The Connecticut Democrat Party Ban on Your Way of Life

Ban everything!  Especially cars and trucks that run on gasoline. And do it by 2035 so you conform with California law even though you live and pay taxes in Connecticut.  And do it because Democrat King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable" has agreed to it with a sham public hearing being held to supposedly show his "transparency" on this critical issue.  And do it because you must force fed the lies of climate change daily or be berated and chastised by any and all liberals for your holding of a rational and accurate belief on our climate.  And do it to remember that your personal freedom is no longer allowed in a totalitarian and depressed one party-ruled state such as Connecticut.

And given the lack of vision and perspective by just about every elected official on this issue coupled with the “Connecticut Way” of doing things, what makes one think this ban on gasoline cars will stop here? Follow what is happening in other parts of the country with bans on gas stoves and gas and coal fired electric property. The Connecticut Liberal simply wishes to control every area of your life and will throw a fit if he or she cannot do it. The state-run media in Connecticut will never report on such factual matters, as none of them paint “The King” in a non favorable light. It is simply amazing as to how business is done in the realm of the kingdom.

Do you realize that statistics of the past fifty years clearly show that gasoline powered vehicles create little (if any) pollutants and are gas/energy efficient, so how bad they must be?  They are bad because they allow the Connecticut Taxpayer personal freedom of movement in the state to anywhere you wish to go.  They are bad because they allow you, the Connecticut Taxpayer, to be able to fill up your tank with gasoline (hopefully not being mugged or robbed in Crime Free Democrat Connecticut while in the act) and drive to where you need to go.  For example, drive to work, school, grocery shopping, medical appointments, and leisure activities as you contribute gasoline taxes to the inane and inept government every step of the trip.  What a concept of personal freedom!

The free market system of our economy along with your consumer satisfaction should dictate whether or not electric vehicles will be demanded in the future and if they will be profitable enough to produce without any governmental subsidies.  Our nationwide electric grid can't handle all of these new vehicles that will need to be charged in any way, shape, or form.  That trivial part of critical mass is always conveniently forgotten about.  Contrary to what our socialist government thinks, the economy is not going to be able to absorb the massive loss of jobs in our economy due to the ban of gasoline powered vehicles as hundreds of thousands of mechanics, gas station employees, car dealership employees, parts manufacturers and others who will lose their non-state supported jobs for the sake of an elitist/socialist decree.  This is the real economic nightmare we are facing as the whiners, “think-tank” pontificators, and extremely well-paid government bureaucrats crafting this nightmarish drivel really, do not care about you in the least.

 I don't understand how or why any registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut, especially elected officials, are still driving horrific, polluting, gas guzzling, non-eco-friendly, non-green gasoline vehicles daily? Aren't they hypocrites for doing this?  I also cannot understand why the King is still allowed to travel in a fuel-consuming beast with state-paid attendants with him every mile of the way. Why can't these same Democrats just walk everywhere and stop polluting all together?  Have some skin in the game of their climate change and be role models for the world. Put up or shut up. As my good friend and colleague Tony De Angelo is often given to say, it’s simple as that, and just as difficult.

Gasoline powered vehicles should not be banned nor eliminated in our economy.  It is economic gibberish and stupidity.  People need to speak out against this coming economic catastrophe and mess and demand the accountability of elected officials to push back against the entire fossil fuel vs. green-everything agenda.  If you are a Liberal/Socialistic Connecticut Democrat who believes in King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable" you follow him by definition towards the path of decay, destruction, and folly.  You will faithfully obey his every word.  Even if it means giving up your personal freedom so that you can truly be a pawn on the Democrat Party's path to economic and social decay and destruction.  At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it is 1776 once again.

Why on God’s Green Earth Is President Biden Running For Another Term? Why?

Are you kidding me?  President Joe Biden wants to run for another term for President?  Why?  His administration has failed our country daily since he has taken office.  The list is never ending with his failures as President.  Do you really think you are better off than you were in 2020? 

If we are accepting of the candidacy of Joe Biden, we must also accept the following achievements of his Presidency during his term:

We must accept an endless nightmare at our open borders with unchecked illegal immigration resulting in a massive uptick in human trafficking, illegal drug cartels running rampant, and a new drug crisis.

We must accept the horrific and humiliating withdrawal in Afghanistan with a massive loss of American lives, technology and military secrets/weapons being lost forever.

We must accept a new energy crisis with the contrived shutoff of plentiful American energy sources, resorting back to a foreign energy dependence with massive increases in energy prices, spot shortages and an economically incoherent new green energy manifesto that is being force fed upon the country.

We must accept and open our homes and personal property to unrelenting, unchecked, and unpunished crime, thefts, and murders, as allowing these horrors to persist will somehow reduce them.  This delusional approach will magically make crime go away with no more bonds needing to be posted, no prosecution for shoplifting that is costing retailers $95 billion dollars in 2022, and no more outstanding arrest warrants that are no longer being pursued by de-funded, demoralized, and hated police departments in our country.

We must accept runaway Democrat Party endorsed inflation that has stripped economic growth from our economy.  The loss of personal wealth, especially by retirees, has been great and painful and such is apparently embraced and condoned by the multi-millionaires who run the Democrat Party.  Prices for food are incredibly high, leaving the middle class hungry with dwindling if any personal savings.  Businesses still in some cases have not recovered from the heavily-hyped Covid crisis, and many citizens have lost their businesses and life savings due to economically incoherent Democrat economic policies.

We must accept the war on families, parents, and religion without question.  Why are the most sacred institutions in our country hated so much by these Democrat elitists and Marxists?  Aren't parents responsible for their children not an out-of-control liberal government?  I thought freedom of religion was one of the founding foundations of our country. Why are Catholics now "terrorists"?  

We must accept that Joe and Hunter Biden can profit off their selling of American influence, policies and American Taxpayers monies with no ramifications or guilt.  The constant unfolding influence peddling scandal in which the Biden's are involved is one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history and should be treated as such.  It reeks of treason and corruption, and a total disdain for the common American.  It should sicken Americans on both sides of the aisle for its deceit and deception of our country's principles.

We must accept the stereophonic incompetency of Biden-esque policies such as “Bidenomics”, unenforced crime, and sanctuary state status being parroted  in decaying and disintegrating Blue States, assisted by the mindless obedience of thoughtless political creatures such as Kathy Hochul in New York, Gavin Newsom in California, and our own King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable in Connecticut who “kept us all safe from Covid” while making Connecticut cities into war zones and promoting exploding electric buses for the sake of the god of climate change.

The time has come for a massive shift in the beliefs, creed, doctrine, ideology, and principles of American politics and American government if this country can survive at all.  Americans need to stop standing by idly hoping for this horror to end.  Americans must demand accountability with an end to this unscrupulousness and ineptitude called politics and government.  The Biden Administration needs to be stopped now and removed from power.  We see once again we have "Taxation without Representation".  This is truly the new 1776 moment in our country.  Enough is enough.

The Democrat Proterra Crisis

American and Connecticut Taxpayers monies are hemorrhaging again with another failed company.  Whenever this happens, it goes without saying that Connecticut Taxpayers get ripped off.  Government must always pick the winners and losers of private business at your expense, especially when it comes to global warming and other assorted lies about our weather and climate.  In the instant case, the Utopian energy crisis and global warming cure-all electric bus company Proterra has gone bankrupt.  Trying to ascertain as to how much money it ripped off Taxpayers has become almost impossible.  For example, Connecticut Taxpayers are on the hook for a mere $26,000,000 grant for now non-existent Proterra bus purchases in 2024 and 2025.  But please don't discount the fact that New York received a mere $127,000,000 Taxpayers grants for these same failed and inept monuments to political engineering, to date.

Furthermore, it's important to note that Jennifer Granholm, the carefully chosen Energy Secretary under the Biden administration and a previous board member of Proterra, appeared to significantly influence multiple municipal transit contracts for these remarkable electric vehicles. This influence resulted in her making a substantial capital gain of $1.6 million just 157 days after her nomination when she eventually divested her stocks in the company. (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/03/the-proterra-scandal-deepens-kamala-harris-pete-buttigieg-team-up-to-promote-electric-bus-company-mired-in-jennifer-granholm-connections/).  Taxpayers obviously were funding Proterra that was at one time America’s biggest electric bus company.  Where did the money go?  How many members of the Democrat Party made capital gains off their stock before the Proterra bankruptcy?   How many were involved in these sweetheart contracts using Taxpayers monies? Doesn’t this modus operandi seem similar to what a humble little start up Covid testing company did awhile back in Connecticut when the politically connected owners made off like bandits in a no-bid contract as the state propped up their investments to IPO time? Of course, its silence as usual on this critical matter from the pathetic shills in state run media, especially in a place like Connecticut where yet another rip-off of Connecticut Taxpayers has again taken place.

Think about how excited Vice President Harris got when she stated that the buses were, "very user-friendly".  How stupid was that remark by the Vice President of the United States of America?  They don't seem "very user friendly" now that the company is bankrupt with some of these state-of-the-art masterpieces combusting.  How will the buses be serviced now with this bankruptcy?  Or does the Democrat Party now find another electric bus company that they can siphon money from?  

I truly wonder how our electric grid is now supposed handle unlimited charging of these new electric vehicles. Remember that Taxpayers must be done with gasoline powered vehicles by 2035 because they are so evil and horrible to our world.  But now this is a moot point since Proterra has gone bankrupt. Will millions upon millions of Taxpayers’ dollars lost in this Bidenomics economic fiasco and debacle be recovered? And in Connecticut it is just another of the many economic nightmares endorsed by the corrupted and functionally inept administration of King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable.

Lies, theft, and corruption are the Gold Standard of a Democrat reign.  It is beyond horrific that the people who are most dependent on public transportation such as the elderly and the honest working poor are always pawns for the Democrat Party.  Taxpayers have it all with both the Biden and Lamont Democrat Administrations and their appointed serially incompetent executive fools who work for them.  Proterra is another company on the list of many pump-and-dump schemes such as Sema-4 designed to rip off the Taxpayers of our state and country with no ramifications whatsoever.  Enough is enough of this catastrophe and disintegrating charade called government with this prime example of pushing electric deathtraps upon us while gas and diesel vehicles outperform them in every respect.

 

The Unethical and Completely Unaccountable Democrat Party

 

"The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice." (Proverbs 17:23)

Ethics are defined as "the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group.” Today. many individuals in America and especially in Connecticut believe that the Democrat Party, being a party that controls Connecticut and several other state governments in our country, is shamelessly unethical and corrupt. There is a compelling body of information that tells Americans this is a true fact.

If we try to follow the limited and fragmented information that our mainstream media is presenting us about the President Biden/Hunter Biden corruption scandal, we are led to believe that nothing really happened at all. For example, some liberal commentators expressed that President Biden may have inquired of Hunter Biden's socialist/communist political friends only about their local weather during phone calls. Others believe the "Big Guy" is a fictional cartoon character. Yet others believe that the Bidens' did nothing wrong in selling the Vice President's office for financial gain. Democrat Connecticut Representative Jim Himes went as far as to say: “Now, to the question about impeachment, there is today zero evidence, zero evidence that Joe Biden, the President of the United States, knew about what his son was doing. If, if he did know about it, if he participated in that, then that is a very different conversation,” (https://nypost.com/2023/07/30/hunter-biden-broke-the-law-democrat-rep-jim-himes-says/)  Apparently, Himes is the new poster-boy lapdog for the Democrat Party.  It is amazing that a Vice President had no idea of who he was talking to and or what he was talking about with foreign officials. The lies that one now hears by the unaccountable Democrat Party should sicken every American on both sides on the political aisle. If a Republican Vice President were doing this, I can only imagine the daily condemnation of him or her by the Democrat Party and its media. Does anyone remember the crimes of Vice President Agnew?

How about the “Russia Russia Russia” hoax used by the Democrat Party and the Department of Justice to influence the 2020 Presidential election? And now, President Trump is brought up on incoherent and extrapolated charges two and half years later for the January 6, 2021, protest? But nothing whatsoever happens to any Democrat operative as far as the Russian hoax? If a Republican President were doing this, I can only imagine the daily condemnation of him or her by the Democrat Party and its media. Does anyone remember the crimes of President Nixon?

Connecticut Governor “King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable” has successfully slimed and slithered away from any ethics issues since elected with his own hard-earned money in 2018 and 2022, while sporting an undisclosed $54 million dollar benefit from his investment income. There always seems to be a cause-and-effect relationship of enormous state backed investment in companies owned by the Lamont family hedge fund that are continually ignored by the absent Connecticut State Ethics Commission and the obeisant and uninterested Connecticut state-run media. These questions still remain unanswered about how the man “earns” his investment income: Was this investment income made through the effectively now diluted stock of Sema-4? Was the investment income made through the multi-million- dollar 2% disappearing “sweetheart” state loans given to Sema-4 that are (or were) forgiven by the state? Was the investment income made through the “Covid-19 Billings” and/or sweetheart deals made by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development to Lamont family hedge fund companies? Was the investment income made through cryptocurrency companies such as Digital Currency group and its affiliates subsidized by the state? Was the investment income made through all new clandestine “nonprofit" ADVANCECT? Was it made through the selling of citizen data via Boston Consulting Group, Mt. Sinai Genomics and/or McKinsey? Was the investment income made through the Lamont-based shell companies formed in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens? Now, we see that Ned's wife Annie Lamont and her Oak HC/FT hedge funds has invested in Saudi Arabia's “Sanabil Investments” a functional division of the “Saudi Public Investment Fund.”  I wonder why and how this is ethical? Isn't Saudi Arabia a threat to our country like China? Was it not functionally involved in 9/11/2001? What about the "ethics" agreement that the Governor signed about his family investments and the Ethics Commission oversight on any of these issues? If a Republican Governor were doing this, I can only imagine the daily condemnation of him or her by the Democrat Party and its media. Does anyone remember the crimes of Governor John Rowland?

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both." (Proverbs 17:15)   This bible verse to me and many others summarizes the unethical and unaccountable Democrat Party of both Connecticut and America in 2023. Taxpayers are supporting this gibberish, guff, and self-serving mess called government. Ethics need to be restored immediately, or politicians need to feel the anger, fury, and wrath of taxpayers all over our country once, and for all. If taxpayers fail in this duty, we can put a fork in this state and this nation because, at that point, it will be done.

 

 

Corruption-Crime-Saudi Dealings-A Poor Economy and High Taxes in Ned Lamont's Connecticut

 

You have it all in Democrat Ned Lamont's Connecticut!   There is always a deafening and continual silence from all sides of government and state-run media when corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes grace King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable's state of affairs.

Corruption never seems to end in Connecticut.  We know we are unable to view the tax returns of the "Greenwich businessman" Governor who has earned $54 million dollars in 2021.  In addition, Connecticut Taxpayers don't know how much money is being made from the newest questionable and suspect ethics issue coming out of this administration as reported by George Colli (TheCTCapitalist.com). This issue concerns the investments of the Governor's wife and his family's hedge investments (Oak HC/FT) being in business with an investment partnership that is a part of the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund.  After all, why invest in Connecticut and or the United States when you can make more money in Saudi Arabia? What does it matter in the least if you are in charge of an American state and you are effectively "partnering" with a nation that is fiercely opposed to affordable American energy resources? And it matters even less that Saudi Arabia is linked by Executive Orders from the Biden administration to supporting the dastardly events of 9/11/01. And please don't forget about all of the other unanswered investments and undisclosed arrangements that Tony De Angelo has brought up (Lee Elci Show 94.9FM radio) over the past three years with regards to Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, McKinsey and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies that remain a secret in one of the most "transparent" administrations in Connecticut's history, the one being run by Ned Lamont.

Crime never seems to end in Connecticut.  Recently a woman's car was hijacked and stolen at gunpoint.  And don't forget about all of the car theft, robberies, and murders that roll on a daily basis in the state.  Some juveniles under the age of 16 have a rap sheet that is as long as your arm.  The Connecticut Democrat Party shrugs their shoulders and  ignores the crime problem.  They instead boast of how prison populations have dropped dramatically over the past few years.  I can only imagine what would happen if a prominent Democrat family member was mugged and robbed in their local supermarket parking lot in broad daylight.  The outrage that would ensue would be comical in nature.  They would probably blame President Trump for it (or failing that, the ghost of Rush Limbaugh).

A poor, unreal prop-type economy never seems to end in Connecticut.  Connecticut has some of the highest taxes in the country, is ranked last or near last in most business and economic categories in the country and has some of the worst infrastructure in the country.  Connecticut is in a perpetual recession with little job growth and job creation as the Democrat Party contrary to their Utopian view of the state economy, picks the winners and losers in business by their political patronage. Businesses continue to close in the state monthly.  Connecticut still has $100 to $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities and that there is no plan whatsoever to pay down this debt.  

Ned Lamont's Connecticut Democrat Party never tells the truth about the state. Corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes do not exist in their world.  Connecticut Taxpayers must deal with Ned Lamont's Connecticut Democrat Party's corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes on a daily basis, not to mention his continual co-opting of state resources for his own family benefit.  Solutions and truth are in short supply in Connecticut's state government.  A state government supported by the hard work of the Connecticut Taxpayer who are the pawns in this chess game of corruption, crime, a poor economy and high taxes.  The answers are in an overhaul of the state government and a system of real checks and balances by multiple voices of a real two party system of elected government.  That does not exist in this state.  it is a true charade of incompetence and incoherent gibberish, set to the music of a ringing Lamont cash register.

The Partisan "Connecticut CEO Program"

 If you run a business in Connecticut, you face a great deal of issues on a daily basis, including, but not limited to, sales of your product or service, a massive and oppressive state bureaucracy, high state and local taxes, ineffective, arrogant, (or functionally incompetent) elected officials, employee retention, and a whole lot more.  Connecticut Democrat Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas recently came up with some more bureaucracy for the business owners and managers to deal with in a "voluntary" program that in the opinion of many will become mandatory at some in the future. It is the new "Non-Partisan Civically-Engaged CEO  Program".

According to the state's website (https://portal.ct.gov/sots/education/outreach/ceo-pledge), this is what is stated:  "Taking the Pledge Helps You:"

Recruit younger employees who have been shown to care about companies’ civic health. 

Boost employee morale by showing your employees that you care about their lives outside of the workplace.

Build partnerships by showing you’re an active member of the community.

Provide marketing opportunities and positive media attention for your business.

Bring people together regardless of political party affiliations.

Improve the community around you! 

The Pledge:

Email our non-partisan “Civics 101” document to staff and/or customers

Note dates of elections in the office and/or in newsletters

Give employees time off to vote on Election Days (if schedules don’t allow before or after-hours voting)

Announce your commitment to civic engagement via email and social media

Give employees time to volunteer in the community each year

Email or post a polling place look-up tool for employees

Once you take the pledge, you’ll receive access to our CEO Toolkit, including:

Our “Civics 101” document

Sample social media posts for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

A sample announcement for an email blast

A C.E.O. badge for your email signature and/or website

A printable certificate from the Office of the Secretary of the State certifying your exemplary commitment to civic engagement

After reading this unbelievable and insulting "Pledge" I thought this really can't believe this is a real state run program that Connecticut Taxpayers must pay for.  Nor can it be a real program that companies would want to take on given the massive amount of real business issues that they face daily trying to survive in the horrific economy of Connecticut given its high taxes, massive layers of regulatory bureaucracy, poor infrastructure, unchecked crime, net migration of population out of the state, trying to make a profit and stay open and many (many) more problems.  

From reading this I guess the state does not want you to hire older workers for your business but rather "Recruit younger employees who have been shown to care about companies’ civic health."  How does a business owner know these younger employees have been shown to care?  Are older, (perhaps Caucasian) workers uncaring, by definition? Are they tested beforehand?  Does the Secretary of State's office approve them? Are older workers no longer able to care anymore?  Will older workers now lose their jobs at a certain age because their somehow no longer "care"? 

Why must businesses now be forced to: "Give employees time off to vote on Election Days (if schedules don’t allow before or after-hours voting)"?  I thought that is why the state has mail in voting, absentee voting and all sorts of other awesome and user-friendly options, so that one does not have to waste time actually going to formally vote in person on election day?  

How does a business "Bring people together regardless of political party affiliations."?  Is there now a system to do this in a state like Connecticut that has unchecked Democrat Party rule?  Especially when reading their "Non-Partisan Civics 101" document that (https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/SOTS/Education/Civics_101/SoTS-Civic-Education-Flyer_2-sided_color_032423.pdf) has a quote from the late Democrat John Lewis:  "The vote is precious. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have.

in a democratic society, and we must use it. — John Lewis, Congressman + Civil Rights Activist". Why then is there not a quote from a Republican on the flyer also to prove that it is "Non-Partisan"?  Would this same kind of bureaucratic civic zeal be exhibited for a worker going out to campaign at a Vivek Ramaswamy rally? I recommend everyone read this flyer, it is an eye opener to see how "Non-partisan" it really is.

This program is totally unnecessary, if not flat out insulting, pandering, and demeaning.  It is a waste of Connecticut Taxpayers monies.  It is a waste of time for businesses to join.  This program again promotes the rule of the Ned Lamont regime in the state, once again to the deafening silence of the state GOP.  If Connecticut Taxpayers were not beaten up by their "representative" government on a daily basis they could be much more "civically engaged".   If their "vote" actually counted they would go and vote each election.  If they were not taxed to death and forced to support over $100 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities they would "volunteer" more in their communities.  But Connecticut is a state where only the politically connected survive.

Why America Needs Real Leadership Again

 Many people today believe America needs real leadership again.  They believe our country needs real leadership in many areas of our economy, government and society.  They believe young boys and girls need real ethical and genuine role models to look up to and to emulate.  They believe that America is on the wrong path, being a path of decline, decay and destruction of ethics, freedom, and its real history.  They long for normalcy.  The common men and women of our country, the great silent majority who are law abiding citizens that go to work daily producing with their abilities and who help others in need, are fed up with the incoherent gibberish, government ineptitude and lies that they are forced to endure on a daily basis.  In sum, we have a leadership crisis in our country today stemming all the way from the White House, to places like the Governor's Mansion in Hartford CT where King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable, resides and marches daily in lockstep with the parade of aimless chaos surrounding him and his fellow Democrat leaders.

Common sense does not seem to exist in our country today.  The Democrat Party political ideology littered with deceptions, lies and falsehoods that must be embraced, promoted and accepted with no questions asked.  When a normal, forthright American does not agree with its socialist creed and doctrine they are immediately discredited, disgraced and vilified by the operatives of the Democrat Party political ideology.  One example is a woman who complains about the unsafe conditions in her area, but she is dismissed and ridiculed by her local government. She truly is afraid to go to the grocery store to shop.  She is placed in further fear of being mugged and having her purse, groceries and car stolen from her when she goes back to her vehicle after shopping.  But in this leadership void we are obligated to live with the the constant threat of crime. Crime that somehow according to the Democrat Party political ideology can magically go away with no more arrests or convictions. Many District Attorneys follow precisely the Democrat Party political ideology when it comes to criminals, the victims of crime are the now the criminals, the criminal has more rights than the victims of crime.  At the same time the Democrat Party political ideology leaders are all safe behind their gated communities and fortresses they have built for themselves along with their private security forces they employ.

Sports is now a political tool of the Democrat Party political ideology where radical fringe groups must have their own nights at games. Religious beliefs must be destroyed also, as was the example of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, honoring a sickening anti-Catholic, anti-nun group before a recent game.  If a Christian athlete speaks out against these events and or does not wish to participate due to their religious beliefs they are demonized.  The Democrat Party political ideology apparently will no longer accept freedom of religion when it does not suit their agenda.

Then, the Democrat Party political ideology list of wrongs that want to be made right seems endless.  In the opinion of many the the Democrat Party political ideology is illogical, unethical and just plain wrong.  The Biden Administration is a great example of corruption and embracing the Democrat Party political ideology with runaway inflation, rampant crime, a massive loss of personal wealth over the past three years, an open border crisis, a massive illegal drug crisis, a transgender children's crisis, a National Debt crisis, an Afghanistan war crisis, a new war crisis between Russia and the Ukraine that taxpayers must pay for with no questioning, a selling of the Vice President's office for financial gain, and an energy crisis just to name a few issues since 2021.

Why must America accept this garbage?  America needs real leadership again not the Democrat Party political ideology that is a failure in everything it addresses.  Real leaders in America need to stand up and be heard.  The same way they were heard in 1776.

247 Years Of Freedom July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2023

 IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated  Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Ned's Covid-19 Un-Ethical "Conn-Job"

Connecticut Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is handled cleverly.  So cleverly that transparency does not exist nor can the common Connecticut Taxpayer ever get his or her questions answered especially with regard to the Lamont induced Covid-19 economic debacle taxpayers have lived with through for well over three years.  The Connecticut taxpayers who have survived this economic and socialist nightmare just can not get answers to any questions. 

Let us start at the beginning of this economic debacle and follow the orchestration of this deliberate plan of ethical deception.

To begin, we see an "Advisory Ethics Opinion" issued on May 16, 2019 that basically placed hazy restrictions upon Lamont as Governor and his family's hedge fund.  For example, quoting from Page 4 of this document (https://www.wtnh.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/100/2021/12/Lamont-Ethics-Opinion2.pdf) : "To better identify the need for any necessary recusal, the Governor would periodically arrange to provide his office with a list of individual investments held by himself, Mrs. Lamont or any associated business that have not already been made-subject to the exclusive control of an independent intermediary. The Governor's office would use that list as a checklist on a case-by-case basis to assist in identifying instances where recusal by the Governor or Mrs. Lamont would be necessary." When was this checklist created and where can it be found?  Was this a monthly case by case analysis?  Or was it completely ignored? Finally, after four years whatever happened to this "independent intermediary" that is supposed to ride hard on team Lamont  in order to stop them from any greedy desire it may have to trade with the State?

On Page 8 of this same document: I read that "the Governor and Mrs. Lamont wish to retain direct ownership and control of a handful of investments as to which they have special knowledge and background. All such investments would be listed on the schedule delivered to a designated official in the Governor’s office, which schedule would be periodically updated as necessary, in order that the Governor and his staff may better “police” whether any official action that either the Governor or Mrs. Lamont may contemplate could reasonably be expected to result in a direct financial benefit or harm to themselves or to an associated business to a degree that is different from or greater than the universe of individuals or businesses that would be affected generally by such official action and, therefore, require recusal by the Governor and Mrs. Lamont."  A poor and humble citizen might ask the following questions: What is the Lamont definition of "reasonable belief" in this case? How does the Governor get to first "contemplate" the issues to "police" himself upon? What does the word "police"even mean? Can this "policing" result in a consequent "arrest"?  Where are the reports issued with regards to the Sema-4 investment and the subsequent contracts with state? Identical questions also remain for Digital Currency Group and UNITE CT.

The report concluded on Page 16: "We conclude that the steps taken by Governor Lamont and Mrs. Lamont concerning their financial assets and associated businesses, as set forth in this opinion, are adequate to better ensure compliance with the Code, particularly its conflict-of-interests provisions and disclosure requirements."  Feeling somewhat better after reading that, we are never allowed to assume that this maze of legal gibberish cleared the way for a profit train for the Lamont family "legally" and with "no conflict of interest".  

If any of the sham language above holds true, why did the Oak HC/FT hedge fund set up investments in Sema-4 and $800 million dollars in investments in the Cayman Islands LP on August 1, 2019?  Why did the state authorize on June 1, 2020 a no bid Covid-19 contract with Sema-4?  Wouldn't this be a direct violation of this ethics ruling of May 16, 2019?  Where was the overview of the contract?  Where was the oversight by the well paid but functionally incompetent state agencies who were supposed to "police" the Governor's financial investments?  Wasn't the Governor's family hedge fund heavily invested in Sema-4 at this time?

The actual investigation has been done for three years now by Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci Show on 94.9FM radio.  He has been precise in his analysis and facts he has presented weekly.  Conversely we have never seen any analysis or investigation on this matter completed by the state.  Tony was the first to point out that this "Advisory Ethics Opinion" is nothing but a deceptive sham agreement cleverly designed to mislead the reader that an actual act of compliance and ethics is in fact taking place, where in fact there is none.

When a person runs for elected office, is a multi-millionaire, and basically buys his way into office it is a severe conflict of interest for the Taxpayers he is supposed to represent.  Ned Lamont is the poster man for this.  Please remember former Republican Governor John Rowland was forced to resign for basically having house repairs done on his weekend home by a contractor at no charge, a minimal amount of money involved.  That was and is illegal and unethical.  However when we fast forward to 2019, Democrat Ned Lamont is a shining example of creating a corrupted administration that services few in the state other than his hedge fund, friends of his family's hedge fund and the Democrat/Socialist based splinter fringe groups that have all had a hand in destroying the state and its communities with their radical demands and laws.  Democrat corruption in the opinion of many has been happening in the state since 2019.  The red-herring Advisory Board Opinion gave a green light to a no holds barred takeover of profits over people by the Lamont's.  A theme that seems to be the cornerstone of a Democrat Governor earning $54 million dollars a year that can not be revealed.  And four years later we are left only with dead silence by an obedient and self serving state run media on these issues. 

There is a great deal more to the story.  It really should be investigated and made public. A real working media would pepper Lamont with queries on this daily. Don't you think?  It is 1776 all over again.

These Are Meaningful Tax Cuts?

 Tax cuts are usually hailed by our elected officials as being manna from the heavens.  Tax cuts are finally voted on and then presented as being thoughtful and Utopian in nature.  When there are tax cuts In Connecticut,  it is an indicator that there has been over taxation taking place and a state election is on the horizon.  In the case of the infinitesimal tax cuts that were given to Connecticut Taxpayers this year, it shows again the imbalance in economic reality for Connecticut's elected officials and for the Connecticut Taxpayers who must pay for Connecticut's ineffective, inept, bloated and corrupted state government.

This year's "bipartisan" state income tax cuts were comical in nature given the Democrat Party runaway inflation and loss of personal wealth Connecticut Taxpayers had to endure since Democrat President Biden took office in 2021.  The state income tax cuts may be summarized as follows:  A family of four earning $125,000 a year will get a $600 cut in taxes, a single-parent family with two children earning $80,000 a year will get a $300 cut in taxes, a single man or woman earning $40,000 a year will get a $250 cut in taxes, and a single parent with one child earning $30,000 a year a year will get a $220 cut in taxes.  Connecticut's Governor "King Ned Lamont, the Unaccountable" expressed great joy for these tax cuts.  Both parties commented on the importance and great tax cuts that were passed as well.  Placing these cuts into perspective, the last announcement of Ned Lamont's yearly income was a yearly total of $54,000,000 publicly or roughly $147,945 a day.  His income is not disclosed as to how it was earned as the public was not shown the actual tax return nor can gain transparency into it either.  Nor does it shed light on "The Unaccountable's" financial family benefit from SEC-verified documents reflecting interests owned in secret tax havens. In juxtaposition, these puny tax cuts in no way, shape, or form will economically help Connecticut's Taxpayers, since the unending runaway inflation of the Democrat Party rolls on unabated and unchecked in 2023. 

Placing another perspective on these tax cuts, how do they promote a more "tax friendly" state?  There was no meaningful tax reform passed in 2023.  Connecticut still ranks as a top five- highest taxed state in the country along with a bottom-five state in business and economic development.  Connecticut Taxpayers monies are given away daily in futile programs that supposedly create jobs, get politically connected companies to move into the state and to invest into companies, some of which have documented political connections to Ned Lamont's family hedge fund.  Can we draw a possible parallel to the Governor's $147,945. daily income to some of the Connecticut Taxpayers tax monies?  We will never know as that is forbidden to be seen nor investigated by Connecticut's largely obedient  and fawning  state run media.

What will you do with your tax cut for the year?  In the opinion of many not much, as it does little to offset the Democrat Party induced runaway inflation you must deal with on a daily basis.  Empty promises, a lack of transparency, a lack of accountability, a lack of ethics and daily incoherent economic gibberish is the "real"tax cut you get as a Connecticut Taxpayer governed by multi-millionaire politicians like Ned Lamont.  No more and much less.  Remember that $147,945 daily your Governor is making as you toil day-to-day being a honest Connecticut Taxpayer getting your $600 or less in tax cuts.  Connecticut's economic and governmental failures live on for another year , as it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Constant and Continual Debt Crisis

Democrat Connecticut's euphoria of its recently passed $51.1 billion dollar "we cut taxes!" biennial budget is endemic of the 33 year political tango of fiscal denial where the state will certainly face fiscal Armageddon in the near future.  Contrary to the shouts of joy from Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party, Connecticut has a massive spending and debt problem.  This economic downward spiral started with the advent of the Utopian state income tax in 1990-91 in the opinion of many. Debts continue to pile up for Connecticut to a point of no return.

How does a state as small as Connecticut and with as small a population of legal citizens as Connecticut, spend as much as it does?  Yearly,  the state spends a massive amount of money each year on state employee salaries, benefits and pensions for both its management and non management employees along with interest on its' debt.  It also has borrowed and bonded enormous sums of money.  Bonds get paid off and then are immediately renewed into new bonds.  It is fascinating to see that Connecticut will spend a mere $823.3 million dollars of Connecticut taxpayers monies in its new budget for "economic development". Much of this bulbous sum will be uselessly paid to a failed and non-transparent "quasi-public" entity oxymoronically known as the "Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development". Even with this massive amount of money that is spent for such "economic development", Connecticut continues to rank at the bottom or near the bottom in most business and economic categories in the country, and still can not pull itself out of the 2008 recession level of job formation, since so many businesses have closed and or moved out of state.

What is Connecticut's actual debt?  I can only estimate it since hard figures seem to be in short supply when analyzing this debt.   In this year's budget (https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/OPM/Budget/2024_2025_Biennial_Budget/Budget_WebPage/GovBudget_2024-25_Final-Web-Version.pdf-A18,19)  the summary of principal and interest that the state has outstanding through 2043 for bonding functions is a mere $24,174,979,627 billion dollars.  There is also outstanding principal and interest on this fiscal nut through 2043 for special tax obligations is $9,935,799,580 billion dollars.  It is difficult to find more figures from the state budget as to a "true" amount of how much actual short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities exist.  Estimates may range from $100 to $150 billion dollars.  Here, the major problem is the actual amount of unfunded state pension debt.  How much is it?  Does anyone know? This was magically resolved by an economically irrational and fiscally illiterate Democrat Party plan to lower current payments and have future generations figure out how to pay for it.  State pension reform seems to be an issue that one is forbidden to discuss in the state legislature by either political party, as both parties are on record for cheering this faux "pension reform", neither willing to bite the bullet necessary to change this drastically bad course.

What is the plan (if any) to pay off this debt?  I have seen nothing mentioned about it over the years.  Connecticut spends a massive amount of money each year.  There would seem to be a great deal of wasted spending in the budget each year also since there is an excessive amount of debt in the state.  The state budget is also unexamined at any real length since the Connecticut Democrat Party introduces it with little time to even read the hundreds of pages of accounting information and check for accurate figures at the last minutes of the legislative session.  The marching orders are simple: Just vote on it and make sure the politically connected of Connecticut are rewarded and have their palms greased by grants, subsidies and other types of goodies funded by Connecticut Taxpayers with no oversight or accountability.  These are the same taxpayers who have absolutely no say whatsoever in where their hard earned monies go.   Taxpayer- be-damned seems to have been the common theme of the Democrat Party controlled State Legislature for years now.  It is truly taxation without representation and the identical reason as to why the Colonists threw the tea in the river in Boston some years ago.  It is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Failed "Two-State Solution"

 

Connecticut is a tale of two states.  One tale presents an incredible Utopian view of the state where there is economic and personal freedom, prosperity, law and order, low taxes, a state government that is completely transparent, checks and balances, flourishing businesses in a conducive environment, a great environment to raise children due to a wholesome and devoted public education system and a whole lot more!  The other tale represents a much more realistic view of a lack of economic and personal freedoms, economic recession, a difficult business-hostile environment, economic turmoil, rampant crime, theft and murders, one of the highest tax rates in the country, a total and defiant lack of transparency in state government corrupted without checks and balances, businesses moving out of state and or going bankrupt, a horrific environment to raise children in with liberal mind control and gender change as the curriculum, and sadly, a whole lot more.

Depending upon your political point of view, Connecticut's two state solution allows one side to control most aspects of life in the state.  The other side has a daily battle to survive in an obvious socialistic state as they fight for economic and personal freedom.  To an outsider, and to those actually living and working in the state, one wonders most of the time why incoherent gibberish is deemed as truths and facts in the state.  This past legislative session in the opinion of many made it clear that Connecticut is truly a tale of two states.  A state for the ruling political elite, and a state for the economic slaves called Taxpayers who are forced, by law, to support this dysfunctional and corrupted mess called state government.

Since the advent of the pie-in-the-sky state income tax, we have all been told how much greater Connecticut would be with a stable source of revenue coming in.  And 33 years later, Connecticut is still pretty much in a nonstop economic recession with a net migration of population moving out of the state, businesses bankrupted and or moving out, a excessively high tax rate, a poor infrastructure,  rampant crime, theft and murders, an illegal drug crisis and many more issues that truly impact the quality of life in the state.  This legislative session again presented the two states of Connecticut clearly with massive bills being voted upon without the ability to read them and or know what was in them, more money being thrown at social issues as it has been for 33 years to correct them, more thrown at the desperate attempt to keep young people in the state, and the never decreasing state spending that always solves the state's problems (when it never has).  The pox of government pensions was resolved magically through a Democrat Party plan by just paying less now and forcing future generations to figure out how to pay for them, later.  Somehow it saves money along the lines of what happens when one pays the minimum due on a credit card each month,  but who cares anyways?   And this legislative session confirms once again how badly Connecticut state government operates and works for the entire nation to see.

In the opinion of many the only resolution to Connecticut's two states is simplistic.  Move out. Move out of Connecticut if you are one of the economic slaves called Taxpayers who are forced by law to support this dysfunctional mess.  Many have already, especially those who are receiving a state taxpayer funded pensions that now laugh at those remaining in Connecticut to pay those pensions. Move to a more free state and a lower taxed state, because state government shows no care for you, anyway.  Move to a state that allows for a better quality of life.  It is not Connecticut by any means.  Connecticut has become a state where a King-like Unaccountable Democrat Governor can use the state as his families personal profit making tool with zero transparency.  It has become a state where local towns no longer can control their zoning laws or property planning.  It has become truly a state that has raped its economic resources to a point of no return.  And it is 1776 all over again. 

The Connecticut Courtship of Communism

 What is communism?  Communism is defined as "a theory advocating the elimination of private property".  Communism is a failed political system in which its citizens have no rights,  possessions nor freedoms.  Communism is a failed political system where an elite ruling class own all the possessions of the economy having freedom and money and while dictating to others what they can and or cannot have.  Communism is hated by most of the citizens in formerly Communist countries such as Czech Republic, East Germany, Poland and Hungary to name just a few.  The past two weeks I had an opportunity to travel to several former Communist Eastern European countries and experienced first hand what is actually going on there.  Freedom is alive and well in these countries and there is still a great hatred of all things Communist from their past history.  Americans could learn a great deal by this type of travel and experience.

Freedom is a precious gift that is taken away completely by Communism.  In these former Communist countries I heard many stories of life under Communist rule.  The stories in some cases were horrific and there is great hatred towards the former regimes.  Torture chambers, deaths, the splitting of families, families forced to move losing their land, farms and homes,  personal property seized for "the good of the country", Russian invasions of Czechoslovakia and Hungary while citizens wanted freedom, and other horrors were part of everyday life in these countries.  I learned of a Hungarian family that was forced to buy back their home they built and paid for when their country became "free".  I saw the elegant Communist buildings of the ruling elite while citizens were forced to live in literal slums.  I saw the history of Communism first hand.  I saw the beginnings of economic freedom that are still being developed 30 years later in these same countries even though they have high tax rates.  I see how their high tax rates and excessive social services especially in Hungary may negate its growth in the future at their current levels (27% VAT tax and a 33% social type income tax-flat rate).  But most of all I saw that people treasure their freedom and still look at America as a beacon of hope for economic prosperity, economic freedom and wealth.  This is undeniable there.

Freedom is a precious gift that continues to be eroded in Connecticut.  A sickening group of legislative bills were presented this session that clearly sync with Communist ideas and theories.  I have written about them in the past.  For example the constant global warming, climate change rhetoric of the left now takes a new twist by trying to make the state somehow become "carbon net zero" in a few years.  The freedom to heat and cool your homes as you choose is basically stripped away with this type of law and legislation being force fed by Connecticut Democrats.  The nightmare of new zoning laws that pretty much strip land owners their personal property rights is alive and well with the new zoning regulations being dictated by an non elected zoning "czar" who will dictate what can and can not be built in certain areas of the town you live in.  The illegal stifling of the freedom of speech and the First Amendment is proffered by a group of imperious and Constitutionally-illiterate legislators under the guise of preventing "gaslighting and abuses". Guns as we know well in Connecticut should be taken out of law abiding citizens hands and handled only by criminals and certain police officers (if any are left in the state) through tough "gun control" bills that are loved by Connecticut Democrats in Crime Free Democrat Connecticut.  There are also the perpetual cries of more money thrown at education, poverty, drug abuse, and other assorted social issues that remain perpetually unresolved.  Voting will now become even more meaningless now with literally unlimited voting and "ranked choice" voting that strips away yet another freedom you used to enjoy. To me and many others these bills and an oppressive one party Democrat Party rule led by an unaccountable King-like multi millionaire Governor with no transparency, brings us a new form of Communism to Connecticut.   

But Connecticut's form of Communism (even though you are not supposed to call it that) is pretty much the same type that former Russian Eastern European countries dealt with minus the tortures and deaths that ensued.  But please put a pin there. One can also argue that the deaths by criminal shootings occurring literally on a daily basis in Connecticut are equivalent to the tortures and deaths abroad especially in the inner cities, coupled with a flourishing illegal drug trade transacted on a daily basis.  Yet crime is somehow down in the state and prisons are now empty.  What a bunch of Communist-driven lies.  What a failed government.  Freedom has never been free. And we see even more clearly a new 1776 happening all over again if it is not too late for Connecticut.  I wonder if I am only one who can see this?

As 700 Bills Are Introduced In The Connecticut Legislature, State Policy Cripples The State

 The "Constitution State" of Connecticut has thousands upon thousands of legislative bills that are on its legal records.  In the course of your lifetime, you could not actually read them all and digest what their implications are and  their collective impact on Connecticut.  There have been bills signed into law that pretty much control all aspects of your day to day lives.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much tax everything and anything in the state.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much were vehemently opposed by Connecticut Taxpayers but were rammed down our throats by the Connecticut Democrat Party (think, the state income tax).  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much have over-regulated business and industry in the state, to the extent it has moved out of the state.  There have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much picked the winners and losers in the state economy. And there have been bills that have been signed into law that pretty much keep Connecticut as one of the highest taxed states and one of the lowest economically performing states in the country year in and year out, thereby making economic weakness the predominant "steady habit" in the land of Nutmeg.

Sadly in 2023, it has been no different in Connecticut's latest incoherent Legislative session with over 700 bills being introduced.  Many bills are just feel good liberal gibberish and incoherency conforming to the omnipotent Democrat one-party rule in the state.  These bills range from more taxation without representation, to the elimination of freedom of speech, to the far reaching consequences of eliminating male and female words from the state vocabulary.  Any opposing viewpoints coming from the opposing party or from constituents are greeted with a vile hatred, and are automatically voted down by the pompous ruling elites.  Thus Connecticut Taxpayers are disregarded and have not been heard by their supposed "elected" leaders for many years. This year is the same as it has been for over 30 years.  There is some talk of an actual tax break for the remaining working class but it is pitifully minimal given the runaway Democrat inflation that is ruining the economy at this time.  And it will not help overtaxed Connecticut Taxpayers since legal spending caps will be ignored and worked around by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Connecticut has over $150 billion dollars in long and short term debt, along with its unfunded liabilities.  Unfunded pension liabilities were recently configured differently to push state payments down the road for future payments  by economics expert, Comptroller Sean Scanlon to the applause of political leaders. The effect of this act of financial genius will create a bigger fiscal bomb to be thrown on the backs of taxpayers in years to come. With economic vision such as this instance, we might as well toss "fiscal ignorance" in the same steady habit category as "economic futility", when we speak of all policies Nutmeg. 

Meanwhile, back in the Capitol Building, I really do not know what can be done to eliminate the illogical amount of legislative bills being introduced every year.  State legislators apparently are showing the Connecticut Taxpayers what a great job they are doing with all the ridiculous bills they sponsor.  However the grim reality for Connecticut is that most of these bills do little to improve the state other than to suffice and pad the pockets of the lobbyists, special interest groups, and political hangers-on that control the state hand-in-hand with the Ned Lamont Democrat Party. 

Thus another legislative year will be closing soon.  Connecticut Taxpayers have once again been forgotten about, and will once again see more personal freedoms removed from them and pay higher taxes of some sort so that the ruling Connecticut political elite and its public unions benefits.  Connecticut Taxpayers will also be told that this group and that group along with state universities, unions and public schools are in desperate need of more money and more sources of funding.  Connecticut Taxpayers be damned once again.  In a state filled with rampant crime, corruption, an unsustainable debt and a failed economy, over 700 bills offered, will once again do little to improve the state.  How could it not be 1776 all over again with a failed state government oozing distress and despair and fiscal ineptitude, while promoting a spoils system, all while Connecticut burns daily?

The Horrific and Illegal Connecticut Democrat Party Sponsored House Bill 6410 ("HB 6410")

 The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states; "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."  Freedom of Speech is a guaranteed right in our country.

 However, in Ned Lamont's Democrat/Socialist Connecticut, HB 6410 is an act establishing a working group concerning safe online practices.  The bill states: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened: That a working group be established to create guidelines and best practices for the reporting and enforcement of abusive, offensive or threatening harassment of state and municipal elected officials on social media platforms.

 Statement of Purpose:To create guidelines that find a balance between making elected officials accessible to the people whom they serve and protecting them from abusive, offensive or threatening online harassment."(https://www.cga.ct.gov/2023/TOB/H/PDF/2023HB-06410-R00-HB.PDF)

 What does the bill mean?   The bill means that the penalties for "abusing or harassing" an elected official online will increase substantially. The bill means that strict guidelines will now be established on how our elected officials may become available and accessible to the citizens they are purported to represent.  This bill means that a working group (whatever that means) of politically-connected individuals will be established to monitor how we interact with elected officials online.  This working group will be appointed mainly by the Democrat Party majority and their progressive leadership.  This bill simply means your Constitutional First Amendment rights will be limited and overturned by Connecticut's Democrat Party majority progressive leadership and Ned Lamont if they apparently do not agree with what you saying.  This bill means you may actually face jail time for your comments perceived to be against a Connecticut elected official.

 It is obvious to many that the Connecticut Democrat Party no longer wishes to hear any criticism of any sort from the incoherent and draconian acts it imposes on Connecticut Taxpayers and our freedoms in general, especially on social media platforms.  Although HB 6410 is a direct violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and longstanding SCOTUS precedent, that is not a deterrent to steamrolling this bill through the Legislature.  After all, laws seem to be for other people in Connecticut and they no longer apply to either Ned Lamont or his Connecticut Democrat Party.  Or placed in more realistic terms, a political power that must have total control, obedience and hold the legal and financial slavery of its citizens that it imprisons on a daily basis, will now implement laws such as HB 6410.

  Ned Lamont and his Connecticut Democrat Party truly do not answer to anyone.  Opposition voices to their dictatorship must be and will be silenced through this bill.  Connecticut Taxpayers who question their government, who question vaccines for Covid-19, who question how much profit the Governor and his family's hedge fund made off of Covid-19 testing, who question excessive taxation without representation, who question the blatant theft of personal financial and genomic information, and who question election integrity all must be silenced immediately!  Why?  Does stating real truth mean an end to their never ending game of corruption, profit, theft, and the continued defrauding of the Connecticut Taxpayer?  

 In the opinion of many, HB6410 is one of the worst bills to ever be introduced in Connecticut's history.  Freedom of Speech is a legal and sacred right in our country, being anathema to the views of Ned Lamont and his political regime.  Freedom of Speech must be preserved at all costs.  And we see even more seeds of discontent being planted by a corrupt and incoherent Connecticut Democrat Party onto the Connecticut Taxpayers.  The same Connecticut Taxpayers who truly see the charade of state government as they are living anew 1776 all over again. They are living a new 1776 in a state driven mad by their leaders disgust and hatred of freedom of any sort.   Enough, is simply, enough.
