Reimagining Patriotism- The Embracing of Illegal Immigration

Over 7,000,000 immigrants have illegally come into the United States since the impaired and dysfunctional Democrat President Joe Biden has taken office. The rationale for this egregious disaster is unknown as to why the President wants open borders. Our country has been forced to take in this substantial number of illegal immigrants, and the consequences have been severe. In addition, there has been no comment from the Biden Administration regarding approximately 300,000 unaccompanied children that have been let in at the border and then reportedly placed with American sponsors. It is important to note that many of said children come to the United States through cartels, human smugglers, and coyotes. It is a well-known disregarded fact by the Biden Administration that parents will pay these perpetually evil actors a great deal of money to bring their children to our country. Unfortunately, many of these children unfortunately have been "lost" by our administratively incompetent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Who were the children's sponsors? Were the sponsors investigated by the Department of Health and Human Services? Are the children now being abused, sold into sex trafficking, working in slave labor conditions, being held hostage, or dead? Why is the Biden Administration hiding this information? This Administration created the issue they need to address it. Ostensibly, it apparently is perfectly acceptable to abuse innocent children with the blessings of the Pathetic and Corrupt Biden Administration.
Where do over 7,000,000 immigrants that have come into the United States illegally live? As we can see in wholesome, well run, and Democrat-led sanctuary cities, illegals live anywhere they can possibly fit. Illegal migrants can be housed with American Taxpayers monies in tent cities, in motels and hotels, in public schools, and in community centers in poorer neighborhoods driving out peoples of color. But cracking under the weight of their own stupidity these same wholesome, well run, caring and Democrat led sanctuary cities are now asking for private citizens in the suburbs to sponsor and house illegal immigrants and families as their social act of patriotism. Further, King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable’s Connecticut is proud to host four sanctuary cities; New Haven, Hartford, New London and Windam. It is unknown how many of the current 7,000,000 immigrants can be found in these four cities and or throughout Connecticut. Apparently, there are over 113,000 undocumented immigrants in the state currently (if not more). How many more can the state hold? One wonders about the recent Connecticut uptick in crime along with the non-stop illegal drug crisis that is crippling the country and parts of Connecticut. It is interesting to point out this fact: "Between October 2022 and April 2023, Customs and Border Protection seized more than 17,000 lbs. of fentanyl at the southern border. In fact, from March of 2022 to March of 2023, CBP seized enough fentanyl to kill every single American 14 times over." (https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/biden-border-crisis). Fentanyl overdoses are the norm in 2024, with silence again from the Pathetic and Corrupt Biden Administration along with the complicit and inept Connecticut political establishment.
Of course, bad policy begins with the United States Congress. In this connection, the entire Connecticut Democrat Congressional delegation approves of over 7,000,000 immigrants that have come into the United States illegally. Many may wonder how many illegals are being housed by United States Senators Blumenthal and Murphy? Many may wonder how many illegals are being housed by United States Representatives DeLauro, Hayes, Himes, Larson and Courtney? Their silence is deafening through this crisis that the Pathetic and Corrupt Biden Administration has created. Maybe Democrat Senator Murphy would not be as lonely as he is apparently if he would just house some of the illegal migrants in his home. Or maybe Democrat Representative DeLauro could be a real role model and house some illegals in her mansion sized New Haven Sanctuary city home. I submit to the reader that these requests to our Connecticut Congressional delegation are apropos given their support and endorsement of their policies of illegal immigration.
Connecticut in a new legislative session and the illegal immigration crisis I am sure will be talked about and debated at length by the controlling state liberal Democrat Party. Meanwhile, the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution referencing power to the state should be sending fear and chills to every poor taxpaying resident of the State of Connecticut. Given the delusional and irrational nature of the Legislature, will decisions be made by Democrat and Democrat-Lite legislators to encourage (or compel) homeowners to house illegals in their homes under a self-perpetuated “Public Health Emergency?” Of course, more money is needed to house, feed, educate, and give medical care to these people. And after all, they have to live somewhere!
Maybe Republicans in the Connecticut Legislature could finally exhibit some much-needed courage against this onslaught and start calling out the Democrats for the nightmare they have created with the over 7,000,000 immigrants that have come into the United States illegally. Even so, I submit that every elected official of whatever persuasion should be asked repeatedly if he or she supports this new form of Patriotism in the form of voluntary or compulsory housing of illegals. For, what an absolute nightmare legal Americans must face daily with this Democrat Party manufactured crisis. And to add insult to injury what is the actual cost to American Taxpayers with this Democrat Party manufactured crisis? How many billions of dollars must be wasted?
Enough of this woke madness. Enough of illegal immigration. Enough of this garbage rhetoric being force fed to the American public by an incoherent Democrat Party and its enablers. Enough of the incoherent gibberish of failed socialism that the American public is supposed to embrace because of the power grab that the Democrat Party wants to make to take over our country and make it a totalitarian state. Legal immigration worked at one time in our country. But to the current insane and delusional people who rule the Democrat Party, anything legal should be shunned for their failed new country Utopia. It is time for this insanity to stop now or our country will not be a country anymore.

Ned Lamont's Democrat Led Connecticut Loves Vices Like Legalized Marijuana

 

I really believe Ned Lamont's Democrat-led Connecticut loves vices.  I know in actuality a majority of legal state taxpayers and citizens deplore them. But with the state-run media in step with the Lamont-led Connecticut Democrat Party, vice and corruption is now an accepted way of life and doing business in once was known as the "Constitution State".  With the new legalized marijuana taxed sales, all will be well with both state finances and for addiction to drugs in general. 

Legal marijuana sales is the new quick fix to solving Connecticut's now 34th year of economic decline and decay just like the state income tax was, the legalization of casino gambling was, the extension of lottery sales 24/7/365 was, the massive taxes on cigarettes were, and that online gambling was and many other nuisance taxes/fees were.  Vice taxes are essential to a state as small as Connecticut to help them continue to spend over $21 billion dollars a year while maintaining a mere $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities. 

The new euphoric legal marijuana tax is a mere 6.35% state sales tax, a 3% municipal tax, and about 10-15% state cannabis tax based on THC content.  The THC content is a complex formula that is computed at 0.625 cents per milligram of total THC for cannabis plant material, 2.75 cents per milligram of total THC for cannabis edible products and 0.9 cents per milligram of total THC for cannabis, other than cannabis plant material or cannabis edible products (whatever this gibberish means).  I really wonder how these guidelines will be enforced as they make little economic sense to me and I am sure is as confusing as possible for the "legal" sellers.  For Connecticut Taxpayers none of this money will going to any type of debt relief and or lower taxes. 

For fiscal years 2022 to 2023, 100% of the taxes will go to the "Cannabis Regulatory and Investment Account".  This account will then pay the new state legalized marijuana bureaucracy to help pay costs that the involved state agencies are spending for the implementation of the new law.  I wonder what happens if there is not enough money to cover these new costs?  However, things improve in fiscal years 2024 to 2026 as a whopping 15% of the tax goes to the bottomless pit slush fund of state government known as the "General Fund", while 60% goes to the "Social Equity and Innovation Fund", a fund that is a favorite of Ned Lamont and his political hierarchy giving  cash for business capital, technical assistance for business start-ups and operations, workforce education, and community investment, etc. of a predetermined class of people, and lastly 25% goes to the "Prevention and Recovery Services Fund" to help substance abuse programs deal with future societal wreckage as apparently legalized marijuana will help to create new drug abuse and abusers for the future.  Diminishing monies go into the General Fund until 2029 when then, it receives zero tax revenue while the bulk of tax monies reverts to this "Social Equity and Innovation Fund".  But Connecticut even does "wrong" worse than any other state, let alone doing "right!" in comparison to surrounding states that have started recreational marijuana sales, Connecticut has the highest taxes in the area. (https://portal.ct.gov/cannabis/Knowledge-Base/Categories/Business-Information/Retail-Sales).

Thus from an economic view I really do not see how the negative social and medical effects will not outweigh the hypothetical economic benefits for these sales/taxes.  Taxes being collected from legalizing marijuana sales apparently are going into secretive and hidden sources that will once again pick winners and losers in the state economy in the usual Connecticut/Lamont way that we have all come to know. If legalized marijuana sales are so great for the state economy and public welfare, why is money being funneled into substance abuse programs?  Isn't it logical to think that in state that already has a massive illegal drug problem, how does legalizing this drug not help to create a new legalized drug problem and far worse parallel consequences?  Connecticut Taxpayers once again get the short end of the stick with legalized marijuana sales. 

It is pathetic to see the downward social, economic and spiritual trajectory for Connecticut with these new Utopian legalized marijuana drug sales taking place. I really wonder how many elected officials of any party actually read the law and understood the taxing payments, tax policies and where the tax revenue actually goes when they voted on the bill.  But in a state where crime reigns supreme, political corruption and nepotism is a way of life, and an incomprehensible, massive and not sustainable state debt and unfunded liabilities crisis rolls on daily with some of the highest taxes in the country and a pitifully decaying infrastructure, why would Connecticut Taxpayers expect anything different?  Of course not, as an endless, omnipotent, terminally inept, and ruthless one party rule of Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrats continues unchecked while their Socialistic makeover of the once proud and independent "Constitution State"  keeps rolling on.  Enough is enough.

0.9 cents per milligram of total THC for cannabis, other than cannabis plant material or cannabis edible products.

Swick Speak's 2022 Christmas List For America

It is the Christmas season.  And it is time for the Swick Speak Christmas list.  A list of gifts that I hope America gets this year.  It is a tough list, as the majority of Americans dislike the direction that America has taken since a failing, feeble and incoherent Democrat President Joe Biden and his incompetent administration took over in 2021.  And Joe Biden will rank as one of the bottom five worse Presidents that our country has ever had once he is mercifully gone from office.

Here we go:

1. Americans want a closed and secure border around their country.  They do not want a free flow of illegal immigrants coming into their country, contrary to what the Democrat Party wants to see.  They do not want drug cartels, murderers, human traffickers, and terrorists coming into our country by the millions.  They want a closed border with legal limited immigration.

2. Americans want the energy independence that they had under President Trump.  They want all of the Keystone pipelines to be opened and flowing providing energy to our country at reasonable prices.  They do not want American dollars to be flowing to OPEC countries and the regime of Venezuela to support these countries and increasing our bloated balance of trade deficits.  They do not want to have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve drained to buy votes for the Democrat Party but to be used in a real emergency.  They want a realistic time frame to see if and when green energy becomes economically viable and functional for the country.  They want stable electric prices.  They want lower heating oil prices and a dependable supply of heating oil to heat their homes.  They want American energy sources to be used and supplied to our country.

3. Americans want an end to the Democrat induced runaway inflation of the past two years.  They want an end to the endless supply chain crisis that makes our store shelves look like 1970's Russia.  They want an end to the endless spending of Taxpayer dollars by all levels of government to pay people not to work and not to be productive in our economy.  They want price stability and to be able choose and buy American products in their stores.  They want solutions to the nation's debt crisis that our elected officials have created by their reckless spending on failed programs and the continual propping up of political hacks and serial incompetents at all levels of government.

4. Americans want an end to unchecked crime, theft and murders in our country.  They want a functioning set of laws that are adhered to and enforced for everyone.  They do not want laws that no longer prosecute thieves for only stealing $1,000 or less in products from stores.  They want private property rights to be restored and laws that allow for private property rights to be enforced.  They do not want their cars to be stolen in broad daylight when pumping gas.  They want a legal system that prosecutes criminals and not make victims of crime be treated as the criminal.  Americans want an end to the current deluded bleeding heart liberalism of making these transgressions be accepted as normal and right.  

5. Americans want a public education system that once again teaches our youth real subject matter that will provide the skills essential to them to earn a living in the future.  They reject the complete brainwashing that is currently going on in the classroom with a failed, woke, and incomprehensible curriculum of gender identity, sex changes at an early age, incoherent life styles and a rejection of parental guidance and love in their lives.  Parents are responsible for their children, and not a public education system full of deceptions, distortions, and lies.  They want educators to teach not campaign nor indoctrinate.

6. Americans want an end to the corruption of Federal, State and Local governments.  Americans want an end to being slaves to government at all levels by the waste and misuse of Taxpayer's hard earned monies.  They no longer want to pay for Taxpayer funded programs that secretly channel money to political allies, political donors, and family friends.  They want honesty, transparency, and truth to be restored to a government that they are paying for.  They want the United States Constitution to be adhered to and followed not rewritten to the liking of the politically-connected few.

 I know America is asking a great deal this Christmas.  But isn't what is being asked for is what America once was and stood for?  How did America turn into this shell of itself that millions of Americans died for in wars since 1776?  And why must the majority of Americans accept this debris, filth and muck being force fed to them on a daily basis by a total biased and state run media?  Enough is enough.  It is time for real Americans to take back our country this Christmas season from this invasion of wrongs that are being sold as rights that are damaging our country's foundations of liberty and freedom.  Americans have had enough of this failed political experiment.  Americans see that it is truly 1776 all over again as the fight for personal freedoms and real democracy begins anew in 2023.

The Democrat Party Crime Crisis

 Bad is good.  Good is bad.  Make America worse not better.  Make America hurt.  Contrary to glowing Democrat Party propaganda America, especially in Democrat-led states, has a crime crisis of horrific proportions.  Cities such as Chicago, Portland, Oregon, New York City, Philadelphia, and Ned Lamont's Hartford, Connecticut to name a few, are epicenters of unchecked crime and murders.  Enormous amounts of economic and taxpayer's resources are spent daily in these same Democrat cities for barely functioning and understaffed police departments who must daily battle a war against career criminals who laugh at a failed judicial system and District Attorneys who shut their eyes against the malefactors and their victims.  Why has this happened, and why is it continuing are valid questions that get ignored when asked.  

One element that our society and economy has is based on is private property rights.  Private property rights are the basis for many legal systems as well as capitalism.  We, as members of our society have a legal right to ownership of our property.  For example when we buy a home or condo, we obtain a legal ownership of the property that can not be taken away from us.  The same can be applied when owning a car or truck, we own the car or truck.  The home, condo, car or truck is not owned collectively by everyone in society.  I cannot claim ownership of your vehicle nor can you claim ownership to my vehicle.  If we once again see crime as a rape of private property rights (as it truly is) in our society, and if our legal system could start to once again enforce the legality of private property rights, then crime and criminals would decrease in our country.  As it stands today with bonds not being required for criminals who are caught, an epidemic of juvenile delinquency especially with stolen vehicles and repeat offenders constantly being returned to the street, crime will never subside.  Why is our private property rights being violated in this manner by criminals with the full blessings of the Democrat Party?  What gives a criminal the right to my personal property?  What gives a criminal the right to loot, pillage and steal from privately owned businesses?  I am waiting for an answer from any elected Democrat official to rationally explain to me and many others how this "cures" crime and theft in our society?  Because it does not, and is beyond idiotic to make claim to the contrary.

Murder continues to go unchecked in our society.  Due to the horrific open border policy of the incoherent Democrat Biden Administration, America has become much less safe.  We now have drug cartels and gangs running free in many parts of our country poisoning our youth and others with their illegal drugs.  They cause violent crimes and murders on a daily basis with turf wars for the illegals drugs they brazenly sell.  Why has the Democrat Party allowed this to happen?  Why do these illegal drug cartels exist in our country especially when our legal system is supposed to protect our health and well being?  Again, why can't our legal system enforce laws any more especially at the border and especially in Democrat led cities?  Are Democrat elected officials being paid off by these same cartels?  One has to wonder why the Democrat Party wants to put our entire country at risk by their hatred of laws and our legal system that should be protecting us?  What does it prove?  Who really benefits?  An elite out of control Democrat Party? Certainly, not you or I.

Americans want their private property rights returned to them.  Americans want to be able to get out of their vehicles and not have them stolen at gunpoint.  Americans want to be able to walk down a city street and not be mugged or murdered in cold blood in broad daylight.  Americans want a functional legal system to enforce the current laws that have been written.  They no longer want their cities burned, their stores robbed, and their children murdered.  The seeds of discontent continue to be sown by deplorable Democrat Party policies that defy logic.  America should not be a testing ground of an incomprehensible socialist experiment force fed to us by these demigods.  We need to take back our country from the grips of an insane logic propelled upon us by a failed and corrupted Democrat Party.

The Crime Spree Of Democrat Connecticut

 Crime, illegal drugs and murder should also be a campaign issue in the upcoming election in Connecticut.  Connecticut in the opinion of many is no longer safe.  A recent brazen robbery in broad daylight in front of a Greenwich downtown restaurant that was captured on video shows how bad crime has become in the state.  Car thefts including the theft of license plates are a daily ritual with gangs of thieves many juvenile delinquent, career criminals that have no respect for life, private property or the laws that we others must abide by.  Why has Connecticut descended into this cesspool of crime as a vocation for these criminals? 

The Connecticut Democrat Party embraces liberalism in all forms.  Crime, illegal drugs and murder seem to be a bump in the road of liberalism, thus the liberal theory becomes that these criminals should be treated with the utmost respect, and not be punished for their crimes and the victims of these crimes need to suck it up and accept they have greater privileges than the criminals and should be happy they are the victims of these crimes.  Sounds irrational?  It is irrational to see our legal system cater to criminals while victims of their crimes must suffer both emotional and financial loss.  Does anyone wonder why car insurance is very expensive in Connecticut?  Could it be the amount of car thefts/catalytic converter thefts that have taken place over the past few years?  The solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party is to let the car thieves roam free.  How does that address the problem?  Governor Lamont finally has signed legislation to somehow address car theft with his weak "Stolen Vehicle Bill Public Act 22-115"  Why does it take years of car thefts for the Governor in an election race for his political life to finally act?  What took him so long?  Fear of losing his rule by Executive Order Governorship?  The damage has been done, and this law is too little too late.

Murder in the state is no longer punishable by the death penalty.  How does help prevent murder in the state when the murderer knows he or she will be given a life sentence in jail and be taken care of until they die?  Why don't the victim's families have any rights in the murder of their loved one?  Why does murder continue to be an issue in the Democrat led cities of Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven?  Things have not changed much over the years and the same social and economic problems plague these cities.  Connecticut Taxpayers have spent millions upon millions of dollars in these cities with little to no result to rectify this problem. 

Illegal drug use, deaths from drug overdoses are still a major issue in the state that has only gotten worse with the Connecticut Democrat Party and their draconian shutdowns during the never ending Covid-19 crisis.  Depression and suicides are rampant with our younger generations.  Now we have a  free flowing supply of harmful illegal drugs flowing into our country because of an open border that allows drug cartels to flourish once again.  Why is this happening?  

Legal law abiding Connecticut citizens should not have to live in the constant fear of having their cars stolen, being robbed at gun point in broad daylight, being mugged, and/or see the sheer volume of illegal drugs being sold on their neighborhood streets.  The Connecticut Democrat Party own these horrific issues and their misguided programs and liberal laws have nurtured an unsafe Connecticut.  Criminals need to pay for their illegal and inhumane actions not the victims of their actions.  Common sense and the respect for the rules and laws of society need to be enforced by a functional judicial system.  People are fed up with these ruthless violations of both their personal freedoms and safety that happen on a daily basis.  And it is 1776 all over again.
