Walk Softly, Connecticut! Democrat Crime Is Here To Stay

 In the past week that was, there were a series of raids performed by National Immigration Control and Enforcement (“ICE”) with the object of removing illegal aliens from the once-proud working city of Danbury, CT. The political responses across the aisle were so predictable, you could set your watch to them.

“These reports of abusive tactics, excessive use of force, detention of US citizens and possible harm to individuals who were taken into custody and thrown into unmarked vans by masked agents, and then confined in inhumane conditions are deeply troubling, and the reason that I have asked for an investigation,” (Senator Richard Blumenthal-Democrat).

“I don't like the idea that we don't have an immigration system that works, but I will not sit here and blame ICE agents who are not elected officials, who have no say in that process and are simply out doing the job that they're directed to do, enforcing the laws that Congress has enacted,” State Rep. Greg Howard (R-Stonington) said.

 

Once again, Democrats are investigating law enforcement tactics while positioning criminals as victims — a predictable development,” they wrote. “Rather than undermining the men and women who enforce our laws, [Blumenthal] should step away from the cameras and focus on solutions to the illegal immigration crisis he and his Democratic colleagues in Washington not only ignored but allowed to worsen throughout the Biden presidency.”( State House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora).

Notwithstanding the predictability of the above prepared responses, I struggle with a critical premise across all of them. Each side of the aisle believes that there is a “solution needed to the illegal immigration crisis.” However, what you, I, and every sane and right-thinking and taxpaying citizen in the State of Connecticut saw was the perfect and almost pure operation of Federal law in action: Illegal persons were in the country and were strongly and efficiently removed by the powers of Federal enforcement to make communities safe and free for all. Even though the fault of this massive government failure rests at the feet of Democrats, I struggle with what is so difficult for all sides of the political world to understand here?

 

Let us take a bit of time to tell everyone how this is really designed to work.

 

We can begin with this question: What is Federal Law? There is clear confusion in Connecticut and especially with the Connecticut Democrat Party as to what Federal law is. Federal laws are rules that apply throughout the United States-these are laws that are written by our Federal Government and apply in every state, like it or not. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land and unbelievably no other state law or regulation can conflict with it. Especially, hastily passed state laws such as the (God-Forsaken) “Trust Act” have no power whatsoever over what the Federal government can do with respect to ICE operations. We remain in this mess because immigration laws were broken and not enforced by the Biden Administration from 2021 to 2024 and have now led us to actually enforcing Federal laws on immigration.

Even though there is plenty of political blame to go around in this situation, all of us in Connecticut have become used to the stale and incompetent United States Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy yelling from their bully socialist pulpit, in front of the obedient and starry-eyed state run media, as they wail against all law enforcement officials that are trying to do their jobs.   Not one word was mentioned from either Senator about the failed Biden Administration unleashing an  onslaught of illegal people/criminals/drug traffickers/and murderers that were welcomed in open arms by the sick people who ran the corrupted Biden Administration. This was an Administration with a figurehead that was sick, feeble, incontinent, and mentally incompetent that was dressed up to supposedly be the President of the United States. Our fools, better known as US Senators encouraged the lawlessness and criminal behaviors of these freeloaders and never once, for the good of the United States of America, demanded the removal of this sick and feeble man on grounds of competency and general principle.

They simply, do not care about you or your welfare.

 But as we fast-forward to today, maybe in Connecticut someone, (anyone), could get "outraged" at Ned Lamont, William Tong or insert Democrat politician name here______ for their remarks about the recent legal law enforcement/ICE operation in Danbury, CT this week to rid the state of illegal immigrants who are in the state. Here are some of their remarks; ...Lamont said his office is coordinating with groups like DUFI (“Danbury Unites for Immigrants”) to help ensure community members can access legal resources and other help. He also had a message for the Trump administration: “At a convening of governors earlier this year, after the tragic results of ICE’s presence in Minneapolis, President Trump told us he would not be sending ICE into cities that did not ask for the help,” Lamont said in a statement. “Let me be clear: Connecticut does not want, nor do we need, the type of presence ICE has had in our state this week.” (https://www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-08-26/ct-officials-pledge-support-immigrant-advocates-danbury-ice-detainments). My question to this failed governor is, if ICE were not needed in the once proud and working city of Danbury, CT, why are there so many “bad hombres” and otherwise illegal people needing to be removed?

Many are amazed at the intensity and enthusiasm that the Connecticut Democrat Party places in defending criminals and crimes in the state. Many are amazed at the love that the Connecticut Democrat Party has for breaking the rules of law and defending criminals while condemning the innocent and victims of crimes. From the Bridgeport Voter Fraud that continues there daily and with impunity to the non-profit scandals of elected officials, or the massive nightly car thefts to the massive costs of illegal immigrants for Connecticut Taxpayers, crime is the norm in the state. This is the record that Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party are running for re-election on. This is the record that they are proud to offer those who live their lives by the rule of law and pay one of the highest rates of taxation in the country- a criminal infested sewer of social and economic failure for all to see. And regardless, Ned Lamont is an odds-on favorite (or failure) to preside over Connecticut over four more years and further drive this once great state into irreparable damage and chaos.

 

Mind us all, the responsibility for this grievous failure of governance is the result of failed and wretched one-party rule over decades. However, to be clear and fair, increasing right thinking Connecticut citizens are expecting a strong Republican pushback towards this poisonous Democrat attitude and frankly are seeing none of that. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo covered the whereabouts of Governor Candidate Ryan Fazio during this most critical of times in the 8/27 “THIRTY WITH TONY”, and we found him in a shopping center in Westbrook, not challenging any of his “Democratic colleagues” to account for this horrific mess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf1lhFgYBLU In this episode, Tony also asks how a sitting Governor can continually disavow Federal law without legal and criminal consequences, which is a question that I have heard no elected official of any sort, ever ask.

My advice for those who remain in Connecticut is simple-walk softly and have eyes behind your head. Crime and criminals are the new norm for the state. The Connecticut Democrat Party has morphed into a sickening and vile structure of both mental and physical abuse of those brave citizens who want to live an orderly life following the rules of law and the state, as Republicans, short in the intestinal fortitude department, search for a “solution” that is here, working, and present. Crime pays for the Connecticut Democrat Party, as voter fraud, illegal citizen fraud and theft are abundant for the taking with no repercussions whatsoever. Federal law is the rule of the land except to those who hate our country like those lawless carpetbaggers better known as Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party.

The Fate Of The State

 It is another quintessential election year in Connecticut. In 2026 both legal and illegal voters will be voting for the same five current Socialist Democrat United States Representatives and all of the State offices from Governor down to the General Assembly. And what an election it is going to be! And Connecticut is officially up and running with no man safe as the Legislature has been gaveled into session. In listening to the corrupt Socialist Democrat Governor Ned Lamont's State of the State address, one wonders what state he lives in. It is quite clear to any rational observer that Lamont and his fellow Democrats have done an excellent job in driving Connecticut into economic oblivion, and his current budget will help cement Connecticut into a bottom five lowest ranking economic state in the country for more years to come. And his speech was the usual anti-Trump, anti-ICE rhetoric that defines the Democrat Party in 2026. But no one tied to Lamont seems to care. If you happen to disagree with this Democrat disaster looking for a place to happen you are either 1) racist, 2) white supremacist, 3) hostile, 4) insurrectionist, or 5) any combination of more than one of the items listed above. And in the eyes of the government, you should be rendered inoperative on general principles.

I highly recommend all Connecticut voters read Lamont's speech (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/read the full text connecticut gov ned lamont gives 2026 state of the state address/?ipid=promo link block2), and draw your own conclusions. (All quotes below are from his speech)

Many will feel it is an insult to Thomas Paine who wrote the revolutionary commentary "Common Sense" back in 1776 when Lamont stated, "He was what we would call today a social influencer. His pamphlets were handed out by the hundreds of thousands. His call to revolution was debated from taverns in Windsor to coffeehouses in Fairfield. By the end of that year, 1776, his optimism was tempered by hard times. Paine concluded, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Two hundred and fifty years later, we find ourselves once again in times that try men’s souls. Masked federal agents have descended on Minneapolis, terrorizing communities, tearing families apart. Two young Americans, a mom and an ICU nurse shot dead. Some of our folks worry that another government shutdown and sudden federal cuts will mean no dinner tonight, no roof over their head, too expensive to take care of a sick child. These are times that try men’s souls." Sorry Ned, but your comparison of Thomas Paine and our American Revolution to today's Anti ICE protests protecting criminal illegal immigrants from deportation is a gross insult to our forefathers of our country.

He added: “Because we have used Connecticut common sense, we have been able to make up for some of the harsh cuts coming out of The White House. We were among the very first to backstop food support for working families. We saw the scared faces and long lines at the food pantries just a few months ago.” So Ned, why does the Head of Connecticut Foodshare Jason Jakubowski make over $400,000 a year? Couldn't that $400,000 feed the many starving people of your economically vibrant state? What about the other bulbous salaries paid to non-job executives in the redundant and covert nonprofits funded by state dollars as the “poor mouth” cries get louder? How does this form of racketeering help the poor and vulnerable? (Rest assured anyone asking the question I just asked is automatically branded to be any one or more of the pejorative epithets mentioned above).

But who are you to question results? Says Ned:  "The Connecticut economy is strong, for now. We have faster economic growth (fourth highest in the country last quarter), more new business startups, and lower unemployment than most of the nation all of which contributes to higher state income, and that allows our 2027 budget to increase investments in education, housing, and nonprofits not to mention our emergency reserve. " ... "Every year we have worked to make life a little less expensive and a little more affordable. Working families earn a little more, surely helps. Remember cheering on the essential workers during COVID? Many of them were earning the minimum wage, which today is almost $17 an hour, up from about $10 since we took office. And after receiving no increase for several years, our state employees have received a wage increase every year we’ve been in office. We appreciate your extraordinary work, and tell your friends we still need more nurses, corrections officers, and state police. We were told by the naysayers that a higher wage would crash the economy, instead a little more money in your pocket is allowing more families to get back on their feet and our economy to prosper." If the economy is so strong then why are there long lines at the food pantries? Why aren’t you crediting President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for sending short-lived Defense projects to Connecticut? What will you do when that ends? What will you do when the last five or six billionaires leave the state? Does State employee salaries, benefits and pensions account for over 20% of the state budget now? Aren't several of your state "nonprofits" currently under federal investigation for fraud? Have you taken one step towards curbing the myriad governance and out of control spending abuse to these "nonprofits" via the Department of Economic and Community Development? Of course, no steps have been undertaken on any of the above, (and by asking these questions I am sure a race-based pejorative epithet is waiting for me).

But this odd and twisted world is takes some funny turns. Lamont, now being influenced by the left-wing part of his party has turned into a Caucasian version of Huey Newton and will now give every school student a "free" breakfast and as always more money for education. Per Ned: “We tried last year, let’s try it again this year our budget provides for free school breakfasts for all of our students. Everybody starts the day right. No shame, no stigma, no empty stomachs. Connecticut has one of the best school systems in the country, but that is not true of all of our schools. In the coming days I will sign an executive order to create the Blue-Ribbon Commission on K-12 Education. A bottoms up look at education with a focus on an updated funding strategy, the foundation grant, and making sure more resources go to the classroom.” So where does the money come from to pay for these "free school breakfast" programs? Your IPO profits from SEMA 4? Some new “Ned Deal” funneled through “Connecticut Innovations?” A new "breakfast tax"? Don't most schools in the state already offer both free breakfast and lunch for needy students? Couldn't the state save money and take out feminine hygiene products out of boys’ bathrooms in state schools? (This last statement now qualifies me to be called pejorative epithets not suitable for a respectable article).

Contrary to the deluded Governor, Connecticut still has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt with interest thereupon, along with massive unfunded liabilities. To help voters forget about these horrors, Ned proposes to give every taxpayer a $200 tax rebate, or a $400 rebate per family. Rough estimates are that this pseudo-feel-good maneuver will cost the state $500 million dollars. But why hasn't Connecticut still recovered from the recession of 1989? As I stated in January 2026; “The true reality is that Connecticut still suffers from many of the same problems it has faced since 1989. The economy in particular is consistently ignored and overlooked, as it has been for more than 35 years. Connecticut has never recovered economically since that recession of 1988-89. According to the September jobs report published in December, Connecticut is losing jobs. The state ranks 50th in payroll growth from 1989 to 2025 and is one of only three states that have failed to fully recover from the Great Recession”. (https://swickspeak.blogspot.com/2026/01/connecticut economy stinks so let’s make.html) 

But as ridiculous and horrible as this all is, one quote from Ned takes the prize for buying the liberal vote: "That young mother shot twice in the head in Minneapolis the White House called her a domestic terrorist; she reminded me of my daughter. " Ned does your daughter protest at anti ICE demonstrations and tries to drive into them with her SUV while they are doing their job? If so, you have a lot of problems with your family that certainly you are not letting on about.

This State of the State speech summarizes the true lies and deceptions that the Connecticut Democrat Party has been so well known for, for many years. Year in and year out, state spending and debt increases. Year in and year out Connecticut's economy ranks last and or in the bottom five in the country in economic growth, development, business friendliness, etc. Year in and year out Connecticut ranks as one of the highest taxed states in the country. Maybe this year Connecticut taxpayers will wake up to see that they are not better off than they were in any year from 1989 to 2026 with a government dominated by an omnipotent and corrupted Connecticut Democrat Party and they will finally see through the false claims, lies and prevarications leading Connecticut to be the economic and social disaster that it now is.
