“Saudi Annie” and Her Saudi Profits

 Political scandals are woven into our everyday life, especially in Connecticut.  With the current Democrat Administration of His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, his wife Ann Lamont (aka “Saudi Annie”) and their family private equity partnership Oak HC/FT, Connecticut Taxpayers still have no clear answers to many questionable investments and arrangements tied to Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, “The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, Tidal River Fund, McKinsey, and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies even years later. To make matters even worse, not one political person to date has aggressively pursued how these arrangements impact the state, especially when all the homework has been previously completed for them to proceed.

Now let us add to that menagerie of companies and arrangements above the new Saudi Arabian connection as has been discovered and made public knowledge through the hard work of Journalist George Colli https://thectcapitalist.com/2023/07/31/saudi-annie-days-1-10/)  and continually followed up by Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci show (94.9 FM).  There is a disclosed investment of undetermined sum by the Saudi Arabia Private Investment Fund into its investment arm Sanabil Investments which in turn is investing in numerous United States venture capital firms including Oak HC/FT.  Again, Oak HC/FT is the Lamont family equity partnership.  Why are the Lamont's accepting investments from a country that has numerous ties to the slaughter of its enemies, terrorism, control of natural resources worldwide, control of the "green" electric vehicle markets and its batteries, and its atrocious human rights record especially with non-heterosexual people?  Since the Lamont’s have no comment whatsoever on this investment one must assume that they approve of it since it will likely bring more profit to the egregious Lamont family financial record.  How does it benefit our country when an elected Democrat Party official is allowed to gain profit for its' family by partnering with an enemy to our country?  How much of Connecticut Taxpayers monies were involved in this latest economic investment by Oak HC/FT?  Why is this information hidden from taxpayers? Why is the ethics system and financial disclosure system in Connecticut a total and complete failure with respect to providing disclosures in these matters?

Since “The Unaccountable” has never made a state financial policy decision that somehow did not benefit his family coffers, the obvious (but not pursued) question is how will this “Saudi Annie” deal imperil state policy? Will “E-Car-2035” be codified to the point where gas powered vehicles will not be allowed in state? After all, the Saudi Public Investment Fund is a huge investor in the genre (https://www.wsj.com/articles/lucid-electric-vehicle-losses-51035f63). Will all state vehicles now be electric to help bail out Lamont family investors that are losing money hand over fist in E-Car investments? Will this create a needless public safety crisis given the nature of E-vehicles? How about more wind power installations as the Saudis are heavily invested in that as well? How about the installation of Saudi- style “economic cities” in place of our poor pathetic wrecked Connecticut ones? All seems quite likely, but no questions are ever asked by those close to the Lamonts. This is a sickening and shameful indictment on the political system especially given the Lamont track record.

There is a strong possibility that Connecticut's Democrat/Socialist/Communist United States Senator and former faux Vietnam Combat Veteran Richard Blumenthal will actually get some answers to his recent probing of the Saudi's fund since he became very upset by their investments in golf in our country.  Will his newfound enthusiasm in actually finding truth in something actually uncover some harsh economic realities that paint the industrious spouse of Connecticut's Governor in a corrupted light by accident?  

The bigger question here that all Taxpayers must be asking themselves is why their hard-earned tax monies are going to sworn enemies such of our country?  Why are our elected officials allowed to invest in the antagonists and foes of America?  Did we not learn anything from history?  It seems we have long forgotten 9/11/01 and now 10/7/23 in Israel.  

Many people want answers to the Lamont's investments.  It would be nice to actually see accountability in Connecticut's state government.  It would be nice to see elected officials from both sides of the aisle demanding answers to these investments.  Ethics in government really do not exist anymore.  Just look at Joe Biden and his family.  But more importantly just look at His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, and his wife Saudi Annie and their resulting actions, where continual spin and avoidance are the orders of any day.  Those are all the answers you'll need to understand the complete breakdown of morals and governmental ethics in 2023.

 

Connecticut Elections Do Matter

Elections do matter.  No matter what you might hear or see, they do matter.  They matter more than you can imagine.  Unbelievably they also matter in Connecticut.  I still wonder why any sane person would vote for a Democrat, yet they did in droves this past Tuesday.  On election night, I commented that there has been a mass exodus of people from Connecticut who in many cases were Conservative and voted Republican in local elections.  As we saw during the pandemic, many people moved from New York and New Jersey into Connecticut replacing those conservative traditional voters and appear to have embraced the failed social and economic policies they fled from those states.  As such, several towns and cities leaned Democrat on election day for the first time in years.  That should be no surprise to the faux-Rockefeller-type moderate feel good Connecticut Republican Party that pompously runs against all things President Trump.  If one mentions his very name to some in the party, they will transform in front of your eyes into Democrats.  However. there are still some conservatives in the Republican Party who hold the line and deemed "hard right" (whatever that term means to liberals and socialists and why it is so offensive to them).  These same "hard right" conservatives are immediately written off by the party as being not electable yet are popular with like-minded citizens and are elected in some towns and cities.

Bridgeport is a vile and corrupt Democrat led city that continues to be an economic failure and a national laughingstock.  The city is a cesspool of Democrat corruption.  It is hard to believe that Mayor Ganim somehow  found enough absentee votes to amazingly win his election once again.  The obvious absentee ballot stuffing that took place on camera should have been enough evidence to have postponed the election entirely and voided all absentee ballots that were "delivered".   

What happened in Bridgeport was a stolen election, as it was illegitimate any way it is sugarcoated and spun.  What happened was illegal and still needs to be addressed, especially given its farcical nature. And predictably, the leadership position of His Royal Con Man, King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, is that the system worked simply fine in Bridgeport and anything untoward was caught. Anyone with just minimal common sense would know that the wretched situation in Bridgeport cannot be an isolated incident in any way and that the Lamont position is an insult to any responsible citizen of the state.

Through it all, there are towns in Connecticut that remain strong Republican and have been for years.   Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Wallingford. Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Shelton. Look at the strengths of the Republican Party in Orange.  Look at Bristol and some small towns in the state.  Look at what happened in Greenwich, where a well thought out, comprehensive Republican campaign took place that also addressed each lame attack from the Democrats running.  The Greenwich Republican plan should be adopted by the state Republican Party as a blueprint for success in future elections.  However, it sadly will not as infighting between the Rockefeller-lite and conservative parts of the Republican Party will continue in the massively important election of 2024.  

To run as a Connecticut Republican in 2024 will a prerequisite to do so be the condemnation and renunciation of President Trump and all of the policies he stands for?  These policies brought border security, energy independence, stable food prices, small business growth, and Middle East stability. This weakness cannot continue if the GOP ever hopes again to be a force in the state or the country.

There are many conservative Republicans who live in Connecticut and are fed up with their state leadership and constant losses.  They will vote for President Trump in 2024 regardless of anyone wanting to influence them otherwise.  They are fed up with the destruction of America's economy and society by a corrupt, pathetic Democrat President and his incoherent handlers. They would also be drawn to service should they see a party modeled on policy and principles rather than accepting defeat in the name of victory.

Connecticut after Tuesday successfully continues its path towards socialism and communism with the burdens of several new towns that will now be controlled by an omnipotent state Democrat Party.  The further erosion of these towns and cities will be embraced through higher taxes, yet even more crime, more economic turmoil, homelessness, cluelessness, incompetency, Marxism, addiction, more businesses closing and moving out of state, less practical teaching with much more educational brainwashing and indoctrination of false premises, ideas, and political ideologies.   There are two vastly different and unique paths politically in Connecticut.  Let us hope and pray that the demolition and ruination of this once great state stops at some point with ethical and honest leaders stepping forward to lead once again.  Connecticut simply cannot go on like this.

 

Why Would Any Sane and Free Person Vote Democrat on November 7, 2023?

 I truly wonder why anyone would vote Democrat on Election Day, especially in Connecticut?  Sadly, we do see groups who are owned by the Connecticut Democrat Party being forced to vote Democrat.  They include Communist-driven state labor unions, state and local teachers’ unions, businesses that are politically connected to the Democrats, and incoherent and unserious liberal lackeys and sycophants that are entirely ignorant concerning the economic and social wreckage of Connecticut and of our country.  I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens have had enough of the obfuscating lies that the Democrat Party force feed us daily in economic, social and world affairs. President Biden and his incompetent Administration are deliberately trying to destroy our country with their spew of incoherent economic and social gibberish. Even so, I believe that the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens will be voting based on the severe economic nightmare we are living in that has been created by the Democrats.   Voters will state on Election Day that they have had enough of the Democrat Party and its lies.  

The state run media continually supported by the Democrat Party are doing their best every day to hide crime, murders, theft of vehicles, unchecked illegal immigration, runaway inflation, energy horrors, food left rotting due to its high costs, fake climate change, an illegal drug crisis, a suicide crisis especially among our youth, a public school system only concerned with gender change/political indoctrination, barbaric abortion laws, a war in the Ukraine, a never ending Covid-19 crisis, and for dessert, the weekly fraud by His-Royal Con-Man King Governor Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his wife Annie propping up family-related investments by using Connecticut taxpayer's dollars. As just one example, the seven-count conviction of crypto fraudster Samuel Bankman-Fried this past week and his direct ties to Ned and Ann Lamont, the Digital Currency Group and the should-be-abolished Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s secret trashing of taxpayer dollars went entirely unreported in-state. But this economic event worthy of National news is not their fault!  The Democrat Party constantly blames any problem somewhere else other than themselves, with most blame thrown especially upon former President Trump.  I believe the majority of Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens have tuned this Democrat propaganda machine out and are beyond their breaking point in more ways than the Democrat party and its associated operatives could imagine.   Most Voters see Election Day as a way to dispose of a political party whose hatreds, insecurities, lies, shaming, insults, and malicious and harmful actions have brought Connecticut and a free America on the verge of ruin.  The Democrat Party is incapable of any credible leadership or following the rule of law.  Voters have had enough of this mess, let alone any thinking person with a clear and working brain.

It is time in 2023 for a change in Connecticut and in America as to our government is managed.  We as the Taxpayers of our country have been forced to accept poorly run, economically incoherent and corrupt local, state, and federal governments and the broadside of taxes that are paid out daily.  Look at Bridgeport.  Look at New Haven.  Look at Hartford. Possibly, a worse example is New London. Why must this economic and social debacle continue?  Why must Connecticut Taxpayers and United States citizens be treated in such a horrific manner?  United States citizens did not vote for a communist/socialist form of government contrary to what the Democrat Party thinks.  We still have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that are legally binding in America in 2023.  Do we not?

Why would anyone vote Democrat on this Election Day?  Why?  I still believe in the greatness of our country.  I also believe that Voters will reject in full force the lies, deceptions, corruption and evil that the Democrat Party represents in 2023.  We all have had enough of this destruction.

 

Philanthropic Hypocrisy- The Lamont’s’ Innovative New Profit-Making Game.

Money is made in Connecticut.  Especially if you are His Royal-Con-Man King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, and his wife Annie Lamont. Especially when you know you will never be questioned nor investigated by the Legislature nor from your state-supported “journalists” about what you have done, how your profits were made, how much of Connecticut Taxpayers monies have been invested in companies you own, and as to why your income tax statements are forever hidden from Connecticut Taxpayers. You take comfort in the fact that there are still no state media questions to your issues and involvements with Sema-4, Digital Currency Group, and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, Digital Currency Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, “The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies.  Ned and Annie Lamont need not be transparent to Connecticut as they own Connecticut, and they are continually held to be unaccountable by all for whatsoever they may do.

Con artists and grifters are continually in search of new marks. The new mark and obvious profit-making machine are Annie Lamont and her new “Tidal River Fund”.  The Tidal River Fund is yet another new state-driven startup for women and minorities for financing “early-stage startups of businesses”.  How and why this fund/program is any different than the myriad of State of Connecticut programs for women and minorities no one can explain.  However, the branding on the Tidal River Fund is that Annie Lamont founded it along with former Democrat Governor Dan Malloy's niece Alison Malloy, who just happens to be also the managing director of the state’s questionable secretive venture capital arm, “Connecticut Innovations”.  The spin on Tidal River is also that there are 21 (twenty-one) first time investors who have invested $25,000 in the fund.  It is important to note that there has already been a $100,000 investment by another cloistered state entity named “CTNext” to this fund.  Both Connecticut Innovations and CTNext are supposedly investing heavily in Tidal River but many fund investments will show little (if any) results once the “winners” are segregated from “losers” and the “winners” are picked for funding.    Possibly one reason the new Tidal River Fund is different than other investments is that is has the Democrat pedigree of the relatives of two of the worse Governors in the state's history, Malloy, and Lamont The Unaccountable. But by these people appearing magnanimous, this endeavor will never come to full transparency with respect to its reason for existence, and its benefit to the state as a whole.

Investments by the many state/private nonprofits for job creation and business formation are vast in the state and are intentionally made difficult to follow.  The Lamonts’ plea of ignorance as to the number of investments made with Connecticut taxpayer's monies into Oak HC/FT hedge fund companies would be funny if it were not so ridiculous and sick.  One should be reminded of the atrocious economic record of Connecticut even though billions of dollars of Connecticut Taxpayer's monies are dumped yearly to prop up the economic ventures and failures of Democrat Connecticut political operatives. Even so, Connecticut continues to rank last and or near last in many business categories and ranks at the top of the highest taxes in the country.  Do keep in mind that Connecticut has $100 to $150 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities along with short- and long-term debt, with no endgame in sight nor any plan to satisfy the debt.

In addition, please keep in mind that Connecticut is a state without any ethics or firewalls operating in a continual state of moral bankruptcy. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo from the Lee Elci Show (WJJF 94.9 and THIRTY WITH TONY) took one look at this arrangement and said “Bob, this is a wonderful way for the Lamont family to scout companies with potential and invest in what they want and/or direct others to invest under a cloak of philanthropy. What is even better is that they and their cronies get to be observant “venture capitalists” without “venturing” one red cent. There is no written agreement against self-dealing in these start-ups. Nothing whatsoever prevents them from doing whatever they want, especially as they know they will never be questioned, and given their past track record it is shameful and sick that no one is questioning them”. Tony’s observations are barometer as to how business gets done by the politically connected in the once proud Nutmeg State

So, it is another year, and it is another innovative and racket-style Lamont Family economic plan for personal profit while inane marketing gimmicks like the "Make It Here" campaign (if you are not taxed out of business, robbed at gun point, or have your vehicles stolen), are to suffice for the rest of us.  More of the same rhetoric and more of the same results by the profit driven team that leads Connecticut. 

 The power-hungry Democrat Governor and his wife are the first couple of their kingdom in so many ways. This should sicken the state-but never will.  It’s profit (and now philanthropic hypocrisy) over people, especially in Connecticut.

Reality-Based Solutions for Eliminating Crime in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut

 

Law abiding Connecticut citizens have reached their breaking point in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Every day they live in constant fear of stolen cars, (some even at gunpoint), robberies in grocery store parking lots, home invasions, murder in cold blood as innocent bystanders, bank robberies, constant shoplifting in retail stores and a whole lot more.  Every day there are numerous reports of criminal cartels running massive car theft operations as there is no fear of arrests or being stopped.  

The economic criminal profit potential of Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut is enormous when one thinks of it. Due to little or no risk, criminals as young as 12 are working part time profitable jobs breaking into vehicles by smashing windows and driving away without pursuit.  These young criminals are being well compensated by crime cartels and/or other illegal tax-evading entities for the services they provide to these same equally disgusting criminals that chop up the stolen cars for parts, and liquidate the other valuable items in them.  If you choose to defend your vehicle, you can expect to be shot at like what recently happened to a private citizen in Northford, CT. With such a blasé’ attitude towards crime enforcement in Connecticut we have the impression that our personal property is not our own in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Legal private property rights seem to be outdated.  

In reading this, liberal panderers and starry-eyed delusional supporters of His Royal Con-Man King-Governor Ned Lamont The Unaccountable will be quick to point out recent state-generated reporting stating that “crime is down” in Connecticut. However, since a large part of Connecticut city-originated crime goes unreported, the statistics given are tainted, at best. Even in a good light, such state-driven statistical compilations are agency-centric rather than locality centric, so one cannot tell what is happening in a specific locale. Instead, try a dollar-driven site such as https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ that compiles hard data provided by actual real estate purchasers and investors. If we review that site (inter-alia) we see that Connecticut cities are worse than 78% of the rest of the country by way of crime. Further research on real numbers tells even the casual reader that the crime results are not good.

There truly are solutions to the crime wave in the state.  However, these solutions do not conform to the Socialist Connecticut Democrat Party agenda of destroying any sense of personal or economic freedom and police protection under an incoherent judicial system using weak laws governing crime and theft.  But if unserious and woke Connecticut ever chose to be serious about crime, here are several solutions that would start to take the bite of out crime in the state.

Car theft: For the few individuals who are arrested for this crime, bail should not be offered and/or offered at a $1,000,000. or more, value.  A sub court system could immediately be created, offering 24-hour hearings and subsequent charges/convictions.  First offense sentences for car theft would no longer be thrown out and/or probationary.  A one-year prison term with no time suspended would be mandatory.  Each additional offense would add 6 months more to the one-year term.  Therefore, if a criminal has already been convicted with five thefts under these new laws, he or she would serve 30 months in prison with no time suspended.  With this law, the owner of the vehicle stolen, and insurance companies would have a greater ability to fast track or attach any property or wages of the criminal for monetary damages of the value of the car no matter how expensive or inexpensive it was.  Sounds harsh?  That is the idea. It is, and it might possibly make some criminals think twice about stealing cars.  

Robbery of an individual:  There are robberies of distracted and defenseless women have their wallets/pocketbooks stolen after placing their groceries in their cars.  Shoplifting is rampant as well.  For the few individuals who are arrested for these crimes, bail should be offered and or offered at a $1,000,000 or more value. Again, first offense sentences for robbery would no longer be thrown out and/or be probationary.  A one-year prison term with no time suspended would be the minimum.  Multiple offenses would add 6 months more to the one- year term.  Victims of robbery would be able to sue the criminal for their losses and/or medical treatments generated during the crime, while retail stores/shops would be able to sue for monetary losses of the merchandise stolen.

Murder:  Murder takes away another person's life.  Many innocent people have been murdered, especially by drive by shootings.  Do their lives matter? Does it make any difference if they are Black lives? Or Asian lives? Or white lives?  No lives matter in Crime-Free Democrat Connecticut.  Life in prison does not seem to defer murder in the state.  The death penalty should be restated.

Who pays the costs of these crimes?  We do, of course, through higher retail store prices and much higher auto insurance rates due to the onslaught of these criminal activities.  Crime in Connecticut is at all time high even though the massaged "statistics" show otherwise.  The Connecticut Democrat Party has been in denial of this for many years.  A local election is in a few weeks in the state.  In Democrat-run towns and cities, crime seems to be a forbidden topic to discuss.  Of course, there the pleas for the usual choir of more money will solve all the problems of any Democrat run city.  But when you look at Bridgeport which is a cesspool of corruption, New Haven that is a tale of two cities and Taxpayer-supported Chicago-aspiring Hartford, nothing has changed over the years.  They are still vast economic wastelands that nurture a hopeless economic future for those trapped living there.  So called “leaders” cannot make the painful decisions to say “No” to the complete political failures of years of omnipotent Democrat-driven rule and deception.  Maybe voters should really think about why the state's Democrat Party really can't solve any problem whatsoever, especially crime, while they figure out new ways to rip off the Taxpayer who must live in fear in any activity he or she may do. 

Crime can be solved.  It takes ethics, leadership, and respect for human life.  It also takes courage, which is an especially scarce commodity in all areas of Connecticut government. It does not take another "crime task force" However lets be clear. The major player in this sick psychodrama is the Corrupt Unethical Connecticut Democrat Party.  They own this self-made crime crisis in the state.

The Lack of Accountability in Today's Government

One thing that I can no longer tolerate is the blatant disregard for accountability, ethics, laws, rules, and truth that many elected politicians and appointed officials have for their office and their constituents.  At all levels of government, day in and day out, corruption, lies, and theft are passed off as normal.  Cheerleaders and activists calling themselves “journalists” work in tandem with newscasters from the state-run media to support this debacle with their nonsensical incoherent gibberish packaged as “news reporting” in order to help support government policies.  

On a federal level, the continued failures of the Democrat Biden Administration are seen daily, regardless of how hard these “media partners” work to try to conceal them.  Our economy is in grave trouble with runaway inflation, a massive loss of economic and retiree wealth, a loss of real purchasing power due to runaway inflation, and a massive increase in personal debt due to inflation. Inflation is a tax whether the Democrat Party believes it or not.  The United States has a border crisis with untold millions of illegal immigrants walking through our unsecured and porous border.  American Taxpayers get to support these individuals through massive social welfare programs. The new energy crisis of our Pathetic President has increased all energy costs for Americans due to his irrational hatred of fossil fuels and energy independence for our country.  We now must surrender our dependable gasoline powered cars for Utopian electric vehicles in the name of environmental lunacy and irrationality. 

We now have a national security crisis evidenced by the horrific and deadly pull out from Afghanistan, the untold economic support given to our enemy Iran, and now the horrific nightmare unfolding for Israel where innocent Americans were murdered in cold blood.  Crime in America is the norm with the victim of a crime being viewed as the criminal and the criminal being the victim.  It is undeniable that America has turned into a hell hole of Democrat Party induced violence, crime, murder, and theft.

On a state level, Connecticut's march to socialism continues unabated under the reign of His Royal Con-Man, the corrupt and unaccountable Democrat King Ned Lamont. The King is continually lauded and embraced by the star-blinded state-run media followers.  We see enormous of profit made in spectacular fashion by a Democrat Governor and his humble wife through their hedge fund through unquestioned investments in companies that were given via Connecticut Taxpayers funds to do whatever they wished with the cash, and with no oversight or accountability.  There are still no answers given to the issues and involvements with 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, inter-alia.  There is no transparency as well for Ned Lamont and his robber barons. 

Crime is non- stop in the state, as daily car thefts, robberies and muggings are the new normal for Connecticut taxpayers.  And please do not bother Democrats in the state about having a constitutional right to defend yourself, for you, the law-abiding citizen, are the problem.  Just continue to give away your private property to the career thieves of the state, and shut up and enjoy it.  

On a local level, Democrat run cities are sewers of economic and social ruin and despair with open air drug dens, daily murders, and much more social rot and decay than one could ever have imagined.  Democrat City District Attorneys have forgotten what laws are and mean, as their only concern is to damn all things Republican, Conservative, or Judeo-Christian.   Throw in the fact that your vote does not count as you see with the Bridgeport voting scandal. while all is hailed as wonderful in that socially decaying and sad city that Taxpayers support. 

 Politicians at all levels of government must stop ripping off their constituents by forcing them to fund this destruction of our country.  Accountability is lost at all levels of government.  News reporting must become truthful and objective again instead of being a force fed biased liberal brainwashing of anything that stands in the way of a perfect socialist Marxist utopia.  America needs true ethical political leaders to emerge again at all levels of government.  The political swamp and cesspool of corruption and lies needs to be drained, once and for all.  With too many things happening in this world, Taxpayers need to de-fund this garbage dump called government. 

 Americans are truly tired of being ripped off by politicians. The ruling elite ignores this fact as it is 1776 all over again.

 

Ban Connecticut's DEEP Rather Than Gasoline Powered Vehicles

One can be easily confused in reading what the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”) actually does in the state.  I do not see anywhere in its website where it, and/or Connecticut Taxpayers are legally bound to follow the environmental rules of California.  According to the State of Connecticut government portal (portal.ct.gov): "The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is a state agency in the U.S. State of Connecticut. The department oversees the state's natural resources and environment and regulates public utilities and energy policy." Also, "The mission of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is to conserve, improve and protect the air, water and other natural resources and environment of the State of Connecticut while fostering sustainable development. The agency’s mission includes the goals of reducing electrical rates and decreasing costs for Connecticut ratepayers, ensuring the reliability of the state’s energy supply, increasing the use of clean energy, and developing the state’s energy-related economy for conserving natural resources, thereby enhancing the quality of life in Connecticut. DEEP’s programs preserve and protect from pollution the state's waters, air, land and other natural resources." 

 However, Proposed section 22a-174-37, Low NOx and ACT Regulation (PR2023-020) and Proposed section 22a-174-36d, Advanced Clean Cars II (PR 2023-023) follow the rules of California to eliminate the sale of gasoline powered vehicles in state by 2035 and, forcing all Connecticut Taxpayers/Drivers to use electric vehicles if they hope to go anywhere at all.

While at it, why not ban all fossil fuels and their products as well? How you might heat your homes is totally irrelevant to the environmental and unelected political elitists that are not accountable to Connecticut Taxpayers while dictating these insane policies and laws.  Heating your homes with heating oil or natural gas?  Both are environmentally friendly but forget that, you must ban them.  So what, that you risk freezing to death and/or having your pipes burst when frozen?   We all know that His Royal Con-Man King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his Connecticut Democrat Party can use any type of energy they want to while living in splendor off the labors of the Connecticut Taxpayer supporting their incoherent economic environmental gibberish.  You must be made to understand that you are not a member of this ruling class, but merely a subject with no voice or no vote. Obviously, the environmental mecca and liberal wasteland known as California is what Connecticut Taxpayers must obey.  

Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should ban the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection?  Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should de-fund it?  Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should realize that they no longer have any say whatsoever in what the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection wants to do, can do, will do, and will do at whatever cost that its denizens of the Connecticut Administrative State shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion. First the ban will be on gas cars and soon after furnaces, air conditioning units and afterwards, all of the plastic products in your bathroom will be banned as they are made with petroleum derivatives. Life as we know it will be banned in the guise of this Utopian zero emission endeavor of economic despair, discouragement, and destruction.  

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is overreaching its "governance" with this totalitarian decree.  Who is going to pay for all these supposed subsidies for electric vehicles that are no way economically affordable in a high tax, high cost-of-living state like Connecticut?  I forgot; the Connecticut Taxpayers will get the bill as they are continually shafted by all the various corporate welfare gimmicks Connecticut's state government force feeds to them.  An economy needs the basic laws of supply and demand to function daily.  Connecticut seems to be an example of a command economic system dictated by the ruling Democrat Party elite by forcing Taxpayers to buy vehicles that they do not want and cannot afford. And there is not yet one legislator speaking out to call this entire hallucinatory and fantastic “policy" pipe dream a farce, and calling for the free market to take over as to what vehicles Taxpayers wish to drive.

 This is just another example of Ned Lamont's Democrat Party economics and economic failure that Connecticut Taxpayers will pay for.  It is 1776 all over again.

The Serious Problems of Unserious Democrat Connecticut

Ned Lamont's Democrat Connecticut has many serious problems.  Economically, the state has lost a great deal of major businesses and corporate taxpayers that have moved to lower taxed and better-run states.  Aetna, General Electric, Edible Arrangements, Pepperidge Farms, MassMutual, Unilever, UTC, Carrier, Lego, Frontier, Stag Arms, and Alexion Pharmaceuticals are just few of the companies that have moved out.  Quality jobs are hard to come by, even though Ned Lamont's Democrat Connecticut has funneled plenty of money to his “winners” in his family's hedge fund.  Connecticut Taxpayers still have no official answers as to investments made and Lamont relationships with Sema-4, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, Digital Currency Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, McKinsey and the bulbous Ned Lamont-connected Cayman Islands Limited Partnerships that remain a secret via a huge blanket of cover from state-run media.  Connecticut's economy constantly trails the rest of the country due to high taxes, high state debt, high workers compensation insurance costs, a poor infrastructure and rampant crime all being factors. 

Money is serially thrown at businesses that are politically connected with no accountability whatsoever as to repayments of loans. This past budget featured over $823 million dollars spent for "economic development".  Connecticut does not have practically anything to show for almost $1 billion dollars being spent by the (should-be-abolished) CT Department of Economic and Community Development.   This is a serious problem that is not treated at all as serious by the unserious Connecticut Democrat Party.

Pervasive voter fraud enabled by the insecure and comical "ballot boxes" spread throughout the state nurture the feelings that your vote really does not count in Connecticut, especially in Bridgeport.  How difficult is it to investigate ballot fraud in Bridgeport?  Ostensibly it is exceedingly difficult since fraud is still being investigated from 2019.  The Democrat Ganim regime must control the city at all costs!  The latest ballot stuffing incident is apparently no big deal.  Restating what I wrote from last week: Connecticut's unserious Democrat Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas condescendingly stated that: "This situation is not about partisan politics, it’s not about a broken electoral system. This isn’t even about absentee ballot systems,” Thomas said. “It’s about a few bad actors and an undereducated electorate.” (https://insideinvestigator.org/sots-bridgeport-ballot-scandal-result-of-bad-actors-and-under-educated-electorate)  Yes voters! You are considered uneducated since your vote obviously does not count in Bridgeport unless you vote for the corrupted Democrat machine!  I am confident that this current ballot fraud will be swept away again, and Joe Ganim and his pattern of incoherent gibberish will be able to do two more years of damage to the city.  It is a serious problem that is not treated at all as such by the unserious Connecticut Democrat Party.

Crime in Connecticut is at all time high even though "statistics" show otherwise.   Connecticut Taxpayers must live in constant fear of stolen cars, (some even at gunpoint), robberies after placing their groceries in their cars, home invasions, murder in cold blood as innocent bystanders, bank robberies, constant shoplifting in retail stores and much more.  Even new books from public libraries are being stolen. Criminal convictions are down, as there seems to be no sense of urgency to convict criminals especially juvenile delinquents who in some cases are already career criminals.  Who pays the costs of these crimes?  Connecticut taxpayers will of course through higher retail store prices and much higher auto insurance rates.  Legal private property rights seem to be outdated.  And do not forget the shortages and de-funding of police departments.  Criminals are the victims, and the victims are treated as the criminals.  All are serious problems that are not treated at all as such by the unserious Connecticut Democrat Party.

Debt is still an overwhelming issue in the state.  Swept under the rug and no longer mentioned is the massive, short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities of anywhere from $100 to $125 billion dollars.  State spending increases each year with no accountability and/ or positive economic results. More cronies and hangers-on appear every week in state government. It is a serious problem that is not treated at all as such by the unserious Connecticut Democrat Party.

There are many serious problems in Connecticut.  In most cases they are ignored, dismissed as being irrelevant, shunned, and forgotten about in the perfidious regime of His Royal Con-Man, King Ned Lamont, The Unaccountable.  Unpaid citizen journalists giving their honest best are admonished, berated, and reprimanded for bringing up the daily news of crime, corruption, and the general lack of ethics our elected officials have in the state.  There are serious problems that will never be treated at all as such by the unserious Connecticut Democrat Party.  They do not want to acknowledge the decay, filth and rot they turned Connecticut into as it fast approaches the new dynamics of 1776 all over again.

Election Fraud Runs Rampant in Connecticut

Bridgeport is a sad state of affairs, which is a shame given its natural assets and location.  It has high taxes, a mountain of debt and a high crime rate.   Its current Mayor, Joe Ganim, was convicted in 2003 on a mere sixteen corruption charges, including racketeering, extortion, bribery, and mail fraud, and he served seven years in prison.  Not to be outdone and apparently to do more damage to the crime free city, Ganim became Mayor again in 2015 pretty much picking up where he left off.   During 2018-19, five municipal employees under Ganim were arrested.  Police chief Armando Perez and personnel director David Dunn were charged in September 2018 for conspiring to help Perez cheat to get the police chief position. The two were convicted and sentenced.  In May 2019, State Senator Dennis Bradley and school board member Jessica Martinez were charged for allegedly trying to fraudulently obtain state public campaign financing.  Also in May 2019, City Councilman Michael DeFilippo was charged for illegalities involving absentee or mail-in ballots.  

The past primary on September 12th for Mayor in Bridgeport saw Ganim incredibly winning again by a mere 251 votes when all absentee ballots were counted.  However, a September 5 video taken from the Morton Center in Bridgeport distributed by Mayor challenger John Gomes shows a city employee Wanda Geter-Pataki, who is the Vice-Chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, an employee of the City of Bridgeport, a front desk receptionist at the Bridgeport Government Center, and a supporter of Mayor Joe Ganim, stuffing what appear to be absentee ballots on multiple occasions into a publicly designated container.  Also, it has been stated that an internal surveillance video also shows that Geter-Pataki handed ballots to another unnamed city employee who proceeded to place those ballots in the same box.  Geter-Pataki has been placed on paid administrative leave from her job since this video.   As of the time of this writing, Mr. Gomes’ campaign has filed twenty-two separate complaints to both the Office of the Secretary of the State and the State Enforcement Elections Commission regarding voting issues.  State and Bridgeport police investigations are starting also as of the time of this writing.  The state is still investigating alleged voter fraud from the 2019 election with possible investigations into three people with close ties with the Ganim campaign.  

Regarding the alleged fraud, Connecticut's Democrat Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas condescendingly stated that: "This situation is not about partisan politics, it’s not about a broken electoral system. This isn’t even about absentee ballot systems,” Thomas said. “It’s about a few bad actors and an undereducated electorate.” (https://insideinvestigator.org/sots-bridgeport-ballot-scandal-result-of-bad-actors-and-under-educated-electorate). How is the electorate under-educated?  How many bad actors constantly are found in Democrat Bridgeport?  It is apparent by Secretary of State Thomas above quote that she is toeing the unaccountable for anything Democrat Party line that they can do no wrong and it is obviously the voter's fault for what they did.  Although Mr. Gomes is sincere in his request for heightened state oversight for a new election, regrettably more money for the serial ineptitude that is the Secretary of State's office will not solve this problem, given the ineptitude and unseriousness of said office, from the top down.

Taxpayers and homeowners, especially those in Bridgeport, should be sickened by many aspects of the ongoing corruption in Democrat Mayor Ganim's administration and campaign.  He obviously continues to place himself above the law like most Democrats in Connecticut do, following the pattern from His Royal Con-Man King Ned Lamont “The Unaccountable”.  I do not understand how Connecticut allows a convicted felon to run for office again.  It is obvious to many that corruption reigns supreme in Bridgeport, Ganim and his political operatives use this poor decaying city as their personal bank accounts. Civil rights of its citizens are discarded, and ethics are non-existent.  Why is this happening over and over again in Bridgeport?  Where is the outcry by the elites in the Democrat Party over this obvious fraud and misconduct and their usual shrieks about “our democracy?”  Why are Taxpayers good monies being used to pay for this abuse of its vote and political system?  

As Democrat Party corruption in its purest sense keeps getting ignored, it becomes the norm.  The norm of a complete failure of the right to vote and the right to a democracy.  In Bridgeport and other Connecticut towns and cities these failures are embraced and rewarded.  Bridgeport deserves better than another two failed years of the Ganim extortion administration of economic and social failures.

 Ganim and his cartel need to go once and for all. And the clock may tick for 1776 in Bridgeport first before it ticks in other places.

 

Back in November 2020, Things Were Different

 

You are better off than you were in November 2020.  You did not realize that.  You, as a Taxpayer are apparently not thankful that you are dealing with a massive amount of economic and social problems that the Connecticut Democrat Party along with their Corrupt Democrat President help to create over the past three years. That said, how ungrateful can you be?

Back in November 2020 you did not have runaway inflation creating both a massive loss of middle class and senior citizen wealth in the country.  This loss causes many Americans to go deeper and deeper into debt since the costs of energy, food, housing, interest rates and insurances have gone up by an incredible amount.  Consumer and business debt is at an all-time high with the possibilities of many bankruptcies occurring in the near future.  Those on fixed incomes do not have any room for economic error since this runaway inflation.  But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You do not realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have unchecked and rampant illegal immigration taking place at the border.  You had an orderly process of applications and procedures for an individual to apply to get into our country.  It is clear that there are stronger screening processes taking place at our airports when legal citizens fly, as compared to illegals at the border.  Today it is acceptable whether you a criminal, cartel member, human/drug trafficker, and or terrorist you are now welcomed with open arms and Taxpayer money to enjoy a new reign of terror on our country compliments of the failed Democrat Biden Presidency.  Just look at the disaster in Texas.  Just look at the sickening squalor of Democrat-run Sanctuary cities in our country like San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and Boston. But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have unchecked crime and murders in your communities.  You did not have underage and unlicensed juvenile delinquents stealing your autos on a daily basis in Connecticut and many other Democrat run communities.  You did not have a 12- year- old juvenile delinquent stealing a vehicle in Bridgeport, CT as was experienced this past week.  Your Democrat run cities did not have unaccountable shootings and murders committed with illegal guns.  The costs to Taxpayers are enormous for this crime as injured victims walk into hospitals getting treatments paid for by government in most cases, and your home and car insurance continues to increase to offset the enormous number of claims made by the innocent victims of these crimes.  You are not safe even in broad daylight doing grocery shopping as hit and run drive by criminals work their beats.   Police have become the enemies while the criminal is treated as victim.  Moral and law-abiding citizens and Taxpayers are the criminals now. But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have to worry about having your child taken away from you nor be informed on what was going on in their school life by their school officials, especially with respect to gender changes.  Today, you no longer have control and parental rights over your children.  Many schools wish to hide sex changes and any personal information on their children from their parents.  When and why did this happen? But the Democrat Party and the state-run media wants you to believe you are better off than you were in November 2020.  You don't realize that?

Back in November 2020 you did not have to worry about your President or Vice President selling their offices for financial gain.  Today the overwhelming evidence against President Biden, his son, and the Biden family in basically selling United States policies and influence with foreign peddlers for their own personal financial gain has been ignored, discredited, and covered up by law enforcement officials, government agencies and the state-run media.  But the Democrat Party and the same state-run media wishes for you to believe that President Trump and the constant lawsuits thrown at him are justified in our fast becoming "Banana Republic" judicial system that ignores our Constitution. Taxpayers work for government officials for their financial gain.  You don't realize that?

Back in November, 2020, you could rest assured that the administration of King Ned Lamont “The Unaccountable” was operating under the highest of ethical standards and he, his wife’s family investors, and the Connecticut Administrative State was doing all it could at every moment to keep us all “Safe from Covid” and the King himself pre-emptively set up a blind trust to ensure that his family investors would never be able to profit off of the backs of the poor Connecticut Taxpayers. But in 2023, the Democrat Party and the same state-run media now totally have amnesia about that past complex costly fraud and now ignore any  new double deals from state associated characters whatsoever, including (but not limited to) the The Unaccountable’s direct relationship to investments by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. All continues to be better than ever, and Connecticut is enjoying a great renaissance!  You don't realize that?    

  Lies, deception, distortion, corruption, a lack of ethics, laws that don't apply to the Democrats but only to President Trump, a total lack of respect for the Constitution is what our government is all about in September 2023.  The debacle that we must endure is the responsibility of a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party at all levels.  Black is not white and white is not black.  The destruction of our economy and society by a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party minions should not be the new norm.  It is not acceptable to our country and states and its legal citizens.  The mess that a Corrupt Democrat President and his incompetent Democrat Party have created needs to end now. We cannot deny the evil that is ever present in our country as it truly is 1776 all over again. 

You don’t realize that?

Connecticut's Democrat Climate Crisis. (What? You DON’T believe me?).

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!  Yes, the Connecticut Democrat Induced Climate Change Crisis is in full gear and the sky is falling in Connecticut.  What do you mean you don't believe me?  Well, I don't believe it myself, but that is immaterial. Get with the Democrat programs and propaganda!  Now! If you don't believe that Connecticut should adopt California style emissions, eliminate all gas cars and trucks, stop using all fossil fuels (especially oil), dig up the natural oceans to build wind turbines that kill and maim birds and sea life, stop using fireplaces and stoves to burn heating wood, eliminate heating oil and other assorted normal energy to heat and cool your homes or for making fuel for driving, you are considered to be many things such as unreasonable, tyrannical, conservative, uneducated, antisemitic, needing re-education on the climate change crisis and in all probability, racist.

What? You DON’T believe me?

The Connecticut's Democrat Climate Crisis led by King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable" and his regime is too good of a crisis for them to pass up.  Think of the self-sacrifices of our Democrat Ruling Class! For example, we now see our elected Democrat Party officials walking everywhere to their political functions daily and no longer using fossil fuels!  As an example, Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal apparently walks to all of his press conferences now spouting his incoherent unrelenting gibberish known as "his solutions" to the unrelenting climate crisis Connecticut Taxpayers are responsible for, especially when they breathe.  The Democrats in the State House and State Senate all walk to the state capitol for their meetings and use candles instead of electricity in session.  

What you don't believe me?

(And of course, we see nothing of the sort from these phony-baloney tin-horn characters).

Or, how about the climate crisis damage some Connecticut Republicans/Independents cause when they have positive thoughts about former President Trump and his victory in November 2024? We also see that President Trump is also responsible for both global warming and the Democrat Party Climate Crisis.

What? You DON’T believe me?

Can you imagine how economically damaged to the point of no return the state will become if Connecticut Taxpayers do not follow the Connecticut Democrat Induced Climate Change Crisis guidelines in eliminating all fossil fuels and all things that make life livable?  You think I am kidding?  Don't you believe that “economically damaged to the point of no return” includes Armageddon to Democrat “economic prosperity programs” like Bideonomics, by definition? 

What? You DON’T believe me?

Common sense in the opinion of many does not exist in the socialist rule of King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable’s" Democrat Connecticut.  The lack of economic logic being force fed by the Multi-Millionaire Governor on Connecticut Taxpayers with regards to Connecticut's Democrat Climate Crisis is beyond sickening.  There are many ways for the state economy to gradually reduce some of its evil dependency on fossil fuels (since it is somehow bad to have a prosperous Connecticut economy), in a logical and sane manner.  Electric cars are not the solution or electric public buses that explode and catch on fire. Nor is the destruction of Connecticut's coastline with unsightly turbines being built ruining and killing our sea life and innocent sea mammals.  It is time to stop the propaganda and absolute lunacy of this Democrat Party climate crisis.  It is time to stop the wholesale destruction of the state's economy.  It is time to stop the dictatorial and self-dealing rule of King Ned Lamont "The Unaccountable’s" Democrat Party in Connecticut with all of its horrific policies and programs that continue to make the state a vast economic wasteland.   

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it is 1776 once again. 

What? You DON’T believe me?

 

Connecticut's Department of Economic and Community Development: A Taxpayer's Wasteland

 On this Labor Day Weekend 2023, it is apropos to remember that many minion-type Connecticut Taxpayers support the State of Connecticut to nurture a vast economic wasteland.  This wasteland is better known as the “Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development”, better known as the "DECD".  The DECD has had a history of serious problems including, but not limited to, its annual audits.  For many years the DECD also has had massive problems when it comes to the economic tasks of what it was supposedly created to do.  For example, from 2011 to 2017 over $1.8 billion dollars was spent by the state in many different so-called “economic development” programs.  During that same period, job growth was the slowest in the nation and Connecticut was last or nearly last in most business and economic categories in the country.  Worse yet, the DECD did not start undergoing audits until 2017.  Its first audit and every audit since then has shown many issues and problems that have never been resolved year and year out.  But year in and year out, the same Connecticut Taxpayers underwrite this debacle and failure of a true politically tainted and inept state-run agency.

What happened in these audits?  Some examples include (but are not limited to), the following:

The DECD overstated the number of jobs created and or retained along with the financial and economic impact of these same programs.  The DECD did not properly check out companies requesting loans by giving loans and in some cases second loans even though the companies did not meet job creation requirements and/or were not making payments on their loans.  Between 2020 and 2022, audits showed that the DECD omitted statutorily required information, and had unsupported data and economic impact analyses.  For a responsible private sector firm, such continual misrepresentation and possible fraud would result in fines and likely jail terms. A great deal of audit issues are public knowledge and have been raised  in the past by myself and by my good friend Tony De Angelo on his weekly Tuesday A.M. segment on the Lee Elci Show on 94.9FM.

As Tony likes to say, “if you like Peanut Butter, you will love Skippy!” , so needless to say, the latest audit states that "The report by State Auditors John Geragosian and Clark Chapin says the DECD omitted statutorily required information by failing to report the economic impact of incentives administered by Connecticut Innovations, the state's quasi-public venture capital arm, and failing to indicate whether their programs were meeting intended goals." (https://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/ct-economic-development-agency-audit-finds-errors-and-omissions-totaling-millions). Why are the problems that were reported in the past repeated in yearly audits?  It is ostensible that the Department of Economic and Community Development has plain wasted Connecticut Taxpayers money.  The current 30 years plus of omnipotent one-party rule of the Connecticut Democrat Party has helped to lead Connecticut into a never-ending economic ditch of high taxes, authoritarian rule, senseless laws that protect criminals and encourage crime along with outright fraud, lies, deception, and a disregard for the state Constitution. Buying jobs using Connecticut Taxpayer monies has not worked for over 30 years.  Connecticut, with or without the Department of Economic and Community Development, is basically in the same economic shape it was over 30 years ago only now with an ever-increasing debt load and unchecked state employee fixed costs for benefits, pensions and salaries. 

 It is difficult to understand the purpose of the DECD.  Is it just to pick politically connected winners and losers in the state's economy and throw money at Ned Lamont associated companies like Sema-4, Vestwell, Digital Currency Group, Boston Consulting Group, Mt. Sinai Genomics and/or McKinsey and others? Is it just to hand out minimal interest disappearing multi-million dollar “sweetheart” loans to cronies and the politically connected? I wonder how much money Connecticut Taxpayers have lost by investments made both in public and in secret by the Connecticut's DECD?  $100 million, $500 million more?  Less? Why isn't this information made public in a state as small as Connecticut that has over $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities?   Why aren't the audit issues addressed? And if they can't be addressed then why isn't the DECD de-funded and abolished since it is not properly operating under accounting laws and rules of the state?  Why does no known political figure whatsoever call for dissolving DECD? In my opinion DECD is just as corrupt as Governor Ned Lamont and should be shut down.  But in a state as corrupt as Connecticut what's a few billion dollars’ worth of Connecticut Taxpayer's wasted?  It is just politics as usual as we fast approach our new 1776.

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.
