At What Point?

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

 

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

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.

 

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.

Representation of Connecticut in 2026- The Entire Place has Gone Bananas

 What is a representative democracy type of government? It is defined as; a government in which the power is exercised by the people through their elected representatives : a form of government in which the people elect representatives to make decisions, policies, laws, etc.

Many Connecticut Taxpayers and legal voters are asking this election year; who does Connecticut State Government represent? Is it those individuals who make all the decisions for everyone in the state whether it is a good or bad decision? Is it those legislators who somehow pass laws for everyone in the state whether a majority of voters are against the bill? Has Connecticut's state government become so nontransparent that both taxpayers and voters have no say in the government that they pay for? Are Connecticut state elections being carried out in a legal manner with no voter fraud taking place?  How does the legal voter have their power exercised by their elected representatives when those same representatives are completely out-of-touch with what is going on their districts?

Moreover, are there any people out there, anywhere in the universe of all people either elected or running that place your and my best interests at heart?

A very unpopular, but incredibly truthful premise is that Connecticut has suffered a great degradation ever since the onset of the Covid period in 2019. In addition to lockdowns and the destruction of what was left of the Connecticut economy, we saw unbridled fraud, election fraud, concealment, self-dealing, covert government operations and massive and redundant governmental hiring, all of which continue without aggressive political pushback, to this day. We also saw our governor, along with his spouse, attempt to “put one over” on the populace with several family equity investments  placed “in service” to the state (most notably Sema4 for Covid-19 testing), and neither situation was disclosed at the outset. We see a current situation of a similar Lamont-connected investment (Yuma Asset Management) being shrouded in the boiler-room operation of “Connecticut Innovations” (“CI”), and CI refuses to disclose any information related to it. We see a draconian and hostile vaccine mandate coming out of Hartford through a Department of Public Health led by individuals of highly suspect integrity, and no one operating in the Great Connecticut Administrative State or the Democrat Party gives one care to the will of the people rejecting this draconian and hostile mandate. And, in an election season where it would be expected that the state Republican Party and candidates would be swarming over these issues, there is an almost tacit acceptance of them with at least two of the three major gubernatorial candidates affirming the status-quo, with one stating that higher compensation be given to state employees.

But why is this so? Should not government and elected officials be representing people, and not the other way around? There are an enormous number of examples currently in Connecticut that show the complete disconnect that elected state officials, state representatives, state senators, and candidates have with those constituents they supposedly represent. Further, the citizen that speaks out against these abuses is usually ostracized by the system, the parties, or the “legitimate media” by not aligning with the problem as opposed to the solution.

The problem is much deeper than anyone in politics wishes for you to believe. For example, many people are entirely unaware as to the powerful provisions of the OBBBA of 2025 that can cause Connecticut’s economy to jumpstart in addition to other systems that could eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, which is a way of life in Connecticut. These same people are constantly told by government on both sides of the aisle that there is no solution other than the rotten procedures of state government, which in fact is the problem and the cancer leading the state to ruin ever since the enactment of the income tax in 1991. Connecticut has serious issues with regards to all of these issues which I have written about for several decades.  In my opinion, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did a terrific job of breaking this situation down for us on his April 9, 2026, THIRTY WITH TONY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9ohfs0C00&t=1080s

But regardless of what I, or Tony, or others of sincere and similar mindset may write or broadcast, the unification (if not Uni-party) of the Connecticut establishment continually persist in the bad practices of the past that somehow benefit itself at the exclusion of all others not politically connected.

It is inarguable that Connecticut's representative democracy resembles more of a third world nation's banana republic and/or a socialistic based dictatorship rather than a representative democracy for the good of the people. Connecticut borders on a lunatic fringe of a deep hatred of all things President Trump right across political parties while Democrats chronically blame the Republican Party for all the state ills that the Democrat Party and its enablers have nurtured since 1990. Lies are truth and truth are lies in Connecticut. It really is the modern-day version of the Book of Timothy in the Bible, where the truth is rejected for fables. But even the worst fable on many a day is better than the best day in Connecticut government.

For example: The establishment in Connecticut imperiously denies there is such a thing as widespread voter fraud. To that, we must look at the history of Democrat Party voter fraud in Bridgeport. The same Bridgeport that continues to reelect convicted felon Democrat Joe Ganim as their Mayor. To jog voters memories Ganim quit the mayor’s office in 2003 when he was found stealing from the city. he was Mayor from 1991 to 2003, then made a comeback in 2015 after a seven-year stint in prison and continues to rule Bridgeport with an iron hand helping lead it to economic ruin in 2026. For many years going back to the Mandanici era of copying names off of tombstones there have voter fraud abuses in Bridgeport with little resolution, including the extension of voting hours in state elections. And one has to ask how many higher office elections of Democrats were decided by mysterious ballots magically appearing as the polls closed. And one has to ask how many of these magic elections were presided over and won in the ninth inning by longtime operative Wanda Geter-Pataky and her minions? And one has to ask why said Wanda Geter-Pataky continually remains out of jail, and who would be implicated if she confessed?  The “legitimate media” never asks those questions, but you and I ask them constantly. Regardless, no answers are forthcoming.

Another unanswered question is why Connecticut will not release its voters' records to the federal government? What are they hiding? Why did former Secretary of State Denise Merrill mysteriously retire from a job that she loved in favor of the non-communicative and non-responsive Stephanie Thomas? Why is there so many foul things happening in one place with no resolutions forthcoming?

But again, what does Connecticut State Government represent? Clearly, not you. Looking at the Governor and his dealings, he represents all that is bad in our political system. One can safely state this as the corruption does get answered about  "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 other deals working through “quasi-public” organizations such as Lamont-connected (and covert) “Connecticut Innovations”. But this has been asked for several years and the silence is deafening from the non-transparent Lamont administration of profits. And no Republican candidate for his office ever raises these issues, which have all been documented since Tony De Angelo broke the stories of Sema4 and Digital Currency Group several years back, (inter-alia)  What is being hidden, and why? Who, is protecting whom?

 But again, who or what does Connecticut State Government represent? Corruption is still being investigated and no results are forthcoming with “Human Resources Agency of New Britain" where Democrat State Senator Rick Lopes of the 6th District received a great deal of Taxpayers monies for supposed services rendered. Or how about Democrat State Senator Doug McCrory and the misuse of $750,000 in funds for the now bankrupt "Blue Hills Civic Association" on top of untold millions connected to him that have disappeared before? Or, is there any political curiosity about the free cash and 2% “sweetheart” loans given away by both the failed and should-be-abolished Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and the Connecticut Community Fund 2030? How about the billions given to the never-ending array of Connecticut Taxpayer funded "nonprofits" that unfortunately show little results in making Connecticut a better place to live by eliminating the massive amount of illegal drug use/trafficking, and or the many who are starving in the state and homeless? Or is that an affordability question to make legal drugs more affordable so that Connecticut can get more tax revenue and the state can seize land for their cronies for "affordable" housing? Does anyone care that you are paying for all of this? If so, who defends your right to protect your wallet and why do we not see cries for more Federal investigations?

Thus, we really have no clue who Connecticut's State Government represents. We see it really is not the working taxpayers of the state but an array of the political connected, the political czars, the politically affluent, The Great Connecticut Administrative State that both sides of the aisle continually fawn over, and the Democrat Party all rolled into one dictating what you can and cannot have. It is a Socialists paradise. And you, the taxpayer, be damned for questioning any of it.

Maybe, just maybe answers to the questions I presented above could become the focus of this year's state election? Even better, perhaps you can ask these questions directly to candidates at Town Halls and online meetings. Because for certain, neither anyone in the political system, administrative state, or the “legitimate media”, will ever do so.

 

Rip-Offs. They’re Not Just Committed By Criminals, Anymore.

 Why can't people stop ripping off our government at all levels? Because it is too easy. Why can't government at all levels stop ripping people off? Because it is too easy. And this is one of the biggest issues in our country and in many states in 2025 today. It has been a problem for many years, and it is becoming worse.

One can estimate that a great deal of our federal deficit of $38 trillion dollars may be from fraudulent spending. A small contribution in this category is the throwing of $79 billion dollars in Taxpayers monies out the window was echoed by Republican Iowa Senator Joni Ernst on Wednesday when she stated.; "$79 billion in COVID fraud could have been prevented if four basic questions were asked. Is the Social Security Number valid, does the number match the name, does the birthday match, and is the individual ALIVE?"  (https://x.comSenJoniErnststatus/1998850871757602839ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet ). Obviously, those four questions were too difficult for the dullard bureaucrats who were working on this program to be bothered with. Hey what's another $79 billion dollars of Taxpayers monies anyways? When is my next (vacation, holiday, mental health, or emotional support) day?

Why is this not front-page news?

Most recently, we find that fraud is rampant in Minnesota, where the astounded "deer in the headlights” incompetent Democrat Governor Tim Walz was totally unaware of the massive rip off of Taxpayers by various Somalian groups and individuals. Over $1 billion dollars in fraud has taken place in Minnesota. Examples include: "A group called “Feeding Our Future” spearheaded the theft of $250 million in federal school food aid administered by the state Department of Education. More than 50 people have pleaded guilty to crimes related to receiving government payments for meals not delivered to the claimed groups of children. “...”A new fraud scandal is now rocking Minnesota. Last week, Acting US Attorney Joseph Thompson charged eight people with stealing millions of dollars from a Medicaid program called Housing Stabilization Services. The defendants are alleged to have filed a raft of bogus program claims for clients with disabilities and then pocketed the benefits. This is just the “first wave of charges in a massive fraud in Minnesota’s housing stabilization program,” said Thompson. The Minnesota housing program was originally supposed to cost $2.5 million a year, but the annual cost soared to $104 million by 2024, mainly due to fraud." (https://www.cato.org/blog/minnesota-fraud-illustrates-federal-aid-failure) 

Apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg there. Why was this allowed? Are there no safeguards in place to prevent this type of fraud?

How about Maine's Medicare fraud with “Gateway Community Services LLC,” which was founded by Abdullahi Ali. Abdullahi Ali was born in Somalia and was recently seeking the the presidency of Jubaland, a region of Somalia bordering Kenya. Whatever “Gateway Community Services LLC” does, it ostensibly does larceny at a very high level. The rip off from this program is estimated to be over $28 million dollars. (https://nypost.com/2025/12/10/us-news/maines-medicaid-program-bilked-out-of-millions-of-dollars-in-somali-fraud-whistleblower-claims/ ).

With so much nonprofit fraud nationwide it has almost taken on a casual connotation to the point where it does not register as a big deal by government and state-run media. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code was specifically written by Congress to allow resources to flow to those in need. But with the larcenous nature of those at the helm of many state-connected nonprofit organizations, charity goes only as far as one’s pocket or purse. 

And nationwide rip-offs are not limited to nonprofits alone. For example. we know in Connecticut massive Democrat Party voter fraud has taken place in Bridgeport for decades. Most recall the infamous Bridgeport State Senator Ernie Newton ballot fraud case. But it goes back much longer than that. In Bridgeport, voter fraud goes back to Mayor John Mandanici’s people submitting ballots for dead people in the 1970s. Look at what happened with the 2023 Bridgeport Democrat Mayoral Primary, and again in 2025 with the stuffed absentee ballot fraud that took place by “The Stuffer” Wanda Geter-Pataky, who in 2023 was charged with "42 counts of possession of ballots and envelopes restricted, two counts of fraudulent voting, 22 counts of misrepresenting eligibility requirements for voting by absentee ballot,17 counts of being present when an absentee ballot applicant executes an absentee ballot, and nine counts of conspiracy to commit possession of ballots and envelopes restricted". (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/5-charged-in-bridgeport-absentee-ballot-fraud-to-be-arraigned/ ). This case finally came to trial in March of this year. Curiously, mum is the word on “Wanda the Stuffer.” What did Wanda know? What did Wanda do? For whom? How many losses were miraculously spooled into wins? What if Wanda sings? What about fraud in the election of 2025? (Possibly someday we will find out).

But questions, fraud, concealment, and obfuscation are the Gold Standard parameters of Connecticut governance. Kindly note that Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has successfully avoided any type of transparency nor accountability with his involvement with numerous shady dealings for six years, nor has he been pressured by anyone in the Legislature with respect to the same. Years later, Connecticut Taxpayers  do not have any answers with the 2020 Covid-19 debacle and the suspect business in the secret REOPEN-CT Committee meeting in the super-secret ADVANCE CT nonprofit that is fully exempt from all Freedom of Information and state transparency laws by that very same Legislature. Years later, we still do not have any answers to Ned Lamont's family hedge fund (Oak HC/FT Partners), investments in Rapyd, a global Fintech-as-a-service provider, and Unqork, both having documented common-investment ties to "Infosys", that same Infosys that received Connecticut taxpayers monies. We have no disclosures as to what happened in the Lamont-Infosys trip to India in February of 2025 completed under that secret cloak of that same ADVANCE CT. Nor are any answers forthcoming from associated companies relating to the Covid-19 crisis that include "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Infomatics", “Centrellis”. "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD" to name several. Nor are there ever any answers to the questions concerning the Lamont-related Cayman Island partnerships, large Cayman Islands deals such as the "Horesebarn Hill Investment Fund" hiding in the UCONN Foundation,  and other funny-money  deals working through “quasi-public” organizations such as the now-clearly Lamont-connected (and covert) “Connecticut Innovations”.  There is a massive nonprofit funding  scandal involving alleged malfeasance between Democrat State Senator Douglas McCrory and the malignant and out-of-control Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development ("DECD") This situation is being investigated by a Federal Grand Jury as the state is incapable of policing himself and the entire Legislature refuses to institute meaningful and useful controls and standards for this money throwing agency.  My colleague Tony De Angelo has discussed these ties and issues numerous times over the years, and silence is the result of both elected officials and the state-run media.

The question every Taxpayer must ask is when are we going to be paid back for all these rip-offs? When will taxpayers be allowed access to the books and records of these organizations that these miscreant “leaders” are stealing from? When will we hear one (read that as ONE) legislator of gubernatorial candidate in Connecticut champion the cause of a no-holds-barred Citizen DOGE and meaningful and punitive fiscal controls and penalties for these state-funded nonprofits? Or should Taxpayers just shut up, dig in deeper, and work longer hours to pay more taxes so that these frauds can continue unabated and the leaders and politicians get off scot-free and spend more taxpayer money? Why is justice so slow in its efforts to both find and prosecute these individuals who steal from our government? And why has Connecticut allowed the rampant voter fraud to continue in Bridgeport, Connecticut? Where has been any oversight into the numerous schemes of Ned Lamont and family profiting from the Connecticut Taxpayers’ backs?

Why has this been allowed? Why are legislators and candidates silent about all of this? 

Fraud is embedded in our political system. It is nurtured and encouraged by everyone and anyone in and out of government. It seems to be a big game of theft and fraud and rape of the Taxpayers with no consequences legal or otherwise.And it needs to stop now-today-as soon as someone with ethics stands up in government and ends it once and for all. 

Connecticut, and many other states, cry out for just that special someone.

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.
