Incompetence. The Democrat Gold-Standard Of Governance In 2025

 In a review of 2025, let us look at a history of governance and leadership by our best and brightest elected officials, all of whom are Democrats, or were hired by a Democrat.

• January 1, 2025: The New Orleans Bourbon Street massacre unfolded tragically. Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick was completely blindsided, unaware of the barriers that should have been in place. This incompetence allowed a truck to plow through the crowd, resulting in fifteen deaths and ISIS flags being waved. The city council demanded her resignation, but Kilpatrick did not care. She even admitted that she was unaware that the barriers even existed. And she continues in her ostensible non-job of police employment to this day.

• January 8, 2025: Los Angeles wildfires raged out of control. Mayor Karen Bass fumbled the response with botched evacuations and delayed aid as she jetted off to Africa. Elon Musk tweeted to millions calling her "utterly incompetent." Homes turned to ash and lives were scorched, while Bass dodged questions and blamed the wind. A negligence lawsuit is now on the horizon. And she continues as Mayor to this day as virtually no damaged homes have been rebuilt in the region.

• August 20, 2025: Rhode Island's "Drunk AG Girl" incident caused a major meltdown. The Assistant Attorney General (Connecticut Native Devon Flannagan Hogan),while heavily intoxicated, trespassed at a fancy restaurant. She berated police officers on Nationally seen body cam footage in a horrific spectacle, demanding, "Do you know who I am?" Despite a zero-tolerance policy, she was only placed on leave and was given an ostensible break by her work colleagues in her sentencing.

• November 29, 2025: Governor Tim Walz's Somali fraud fiasco erupted in Minnesota. Billions in Medicaid funds were swindled under his clueless and hopeless watch, with half potentially fraudulent. Somali refugee programs were implicated in laundering cash. Donald Trump blasted the state as a "fraud hub." Walz downplayed the issue, leaving taxpayers to bear the financial burden. Great public outcry is also leveled at Minnesota Congresswoman Ilian Omar, who continues to smile, take no responsibility for the scandal and somehow attributes this financial and governance rape to Donald Trump.

• December 13, 2025: A Brown University shooting of multiple studying students turned into a nightmare. A gunman went on the loose, with suspected links to other institutions. Security measures failed colossally, and the manhunt was botched. Inane and embarrassing press conferences featuring leaders of questionable qualifications and blatant agendas droned on for days spewing politico-babble as the good people of Providence walked in fear. At last count, all people who participated in this farce remain employed leaving the same good people of Providence and all of Brown University under daily jeopardy.

(Note: “Drunk Girl” Devon Flanagan works under Peter Neronha, the Attorney General of the State of Rhode Island. With the suspected shooter found dead this past Tuesday, the good people of Providence are now breathing a sigh of relief )

• December 10, 2025: Waterbury, Connecticut faced a second, larger water main break leaving 60,000 residents without water for days. Healthcare facilities and schools were crippled by the outage.      Waterbury's decrepit infrastructure finally crumbled under neglect, leading to finger-pointing among officials. Residents described the situation as "horrible," with restoration efforts moving slowly amid escalating blame.

 

Of course, if you are a skillful Democrat incompetents, you must be very skillful in deflecting your personal responsibility towards any disaster that you, yourself are responsible for. Waterbury is no exception: “Working together, there is nothing we cannot achieve. Waterbury's best days are ahead of us.” — Democrat Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr., 47th Mayor of the City of Waterbury.
(https://www.waterburyct.org/administration/mayor)

However, clean water may not be one of those areas that Waterbury can achieve.

“The catastrophic failure of a high-pressure line in Waterbury’s aging water system left Connecticut’s fifth-largest city, and most of two suburbs—Wolcott and Watertown—without water Saturday, forcing a scramble to keep two hospitals open and bring in water by tankers and truckloads of bottles.

City officials said an earlier failure of a 10-inch water line installed in 1901 undermined a 42-inch, 55-year-old transmission main that burst with explosive force late Friday night on Thomaston Avenue by Waterville Park, launching pavement into the air and shattering windows.”
(https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/water-line-failure-waterbury-leaves-about-100000-without-water)

Needless to say, the public water situation in Waterbury will continue to be precarious, at best. You cannot drink the water, nor would most people want to bathe in it. One may also question why a Democrat-run city’s infrastructure for something as critical as water is still relying on a 124-year-old pipe along with a 55-year-old transmission line to supply the city. Of course, no previous Democrats in Waterbury over the past 20 years have ever been proactive about this situation as well. And ostensibly, Waterbury pays employees quite well via tax dollars that are charged with the responsibility of the city water system. Waterbury’s annual budget exceeds $446 million. A closer look shows that employee benefits, including pensions and health insurance, total over $114 million. Pensions and retiree health benefits alone account for more than $86 million. Combined, these costs exceed $200 million annually—almost 45% of the city’s total budget.
(https://www.waterburyct.org/filestorage/103431/104943/2025-2026_Mayor%27s_Proposed_Budget_Presentation.pdf)

The city also receives substantial aid from the State of Connecticut. Waterbury is a Connecticut example of a cash faucet city with no results and incompetence in governing, even though officials claim they are attempting to upgrade the water system. In private business, this type of crisis would not be tolerated and those responsible would be fired, but in government it has somehow become expected and the persons responsible never are removed.

And then we move to Providence and Brown University. Providence, Rhode Island will forever be enshrined in the Hall-of-Fame of political incompetency in its obtuse and fumbling efforts to locate a criminal who killed two students and wounded nine others at Brown University. University. What went on with Brown truly boggles the mind. A gunman just walks in to set up a killing machine. Security reportedly became lax, with camera monitors turned off, non-functioning or otherwise nonexistent in addition to other security failures. As a result, innocent students studying in a classroom were murdered in cold blood. And many students and their parents are now counting the cost of their woke ideologies and their hatred of police and law and order. For they are now learning a bitter and costly lesson. Neither incompetence, nor being woke, stops a bullet.

Police have been defunded in many parts of the country, while crime, contrary to false statistics presented in places such as Washington, D.C., continues to rise. Consider the daily antisemitic attacks occurring in Democrat-controlled New York City. For what reason? Have we become a lawless society? In many cities and states, it increasingly appears to be so. And what will the cost of this lawlessness be? How will those of a liberal mindset feel about being victimized and attacked? For they too will find out that neither incompetence, nor being woke, can ever stop a bullet.

One must also ask what would happen if a prominent Democrat became the victim of a crime, particularly at the hands of a repeat offender. How quickly would the narrative change? Or would President Trump somehow be blamed—as he seemingly is for everything since the nation’s founding? Regardless, they too as well, will find out that neither incompetence, nor being woke, stops a bullet.

Sadly, political incompetence takes many forms not necessarily dealing with immediate attacks of hostile violence. There is a form of incompetence which is much more subtle (and far more devastating) than any one incident. It is the destruction of an entire state economy leading to confirmation of its defeat as a welfare state. In that connection, Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut has now officially given his state the economic last rites by condemning it to perpetual beggar-welfare status as other states are aggressively availing themselves and using the incredible economic provisions of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” to create economic opportunity and to empower its citizens.  Lamont and his ilk and minions never seem to ask themselves why their states have so many poor and so many needing help and never try to fix things. They simply hand out more of your tax money and blame Donald Trump more frequently. https://ctmirror.org/2025/12/18/lamont-aid-food-pantries-planned-parenthood/ My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did a terrific job on his December 18 THIRTY WITH TONY show describing this very subject: https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2001746474439426413. It is a sad situation, and in my opinion Republicans do a very poor job in not making this critical point clear and evident for all.

Accountability is in short supply today. Competence is even more scarce. Too many people shrug and look the other way when crimes are committed, whether shoplifting that raises costs for consumers or cold-blooded murder that wastes innocent lives while offering little justice for victims. Even more are silent at gross acts of political malfeasance to where Republicans, especially in Connecticut, never complain about Democrat incompetence such as the economic destruction of the state. Many Americans have had enough of the incompetence of government—elected officials, un-elected officials, and a legal system that often protects criminals over victims—along with the endless nonsensical fixation on President Trump.

Incompetence in governing has become the norm in our country. It must end, or we risk ceasing to be a country at all.

About Taxes: The Lies They Taught Us in Connecticut Schools.

 

If you attended a Connecticut school prior to the Millenium, you were taught that taxes were the obligation of a free people in order to defend freedom, educate children, and to keep peace and order in society. You were also taught that we, the people, had rule over government as we were able to vote people in and out of office and to determine how our money was spent. Although no system is perfect, the tax system we all understood worked remarkably well in funding the many interests of a vibrant and varied society.

However, in recent years, the Connecticut power to tax its citizens has become a license to oppress the rights of Connecticut citizens and to dilute their power by taking away their substance. The new mantra from Connecticut Government is: Do as I say and do not question what I say, since you are a mere vassal. If you question my ruling powers, I will then try to limit everything you say and/or do by deeming it offensive or calling it disinformation or (pray-tell), racism, especially if you use social media and/or question my infallible judgment during a supposed pandemic.

Sounds bizarre? Think again. This is now the reality of life in Connecticut. Connecticut's state government continues to act like a big bully you hated in school, always busy picking on someone and making them miserable. If you are a small business owner with no political ties, you have no voice or choice and may have lost everything you worked for during the pandemic and the daily dictates given by the Lamont regime to “keep you safe from harm.” If you dare to challenge or criticize an elected official or an unelected highly compensated bureaucrat publicly or on social media, be prepared to be punished, ridiculed, and/or silenced. If you have been robbed or have had a family member murdered, you need to understand that the criminal is the victim while you have been made to be the criminal in voicing your outrage against your injustice and the lawless act committed against you and your family. If you have had a family member die of an illegal drug overdose, there is nothing you can do about since your government endorses a fully open border with the free flow of illegals and illegal drugs to come into our country and state to help murder more Americans daily while an entirely out-of-control state blathers drivel and continually promises to “do something” as “it cares about the people”.
So, let us return to the textbook definition: Taxes are defined as "a mandatory payment or charge collected by local, state, and national governments from individuals or businesses to cover the costs of general government services, goods, and activities." (taxfoundation.org). Do the costs of general government include eliminating dissenting opinions? Do the costs of general government include eliminating freedom of speech and constitutional rights? Do the costs of general government include eliminating political opposition and interfering with elections as we are currently seeing with President Trump? Do the costs of general government include supporting the information machine of the elect at taxpayer expense? Do the costs of general government include eliminating the rule of law and order? Do the costs of general government include eliminating medical and personal freedoms as we saw with the reported pandemic? Does the costs of general government include the complete eradication of ethics in government through a never-ending profit chain for King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable’s family hedge funds during the entire time he has been in office? Do the costs of general government include eliminating any form of transparency in government and the continual funding of a perpetually-inept ethics office causing this behavior to continue endlessly? Do the costs of general government include the elimination of a free market economic system in favor of a bribe-type of economy favoring an elect few using the hoax of
“economic development dollars”? Do the costs of general government include the free flow of illegal drugs into our country? Do the costs of general government include eliminating a legal border and to allow criminals and terrorists in with no questions asked? Do the costs of general government include the public safety disaster that is now either a Connecticut city or interstate highway? Since the state and our country are such an economic and social nightmare why are our taxes being collected and used in this manner of rack and ruin?

Many also believe our state and country are at a breaking point. The regime-like atmosphere in Hartford and Washington has bred a massive decline in our society. A ridiculous and abusive State of the Union address made by a pathetic and corrupted Democrat President Biden only reinforces his hatred of any and all expressing opposition to the Democrat Party New World Order of deception and totalitarian rule. Connecticut's elected demigods, ruling with an iron fist, have helped nurture the decline in the state for many years with the net result of a state saddled with $125 to $150 Billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. It is also comical to note that there is no plan whatsoever to pay down this debt, ever, and no elected official of any party ever raises this highly cautionary point. American and Connecticut Taxpayers are sick of runaway inflation, runaway crime, and runaway taxes to support this debris and waste being served to us a supposed elected government.

There needs to be a real change in both our elected officials and our government. Enough of this horrific path to economic and social destruction. Our taxes need to start going to a real democracy again to serve the citizenry, and not a socialist, oppressive, failed system of ruthless control of the masses while benefiting the politically collected reign of the chosen and the few. We, The People of our great state and country are no longer being represented, the time for a change is today. For failure to make these most critical changes would result in the destruction of the State of Connecticut and the United States of America.

The Church: Just One More Vehicle For The Connecticut Democrat Government To Use Against The Taxpaying Citizens Of Connecticut

Holy Bible: Matthew Chapter 16, (Verses 18-20)

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Over two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ of Nazareth declared to the Apostle Peter his design and vision for the Christian church. This vision was founded under the design of the Jewish Temple in the Old Testament and brought forward by Jesus. The objective was for the church to be an anchor and support for the believer to learn, grow, to have fellowship with one other, and to learn about the power and authority God grants to every child and believer to be strong in independence and God’s grace. Even to this day, churches and religion still play an important part in our society.

However, for many churches in Connecticut there has been a major shift in their role and political beliefs even though there is a supposed separation from church and state in our country. The separation is a necessary firewall so that churches cannot taint the Gospel mission with political causes. But for some Connecticut churches today, this rule is no longer in the book. These churches have seared their consciences and have consumed the pitcher of Democrat Kool-Aid to embrace whatever partisan-ism, electioneering and socialism handed to them provided there is some Democrats waving taxpayer dollars. In many cases, complaints of these unscriptural and illegal practices are often met with shaming and derision directed most aggressively against others by the very churches “benefiting” from these same practices.

Unfortunately, the Democrat political machine (enabled if not encouraged by Republican silence in many cases) has found a whole new profit center in co-opting obeisant churches and destroying the integrity of their doctrine and the vision of Moses and Jesus. This new profit center is based upon massively importing and housing illegal immigrants into the U.S.A in exchange for seemingly plentiful government cash. This crisis has caused a great upheaval in what the role of the church has become in this Democrat debacle in Connecticut, and throughout our country.

Of course, inept Connecticut needs one more social crisis as much as General George Armstrong Custer needed more hostile Indians in the massacre of Little Big Horn in 1876. For in Connecticut, we are all too aware of the past 34 plus years with massive crime, massive illegal drug problems, massive homeless problems, and massive taxes and debt. Of course, these problems have compounded into the nightmare conditions the state has today. Churches have echoed their desires to help but their desires have been perverted in many cases to become appendages to the state and local governments as political tools attempting to address the problems that the same state and local governments have created and expanded on over the years. More money thrown at these problems to any observer seems to do nothing other than to exacerbate the problems and make them much worse.

Sadly, many Connecticut churches today have become even more useful appendages for the Democrat design to destroy Connecticut cities and towns by parroting the new Connecticut government mantra of affordable housing especially by destroying local zoning decisions and alternatively setting up state-controlled transit center hubs that will have supposed affordable housing developments which somehow will inexplicably create this housing heaven on earth. It is fascinating to see how much profit becomes involved as politically connected developers and glad-faced hangers-on are all clamoring for a cut of the action by hoping to strip away zoning laws from state towns and cities to promote this agenda. Seeing parallel visions of state cash, some state churches are offering use of their church campuses and land to house the homeless and/or the undocumented and illegal. While being lauded by the political machine for this apparently honorable and righteous act, the sometimes well-meaning but always misled church leaders quickly realize that whatever commitment they have had to their founding doctrine or plain old right and wrong must now be extinguished in order to maintain their allegiance as satellites to the Democrat political objective. Instead of the illegal harboring of illegals, I submit to the affected churches that if they followed their ordained doctrines, they would provide comfort to the afflicted while then proceeding to tell the authorities to return their people to their rightful lands. For to do otherwise is to completely disregard the value of their very doctrines of self-determination that provided incalculable benefit to their devoted flock over time along with providing the life to their initial founding.

Other than destroying their ordained mission, nothing whatsoever resolves the long-term problem of why housing is so expensive compared to incomes in the high taxed and poisonously regulated state of Connecticut. Nothing whatsoever proposed by these political characters solves the transit issues in the state nor does it make the state subsidized bus fleet any safer to use since there is rampant and unchecked crime on state buses. Recently a man was stabbed in Hartford recently on a Connecticut Transit bus (https://www.ctinsider.com/capitalregion/article/hartford-stabbing-ct-transit-bus-18688425.php). Is this stabbing an example of why one would want to move to these affordable housing hubs around transit centers that have been subsidized with Taxpayers monies? Isn't crime down in the state according to the Connecticut Democrat Party? Does not the state administrate better than anyone on the planet and know what is best for all?

Unfortunately, the State of Connecticut buying and bribing of the churches continues. The state recently offered $5,000,000 of your money for “places of worship” and non-profits to help with their security. Thus, rather than enforcing and/or increasing legal punishments and incarcerations for these same crimes, the state must use Taxpayers monies in a faux prop effort to “combat” these crimes. Unfortunately, this reliance on government rather than self and the principles that Jesus and the prophets gave us, churches are not safe havens for prayer and worship anymore, especially those churches who have subscribed to full-scale political sellouts. Also, rampant violence is now the norm for Jewish synagogues that have been recent targets of the new “chic” pro-Hamas and Palestine protestors. Why are Hamas terrorists being "worshiped" by liberals in general and why is hatred being taken out on innocent Jewish worshipers? Where are the politicians decrying this sectarian violence? Is terrorism now “woke”? Are assaults against those believing in the God of Israel, now “cool”?

Of course, as some churches stray farther from their doctrines and into the will of politicians, they become mere tools in “voter engagement” efforts. Now addicted to government cash, these churches act like trained dogs in ballot harvesting and carrying out government marching orders to obtain more governmental funding and cheap favors from politicians. The sham election in Bridgeport certainly comes to mind as those close to the ground in the city have explained how the bread is buttered there, and the mess is anything but pretty. The endorsements that convicted felon Mayor Ganim seem both ridiculous and sickening in nature especially after the voter fraud that took place during this and previous elections. Moreover, it is puzzling to me that I have not seen any Bridgeport clergy to date protest the ostensible lack of a free and fair election and self-determination for their parishioners and their city.

In 2024 our economy and societal norms are unraveled in every stratum of American life. The biblical Book of Timothy is being actualized this day in that truth is now a lie and lies are truth. Theft is acceptable, if not encouraged. Boys are now girls, and girls are now boys. One must accept beliefs that defy logic or be condemned and canceled by the ruling elite. The house of worship was designed by Moses and later by Jesus to be an escape to one's faith and well-being, nurturing spiritual strength, personal development and empowerment and guidance. However, some churches in King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable’s Connecticut are following paths to ruin and destruction by accepting moral and spiritual destruction in exchange for cash. The church and state need to separate again. The clergy must divorce itself from politicians. The church should not encourage illegal behavior in any way. Religious freedom need not be questioned or vilified. This path to destruction needs to stop today.

What Exactly are the Connecticut “Fiscal Guardrails?”

For a number of years, Connecticut taxpayers have heard many statements out of the mouths of politicians and in media about “fiscal guardrails.” This buzz-phrase had its origins during the 2017 state budget negotiations and ever since has been trumpeted as a security system of sorts against fiscal recklessness and insanity in the State of Connecticut. However, since the onset of the 2024 Legislative session, this term has been used increasingly as a term equivalent to a gold standard of ensuring against fiscal ruin. To this end, I have felt it incumbent upon me to strip the concepts to bare metal and describe what the Connecticut “fiscal guardrails” really mean, and as to if the basis they have in actuality.
To understand what the guardrails are is amazing look at the creative “funny money" accounting of Connecticut's government going all the way back to 1991. Unbelievably a "spending cap" was enacted as part of the agreement to give Connecticut a State Income Tax in 1991. That "spending cap" was summarily ignored by careless feel-good legislators on both sides until said cap was rebranded as the "fiscal guardrails" in 2017 as the state was entangled in excessive spending, borrowing, bonding and ignoring all of its long term unfunded liabilities including (but not limited to) the bulbous state pensions paid to retired state employees and state legislators (with many checks sent to low/no tax states where these people now live). Therefore, rather than dealing with sharp fiscal controls, expense reduction, and eliminating the waste, fraud, abuse, and oppressive administrative state redundancy in Connecticut, these "fiscal guardrails" were instituted to accomplish a mere three restraints on spending, being, a spending cap of a base percentage tied to the inflation rate, a volatility cap that forces excess revenue from variable revenue sources to go first to the budget reserve and then to underfunded pensions, and a revenue cap that limits state spending in order to create the illusion of a surplus. Trying to understand these "fiscal guardrails" since 2017 is a colossal study of a vague theory never quite catching up with the reality of the fiscal wreckage and spending horror that unfortunately, is the Nutmeg State.
To make the weakened “fiscal guardrails” concept example even more clear, let us take a step back to reflect on basic fiscal realities. In 1991, the Connecticut State Budget was $7.7 billion dollars. In 2024 Connecticut is sporting a $26 billion dollar budget. That is a 335% increase in state spending. Adjusting that figure for inflation, we see that it has increased roughly 135%. In that same period, Connecticut's population has stagnated by increasing between only 5% and 9% depending on what you read and or believe and state GDP has cratered with rampant business departures and the loss of professional and high paying occupations. Thus, state spending has accelerated to an incredible level with little increase in its population. And Connecticut proudly boasts one of the highest property tax rates in the country in addition to one of the highest state rates in the country while being a constant bottom five states in business categories in one of the most business-unfriendly and avoided states in the union. Also, Connecticut has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities (such as the state pension fund). Contrary to the rhetoric of King Ned Lamont (aka “the Unaccountable”), his Democrat Party, and his state-run media spokespeople, legal and productive citizens and new businesses are not flocking to the state, nor have they been coming in since 1991, going all the way back to the enactment of the first state income tax.
In 2024 like past years, cries from liberal sources spew their hatred against all "fiscal guardrails", as incomplete as they may be. From liberal/socialist Democrat State Representatives and State Senators to the insatiable SEBAC-state government union groups, to the money that is never spent on children and for the perpetual deficit of state higher education, we will hear the shrieks of “more spending” is essential for Connecticut to survive! It is borderline miraculous as to how Connecticut has survived since 1991 in overspending and overtaxing its dwindling business and legal citizens for 33 years.
But where is the improvement of over three decades of reckless spending? One may notice that there is massive crime, a decaying infrastructure, shameful cities, massive state debt, massive taxes, and a migration out of the state even with these minimal "fiscal guardrails" that are a battle cry to Democrat Party socialists who wish to end them. In fact, if more money is the answer to all the problems stated above, then why isn't Connecticut flourishing in 2024? Why has Connecticut now become dependent on tax revenues from public safety and societal hazards such as legalized gambling of all forms and now legalized marijuana sales? What is next for the state; legalized taxed prostitution? Legalized heroin? Psychedelic mushrooms? I am now of the belief that there is no limit to the lows where this can all go.
In addition, many wonder how these "fiscal guardrails" are working in the least when the state somehow magically saves $20 billion dollars in 25 years by making payments to its underfunded pension fund. If indeed true, will this $20 billion dollar windfall be used to lower taxes in the state? Or will it just be used to throw more many at failed social programs that do little for the state? Why cannot state government fiscal restraint be the norm as it is for Connecticut families and businesses who are fighting for their economic survival in 2024?
So, while there may be some partial benefit in the concept of the "fiscal guardrails", said concept is not nearly adequate for the fiscal out of control wreckage that is Connecticut. Real, honest-to-goodness guardrails would be an effort towards consolidation and fiscal transparency while removing the Connecticut cancers of waste, fraud, abuse, and redundancy. Instead as we stand, the wonders of Connecticut government are akin to placing hard working legal Connecticut Taxpayers in an ill-equipped electric vehicle gasping down the wrong side of a potholed highway to a slow and painful fiscal death. But The Connecticut Democrat Party cannot wait to rail that any sort of "fiscal guardrail", even limited ones, be dismantled and destroyed for the last time.

Reality-Based Solutions for Eliminating Crime in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut

 

Law abiding Connecticut citizens have reached their breaking point in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Every day they live in constant fear of stolen cars, (some even at gunpoint), robberies in grocery store parking lots, home invasions, murder in cold blood as innocent bystanders, bank robberies, constant shoplifting in retail stores and a whole lot more.  Every day there are numerous reports of criminal cartels running massive car theft operations as there is no fear of arrests or being stopped.  

The economic criminal profit potential of Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut is enormous when one thinks of it. Due to little or no risk, criminals as young as 12 are working part time profitable jobs breaking into vehicles by smashing windows and driving away without pursuit.  These young criminals are being well compensated by crime cartels and/or other illegal tax-evading entities for the services they provide to these same equally disgusting criminals that chop up the stolen cars for parts, and liquidate the other valuable items in them.  If you choose to defend your vehicle, you can expect to be shot at like what recently happened to a private citizen in Northford, CT. With such a blasé’ attitude towards crime enforcement in Connecticut we have the impression that our personal property is not our own in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Legal private property rights seem to be outdated.  

In reading this, liberal panderers and starry-eyed delusional supporters of His Royal Con-Man King-Governor Ned Lamont The Unaccountable will be quick to point out recent state-generated reporting stating that “crime is down” in Connecticut. However, since a large part of Connecticut city-originated crime goes unreported, the statistics given are tainted, at best. Even in a good light, such state-driven statistical compilations are agency-centric rather than locality centric, so one cannot tell what is happening in a specific locale. Instead, try a dollar-driven site such as https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ that compiles hard data provided by actual real estate purchasers and investors. If we review that site (inter-alia) we see that Connecticut cities are worse than 78% of the rest of the country by way of crime. Further research on real numbers tells even the casual reader that the crime results are not good.

There truly are solutions to the crime wave in the state.  However, these solutions do not conform to the Socialist Connecticut Democrat Party agenda of destroying any sense of personal or economic freedom and police protection under an incoherent judicial system using weak laws governing crime and theft.  But if unserious and woke Connecticut ever chose to be serious about crime, here are several solutions that would start to take the bite of out crime in the state.

Car theft: For the few individuals who are arrested for this crime, bail should not be offered and/or offered at a $1,000,000. or more, value.  A sub court system could immediately be created, offering 24-hour hearings and subsequent charges/convictions.  First offense sentences for car theft would no longer be thrown out and/or probationary.  A one-year prison term with no time suspended would be mandatory.  Each additional offense would add 6 months more to the one-year term.  Therefore, if a criminal has already been convicted with five thefts under these new laws, he or she would serve 30 months in prison with no time suspended.  With this law, the owner of the vehicle stolen, and insurance companies would have a greater ability to fast track or attach any property or wages of the criminal for monetary damages of the value of the car no matter how expensive or inexpensive it was.  Sounds harsh?  That is the idea. It is, and it might possibly make some criminals think twice about stealing cars.  

Robbery of an individual:  There are robberies of distracted and defenseless women have their wallets/pocketbooks stolen after placing their groceries in their cars.  Shoplifting is rampant as well.  For the few individuals who are arrested for these crimes, bail should be offered and or offered at a $1,000,000 or more value. Again, first offense sentences for robbery would no longer be thrown out and/or be probationary.  A one-year prison term with no time suspended would be the minimum.  Multiple offenses would add 6 months more to the one- year term.  Victims of robbery would be able to sue the criminal for their losses and/or medical treatments generated during the crime, while retail stores/shops would be able to sue for monetary losses of the merchandise stolen.

Murder:  Murder takes away another person's life.  Many innocent people have been murdered, especially by drive by shootings.  Do their lives matter? Does it make any difference if they are Black lives? Or Asian lives? Or white lives?  No lives matter in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Life in prison does not seem to defer murder in the state.  The death penalty should be restated.

Who pays the costs of these crimes?  We do, of course, through higher retail store prices and much higher auto insurance rates due to the onslaught of these criminal activities.  Crime in Connecticut is at all time high even though the massaged "statistics" show otherwise.  The Connecticut Democrat Party has been in denial of this for many years.  A local election is in a few weeks in the state.  In Democrat-run towns and cities, crime seems to be a forbidden topic to discuss.  Of course, there the pleas for the usual choir of more money will solve all the problems of any Democrat run city.  But when you look at Bridgeport which is a cesspool of corruption, New Haven that is a tale of two cities and Taxpayer-supported Chicago-aspiring Hartford, nothing has changed over the years.  They are still vast economic wastelands that nurture a hopeless economic future for those trapped living there.  So called “leaders” cannot make the painful decisions to say “No” to the complete political failures of years of omnipotent Democrat-driven rule and deception.  Maybe voters should really think about why the state's Democrat Party really can't solve any problem whatsoever, especially crime, while they figure out new ways to rip off the Taxpayer who must live in fear in any activity he or she may do. 

Crime can be solved.  It takes ethics, leadership, and respect for human life.  It also takes courage, which is an especially scarce commodity in all areas of Connecticut government. It does not take another "crime task force" However lets be clear. The major player in this sick psychodrama is the Corrupt Unethical Connecticut Democrat Party.  They own this self-made crime crisis in the state.

Back in November 2020, Things Were Different

 

You are better off than you were in November 2020.  You did not realize that.  You, as a Taxpayer are apparently not thankful that you are dealing with a massive amount of economic and social problems that the Connecticut Democrat Party along with their Corrupt Democrat President help to create over the past three years. That said, how ungrateful can you be?

Back in November 2020 you did not have runaway inflation creating both a massive loss of middle class and senior citizen wealth in the country.  This loss causes many Americans to go deeper and deeper into debt since the costs of energy, food, housing, interest rates and insurances have gone up by an incredible amount.  Consumer and business debt is at an all-time high with the possibilities of many bankruptcies occurring in the near future.  Those on fixed incomes do not have any room for economic error since this runaway inflation.  But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You do not realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have unchecked and rampant illegal immigration taking place at the border.  You had an orderly process of applications and procedures for an individual to apply to get into our country.  It is clear that there are stronger screening processes taking place at our airports when legal citizens fly, as compared to illegals at the border.  Today it is acceptable whether you a criminal, cartel member, human/drug trafficker, and or terrorist you are now welcomed with open arms and Taxpayer money to enjoy a new reign of terror on our country compliments of the failed Democrat Biden Presidency.  Just look at the disaster in Texas.  Just look at the sickening squalor of Democrat-run Sanctuary cities in our country like San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and Boston. But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have unchecked crime and murders in your communities.  You did not have underage and unlicensed juvenile delinquents stealing your autos on a daily basis in Connecticut and many other Democrat run communities.  You did not have a 12- year- old juvenile delinquent stealing a vehicle in Bridgeport, CT as was experienced this past week.  Your Democrat run cities did not have unaccountable shootings and murders committed with illegal guns.  The costs to Taxpayers are enormous for this crime as injured victims walk into hospitals getting treatments paid for by government in most cases, and your home and car insurance continues to increase to offset the enormous number of claims made by the innocent victims of these crimes.  You are not safe even in broad daylight doing grocery shopping as hit and run drive by criminals work their beats.   Police have become the enemies while the criminal is treated as victim.  Moral and law-abiding citizens and Taxpayers are the criminals now. But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have to worry about having your child taken away from you nor be informed on what was going on in their school life by their school officials, especially with respect to gender changes.  Today, you no longer have control and parental rights over your children.  Many schools wish to hide sex changes and any personal information on their children from their parents.  When and why did this happen? But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have to worry about your President or Vice President selling their offices for financial gain.  Today the overwhelming evidence against President Biden, his son, and the Biden family in basically selling United States policies and influence with foreign peddlers for their own personal financial gain has been ignored, discredited, and covered up by law enforcement officials, government agencies and the state-run media.  But the Democrat Party and the same state-run media wishes for you to believe that President Trump and the constant lawsuits thrown at him are justified in our fast becoming "Banana Republic" judicial system that ignores our Constitution. Taxpayers work for government officials for their financial gain.  You don't realize that?

Back in November, 2020, you could rest assured that the administration of King Ned Lamont “The Unaccountable” was operating under the highest of ethical standards and he, his wife’s family investors, and the Connecticut Administrative State was doing all it could at every moment to keep us all “Safe from Covid” and the King himself pre-emptively set up a blind trust to ensure that his family investors would never be able to profit off of the backs of the poor Connecticut Taxpayers. But in 2023, the Democrat Party and the same state-run media now totally have amnesia about that past complex costly fraud and now ignore any  new double deals from state associated characters whatsoever, including (but not limited to) the The Unaccountable’s direct relationship to investments by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. All continues to be better than ever, and Connecticut is enjoying a great renaissance!  You don't realize that?    

  Lies, deception, distortion, corruption, a lack of ethics, laws that don't apply to the Democrats but only to President Trump, a total lack of respect for the Constitution is what our government is all about in September 2023.  The debacle that we must endure is the responsibility of a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party at all levels.  Black is not white and white is not black.  The destruction of our economy and society by a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party minions should not be the new norm.  It is not acceptable to our country and states and its legal citizens.  The mess that a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party have created needs to end now. We cannot deny the evil that is ever present in our country as it truly is 1776 all over again. 

You don’t realize that?

Why on God’s Green Earth Is President Biden Running For Another Term? Why?

Are you kidding me?  President Joe Biden wants to run for another term for President?  Why?  His administration has failed our country daily since he has taken office.  The list is never ending with his failures as President.  Do you really think you are better off than you were in 2020? 

If we are accepting of the candidacy of Joe Biden, we must also accept the following achievements of his Presidency during his term:

We must accept an endless nightmare at our open borders with unchecked illegal immigration resulting in a massive uptick in human trafficking, illegal drug cartels running rampant, and a new drug crisis.

We must accept the horrific and humiliating withdrawal in Afghanistan with a massive loss of American lives, technology and military secrets/weapons being lost forever.

We must accept a new energy crisis with the contrived shutoff of plentiful American energy sources, resorting back to a foreign energy dependence with massive increases in energy prices, spot shortages and an economically incoherent new green energy manifesto that is being force fed upon the country.

We must accept and open our homes and personal property to unrelenting, unchecked, and unpunished crime, thefts, and murders, as allowing these horrors to persist will somehow reduce them.  This delusional approach will magically make crime go away with no more bonds needing to be posted, no prosecution for shoplifting that is costing retailers $95 billion dollars in 2022, and no more outstanding arrest warrants that are no longer being pursued by de-funded, demoralized, and hated police departments in our country.

We must accept runaway Democrat Party endorsed inflation that has stripped economic growth from our economy.  The loss of personal wealth, especially by retirees, has been great and painful and such is apparently embraced and condoned by the multi-millionaires who run the Democrat Party.  Prices for food are incredibly high, leaving the middle class hungry with dwindling if any personal savings.  Businesses still in some cases have not recovered from the heavily-hyped Covid crisis, and many citizens have lost their businesses and life savings due to economically incoherent Democrat economic policies.

We must accept the war on families, parents, and religion without question.  Why are the most sacred institutions in our country hated so much by these Democrat elitists and Marxists?  Aren't parents responsible for their children not an out-of-control liberal government?  I thought freedom of religion was one of the founding foundations of our country. Why are Catholics now "terrorists"?  

We must accept that Joe and Hunter Biden can profit off their selling of American influence, policies and American Taxpayers monies with no ramifications or guilt.  The constant unfolding influence peddling scandal in which the Biden's are involved is one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history and should be treated as such.  It reeks of treason and corruption, and a total disdain for the common American.  It should sicken Americans on both sides of the aisle for its deceit and deception of our country's principles.

We must accept the stereophonic incompetency of Biden-esque policies such as “Bidenomics”, unenforced crime, and sanctuary state status being parroted  in decaying and disintegrating Blue States, assisted by the mindless obedience of thoughtless political creatures such as Kathy Hochul in New York, Gavin Newsom in California, and our own King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable in Connecticut who “kept us all safe from Covid” while making Connecticut cities into war zones and promoting exploding electric buses for the sake of the god of climate change.

The time has come for a massive shift in the beliefs, creed, doctrine, ideology, and principles of American politics and American government if this country can survive at all.  Americans need to stop standing by idly hoping for this horror to end.  Americans must demand accountability with an end to this unscrupulousness and ineptitude called politics and government.  The Biden Administration needs to be stopped now and removed from power.  We see once again we have "Taxation without Representation".  This is truly the new 1776 moment in our country.  Enough is enough.

Corruption-Crime-Saudi Dealings-A Poor Economy and High Taxes in Ned Lamont's Connecticut

 

You have it all in Democrat Ned Lamont's Connecticut!   There is always a deafening and continual silence from all sides of government and state-run media when corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes grace King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable's state of affairs.

Corruption never seems to end in Connecticut.  We know we are unable to view the tax returns of the "Greenwich businessman" Governor who has earned $54 million dollars in 2021.  In addition, Connecticut Taxpayers don't know how much money is being made from the newest questionable and suspect ethics issue coming out of this administration as reported by George Colli (TheCTCapitalist.com). This issue concerns the investments of the Governor's wife and his family's hedge investments (Oak HC/FT) being in business with an investment partnership that is a part of the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund.  After all, why invest in Connecticut and or the United States when you can make more money in Saudi Arabia? What does it matter in the least if you are in charge of an American state and you are effectively "partnering" with a nation that is fiercely opposed to affordable American energy resources? And it matters even less that Saudi Arabia is linked by Executive Orders from the Biden administration to supporting the dastardly events of 9/11/01. And please don't forget about all of the other unanswered investments and undisclosed arrangements that Tony De Angelo has brought up (Lee Elci Show 94.9FM radio) over the past three years with regards to Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, McKinsey and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies that remain a secret in one of the most "transparent" administrations in Connecticut's history, the one being run by Ned Lamont.

Crime never seems to end in Connecticut.  Recently a woman's car was hijacked and stolen at gunpoint.  And don't forget about all of the car theft, robberies, and murders that roll on a daily basis in the state.  Some juveniles under the age of 16 have a rap sheet that is as long as your arm.  The Connecticut Democrat Party shrugs their shoulders and  ignores the crime problem.  They instead boast of how prison populations have dropped dramatically over the past few years.  I can only imagine what would happen if a prominent Democrat family member was mugged and robbed in their local supermarket parking lot in broad daylight.  The outrage that would ensue would be comical in nature.  They would probably blame President Trump for it (or failing that, the ghost of Rush Limbaugh).

A poor, unreal prop-type economy never seems to end in Connecticut.  Connecticut has some of the highest taxes in the country, is ranked last or near last in most business and economic categories in the country and has some of the worst infrastructure in the country.  Connecticut is in a perpetual recession with little job growth and job creation as the Democrat Party contrary to their Utopian view of the state economy, picks the winners and losers in business by their political patronage. Businesses continue to close in the state monthly.  Connecticut still has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities and that there is no plan whatsoever to pay down this debt.  

Ned Lamont's Connecticut Democrat Party never tells the truth about the state. Corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes do not exist in their world.  Connecticut Taxpayers must deal with Ned Lamont's Connecticut Democrat Party's corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes on a daily basis, not to mention his continual co-opting of state resources for his own family benefit.  Solutions and truth are in short supply in Connecticut's state government.  A state government supported by the hard work of the Connecticut Taxpayer who are the pawns in this chess game of corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes.  The answers are in an overhaul of the state government and a system of real checks and balances by multiple voices of a real two party system of elected government.  That does not exist in this state.  it is a true charade of incompetence and incoherent gibberish, set to the music of a ringing Lamont cash register.

As 700 Bills Are Introduced In The Connecticut Legislature, State Policy Cripples The State

 The "Constitution State" of Connecticut has thousands upon thousands of legislative bills that are on its legal records.  In the course of your lifetime, you could not actually read them all and digest what their implications are and  their collective impact on Connecticut.  There have been bills signed into law that pretty much control all aspects of your day to day lives.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much tax everything and anything in the state.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much were vehemently opposed by Connecticut Taxpayers but were rammed down our throats by the Connecticut Democrat Party (think, the state income tax).  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much have over-regulated business and industry in the state, to the extent it has moved out of the state.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much picked the winners and losers in the state economy. And there have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much keep Connecticut as one of the highest taxed states and one of the lowest economically performing states in the country year in and year out, thereby making economic weakness the predominant "steady habit" in the land of Nutmeg.

Sadly in 2023, it has been no different in Connecticut's latest incoherent Legislative session with over 700 bills being introduced.  Many bills are just feel good liberal gibberish and incoherency conforming to the omnipotent Democrat one-party rule in the state.  These bills range from more taxation without representation, to the elimination of freedom of speech, to the far reaching consequences of eliminating male and female words from the state vocabulary.  Any opposing viewpoints coming from the opposing party or from constituents are greeted with a vile hatred, and are automatically voted down by the pompous ruling elites.  Thus Connecticut Taxpayers are disregarded and have not been heard by their supposed "elected" leaders for many years. This year is the same as it has been for over 30 years.  There is some talk of an actual tax break for the remaining working class but it is pitifully minimal given the runaway Democrat inflation that is ruining the economy at this time.  And it will not help overtaxed Connecticut Taxpayers since legal spending caps will be ignored and worked around by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Connecticut has over $150 billion dollars in long and short term debt, along with its unfunded liabilities.  Unfunded pension liabilities were recently configured differently to push state payments down the road for future payments  by economics expert, Comptroller Sean Scanlon to the applause of political leaders. The effect of this act of financial genius will create a bigger fiscal bomb to be thrown on the backs of taxpayers in years to come. With economic vision such as this instance, we might as well toss "fiscal ignorance" in the same steady habit category as "economic futility", when we speak of all policies Nutmeg. 

Meanwhile, back in the Capitol Building, I really do not know what can be done to eliminate the illogical amount of legislative bills being introduced every year.  State legislators apparently are showing the Connecticut Taxpayers what a great job they are doing with all the ridiculous bills they sponsor.  However the grim reality for Connecticut is that most of these bills do little to improve the state other than to suffice and pad the pockets of the lobbyists, special interest groups, and political hangers-on that control the state hand-in-hand with the Ned Lamont Democrat Party. 

Thus another legislative year will be closing soon.  Connecticut Taxpayers have once again been forgotten about, and will once again see more personal freedoms removed from them and pay higher taxes of some sort so that the ruling Connecticut political elite and its public unions benefits.  Connecticut Taxpayers will also be told that this group and that group along with state universities, unions and public schools are in desperate need of more money and more sources of funding.  Connecticut Taxpayers be damned once again.  In a state filled with rampant crime, corruption, an unsustainable debt and a failed economy, over 700 bills offered, will once again do little to improve the state.  How could it not be 1776 all over again with a failed state government oozing distress and despair and fiscal ineptitude, while promoting a spoils system, all while Connecticut burns daily?

Crime Free Democrat Connecticut

Connecticut in the opinion of many, is a mess.  It has massive economic issues including, but not limited to, a massive short and long term debt situation along with unfunded liabilities of roughly $150 billion dollars.  It overtaxes its Taxpayers and is ranked as one of the highest taxed states in the country. It still lags in most economic categories, and is never able to get out of its recessionary malaise.  It has a poor business environment, and attracts no business except in the cases of a CT DECD bribe payment being made.  It has a decaying road and bridge infrastructure even though it spends a massive amount of money in supposed and/or redundant repairs.  It has serial and shameless corruption in its state government.  Nor does it have any transparency in its state government, nor does the minority Republican Party have any meaningful input in legislation or the budget process.

Connecticut is truly in a mess when it comes to crime.  I continually refer to Connecticut as "Crime Free Democrat Connecticut" due to the total denial by Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party along with its lapdog state run media as to the severity of the crime problems that exists in the state.  Connecticut has massive problems with car theft by juveniles.  Connecticut has massive problems with catalytic converter thefts.  Connecticut has massive problems when women live in fear when they go grocery shopping and when they are pumping gas, with concern that they will be mugged and have their pocketbooks stolen from them in broad daylight.  Connecticut has massive problems with criminals being released from prison before their sentences are up and then going back out committing more crimes.  Connecticut has massive problems with its Pardons and Parole Board.  Connecticut has massive problems with murders committed.  Connecticut has massive problems with an illegal drug crisis and illegal drug trafficking.  Connecticut has massive problems with laws that are not enforced especially concerning crime. Moreover, Connecticut has massive problems with totally ignoring and disrespecting the victims of crimes.  

Why is this happening in Connecticut?  It is happening for a variety of reasons.  Connecticut's major cities of Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury has become cells of crime due to years of moral and social decay.  Connecticut Taxpayer monies for many years has been thrown at these cities with little result in improving the decaying parts of the cities and in improving economic conditions.  Crime is a much more profitable way of life than working at a menial minimum wage job with virtually no hope of escaping the horrific living conditions that are found in these cities.  These same cities all have had years upon years of Democrat rule.  

Another reason has been the Democrat Party's fixation in releasing as many criminals out of prison as fast as possible.  Why?  So they can go back out and commit more crimes?  How many early released criminals have gone back and committed more crimes?  The numbers, if they were advertised would scare law abiding citizens.  The early releases granted by the ostensibly unaccountable Connecticut Board of Pardons and Parole, are astounding.  Yet, as was just the case, the same members of this Board get renominated and continue to serve.  Why? Is it to help create more chaos and stress especially for the crime victims of these criminals that are released early?

Another reason has been the Democrat Party's fixation in not enforcing laws especially when it comes to juveniles and car theft.  Liberal judges seem to abhor the laws and their enforcement that they are supposed to be overseeing.  The idea has been to merely book these juveniles and just let them go free so they can go right out and steal even more.

Are there any solutions?  Yes, there are but they seem to be too logical for King Ned Lamont and his liberal Democrat Party.   Private property laws need to be enforced in the state.    Criminals need to pay their debt to the state for their crimes.  Those juveniles who steal vehicles need to be arrested and be forced to pay back the owners of the vehicles they stole from.  Judges need to enforce current laws not ignore them and disregard them.  Victims of crime need to have more rights than criminals.  Sounds simple?  But of course it never is in Crime Free Democrat Connecticut.

What would happen if victims started suing criminals and their elected officials when a crime took place?  Would things finally change?

Crime Free Democrat Connecticut is what happens when you have over 30 years of omnipotent one party rule in a state. Crime Free Democrat Connecticut happens when there are no longer is any checks and balances in your government.  Crime Free Democrat Connecticut happens when an unchecked and incoherent liberalism rewards criminals while despising their victims.  Crime Free Democrat Connecticut is a nightmare for law abiding and taxpaying legal citizens.  And Crime Free Democrat Connecticut needs to end once and for all.  Law abiding, taxpaying legal citizens need to demand that laws be enforced and criminals be arrested and prosecuted.  They need to shout this daily.  And Ned Lamont and his liberal Democrat Party need to be held accountable once and for all for the mess they have created. 

Enough is enough.  It is 1776 all over again especially in the chaos and turmoil known as Connecticut.

 

Zoning Law Blues In Democrat Connecticut:Raised H.B. No. 6890

Raised Bill H.B. No. 6890 is a scary and hideous eight-page law proposal,whereby any clear thinking person can quickly perceive its mission to remove local cities and towns from oversight of their zoning laws and regulations. It should alarm most local taxpayers as to what they will have to look forward to in their communities. The Bill, also known as "Work, Live, Ride" will give incentives for what is known as “transit-oriented development” within a half mile of bus and train stations. This horrific plan would be executed under the auspices of an autonomous new "Coordinator"working in the new "Office of Responsible Growth" within the Intergovernmental Policy Division of the Office of Policy and Management. This position creates a non-elected state bureaucrat "Zoning Czar" to override local zoning laws within the areas of bus and train stations for the purpose of promoting grant-subsidized housing. What methods will be used to obtain these properties? Eminent domain? Forceful taking combined with insufficient compensation? Unfortunately, none of this methodology has been shared to date.

The leading proponents of this bill are an organization called "Desegregate Connecticut", which is described in the website(https://www.desegregatect.org/about): As is stated therein, "Desegregate Connecticut emerged in June 2020 during a period of rising public awareness about inequities in our society as exposed by the twin pandemics of COVID and racial injustice. It is a program of the Regional Plan Association, a nonprofit that for 100 years has advanced ideas to improve economic health, environmental resiliency, and quality of life in the NJ-NY-CT region, and that has a century-long record of public engagement and service in Connecticut. With 80+ organizations, aligned with the goal of tackling segregation in land use laws, we have helped change the public conversation and achieve reforms at both the state and local levels, including the passage of zoning reforms in 2021."

Admittedly, “Desegregate Connecticut” relies on funding, mentoring, and logistical support from this Regional Plan Association (RPA), which is a New York City based not-for-profit group. RPA lists as its top donors of $100k or more an ostensible “who’s who” in the real estate field; The Durst Organization. RXR. SL Green Management. Suffolk Construction, and others. Thus, it seems that “Desegregate Connecticut's main financial source (besides apparently Connecticut Taxpayers monies) is obviously backed by several large corporate interests that would profit from this type of development near these locations. Thus, one can conclude that there is an economic profit motive to these subsidized housing developments that “Desegregate Connecticut” is demanding as a matter of human and environmental rights. 

 Connecticut taxpayers and local Planning and Zoning officials should be beyond alarmed at this bill. And I truly wonder how this bill makes Connecticut "desegregated"? Who has defined the segregation of Connecticut? Is it the Democrat Party that has run the state for many years now and its major cities into the ground?  Isn't crime a major issue of the major Democrat Party run cities of Connecticut such as Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford? How does this solve crime and create jobs? Who, (or what) defends the safety of commuters around transit in these districts when police are unsupported? Connecticut already has a massive Taxpayer funded subsidized public transportation system in these same cities and towns with its own inherent financial and safety issues. That said, it looks like Connecticut Taxpayers will be subsidizing additional and massive grant-supported housing projects in their hometowns on top of the high property taxes they pay.

 Raised H.B. Bill No. 6890 is a great overreach of the state government's power. It causes Connecticut's cities and towns to basically lose their authority of their own communities for the sake of more liberal rhetoric from non-elected "experts" in all things “woke”.  It destroys the character and stability of communities and systems that have taken years to build. Connecticut's economy and supposed housing issues would be much better solved by the private sector without chronic governmental interference and pandering politicians, and without Taxpayers monies being spent. Liberals need to understand that this country was founded on self-sufficiency and independence.  Liberals need to open up a history book and read about the great transit-designed public housing disasters of days gone by such as “Southfield Village” in Stamford, “Fr. Panik Village” in Bridgeport, and the legendary “Cabrini Green” in Chicago. Connecticut Taxpayers are sick of being force fed Democrat Party dependency and loss of personal freedoms that Raised H.B. Bill No. 6890 shamelessly exhibits. This bill contributes to the never-ending onslaught of failed policies that has brought us to the point of 1776, all over again.

 

Connecticut's Democrat Logic. It Does Not Exist.

Logic is an interesting word.  Logic is defined as: "a particular way of thinking, especially one that is reasonable and based on good judgment".  Logic is my opinion seems to be in short supply in Connecticut for many years now.  The lack of logic is quite explainable especially since Connecticut is run exclusively for and by the Connecticut Democrat Party and its assorted enablers. The Connecticut Democrat Party continues to help make the state rank at (and/or) near the bottom of the country in most economic categories, while having some of the highest taxes in the country.  It helps to make crime a massive problem in the state.  It helps to make businesses move out of the state.  It greatly helps to create a net migration of population out of the state.

I fail to see any logic whatsoever in Connecticut with the supposedly "logical" issues that are force fed to legal Connecticut Taxpayers seemingly year-in and year-out.  Is it logical that when the state has a massive illegal drug problem that marijuana becomes legalized in the state?  Could this legalization just possibly create more harm than good from the sacred tax revenue that it creates? It is highly unlikely that Connecticut Taxpayers will see benefits from it.  Is it logical that Connecticut wants to become an "abortion getaway destination" state providing plentiful and cheap abortions?  Some in the state desire legalized full term abortions, and abortions on demand, somehow stating that it is a healthcare right guaranteed by state government.  What is the logic in deaths of the unborn?  Where is the logic in a state that states that the death penalty is inhumane, while the death of an unborn infant is not humane?  Is it logical for a state that has a massive crime problem to further lessen laws to protect the innocent while allowing criminals to run free in the guise of social equity?  Where is the logic in destroying private property rights for law abiding citizens?  Why is it logical to tell a victim of crime you have no rights but the perpetrator has rights?  Is it logical to constantly increase yearly state spending on state employee salaries, benefits and pensions while raising taxes and adding to a mushrooming issue of short and long term debt, along with unfunded liabilities?  What is the logic behind the state spending well over 40 cents of every budget dollar on state employee salaries, benefits and pensions and another 10 cents of every budget dollar on debt service?  What is the economic logic of multi-million taxpayer paid settlements due to state employee malfeasance without any apparent discipline or accountability on the part of those directly responsible? What is the economic logic behind all of this?

Where is the logic of only having one party representing the citizens of Connecticut?  With the stale Connecticut Democrat One Party Rule for many years now why is it logical to try to pass a bill forcing voters to vote in each election or face fines, penalties and or prison?  What is the logic in the illegal and immoral suppression of freedom of speech by not allowing criticism of public officials in various public commentary areas?  How is it logical that Governor Ned Lamont earned $54 million dollars in income without any explanation?  Is it logical to assume now that transparency in government is not allowed in the state?  Where is the logic in the lack of respect shown Connecticut taxpayers when they ask for information and or answers to their questions by state officials?  Where is the logic of continued public relations disasters of silence when grievous errors are made by political figures? Is it logical then to assume that Connecticut taxpayers have no rights living in the state? 

In my opinion, the Connecticut State Government is entirely bereft of logic. Logic seems to be a twisted, incoherent, and unwanted concept for Connecticut.  The lack of logic and the lack of truth in state government has helped to destroy a once economically powerful and family friendly state.  Years of stoic and long-suffering Democrat rule has helped to redefine what logic actually is in Connecticut.  Sadly as the daily lies are bastardized as daily truths in the state, the state fully declines in many areas.  From rampant crime, murder, thefts to an "abortion vacation" getaway, to a failed politically correct public school system and a never ending drug problem-Connecticut's logic is astounding.  It is also wrong.  Logic needs to be revisited in 2023 for Connecticut's state government as the similarities to 1776 grow day by day.  Logic from 1776 might be a nice change of pace from the illogical garbage spewed in 2023.

 

Democrat Connecticut Has Massive Budget Increases Year In And Year Out-Why?

Over the years, I have been asked why a state as small as Connecticut with as little population as it has spends as much money as it does each year?  Unfortunately, It is a very difficult question to answer.  Back in 1991 Connecticut's budget was under $8 billion dollars a year.  The new proposed budget for FY 2023-24 by Democrat Governor Ned Lamont plans to spend over $25 billion dollars each year for a new $50.5 billion bi-annual budget, including another $1 billion dollars or so in new bonding yet again.  If one does some quick math, state spending has increased roughly by 312% in 32 years, or a minimum of 10% per year. When short and long term debt and unfunded liabilities are taken into account, Connecticut's fiscal ditch can be estimated to be roughly $150 billion dollars.  Part of the reason why the state spends as much as it does is because of the fiscal narcotic state income tax available to it along with the over market value and over paid state employee benefits, salaries and pensions it is committed to pay.  Connecticut has seen a net decline in its population and many higher income earning workers flee the state over the past 32 years.  Contrary to the Democrat rhetoric of how great the state is, Connecticut still ranks last and or near last in most business and economic climate categories in the country, while having some of the highest tax rates in the country. 

The new budget sees a similar trend of the past 32 years.  Spending is increased, various taxes have minor cuts while other taxes remain the same and or are increased, while different state groups, local groups, cities, towns, state departments and other advocacy groups complain they need more money and or are not getting enough money to function.  This budget offers some middle class workers a cut in their income tax rates that may save them on average $300 for single filers and a whopping $600 for couples.   Lamont's new budget also offers massive pay raises of 5.5% pay hike in the first year and 4% in the second for judges, that he claims would aid with judge recruitment and retention of these same judges.  I did not realize that judges were so hard to find in the state since they are mostly political appointments.  Thus this years budget follows the narrative that Connecticut's economy has never been better, taxes are being cut by roughly one tenth of one per cent in proportion to the $50.5 billion dollar budget for individual taxpayers, more laws limiting personal freedom will be enacted and the cycle to economic Armageddon has once again been adverted.  In my opinion, truths, lies and deceptions are the yearly norm when it comes to the state budget while obviously throwing more Connecticut taxpayer's money at everything and anything. Again, this standard mode of operating will correct any negative social or economic situation permanently. It always does. 

Reality paints a much harsher picture of the social and economic Utopia called Connecticut.  The state has many long-standing social and economic issues that it just can not shake.  I might be in the minority for calling this out as I see the same problems the state has had year in and year out for well over 30 years now, continue.  One of the biggest issues the state has since it has now accepted permanent Democrat one-party rule is that is has an unsustainable debt and unfunded liabilities funding problem that has never been addressed. How much more will borrowed and never be paid back?  I know the yearly calls for living 

within the budget and other incoherent economic gibberish spewed by elected officials have grown stale.  In my opinion Connecticut spends an excessive amount of money for a state as small as it is with a population as small as it is.   It has an enormous debt problem along with horrifically Democrat run cities that are unsafe economic wastelands and offer little economic freedom for those who live in them.  There are really two different Connecticut's.  The Connecticut that the working middle class must fight daily that offers illogical laws, poor politically correct public education, social unrest, high taxes and crime throughout the state.  The Connecticut that the politically connected and wealthy live in avoids all of this at all costs, for these problems are for the peons who must toil to support the excesses of state government, and not theirs.

It is imperative for Connecticut to cut state spending.  Connecticut needs to address its short and long term debt and unfunded liabilities.  Connecticut needs to address the rampant crime, theft and murders that occur on a daily basis.  Connecticut needs to address its public education crisis.  Connecticut needs to address its infrastructure problems.  Connecticut needs to address its illegal drug crisis.  Connecticut needs real action and not laws that allow for illegal people to vote in its elections nor for legal citizens to be silenced when questioning an elected official on social media.  Connecticut could really use real, honest, and ethical governmental leaders to run the state and not the current profit driven Governor who has skillfully eliminated transparency in his administration.  Connecticut has massive budget increases year in and year out with little to show for it.  It is the Connecticut Democrat Party's debacle to forced social and economic ruin.  And it is 1776 all over again.
