worked for 30 plus years now why not try something new?  If not, we can certainly look forward to more failures.

So what is next?  I know for me I am contemplating ending my chapter in all things Connecticut politics.   The Connecticut political system and its' state government to me is a deceptive, incoherent, labyrinth of false promises, lies, a "members only" club, and shameless ego gratification that does little to help the Taxpayers who must fund it and must never question it.  I have always been conservative and make no excuses for it.  I believe in personal freedoms and free markets. High taxes, rampant crime, horrific cities, omnipotent one party rule, poor government and suppression of personal freedoms led me to leave.  There are contrary to what the Connecticut Democrat Party wants you to believe, better, and less taxed states to live in throughout our great country.

Thus starting on Saturday November 26 "Swick Speak" will be revamped and will look at more than just Connecticut.  I will continue to write about governmental/political corruption since I despise it and also about how our political system influences our economy to the point that it hurts our economy and capitalism.  The blog will be on a more national level however I will still visit Connecticut's corruption which in my opinion will never end.  

The battle for freedom, transparency in government at all levels,  and the end of corruption in government seems never to end.  I personally will never give up the fight for what is right and just for all Americans.  Connecticut's elected officials, media and state government are examples of what is wrong with our political system and Taxpayer funded governments in 2022.  Never yield for it is truly 1776 all over again.

Sorry You Are Not Better Off Than You Were Two Years Ago

 Are you better off than you were in November 2020?  Two years ago, America had an election that changed the course of both Connecticut and our country in an unrecognizable direction in 2022.  Voters across our country will be voting on Tuesday November 8th to change the direction of Connecticut and our country back to a more normal direction.  We can not go on the way we are being governed by the Democrat Party today.  The time has come for a change in leadership at all levels of government.

Are you better off than you were in November 2020?  Two years ago, America had energy independence, a stable food supply, no inflation, a rational immigration policy and much less crime and theft than we have today.  Today we have a new energy crisis, food shortages, a open border crisis, an illegal drug crisis, a public education crisis, runaway inflation and massive uncontrollable crime and theft.  Voters will take into consideration all the different crises they must face on a daily basis.  How will they afford to heat their homes this winter?  Will there be rolling blackouts? Will there be enough food in stores so they can feed their families?  For those who have babies, will they be able to find baby formula to feed them?  For those who have children in public schools, will they get any education on anything other than sex changes, white supremacy ideology, reverse racism, and bizarre sex acts?  Will they be a victim of crime no matter what time of the day?  Will their children become victims of the illegal drug crisis?  Will they be able to go to a gas station and be able to buy gas without being a victim of crime?  Will their homes and condos be broken into by young career criminals who roam our streets?  Will they become victims of violent criminal acts by illegal immigrants who are allowed freely into our country?  All of these questions go unanswered by the ruling Democrat Party.  In the incoherent gibberish they are force feeding voters, there is nothing wrong at all in our economy and society today.  And more importantly it is not their fault.  It is the fault of President Trump and the Republican Party.

The Democrat Party of Connecticut and America in 2022 may be characterized as a corrupted, demeaning, destructive, economically incoherent, illogical, and a horrific cancer in our state and our country.  We have a President who can barely function mentally and physically.  He takes great pride in condemning Americans who disagree with his policies.  We have a Governor who placed his family's hedge funds profits first while hiding behind the Covid-19 crisis that just never ends.  We have a United States Senator who embraces the Communist Party of America, needing to be in front of the camera at all times yelling about anything and everything while offering zero solutions during his never ending political diatribes.  Throughout our country, pejorative, scornful and stale Democrat Governors, State Legislators, United States Representatives and Senators all demand full compliance and submission to their failed archaic, leftist, and socialistic policies and programs.  Their time comes mercifully to an end on Tuesday November 8th.

The Republican Party of Connecticut and America offer a logical alternative to the absurd and nonsensical policies of the Democrat Party.  The differences between Bob Stefanowski and Ned Lamont are clear.  The differences between Leora Levy and Richard Blumenthal are clear.  The differences between George Logan and Jahana Hayes are clear.  The differences between Mike Francis and Joe Courtney are clear.  The differences are night and day.  

Are you better off than you were in November 2020?   Sorry, you are not better off than you were in November 2020?  You are much worse off under the dictatorial and totalitarian rule of the Democrat Party in 2022.  It is time for a change.  It is time for normalcy again for Connecticut and our country.  It is time for the Republicans to be the real leaders in our state and country we so desperately want and need.  Not the circus that we currently have disguised as government.  A government that are forced to support with our tax dollars.   It is time for a change.  And it is 1776 all over again.

Why Would Anyone Vote Democrat On Election Day? Why?

 I truly wonder why anyone would vote Democrat on Election Day especially in Connecticut?  I can see people who are owned by the Connecticut Democrat Party being forced to vote Democrat.  These groups include state labor unions, state/local teachers unions, businesses that are politically connected to the Democrats and some liberals who are incoherent as to the rape of Connecticut and our country economically and socially by Democrats.  I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens abhor the current state of affairs economically, socially and world wide that has been created by both the Connecticut Democrat Party and National Democrat Party who are led by an incomprehensible, muddled and disconnected President Biden and his handlers.  I also believe that the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens who are voters will be voting based on the severe economic crisis we are living in that has been created by the Democrats.  I also believe that a tsunami of votes against the Democrat Party in Connecticut and across the country has started and will be visible on Election Day November 8, 2022, as a red Republican tidal wave will encompass the country.  In other words the voters will speak stating "They have had enough of the Democrat Party".  

Naysayers exist in the state run media are trying to twist crime, murders, theft of vehicles, unchecked illegal immigration, runaway inflation, an energy crisis, outrageous home heating oil costs, unbearable diesel fuel costs, food left rotting due to its high costs, fake climate change, an illegal drug crisis, a suicide crisis especially among our youth, a public school system only concerned with gender change/political indoctrination, inhumane abortion laws, a war in the Ukraine, a never ending Covid-19 crisis, a barbaric, deadly and forced vaccine mandate for children, Ned Lamont's lies on Sema-4 profits for his family's run hedge fund, and Ned Lamont's lies on suspicious state non profits to name a few issues. The Democrat Party is also constantly blaming all  of these problems somewhere else other than themselves especially on former President Trump.  The lies that have been forced fed to us for two years now have become a chore to listen to on a daily basis. I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens have tuned this Democrat propaganda machine out and are beyond their breaking point in more ways than one.   The majority of Voters see Election Day as a way to dispose of a political party whose hatreds, insecurities, lies, shaming, insults, malicious and harmful actions have brought Connecticut and a free America on the verge of ruin.  The Democrat Party is incapable of leadership or following the rule of law.  Voters have had enough.

It is time for a change in Connecticut and in America in how our government is run and managed.  We as the Taxpayers of our country are forced to support poorly run, economically incoherent and corrupted local, state and federal governments due to the broadside of taxes that are paid out on a daily basis.  Why?  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens be treated in such a horrific manner?  United States citizens did not vote for an elimination of their personal and economic freedoms contrary to what the Democrat Party thinks.  We still have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that are legally binding in America in 2022.

Why would anyone vote Democrat on this Election Day?  Why?  I still believe in the greatness of our country.  I also believe that Voters will reject in full force the lies, deceptions, corruption and evil that the Democrat Party represents in 2022.  The game is over for the Democrat Party.  They have lost badly with their game plan of fraud, misrepresentations and scams.  The great silent majority of real Americans have had enough.  The Red Wave is here.  And it is 1776 all over again.

The Failed Candidacy of Ned Lamont For Governor Of Connecticut

 We know Connecticut's Governors race is heating up as the "hit pieces" by Connecticut's state run media are in full force with their condemnations of Republican candidate for Governor Bob Stefanowski.  Bob Stefanowski is again running against current Governor Ned Lamont and his well- equipped state run media machine.  The media wants to know where Stefanowski gets his income from while Connecticut Taxpayers remain in the dark on how much money did Ned Lamont's family's hedge fund earn from Sema-4? Bob Stefanowski is running again with Connecticut in the worse economic conditions it has seen since the recession of 1990 (which apparently it still has yet to recover from).  Bob Stefanowski is running again with Connecticut as a bottom feeder as far as its economy is concerned in our country.  Connecticut ranks in the bottom five in many economic areas and is one of the highest taxed states in the country.  

Connecticut also has a debt crisis which is being ignored in this campaign as the amount borrowed money from bonds, all other liabilities, unfunded pension liabilities and unfunded retiree health benefits amount to over $100 billion dollars.  If one was to include all the areas of the state budget that has been moved off budget along with other unreported debt, I estimate Connecticut's total debt to be around $125 to $150 billion dollars.  Connecticut's debt to gross domestic product (for Connecticut) ratio is an astounding 22%.  One can assume to be correct in their assumption that it seems like Connecticut is bankrupt.  If the state were to liquidate all of its assets it would not be able to pay off all of its debt.  We are led to believe somehow that Connecticut is a well-run and fiscally managed state when instead it is just the opposite as it teeters on bankruptcy due to years Connecticut Democrat Party rule.   Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party want voters to believe that Connecticut is an efficient and economically well run state, even though there are literally taxes on anything and everything in the state.   Why has Connecticut become a fiscal mess?  Could it be Governor Ned Lamont?

Many questions about his administration remain unanswered.  Why hasn't Ned Lamont come clean and answer how much money did his family's hedge fund earn from Sema-4?  Why hasn't Ned Lamont come clean and answer how much money did his family's hedge fund earn from the forgiven loan the state gave to Sema-4?  Why did the Governor create secret charitable funds to funnel money into and have no oversight to by Connecticut Taxpayers?  Why are laws not enforced to curtail the non-stop crime wave that Connecticut taxpayers must endure on a daily basis?

In my opinion, and that of many others Republican candidate for Governor Bob Stefanowski represents a breath of fresh air from the daily viewing of Lamont's incoherent praises of a shattering Connecticut economy, infrastructure and a never ending crime wave that is costing citizens millions of dollars in losses and higher insurance rates.  Connecticut Voters will be voting with their wallets and pocketbooks in November.  Runaway inflation, runaway home heating costs, corruption in state government and constant crime, theft and murders are the responsibility of Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party.  He is a Governor who has been able to manipulate Taxpayers monies to his family's hedge fund benefit and profit.  He is a  Governor who rules with an iron hand that made up rules and laws during the Covid-19 crisis on the fly with zero respect for the state constitution and or the rule of actual laws in the state.  He is a Governor who makes sure he wants his Democrat Party to be the beneficiaries of any state perk that can be sucked out of the Connecticut Taxpayer.  He is a  Governor who really wants Connecticut Taxpayers to know that they are working for him, his family's hedge fund and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Connecticut voters  are seeing first hand the failed candidacy of a Governor who has horrifically failed the people who he supposedly represents.    Voters have had enough.  

And it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Corrupt Democrat Party Elephants In The Living Room

Connecticut's corrupted Democrat Party has many elephants in the living room.  The expression "elephant in the living room" may not be known to everyone.  It basically means that there is an obvious problem that is known and seen by all but it is not talked about.  Corruption in my opinion reigns supreme in Connecticut's state government that is run by the Democrat Party.  The same party that has been in control of state government for well over 30 plus years.  And Connecticut is really not getting any better any time soon with the Connecticut Democrat Party led by Ned Lamont in power.

I am fascinated by the elephants in the living room that the Lamont Administration keeps avoiding with a dormant and complacent (if not complicit), state run media.  How about a real answer to the Sema-4 debacle?   How much money and or profits did the Lamont's hedge fund earn from Sema-4 testing and during the time of the public offering of Sema-4?  Why was such a 2% interest "sweetheart loan" deal made in total silence between Sema-4 and the State of Connecticut?  Where is your personal information going to when it was taken by Sema-4 in the name of Covid-19 testing? Will this personal data be sold to the highest bidder in a bankruptcy proceeding if Sema4 continues to falter? Why is Sema-4 an investment in the Connecticut Employee Retirement Plan?

Advance CT is another example of an elephant in the living room.  I have written about them in the past and my good friend Tony De Angelo has talked about in depth on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci show on 94.9 WJJF, New London, CT.  CERC (Connecticut Economic Resource Center) was around for 25 years and somehow was renamed and spawned a second sham Advance CT organization due to the covert actions of Ned Lamont.  It is a complex organization that has been funded partially by Connecticut Taxpayers with the state paying $2.356 million dollars for items such as marketing, a pass through grant, sponsorship and out of state travel according to Opencheckbookct.  We do not  know their budget, nor what they pay their employees.  Advance CT is apparently considered a non profit that supposedly brings all sorts of new jobs and companies to Connecticut since it such a robust and dynamic economy according to their website Advancect.org.   In reality, according to their 2021 Annual Report they have done very little in the actual creation of new jobs, and or having companies wanting to move to Connecticut.  Through Tony's digging we do know that the clandestine Covid-19 Reopen CT "advise and consent" style group did run (or runs?) in Advance CT under the oversight of Lamont family business associate Dr. Zeke Emmanuel, and the mega-controversial multi-national consulting firm, McKinsey. So we have charitable organizations, exempt from public disclosure, employing the McKinsey consulting company in the functions of government, and citizens have no idea what is taking place.  And Connecticut Taxpayers help support this ostensibly racketeering "non profit"?  For what reason?  Why is there continuing media and political silence for these acts, that are highly illicit at best?

It is obvious to many that Connecticut's corrupt Democrat Party has many elephants in the living room.  Elected officials have turned a deaf ear to them and the result is corruption, theft and deception to Connecticut Taxpayers.  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers monies go to non-profits with no strings attached nor any accountability in the spending of their funds?  Why does Connecticut's state run media avoid at all costs investigative reporting of Ned Lamont's dealings while condemning daily what the income of Gubernatorial challenger Bob Stefanowski may be?  Doesn't Ned Lamont have more wealth than Stefanowski at this point, at least some of which is taking place in offshore tax havens?  But these points are never raised, as it is obvious to see the incredible bias the media has against all things Republican.  It is a debacle that really needs to be addressed once and for all as Connecticut Taxpayers should not be the personal slaves to Connecticut's corrupt Democrat Party and Ned Lamont's many elephants in the living room.  Honesty would be refreshing for a change but we know that can never happen in Connecticut. 

Political corruption is accepted, embraced and glorified by all involved in Connecticut.  Connecticut which used to be known as the "Constitution State" should be renamed the "Pachyderm State", or perhaps the second "Jungle Habitat".  Remember that when you vote in November.  And remember more importantly that it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Public Education Crisis Needs A Solution

 There are many problems with Connecticut's public education.  An education that is provided by local governments from Kindergarten through 12th grade for all children.  At one time Connecticut had a strong public education system.  It stressed a coherent pattern of subjects that guided a student in his or her learning journey, building from one grade to the next with the skills and tools essential to learn many different subjects, many different skills and many different learning tools.  The student would gain a strong education that would prepare them when they graduated High School.  At one time, our public schools graduated students who had a strong balance of knowledge in many different subject areas such as the Arts, English, a Foreign Language including Latin, History, Physical/Health Education, Math, Music, Science, and Social Science.  Students were taught how to analyze, logically think, and the function of decision making and its consequences.  There was a respect between students and teachers along with a great deal of parental involvement and responsibility found in the schools.  Some students went to college, some students went on to learn a trade, some students did fail, but for the most part those who wanted to learn did and excelled in their lives be it with a college degree or a working trade.  Students went on to marry and raise families and the cycle of life moved forward.  Connecticut and America were able to move forward from generation to generation.

What happened?  In 2022 we are facing a complete implosion of our public education system.  It is failing at all grades and at all levels. It has evolved into an indoctrination of an incoherent mess of illogical liberal thought that features gender change, critical race theory, white supremacy, a rewritten history to fulfill a socialistic agenda, biological boys competing against girls in sports, an obsession about sexual orientation, and a total lack of respect and regard for the parents of school aged children.   Teachers are chosen based on their religion, political belief, and race rather than their abilities to actually teach.  This has been admitted through the recent exposure of the prejudice in hiring practices in Greenwich, CT.  Students during the Covid-19 crisis missed almost two years of school with online learning and the mandatory mask mandate they had when attending schools in person.  The lack of learning along with both the physical and psychological damage done to our children because of these draconian measures will be felt for decades.   Inner city schools are a horrific mess with many students failing in the classroom only to be passed on to the next grade while many inner city students have stopped going to schools all together.  And inner city school administrators apparently are at a loss to do anything about this.  Thus our public school systems are failing our students, our parents, the Connecticut Taxpayers who have to pay taxes to support this education debacle and our society as a whole by graduating ill equipped and ill prepared students.  

What are the solutions, if any?  The line seems to have been drawn in the sand with regards to Connecticut's public education system.   The Connecticut Democrat Party led by Ned Lamont want to continue indoctrination into a incoherent mess of illogical liberal thought that features gender change, critical race theory, white supremacy, a rewritten history to fulfill a socialistic agenda, biological boys competing against girls in sports, an obsession about sexual orientation, and a total lack of respect and regard for the parents of school aged children.   The union that represents public education teachers seem also to back this agenda as they have not spoken out against it.  The Connecticut Republican Party with Gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski has offered an alternative with their courageous "Parental Bill of Rights" (bobforgovernor.com/2022/09/06/stefanowski-devlin-announce-parental-bill-of-rights/).  This platform is a start towards a solution in bringing back a more coherent and functional public education system by once again empowering parents over the raising of their children from more school choices such as magnet, charter and technical schools to decision about health and care for their children.  To me it is a breath of fresh air as common sense can start to be brought back for parents, students and the public education system.  Again this is a start, and I recommend all to read it.  The condemnation of this platform by Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party was expected.  But remember that Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party has nurtured this education debacle and embrace its failures.  Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party wish to control our children and make them enmesh and entrap these failed liberal ideas that are damaging our state and country.  Why have so many parents pulled their children out of public schools over the past two years?

As someone who has taught college level students for 40 years now I have seen a general decline in students as to both their learning skills and an ability to learn.  I have many students who are successful in class but sadly I have many who are not.  What is public education trying to teach?  To me it is no longer a strong balance of knowledge in many different subject areas, but an incoherent rhetoric that does nothing to prepare our children for their future.  Connecticut and our country in general will be hard pressed in the future if public education continues on this failed politically correct curriculum.  We will fast become a nation that is bankrupt as far as careers, technical skills, and family values.  Our economy will not be functioning.  Are these the children we want as our future leaders?  I do not think so.

Parents must raise their children.  Government should not be raising our children.  Public schools should not be brainwashing our children.  Children must be able to have a coherent environment in order to learn and to be able to think.  This are not theories these are facts.  Those who teach and are experts in their field should be hired even if they are Catholic or conservative.  Once again we have yet another example of failed Connecticut Democrat Party policies.  The system is broken and needs to be repaired immediately.  Children are not pawns of our political system.

And guess who has to clean up their debris and rubble?  We know it will not be Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party.  And it is 1776 all over again.

Ned Lamont And The Connecticut Democrat Party Lies For The Election

 Lies are not truth no matter what Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party try to spin them as.  Listening to the Ned Lamont campaign and its boasts, one wonders what state and country it is talking about.  Since there are few brave investigative journalists in the state, the lies need to be addressed.

Here are some lies for the election:  The state economy is bouncing back, new jobs are being created, new businesses are forming!  Bouncing back from what?  There are 36,500 less jobs today than there were when Ned and his company became Governor four years ago.  Also, Connecticut has only regained 80% of the jobs it has lost since the 2008 Great Recession.  Thus in 14 years since the 2008 Great Recession, the state continues to struggle and continues to be a bottom five state in the country, as far as its economy and job creation is concerned.  It is the same thing for the state Gross Domestic Product that has dropped while the rest of the country's has gone up.  While we are at it, Ned Lamont stated, and then apparently took back the lie that he did not raise taxes. The amount of new taxes that were enacted in his administration were astronomical given the economic conditions the state has been in.  One tax in particular will help to raise the cost of living dramatically in the state has been the truck mileage tax, which now assesses trucks driving through the state even more since all vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds will be required to pay a vehicle miles traveled tax for every mile driven in the state. The tax ranges from 2.5 cents per mile for trucks weighing 26,000-28,000 pounds to 17.5 cents per mile for vehicles weighing more than 80,000 lbs.  That fact seems to be overlooked in Lamont's lies on new taxes.  Who gets to pay this new tax?  Of course all Connecticut residents who use a service in the state involving a truck and users of products delivered by a truck.  Higher retail prices are in store for consumers thanks to this Ned Lamont new tax.  Again Connecticut has one of the highest tax rates in the country.  Connecticut's tax system ranks 47th overall on according to the 2022 State Business Tax Climate Index. (taxfoundation.org). This is the record that Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party have lied to you about during this election.

The Sema4 question still has not gotten answered.  What was the role of the Lamont's family hedge fund with Sema 4? How was there no conflict of interest seen between the Governor and this company?  Is there any accountability for it and or questioning by any state oversight agency as to the money spent?  Again we still do not have answers from two years ago as to the companies that have had investments made in them by Oak HC/FT Partners relating to the Covid-19 crisis include "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Infomatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD" to name some.   They seem to all have ties to Connecticut also in the form of contracts to do business with the State of Connecticut, its non profits, or surrounding states via no bid contracts.  Connecticut Taxpayers deserve answers from Ned Lamont, not more lies on this.

Another lie is a fair and equitable public school system for the youth of the state.  Connecticut's youth have suffered dramatically during the Covid-19 crisis by not being able to show their faces, not having classes in person, and being basically prisoners in their own homes.  Today, more and more evidence shows the damage these draconian rules did to a generation of our children.  It really did not make them safe from anything and there are many new severe issues for our youth with depression, drug abuse and suicides being dealt with.  Ned Lamont's policies did a great deal of damage.  The new lie that was just exposed this week by Project Veritas was the discrimination against teachers who are of the Catholic religion and or have conservative values/ideas in a school in Greenwich, CT.  The bombshell video looks at the  Greenwich Public School System but has overtones to many school districts in the state who in all probability do the same thing.  Last I knew we still had freedom of religion in our country.  This discrimination is horrific and continues a real vote of no confidence whatsoever in the Connecticut Taxpayer funded public school systems.  Between politically motivated teachings of ultra liberalism and liberal thought to gender change and grotesque sexuality, our public schools are a failure.  Is this what we really want our schools to be teaching our children?  This lie of employment discrimination that is illegal in Connecticut shows the massive disrespect school administrators have for their students and parents in these schools.  The spin on this video was expected by the Attorney General and his Democrat Party.  How long will Mr. Tong wait to genuinely investigate this situation?  Until after the election I assume.  It is just more lies being force fed by Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party.

This is just a random sampling of lies presented by Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party.  I know the majority of hard working Connecticut taxpayers do not support this charade called state government have had enough of the lies, the mind control, the forced economic slavery of excessive taxation to support a bloated state government that destroys basically anything it touches.  Liberals can defend Democrats all they want.  However we still have in Connecticut massive crime, theft, murders, runaway inflation,  home winter heating costs that are not affordable, a failed public school system, an overpaid state unionized workforce with salaries/benefits not seen anywhere in the economy, an illegal drug crisis killing our youth, and Connecticut's short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities of $150 billion dollars.  That is an amazing record to run for re-election on.  It is the truth that Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party is running on.  Failures everywhere and a destruction of the state that once was know as the "Constitution State", but now known as the "Destruction State", since its ethics, its economic vibrancy, its private business, its educational system and its people have been destroyed by a failed liberal Democrat agenda.  Remember that when you vote on Election Day.  And its is 1776 all over again.

The $45,150,000 Ned Lamont Sema-4 Debacle For Connecticut Taxpayers

 What's another $45,150,000 to Connecticut Taxpayers who are already in debt for roughly $150 billion dollars of short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities at this time?  The $45,150,000 is what Sema 4 has been able to obtain with little to no oversight in Covid-19 and Genomics testing from the State of Connecticut.  Loans and unknown billings and payments that in many cases continue not to be reconciled nor disclosed as of today.  This is all public information as found on the website: (/opencheckbook.ct.gov/#!/year/All%20Years/explore/0-/vendor/SEMA4+GENOMICS/1/service).  My good friend Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci radio show on 94.9 WJJF New London, CT has been talking about these payments for over two years now and I have written about them on several occasions.  Incredibly Sema 4 is now laying people off.  250 Connecticut employees were laid off and the Branford location will be closing at the end of the year.  They apparently are moving to Maryland.

But wait! What about the State of Connecticut loan of $15 million dollars to this politically connected company?  Will that be repaid?  Or was it a typical Connecticut Democrat Party loan that does not need to be paid back nor accounted for in the corrupted political world of Connecticut since it apparently was approved in secret?   Why are many of the invoices that Sema 4 was paid for still not reconciled in the state ledger?  What did Sema 4 do with the State of Connecticut loan money?  What was the role of the Lamont's family hedge fund with Sema 4 and how was there no conflict of interest seen between the Governor and this company?  Is there any accountability for it and or questioning by any state oversight agency as to the money spent?  We still do not have answers from two years ago as to the companies that have had investments made in them by Oak HC/FT Partners relating to the Covid-19 crisis include "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Infomatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD" to name a few.   They seem to all have ties to Connecticut also in the form of contracts to do business with the State of Connecticut, its non profits, or surrounding states via no bid contracts.  Connecticut Taxpayers still do not how much profit was made by Oak HC/FT Partners and the Lamont family  from these contracts and or companies.  What about a securities fraud law firm, asking for an investigation of Sema4 Holdings Corp. on behalf of its investors this past week?  Again why is this not an issue in the current campaign for Governor?  Why can't Connecticut Taxpayers get answers?

Why does corporate welfare continue in Connecticut?  Do Connecticut Taxpayers and the economy gain anything other than lies and smoke screens from corporate welfare?  What purpose and economic value did the $45,150,000 worth of payments provide Connecticut Taxpayers?  Why was Sema 4 given a $15, 000,000 loan only to have their business decline, lay workers off and basically move out of state?  No questions asked by any elected official in the state about this.  

Truth continues to be in short supply with Ned Lamont, his family's hedge fund and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Ned Lamont really needs to come clean with the secret web he has woven around his financial interests financed by the Connecticut Taxpayers.  The Connecticut Democrat party lead by  Ned Lamont apparently feels that Connecticut Taxpayers need to be enslaved by them and their financial interests.  The Connecticut Democrat party led by Ned Lamont created a great deal  of economic damage because of their Covid-19 restrictions, decrees and ruthless shutdowns of the states economy.  They decided  it was OK for for those elderly and ill trapped in homes and rehab centers due to their incoherent "health and safety" guidelines to die a slow death from Covid-19.  It is sickening what this state has gone through because of these policies.  The failures of Ned Lamont can not be seen nor spoken about by the state run media as his only concern has been making a buck off Connecticut Taxpayers.  Enough is enough.

And it is 1776 all over again

Why Can't Poor People Feel Safe In Democrat Controlled Crime Infested Connecticut Cities?

Does anyone think that poor people who live in the most crime infested cities in Connecticut feel safe?  I am talking about those people who are poor even  though they may be working, elderly on fixed incomes and or those who are disabled that are forced to live in the crime driven cities of Bridgeport, Hartford and or New Haven.  I am not talking about the illegal drug dealers, slum lords and or criminals that walk freely and are never prosecuted for their crimes in these same streets.  Three cities that are all led by the Democrat Party and three cities that have received massive bailouts over the years financed by Connecticut Taxpayers.  What really has this never ending Democrat one party rule help provide them?  Massive crime?  Massive illegal drug dealing, illegal drug use and drug overdoses too numerous to mention?  The same inhumane living conditions that have been part of these cities since the 1970's?  Failing schools where students are pushed through grades to be promoted even though they can not master basic reading and writing skills?  I really wonder sometimes why the Connecticut Democrat Party wants to inflict these substandard and horrific living conditions on these poor people while they live in their sheltered police protected worlds of gated homes and communities.  While those who are poor even  though they may be working, elderly on fixed incomes and or those who are disabled, must live a lawless inferno of crime, drugs and murders in these same cities, and fear for their lives daily.  

However I still know Connecticut citizens who have lived and worked their entire lives in these cities and still somehow believe in their cities and are still living and working there.  I also know many who have fled to much safer places both in and out of Connecticut.  Having taught at an inner city Community College in New Haven for many years I saw a general decline first hand in the city.   I also had many minority students ask me for career advice so that they could get out of the slums of their city and lead a better life.  For many years on the first two nights of class I would bring in notebooks, paper, binders and supplies to give out to the students and I would never come home with anything left.  On the last night of class I would lecture my students as to never being broke, to depend on themselves to be successful and at the end of the lecture I would give them Presidential dollar coins for both themselves and children/grandchildren (if they had any) telling them that they can and will succeed in life and never be broke.   I tried to help them as best I could as I could see the helplessness on many of their faces.  I did have several students in these classes become great success stories in that they were able to graduate from college, have a successful career and raise their loving families.  Many left the cities they were born in.  They left the dysfunctional,  debilitated and politically poisoned cities of their youth knowing these cities are not getting better any time soon.    Also I am saddened to know that many of my students could not handle college and quit, failed and or dropped out.  I can never forget one of the last times I left my night class from that same inner city Community College in New Haven while I was going to my car (I no longer teach there), I was shocked.  I saw the waste of a city with homeless people on the sidewalks, being asked for money by panhandlers and individuals who in my opinion needed psychological help.  To me it was both sad and pathetic.  Why did it get this bad? 

Why have these cities descended into this cesspool of crime forcing those people who are poor even  though they may be working, elderly on fixed incomes and or those who are disabled that are forced to live there fearing for their lives daily?  I am fascinated by the Democrat multi-millionaire politicians who rule Connecticut such as Ned Lamont, Richard Blumethal and Rosa DeLauro and have been in power for years really could care less for these poor people.  Because if they really cared they would be advocates of enforcing criminal laws and prosecuting criminals, supporting the police forces of these communities not de-funding them, eliminating illegal drugs flowing into those cities by cartels who now roam free at our borders by closing our borders, and getting people essential psychological help who now are allowed to live in squalor on the streets rather than micromanaging Covid-19 for their own financial and political benefit.  It is pathetic.

Changes are essential in Connecticut's large crime infested cities.  People who are poor even  though they may be working, elderly on fixed incomes and or those who are disabled that are forced to live in these same cities deserve the same freedom from crime that our Democrat multi-millionaire politicians who rule Connecticut such as Ned Lamont, Richard Blumethal and Rosa DeLauro enjoy in their gated security based compounds.  Again crime, murder, and illegal drug use should not be the norm and an inherent part of people lives who live in the cities.  That is why we used to have a legal system to address crime, murder and illegal drugs but in 2022 we apparently no longer have this luxury in the state.  Somehow in theory liberalism eliminated all these bad things in our cities while in reality liberalism has only made it worse.

I think many people are fed up with these ruthless violations of both their personal freedoms and safety that happen on a daily basis.  They want answers not more lies being force fed them daily by elitist politicians who have little perception of reality.  They want a chance at a better life. Why can't they have it?  Why are they suppressed and always conquered by carpetbagging politicians?  

 And it is 1776 all over again.

Unmask Our Kids For The School Year Once And For All

Back to school in person?  That is an interesting concept.  But not with a few catches.  The mask seems to be back in certain cases and situations.  And the never ending Covid-19 testing seems to back.  My initial question is why can't our bodies natural immunity system become once again our best weapon against this flu virus?  And why is there such a rush to vaccinate our children who have the ability to fight off germs, disease and illness better than any other age groups?  And how much mental health damage has been done to our children over the past two years with not being able to have classes in person and when in person being forced to wear a mask in some cases over eight hours a day?  How healthy is that?

"test, mask, go" is the new catchy with it phrase that the Connecticut Department of Public Health  is using to apparently force schools to once again meet in person rather remotely.  Children who have a fever or test positive for Covid-19 are being asked to stay home.  However if a child exhibits mild respiratory symptoms you will need to test the child and if they test negative get a mask on them and send them to school.  What a difference two years make especially when it is an election year.  The Connecticut Public Health Department also wants all children to be vaccinated along with their Covid-19 booster shots.  Thus we see a great reversal of the draconian mandates of a two years ago.  Has a sufficient amount of damage been done to our children from the last two years, therefore these new suggestions?  Or how about parents have the common sense to keep a sick child home?  Why are children being forced to test and what about parents who refuse to test their children?  How does one define "mild respiratory symptoms"?  What happens when you have a normal cold?  You need a test for that now?  This health policy like any other Connecticut Department of Public Health policy makes little sense to me and I am sure many others.  And parents should be upset about it.

The last two school years of the never ending Covid-19 crisis has done a great deal of damage to our most precious resource; our children.  Our children have been forced to wear masks.  Our children have been forced to not be able to communicate with their classmates nor see their faces.  Our children have been forced to listen to gender identity propaganda. Our children have been forced to listen to sex change propaganda.  Our children have been forced to listen to critical race theory propaganda.  Our children have been forced to listen to politically correct history.  Our children have been forced to be subjected to concepts that defy rational thought.  For what reason?  And who is profiting from these decisions?  We still do not know how much in profits the Lamont's Family Hedge Fund made from Covid-19 testing for the past two years. Or how much they will make now with children having to be tested.

 Remember the damage that has been done to a generation of our children by the illogical, incoherent and daily changing mandates of the Lamont regime.  How many children are now drug addicts and or have committed suicide during these past two years of madness?  The concerns of a ruling political class was made a priority over the health and well being of our children.  Why did our children have to suffer?  Unmask Our Kids.  Today and every day.  There are not needed and do not work.  Remember this on Election Day.   And it is 1776 all over again. 

Connecticut's Race To Hit Economic Bottom. The Democrats Seem To Be Winning This One.

 Economic failures seem to be prevalent in Connecticut.  State government actions during the never ending Covid-19 crisis since March 2020 put many business permanently out of business and eliminated many jobs in the state.  The net result is a state that is firmly entrenched as a bottom five state in business development, high costs to operate a business, the high cost of living, a horrifically poor road and bridge system with non existent traffic enforcement, high insurance costs, excessive crime, excessive laws and regulations and incredibly high taxes.  It is in the top five for highest taxes in the country.  It has a net migration of its population moving out of the state.  Connecticut seems to be in a race to reach an economic bottom in our country.  To me and many others the Connecticut Democrat Party seems to be winning this race hands down. 

Coupled with these business and economic problems Connecticut government is very inept and overwhelmed when dealing with a basic service, problem and or crisis as we have seen during the never ending Covid-19 crisis.  A crisis that still exists until this day according to "businessman" Governor by decree Ned Lamont.  Lamont seems to be running for reelection viewing the state he has brought to its knees economically as a Utopia of the promised land where there is no crime, there are no murders, businesses flourish, people and  businesses can not wait to move into the state and the state is a place of abundance, caring, sharing and economic freedom.  Sadly it is a pipe dream compared to the distorted and horrific economic conditions that really exist of unchecked crime, drug abuse, murder, runaway inflation, excessive taxes and a lack of economic and personal freedoms especially in the inner cities of the state.  Many government agencies especially those that attempt to deal with social and or economic issues seem lost as to creating any coherent policies to resolve the issues that have plagued this state since the early 1990's.  It seems like every year is the same with the same social and economic problems that have only gotten worse year in and year out due to the complacency of a stale and inept politically correct government.  

How did Connecticut reach this bottom?  The blame is pointed by many in many different directions.  Democrats somehow blame the minority Republican Party and President Trump, the Republicans blame situations and some Democrats, Connecticut Taxpayers are blamed for not paying enough in taxes, public schools are blamed promoting/graduating students who lack basic skills to live in society, courts are to blame for not punishing criminals but somehow blaming victims, state agencies blame businesses for trying to operate in the state's command economy system rather than a free economic system that is seen in many other states, and it seems that those who are elected officials daily deflect blame for any of their unaccounted for actions and poor economic choices they make that have created this economic quagmire.  I really can not see those in power taking responsibility for their actions.  Just a constant victim blame game called state government.  It is comical to watch.

Thus when legal Connecticut voters go to the voting booth in November they face a troubling choice.  If they buy the gibberish of the Connecticut Democrat Party they confirm the harsh economic bottom they will be dug into with no way out.  If they vote Republican they are hoping and praying for some changes to take place so that their lives improve and that they end their economic slavery to an out of touch reality state government.  It is a stark choice.  Either to allow the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont to win this illogical race to the economic bottom and economic ruin or hopefully restart the state on a path to social and economic freedom as it once was when the state was known as the "Constitution State".  What a decision to make.  And it is 1776 all over again.

 

The Moral Bankruptcy Of Democrat Led Connecticut

Full-blown moral bankruptcy is now here in Connecticut.  For all of its legal citizens and taxpayers to see and experience.  Compliments of the Connecticut Democrat Party.  My good friend Tony De Angelo recently discussed his thoughts on moral bankruptcy on his weekly segment this past Tuesday July 5th on the Lee Elci radio program heard on WJJF 94.9 FM, New London, CT.

Connecticut is a state where many non logical and incoherent concepts and ideas are force fed its citizens.  Murder for example can not be punishable by the death penalty since that is considered to be inhumane.  Was it inhumane for the person or persons to be murdered by an individual in the first place?  Why is murder allowed and is so prevalent in Connecticut?  The one who commits the murder is spared his or her life.  Why?  Drug overdoses and drug deaths are commonplace in the state as there is now a free flow of drug cartels operating out of the open Mexican borders to our country providing illegal drugs everywhere.  Is it essential that these borders are open to facilitate a drug cartel operation that kills and murders many of our teenagers and young adults in the state?  Marijuana and its derivatives have become legal in the state and the state has embarked upon a very complex licensing program that does not offer any logic as to who sells these "legal" drugs.  Legal drugs will be sold in the state, the state profits and more lives will be disrupted and more drug addicts created all for greater state tax revenue.  Is this the best economic stimulation that the state can come up with-illegal now legal drugs?  

What is next?  Heroin shooting galleries licensed by Connecticut's Department of Health?  Why is this allowed?  Children in schools rather than being taught essential skills to live and have careers are taught now instead about critical race theories, racism, a rewriting of American history, gender identification to the point of changing your sex before you are a teen without your parent's permission, how to wear a mask and the essential need to be vaccinated against a flu virus.  Why be a child today with the amount of depressing and incoherent political ideologies being force fed them?  Political ideologies that make our youth ill suited for any type of job or career or have an ability to raise a family?  Doesn't a child's parent have custody and are responsible for the child's well being and education from right versus wrong-not a failed, false narrative created by a liberal state government that is being jammed down their throats?  I can see why home schooling will be the norm for the future education of our children.  Education is not education in any sense of the word whatsoever in our schools today.

And why is abortion a guaranteed right of our state constitution that must be paid for by Connecticut Taxpayers up to a child that is considered full term when delivered?  Doesn't the unborn child have any rights when its heart starts beating?  Why are Christians in the state disrespected and vilified when they disagree with abortion?  Why isn't freedom of speech allowed when one disagrees with the concepts and morals of abortion?  If in theory it is your body and you have control over it why are we not allowed to reject an unproven vaccine for a flu virus and not lose your jobs, businesses and homes over it as has been seen with the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  Is abortion safer than the Covid-19 virus?  Don't both abortions and Covis-19 kill?  What about the 63 million deaths attributed to abortion since 1973?  Why would a state want to be known as an "abortion getaway'?  Why would a business want to move to such a morally bankrupt state such as Connecticut with the economic quagmire it is engulfed in of high taxes, high energy costs, excessive state short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities of $150 billion dollars, poor infrastructure, political corruption, absurd and senseless rules and laws along with a corrupted state government?  This is being "inclusive'?  

And Christians need not be afraid of speaking up.  I believe that the majority of Americans have strong moral religious beliefs and are sick and tired of this freak show called America that is displayed to them daily by an incomprehensible state run media of political correctness blabbering gibberish minute by minute, 24 hours a day, to advance their failed agenda of communism, socialism and totalitarianism in our free country.   

Moral bankruptcy has engulfed Democrat led Connecticut for years now.  Moral bankruptcy seems to the norm for the Democrat Party of America.  A lack of morals, a lack of ethics, a lack of truth and a lack of leadership has helped to trap its legal citizens into a morass of butchery, lies and deception.  It is a modern day trip through a Dante's like Inferno of a distorted and ill begotten path towards both economic and societal ruin.    It is Connecticut in 2022.  A Connecticut that is a living social and economic nightmare thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party.   That is the reality of Connecticut.  And it is 1776 all over again.

What Are The Solutions To The Connecticut Democrat Party's Economic Failures?

I look back at the last two years since the Covid-19 economic crisis was bestowed upon Connecticut and wonder what really happened?  I also look back at the last 30 years and wonder why Connecticut has regressed so badly economically and socially?   Years of  omnipotent one party rule of the Connecticut Democrat Party along with a feeble and timidity moderate Republican Party in many cases has helped to nurture Connecticut into a vast economic wasteland of high taxes, excessive laws and regulations, an arrogant and elitist state union work force, a political patronage system of Connecticut Taxpayer funded state jobs, excessive electric costs, secret "quasi public" agencies, a total lack of economic transparency and a general sense of economic Armageddon on a daily basis.  This year's election highlights how this same economic Armageddon is being talked up by the Connecticut Democrat Party as how great of an economic utopia Connecticut really is.  What economic world does the Connecticut Democrat Party live in?  And realistically what is the economic breaking point for Connecticut Taxpayers with runaway Democrat inflation, $5 a gallon for gas, $6 a gallon for home heating oil, state and local taxes anywhere and everywhere along with an even higher state diesel tax on July 1?

Connecticut is in an economic free for all due to the mountain of economic problems that have been created by the Connecticut Democrat Party over the years.  The cure all Connecticut state income tax has been a ticket to increase spending massively since its passage and has done little to stabilize Connecticut's economy.  Look at the state budget now.  Why is over $24 billion dollars being spent on a yearly basis in a state as small as Connecticut and with as few legal citizens that it has?  What are Connecticut Taxpayers getting for their money and their excessive taxes they are paying the state?  Connecticut's elected officials continue to avoid a real solution to the massive $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt, along with unfunded liabilities or in simpler terms the $62,500 plus of debt each legal Connecticut resident must be burdened with living in the state.  This along with the massive amount of corruption in state government should be the two defining issues in the Governor's race.  Sadly it is not.

For too long in Connecticut Taxpayers work around the clock to pay the taxes to support the economic debacle called state government.  With the precious few exceptions in the State House and State Senate, our elected officials are political puppets of the special interest groups that have elected them.  Look at the high property taxes in Bridgeport, New Have and Hartford.  Look at the crime, murders and lack of economic mobility in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.  

And look at who has run Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford forever.  

Thus can we offer any economic solutions to Connecticut's Democrat Party induced economic crisis?   What Connecticut really needs is an overhaul of its state government and massive privatization of state agencies and departments to create greater economic efficiencies in state government.  Since that will not happen as the sacred cow in Connecticut is public labor unions, then what are the alternatives?  

First Connecticut needs to cut its bloated state budget.  Connecticut's government must learn to do more with less as Connecticut Taxpayers must with the runaway Democrat inflation they are dealing with.  As a start all state management employees should be instructed by the Governor that their budgets need to be cut by 10% immediately.  Figure it out, find a way and solution now.  Connecticut taxpayers are led to believe that these highly paid Commissioners and managers are the best and brightest in the state so they should be able to do this.  Or is it reality that these same Commissioners and managers are ill suited and unqualified to lead their departments as they are only political patronage jobs from both parties so that the donor can be rewarded for that big campaign donation and or no bid state contract?

Second every Connecticut state agency, associated non-profit, and "quasi public" needs a full forensic audit and public online document disclosure  from top to bottom.  A full accounting of every penny spent, every piece of equipment, every building and piece of real estate owned.  If items are missing find them and account for them.  See where money is being spent and wasted.  I can only imagine how much fraud and monetary losses this encompasses.  

Third since Connecticut would be cutting the budget by over $2 billion dollars as a start with its 10% cut in every department, then $2 billion dollars in taxes need to be cut immediately.  Start with cutting taxes that will spur the most economic activity in the state to once again stimulate the economy that in turn creates more productive tax revenues.  And eliminate all corporate business tax subsidies and giveaways, including the failed Department of Economic and Community Development.  It has done little to nothing for the state economy other than to waste Connecticut taxpayers hard earned money and should be viewed as political payoffs especially for Ned Lamont's family hedge fund.  

There are solutions to the Connecticut Party's economic failures over the past 30 years.  But the changes are severe and politically unpopular.  And the larger question that is never answered is why must Connecticut Taxpayers continue to support this malignant munificence upon a political ruling class that clearly has no ability to govern and represent the common citizens its supposedly represents?  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers support this year in and year out?  And where are the solutions being spoken by the minority party through this economic tsunami?  Think about this as you are forced to pay your mandated taxes to the State of Connecticut to support this incoherent and costly gibberish that is claimed as law.  It really is 1776 all over again.

More Questions With No Answers On Connecticut's Genome Profit Testing

 My blog last week dealt with the costs and privacy issues of Sema-4's genome testing on Connecticut residents who have apparently been tested for Covid-19.  Last Tuesday Tony De Angelo who has a weekly radio spot with Lee Elci on WJJF 94.9 FM radio in New London, CT continued to question these issues with Ned Lamont, Sema-4,  payments to Sema-4, and genome testing.  Again this past week there has been deafening silence from the state run media and from both political parties on these severe breaches of continuing payments to Sema-4 and your medical privacy.  More payments were made this past week to Sema-4.  They include $2,905,575. on June 14, 2022 and $1,623,075 on June 15, 2022.  Prior to this $2.1 million dollars worth of payments were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.  Sema-4 then received $6.6 million dollars in payments from April 30, 2022 to June 2, 2022.  Why all these payments?  Is Connecticut healthier now than before?  It does not seem so especially with all of the different Democrat Party related crisis Connecticut citizens must deal with such as infant formula shortages, rampant crime and theft, runaway inflation for food, businesses moving out of the state, a nursing shortage, runaway inflation for gasoline, diesel, and heating oil and high local/state taxes.

My questions that apparently will not get answered anytime soon are as follows as related to genome testing: How are all of these payments made possible with little evidence of purchase orders, work orders and why are the payments being made so quickly now?  One right after the other?  How many genome tests were done and to who in the state?  Were these state residents notified of these tests and in what manner?  How much were these tests costing Connecticut Taxpayers?  $250?  More?  Less? What do these tests prove and or disprove?  Again I thought a citizens medical information is private and was not being data mined to a company like Sema-4?  And why was this information so essential to the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  A crisis in which those who were most vulnerable were never protected by Governor Ned Lamont and his family's hedge fund workings or the state as seen by the amount of deaths in the states nursing and rehabilitation homes.  

Government actions need to be questioned.  Especially in the case of genome testing and payments. Personally I no longer believe our government has its common citizens best interests in mind with the unyielding and omnipotent power government at all levels exhibits on its citizens.  The same citizens who toil endlessly in a maze of governmental bureaucracy, corrupt non profits and "quasi-publics", and incoherent laws, rules and regulations to satisfy the false narratives that government dictates.  Washington and Hartford is a quagmire of theft and deception whose only concern is personal political gain and profit.  It is beyond being a swamp.

 I would again like to thank a common Connecticut citizen, Tony De Angelo, and the Lee Elci radio show for this investigative work in exposing this rape of personal freedoms in the state and rip off of Connecticut Taxpayers.

This issue will continue to be a defining issue on the Governors race.  Connecticut's government continues to be an unethical and incoherent debacle.  I guess lies are truth and truth are lies when it comes to genome testing and paying for them.  However one day truth will prevail again in our society.  It is 1776 all over again.

The Connecticut Democrat Party Has Lost The Middle Class vote In 2022

 Inflation, inflation and more inflation.  Taxes, taxes and more taxes. Food staples in short supply.  Infant formula in short supply. Another day of $150 billion dollars worth of short and long term debt and unfunded liabilities and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of high inflation and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of $6+ per gallon heating oil used to heat homes and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of inflationary energy prices making driving to work a luxury for the middle class and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of excessive diesel fuel prices that are crippling the trucking industry and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont. Another day of not knowing how much in profits were made unethically and illegally during the manufactured Covid-19 crisis by Ned Lamont's family hedge fund and still no word on a solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.  Another day of no solutions to any of Connecticut's problems by the Connecticut Democrat Party or Ned Lamont.

The Middle Class in Connecticut continues to be attacked on all sides.  Those with children in public schools see little actual education going on but a great deal of indoctrination on sex education, gender change, while privilege,  BLM, socially correct history, proper gender pronoun use, distorted math problems,  socialism and communism.  Parents who are now shocked by this garbage being taught their children are now pulling their children out of public schools and home schooling them and or trying to enroll them into charter schools.  The Middle Class in Connecticut is many cases are working more than one job to try to make ends meet due to the excessively high taxation, high energy prices, high food prices, high housing prices, high utility prices, and to protect their families from the excessive crime in the state.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut have lost their businesses during the Lamont shutdowns.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut have lost their income from rental properties during the Lamont shutdowns.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut who are retired are going to be forced by to go back to work quickly, give up food or go broke since their investments continue to drop in value.  Many of the Middle Class in Connecticut continue to move out on a daily basis for many years now.  What is their future and hope to stay in a state such as Connecticut with everything around them being so socially incoherent and economically illogical?  Why must they support a state government so out of touch with both social and economic reality?  Why must they take orders from a bunch of politically elite and politically corrupted individuals?  Why must they sacrifice so that Connecticut's employee unions, elected officials and politically connected profit off their labor?  Why is this right?

The Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont has lost the Middle Class vote this coming November.    No matter how they wish to twist the grim economic reality of Connecticut it has lost completely this voting block and group.  Say goodbye to them.  No amount of cruel and unlimited abortions will get them back either.  They lost them.  The Connecticut Republican Party needs to understand this. What the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont don't understand is that the Connecticut Middle Class is beyond their breaking point and have had enough of their lies.  What the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont don't understand is that the Connecticut Middle Class truly understands completely the games these political hacks play and how they have damaged the state's economy to almost a point of no return.  The Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont forgets that the Middle Class knows that the state still ranks last or near last in most economic categories, is in the top five state in the country for the highest taxes and has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  The Connecticut Middle Class or whats left of it will not accept the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont's lies any more.  The Connecticut Middle Class are not fools nor slaves any more to the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont.  It is 1776 once again.

Why Does The Connecticut Democrat Party Like To Rip-Off Connecticut Taxpayers?

 I wonder why the Connecticut Democrat Party likes to rip-off Connecticut Taxpayers?  Scandal after scandal, time after time we see our elected officials especially in the Connecticut Democrat Party ripping Connecticut Taxpayers off for their advantage.  For over 30 years now.  Whether it is profits made off of no bid state Covid-19 contracts, a  lack of delivery for items paid for by these same non bid state Covid-19 contracts, profits made by Sema-4 tests and testing, the actual number of political patronage state jobs that were given to Connecticut Democrat Party friends, donors and family members since the Malloy/Lamont dictatorships began, and last but not least how much did the Director of the Connecticut office of School Construction Konstantijnos Diamantis receive for his strong arm tactics in his apparent steering of contracts for these same school projects he oversaw-how much did the Connecticut Taxpayer get ripped off in total?  How incompetent is Ned Lamont that he had no idea whatsoever what his good fried Diamantis was doing with these school building projects?  Are these examples a reason why Connecticut has a $62500 per person debt tax they are facing in the future?  Are these examples as to why Connecticut is last or near last in many economic categories and has one of the highest tax rates in the country?  Sadly the rip-offs, scandals and examples are never ending by the Connecticut Democrat Party.

The festive mood of ripping off the Connecticut Taxpayer by the Connecticut Democrat Party should sicken everyone in the state.  It should also bring about a daily condemnation by the Connecticut Republican Party leaders and leadership.  It should be questioned by law officials and organizations like the FBI and Department of Justice if they still are functional in upholding the rule of law (whatever that means today).  I thought Connecticut had a power hungry, ego driven and aggressive law enforcing Democrat State Attorney General who obviously has turned a blind eye to what has and is happening in the state that is illegal.  Does he understand what laws are or are they no longer applicable to the Connecticut Democrat Party?  He is no longer competent to serve in office and needs to resign.  Could it be the Connecticut Democrat Party is above the law and or the rule of law or the State Constitution does not apply to them so they can continue their racketeering and rip-off of Connecticut Taxpayers?

This is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re-election on in 2022.  It is not the record that the record that the Connecticut Republican Party is running on.  How anyone in the state run media could confuse these records is beyond me.  Please spare Connecticut Taxpayers the lies and untruths that we will be force fed to voters day in and day out for the election.  They are all lies.  The Connecticut Democrat Party no matter how they wish to spin it have been ripping Connecticut Taxpayers off for years now.  Their failed policies have helped make Connecticut a state of little ethics, high crime, high debt, corruption and lies.  Is this really the state you wish to work and live in?  I would assume that it is not.  It is time for politicians and the Connecticut Democrat Party to stop ripping off Connecticut Taxpayers.  It is time for truth and the rule of law to be what Connecticut's Government is and will be after the supposed election in November, 2022.  It is time to say goodbye once and for all to the irrational and incompetent Connecticut Democrat Party and their hacks this election.

Where Did All of The Connecticut Taxpayer's Monies Go? No Covid-19 Answers As Usual.

 Where did all the Connecticut Taxpayer's monies go to?  Where did all the Covid-19 relief money go to?  How much profit was made since the draconian Executive Orders of Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party took charge with no input from Connecticut Taxpayer's or a non existent state legislature to the politically connected of the state?  Are we ever going to get a real forensic audit of the hundreds of millions of dollars that was spent of Covid-19 funds in Connecticut any time soon?  How much fraud was actually committed in Connecticut with regards to these funds? Why did teacher's unions get Cvoid-19 relief funds? Who got what and why should be the theme of the upcoming election in November, don't you think?

Why was there such an issue recently in delivering Covid-19 tests and masks for Connecticut Taxpayer's?  Where did they disappear to?  Why was so much money spent on these items paying almost retail price for all of items?  Where are the packing lists, bill of ladings, etc for these deliveries?  What is the point of the never ending testing for Covid-19?  How many false positive tests have there been since 2021?  I thought it was 15 days to flatten the curve almost two years ago?  Why are healthy children being forced to wear a mask daily?  What purpose does it serve?  What has been the true costs in our children's mental health and well being?  How many suicides have taken place since the lock downs began?  How many businesses were ruined in the state, closed never to open again?  What is the real costs of these losses?   How many drug overdose deaths have occurred since the pandemic?  Why is this not being publicized?

How is Connecticut recovering?  Where are all the jobs?  Where are all the new businesses coming into the state?  Have all landlords in the state been paid their back rent?  Have all evictions taken place from non paying tenants?  What is the state going to do with the massive amount of commercial space that is no longer being rented?  

Why is state government so inefficient?  Why does state government lie to Connecticut Taxpayer's?  Why did Ned Lamont get Executive Orders for such a long time with no result as to the bettering of the lives of Connecticut Taxpayer's rather than make them worse as he has?  What is the state going to do about the $100 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities that is has at this time?  What is the plan to pay it off?  Why has Connecticut never recovered from any recession and has been in an economic downturn since 1991 and the enactment of its state income tax?  Why does Connecticut have such high taxes and shows little for those same high taxes?  

I go back to my original question: Where did all the Connecticut Taxpayer's monies go to?  Where did all the Covid-19 relief money go to?  And since Connecticut Taxpayer's are unable to get answers we should assume that the funds were stolen.  Prove it otherwise.  And prove it on Election Day in November by voting out of office once and for all the power hungry economically inept and corrupted Connecticut Democrat Party elected officials who have ripped the state off for too many years now.  Connecticut is no longer their personal bank account and playground.

The Connecticut 2022 Election Has Begun-Or Has It Ever Stopped Since 2018?

 The 2022 Connecticut State election has started.  Or has it ever stopped since 2018?  I know, I know Connecticut's state run and stoic media can't believe that either Republican Bob Stefanowski is going to run again and why would anyone not vote for two and four more years of omnipotent and incoherent Democrat one party rule in the state.  Thus we will begin to see a barrage of commercials on both sides of the aisle stating why each candidate is better than the other.  Pro Democrat Party media flunkies will begin to write their hit pieces on Republican Bob Stefanowski and all things Republican while giving a complete free ride for the corruption of the Ned Lamont administration and all of the convicted Connecticut Democrat elected officials and their flunkies that have occurred over the past four years.  Those stories have been neatly hushed up by the Connecticut state run media.  So it is just another Connecticut election in my opinion.

This election is going to feature all of the great accomplishments that supposedly Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party have accomplished over the past four years.  To me here are their supposed accomplishments.  In reality they should be viewed as massive failures and addressed as such.

1. Connecticut has a massive problem with crime and car theft that ultimately will be charged to all Connecticut residents in the form of much higher auto insurance policies over the foreseeable future.  The costs of this theft is kept well hidden from the public view as the Connecticut Democrat Party wishes to make criminals innocent and the law abiding Connecticut Taxpayer is now the criminal in their eyes.  The debacle called the Police Accountability Act has led to massive shortages of Police Officers in the state making Connecticut much less safe than it ever has been.

2.  Connecticut has a massive problem with drug overdoses and suicides over the past two years mainly due to the draconian measures that Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party has illegally placed on Connecticut citizens under the guise of fighting Covid-19.  Coupled with this ask anyone who had a family member die in a nursing home/center and or rehab center over the past two years due to Covid-19 if their loved ones could have been saved.  Ask them what role the medically incoherent Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party policies played in their family members deaths.  Making these homes a death sentence for those living there is murder in my opinion.

3. Connecticut continues to see a net migration out of the state due to massive taxes, poor infrastructure and the elimination of many personal freedoms over the past two years by Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party policies.  There seems to be a few crumbs being thrown to Connecticut Taxpayers in the form of cutting some taxes in the upcoming election none of which that will stem the mass exodus out of the state.  Connecticut has still over $100 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities that never gets addressed.  

4.  Covid-19 funds went to state employee pension funds, provided no bid and secret state contracts to Democrat Party allies and cronies.  What also needs to be disclosed is truly how much profits have Ned Lamont's family hedge fund made during this time frame.  How much?  Company by company.  Why was these funds spent in this manner?

This is a small list of the failures of Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party has bestowed upon Connecticut Taxpayers over the past four years there are many more examples.  And Connecticut Taxpayers need to survive the rest of 2022 dealing with both Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party and the Biden-Harris-Fauci nightmare on a National level of government.  The Connecticut Republican Party hopefully will have the great awakening over the next 11 months as in my opinion they are being handed the election due to the sheer incompetence and destruction that the Connecticut Democrat Party has entrapped Connecticut in for over 30 years now.  Connecticut Taxpayers have had enough.  They no longer will accept the spin that failure is success and success is failure.  Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party has failed Connecticut miserably.  Don't you see it?  I can. 

It Is Time To Take Back Connecticut In 2018-Vote Republican

It is time to take back Connecticut from the economic nightmare that the Connecticut Democrat Party has created.
It is time to end the long incompetent rule of the Connecticut Democrat Party and all of its cancers that it has spread in the state and state government.
It is time to bring transparency to state government.
It is time to cut spending on state management and state union salaries, benefits and pensions.
It is time to address the $80 to $100 billion dollar state debt we have from short and long term borrowing and unfunded liabilities.
It is time to stop corporate welfare and pay to play schemes created by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
It is time to end taxpayer funded sanctuary cities.
It is time to end counting mileage driven and reimbursed towards state pensions.
It is time to end counting overtime towards state pensions.
It is time to end voters who are dead from voting in our state elections.
It is time to lower taxes and repeal the state income tax has that help lead our state into economic Armageddon.
It is time to end omnipotent one party rule in state government.
It is time to have government work for taxpayers not taxpayers work to support a ruling political elite.
Enough is enough.
This has been a typical brutal election here with the usual lies and threats created by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  The Connecticut Democrat Party serves itself and its special interests not the Connecticut Taxpayers it supposedly represents.
The problem in Connecticut is the Connecticut Democrat Party.  They need to be voted out of office this election. 
It is time. 
Vote the entire Connecticut Republican team on November 6.

What Is The Real Platform The Connecticut Democrat Party Is Running On In 2018?

I am confused as a voter.  I do not understand what the real platform the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on in 2018?  Is it based on their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?  If so then the platform is one of new and higher taxes along with increased borrowing, higher salaries, benefits and pensions for state management and union workers.  Is it based on the results of the two highest tax increases in the state's history over their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?  If so their platform will discuss the failures of these tax increases to improve Connecticut's economic health.  Is it based on the results of the early prisoner release program they have championed in their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?   If so their platform will explain why we are much less safe in our homes and in our streets in 2018 especially in our cities.  Is it based upon millions upon millions of dollars being spent on toll studies in their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?  If so their platform would show that we have not been give any accurate figures as to how much revenue these tolls will bring to our state nor how much these tolls would cost and where they would be located.  Is it based on the amount of Connecticut Taxpayers monies have been to given to businesses free in the form of free and forgiven loans, tax credits for supposed jobs retained and overall corporate welfare programs in their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?  If so their platform would show a political economy in which a business must pay to play and that there is little to no oversight in these political patronage corporate welfare programs that have done next to nothing economically for our state economy.  Is it based upon Connecticut's ranking in the country in economic and business categories in their last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut?  If so then their platform would show Connecticut ranked last and or near last in all major economic categories.
That is an amazing platform to run on in 2018 for Democrat candidates.  Connecticut's media is fixated on condemning the Republican candidates and their platforms of cutting taxes, cutting the bloat in state government, salaries, benefits and pensions and saying no to tolls.  Obviously this real Republican economic platform that actually questions the enormous waste we have in Hartford is discounted and made fun of.  While the real platforms of the last eight years of one party rule here in Connecticut is embraced and made to look like an economic utopia.  I really don't understand any more how and why would Connecticut Voters who are legal citizens of our state and pay taxes would vote for any Democrat running for state office given the true state of our economy?
Is it time to take back Connecticut with new elected officials and new economic ideas.  Is it time to take back Connecticut with a common sense approach to how our government runs. Is it time to take back Connecticut with state government working for Connecticut Taxpayers not Connecticut Taxpayers being enslaved to a politically corrupted Democrat one party rule that has failed miserably for the past eight years.  Is it time to take back Connecticut in 2018.
