I do not know many people who can survive without eating food. Over the past four years, we've experienced runaway inflation under the economically bereft and failed Biden-Harris administration. In economic theory, this inflation is supposedly easing, but it has allowed soaring prices to persist, especially for food. Vice President Kamala Harris, the newly appointed presidential candidate, has stated that she wants to eliminate "price gouging" at grocery stores through a magical formula of price controls that will somehow lower food prices and mystically make them more affordable. However, we know little about this program other than the classic liberal rhetoric that anyone and everyone in business is evil, especially if they seek to earn a profit to merely pay their bills.
Does the esteemed Vice President realize that her party has mandated above-equilibrium minimum wages in many states eliminating jobs and causing the prices of goods, especially food, to rise? Does she understand that the cost of the grain to feed chickens has doubled over the past few years? Does she know what a "profit margin" is and how unchecked and barbaric retail shoplifting can eliminate profit margins for many retailers, especially grocery stores? Does she have any clue whatsoever that the increased costs of energy are a direct burden on the costs of goods and services and their delivery? Profits are impermissible and taboo unless they benefit the Democrat Party's political apparatus, such as King Ned Lamont "the Unaccountable" Lamont and his family's myriad investments and hedge fund, millionaire heiress Nancy Pelosi, anti-capitalist multi-millionaire and multi-business owner Gavin Newsom, millionaire President Biden with his corrupt son's pay-to-play phone calls, “Multi-Millionaire Man of The People” Comrade Senator Richard Blumenthal, or Socialist millionaire Rosa DeLauro. Price controls are defined as "a government regulation establishing a maximum price to be charged for specified goods and services, especially during periods of war or inflation." Throughout history, it is clearly determined that price controls do not work, as anyone in the Democrat Party would realize if they bothered to research American economic history more closely, particularly during the 1970s. The price controls under both the Nixon and Carter administrations were abysmal failures, leading to even higher prices and shortages of gas and oil. For those old enough to remember, there were long lines at gas stations and great shortages of gas and diesel fuel during the two Arab oil embargoes. These shortages were exacerbated by price controls on gas and oil enacted during this time, rather than allowing the free market to explore and drill for more domestic oil to reduce our dependency on foreign OPEC oil. When President Reagan took office, he eliminated price controls, resulting in increased supply, lower prices, and a major boom in the automotive industry, particularly for the near-bankrupt Chrysler Corporation.
Presidential candidate Harris apparently contradicts her role as Vice President in her coronation as President, as she seems to believe that our economy is still struggling with inflation. She is now a declared candidate who is disowning her record as Vice President and creating yet another fabrication of stale and copied ideas as her own, including price controls to curb food inflation. Her Vice Presidency has helped to cripple many parts of our economy with unchecked federal spending that offers scant results, a failing green energy agenda without any cost restriction, abortion at all costs to the American taxpayer, a $35 trillion national debt, and a deep-rooted dislike and disdain for any American taxpayer who disagrees with her party's progressive, socialist, and communist decrees and ideals.
Price controls always carry unintended consequences, and we are only seeing the beginnings of what another failed Democrat administration might look like. And this scenario is both dire, and dour. I highly suggest stocking up on non-perishable goods and paper products because I believe that with the creation of the “President’s Price Gouging Czar” Office, we will make the runaway inflation of the past four years look like a bargain compared to the much higher prices and chronic shortages she will inflict on our economy. We are already dealing with billions of dollars being spent on social welfare programs resulting in crime, homelessness and hunger that never seem to go away due to the lack of accountability by the unelected and inept bureaucrats and failed officials who create these programs. More money and more taxes are their only solutions, and now, with socialist-type price controls, we are headed for yet another failed outcome. And as the incipient decline accelerates, we can look forward to the mindless patter of social media posts coming from The Unaccountable, and/or members of the Connecticut State Senate as to “achieving equity” or “the evils of MAGA” or “The Connecticut Comeback” or the clincher of “Trump is/was a Felon”, all of which will of course comfort and reassurance for any Connecticut family without enough cash for milk or eggs.
America can avoid this scenario. The solution is to vote this economic and societal cancer known as the Democrat Party out of office, a party that is now led by a Vice President who has never truly led, and her gang of multi-millionaire bureaucrats who have no understanding of economic reality whatsoever. I personally believe she has been an atrocious failure as the next in command (if anyone is in command) in the White House. She and her party need to go, so our country and economy can become free again in 2025. It would be the last hope for America.

The Democrat Party Convention: President Trump's Censure and Kamala Harris's Coronation As The New President
If you have been following the Democrat National Convention this past week you may have been able to feel the hatred of the supposed great divider and world arsonist in former President Trump, who has under the guise of numerous lawsuits, seizures, and raids launched by Democrat Party operatives over the past several years, had the actual audacity and lack of remorse to run for President again. President Trump was ripped, berated, and shredded by the "joyful" Democrats who spoke against him during the convention especially admonishing the masses in "turning the page" on the great divider Donald Trump while needling and bashing him throughout numerous speeches.
If you were following the Democrat convention this past week, you were treated to the usual suspect supporting cast-of toadies, sycophants, and lackeys to all things wonderful and Democrat. We saw Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, faking a smile as HE was not chosen as the vice-presidential candidate. We saw the inept, mentally vacant, (and ruinous) Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York. We saw Gov. Gavin (“the Hair”) Newsom of the disaster state of California. And we saw Connecticut’s own King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable. All have severe character and integrity issues. All are inept and cannot lead nor execute. All grossly mismanaged Covid-19. All preside over the worst and most unsafe cites in the country. But all come to share the glow on how wonderful things are going to be as the result of this fantastic rewrite of American History, reality, be damned.
It has been the Democrat Party playbook since 2016 to humiliate and demean all things Trump, in sharp contrast to how these people treated him prior to his candidacy for President. However, since that time, the playbook has been to criticize, condemn, castigate, and censure everything and anything Donald J. Trump. I continue to wonder what President Trump knows that makes him so hated by the Democrat Party. Does he have first-hand knowledge of the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden? Does he have first-hand knowledge of the failures of the federal government with its unyielding bureaucracy? Is he too sympathetic to the humble working middle class and wants for them to have the ability to advance themselves to greater economic freedom and mobility by cutting taxes? Does President Trump echo too many thoughts that we as common citizens want to express but are afraid to do for fear of retributions by the ruling elite? What is it about this man that is so wretched and horrific?
But in conjunction with this packaged hatred, The Democrat Party must promote any and/or all of the failed policies of the Biden-Harris Administration while machinating the elimination of the Joe Biden re-election campaign since he was not coherent or "Presidential" in his debate with President Trump. But leave all of that at the side of the road! American voters need to understand that the massive failures of the Biden-Harris Administration are all somehow rousing success stories! American voters need to understand that runaway inflation has absolutely nothing to with runaway federal government deficit spending but has everything to do with evil business profiteering! You somehow, are spending less money today than under the time of President Trump! American voters need to understand that an open border that allows unchecked and costly illegal immigrants has nothing to do with Democrat Border Czar Kamala Harris's policies but is the fault of Trump and the Republican Party! American voters need to understand that Biden's ban on fracking was a boon to energy in our country and that Harris's endorsement of fracking in 2024 is needed to get our economy moving again! Why was fracking vilified in the first place? American voters need to understand that there are no perils or conflicts in our world today while we are on the verge of another World War. Lies are truth, and truth are lies, to the Democrat Party.
American voters know little about what Vice President Harris is (or was) during the past four years. She has difficulty speaking in an unscripted manner and in front of a non-staged audience. She knows how to read a teleprompter almost as well as President Biden did, (reading “price gouging,” as “price gauging.” We know she was a liberal Senator from California along with being a liberal progressive Attorney General as the state descended into ruin. We know very little of her past four years as Vice President of the United States as she was kept under wraps to try not make any mistakes, misspeaks and or create any more damage than what President Biden did already. We do not know what she actually is due to the help of the state-run media. Ditto with "folksy" Tim Walz who orchestrated the great destruction of cities in his state during the George Floyd crisis. and is a liberal Governor overseeing a state with high taxes, calamity, and confusion.
Kamala Harris has been proclaimed as our new President based on what? Based on her unknown stances and or work as the Vice President for the past four years? All of this was proclaimed while President Trump had been shot at and almost assassinated while the media tried to spin it as not happening and the Secret Service tried to cover it up. So American Voters just need to vote for Kamala Harris because she is Kamala Harris. Nothing more and nothing less. Nothing else is required.
It is amazing to see how dumbed down and stripped down the Democrat Party has made the Presidency. The past four years of a corrupt, inept, and feeble Joe Biden magically produces a Kamala Harris who had no idea she was part of one of the most failed Presidencies in our nation's history. Think about that when you vote in November. President Trump is a proven leader who stands up for both the United States of America and for its citizens. Kamala Harris is a puppet of a bankrupt, future-less and wrecked Democrat Party. And the real choices are simple regardless of the attempt at the restatement of reality, being a free America vs. a distorted dreamscape of an America that will lead to its accelerated destruction.

The Failed Economic Fantasy Land and The Joyful World Of Kamala Harris
There have been many, many economic policy failures of the failed Democrat Biden-Harris Administration. Voters are now being treated to lies as far as the economic accomplishments of this administration. Unfortunately, there is not much good economic news that has transpired since this Administration took office back in 2021. The sad fact of the matter is our economy is in a gravely troubled state no matter how the state-run media tries to spin it.
The costs of borrowing to prop up a $35 trillion-dollar National Debt has grown by an enormous amount, especially given higher prevailing interest rates. This interest will cost taxpayers roughly $900 billion dollars for 2024, and accounts for over 3% of our Gross Domestic Product. That amounts to $900 billion dollars that is unproductive in our economy, as is the growing $35 trillion-dollar National Debt. It is clear that the Democrat Party endorsed candidates Vice-President Harris and liberal spending and volatile Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have no understanding nor care of the economic turmoil that this debt causes. And obviously with a limited economics education and no understanding of how a free-market economy works, Vice President Harris shows that she is unaware of any economic event that has taken place since she took office, but she likes to project “joy, wherever she goes.” I guess she must feel "joy" as to how her Administration has helped to bankrupt the country.
Costs have increased dramatically for just about all consumer goods and services. These additional costs include housing, electricity, transportation, medical care, gasoline, all food items, all consumer staples, the costs of borrowing money/interest rates, clothing, paper goods, and many more. Costs have gone up for consumers and businesses and industries. Vice President Harris seems to be enamored with her new phrase of "shrinkflation" developed by her glib, hip marketers to help shift blame from her Administration to all of those “greedy, profit driven businesses” that somehow created her Administration's nonstop deficit spending. This is the same nonstop government deficit spending that has created the runaway inflation we have had since 2021.
In review of the Biden-Harris-Walz debacle, one can only shake their head and ask if there is any Democrat-controlled environment anywhere where expenses are low, cities are safe, budgets are balanced, and businesses prosper. But that is not the case anywhere. Take the Democrat-run policy bereft, economically burdened, and energy-crippled and incoherent state of King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable’s Connecticut. Where problems are met with excuses and where issues are ducked by the political class like beanballs. The old Hebrews would say that the apple does not fall far from the tree. So, picture what a Harris-Walz administration acting in like manner can do to further destroy America if it acts only one-half as bad as states like Connecticut and California.
However, there are given solutions to help eliminate inflation in our economy, although in order to qualify as such they must be politically generated! The Federal Reserve Bank has done all it can to help raise interest rates to make money more expensive in order to somehow "cool" inflation. It will violate long-standing practice and “help” the economy along politically by having an interest rate cut in September to further the illusionary process of having inflation go down and or remain stable. Of course, this faux policy will be heralded by all Democrats and the state-run media couched in terms that Vice President Harris has miraculously “solved the problems of inflation” even though her Administration has helped to oversee one of the greatest losses of personal wealth for many socio-economic groups since 2021. (In point of fact, one can wonder if Vice President Harris is capable of balancing her own checkbook).
Inflation and the great loss of personal wealth can be corrected. It starts with government at all levels cutting back spending dramatically. This means immediately cutting back on the massive and failed economic subsidies for green energy. It starts with the closing our border and the unchecked migration of anyone and everyone whom we as Taxpayers get to support. It starts with a government forced to meet economic efficiencies to save money. It starts with an end to the failed Democrat Biden Harris Administration and the election of a new President who is not associated as the former Vice President of this incompetent and corrupted economic debacle we have been forced to live through since 2021. You are not better off economically than you were in 2021. 2025 can represent a new beginning for our economy and country in many ways-it will not happen with the "joy" of Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who are a metastasizing cancer in our society in 2024.Saturday, August 10, 2024
The Chaos and Confusion of The Connecticut Electric and Energy Policy Jungle
Welcome to Connecticut! The state with one of the most expensive, nonsensical, impractical, irrational, and laughable energy and energy policies in the country. Therefore, suffice it to say that Electric bills are extremely expensive in Connecticut especially if one has Eversource Energy. Lately it has been discovered by many individuals that Eversource includes a "Public Benefits" charge in its monthly billing. You, as a poor slob ratepayer may wonder what a "Public Benefits " charge is doing on your electric bill? Unfortunately, you pitifully ignorant consumer, you are just now realizing that your electric bill today is a very secretive example of governmental market interference burdening the cost of a critically needed commodity.
In review of the psychodrama entitled “How Many Ways Can Connecticut Screw Up Your Light Bill”, you will note that your Eversource bill now has four areas of division, 1) Generation and Supply, or the costs to produce the electricity you use, 2) Transmission, being the costs to actually deliver the electricity from generator to electric substations, 3) Local Power, or the costs of getting the electricity from these substations to your home or business, and finally 4) Public Benefits, being a Democrat created term for hidden confiscatory state taxes that pay for state mandates such as renewable energy investments that you never were given opportunity to vote on along with welfare benefits that help to pay for people who can't afford these incredibly high energy costs in the state and other similar programs. The cost of Public Benefits is 27.8% of your bill, or over one quarter of it. As an example, if you have a $400 monthly bill, $111.20 of it has absolutely nothing to do with the electricity you are using. It should be referred to as a state excise “gouging tax” that gets doled out to yet another bureaucracy in Connecticut providing absolutely no benefit to you.Needless to say, when Democrats run amok in Connecticut the operative question then becomes what constructive and aggressive actions will state Republicans push back with? Sadly, the usual answer is not much. A press conference held at the Legislative Office Building on August 8 found Republicans calling for the usual lukewarm mix of using ARPA funds and contrived surpluses as a band-aid fix. Regulatory changes were also mentioned. Some moderately constructive suggestions to date have come from Republican State Senator Rob Sampson who has been vocal in his opposition to this "tax". and has over the past two years introduced different "policy proposals" that would help to lower astronomical electric bills. (Sen. Sampson: CT’s Energy Crisis is the Last Straw - Connecticut Senate Republicans). However, to a man or to a woman, no state Republican in Connecticut has ever even hinted at the most critical medicine needed to truly fix state energy policy, being the embracing of the Trump energy proposals, calling for the elimination of the farcical and horrific green energy and wind power debacle, and the immediate infusion of the use of natural gas of which my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo commented that Republicans are just now whispering about, where they should have been screaming for its introduction and infusion six months ago.
But even so, more problems are afoot. The regulatory environment for electric companies is farcical and obstructive in Connecticut. I have always believed such was developed as a veneer to help nurture high and politically correct electric rates for the state. The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (“PURA”) is responsible for regulating the rates and services for Eversource Energy. If one looks back at the decisions that PURA has made over the years for Eversource there is no appearance of any effective questioning of rates, expenses, mandates or accountability, nor do Eversource customers have any say whatsoever in the process of rate hearing and or rate increases. Why is this so? Is it because of prominent legislators from both parties being employed, highly compensated, and/or connected to Eversource or related clandestinely operating nonprofits in conflicted arrangements criminal in several better-thinking states? (https://www.advancect.org/our-organization/board-of-directors). But now, public awareness is at an all-time high with Eversource stating there will be a $48 a month increase in the Public Benefits section of customers' bills as supply rates will go down from 14.71 cents to 8.99 cents per kilowatt-hour. (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/eversource-rates-increasing-in-july/). The announced increase is a mere $8 a month for average customers. However, what is not noted is the Public Benefits part of your bill for the next ten months for an average $400 monthly bill is an astounding 39% of the bill itself! But I have no concerns. That projection is only for a mere ten months!
Of course, there is the usual blame game along with the typical stale political and economic rhetoric over this rate increase that is echoed by both political sides. However, Eversource is mandated and burdened by the state to create clean energy at any cost. Eversource needs to earn a profit to stay in business. Democrats scream about electric rate increases while not understanding any of the economic consequences of their decayed and rancid clean energy and “public good” decrees and fiats that do much more harm than good for the state's economy. But due to this rudderless mess, Connecticut ratepayers get to pay one of the highest electric costs in the country.
But somehow, with this rudderless mess starting from King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable and his Democrat Party henchman and stooges, the electric rate increases, the excessive taxes on electricity and the unattainable desire not to use or even suggest the use of fossil fuels, will all be forgotten. And this is standard operating procedure in a state that has massive, short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities of anywhere from $125 to $150 billion dollars, along with the monumental and prodigious cost of living and cost of doing business in the state. This rate increase along with many other examples of Democrat Party interference and lack of pushback in the economy are the cancer that has helped create the economic conundrum that Connecticut is known for today.
Effective policy, and not oratory, pandering, and bloviating, is what is needed in 2024 for the state.

How Did America Ever Survive the Wretched Government of Biden-Harris?
All through my life I have lived through incredible crises. The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Bay of Pigs Crisis, the Kennedy Assassination and its Multi-Layered Cover-Up Crisis, the Vietnam War and the pitiful surrender in 1975 Crisis, The Civil Rights Riots Crisis, The 1968 Democrat Convention Riots Crisis, The 1968 Murders of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy Crisis, The Watergate Crisis, The Energy Crisis Parts One and Two, The “No More Energy By The Year 2000” Crisis, Nixon's resignation, the "Whip Inflation Now" Crisis, the Khmer Rouge Death March Crisis, The Iranian Hostage Crisis, the Reagan Assassination Attempt Crisis, The Iran Contra Crisis, The Savings And Loan Crisis, the Gulf War Crisis, the Clinton Sex Scandals Crisis, The Clinton Impeachment Crisis, The Dot-Com Bubble Crisis, The 9/11 Crisis, The Afghanistan War Crisis, The Great Recession Economic Crisis of 08, The Housing Crisis of 08-09, The Nationalized Obamacare Health Insurance Crisis, The BLM Riots and Summer of Love Crisis, the Climate Change Crisis, The Ongoing All Things President Trump Crisis and The Covid-19 Deathly Virus Crisis. That is a great deal of crises that I and others have had to deal with over the past 65 years, reflecting on how government and its attendant bad policies have caused many debacles to occur over the past seven decades.
But none of the above seems to permeate the conscience of the Vice President Harris campaign as it focuses on the usual Democrat talking points: The Biden-Harris debacle was the greatest four years in our country's history! The Biden-Harris debacle has somehow created all sorts of jobs through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! The Biden-Harris debacle has no border crisis whatsoever as these non-citizens can somehow pay taxes and vote in the upcoming election! The Biden-Harris debacle is adamant and unrelenting that President Trump is a true threat to democracy and that the economic and social nightmare this country has been forced to live under is all Donald Trump’s fault even going back before the time he even was President. Vice President Harris is a mirror image of her failed President's administration, she cannot change these failures nor is the least bit interested in doing so.
Our government's deep, secretive state along with its non-elected politically connected advisors have helped to create a great deal of questionable, social, and economically horrific laws, rules, regulations, and policies. We as American Taxpayers apparently must shrug off this insanity and just grin and bear it. I fail to see how we are still living in a representative democracy given what takes place in our government and political system. Billions of dollars control our election process with little result. Truth is hard to find in our government especially in the Biden-Harris Administration. We as a country can ill afford another wasted four years of this incoherent Democrat Party gibberish. Kamala Harris can't change the history of her baffling, bewildering, and incomprehensible past four years of hiding as Vice President of the United States of America.
She is unprepared, ill-equipped, incompetent, and enfeebled to become the President. And God help America if she is ever elected.

The Disconnection and Disunion of The Enigma Known as Kamala Harris
Let us begin by recapping the following statements with respect to President Joe Biden, all of which were represented to be true at the time they were stated.
President Joe Biden is running for re-election, he may have had a few minor ailments or slip ups, but he is more up for the task.
President Joe Biden is in for the long haul, there is nothing wrong with him physically or mentally.
President Joe Biden is the choice for the Democrat Party during the primary season, and forget about Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and his actual questioning of Biden's health in his attempt to provide Democrat voters a choice during the primaries (Who, or what, is a Dean Phillips, anyway?)
The American Voter does not understand what a threat to democracy a second Trump Administration would be for the country, that is why President Joe Biden is running again.
The American Voter does not understand how much better off they are under Democrat Party rule, with runaway inflation, unchecked crime, a soaring National Debt, an unsecured border, and the brink of another World War brewing.
President Joe Biden is incapable of running for a second term to continue his hard work and efforts in leading our country.
President Joe Biden will not run for a second term and endorses his Vice President Kamala Harris.
Welcome to the "people's" election of 2024. If you are a registered Democrat, the choice has been brokered and negotiated for you for several years, regardless of what your feelings are in the matter. Deals are made in secret. Deals are made for policies and laws via executive orders. Communications with President Biden have been limited with controlled questions and answers with Democrat sanctioned media, while the White House Press Secretary has lied with her incoherent blather and gibberish insulting Americans intelligence and the world on a daily basis. But all that is now forgotten and forgiven, as Joe Biden has been forced out of the election by his party. Thus, we will assume that the President is still capable of listening to the secret group of non-elected advisors that apparently control him and our country with their incoherent decisions, policies, and actions until he leaves office. No matter what the cost is to our country, our freedoms and our world security will continue to be put at risk as the sad patterns of what is now the Executive branch of the U.S. government, continue unabated.
As discussed, a large part of the deals that have occurred include the resignation of President Joe Biden from the race to be succeeded by the enigmatic and nebulous Vice-President Kamala Harris. Known by some as “Kakala,” her frequent laugh and unserious demeanor has been perceived as undermining her credibility and making it difficult for some to believe she can be a strong, authoritative leader. Additionally, her shifting positions on key issues, such as healthcare and criminal justice reform, have led some to view her as politically expedient rather than principled. Her views on taxation and foreign policy are disturbing to many. Accusations of being overly ambitious and seeking the spotlight are also cited, contributing to a perception that her decisions are driven more by personal gain than by genuine commitment to public service. These factors combine to create skepticism about her readiness and suitability for the presidency. But nonetheless, she was coronated as the successor to the Democrat Presidential nomination, voter be damned.
Vice President's Harris West Allis, WI speech on 7/23/24 did little to allay those concerns as she stated: “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” “In this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against (President Trump’s) any day of the week.” But what in fact is the record of our Vice President? Is the record of her Vice Presidency an open and unsecured border since she was appointed as the effective “Border Czar” by President Biden on March 24, 2021? Since the time of her appointment, how many people have illegally come into our country? Is it her record of the ruining of America's working middle class and retirees on a fixed income with Democrat runaway inflation caused by her illogical and nonsensical energy and economic policies? Is it her record of hiding President Biden's cognitive state of decline for two years? Is her record speaking before young college women as she tells them to fear “Climate Change Anxiety?” and driving them to a state of fear? Many voters are confused as they continue in struggling to understand the supposed accomplishments of the Vice President.
But have no concerns! We realize that the Democrat state run media will again do the dirty work of creating a new and improved California type Liberal/Democrat/Socialist Kamala Harris who will promise everything and achieve nothing. She has no appeal to conservative and moderate voters who now have no place in the Democrat Party. Please rest assured that daily until election day, President Trump will be tarred and feathered, crucified, and belittled beyond recognition. For this is the norm for the all-inclusive, caring, big-tent and unifying Democrat Party of 2024. Maybe just maybe instead of all the name calling we could really focus on issues, policies, and results between the two candidates. But we know that will never happen.
Only a poor, delusional, and brainwashed soul would believe things are better now as opposed to when President Trump left office. The facts are that we are not better off than we were four years ago. We are currently in one of the most precarious times of our nation's history. Our government is corrupt in many cases. The Vice President is a mirror of the President she served with. There are no new policies except for more federal government authority, more federal government rules and regulations, more federal government deficit spending, more “public health” lockdowns, less personal freedoms, less national security and more National Debt.
If elected, Kamala Harris is in way over her head. President Trump is not.

DEI= (DIE, with the letters rearranged)
On Saturday evening, July 13, 2024, America, and the world witnessed the near murder of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in Butler Township, PA. As the sickening events of this assassination attempt unfolded, it was undisputed that the U.S. Secret Service was inextricably implicated in one of the most mindless and dangerous security breaches since the assassination of President William McKinley. As events unfolded, it was quite clear that the Secret Service (and its politically-correct and connected Director Kim Cheadle) were heavily invested in an employment philosophy known as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (known as “DEI”). The philosophy of DEI grants right-of-way and favor to those of a certain sex or persuasion rather than by ability, skill, or character. The policy of granting by promotion not based on ability or character has led to a Secret Service rife with ostensible arrogance, unaccountability, diluted skills, dishonestly, and confusion, all of which are embodied by Ms. Cheadle and this situation could have cost Mr. Trump his life and subsequently thrown the country into Civil War. But who really cares, when one values the color of one’s skin or the composition of one’s body or physical characteristics over character and skill. For DEI is what really matters!
DEI, was the hot corporate and governmental philosophy after the demise of George Floyd in 2020. However, it is now realized by most to be a failed and largely useless policy. Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Tesla have all either curtailed or severely scaled back their DEI initiatives. Anheuser-Busch almost bankrupted itself on a laughable marketing plan based entirely upon DEI. Parents throughout this country are crying for education in academic skills rather than pandering and a faux attempt of “inclusiveness”. However, when it comes to the good old Nutmeg State of Connecticut, the continued embrace of DEI further cements the way of Connecticut fighting for demonstrably failed causes and believing in wrong things, consequences and people be damned.
With that resolve, King Governor Ned Lamont, The Unaccountable, helped to solidify his ultra-liberal socialist Democrat Party base by his recent Executive Order to establish an “Office of Equity and Opportunity” in the state. This office will be led by a currently unnamed “Chief Equity and Opportunity Officer,” who will be in charge of coordinating the state’s DEI strategy along with several other vague and undetermined psuedo-responsibilities. The job apparently will actually be posted on the state's job website. (https://portal.ct.gov/office-of-the-governor/news/press-releases /2024/07-2024/governor-lamont-issues-executive-order-establishing-office-to-promote equity?)
What does the Connecticut Taxpayer and/or the American Taxpayer receive for the billions of dollars being spent on DEI? And is becoming increasingly inarguable that DEI played a role in the near assassination of President Trump's life last week. This initiative in Connecticut begins at a time when businesses like the major players mentioned above realized that DEI training has been an illogical and costly liberal experimental mess and have reduced or eliminated it in their companies, The Unaccountable deems it essential and critical that Connecticut Taxpayers that will be adversely impacted by the endeavor foot the bill for this new bureaucracy. That, being the same bureaucracy that has helped to nurture a massive loss of population, jobs and businesses over the past 30 plus years. That same bureaucracy that has established “Crime Free Democrat Connecticut" as a paradise for criminals and crime especially for car thefts. That same bureaucracy that has established Bridgeport as perhaps the most corrupt and inefficiently run cities in the country with a convicted felon leading the city to a path of no return. That same bureaucracy that encourages the deceit, deception, and fraudulence of the election process especially in Bridgeport. That same bureaucracy that condemns minorities for not agreeing with them when they join the Republican Party calling them the worst names possible.
Under the Biden regime, DEI is all over our federal government. The military, law enforcement, governmental agencies have seminars and classes on it. Security seems to be a victim to DEI and the inclusion of all in security (even if they are incapable of doing the job). We can also look back in April when H.R.800, “The Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act” was introduced by Mississippi Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson that would remove Secret Service protection from anyone convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison, which upon a hypothetical passage would set Mr. Trump up for a shiv if he were to be incarcerated. Seeing this, one could easily argue that many Democrats seem not to care for either law and order nor security by seeing this Act be introduced, the amount of crime not being prosecuted, illegal immigrants crossing freely through our borders and also by the lack of security (which was finally given to) Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is the direct blood relative of two formidable and vital political leaders that were murdered during the time of their service.
But what does any of that matter to the Unaccountable? Connecticut will now yield to DEI correctness. Connecticut Taxpayers will be forced to pay even more in taxes as this new department and its assorted directorate, officialdom, and red tape from DEI employees, assorted political cronies, toadies and lackeys, and other Democrat Party bloat. In the future the department will need more employees and more money to operate. Transparency will never exist in this bureaucracy. There really is no need to be transparent since many state departments and commissions are accountable to no one but themselves.
But what will change by the Unaccountable’s decision? Connecticut will still have the same problems with this new DEI Czar. Connecticut still a net migration of population moving out of state, $100-$150 billion dollars’ worth of short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities, a crime problem, the status of being one of the highest taxed states in the country and is at or near the bottom in most business categories. That to many seem to be the more important problems in the state rather than a bureaucracy "that will be responsible for leading Connecticut’s efforts to ensure that state government is a leader in equity and inclusion with the goals of eliminating institutional and systemic barriers,” The barriers in Connecticut have all been produced by the Democrat Party with their 30 plus years of omnipotent one party rule. The barriers in Connecticut are permanent to keep out dissenting thought and free enterprise. The barriers in Connecticut have been fortified by a state-run and controlled media. The barriers in Connecticut are ruthless in their hatred of a working middle class who is fed up with being force fed this stale propaganda that offers nothing in the way of solutions. The barriers in Connecticut need to be broken once and for all those working legal citizens and taxpayers that support this once great state.
May God Bless America and Save Connecticut from this horrible, nonsensical, and destructive decision.Saturday, July 13, 2024
The Compounded Felony of Joe Biden and His Myriad Democrat Enablers
One can argue that our President is only a figurehead in our government. However, one should not confuse a figurehead with a fossil. That said, it has become evident over the past four years that Joe Biden is only a vacuous symbol of the free world who has lost most of his capabilities to speak, make decisions, communicate with officials and leaders without a teleprompter, and make decisions on his own. His doddering mannerisms give him the appearance of one who is acting like a Monarch overlooking his own personal monarchy. The 24/7/365 incoherent gibberish spouting from pro Democrat mainstream media had covered very well for Biden up to his confused, muddled, and unclear debate performance which was blamed upon several factors that should be an insult to the intelligence of the American Voter. The American Voter, no matter what their party affiliation, has experienced and watched the gaffes, memory lapses, stumbles, and massive mental decline of Biden for years firsthand, capped off by a “Big Boy” press conference on July 11 providing the American voter with an encore performance of the same. This American Voter also has been wondering why they do not see their President communicating much if at all, except for an elite few in the media that have been carefully guarding his decline. And why is that? Because we are told constantly that a second Trump Administration is a threat to democracy and the free world as we know it. One could clearly argue that the current leftist Biden Administration has been a much graver threat to democracy over the past four years with an apparent surrogate and non-elected group of unknown individuals making decisions for our country. We are now on the verge of World War III, we insist on recognizing terrorists are legitimate leaders of countries, we have runaway inflation, we have a runaway National Debt, we have United States citizens being held hostage throughout the world and we have a grave sense of hopelessness as a country that has not been felt in many years with the America-be-damned Biden Monarchy debacle now ruling us.
It is also evident that the failed Biden administration has done an outstanding job in enabling the Democrat sycophants of the state of Connecticut on its road to ruin. The serially incompetent Miguel Cardona of Connecticut serves in a manner of sorts as the United States Secretary of Education. One might ask themselves what kind of a President appoints someone in education who thinks it is perfectly fine for your daughter to play sports with men wishing to be women and having these poor girls nervously undressing before these men without a right to complain. Obviously, only a shell of a man without any thinking sensitivities whatsoever could make such an evil appointment. And the Biden lie has been further enabled by the entire Connecticut Congressional Delegation (with the exception of a scared of not being re-elected Jim Himes) who does all it can to dance and distance itself from this issue. Not to be undone, King Governor Ned Lamont the Unaccountable continues his non-answers to all questions about Biden, while he gleefully holds his hands out for whatever largesse dear old senile Uncle Joe can fork over for the Unaccountable to somehow waste. (After all, a payday is a payday).
But of course, neither Connecticut nor the national news media strives for correct answers, as they act like publicists than journalists. At one time the media presented two sides of all news events and issues and allowed the intelligent consumer to draw his or her own conclusions. Today, we have news that is meant to indoctrinate ourselves to the failed values and demands of a socialistic state whereby a differing opinion must be silenced at all costs. This is the manner that state run media, a media that has covered for Joe Biden and his operatives, and Connecticut politicians for years, operates. And this self-serving media still believes that it is omnipotent in our society. The media acts as a self-appointed ruling part of our government in conjunction with the failed Democrat Party with all telling us what they want us to hear. This type of conduct would be deemed as fraud, larceny, or felonious conduct in the private sector, but in Democrat government, it is their equivalent of God’s work.
But ostensibly, even liars have limits. Now, we are told that some in the media are turning away from Biden. They are lecturing him as to withdraw and allow an even worse leftist/socialist/unserious/incompetent to run in our do-nothing Vice President Kamala Harris. She now must be ascended to the Monarchy and its crown to continue wreak havoc on our country with her mumbled socialist thoughts. and speech as she incoherently rambles about “reproductive rights” with said reproductive rights now available to all women. However, in seeing that, I ask how low will the Democrat Party go to preserve its power?
Time is running short for America. It can't accept four more years of disgrace and elitism that the Democrat Party at all levels of government offer. It has failed miserably since the Biden coronation. It has failed along with a nonexistent unbalanced media that is the second arm of the Democrat Party. The charade of the media in protecting one like Biden for over two years now shows the complete distaste and distrust both the media and the Democrat Party has for all of our country especially for those who question their ideologies. There is no path to victory for lying Joe Biden and his cronies. This November we will rid ourselves top to bottom of this dross, dreck and garbage that is the Democrat Party of America in 2024.

What A Mess Joe Biden Is In. What A Mess Blue States Like Connecticut, Are In. (And What A Mess We Are In)
Yet, with all these messes, Joe Biden and the Democrat Party truly believe that their liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees are working. And all these illusions are sufficient for a now truly dysfunctional, aging, haggard, and mentally challenged Joe Biden to be re-elected for a second term in his current nonfunctional mental and physical state. In business, education, and in other governments, a person of his current condition would not be working or governing but would be signed into elder care. However, in the United States. this career politician, who has continually gamed his political influence for his family's financial gain through the years, is supposedly the best overall person in the country and his party to lead our country. Kindly recall that Joe Biden was the person who was to unite our country and to somehow preserve our democracy back in 2020. It was drilled into us by many in government and media that The Democrat Party was supposed to resolve so many issues in our country and our world after the purported Reign of Terror of President Donald Trump. We were to be much safer than we were under that supposedly evil, flag loving, non-woke man. And the phonograph machine cranked on. However, in true Saul Alinsky fashion, Biden lied. The Democrat Party lied. The state-controlled media lied. And many people died as the result of the last four years of this Biden machine.
Reality does not exist with Joe Biden, his handlers, and at all levels of the Democrat Party. The realities of forced liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees have failed our country miserably for the past four years and many finely working systems now hang by a thread. You are not better off than you were four years ago. Our National Debt exceeds any ability our country has to possibly pay it off by a wide amount. So, desperation and illusion become the norm to buy votes. Giveaway gimmicks are one such vehicle that Joe Biden and his serially incompetent Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona have employed by pretending to forgive student debt, but such schemes have lasted only as long as they have been found to be illegal by courts of law. Inflation has cost Americans any savings they had remaining in many cases as they try to pay for necessities such as food, housing, and transportation. Woke administrative and DEI policies are making our country a banana republic, especially with our military. The surrender of nine military bases in Afghanistan along with hundreds of millions of dollars in live military equipment and supplies only has re-energized terrorists throughout the world. Why were American lives lost in this debacle? These failures economically, socially, and militarily are the responsibility of Joe Biden and his handlers. They own the numerous crises that they have created. And they will be difficult to fix in the short run.
In addition, the ancestors of the now-persecuted Jewish people of America were often fond of saying that apples do not fall far from their trees. And a perfectly formed apple of the rotten Democrat tree is that of the State of Connecticut, being much like other Blue States. And what a laughingstock Connecticut has become. Recent National-newsworthy events in Connecticut include an ever-worsening state voting scandal, enabled Climate-change protestors marring a world-class major golf tournament, a state representative filmed while making an obscene gesture outside of President Trump’s home, and the murder of several state employees, (one a state trooper) on the state’s interstate highway system by impaired individuals. But rather than acknowledge these grave faults and taking steps to correct them, no acknowledgments are ever made by any Democrat in Connecticut government. Just like things are at the National level, Connecticut is on the Comeback Trail! Do you disagree? (In that case, you must be some sort of racist, right-wing nut, or conspiracy theorist filled with hate).
But real Americans are fed up with these same failed liberal/socialistic laws, policies and decrees that have done nothing whatsoever to improve our economy or society. If one disagrees with Joe Biden, his handlers and or the Democrat Party you are considered the enemy. Freedom of thought and speech are only for the Democrats. Don't forget the incendiary rhetoric Biden's "unifying speech" in 2022 and his condemnation of all things Trump, where he ineloquently barked that “MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies,” "They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country."(https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/09/01/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation/). And yet America was forced to suffer through a pathetic President trying to debate his challenger and make you want to vote for four more years of his insanity. You truly are not better off with Joe Biden, his handlers and or the Democrat Party. They will not compromise. They are a group of political elitists and extremists who rule through intimidation, brute force, and shaming.
This chapter of American history needs to end quickly, so that our country can survive yet another 248 years of freedoms. Our country truly will be lost, and possibly destroyed, if we follow the lost paths of Joe Biden, his handlers, his Blue State acolytes, and/or the Democrat Party.

248 Years Of Freedom July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2024
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.

The Steady Habits Of Crime And Incompetence In King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable's Connecticut
Do you disagree? Allow me to share a serious case in point being an amazing article that was actually published by the left-leaning Hartford Courant concerning a crime that could have been avoided. The alleged criminal Franklin Post, 35 years old, apparently sped through a stop sign in Griswold, CT and killed Charlotte Degrado, 96, of Branford, who was an occupant in the car that he hit. According to the article, Post has at least a dozen criminal convictions and has at least ten more criminal cases pending against him. He has served hard time in prison on three different occasions. He was free on bond even though he has been arrested six times since January. Inexplicably, he has had the ability to post $275,000 in bonds. (https://www.courant.com/2024/06/13/court-files-show-ct-driver-suspected-in-crash-that-killed-96-year-old-woman-has-long-criminal-record) Post also has repeatedly violated his probations, and this time fled after the accident. "Troopers found drug paraphernalia and a knife inside of the Audi, according to Connecticut State Police. Witnesses told authorities that three people inside of the vehicle had gotten out after the crash and ran away...His GPS ankle device had been tampered with, he had pills that tested positive for fentanyl and had more than $4,000 in cash on him."(https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-london/serious-injuries-reported-after-griswold-crash)
Based on all of Post’s prior convictions, violations of probation, and ostensible drug use, why was this man free to be allowed to murder this 96-year-old innocent woman by his vehicle? In a stark, staring testimony to the total lack of professionalism and integrity of the administrative state in Connecticut, how is it even possible that he maintained his driver's license? Why was he walking free in numerous violations of his probation? These questions need to be answered immediately, if not sooner.
It is evident that the Connecticut Democrat Party and its assorted facilitators and enablers have little to no concern whatsoever about public safety in the state. Spending just a few minutes driving on a state highway, or in any of the sparkling cities and inner-ring suburbs in Connecticut will tell anyone that. Connecticut is at such a state of disaster that even a prominent state legislator referred to it this past week as a “laughingstock”. Where no real and productive job creating business would ever venture to come into the state, we are instead treated to The Unaccountable’s self-serving visions of “Innovation Clusters” benefiting his family interests. But none of that matters, as more weighty issues concern the left like lowering the prison population and making everyone unsafe except for the career criminals and crime gangs that roam freely in the state as they are now coddled and protected by the left. Car insurance costs on the state have skyrocketed due to the constant theft of vehicles in the state and the abysmal traffic enforcement on state highways and roads. Juvenile delinquents roam free to steal with no fear of any type of legal action due to the dysfunctional and defective state legal system that apparently will not prosecute them. Retail store costs of shoplifting continue to climb with costs being passed on to you and I as legitimate customers. Blatant crime exists with thefts of anything and everything in the state, from being held up while trying to put your groceries in your car, from pumping gas, and even now with you a law-abiding citizen sitting in your home being at risk of intruders breaking in.
One can only hope that Degrado family takes all possible legal avenues against the state judicial system, its judges, probation officers, defense lawyers and state elected officials to expose and hold them liable for their actions for the death of their family member. Yes, it is high time that our highly paid and serially unaccountable Connecticut administrative system hold responsibility as well along with the criminal in this case for their careless and negligent attitude in handling this career criminal. Yet another innocent life is lost due to the crime spree that exists in "Crime Free Democrat Connecticut", for no reason at all except for the stupidity of a politically correct non-functioning judicial system. A system that helps to buy votes evermore for a horrific social experiment that is now at a point of no return to a once proud and productive state, called Connecticut.

The Economic Cancer of Democrat-Centric Economics
The Biden re-election candidacy seems to be mired in their constant blaming of former President Trump for everything and anything, including (but not limited to) events that happened well past his Presidency. If we candidly examine the economic differences between the two Presidencies there are stark and undeniable contrasts. The Trump Presidency offered great financial gains for the economy especially for low- and middle-income workers and people of color that saw their income and opportunities increase. Real wages rose, many jobs were created, and most of all prices were stable with little to no inflation or inflationary pressure. This all changed with the draconian pandemic shutdown of the economy. Since 2021. the Biden Presidency has delivered an incredible tide of inflation and runaway inflation with the highest increases in prices seen in food/groceries, housing/rents, and insurances of all types in decades along with massive increases in the costs of new and used vehicles. Tied into the Biden economy are the wars that are currently taking place in the Ukraine and Middle East having a negative impact on our economy due to the gargantuan amounts of aid being sent by our government. In my opinion, it is now critically imperative for voters to put personal feelings aside and ask themselves while voting “am I better off economically than I was four years ago?” I will venture to say no you are not, and therefore you now must vote accordingly.
The Biden Administration keeps trying to tell you that the economy is great, and you are much better off than you were under the Trump Administration's economy whether you know it or not! This is sickening economic gibberish as the real economic figures are showing a much more gloom and doom scenario since inflation has raised the costs of mostly everything and real wages have gone up to support the inflation rate. If you are on a fixed income like most retirees, you may be skipping meals to stretch your budget due to the excessively prohibitive costs of food. There also seems to be a disconnect in the labor market as certain jobs remain unfilled while gluts of workers are seen in other industries. The service industry has been especially hard hit since the pandemic as many former service workers left the industry during the pandemic as restaurants were forced to close (without good reason as finally admitted in 2024), and will never return. President Trump has actually offered a real economic incentive to help stimulate real wages and the service industry by eliminating taxes on tip income. This policy will put more in the hands of many lower-income workers, thus giving them a greater ability to spend, save more and eliminate debt. But rather than embracing a bold and necessary economic solution, cowardly politicians from both parties turn a high tail and run, seeing the possibility of their cherished administrative state being starved out. But what value is failure unless you come full circle? The Biden Administration brainlessly seems to be placing all of its efforts into green energy jobs especially with electric vehicles and its attendant “DEI” and “equity” quotas that are impossible to fill. The Biden Administration does not see its own attendant failure with the gargantuan number of jobs eliminated from needlessly shutting down fossil fuel industries where it now looks like few if any of these new "green" types of jobs will generate any economic or tangible return to society whatsoever.
Not to be undone, the Connecticut of King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable enjoys this Biden-esque assault on genuine economic prosperity to steroidal proportions. While connected elites prosper, dangerous and incoherent conditions in cities have caused restaurant and storefront businesses to close in staggering numbers. Taxes on fuel have accelerated so rapidly that many modest people have been forced out of their critically needed vehicles. Taxpayer paid “economic development” funds are funneled to a should-be-abolished Department of Economic and Community Development to fund elitist and speculative projects with investment potential for the Lamont family business interests. Motorists following all of the rules are in a daily fight against the State Legislature to keep operating their gas-powered vehicles. Homeowners are vilified as racist, exclusionary, and environmentally dangerous by some Socialist-Marxist members of the Legislature and their tax-dollar supported nonprofits for merely wanting to live quietly in their homes and pay their bills. But as far as King Ned The Unaccountable is concerned, the state economy is great! After all, he’s been caught on several occasions benefiting from these state development dollars providing a major assist to his related-party investments, which he never admitted until my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo first caught him. In addition, he’s been to the Middle East at least three times by his own admission (twice in the post-war time frame) for supposed state “economic development” missions where few (if any) details have been provided to the public. All said, I would surmise that the Democrat-driven economic plans are great, if you are a high-ranking and loyal Democrat.
But as we return to the baseline, high taxes, high government debt and runaway inflation driven by incoherent and economically irrational economic policies and programs should be the theme of this year's Presidential and state elections. An unstable economy led by a feeble, mentally challenged President who continues to make poor choices enabled by equally incompetent economic advisors is ruining both our society and economy. Stable prices led by economic policies that promote growth and a country's self-sufficiency are essential for our country. But soon, the childish illusions must end. The United States cannot sustain a Democrat Party-controlled economy with instability and uncertainty. Because America has the economic ability and economic resources to expand and grow. America has the know how to resolve many of the current economic problems it has, the biggest being excessive government interference through a byzantine labyrinth of absurd bureaucracy force fed to us by the inefficiencies of our taxpayer supported government. We need new economic thoughts in 2024. Boldness. Innovation. Clarity. Not name calling, bloviation, serial incompetence, shaming, gloating and lies that we are forced to endure on a daily basis. It is high time for all Americans of all persuasions to prosper, and not just an elitist politically connected ruling class.

The Great Failed Reset And Pandemic Puppet Show
On June 3, 2024, the U.S. Senate Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic heard the testimony of Dr. Anthony Fauci (“Fauci”), the retired head of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with respect to his management (or more properly, mismanagement) of the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though some of the Congressional questioning and criticism was incisive and targeted, Fauci, being a skilled bureaucratic swamp creature, darted and dodged through many questions and statements that were either weak or rather were glowing statements by many Democrats. In the final analysis, only time will tell if this hearing was a springboard leading to a more effective prosecution of the fraud and of the mismanagement of Covid-19.
Unfortunately, many critical observers were left wanting after the Fauci testimony with respect to the critical questions left unanswered after the hearing concluded. Due to a myriad of reasons unknown, Congressional representatives did not sufficiently press Fauci as to where the convoluted nonsensical policies and reasoning as to the “coronavirus response” in the United States originated. For example, how was “social distancing” developed? Why were the schools closed? Who developed “phased reopening's”? How about “positivity counts?” Why was there masking and limited capacity in venues? Who killed the restaurant business? Why were there continuing coercions to forced vaccination? What was the logic? What were the reasons? Why was there gross mismanagement and errors in judgment? As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo said on his June 4, 2024 “Lee Elci Show” segment, the vast majority of political operatives and politicians do not have the mental capability nor vision in order to devise these masterplans, so something else must be afoot. However, it is unquestioned that Fauci held himself out as the living final authority on all things regarding Covid-19 as he arrogantly held the entire country under his authoritarian thumb.
If one watched and/or read the Fauci testimony, one may have become sickened that their tax monies supported these insane, unlawful, and draconian policies which led to many needless heartbreaking deaths and a massive economic loss that America has still yet to recover from. At least some of the legislative comments directed at Fauci from this hearing that are worthwhile: “A million Americans died from Covid-19, marking one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. Four years later, more than 10 million Americans are still suffering from long Covid. We continue to fight for accountability.” “(Fauci), in his role as chief medical adviser to the president, insisted upon mask and vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and overstated vaccine efficacy, often disregarding the public and private medical professional’s ability to assess the facts.” “Blocking FOIA requests: It’s also curious that after Dr. Fauci was questioned by our Senate HELP committee in May 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services shut down all Freedom of Information Act requests. Was (Fauci) involved in any discussions for this decision? Why was that decision made?” Many people also don’t know that (Fauci) received two government salaries simultaneously, making him the highest-paid federal employee ever. He was both the director of the NIAID and the director of civilian biodefense, which was operating with a $6 billion budget.(”https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/under-oath-fauci-must-answer-these-questions-5660314/) This Senator was well justified in his comments that still are being ignored by the media and the incoherent and unserious Biden Administration.
Also, did Fauci have a brain trust in working his twisted magic?
Needless to say, Connecticut had its profit driven motives during the Covid-19 crisis. I have written about them numerous times since the pandemic resulted in deafening silence from all sides as a result. My good friend Tony De Angelo who initially started to unwind the corruption of these state Covid-19 policies several years ago, re-introduced many of the same unanswered questions in his segment this past week on the Lee Elci Show on 94.9 FM. Tony submitted to the listeners that the same dastardly Covid-19 masterplan was hatched in the minds of Ivy-League consultants and indoctrinated into the weaker political minds of elected officials largely serving as enablers to the festivities along with Fauci and his colleagues. Trendy buzzwords such as "The Great Reset", "The New Normal", "Mask Mandates" and more key word phrases such as “The Greater Good,” are now part of our permanent vocabulary through the efforts of the non-elected but politically tied McKinsey Corporation group. A group who mysteriously was drafting the Covid-19 protocols and manuals for the State of New Jersey in 2019 and released the same in 2020 while forgetting to change the header date. A group whose "Covid-19 Updates" were issued to many elected lemmings such as King Gov. Ned Lamont The Unaccountable and his legislative enablers that did incredible damage to our economy and country as a whole that were accepted as the gospel truth while making these same officials appear cool, calm, collected and in charge where all they were doing was acting by a script. A group that in the case of Connecticut was buried in a nonprofit organization so the public never even knew they were involved, up until the time of Tony’s radio segments. It is unquestionable that something on a much greater scale was involved in pulling the Covid-19 puppet strings, and McKinsey proudly served the governments, colleges, schools, and military in this failed fashioning of The Great Reset.
Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic was a fantastic opportunity for the Lamonts and several of their close cronies and investors to exploit the State of Connecticut for their own personal gain and profit. The Lamont owned Oak/HC Limited Partnership was a fund that made great strides and profits thanks to the no- bid contracts it was able to secure from Connecticut Taxpayers during the Covid-19 crisis marched its way to a bonanza IPO ina huge "pump and dump" litigated stock scheme, with such “economic activity” hidden in and blessed by nonprofit AdvanceCT. This organization was concurrently housing and paying the McKinsey Corporation for its services. Let us never forget that in the beginning of the crisis during June 2020, Lamont-owned equity Sema-4 entered into a no-bid State of Connecticut contract for Covid-19 testing at the opportune moment. And Oak HC/FT invested in Sema-4 which was a DBA (doing business as) of Mount Sinai Genomics. Never forget as well that the Lamont limited partnership through a complex maze of companies, (many of which received Connecticut Taxpayers monies through forgiven loans and state grants), made an enormous profit during this crisis. A profit that goes undisclosed with no reactions whatsoever from ostensibly dimwitted and unconcerned (if not corrupt) body of elected officials from either party. And somehow, the state-run media remains silent with regards to questioning these "deals".
As Tony said on June 2, 2024, this situation is highly worth revisiting since the lies of the Covid-19 are being proven for real four years later. Many did not realize that they were being governed by the McKinsey Consulting Corporation secretly by proxy, with their directives passed down through the Faucis, Cuomos, and Lamonts of the world. And after many businesses and individuals lost everything they had economically and socially to an elite power that was financed by you and me the American Taxpayer, they scored, and you, lost. With that all said and known, justice needs to be exacted upon them all, once, and for all.

Deja Vu All Over Again Part V: The New $100 Million Dollar Connecticut Economic Bribe
As in past periods, glowing flowery language is required in order to propound the illusion. So here goes: "The Innovation Clusters Program will prioritize funding for catalytic capital projects that contribute to the development of a campus-setting and cohesive sense of place that complement the state’s existing transit-oriented investments and incorporate a strong focus on workforce training, economic development, neighborhood vibrancy and regional stakeholder collaboration." "Other criteria for funding include: Leveraging partnerships with local businesses, universities, and not-for-profit institutions to maximize investment; Attracting and developing talent; Supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; and Ensuring local improvements through community benefit agreements." (https://portal.ct.gov/office-of-the-governor/news/press-releases/2024/05-2024/governor-lamont-announces-creation-of-the-innovation-clusters-program)
If you are a non-connected standard-language Connecticut Taxpayer trying to decipher what on earth the above paragraph actually means, you may be wondering about the hundreds of millions of dollars that the DECD has given out over the years that is fully kept secret to the public and never really accounted for in a continual litany of fantasy “business development” projects, that if not highly questionable or unethical, have turned to dust. However undeterred, we now have another $100 million dollars that will be used in an identical fashion, and as an added attraction, this is an election year where vote-buying is the objective. However, the state-run media and public relations firms tell us that this funding is critical for the economic development of Connecticut! Connecticut! Connecticut! The state which has ranked last and or near last in most business-related categories such as costs, business friendliness, regulations, transportation, and the like. Connecticut! The state with one of the highest tax rates in the country having 344 different taxes and fees! Connecticut! The state that 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.
Of course, there is little to no originality in the trough-sucking of the “Innovation Cluster” prop. There is no need for any added efforts. First, King Gov. Ned Lamont the Unaccountable approaches the venue at Yale University with rambling platitudes of Connecticut being a “leader in Fintech and scientific innovation.” Yale, being an institution of higher learning where The Unaccountable is quick to come crowing about fantasy visions of economic sugar plums, but being the same place where he was nowhere to be found during the time of Anti-Israel disturbances. Yale: A place where the Unaccountable’s venture-capitalist wife Annie Lamont holds a high-ranking seat with “Yale Ventures” providing her a birds-eye view to cherry-pick any investment she may deem worthwhile at taxpayer expense. Don’t leave out the usual blandishments from the likes of the writers of Hearst, CT Mirror, CT News Junkie, and the business journals. It is the same story and the same characters, but just a different year and a whole lot of new taxpayer money.
Even a drunken sailor on leave buying drinks for an uncooperative woman knows when to put his wallet away and try his luck elsewhere. But not Connecticut! Connecticut! Where normal common sense does not apply! Where more multi-millions of dollars are handed over without ever having to account for the money that was given to Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD"“The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, CT Next, and Tidal River Fund. Many wonder where all the jobs and tax revenue are from these companies? Again, we have deafening silence from the Lamont Administration especially when inquiring about the Lamont-based Cayman Islands Limited Partnerships. How much money has been spent, with little to no results from it? Does anyone in the political orbit seem to care?
Again, these are just some more examples of the Lamont-DECD-Oak HC/FT recurring theme of using Connecticut taxpayer monies to prop up questionable investments made by Oak HC/FT and others enabled via the uncontrolled and secretive DECD cash spigot leading to either taxpayer-supported profit but much more often, risk-free loss. Followers of my blog and of Tony De Angelo on 94.9's "Lee Elci Show" are well-familiar with this Lamont shell game. We have both been discussing these problems for several years now with no response from anyone in either this administration or the state-run media. Thus, the new "Innovation Clusters" is the same game with the same result. Connecticut Taxpayers creating profit for the Lamont's family hedge fund and the politically connected Democrat Party. The Lamont rip-off continues unabated to the deafening silence of a lap-dog media and a Democrat supermajority, sprinkled with the silence (or encouragement) of members of the Republican legislature. Once again, taxpayer be damned.
