Voter Fraud (aka Standard Democrat Operating Procedure In Connecticut)

 Over the years, I have written about voter fraud as I have seen it facing ridicule, abuse, and derision for my position from those that are politically connected. But if anything, voter fraud has increased over time, spreading over the years to other parts of our country. Regardless of where it happens, it has the tacit blessing of the Democrat Party.  It is a sad day for our country when many Democrats believe that non-citizens somehow have the right to vote such as what is happening in Virginia and Minnesota (and probably Connecticut).  And this is wrong.  Dead wrong. And illegal. And unconstitutional. And grounds for evil practices and malfeasance

The Heritage Foundation has been tracking voter fraud cases in our country (https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/search?state=CT).  Connecticut has had numerous cases dating back to 1988 and the infamous Bridgeport State Senate Ernie Newton ballot fraud case.  In fact, in Connecticut, the bulk of fraudulent cases are from Bridgeport and have been going for almost 50 years, going back to Mayor John Mandanici’s people submitting ballots for dead people in the 1970s.  These egregious cases have been continually swept under the rug, laughed at, disregarded, and avoided at all costs by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Look at what happened with the 2023 Bridgeport Democrat Mayoral Primary and the stuffed absentee ballot fraud that took place, making Connecticut the butt of national jokes once again. But humility and shame are not emotions present in the makeup of a Connecticut Democrat where its a complete double-down on any fraudulent practice if it accomplishes the desired objective.

As just one recent example, Republican State Senator Rob Sampson has again decried the election fraud that seems to be constantly going on based on a recent unsealed complaint alleging that a Bridgeport city councilman convinced a non-citizen to illegally register to vote in 2023 and persuaded her to apply for an absentee ballot that he later cast for her.  His response to this new voter fraud issue was to the point “When will one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at our State Capitol admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees? And by the way: it is not just a ‘Bridgeport Problem.’ You can bet it has been happening in other municipalities. We need reform in Connecticut's absentee voting process. Republicans and I have been shouting from the rooftops about this for a long time prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment. Now, we have this news. Are you sick of seeing it? Then, as you head to the polls to vote, consider how Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ commonsense ideas to fix this obviously broken system. Absolutely nothing will change in Connecticut if you keep voting for Democrats.” (https://ctsenaterepublicans.com/2024/10/sen-sampson-statement-on-newly-unsealed-voter-registration-complaint/).  

Sampson was immediately condemned by the Connecticut Democrat Party for his comments, but more than arguably, why doesn’t the State Republican Party go one solid step farther and declare global war on voter fraud, by investigating and pursuing every reported occurrence of abuses?  For the abuses are sickening. Can Democrats explain to anyone why Bridgeport and its voting problems have gone on for almost 50 years with no reforms?  And can Democrats equally and completely deny with documentary proof that this form of voter fraud does not exist in other Connecticut municipalities especially with the absurd same day voter registration that exists in the state?  Democrats do not do so, because Democrats know exactly what they are doing and do nothing to stop it because fraud invariably accrues to their benefit.  As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo often says, its simple as that, (and regrettably, just as difficult).

Moreover, what is astounding to me is no one in this same “legitimate media” (or “political/media complex”) pursues other indicias of fraud to trace it to its root causes. Take Bridgeport. “Wanda The Ballot Stuffer” has been politically operating in Bridgeport over the course of several gubernatorial elections, several of which somehow changed overnight. Would it not be a reasonable question to ask if Wanda had her hand in several of these contests, such as the Lamont-Stefanowski debacle of 2018? Or take this past week. Rep. Greg Howard (R) of Stonington found his name omitted from early voting ballots. How is this grievous flaw possible? Who was responsible for printing the ballots? Is anyone responsible for proofreading ballots? Has this occurrence happened with others in the state. These are all very obvious and logical questions that stunningly, are never pursued by either politically connected individuals or state-run (and paid for), media.

 But take all of this in totality. This is the labyrinthine reality of voter fraud: Every fraudulent voter registration and/or questionable transaction could result in a fraudulent vote that in turn cancels out your legitimate vote and can influence the results of an election.  It is well-established that The Connecticut Democrat Party has their own "playbook" on voter fraud.  They love it and use it for their own gain.  Legal voters want their votes to actually count.  Because they do not in the political filth and grime of the corrupted Democrat controlled city of Bridgeport, CT, and its convicted Mayor.  And they do not count either in the omnipotent one-party ruled Democrat Party state of Connecticut, wherever these happenings occur. 

The fraud is in full view of our country to see and be disgusted by on a daily basis. And other than a blessed few, most connected to the fray accept all of this as standard operating procedure.

God help us all.

Who Is Running Connecticut Anyways? I Want To Know

 I wonder who is running Connecticut?  This seems to be a question that most people can not answer easily today here in our state.  We see that there is no longer a State Legislature that conducts business for the voters who elected them, power has been ceded to Ned Lamont via a legally questionable Executive Order manifesto of a severe socialistic one man rule in the name of health concerns.  Our election in a few weeks will provide little if anything in getting our Legislative body back to work.  We also see very little information regarding how and when our lives will become normal again with not having to wear a germ bearing mask and all activities including schools and churches being opened in a normal fashion by our Public Health Department.  Will actual news be reported again in our biased media soon not just how many or how few cases of Covid-19 we have as a state?  I personally believe Connecticut is being run by a constant fear that is being dished out daily by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and our surrogate legislature entity know as Boston Consulting Group with their no bid state contracts hand delivered to them by Ned Lamont and company.  

Connecticut has massive economic problems that continue to be avoided and not discussed in any way shape or form at all costs by Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party in our upcoming election.  I get little feeling of any type of enthusiasm for this campaign by either party with the exception of several conservative Republican candidates such as State Senator Rob Sampson, candidate for State Senator Len Suzio and State Representative Craig Fishbein and a few others.  The Connecticut Democrat Party candidates are silent about the draconian shut down of the states economy, the $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities the state has, excessively high taxes and a net migration out of the state (contrary to the propaganda they are spreading about people wanting to move here).  A healthy economy fuels a healthy state.  It seems like the only thing that matters in our state is Democrat Party political nepotism, the Lamont's Hedge Fund profits and state employee labor unions for their own self economic enrichment.  The hell with Connecticut Taxpayers, their businesses, homes and jobs. 

So who is really running Connecticut?  I want to know.  As a Taxpayer I don't buy the constant fear of all things relating to Covid-19 such as why walking one way in a store is going to prevent its spread or the snappy ad campaigns that we know see on billboards (financed with Connecticut Taxpayers monies).  I also would like to know what is the master plan to get back to normal in the state?  Does it exist?  Are we waiting for the Boston Consulting Group plan to be issued and therefore be followed to the letter?  Maybe when the next raises go into effect from a SEBAC agreement?  What scraps are going to be thrown to Connecticut Taxpayers by the Connecticut Democrat Party to keep them and their businesses on life support and at bay from any criticism from their actions and non actions during this crisis?  This is democracy?  This is "the Constitution State" where the State Constitution is thrown out and declared null and void?  Why is this happening as more people die of other health related issues and problems rather than from Covid-19?  I do not understand why our freedoms have been disposed of like this with no questions being asked or allowed except by a brave few?

Once again this is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on at all levels of government in November.  Tell me again why you want to vote for them?  Also tell me who is running Connecticut anyways?  I want to know.

Connecticut Ranked In The Bottom Five Once Again

 The August 31, 2020 issue of Barron's had an article titled "The $1 Trillion Dollar Hole"  (https://www.barrons.com/articles/cities-and-states-are-facing-horrific-budget-holes-there-will-be-more-trouble-ahead-51598638702).  The article discusses a growing issue in our country of our fifty states ability to use and get credit due to large budget deficits and loss revenues.  Creditworthiness as defined by Investopedia (www.investopedia.com) is "Creditworthiness is how a lender determines that you will default on your debt obligations, or how worthy you are to receive new credit."  The article is very interesting when one reads how all the state's rank.  Connecticut is ranked 45th out of 50 states (Bottom five) having the distinction of the highest overall debt burden on a per capita and per GDP (Gross Domestic Product) basis.  This ranking should not come as a shock to Connecticut Taxpayers as we see how economically inept and irrational our state government operates day in and day out.  The Connecticut Democrat Party's political patronage, profits and partisanship are the economic rule with the heck with any concerns about debt.

As one can imagine and an area I have talked about in the past is how far in debt Connecticut is in 2020.  Connecticut has $145 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  To look at this debt in perspective it would take seven years of no state spending on anything whatsoever to pay it off.  This means that the state would have no more employees, no programs, nothing at all for seven years to pay it off.  If Connecticut actually had a plan to address this debt we would have seen major cuts in state spending and or a dedicated fixed amount to retire debt and not incur any new debt.  This has never happened for Connecticut in the past 30 years since the State Income Tax has taken effect.  Instead state spending and debt has skyrocketed into unmanageable and uncontrollable economic turmoil for both state businesses and taxpayers.  Connecticut has turned into a sinkhole state without enough assets to pay off its debts meaning that if Connecticut liquidated all of its assets that have value it still could not pay off its debt.  Thus it would have to somehow go bankrupt to pay off its bills.  This has to be done on a business or personal level when bankruptcy occurs.  Currently roughly 15% of the state budget just goes to debt service (interest) never mind trying to actually paying off any debt.  The bulk of the state budget goes to salaries, benefits, pensions and interest on the debt.  Little if any money is left to actually run Connecticut in any coherent economic form.

Can Connecticut survive the future with these economic issues now compounded by a rogue consulting group being the policy maker in the state rather than the State elected Legislature and a massive 22% unemployment rate?  Why should any incumbent State Senator or State Representative running for re election in November be elected again given these enormous short and long term economic problems (with the exception of a brave few conservative Republicans such as State Senator Rob Sampson)?  In my economic opinion Connecticut is on the verge of bankruptcy and that should be the record the Connecticut Democrat Party runs on in November.  They have helped to bankrupt the state for their personal gain.  Why?  Why is this not questioned daily except by the few who dare to speak out against this economic debacle?  Real statistics do not lie.  Connecticut needs real elected leadership rather than a de facto government ruled by a consulting group and irrational executive orders.  And it needs a plan to cut spending, debt and economically unsustainable pensions.  Being ranked 45th out of 50 states for creditworthiness is sickening to me and many others.  Enough is enough.

The Brutal Reopening Of Connecticut Small Businesses on May 20, 2020

May 20, 2020.
That is the official day that has been decreed by Executive Order by our ruler Ned Lamont and his secret non public/non transparent consulting group and committee to start a four part process to reopen Connecticut.  A day that could live in the history of Connecticut as to one of the most economically damaging days to the remaining small businesses that will reopen.  We are also looking three more draconian steps on three possible dates in the future that will possibly reopen most of the rest of state. 
In trying to understand and comprehend the series of decrees, new laws and rules that govern business here in the state, one can see that large businesses will have a much easier time to reopen than small businesses.  Small businesses at this time when they least can afford it will be incurring much higher costs of operations to try to do business next week.
A realistic example is the plight of small restaurants in the state.  They are now allowed to serve a limited number of customers in outdoor seating next Wednesday.  How is this defined?  Since zoning laws and regulations differs from town to city depending on where you are located, some restaurants will have greater difficulty in setting up outdoor seating than others.  Looking at several local restaurants here in Wallingford they will have limited outdoor seating due to their location.  How is the dining experience enjoyable if you have to eat outside on a cold evening?  How is the dining experience enjoyable if you are not allowed to talk to people at the restaurant that you wish to talk to? How is the dining experience enjoyable if you must wear masks and only take them off when you are eating?  Obviously if you healthy enough to want to eat at a restaurant the logic behind the masks becomes irrational.  Also I fail to see how restaurants will be profitable at this time offering what amounts to in some cases operating at 5% capacity.  Constant cleaning of all areas at these outdoor venues will also supposedly lead to a safe dining experience.  I wonder who foots the bill for all these new cleaning procedures, cleaning materials, cleaning wipes (that can not be found anywhere), etc?  I can see many small restaurants closing for good over the next few weeks.  Our government does not understand the economics of the restaurant industry in this state.  Take out and to go meals are limited in profitability and in demand.
The new push for fool proof temperature checking is also another illogical and irrational expense for small businesses.  Are the thousands of these new and improved thermometers being distributed fool proof?  Will they work in conjunction with the new 5G secret technology?  What happens if someone traditionally has a low temperature below 98.6? What happens if someone traditionally has a high temperature above 100.4?  Who has decided these measures since the Connecticut Public Health Commissioner was fired and a "new" individual has been selected?  Is Ned Lamont now an expert of a person's temperature?
We have seen over the past sixty days a constant changing of the rules in doing business in the state.  We see that Connecticut deems large box chains, package stores, and medical marijuana stores essential to the state economy.  Small businesses were not deemed essential since March 17, 2020.  The economic logic to this continues to be irrational.
The non transparent Reopen Connecticut Advisory Committee along with a no bid $2 million dollar contract to the Democrat Party friendly Boston Consulting Group are now making all the decisions to reopen the state on their terms with little to no input from Connecticut Taxpayers.  The excessive demands and costs that they are placing on the remaining small Connecticut businesses who are fighting for their economic survival is sickening.   How will they survive?  Our state media who completely backs Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party refuse any investigative reporting on what has been massive violations of our state constitution.  Where is our State Senate and House of Representatives who supposedly "represent" us with an occasional email or press release telling us of yet even new laws that we must live by?  The have been silent and non existent with the exception of Republican State Senator Rob Sampson and Republican State Representative Craig Fishbein. They have abandoned with ease their constitutional responsibility to represent us in Connecticut.
A brutal state economy with high taxes and regulations coupled with overreaching reopening laws has sealed the fate of Connecticut's small businesses.  Is there absolutely no mercy on small businesses in Connecticut?  Why did this happen?  Why?
