Connecticut: Its Not For Citizens Anymore

 It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

President Abraham Lincoln

The Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863

The great writings and the leadings of America’s founding fathers were unequivocally clear in that our government was to be governed by its people, or in effect, ruled by its people via its choice of elected officials. But to be clear, America-hating Connecticut has caused that design of government to perish and is now ruled not by elected officials, but by a coalition of Communists, Socialists, lobbyists, funders, fringe parts of the Democrat Socialists of America, a state run media, hedge funds and elected officials/political cronies/activists such as Ned Lamont, Chris Murphy, Richard Blumenthal, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, Sean Scanlon, Stephanie Thomas, Erick Russell and William Tong, just to name a few. Connecticut is in a laughable and pathetic state which is due to this coalition of fanatics and psychopaths who claim to represent both illegal and legal citizens of Connecticut.

Connecticut Communist Socialist Democrat Czar-Tyrant-Supreme Ruler Attorney General William Tong is a case study in why he is unfit to serve and should be voted out of office. For if you disagree with him, especially if you endorse President Trump and his policies, you obviously are skating on thin ice with ruling Connecticut Democrat Party Politburo. A gentle criticism was levied from Republican Candidate for Attorney General, John Bolton    Last Thursday, Connecticut’s Attorney General – allegedly “the People’s Lawyer”– stood at a podium and told the people of Connecticut that if they stand with the President, they are — his words — “disqualified from serving in office.” He said it twice, and it was directed at all Republicans. Let every voter, of every party, hear that clearly: the state’s top law enforcement officer just declared that Americans are unfit to serve their neighbors simply because he may not agree with their politics. I'm John Bolton, and I'm running for Attorney General because Connecticut deserves an Attorney General who represents all of its people, regardless of their political beliefs. (https://x.com/jb4ag26/status/2100368430150938927)  A more directed and pointed commentary on this foul event was delivered by my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo who asked, point blank, if state Republicans are controlled by the state Democrat party in order to let such a display pass without criticism and anger by Republicans. https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2098755883396174120 . However, the fundamental issue remains. The citizens of Connecticut do not rule Connecticut in any way, shape, or form.

 

 Meanwhile, we turn back to the rambling dictates of Attorney General Tong: “Connecticut is under attack every single day, and we need to build an even stronger firewall to protect Connecticut families,” the 53-year-old Democrat declared during a conversation Thursday on WNHH FM’s “Dateline New Haven.” “I’ve been doing that for eight years, and have stood up to the most powerful forces, the biggest, most powerful corporate monopolies, the president of the United States. “I don’t care how big or bad you are. If you hurt Connecticut, I’m going to fight back.”  (https://www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/09/04/tong-vows-to-keep-fighting-trump/"

Many normal and legal Connecticut Taxpayers are both irate and livid about the daily exhibit of Tong's serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. Are we supposed to laugh him off or seek legal action against this Democrat bully? Are we supposed to petition for his psychiatric admission? One truly wonders. It is my opinion that Republican John Bolton represents a breath of fresh air for the office and that would be a much better solution than any of the above.

But Hey! When you are sitting at the top of the world, the rest of the world can roll along down a cliff. And there is one at the top of the world topping off the family coffers like the top guy. Governor Ned Lamont has been busy for eight years now bringing home the bacon for the Lamont family of hidden business, business deals and other assorted secret, non-transparent arrangements for the Oak HC hedge fund. Lamont does not answer questions on how much did his family's hedge fund profited from 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, to name a few.  But hey that is old news. Now Lamont, in his latest campaign is hammering Republican Candidate for Governor Ryan Fazio for many of the horrific state ills that Lamont and his Democrat Party created. That is exceptionally brazen coming for the corrupted Lamont syndicate and his Democrat cronies. Mysteriously, Fazio, and his campaign has been silent on the attack front concerning the King’s corruption, racketeering, and malfeasance and one can let their mind run wild as to how and why this is the case.

But I may be misguided. For after all, Lamont "found" $50,000,000 to save rural Connecticut hospitals that somehow is the evil president Trump money-the President Trump William Tong despises but apparently loves when it can buy votes for Connecticut's Socialists.  My good friend Tony De Angelo on X exposed this latest Democrat fraud and covered it on his THIRTY WITH TONY video show; In the category of the @ryanfazio campaign and the @CTGOPneed to wake up, please see the below. Tomorrow, Sept. 16 @GovNedLamontwill come to Putnam to tell us all about the Rural Health Grants HE brought to all of us. The grants come from Connecticut’s share of the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a $50 billion, five-year initiative ($10 billion per year, 2026–2030) created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA / H.R. 1 / Public Law 119-21), signed in July 2025.) In simple English, the grants come from@POTUS

Trump Money. TRUMP Money. (In simpler English, the grants are being used against Republicans) You see that? Wake up, people. It gets late early out there. (https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2100029082616373369).

You just cannot make this stuff up.

From top to bottom Connecticut's Democrats are a bunch of incompetent, incoherent, and scandalous political tools. Contrary to their lies that are amplified by either weak (or non-existent) opposition, Connecticut, still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. It has moved billions over dollars off budget over the years and hidden that from public view and comment. It has also established a multi-layered complex grift with state-funded non-profits that are completely exempt from Freedom of Information and real-time monitoring, with no legislative desire anywhere to change that. Politicians run and hide at the apropos demand for a citizen DOGE. There is no transparency and little truth being spoken in Hartford. Legal and disconnected Connecticut Taxpayers and voters are not pleased with their current Democrat One Party Rule in Hartford, despite biased election polls reflecting how poorly the Republican candidates are doing via a state-paid: poll effort to discourage voters. Voters are begging for some real leadership not incessant gibberish of their hatred of all things Republican and President Trump, for regardless of how the state Republican Party may feel, 44% of the state voted for him in 2024. Is it a wonder? Not at all. The unending and relentless criticisms of Democrats while offering no solutions, coupled with their unyielding support of illegal aliens is truly a spectacle of failed leadership and a violation of both the state and federal constitution.

Usually, it takes time to right bad situations. Things do not improve overnight. There are much better candidates that Connecticut Voters can vote for in November than these Socialist crybabies of hatred. Vote for them, and for for the last time, start Connecticut on a path of changing its awful direction where change is so critically needed.

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).

https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/blumenthal-investigation-abusive-unlawful-ice-tactics/3630482/

 

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.

Connecticut: Where The Biggest Criminal Is The Government

It is staggering to me and to many others how mired Connecticut participates in various forms of crime of all types, where little to nothing is ever done to cause the perpetrators to account. Moreover, several types of activity such as gambling, weed, and abusive practices with children in educational settings have been made “legal”, regardless of their deleterious effects on the citizenry. Sophisticated patterns of self-dealing, larceny, and financial fraud from high-ranking government officials are as much of a hallmark of the Great Nutmeg State as New Haven Pizza. 

But as the crimes mount and the nationwide shock grows at yet another Connecticut crime, scam, or embarrassment, one thing is for sure:

Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government.

Let’s start with something we are all familiar with. Death. Death is an everyday occurrence in the state of Connecticut. Some deaths are caused by criminals and crime. One such example, which could have been avoided was the senseless death of off-duty Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside,  who was only 38, years old  and passenger Brittany Islami, only 34 years old. Ms. Islami had three children who now have no mother. They were killed by a Melissa Ramirez, who allegedly had a had a blood alcohol content almost twice the legal limit (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/womans-bac-almost-twice-the-legal-limit-in-crash-that-killed-bridgeport-police-officer-girlfriend-in-danbury-warrant/). What was not reported in this state-run media article, (nor, as of the time of this writing was even mentioned by ANY candidate or elected official),  was that Ramirez, was an illegal alien. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement to The New York Post that Ramirez was in the country illegally. (https://nypost.com/2026/07/29/us-news/illegal-migrant-allegedly-killed-connecticut-cop-and-his-girlfriend-in-dui-crash/). This a person who was here illegally, did not have a Connecticut driver’s license according to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, and a substance issue. It is interesting to note that there was little mention in Connecticut's mainstream state-run media as to Ramirez being in our country illegally, because in Connecticut crime is a way of life, and Connecticut is the paterfamilias Criminal.

Would you like a cherry for your sundae? In Plantsville CT, on July 20, a motorcyclist was surrounded during a "Rideout". A "Rideout" is where hundreds of riders of all ages join in, often coordinated through social media and the riders will usually block out public streets and roads from legal users. It is extremely popular in Connecticut and law enforcement officials somehow are never proactive in stopping Rideout’s.  In this “Rideout,” a 58-year-old man on motorcycle was blocked in, was robbed of his cellphone, and was stabbed in the back with screwdrivers allegedly with Kevin Manuel Rodriguez, 20, of Waterbury, and a 13-year-old juvenile from Cheshire being the assailants.  

Rodriguez was charged with:

• Criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault.
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree assault.
• Second-degree assault
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
• Second-degree riot
• Unlawful assembly
• Second-degree threatening
• Second-degree breach of peace

Police said Rodriguez was held on a $500,000 cash/surety bond and was scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Tuesday, July 21.

The juvenile was charged with:

• First-degree robbery
• Conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
• Fourth-degree larceny
• Third-degree assault
• Second-degree riot
• Unlawful assembly
• Two counts of second-degree breach of peace

The juvenile was transported to the Hartford Juvenile Detention Center under an "Order to Detain." (https://patch.com/connecticut/southington/2-arrested-after-southington-rideout-ends-assault-robbery-stabbing-police). I attempted to find his July 21 court appearance but was unable to. There is little follow up information to this case and or to the health status of the man stabbed in the back with screwdrivers.

Two additional questions immediately come to mind for many and remain unanswered. They are Why are "Rideout’s" not being dealt with more aggressively by local Police and State Police as in one of their biggest priorities? And why was bail offered to Rodriguez in the first place for his despicable actions that almost killed an innocent man?

Of course, in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal and enabler, is the state government.

Let us move on to what Connecticut is world-renown for. Voter Fraud! Voter fraud is rampant in Connecticut. Just look at Bridgeport, especially in their absentee ballots/mayor elections as being the model city for these crimes in the number of arrests that have taken place. Bridgeport as we know has a convicted felon as their mayor in "honest" Joe Ganim. Sadly, most arrested never do prison time but are granted probation for their crimes except for Ganim and his wholesale rape of the city. World-famous “ballot stuffer” Wanda Geter-Pataky, and Alfredo Castillo have until August 25th to accept a plea deal from their part in ballot tampering. Many are nervous as to what Wanda may tell (and on whom) on her way to copping a plea.

"Two suspects charged with hundreds of ballot tampering charges in Bridgeport now have four weeks to decide whether to take a plea deal, a judge decided on Tuesday. Former Democratic Town Committee vice chair Wanda Geter-Pataky and current city councilman Alfredo Castillo must decide by August 25 whether to accept an offer from prosecutors or go to trial. They are two of the most prominent faces of the sweeping scandal that made national headlines and forced a re-do of the 2023 mayoral election." (https://connecticut.news12.com/judge-gives-top-bridgeport-ballot-suspects-four-weeks-to-accept-plea-deal)   Castillo: “The lead bosses tell us to do the work, and we do and then we get criminalized. And it’s just not fair.”

Reporter: “Alfredo, when you say the ‘lead bosses,’ who is telling you to do this?”

Castillo: “The [Sen. Chris] Murphys. Everybody, all the Democrats.”

Reporter: “What about Joe Ganim?”

Castillo: “Yeah, he's our mayor.”  

Can it be possible that these two Democrat Party operatives were being told what to do by Joe Ganim and other Democrat Party operatives? Isn't this evidence conclusive that Democrat Party voter fraud is a major issue in the state and just never gets resolved? How can voters have confidence that their vote counts given this constant fraud including people in the state here illegally and voting in unascertainable numbers?

Of course, in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government that enables all of this.

But why stop there.

Remember 2020? Remember Covid-19? Remember Dr. Anthony Fauci? Remember Ned and Annie Lamont selling Covid tests of uncertain accuracy to the state via family equity Sema4? Remember the “pump” of Sema4 stock leading up to a large cash-out by the Lamont family group fueled by $48,000,000 granted or borrowed at a 2% rate from the (should-be-abolished) Department of Economic Development, followed by a huge “dump” of Sema4 stock and subsequent flying lawsuits? Remember Ned Lamont’s close partnership with the modern-day Dr. Josef Mengele (Fauci)? Well, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo remembers quite well, and covered this on his July 30, 2026, episode of THIRTY WITH TONY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUnhkB2qwJc&t=2760s

But in Connecticut, such questions become redundant. Get over it, folks. Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government, which enables all of this.

In the upcoming election in November, maybe just maybe voters  will realize that Connecticut has reached a breaking point. It has massive crime, massive voter fraud, massive local and state taxes, a crumbling infrastructure, a public educational system that no longer prepares students with functional life and work skills. It has a failed and arrogant state government and administrative state reeking of political nepotism and complete disregard for the Taxpayers who support this quagmire. It has elected officials robbing the state treasury by ostensible outright larcenists like Doug McCrory and Erin Stewart, or sophisticated criminals like those enabling Ned Lamont. It is a truly a Democrat Party controlled Kingdom enabled by a weak form of Republicanism, where the legal working class are the serfs supporting this self-appointed Monarchy of corruption and decline.

But let us be entirely clear, while many hands have made this debacle, the system is truly broken. And the ownership of this mess falls entirely upon the Democrat Party. Get ready for even more of the same in 2026 unless something drastically changes.

 

86-47. The Battle Plan In Democrat-Driven Politics.

 In the political hellscape that is America, 2026, finding real leadership anywhere is a challenge at best. Sadly, this leadership crisis is most acute in the present Democrat party, where a casual observation reveals an organization bereft of principles and morals doing anything that it can to win, even if it means embracing a toxic abusive Nazi like Graham Platner in Maine or a blithering hyperbolic idiot like Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Cities and states exist in danger and destruction under the reigns of people like Kathy Hochul in New York and Ned Lamont in Connecticut. Gone are the days of fine Democrats like President John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman. These gentlemen could not exist in the morass of chaos, cheating, destruction, and hate that is the Democrat brand today.

 Hence, what specifically describes the Democrat brand today? 86-47. (Expletive) Trump. That summarizes the Democrat Party in Connecticut and America today. The Democrat Party represents something that would have been unimaginable 20 years ago. Lost is debate and vision and creative participation in solving problems and strengthening the country. Because if it involves anything at all that has been positively brought about by the 47^th President of the United States, it needs to be cursed and stomped to pieces. 86-47. That is all that matters. And may the devil strike the person dead who thinks otherwise.

The Democrat Party in 2026 represents the following:

The endorsement and embracing of Socialist and Communist political/social positions rather than freedom and democracy.

A murderous hatred of all things President Trump, the Republican Party and any dissenting opinion to their failed Socialist and Communist political/social positions.

Unchecked illegal immigration with immediate Taxpayer funded support exceeding Social Security payments for many legal citizens that have worked their entire life and paid taxes.

Acceptable violent clashes by left wing paid political protestors against law enforcement officials and ICE (Immigration Control and Enforcement) and detention centers are a new form of entertainment by the Democrat Party. 

Meaningless and fraudulent elections with the counting of ballots made by dead people and other illegal voters that only end when the chosen Socialist Democrat candidate has won.

Fraudulent voter rolls that may not be inspected by any governing agency.

A legal system that protects the criminal, and disregards the victims of crime.

Laws that no longer apply to the Democrat Party.

The encouragement of keeping mentally deranged individuals on the streets to attack, murder and or commit crimes against innocent law-abiding citizens.

The promotion of homeless drug dens in full view of all on prominent Democrat Party run city streets. 

Open injections, public defecation, and the use of innocent dogs as drug experiments is perfectly acceptable, and must be viewed as normal.

Rampant fraud and crime in Taxpayer funded programs and "nonprofits" that will help benefit those politically connected to the shameless Democrat Party. The amount fraud taking place in our country is a large reason why we have a National Debt of over $39 Trillion dollars.

 A bought and paid-for state run media that will blindly follow whatever the Democrats want them to say (or not say).

You may wonder how the above-described horrors exist in America 2026? It is simple. 86-47. (Expletive) Trump. That is all that matters. So, does it matter at all that many poor babies will be born and will not have parents setting up free “Trump Accounts” with a $1,000 free deposit to work as a first step to provide significant capital to them on their 18^th Birthday? Does it matter if an inept state like Connecticut is one week away from the Federal “Opportunity Zone” deadline and will not declare regions in state that could take the first step to free themselves from perpetual urban decay? Does it matter that spineless and useless Republicans in states like Connecticut do not take a first step in campaigning on these incredible benefits that can be life changing to the people of the state? Suffice it to say it does not matter. What does matter is 86-47. Trump must die so all can live. The Democrat Party is truly the Cancer of America in 2026. Their reign of terror is unstoppable.

The Connecticut Democrat Party is in the same frenzy. United States Senator Chris Murphy is running around the country promoting his new failed book and handing out money to leftist organizations. Attorney General William Tong is making a career of suing the Trump Administration over everything and everything as several prominent local Republicans pander to him and seek his “bipartisan” friendship while they are photographed at events. Socialist-Leftist Liberal Governor Candidate Josh Elliott apparently does not wish to pay a "Living Wage" in the two stores he owns but decries why the minimum wage is not higher. Governor Ned Lamont, if he truthfully has nothing to hide as he drones on, refuses to disclose financial statements and anything relating to his family's hedge fund and their past profiting from Connecticut Taxpayer funded no bid contracts and forgiven loans.  Weekly, many ask for answers to the Lamont's involvement in "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Infomatics", “Centrellis”. "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD",  the Lamont-related Cayman Island partnerships, large Cayman Islands deals such as the "Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund" hiding in the UCONN Foundation,  and the numerous deals hidden through “quasi-public” organizations such as “Connecticut Innovations”.  Numerous Democrat State legislators have been caught in various illegal activities from DUI, harassment, lawmaking while drunk, stealing from Target and the infamous nonprofit scandals of the “Blue Hills Civic Association,” along with other myriad “nonprofit” organizations in the state.

Seeing this debacle in Connecticut, many see opportunities and a chance to right the world and bring positive change. But unfortunately, not the Connecticut Republican Party. As of the time of this writing, The Connecticut Republican Party still cannot find candidates for 31 Districts in the present election cycle, but was somehow able in three days to marshal a primary challenge in District 50 to Jadon E. MacCormack with seconds to spare for his remarks made several weeks ago on alternative lifestyles.  The Democrat Party was in full force condemning MacCormack's statements in shows of "bipartisanship". But there  is irony as the Connecticut Democrat Party supports Connecticut Taxpayer funded gender transition treatments for minors, inappropriate drag queen story hours for minors, and other assorted books that border on pornographic to be allowed in public and school libraries, while the Connecticut Republican Party reacts to each of these issues with a deafening silence as they attempt to shame those that disagree with them.  Aren’t decent conservative God-fearing people enjoined from disagreement with items that politicians endorse? And if so not allowed, then why are we prohibited if we live in a country that has free speech protected? Or is it free speech reserved for only those who agree with the Democrat Party and its assorted silent participants crying and thinking (Expletive)Trump?

But why bother? All that matters is the same 86-47. 86-47 has even gone so far as to be a coded threat to the President of the United States of America made by the former Director of the FBI, James Comey. Why is this acceptable and must not be criticized? After all it isn't is open game when it comes to the failed games of election year politics. 

Let's be real, the new Democrat Party and those enabling are playing this game by rules they have made up with no prisoners being held. You either agree or you are history to put it bluntly. Nothing else matters as far as they are concerned. But right now, it matters more than ever. 

Please do not ever let a Democrat or a politician dictate your morals or ethics to you. Because friends, we are at a point in history where our lives, and the future of the country, depend on it.

Connecticut: Are You Better Off Than An Illegal Alien?

 The forgotten men, women and families in the once great state of Connecticut really do not ask for much. They ask for clean and safe streets. Lower taxes. Reliable public education. Recreation. Economic opportunity. The chance to build equity and value. However, the twisted and putrid Democrat machine in Hartford continues to manufacture a directed effort to assail anything close to that for these innocent citizens. Week in and week out things continue to get worse in Connecticut. Every time you think things are getting better, the Connecticut Democrat Party dumps another piece of bad and unlawful legislation out to oppress the populace at that last minute. Below, we will now examine the latest piece of crap that is being force fed to Connecticut Taxpayers making their lives yet even more dangerous and defenseless.

This latest legislative brutality is known as Senate Bill 397 (An Act Concerning Democracy and Government Accountability. (“Bill”) Passed by the Connecticut Senate in April 2026. This Bill is stated to strengthen oversight of United States Immigration and  Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), permit lawsuits against federal officers for civil rights violations, and ban law enforcement masks. It creates "protected areas,” (e.g., schools, hospitals, and churches), where civil arrests are restricted, and limits data retention from automated license plate readers.

Upon reading the Bill it is quite clear that the fever dream of the deluded Connecticut State Senate is to see state officers in violent skirmishes with the officers of ICE. It is ostensible that if the state officers prevail (an extremely unlikely scenario especially given the force permitted in defense of the U.S. Constitution and the Supremacy Clause), this same state Senate could then set up a twisted and delusional banana state under its own control showing no mercy to its legitimate citizens.

But this sane or disaffected Connecticut citizen must come to grips with why the Connecticut State Senate wishes to destroy everything for which they have worked. This same citizen wonders why government would not work to protect what they have worked so hard for, especially as a good part of their tax dollars have been expended for such protection.

Perhaps at this juncture it would be helpful to review what ICE does, particularly with respect to Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ERO"). The ERO directorate upholds U.S. immigration law at, within, and beyond our borders. ERO's work is critical to the enforcement of immigration law against those who present a danger to our national security, are a threat to public safety, or who otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration system.

ERO operations target public safety threats, such as convicted criminal undocumented aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have otherwise violated our nation's immigration laws, including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges. ERO deportation officers assigned to INTERPOL also assist in targeting and apprehending foreign fugitives or Fugitive Arrest and Removal (FAR) cases who are wanted for crimes committed abroad and who are now at-large in the U.S.

ERO manages all aspects of the immigration enforcement process, including identification and arrest, domestic transportation, detention, bond management, and supervised release, including alternatives to detention. In addition, ERO removes undocumented aliens ordered removed from the U.S. to more than 150 countries around the world. (https://www.ice.gov/about-ice)

When reading the above, it is quite clear that ICE does keep our country safe from the invasion of ten million illegal and undocumented people that entered our country during the Biden Administration as they try to apprehend the many criminals that were let in at that time. This also includes 1.7 million migrants detected by technology but not apprehended that have evaded Border Patrol. But the Connecticut Democrat Party, with zero regard for legitimate Connecticut taxpayers, wants open borders and to punish Connecticut taxpayers even more, by having them pay for these illegals. It is estimated that the state pays $1.3 billion dollars or more for them. But you will not get a real answer from your nontransparent Democrat state government as to the costs. Moreover, you will get the Governor and the Attorney General vehemently insisting that Connecticut is not a sanctuary state, during a time when every large city in Connecticut has deemed itself to be a “welcoming sanctuary city,” regardless of legal citizenship. This convoluted strategy is right out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals". And this is the Connecticut way of governance.

I believe it is also valuable to try to refresh the Connecticut Democrat Party's memory as to why ICE is trying to enforce Federal Laws, and respectfully provide this piece from 2024: "The same disastrous catch-and-release policies that let the killers of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray loose into the country are also still in use by this administration (Biden)––regardless of the consequences. In fact, this fiscal year alone, more than 1.2 million inadmissible aliens have received a “Notice to Appear” from CBP and have been released into our communities with inadequate vetting and screening. The list of preventable crimes committed by those here illegally unfortunately continued to grow last month. On July 28, Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez shot a San Antonio police officer who was responding to a domestic violence call. Chacon-Gutierrez reportedly entered the U.S. illegally through Eagle Pass, Texas, in November of 2023 and was released with an April 2026 court date. According to a DHS memo revealed on July 30, more than 1,000 known members of the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA) are in the U.S. and have been encouraged to attack state and local law enforcement in our communities". (https://homeland.house.gov/2024/08/21/startling-stats-factsheet-nationwide-border-encounters-surpass-10-million-under-biden-harris-administration-as-americans-suffer/)

But who gives a tinker’s dam about obedience to Federal law in Connecticut? Connecticut Democrats in the Senate pushed through Senate Bill 397 as discussed above, a Bill that Connecticut Republicans were not allowed to read . What residents are they talking about protecting? Illegal ones? Again let us refresh the Connecticut Democrat Party memories; What about “Operation Broken Trust” in August 2025 when ICE arrested sixty-five people in several Connecticut cities including Stamford, Norwalk, and Danbury, targeting individuals with connections to organized crime and serious offenses? These arrested individuals were linked to charges including sexual assault, domestic violence, child sex abuse, drug dealing, and weapons violations and some of these criminals had previously been convicted of serious offenses and were in the community prior to the ICE sweep.  Or what about illegal immigrant Edgar Gomez who beat to death a two-year-old child in Stamford? These people will be protected under Bill SB 397. Why? Can the Connecticut Democrat Party confirm that all illegal immigrants are out of the state and Taxpayers are no longer spending $1.3 billion dollars to support them? Why would they want these criminals living in the state?

The bill, S.B. 397, allows residents to sue federal law enforcement in state courts. It also designates churches, schools, and hospitals as protected areas. Under the bill, federal law enforcement would need a judicial warrant to enter. ICE agents and all federal law enforcement at all levels would be required to show their badges and are banned from wearing masks. Republicans blasted the bill on Tuesday, saying the state does not have the ability to tell ICE agents how to do their jobs. "Why are we doing this other than passing a bill that sounds good politically for them, and frankly is nothing more than a guise – an anti-cop bill," said State Sen. Stephen Harding (R-Minority Leader). Sen. Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) said that ICE's operations have "instilled a fear into communities across our state that is crippling and cruel." We’re taking action to make sure federal law enforcement has to follow the same rules that state and local police do. We’re making sure our local residents who are mistreated have recourse against those mistreating them. Against a backdrop of lawless violence and widespread discrimination, this bill tells Connecticut residents their safety is paramount," Anwar said in a statement following the bill's passing. ( https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/ct-senate-pass-bill-aimed-at-protecting-residents-from-ice-sends-it-to-house/3725724/)

Democrat State Senator Anwar who has been known for his proclivity for illegal and audacious conduct, appears delusional with his incoherent statements. His statement tells legal Connecticut citizens and Taxpayers to screw off and drop dead if you want to be protected from illegal and unlawful immigrants that roam Connecticut. He wants Connecticut to flourish in an unlawful, illegal manner with criminals roaming the streets, while featuring a flourishing illegal state-supported drug trade, human trafficking and much more. You see, the stream of illegal immigrants into the state to Democrats provides cheap labor and new voters to keep them in power forever. It is a Socialists dream.

Thus, we see another bad bill that hurts Connecticut engineered by a dangerous and totally out of touch Connecticut Democrat Party passing again with tepid Republican pushback. I, and many others, cannot understand how a bill like this could be legal and pass under Federal laws. But since your Connecticut government has no interest in protecting you, I end this article with some simple advice as found on the ICE website. Connecticut Taxpayers and Legal Connecticut residents can call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE to report suspicious activity. Further, I urge you to report this bill SB 397 and the people responsible for it. The Bill is suspicious activity and is neither legal nor constitutional.

Suspicious activity and illegality. This is the Gold Standard of governance for the twisted and putrid Connecticut Party in 2026, and it is safe to say that due to the failure of Democracy in 2026, only you and I can push for any change in this regard.

The Law Is a Jackass (And So Are You, If You Follow It)

 Do laws really exist in our society today? Or do we have a choice as to which laws we follow and which laws we do not? Minnesota is an excellent example of this question. Minnesota does not appear to be an isolated case, as other Democrat Party strongholds are also showing signs of fraud, paid professional protestors, a complete and total failure of governance, incompetent and excuse-ridden elected officials, and a growing disrespect for the rule of law in our country. It is well-settled that Minnesota has a serious, ongoing corruption debacle within its Somalian community. Fraud is rampant across several different social services programs in the state. Estimates of the fraud now exceed $9 billion, which is a sickening waste of taxpayer money. 

The magnitude of this waste, fraud and abuse caused a Congressional Hearing to take place on January 7. Here is an overview of what had transpired:

In his opening remarks, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) stated the following:

“Federal prosecutors estimate these criminals have stolen at least $9 billion. The breadth and depth of this fraud is breathtaking. And I fear it is just the tip of the iceberg. Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota’s Democratic leadership have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in these crimes. They failed Minnesotans and all Americans, handing millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudsters. They failed children and others in Minnesota. They failed their own state employees, some of whom have come forward as whistleblowers. How could they allow this massive fraud to go on for YEARS? This is why we are here. We must expose this theft of taxpayer dollars and hold everybody accountable who let it happen. The American people demand jail time for those who stole their hard-earned money and accountability for officials who sat by as resources were drained.”
(https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-minnesota-governor-walz-and-attorney-general-ellison-ignored-rampant-taxpayer-fraud-and-silenced-state-whistleblowers/)

Minnesota State Representative Marion Rarick stated:
“I am a member serving on the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee. I message with whistleblowers almost daily. Their message has been consistent. They are grateful for our attention to this fraud. They have explained that they live in constant fear of retaliation. 

A former compliance specialist stated that the Minnesota Department of Human Services (“DHS”) functions in the opposite manner of what you would expect. Minnesota employees who suggest improvements, (or report fraud, heaven forbid), face significant retaliation. The messenger is shot. In 2019, employees alerted Minnesota DHS officials to sloppy contracting practices that were not legally compliant. They were later escorted out of the building, faced lengthy investigations, and received involuntary transfers.”

Unlike past Presidential administrations, The Trump Administration is not taking this gross malfeasance lightly. To date, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has charged ninety-eight defendants in Minnesota fraud-related cases—85 of whom are of Somali descent. Sixty-four have already been convicted. The DOJ has also issued over 1,750 subpoenas, executed more than 130 search warrants, and conducted over 1,000 witness interviews.
(https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-minnesota-governor-walz-and-attorney-general-ellison-ignored-rampant-taxpayer-fraud-and-silenced-state-whistleblowers/)

The following testimony came from the same hearing cited above.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) stated:
“According to the FBI, the $250 million in federal taxpayer money stolen was funneled into luxury cars, homes, and lifestyles. The Committee is back today because this fraud is just the tip of the iceberg. Do you all believe the Walz administration seriously pursued whistleblower reports of fraud?”

State Rep. Rarick responded:

“I think the Walz administration seriously retaliated against whistleblowers. Threats of firing them.”

Rep. Foxx concluded:
“Innocent American taxpayers are collateral damage in their reckless disregard for taxpayer funds. Hardworking American communities are left to pay the price.”

To me, this says it all—a complete disregard for both the rule of law and taxpayer money. However one underlying fact is crystal clear: While one side of the citizenry believes in the premises of laws, consequences for lawbreakers and the benefits of America and its freedoms, the side most clearly tied to Blue-State Democratic leadership is fighting a war against decency, freedom, common sense and truth, amount other things. They really do not care about whatever lie they propound and perpetuate, as long as it meets the objective and gets the job done. You see, laws and right and wrong are not applicable to them.

As we know, the federal government has also acted by sending ICE agents into Minneapolis, Minnesota, to locate illegal immigrants in the city, some of whom may be involved in the widespread social services fraud scandal and other heinous crimes. Naturally, when ICE enters an area, there seem to be never-ending protests against their presence. As usual, cries from the Democrat Party help fuel anti-ICE fringes, culminating in yet another unnecessary death of an irrational woman this past Wednesday. If a law enforcement official requests that you stop, why is this wrong? Aren’t they in charge of law and order in our country? By simply complying and answering ICE law enforcement officials’ questions, this person who died would still be alive today. That is the simple yet harsh truth of what happened, contrary to the usual Socialist/Democrat response. Their anger, cries, and incoherent gibberish mask the plain fact that the rule of law exists and that some of us in society still follow it. Paid protestors shouting everything from “Free Palestine” and “Free Maduro” to “Down with ICE” created an incoherent rhetoric of hatred against all things American. This is the reality of the Democrat Party in 2026: a party that lacks ideas, lacks solutions, and—most importantly—lacks respect for the rule of law.

But I submit unto you that this disdain for all manner of lawfulness is fought with a zeal and violence far beyond the conceptual understanding of mainstream Republicans and Conservatives that believe it is still 1995. They search for reason and discussion with Democrats and leftists that are only interested in the destruction of all things American, and sane thinking be damned. At one point in 2025, Tim Walz supercharged his constituents by comparing ICE to the Gestapo. (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05/19/dhs-hits-back-tim-walzs-dangerous-rhetoric-comparing-ice-gestapo). California Governor Gavin Newsom, presiding over the serial destruction of his own state, continually defends Tim Walz and demonizes President Trump as the root of all evils (https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsom-blasts-ices-state-sponsored-terrorism-after-minneapolis-killing/). More attacks against law enforcement by illegal aliens happen in other cities (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/federal-agents-shooting-portland.html) . And given the absolutely propitious and perfect timing of the January 7 Minneapolis ICE shooting, one can only wonder if this event was perfectly calibrated to take the world’s eyes off of the Somalian multi-billion dollar fraud scandal and paint miscreants such as Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey as innocent victims, something that would have been impossible one day prior. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did an excellent job of exploring this possibility-becoming-probability on the January 8, 2026 THIRTY WITH TONY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0tN24XnARo) . The fact remains that these leftists and Democrats see every day as a war against all things good and decent, and they have no commitment to decency, transparency, nor reason to bring their wicked concepts to pass. They will simply kill you (and if necessary, themselves) to accomplish their objective.

So, what caused this massive Democrat swing to a lack of reason and domination at all costs including one’s life? Is it because the laws do not correspond with the political ideologies of those who wish to disregard them? Is it because the Biden Administration and other Democrat-run states and cities simply do not care about laws if their disjointed and slurred policies take priority? Do you really want to live in a state of constant chaos and anarchy? Some, do. It is clear that many in the Democrat Party want to nurture this chaos and anarchy for political benefit and that is all that matters to them.

Law and order, rooted in the Holy Bible, are the foundation of our society. Following the rule of law makes life better for everyone and truly does save lives. The Democrat Party’s disrespect for the rule of law and ethics in government needs to stop immediately, and in the interim must be aggressively fought by anyone carrying a label that says “Republican”. Leftist and Democrat arguments and temper tantrums show how severed they have become from what is actually happening in this country. 

May God finally free America from the wretched cancer now known, as the Democrat Party.

Truth, Fiction, and The Democrat Media-Industrial Complex

 Even through the darkest moments since the brutal assassination of “Turning Point, USA” founder Charlie Kirk, the Good People of Connecticut should thank God every single day that the state-run Media Mob of the state of Connecticut is not the sole source of news. For in this Bermuda Triangle of Misinformation,  down is up, lies are truth, and we are to all worship at the feet of the one party-driven Democrat Connecticut.

This past week, three issues further cement Connecticut as a state unconcerned with its legal Taxpaying citizens and its massive debt issues, or in dealing with the truth in any way whatsoever.

Let us first look at an incredible "agreement" that Governor Ned Lamont made with Connecticut Chief Justice Raheem L. Mullins. Ever since we were grade-school children, we have been taught that the United States  system of jurisprudence is a crowning jewel of a free society where citizens of a free country can have their grievances heard in an impartial and fair manner. But all that changes in the warped wonderworld of Connecticut. We are now told that the court system is to be supported of everyone, including (but not limited to) those who reside illegally within Connecticut borders. 

Connecticut policy now dictates that we now must somehow understand that courthouses "remain safe and accessible to everyone, regardless of immigration status."  Thus, Lamont and Mullins have now decided to create their own "rules" that intend to supersede federal law by "prohibiting federal immigration agents from conducting warrantless arrests in state courthouses and from wearing masks while inside them."  Lamont further stated; "There have been not a lot of incidents, but there have been some instances, of ICE going into our courthouses, wearing masks, taking people out," Lamont told reporters in Hartford. "[It's] very important that people, immigrants, and even undocumented immigrants, feel safe going into our courthouses. In many cases, they're going into our courthouse as a witness to a crime, doing everything for public safety; more broadly, maybe they've been a victim of abuse. Maybe it's something regarding landlord, whatever it is, people should feel safe going into the courthouse." (https://patch.com/connecticut/across-ct/connecticut-bans-warrantless-ice-arrests-masked-agents-state-courthouses)

Therefore, to illegally slow down and/or attempt to eliminate the arrests of illegal immigrants who are in Connecticut, the woe-begotten policy  "requires federal agents such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to obtain a judicial warrant before making an arrest inside a courthouse. It also bars law enforcement from wearing masks while conducting enforcement actions there, unless medically necessary." (Ibid). But of course, this is hypocritically ironic. For now, we are supposed to forget that Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party slammed anyone and everyone if they did not wear their masks for the past five years in their Covid-19 shakedown of the state. Therefore, anyone who lost their job and or business or had their lives ruined during the hostile and draconian Covid-19 shutdowns should be suing the state in these same "safe" and "mask free" courthouses to get their jobs and businesses back. 

The reality is that you are to expect no fairness, clarity, or integrity from anyone in the Democrat-driven Connecticut government, and you are to understand that policies and procedures will be driven entirely by their whims and desires at a given moment. 

Secondly, we really do have Federal Immigration Laws! It is not a myth. The Connecticut state-run Media Mob will lead you to believe that such laws do not exist, or that whatever convoluted and illegal laws (such as the “Trust Act” ) take precedence over Federal law. Or conversely, state legislators from both parties will tell us that their pal State Rep. Corey Paris did not break Federal Immigration Law when he put illegal aliens on “alert” when Federal ICE agents came into his district to arrest them. Unfortunately, 8 U.S.C. § 1324 unambiguously reads to the contrary. However to show he cannot be beat in this category, Lamont overtly conspired this week with state school superintendents (all supported by your tax dollars) to shield illegal students from ICE (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/hartford/lamont-superintendents-to-meet-on-protecting-students-from-immigration-enforcement/ ) (My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did a wonderful job of explaining this situation in factual terms on his September 18 THIRTY WITH TONY Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUoewcLhNkc&ab_channel=THIRTYWITHTONY )  . By definition of Federal law every single one of Lamont and the superintendents should be arrested. How that comes down remains to be seen. However, it is quite clear that the political system and the state-run Media Mob of Connecticut will never follow established law if it is inconvenient to their purposes, regardless of if such purposes are legal or ethical.

In addition, Connecticut,which is proud to call itself a “sanctuary state” (while often denying that assertion in its own print  publications),  never discloses how much it costs legal Connecticut Taxpayers to house, give medical benefits, schooling, and other assorted benefits to these illegal immigrants, some who are also criminals in the state.  Why is that? (Shame on you for even asking the question).

But in the Media-Industrial Complex of Connecticut, distortion and obfuscation know no bounds. Once again, we see another embellishment piece published by the CT Mirror regarding darling Finance expert and current Comptroller Democrat Sean Scanlon 

(https://ctmirror.org/2025/09/17/ct-slashes-more-debt-state-worker-health-care/) Scanlon, who never ever fails to postpone a debt payment that he does not like, is once again exhibiting the financial acumen of teenagers by delaying due debts on state obligations, thereby accruing incalculable interest on innocent taxpayers, some not yet born. This is the same Scanlon, being the same person who "won" over Avelo Airlines to have them fly out of Tweed New Haven Airport. This is the same Scanlon who never speaks about the gargantuan long term unfunded liabilities in the state nor is he pressed by any political figures with respect to the same. But of course, Scanlon keeps smiling and of course media accountability is nonexistent. My readers are well-aware of the short- and long-term debt along with the unfunded liabilities of Connecticut. This figure, hovers more than $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars well in excess of the treasured "fiscal guardrails". In practice, it is literally impossible to ascertain as to how much it really is. A recent report by the Connecticut Office of Fiscal Analysis should alarm all legal Connecticut Taxpayers. The report states that for 2024 that there is a shortfall of over $956 million dollars in the state's retirement health trust fund for healthcare eligible state employees. The fund is funded at 16.2% which is apparently a political victory for the Democrats since it was only 10.1% for 2021. I find the costs staggering for the 85,696 retired members, spouses and beneficiaries currently receiving these benefits, considering the overall unfunded retiree health care benefits is over $17 billion dollars. (https://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa/Documents/year/SMF/2026SMF-20250831_Other%20Post%20Employment%20Benefits%20(August%202025).pdf).  But of course, all these concepts are lost to Mr. Scanlon as he smiles for the cameras and faces no hard questions whatsoever as to what is really taking place.

The wretched state of the fisc in Connecticut does not stop there, as bad as that is. The shortfall for the unfunded part of the state pension system (non-health care)  is over $38 billion dollars and is also severely unfunded. The state in just retiree pension and health care costs is in debt for $55 billion dollars. (https://www.truthinaccounting.org/library/doclib/Financial-State-of-the-States-2024.pdf)  This is fiscal leadership by Ned Lamont and his Democrat Party? We are supposed to feel good about this. And what will the SEBAC state employee contract cost Connecticut Taxpayers and how much higher will the state debt become? 

But alas, what does truth matter? The distortion of law and finances are evident in Connecticut and are the results of poor social and fiscal policies enacted by the chronic one-party Democrat rule for many years. The Democrat-driven political system and its attendant Media Mob never offer any solutions but in lieu of that, continually produce made up economic and governance fantasies in a state that continues to spiral out-of-control in so many areas especially with crime and state finances. But reality, incompetence, malfeasance, and obfuscation cannot exist in the same universe. Crime, high taxes, and a lack of transparency are the real Democrat political messages and problems that continue to ignore daily. 

Since the Democrat Media Industrial Complex will not protect you, my very strong admonition is to continually hold these malfeasant souls to a continual reality-based litmus test. Refuse the lies and continually expose falsehoods and demand accountability. It is the only way.

Connecticut's Pork of HB 7066-To the Victims: You Will Be Spoiled

 As we discussed last week (and in drawing on the great Mark Twain) Connecticut Taxpayers are never, ever safe with the Democrat State legislature in session. Needless to say, there are no checks and balances to state government since Connecticut is ruled and driven with a hard, liberal fist of Connecticut Democrat Party socialism.  More evidence of this citizen-be-damned rule can be seen in one of the most incoherent bills seen in a long time: HB 7066 "An Act Concerning Interactions Between School Personnel And Immigration Authorities, The Purchase And Operation Of Certain Drones, Grants To Certain Nonprofit Organizations, And Student Athlete Compensation Through Endorsement Contracts And Revenue Sharing Agreements."  This catchy, feel good, political glad-handing and payoff bill is an excellent example of why both the Connecticut State Legislature and Connecticut's State Government is broken beyond repair. (https://legiscan.com/CT/text/HB07066/2025)

This bill (“bill”) spends over $2.88 million dollars of Connecticut Taxpayers monies on a variety of "feel good" and "politically correct" nonprofits and organizations having no benefit to the hardworking and taxpaying legitimate citizen. In a note of hope for the future, the bill's funding was somehow cut/reduced by DOGE or the "evil" Republicans such as Republican President Trump. The bill makes a stew of incoherent issues such as making foreign made drones illegal, procedures to ignore Federal laws regarding illegal immigration, and making sure student athletes especially at the University of Connecticut, (aka “U-Conned”) can get paid ridiculous amounts of money for playing a college sport. The bill itself is a gourmet feast of pork, political art, and incoherence at its worst.

As just one example, $800,000 is included in this bill for “Planned Parenthood of Southern New England”.  Planned Parenthood of Southern New England's President and CEO Amanda Skinner earned $434,095 and $18,574 in "other" compensation in fiscal year 2023. This organization also has $57,330,020 in "net assets" in fiscal year 2023. (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/60263565). Thus, one may assume that without this $800,000 from Connecticut Taxpayers that Planned Parenthood of Southern New England will either go out of business and or President and CEO Amanda Skinner would have to take a pay cut or have her position eliminated. Why is this $800,000 so critical to the operation of Planned Parenthood of Southern New England? Did any of the “talented public servants” in the Connecticut State Legislature bother to perform the simple five-minute analysis that I just did that would reflect this money is simply not needed? Did any of these same people question the salary paid to Amanda Skinner prior to the grant from the bill? Or does anyone there even care as to how they spend your tax money? (Why should we even bother to ask such a nonsensical question)

But wait! There is more!! Adding further insult to the Connecticut Taxpayer are grants to more than twenty nonprofit organizations. These include $62,500 to the “Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants, Inc.” The President and CEO of the “Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants, Inc.,” Susan Schnitzer, made $108,355 in salary and $12,130 in "other" compensation for fiscal year 2023.  This organization also has $1,684,033 in "net assets" in fiscal year 2023. (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/60669118). Thus, one may assume that without this $62,500 from Connecticut Taxpayers that they either will go out of business and or President and CEO Susan Schnitzer would have to take a pay cut. Why is this $62,500 so critical to their operation? Is any part of this funding to be expended in support of illegal immigration? Are you curious about this? (If you are, do not bother asking a legislator, as we can be absolutely sure none of them asked this question when the grant was contemplated or thereafter).

Also included for free cash is the “Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, Inc.” which will receive $225,000. Then-Executive Director Chris George of the Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, Inc. made $122,987 in salary and $11,033 in "other" compensation for fiscal year 2023. This organization also has $4,864,659 in "net assets" in fiscal year 2023. (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/60653044). Thus, one may assume that without this $225,000 from Connecticut Taxpayers, Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, Inc. will either go out of business and/or the successor of Executive Director Chris George would have to take a pay cut. Why is this $225,000 so critical to their operation? Will any part of this funding be used in the encouragement of illegal alien voting? It is known that in 2023, Chris George wrote on the site about his post-retirement plans being the “strengthening our democracy by working on voter registration and voter turnout.” Does this not provoke your curiosity? Does Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, Inc. have any involvement with illegal voter registration? Are they working on the up-and-up, or to the contrary? Will anyone in the Legislature ever ask the right questions or exercise fiscal governance in the least?

HB 7066 was deemed as an "Emergency Certification” bill. This legislative maneuver (which should deemed illegal) is used to fast-track legislation without vetting by legislative process, such as public hearings. The legislative process is made deliberately difficult to research and to understand by Connecticut Taxpayers to facilitate the repeated financial rape of them. Most certainly it is meant to be that way, and it is made excessively complex to push through junk bills like HB7066 that give the distinct appearance of payoffs and show an arrogant disagreement with Federal policies that Connecticut must now follow. For we know, garbage legislation  suits the political needs of the Connecticut Democrat Party and its sycophants’ supplicants, toadies, flunkies, and lackeys, (and who gives a rip-roaring red apple about you, anyway?)  

Moreover, how does this over $2.88 million dollars in "emergency certification” apply to Connecticut's venerated and celebrated "fiscal guardrails"? This is just another lie circulating in Connecticut's corrupt Legislature. The fiscal horrors of Connecticut are not discussed by either party. Connecticut's short- and long-term debt along with its unfunded liabilities is roughly $100 to $150 billion dollars. There is no plan whatsoever to resolve this fiscal tsunami and nightmare for Connecticut Taxpayers which deficit the "guardrails" do not touch. But holding on to false or incomplete fiscal ideals while blithely handing out money to cronies and twisted idealist and secretive projects is a Connecticut hallmark. And one really must question the amount of money given to "non-profits" especially in Connecticut.  Connecticut taxpayers seem to have no say in their government that they pay for nor are they allowed public comment especially for spending bills such as HB7066. 

And as usual Connecticut Taxpayers keep getting financially raped. The Connecticut of dodgy and questionable nonprofits and pilfering college leaders inter-alia continues unabated with the only hope of curtailing the same will be cutoffs in Federal funding. 

But rest assured, Connecticut will continue to soldier on to fiscal Armageddon with new heights in citizen disregard and crony-feeding. The Connecticut Democrat Party will make sure of that premise, ad infinitum, and forevermore.
