The Use of Incompetence As A Weapon: The Connecticut Democrat of 2026

 I think I’ve underestimated you, Ned. I don’t know why it took me so long.

You’ve started using your incompetence as a weapon.”

 

(Peter Lowenstein (Ted Danson) to Ned Racine (William Hurt): from “Body Heat” (1981)

 

I never cease to be amazed at the extensive problems that the Connecticut Democrat Party faces each week especially during election season. However, these problems are only seen through reporting by non-state-run media and citizen journalists.

It is amazing to see the mess that the Connecticut Democrat Party is in, and many will wonder why they are a majority party in the state. And like in the movie “Body Heat,” the Connecticut Democrat is incredibly skilled in using incompetence as a weapon.

Here is a list of issues that should be answered by Governor Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party but will not be:

1. CONNECTICUT ILLEGAL ALIEN KILLS OHIOAN. (LAMONT: WHAT? ME WORRY?)

 

It was disclosed by Republican Ohio United States Senator Bernie Moreno that Connecticut has granted 60,000 drivers licenses to illegal aliens in an ostensible illegal “Motor Voter” effort, one of which killed 29-year-old Ohioan in a reckless driving accident this past week (https://www.moreno.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Letter-to-Governor-Lamont.pdf.)  Senator Moreno blasted Governor Lamont in a justifiably scathing letter and demanded an answer as to why illegal aliens are given licenses, among other inferences to Lamont’s vacuous governance skills. Even though there is a fixed demand for answers by Sen. Moreno, there has been no response from Lamont and company. It is quite apparent that human life is not important to the Connecticut Democrat Party given their defense of illegal aliens, abortion full term, gender mutilation, and anti-victim stances in crimes. (https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/09/01/moreno-to-ct-gov-an-ohioan-was-killed-by-an-illegal-with-a-ct-drivers-license-please-explain-n2682308). But as far as the Democrat world is concerned, the King has spoken, and the obeisant state-run media will not say another peep about it. (Once again, citizen, be damned).

2. NO WATER IN PUERTO RICO? KING NED, THE UNACCOUNTABLE, WILL HELP YOU.

 

However, no water for many in Waterbury? Suck it up, city residents. Democrat Party led Waterbury has massive issues with their water mains breaking constantly while they are supposedly upgrading their systems. Lamont has never commented on this debacle. However he stated, “We are standing by, Lamont  said. “We got the water companies ready to step in when asked to help with infrastructure. The Connecticut National Guard is ready to step up as needed. When asked, we are ready for that.” (https://www.wshu.org/connecticut-news/2026-09-03/ct-aid-puerto-rico-water-crisis). Maybe the Connecticut National Guard could be called into Democrat Party led Hartford and New Haven and attack crime and criminals that impacts the legal citizens who wish to live in those cities without fear of death by walking out of their houses at night. Maybe the four-star DOT crew that mismanaged the Oxford flooding disaster in 2024 can be brought in to send water to both Puerto Rico and Waterbury, as creating an excess of water is something they are good at.

But as is usual, Ned speaks, the state-paid media acts, his dutiful scriveners record, and this will be the last of what anyone has to say about it. For after all, “The Unaccountable” has spoken.

End of story.

3. WHO NEEDS TIRES AND RIMS FOR YOUR CAR, ANYWAY?

 

 

If you wake up to go to work and see that your tires and rims are missing off your car in Democrat Party led Hartford and other surrounding Democrat Party led towns. “It’s been more than once it’s happened and they’ve taken my rear lights off my car before, it happens a lot around here,” Gladstone Hamblin of Hartford said. Hamblin woke up in the morning to find his car on the ground with the wheels missing. Security video showed three men unbolting the tires in a matter of minutes and wheeling them down the street. “It’s a problem for them. It’s a problem for us,” Jose Ventura of No Limit Auto Clinic said. Ventura runs the mechanic shop on Franklin Avenue, and he’s got high-quality security cameras monitoring his shop, while across the street a Mercedes sits up on milk crates, its wheels also missing. (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/hartford/drivers-dealing-with-rim-and-tire-theft-in-hartford-area/). But as stated above, let us make sure those Connecticut National Guard troops avoid Hartford and are shipped out of state to help others, not Connecticut Taxpayers. Or let us call in the DOT Bridge Engineers to flood the streets of Hartford in an encore performance from 2024, so that these criminals can’t steal tires. Ridiculous, you say? The fact remains that if Lamont made such a proposal his dutiful state-run scriveners would report the same as fact with a straight face.

Again, The Unaccountable Has Spoken. (End of Story).

4. WHERE IS THE CASH? WHO THE HECK KNOWS? AND WHO CARES?

Who cares? Certainly not the Connecticut Democrat Party as a ripping 128-page audit has been released and Hartford Democrat State Senator Doug McCrory used the Blue Hills Civic Association to spend/waste $2.4 million of Connecticut Taxpayers monies that were given freely to organizations and nonprofits with no accountability.  This is a recurring pattern for the Connecticut Democrat Party and the out of control and should be abolished Department of Economic and Community Development. Many wonder why with this rip off of $2.4 million as to why McCrory and his well-provided associates and lady friends are not in jail. Meanwhile, one of the largest beneficiaries of the state grant funding refused to cooperate with the auditors entirely, citing the ongoing FBI investigation. Sonserae Cicero, who is being investigated because of her alleged relationship with McCrory, declined to turn over any records to auditors even though her companies, which operate under different versions of the name SHEBA, received $1.2 million through the Blue Hills Civic Association. “In response to document requests, legal counsel for Ms. Cicero indicated that, based on publicly available information suggesting a potential ongoing federal investigation into related matters, SHEBA would not provide any documents or information absent a legal obligation to do so,” the auditors wrote. Cicero did not respond to a phone call seeking comments for this story. The auditors noted that Cicero signed a contract that granted the state and its auditors access to the company’s records “upon request.” (https://ctmirror.org/2026/09/02/blue-hills-civic-association-audit/). To put a cherry on the sundae, the  should be abolished Connecticut Department of Community Economic Development worked hours to state the following; “Asked if DECD would pursue legal action to force SHEBA to open its books, spokesperson Jim Watson said, “DECD has taken all reasonable steps through available mechanisms to recover and/or hold any funding allocated to entities identified in the audits and will continue to evaluate whether any additional action is merited or likely to lead to the recovery of funds.”  I would understand that this means DECD will do nothing, as it normally does when it comes to accountability of its funds. As an aside, I will also understand that the state Republican contingent will not campaign on abolishing this putrid, incompetent, and wasteful agency despite the wishes of thousands of taxpayers wanting to see something (anything) resembling common sense and economic sanity in this fantastic incompetency land of one-party Democrat rule.

But the Gold Standard of Connecticut governance is blather rather than boldness, and acquiescence in the place of aggressiveness and who the hell cares about ordinary citizens, anyway?

 5. THE BEST $250,000 CONNECTICUT COULD EVER SPEND, IS FOR A REPORT THAT IS WRITTEN BY A FAILED HACK THAT WILL PRODUCE NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER.

 

Looking into the bid contract of Miguel Cardona's for his company, Cardona Solutions, LLC, one sees the great Democrat Party machine at work helping support political hacks, especially if they are down on their luck and need a few bucks.  This contract and Democrat Cardona's career was discussed by me and Tony De Angelo, this past Tuesday on the “94.9 Power Hour” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zomxmKkPaMA). Connecticut Taxpayers spend enormous amounts of money on job formation, job creation, and job training already with little to no results, as Connecticut is a bottom five in many economic categories. This report will do nothing once again but waste more money in a state that has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. But who cares about any of that when there is always another taxpayer to overtax, and another borrowing and mandate to create in the Land Of Steady Failures?

Here are five areas for aggressive assault in the upcoming election for what has been a docile and obedient state Republican Party to date. All five items are related to an out-of-control, inept, and corrupted Connecticut Democrat Party. It is the record that it is running on and it is a record that it should lose the election on. Add to this mix an incompetent United States Senator Chris Murphy, walking/driving through the state condemning all things Republican and President Trump, while no Republican has been present to dog him continually along the way. Because if there were, Chris would lose what little mind he has defending his own party's corruption and ineptness for the five above-mentioned debacles, and the resulting meltdown would be a sight to behold.

 

Ned Lamont and his malfeasant political cronies should be prosecuted for their actions, and not be reelected. Meanwhile, the surviving Republicans in this state should dog Democrats every day fighting and dogging Democrats tooth and nail about these sickening failures. For Connecticut Taxpayers have had enough of Democrat fraud, incompetence, and callous indifference to the citizens of Connecticut and are waiting for someone (anyone) to finally turn the corner in putting an end to this sordid and sick saga.

Coronavirus Thoughts Week 3

"We are fighting for survival" This is the statement I heard from an employee and a restaurant owner this past week.  Both restaurants are still open with limited hours and a minimal crew.  Some restaurants in Connecticut will never open again due to the governmental decree of two weeks ago closing them to the extent of only allowing take out and delivery service to stop the spread of Covid-19.  Many businesses besides restaurants have closed and or are on limited hours to stop the spread of Covid-19 with thousands of Connecticut workers having signed up for unemployment benefits due to these closures.  This is placing a massive economic strain on the limited amount of money in the state's poorly run Unemployment Compensation system.  Many small Connecticut businesses applied for the state's new no interest Recovery Bridge Loan Program.  More than 4000 applications flooded Connecticut's feeble Department of Economic and Community Development system thus they are now unable to accept more applications due to the overload.  Supposedly Round 2 of these loans should be coming at some point.  I will believe it when I see it. 
"We are fighting for survival" This statement echoes in my ears constantly. 
Fox News reported after $2 trillion dollar Coronavirus relief bill was passed that there was a great deal of special interest group/lobbyists "pork" (spending that is unnecessary and unrelated to the bill) spending that was found in it.  I have found it very difficult to actually view the bill and what it contains.  Our Congress obviously wishing to hide the bill from the public so there would be no Taxpayers questioning it and the "pork" in it.
Here is a brief summary of the "pork" in the bill.
$10,804,687,000 for international development.
The African Development Fund (ADF) $513,900,000, the African Development Bank (AfDB) $7,286,587,008, and the International Development Association (IDA)$3,004,200,000.
$350,000,000 for refugee resettlement.
$93,000,000 Congress ($25 million of which is for "salaries and expenses" unknown as to how it will be allocated).
$75,000,000 for PBS stations.
$75,000,000 for the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities.
$75,000,000 National Endowment for the Humanities.
$50,000,000 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
$25,000,000 for the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.
$7,500,000 for the Smithsonian Institution.
Why are we allowing this much non related Coronavirus spending to take place in this bill?  The bulk of these spending add-ons were made by Democrat Party members of the United States House and Senate led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.  How does this non related Coronavirus spending help people who have the virus and businesses impacted by the virus?  The silence is deafening by Senators Murphy and Blumenthal and our illustrious Democrat members of the House in responding to these pork questions.  Billions of Taxpayers dollars are being spent on totally non related Covid-19 matters.  Why?  To me we are seeing of the complete ineptness and disregard that our Congress especially the Democrat Party has in the time of a crisis to the people it supposedly represents.  And if you are questioning what they are doing with this non related Covid-19 spending you are labeled an obstructionist, anti-American, insensitive, etc.  I wonder what steps Africa is taking currently to help our country in this crisis with the amount of aid they just received?  The $11 billion dollars that was given to these African entities could buy a great deal of food, shelter, surgical masks and ventilators for our country.  Just a stupid thought on my part.
"We are fighting for survival" Words that should be heard.
And we are somehow supposed to trust our government on a federal or state level in the time of a crisis?    I really think we need a new Congress.  With the exception of a few brave individuals this Congress does not represent American Taxpayers in any way shape or form.  It only represents the special interest groups that put them into office.  The swamp called Congress needs to be drained.
"We are fighting for survival" This statement has become deafening to me. 
I will repeat from last week's column.
Do not fear.
We will overcome this crisis as we have the others.  All will be well in our country. 
Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."
Words to live by.

Connecticut Needs A Republican Senator. It Needs Matthew Corey

Connecticut needs a Republican Senator.  It can not afford another six years of the simpleton explorations of its current junior Senator Democrat Chris Murphy.  Murphy is all of his years in elected office has accomplished next to nothing in legislation and in helping Connecticut Taxpayers both when he was a Representative and now as a Senator.  He talks the strict Democrat party line and apparently loves to walk through Connecticut and get loads of press for himself and his ego.  He has raised a staggering sum of campaign money in order to eliminate any and all competition to his Senator for life job.  
Republican candidate for Senate Matthew Corey faces an uphill battle to beat Murphy in November.  You see Corey works for a living as compared to the Democrat incumbents running for United States Senate and the House of Representatives.  You see Corey is actually productive in our society and our economy unlike the Senator for life he is running against.
Corey has a variety of real world experiences that gives him an edge in this race in my opinion.  He is a United States Navy Veteran.  He owns his own business.  He is a supporter of President Trump.  His website http://www.coreyforsenate.com/issues discusses his pro business, conservative stances on job growth, the national debt and the issues of our educational system.  Connecticut could use a person who actually knows how to run a business and has the understanding of what is necessary to help create jobs especially in job short Connecticut.  Corey is undergoing a difficult race however I believe that many Connecticut Taxpayers have had it with the status quo of its paid political ruling elite telling us what we can and can not do to protect their political self interest.  Republican candidate Matthew Corey represents a breath of fresh air for our state and deserves your vote.
Connecticut can not afford the Connecticut Democrat Party any more.  It has ruined our state.  It is time to take back Connecticut in 2018.
