At What Point?

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, the Connecticut Democrat Party?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, a complete lack of transparency and accountability in state government and a reluctance for any sort of effective change?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, the massive amount of crime and theft that occurs on a daily basis?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, its lies, deceptions, and fraud? 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut and in particular, paying taxes to support what is a massively corrupted state government? 

 

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and with a minority party that always tries to be “acceptable” by the majority and state-run media, as opposed to one championing sound Republican and economic principles that are bearing great fruit in other states?

 

Connecticut state government has a large credibility problem. As much as current Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is trying to somehow hoist the blame on Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Ryan Fazio and President Trump for all the ills of Connecticut, Lamont's confusion is a superb example of his party's failures. I will remind all again that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party has raised taxes consistently since his first term in office. Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party have been involved in numerous scandals including, (but not limited to), ballot fraud, fundraising fraud, non-profit fraud, lawmaking while drunk and driving while drunk crimes, larceny from tax-exempt organizations, sexual harassment, and contract fraud.

Readers well know the usual unanswered questions from Ned Lamont as to where his footsteps (and those of his spouse Annie Lamont) have taken them, but they bear repeating: Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation,-never an answer to his family's Hedge fund involvement in each.  This query would be an excellent question at the upcoming Governor's debate, but we know it will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

What about a Connecticut Taxpayer timeline for repayment from Democratic State Senator Douglas McCrory for his payoffs in the Blue Hills Civic Association debacle? I guess $15,000,000 is lost for good once again for Connecticut Taxpayers.

 

How about “People’s Champion” State Senator Martha Marx be forced to give account for her admitted act of vandalism in cutting the electric wires under her legislative seat in 2024? How about the state demanding repayment for the over $15,000 damage she caused? How about the Capitol Police showing courage for once and turning over the police report for this act of vandalism instead of playing “hide the ball” with it? How about Republicans calling for her accountability and arrest for this act as we still are within the criminal Statute of Limitations for this action? Great question. But we know it will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

 

How about a Democratic state senator being offered a seat on PURA in exchange to support Chairwoman Marissa Gillett’s reappointment. No big deal here, as Connecticut seems to a proving ground for the inept and incompetent.

Let us not forget the constant Bridgeport Democrat Party ballot fraud and the never-ending scam that it creates for "honest" elections. These "honest" elections are a focal point for incredible, ninth-inning-rally election victories for Connecticut Democrat Party candidates. 

 How about fixing the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, which is a free for all of deception and corruption? Just look at Chancellor Terrence Cheng who resigned following an investigation into questionable spending only to get some incoherent consulting contract. In addition, his interim successor, John Maduko, resigning over a sexual harassment complaint. Why are Connecticut's college students putting up with this corruption? Why aren’t sound fiscally responsible Republicans calling for a consolidation of the State Colleges and Universities under one administrative umbrella (as opposed to four?) But we know this will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

 

In education, don't forget the “essential,” no bid contract of $250,000 for Democrat Party hack, Miguel Cardona and his new report that says essentially that nothing to improve Connecticut's failing educational system. This would certainly stand to reason, for if Miguel Cardona turned in a report saying the system needed improvement, the first action item for said improvement, would be the removal of Miguel Cardona.

Last but least we have the “Greek Tragedy” drama of Kosta Diamantis, a man that apparently no one wants to believe as being the least bit truthful in his detailed descriptions of the corrupted Lamont administration. My colleague Tony De Angelo talked about this at length on this past week's “Power Hour” on the 94.9 FM “Lee Elci Show” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjuJjy_qKHQ&t=72s.

The never-ending saga of the Connecticut Democrat driven Connecticut cesspool never ceases to amaze those who toil in Connecticut and are forced to pay their taxes to support all of this corruption and deception.  Connecticut still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities and is adding to those debts daily without any revenue generation or plans for repayment https://hartfordbusiness.com/article/dodd-stadium-revamp-tops-66-4m-in-state-community-investment-fund-awards/  .  My readers know I have spoken about this for years. My best guess estimate is that 30% of this debt has been caused by all types of fraud. This fraud includes interest free (or 2% interest) loans to failed or nonexistent businesses, loans that are never paid back by these same failed or nonexistent businesses, overcharging by contractors in order to secure contracts that include paybacks to state officials, excessive padded state employee overtime payments that are also included in pension obligations,  state created jobs for former state politicians and the politically connected, along with the costs of illegal aliens in the state, among other things.  

Thus, this is the real situation in Connecticut and the real record that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party are running on. Lies, deception and fraud. Connecticut Taxpayers and voters are sick of it and have had enough. Change cannot come soon enough for this failed state of disrepair.

 

The Connecticut Democrat Party candidate does not deserve your vote at any level of government, federal, state, or local in this election. It is truly time for a real change in all facets of government, politics, and political party practices and methods in 2026. This, is indeed that point of inflection.

The Myriad Permutations of Socialism. Democrats in 2026

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Look him up if you dare.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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